Many times, travelers would go to the academy and say that they were gene warriors or cultivators. Although they were not in City 10, they could go to City 10 immediately to help.
The Red Leaf Organization's Jiu Ran also contacted the Academy, saying that the Red Leaf Organization's Time Walkers were closest to City 10 and could rush there to provide support and meet them outside the city.
But Zheng Yuandong refused them all.
Because any extreme or group behavior could lead the corporation to discover the Timewalker's identity, which would have even worse consequences.
I appreciate your kind gesture.
Zheng Yuandong said to Lu Yuan, "That's how the Chinese nation is. We may seem very loose in ordinary times, but once we encounter difficulties and disasters, we will always join hands to overcome them together. This was true a thousand years ago, and it will be true a thousand years from now. Unity is a gene and spirit engraved in the bones of everyone."
Amidst the clamor of the time travelers.
Luo Wanya landed on the island.
132 family members also came with them.
They strode through the academy, and Xiao San exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the academy on Whale Island, "Wow, this place is so beautiful! If I had been able to study in a place like this, I wouldn't have needed to go out into the world!"
Someone joked, "What does your academic performance have to do with your environment? You'd still be a slacker here."
Everyone was chatting and laughing, but Luo Wanya's face remained solemn, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
As the time travelers watched over a hundred family members walk past, they instinctively made way for them.
These 132 family members are quite different from the students of the academy from head to toe. They have traveled to various cities, leaving behind a body full of scars and an extremely fierce temperament.
The students watched them walk towards the College of Agriculture, and then they realized... these were once again the fierce generals under the command of that 'little dean'.
"Little Dean" is the respectful title that the Time Travelers in the academy use to address Qing Chen.
The reason for adding the word "little" is simply because Qingchen is so young; adding "little" makes him seem more approachable.
As their family members walked by, Chen Sui watched silently from the square, as did Jiu Ran.
The leaders of various clubs were also watching.
Then everyone clearly realized the true gap between their organization and daytime.
Arriving at the entrance of the Agricultural College, Luo Wanya knocked on the door.
The small iron gate opened, and he and his family filed in.
“Parents,” Luo Wanya said, looking at Qing Chen.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao San and his entourage stood behind Luo Wanya, shouting in a grand manner, "Greetings, parents!"
However, in that instant, it was as if Qingchen had been suddenly transported to the entrance of the Axe Gang on the Bund in Haicheng in the early 20th century.
And he himself was the leader of the Axe Gang...
"Don't do that," Qingchen waved his hand and said, "Go and help with the work. Work during the day and cultivate at night. You can't stop for a moment."
Qing Chen left Luo Wanya alone, and the two walked to the city model in the square, looking at the energetic students.
Qing Chen said softly, "Many people will die this time."
“I understand,” Luo Wanya nodded. “I gave them a heads-up on the way here, but you don’t need to worry, boss. They are the best fighters in the parent-teacher association.”
"How many families are there in City 10?" Qing Chen asked.
"There are 12,003 people, but most of them are not Time Walkers. There are only 812 Time Walkers. A total of 1,281 people have practiced the Cundi Dharma. Among them, the majority are at level E, 211 are at level D, and 7 are at level C, including Xiao San."
Luo Wanyi's thorough knowledge of the personnel configuration of the entire City 10 indicates that this member of the Black family had put in a lot of hard work.
A manager who can only vaguely report "more than 10,000" the number of his subordinates is definitely a failure.
Those who don't pay attention to details are not qualified to expand their territory.
Luo Wanya continued, “Every city’s parent association has liaisons. This position was set up to prevent communication base stations from being monitored. 120 liaisons can travel all over the city by motorcycle within an hour, bringing together all 12,003 family members and uniting them as one. Now, it’s coming in handy.”
Qingchen said, "I need them to gather their families and inform all the residents along the way that a disaster is about to occur... Lao Luo, do you know what they will face?"
“They will be recorded by cameras along the way and then labeled as PTA members. Regardless of the outcome in City 10, they will no longer be able to live in the Federation,” Rowan said.
“Even so, I still asked them to do it,” Qingchen looked at Luo Wanya: “Old Luo, will you question my decision? Sacrificing your family to save those innocent residents, even if those residents won’t understand you, or even thank you.”
Luo Wanyi remained silent for a long time: "I will not question any of your decisions."
Qingchen nodded: "After the family members gathered together, I asked them to hold the Lower Three Districts to the death, and no one was allowed to evacuate."
Qing Chen pointed to the sand table: "Only if the Time Travelers from the Academy prove that the border crossing is passable can they lead the residents of the Lower Three Districts to evacuate. Otherwise, even if they die, they must help me guard the passage from other districts into the Lower Three Districts, which is everyone's lifeline. At that time, you must lead the residents to guard that place together and wait for the Federal Army Group's rescue."
Qing Chen: "But City 10 is the political center. To avoid suspicion, all the federal army groups are stationed more than 600 kilometers away. In the previous battle at Forbidden Land No. 002, when the various conglomerates were preparing for military exercises, they also transferred their troops away. This means that the reinforcements will not arrive too quickly."
Qing Chen: "Moreover, what's coming might not be support, but war. You need to block all the sewers in the lower three districts as soon as possible, and then guard the three main roads that lead to the seventh, eighth, and ninth districts, namely Dragon Scale Road, Alliance Road, and Riverside Road."
“Many people will die,” Luo Wanya said gravely.
Qing Chen stood in the vast square, looking at the sand table before him: "But this is the meaning of the Parents' Association's existence. Lao Luo, only when the Parents' Association sincerely helps this world will the world be willing to help us. If the world and fate require us to sacrifice ourselves in this catastrophe to prove our sincerity in changing the world, then I don't mind becoming one of those sacrifices. My family members may not understand my decision, but they must carry it out. Lao Luo, have them guard the Lower Three Districts for me. This is an order."
Luo Wanyi fell silent again, and after a long time he suddenly asked, "Boss, making the decision to send everyone to their deaths must be hard to swallow, right?"
Qing Chen smiled and said, "Go ahead and get busy."
Luo Wanyi walked toward the war fortress. At one point, he turned back to look at the figure who was staring intently at the sand table and suddenly felt that the other person must be very lonely right now.
Actually, up to now.
Qingchen has planned the route for 4,811 time travelers.
He devised crude tactics for the Kunlun members and their families.
However, he has not yet planned a way out for the nearly ten million residents of City 10.
He himself wanted to kill Qingwen.
He was going to find the neurotoxin expert, Yuan Yang's widow, who was mentioned in the clues provided by He Jinqiu.
He needed to rescue Qingyi, contact the Secret Service, and help Lao Shen move.
He had so much to do, but only so much time.
Qing Chen... hasn't even planned his route yet.
...
...
Countdown 01:00:00.
4,811 Time Walkers, more than 600 Kunlun members, and more than 100 Parents Association members all gathered in the square.
Qing Chen stood calmly in front of them, while Lu Yuan solemnly took out five True Sight Eyes and handed them to Xiao San: "I've taught you how to use them. We can't be sure where the end of the Key Gate will be, but as long as it's not a particularly dangerous place, we can take the citizens away from City 10 first... There's only one thing: the Key Gate can only be opened by a few True Sight Eyes, and each time only two people can pass through, so it will be very slow."
There are five million residents in the lower three districts alone. Even if only two residents pass through every second on average, there is absolutely not enough time to evacuate them.
And most importantly, residents won't easily follow their parents to the meeting.
The mistress said with a smile, "Let's send away as many as we can."
At this moment, those time travelers who were not in City 10 also came to the square.
They rushed to hug the 4,811 time travelers, offering encouragement and blessings.
The time travelers in City 10 are like soldiers about to go to war, while the others are like their loved ones seeing them off on a train to a distant place.
One of the travelers said, "If you come back alive, we'll collect enough points to treat you to special meals and beer at the cafeteria."
The Traveler said, "If you can come back alive, you can have all the best points-earning projects from the academy."
Chen Zhuoqu looked at them expressionlessly: "No need, it's already very easy to take, thank you."
Xiaoqi: "..."
The words of this "King of Scrolls" are always too blunt and inappropriate.
Qing Chen glanced at the time, then looked at everyone: "We have done everything we could in the limited time we have. Next, everyone will face the darkest seven days. I am also in City 10, with you all. I hope that at midnight seven days from now, we will all still be standing here alive."
The next second.
The countdown has reached zero.
The world fell into darkness, and then light returned.
The dazzling City No. 10 is still right before my eyes.
Qing Chen, holding Zhang Mengqian's hand, said, "Be careful, we're going to be in danger."
“Boss, I’m not afraid,” Zhang Mengqian shook her head.
But at that moment, an explosion suddenly came from the north of the city, and a huge flame shot into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
Immediately afterwards, Qingchen watched as the buildings in the city began to lose power and go out.
The city was plunged into darkness.
The power plant has vanished into thin air, rendering Qingchen's first strategy, which he had painstakingly devised, meaningless.
Chika Kamishiro's preparations were more thorough and faster than they had imagined.
The other party timed the traveler's journey and return perfectly, not wanting to wait even a minute longer.
...
...
at the same time.
Inside the border gate, a border control officer suddenly strode quickly toward the office area just as midnight approached.
He swiped his magnetic card to open the door to the office area, went inside, released the safety on his automatic rifle, and opened fire on all the staff inside with a magazine of bullets.
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed through the night.
The traitorous soldier, dragging the ankle of a man still barely clinging to life, calmly continued his infiltration deeper into the office area.
Other soldiers outside reacted and rushed into the house.
But as soon as they stepped into the office area, the soldier who had invaded the gate suddenly vanished like a ghost before everyone's eyes. A small shikigami darted around the room like a shadow, and in just a second, the throats of the three soldiers who rushed in were slit.
After killing someone, the shikigami quietly rested on the corpse, sucking the blood. Its claws and teeth were sharp, and its back was covered with a thick layer of iron armor.
Shikigami ATS-048, Tesso.
The soldier who invaded the gate was actually an Onmyoji!
The soldier dragged the man quickly to the innermost control room. He easily lifted the wounded man, who was barely alive, and put his eyes on the iris scanner outside the control room.
