My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 433 - 204: Earth’s Limit_3

The Cloned Empire...

Why are all the clones running out?

The two of them passed through various access checkpoints along the way without needing to greet anyone.

Although they encountered many people along the way, no one greeted the people around them, and it seemed that no one even knew that Zhao Jiayan was the person in charge of Duobei Snow Mountain.

However, since Zhao Jiayan’s access was approved, no one would stop them either.

This place felt very strange to Yang Yuan.

As for what exactly was strange... it should belong to that kind of cold sci-fi world feeling.

The technological level was too high, and the amount of knowledge mastered was too great. Everything could be explained by science and technology, which made the emotions of the people here seem very indifferent.

However, he was not sure if this was an illusion.

Soon, they arrived at the deepest part of the Technology Association’s medical department.

Zhao Jiayan looked at the tablet and said, "This is it. Ahead is Lu Mei’s ward, but according to what it says here, there might be danger inside."

"What kind of danger?" Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

Zhao Jiayan tapped on the tablet: "There will be a spiritual impact on the mind, and emotions will be affected."

"I should be fine. Do you want to wait outside?"

"Let’s go together. I’m at least Earth’s Limit now."

"Alright then."

The two of them immediately walked toward Lu Mei’s ward.

Yang Yuan walked in front and gently pushed open the door.

"Huh?"

"Oh?"

They were both surprised to find that this room wasn’t just a simple ward but a huge space.

As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with peach blossoms, as if they had arrived at Peach Blossom Island.

From the outside, it looked like a normal hospital ward, but inside it was a different world.

"Didn’t you know the Technology Association had this kind of technology?" Yang Yuan asked.

"I haven’t had time to understand it before; the Technology Association has too much technology." Zhao Jiayan shook her head.

That’s true.

Yang Yuan walked in front, stepping on the peach blossoms underfoot, marveling: "It looks real."

"Isn’t it real?" Zhao Jiayan caught a petal and asked in confusion.

"Very realistic, but ultimately not real. Haven’t you noticed? Everything here looks too beautiful, with a filter over it."

Yang Yuan said, "The real scene wouldn’t be like this. This must be some kind of sci-fi technology."

As they talked, the two of them arrived in front of a thatched cottage and suddenly stopped.

In front of the thatched cottage, a man and a woman were sitting upright.

The woman was naturally Lu Mei.

But the man...

"Brother Yang Yuan? Are you especially surprised to see me?"

Yan Chenggong stood up and said with a smile, "Amei, get chairs for Brother Yang Yuan and Sister-in-law."

Lu Mei got up, went inside the cottage, brought out two chairs for them, and then returned dutifully to Yan Chenggong’s side.

"Brother Yang Yuan, sit down quickly. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Sister-in-law, have a seat too."

With a smile, Yan Chenggong pulled out chairs for them himself.

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan exchanged a glance, both feeling something was off.

This place was supposed to be a mental hospital.

But the scene before them didn’t look like a hospital at all; it was more like a paradise.

Moreover, Lu Mei’s condition...

At this moment, Lu Mei was no longer blackened, nor did she have that deathly aura. Instead, she had regained her former grace and dignity.

But Yang Yuan, fearless below the Heaven level, pulled Zhao Jiayan down to sit, curiously looking at Yan Chenggong across from them: "It has been a long time. Director Yan, what have you been busy with lately?"

"It’s a long story."

Yan Chenggong smiled and said, "Let’s not talk about that. Let the past be past. But Brother Yang Yuan, what have you been up to recently?"

"What can I do? Fighting monsters, leveling up, and also going to outer space to enjoy the view." Yang Yuan said.

Yan Chenggong was stunned: "Brother Yang Yuan sure knows how to joke."

Yang Yuan smiled, looking at Lu Mei beside Yan Chenggong: "I’m more curious about what you’ve been up to lately."

Opposite, Yan Chenggong frowned.

And Lu Mei looked at Yang Yuan blankly.

Just as Yang Yuan wanted to say something, Zhao Jiayan suddenly pulled him up and apologized: "Yang Yuan isn’t good with words; please don’t mind."

As she spoke, she quickly pulled Yang Yuan to leave.

Yang Yuan was perplexed, but he trusted Zhao Jiayan, so he didn’t resist.

As they walked out, he secretly used the scanning function of his Power Armor to scan the statuses of Lu Mei and Yan Chenggong.

On the radar map, Yan Chenggong was looking at his back with a somewhat gloomy expression, while Lu Mei, like a housewife, was serving beside him.

Very soon, the two of them stepped out of the Peach Blossom Forest and finally left the ward.

"That was close."

Zhao Jiayan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened?" Yang Yuan asked curiously.

Zhao Jiayan continued pulling Yang Yuan outward, sighing: "That Lu Mei is really remarkable. She used some special means to construct a spiritual world, a world that only exists in her memory. So the current ’Yan Chenggong’ doesn’t know he’s already dead. If we break that state recklessly, Lu Mei might truly go insane."

"A spiritual world?"

Yang Yuan looked back curiously, but unfortunately, the ward door had already closed automatically, leaving nothing visible from the outside.

"Originally, I couldn’t tell it was a spiritual world either, but my ’One Short of Ten’ ability clearly sensed it. That world is under construction, and, unsurprisingly, this situation is likely being deliberately allowed by the Technology Association."

Zhao Jiayan sighed: "Although I’m the person in charge here, the situation at the Technology Association is too complex. I’m not a technical person myself, I can’t decide what the people below should research."
