Chapter 241 Blind Spot of Time

The figure of "Night" disappeared into the shadows of the ruins, and the hastily drawn map on the ground became their only guide.

"Let's go." Su Wanqing was the first to take a step, her backpack was quite heavy, and she took each step firmly.

The team followed the markings on the map, navigating through the ruins in the northwest part of the city.

The buildings here collapsed even more completely, with twisted steel bars resembling the skeletons of monsters, blocking the way haphazardly.

They had to climb and jump between broken floorboards and suspended corridors, with each step potentially triggering a new collapse.

Above, the silver detector glided silently like a ghost, its beam sweeping across the ruins.

Lu Zhao stared intently at the terminal on his wrist, the numbers on the screen constantly changing.

“We have 7 minutes to reach the next blind spot, we have to speed up.” His voice was low, but his urgency was palpable.

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of detection swept through the hole above their heads, almost grazing Xiao Ran's back.

He immediately pressed himself against the shadow of a concrete slab, remaining motionless until the beam of light moved away.

This near-miss has happened several times along the way.

They finally arrived at the final location marked on the map, the top of an unfinished building where only the load-bearing structure remained.

Looking up from here, the massive basal structure of the Weaver mothership is clearly visible, like an inverted mountain, silently floating about three hundred meters above the city, casting a suffocating shadow.

"Get ready." Lu Zhao's finger hovered over the terminal screen, his eyes fixed on the countdown.

Everyone held their breath.

"Three, two, one... Blind spot begins!"

The moment he finished speaking, the flowing silver light of all the patrolling detectors in the sky dimmed simultaneously, and their movements became sluggish, as if they were being dragged by an invisible force.

"Now! We must get into the mothership within three minutes!" Lin Che shouted, grabbing the cable of the traction device that Lu Zhao had prepared earlier.

Using the wreckage of the building and the powerful traction device modified by Lu Zhao, the five people began to climb towards the bottom of the mothership.

The buzzing sound of the cable was particularly jarring in the silent air.

As she took to the air, Su Wanqing could clearly see the erased city area below.

It wasn't just destruction or disappearance, but rather absolute "blank spaces," as if several pieces of the canvas of reality had been wiped away, revealing the void beneath.

Xiao Ran gripped the cable tightly with one hand and protected Xiao Ling in his arms with the other, struggling to maintain his balance high in the air.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the outline of the mothership rapidly magnified in my field of vision.

Lu Zhao's voice came through the communicator, accompanied by a countdown: "Thirty seconds left!"

Just then, at the bottom of the mothership directly above, a gate to a maintenance passage quietly slid open, and just as "Night" described, a dazzling energy surge erupted from it, like a brief waterfall.

"Quick! Follow the energy wave in!" Lu Zhao shouted.

The five of them exerted all their strength, turning the traction device to its maximum power, and their bodies shot towards the energy light curtain like pebbles.

Just a second before they entered the tunnel, the three-minute blind spot ended.

Behind them, the detectors returned to their normal silver sheen, and the maintenance passage closed, isolating them from all sound. They had successfully infiltrated the mothership.

The space here is far more vast than imagined. It is a huge hemispherical space with no visible boundaries, its inner walls covered with countless tiny, faintly glowing crystal chambers, densely packed like a honeycomb.

In each cabin, a frozen scene floats, a fragment of time frozen in time.

They saw ancient soldiers in iron armor charging on the battlefield, factories billowing smoke from the Industrial Revolution era, and the bustling modern cities they were familiar with... It was like a giant museum that contained time itself.

“This is the Time Collection Library,” Lin Che said, his voice sounding somewhat ethereal in the empty space. “The Weavers don’t just erase time; they collect all the historical fragments they deem worth preserving.”

The group cautiously moved between the crystal chambers, speechless at the sight before them.

"That's...us!" Xiaoling suddenly pointed to a group of cabins on the left and exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and froze. The records in those cabins were fragments of their own past reincarnations.

In one scene, Su Wanqing, wearing a white lab coat, struggles to survive in a laboratory full of instruments; in another, Lin Che, covered in wounds, searches for something in a ruin; and next to him, Xiao Ran, carrying young Xiao Ling on his back, desperately escapes from pursuit in the city's alleyways... Scenes of past failures are displayed here as specimens.

Lu Zhao strode over to the records and carefully studied the data stream flowing on the outer wall of the cabin, his brows furrowed.

“This is not just collection…it’s evaluation! The Weavers are evaluating us, evaluating whether humanity is worthy of being ‘preserved’!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge light screen slowly rose from the darkness of the central area, displaying countless symbols of weavers, which combined to form an assessment report.

Lin Che attempted to decipher the contents of the document using his awakened memories.

“In the first and second cycles, humanity’s performance was labeled as ‘ordinary adaptive species’… The third time, as ‘potential mutants’… The fourth time, ‘creative thinking beings’…” His voice grew deeper and deeper, “The fifth time, which is now, is labeled as ‘final evaluation’…”

"What does the final assessment mean?" Su Wanqing looked towards the control room. "Does it mean they'll decide to arrest us, or let us go?"

Just as everyone was pondering, Xiao Ran's attention was drawn to a smaller fragment of time on the side.

He was drawn there as if by something. To his surprise, he discovered that the scene inside was his father's secret laboratory.

In the scene, the father is injecting a golden liquid into the unconscious young girl, while a gene chain pattern that is extremely similar to the Orion sequence is displayed on the computer screen next to him.

Xiao Ran strained to decipher his father's lip movements, reading out the silent words: "They're here... I must protect you... This genetic combination may be the only defense..."

At that moment, Xiao Ran understood. His father was never a mad scientist; he had long known about the threat posed by the Weaver.

He turned and pulled Xiaoling over, showing her this memory as well. Xiaoling quietly looked at her father and herself in the image, and after a long while, she whispered, "I always thought Dad was a crazy scientist... but it turns out he was protecting us."

Her distinctive purple eyes gleamed slightly. "Those experiments... gave me special abilities... that allowed me to resist their detection."

Xiao Ran hugged his younger sister tightly. "Dad never explained... If only we had known the truth back then..."

“He can’t say,” Xiaoling shook her head. “If he does, it might attract more attention.”

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and their resentment towards their father transformed into understanding and respect.

This understanding strengthened their resolve to complete their mission.

"The third core!" Just then, Xiaoling suddenly pointed to the largest crystal chamber located directly below the entire space in the distance.

Everyone looked in that direction. Sure enough, in the special compartment directly below the central control room, a core was quietly suspended in a complex energy field, emitting a red glow.
