It seems like a moment, but also seems like eternity.

My consciousness was blurred in reality a moment ago, but I slowly woke up in my dream.

Chen Xiaoze felt the cold and smooth feeling of the liquid on his skin, as well as the wrapping sensation transmitted back to his brain from his limbs and torso.

Open your eyes slowly...

At this time, he was lying naked in a closed space, wrapped in a viscous light green liquid.

The hatch that was less than ten centimeters from the tip of the nose was closed, giving people an inexplicable feeling of oppression and fear.

The next moment, the feeling of suffocation suddenly came from the throat, which made Chen Xiaoze retch for a while, as if he was blocked by something.

He suddenly grabbed it toward his mouth and pulled it wildly.

What he started with was a thick tube, which he pulled out of his trachea, half a meter long.

Tsk~~!

The oxygen supply system left the human body, triggering the emergency procedure of the dormant cabin, the airlock was activated, and the hatch cover was opened.

Chen Xiaoze suddenly sat up from the liquid and took a big breath as if he wanted to suck all the air into his lungs.

Then, his vision went dark and he fainted.

The next moment, the world is turned upside down, from virtual to reality.

He sat up from the bed suddenly, unable to hide his panic. Although he was breathing smoothly, he couldn't help but gasp for air as in a dream.

"How did those guys travel a kilometer?"

This is the actual situation of Chen Xiaoze in the dream. Let alone getting out of the dormant cabin, he always faints in the dream when he breaks out of the cabin and returns to reality.

Because the setting in the dream is that he was lying in the dormant cabin for a long, long time, maybe a few years, maybe decades, or hundreds of years.

The body maintains the lowest metabolic state for a long time, resulting in extreme weakness and even organ damage. Simply extubating the tube and getting up is enough to exhaust all physical strength and cause instant shock.

So, how do those infected people who go out one kilometer do it?

After calming down, Chen Xiaoze overcame his fear and lay down again.

Although he is not very courageous, does not have many excellent qualities, and is relatively lazy, one thing that is good about him is that Chen Xiaoze never thinks that anything is "unsolvable".

This time, Chen Xiaoze was much calmer, waiting for the world to turn around.

It's still the same scene, the same situation.

Slowly raise your hand, slide it to your mouth in the liquid, then endure retching, and slowly pull out the breathing tube.

Chi!!

There was the sound of the airlock again, and the hatch cover opened again.

Chen Xiaoze was not in a hurry. Even though his lungs were already burning and in urgent need of oxygen, he still took it slowly, slowly.

Holding the edge of the cabin with both hands, he slowly sat up until his mouth and nose were exposed to the sleeping fluid, and then he took a sharp breath.

I didn’t faint this time!!

Even though he was overjoyed, Chen Xiaoze still did not dare to be careless and remained seated, motionless, to avoid wasting energy. After feeling his body recover a little, he looked around.

What is said on the Internet is correct, this is a dark, silent and strange space, with only the green fire lights of the dormant cabin illuminating the speckled area, which is almost the same as being invisible.

What is vaguely identifiable is that the objects acquired are all made of metal.

In addition, the slightly fluorescent dormant cabin could not see the edge. Well, that was his guess. All he could see was the first-level working condition display with a large light spot on the hatch cover.

Didn't it say on the Internet that they are all dormant cabins?

"I don't know if the people lying inside are living people or rotten bones."

Fighting back his random thoughts and fear, Chen Xiaoze's next step was to climb out of the biological cabin.

This process was still difficult. The endless hunger and fatigue were disintegrating his will all the time. He could truly feel that there was nothing in his stomach and intestines.

"thump!"

Chen Xiaoze finally climbed out of the biological cabin and fell into the metal floor.

The cold touch made him...

But the moment he landed, his vision went dark, and he fainted again.

Chen Xiaoze woke up from reality and was completely speechless, "This is too unreal."

Reluctantly, I tried to fall asleep again. After a long time, I entered the dream world.

This time, Chen Xiaoze was more careful.

Same scene, same process.

Remove the tube.

Get up

Climb out of the biopod.

Then stood up!

And then.

woke up.

Yes, he did the step of climbing out of the dormant cabin, but the process of standing up was too energy-consuming and he got stuck again.

I tried several times, but the most I could do was stand up. If a person suddenly stands up after lying down for a long time, his blood will flow downwards, and he will definitely faint.

Chen Xiaoze is excited. There is no solution to this problem, only wrong methods. Then optimize the process, don’t stand up, and crawl to the head office?

So, the next time, Chen Xiaoze didn't get up after climbing out of the biological cabin, and just squirmed on the ground.

Sure enough, it worked. This time Chen Xiaoze climbed a few meters away before fainting and returning to reality.

The ground is a little cold, and the eggs are even colder.

Don't forget, he's still naked.

There was no rush to enter the dreamland this time, Chen Xiaoze began to meditate on reality.

With the physical strength in the dream, it is completely impossible to climb far.

"Those grandsons aren't bragging, are they?"

It's very possible!

One person starts blowing, and the rest follow suit.

After all, you have already walked 500 meters out, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing for me to die when I leave the cabin.

If it were Chen Xiaoze, he wouldn't be able to tell the truth! This is a matter of face.

But is it really impossible?

I don’t believe that everyone is bragging, there must be a way to continue exploring, otherwise this dream is meaningless.

Go to sleep again and try again.

From a few meters to more than ten meters

More than twenty meters

Thirty meters

Fifty meters!!

It can't go any further. With Chen Xiaoze's physical condition, it can only go this far.

Finally, Chen Xiaoze was tired.

The process of climbing out of the dormant cabin and then fainting again and again is not pleasant, and having to endure hunger and weakness is even more frustrating.

He simply lay down back in the dormant cabin. This time he didn't bother and wanted to find another way to die.

Letting the viscous liquid submerge it, he opened the airlock and closed the hatch cover, using it as a coffin.

Finally, Chen Xiaoze came to the conclusion that dying from exhaustion was much better than drowning.

Returning to reality, Chen Xiaoze looked at the ceiling and smiled bitterly. He somewhat understood the infected people on the Internet who were enjoying their misery.

A completely unsolvable nightmare that cannot be escaped and can only be endured. So what else can you do if you don't get farther than anyone else?

Closing his eyes, Chen Xiaoze did not fall asleep this time, but went through every detail of the dream scene in his mind.

Sleeping cabin.

Dormant liquid.

A tube inserted into the trachea.

hatch cover

More sleeping pods
