Chapter 172 Jennifer's Appearance
However, after searching around, they found nothing.
Just as the fatty got up, intending to call the others to look elsewhere, someone suddenly patted him on the back.
The fatty turned around abruptly.
"Jennifer!" the fatty exclaimed excitedly, tears welling up in his eyes. "Jennifer, do you know how long we've been looking for you? This is great, we finally found you!"
Jennifer had no expression on her face, even a little dull.
Seeing that Jennifer didn't react, the fatty called out Jennifer's name a few more times.
Jennifer still didn't say a word. She suddenly grabbed the fatty's hand and ran wildly outside.
The fatty almost lost his balance and fell when Jennifer pulled him, but Jennifer didn't care, grabbing the fatty's hand and running out without looking back.
The fatty stumbled as he ran, panting and asking, "Jennifer, where are we going? What about Joey and the others? Let's get them to leave together."
Jennifer remained unmoved and kept running.
The more the fatty thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but his hand was firmly grasped by Jennifer, and he couldn't break free. He kept muttering behind her.
Jennifer was like a mute, not saying a word.
The fatty was dragged along by Jennifer like this, with no possibility of acting on his own.
…
After running for an unknown amount of time, the fatty suddenly felt a slap on his face and immediately woke up.
"Who?" the fatty shouted subconsciously.
"It's me! Joey!"
Joey was standing in front of the fatty, staring at him as if observing an idiot.
The fatty gradually came back to his senses, his eyes beginning to focus. He slowly looked at Joey and asked, "What... what happened to me?"
Joey pointed to the white robe lying on the ground and said, "Fatty, you were also tricked just now."
The fatty rubbed his eyes in disbelief, confirming that it was indeed a white robe lying on the ground, and he realized that he had been tricked just now.
"Damn, I thought I found Jennifer. This is really hard to guard against…" the fatty said with a sigh. "And, I don't remember looking into his eyes. I only remember being tricked as soon as I turned around."
Levan had repeatedly emphasized not looking at the exposed eyes of the white robes, but judging from the fatty's experience, the eyes of the white robes didn't seem to be the only way to induce hallucinations.
The fatty had a bad feeling. He was very worried that the white robe lying on the ground was Jennifer.
If that person was really Jennifer, then Jennifer might really be dead.
The fatty nervously lifted the white robe of the person lying on the ground – the person inside was not Jennifer, but a gaunt foreigner with skin that was already blackish-purple.
The fatty breathed a sigh of relief.
But Levan was no longer calm. He rushed to the person's side and examined him carefully. After a short while, he said blankly, "This is Jonar, a companion who strayed in here with me back then…"
Levan was a little saddened. He thought he would never see his companion again. He never expected that among the white robes who had been chasing him for two hundred years, there would actually be his companion from back then.
With reality before their eyes, everyone basically understood the origin of the white robes.
When a white robe captures a person, it will turn that person into a new white robe. As for how, it is unknown.
Suddenly, rumbling sounds rang out from all around, like the sound of a machine starting up.
The fatty, Joey, and Levan looked around vigilantly. They found that Dodge was gone.
"Dodge!" the fatty shouted around.
Dodge's voice came through the rumbling sound, responding from behind a few jars, "I… I'm here… I seem to have accidentally touched some kind of mechanism."
The fatty hurriedly asked, "What's going on!"
Dodge followed the fatty's voice and came to his side, stammering for a long time without saying anything specific.
The rumbling sound continued to ring around them, and the layer of material covering the outside of the surrounding jars was gradually pulled up to the top of the jars like a cover.
The contents inside the jars gradually emerged.
Through the transparent glass walls of the jars, the fatty and the others were able to get a glimpse of the situation inside the jars.
Each jar was filled with a large amount of light green liquid, and a species was completely immersed in the liquid. These species should still be alive and in a dormant state.
The species in different jars were different. There were hardly any identical species in the hundreds of jars.
This laboratory was more like a specimen display hall, with many species displayed in the jars like exhibits.
The fatty saw among them the creatures they had seen in the crystalline grids of the cave passage before, including fully evolved chimpanzees, amphibious fish-men with gills, and many plants and animals that were eliminated in the early stages of the simulated world. Their bodies were completely stored in these jars.
Among them, the most terrifying was still the body of an early human who had completed evolution, immersed in the light green liquid. When the fatty observed the body structure of this person through the transparent glass, he found that the person's composition and organs were almost identical to those of humans in real life, as if this person was a person in real life.
But the fatty understood in his heart that this "person" did not actually originate from humans in the real world, but was "incubated" by the world created by this meteorite.
The fatty felt a chill down his spine looking at the lifelike human body immersed in the liquid.
