Chapter 218: Source Code
Chapter 218: Source Code (4)
The murderer was in the car that exploded!
Zhang Ying, Ma Zhao and others analyzed the situation in detail and instantly locked down the approximate range of the target.
At the same time, this also successfully aroused the curiosity and desire to explore of the audience. Some people even began to recall the supporting characters who had appeared in previous movie plots, trying to analyze which of them was more suspicious.
After Dr. Ma Zhao's explanation, Zhang Ying quickly resumed his efforts to capture the terrorist.
As for whether there was anything wrong with this "source code" task, he put aside all the unreasonable aspects of the entire task process.
Chinese soldiers take it as their bounden duty to obey orders and to protect the lives and property of the people.
This is ingrained in their bones. No matter how many problems there are, they will ensure that the task is completed!
As for how to capture the criminal hiding in the dream, Zhang Ying first thought of an idea, which was to dismantle the bomb.
Although the explosion now only occurs in the dream, it doesn't seem to have much impact whether the bomb is defused or not.
But if someone shows up with a dismantled bomb, the terrorists who set the bomb might lose their composure and reveal their flaws.
Zhang Ying did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately asked Gao Deng how to defuse the bomb.
Gao Deng was naturally not stingy. After carefully inquiring about the type of bomb, he explained it immediately.
"That bomb is a combination bomb, a special type developed by Pan Chengfeng. Its characteristic is that it can be separated into different things for transportation, and it has a strong concealment.
There are several key points to dismantling this kind of bomb..."
Gao Deng spoke seriously and Zhang Ying listened carefully. At the end, Gao Deng did not forget to remind her:
"Pan Chengfeng likes to leave a backup plan in the smallest details when he bombs. Remember to be careful. It doesn't matter if you can't defuse it right away. After all, at the beginning... even if I were to defuse it, it would take me a lot of effort."
However, he had barely finished saying this when, accompanied by several shots of people being killed by the explosion in various situations, Zhang Ying was already able to successfully and skillfully dismantle the bomb.
The story takes place here, and the whole movie is already halfway through, and everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
After all, with the help of Shi Qiang, Gao and others, the bomb has been successfully dismantled by Zhang Ying, and the murderer who placed the bomb is about to be arrested.
The audience waited with Zhang Ying, wanting to see the criminal's stunned expression when he discovered that the bomb did not explode.
But when eight minutes were up, before Zhang Ying could carefully observe the passengers at the scene, there was a loud bang and the train passing by next door suddenly derailed and hit Zhang Ying's train.
"boom!"
Zhang Ying suddenly woke up from the terror of death and returned to the black space again.
"What happened just now?!" Zhang Ying asked puzzledly after explaining the details.
Faced with this question, Shi Qiang, who has rich experience in dream entry, quickly gave an answer.
"Because those people's memories are up to the time of the explosion, once the time is up, without the support of memory, the dream space will tend to collapse and be destroyed."
"That means even if I dismantle the bomb, the train and the passengers on it will not be rescued?" A trace of unwillingness flashed across Zhang Ying's face.
Shi Qiang looked at him, seemed to have noticed something, and quickly said to him:
“It was just a dream, Captain Zhang Ying!
Everything you have experienced is fake. That train and the passengers on it have no future.
Even if you defuse the bomb, there will still be other accidents that end the dream.
Perhaps a train derailed, or there was another attack, or even a meteorite fell from the sky.
So find the terrorist, bring him to justice in reality, and give an explanation to those compatriots who died. This is what you should do! "Perhaps Shi Qiang's persuasion worked, Zhang Ying regained her spirit and entered the dream again.
But this time the camera did not follow Zhang Ying's footsteps, but remained in the monitoring room filled with various equipment.
"Captain Zhang Ying may not have much time left!"
Shi Qiang's first words were shocking, but Dr. Ma Zhao, who was standing opposite him, didn't seem to be surprised.
"Yes, the biggest hidden danger for dreamers when carrying out missions is that they can easily blur the boundary between reality and dreams as they travel through dreams again and again, and thus cannot distinguish which moment is reality and which moment is a dream."
When saying this, Dr. Ma Zhao seemed to have remembered something bad, and a look of sadness and grief flashed across his face.
Shi Qiang, who was very observant, naturally noticed this. Thinking of the records in the archives, he immediately changed the subject calmly:
"It seems that Captain Zhang Ying has already shown signs of this. Perhaps we should tell him more of the truth."
Dr. Ma Zhao shook his head.
"Not right, not right. The dream space will be affected by the subconscious. If Captain Zhang Ying knew the truth, I'm afraid he might not be able to maintain his current state."
"But if this continues..."
Shi Qiang paused, then said hesitantly, "Actually, this task should be carried out by me. After all, among these people, I am the only one who is more familiar with things like entering dreams."
“But this joint dream is mostly constructed with the brain waves of the deceased, and the entire dream space is on the verge of collapse.
If you enter as an ordinary person, once the dream collapses, you will most likely end up brain dead. That's too risky, so Captain Zhang Ying is more suitable."
Dr. Ma Zhao said this, obviously rejecting Shi Qiang's suggestion again.
At this time, Qin Yanni, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Teacher, why didn't you tell Captain Zhang the method you taught me?"
Shi Qiang understood what method she was talking about, so he said, "It's useless. That method at least ensures that you can be in the real space, and Captain Zhang Ying's current situation..."
Before he could finish his words, the troop leader next to him suddenly spoke.
"I trust my soldiers."
These words were powerful and full of determination. Shi Qiang opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
Let’s stop here for the discussion about dreams.
In the dream, as the number of cycles increased, the audience also experienced explosions again and again with Zhang Ying, while also unlocking various clues and characters.
During this process, the brains of the protagonist and the audience are also working fast. Even if the plot is repeated in just one train car, everyone's attention is still extremely focused, and they are even a little unable to stop, and they do not feel bored because of the monotony of the scene.
At this moment, the audience seemed to have entered that virtual dream world with Zhang Ying, facing one difficulty after another together to defend the country and the people, retreating and restarting when they failed, and approaching the truth when they succeeded.
That is to say, in these repeated cycles, the audience and the director complete the interaction and communication of ideas, and their emotions are repeatedly superimposed in these repeated cycles.
Finally, when Zhang Ying explained all this to his fiancée, an unintentional remark caused all these repeatedly accumulated emotions to explode.
It turned out that they all overlooked one thing, that is, Zhang Ying and his fiancée also took this train to their hometown to hold their wedding.
In other words, if what Shi Qiang and others said was true, then Zhang Ying and the other two might have died in the train explosion.
At this moment, the person who is working tirelessly and risking his life to track down terrorists in the dream may just be the immortal heroic soul of a Chinese soldier!
