Chapter 36 Chapter 36 (2/2)

Ji Yushi pushed the cart back, “How does it feel to be smaller?”

There was evident stubbornness written on Song Qinglan’s back, “Compared to turning smaller, I feel that I am more willing to fight against zombies. Even those giant spiders are acceptable.”

Ji Yushi, “For children like Cap Song, the teachers must’ve had a lot of trouble.”

“That’s true, I really wasn’t very obedient as a child.” Song Qinglan admitted very quickly. He then looked back at Ji Yushi and wondered, “Is it that obvious?”

How did Advisor Ji know?

As they spoke, there was a loud noise which sounded like it came from right next to them.

Something had been sucked over to the mountain of garbage again.

The two immediately turned around to go to the mountain of garbage. This time they picked up their two long overdue teammates, Tang Qi and Tang Le.

While they were contemplating over how they should bring them back, Li Chun arrived with Zhou Mingxuan in tow, “Cap Song! Advisor Ji!”

Zhou Mingxuan who had just woken up was in pretty good spirits. Seeing Song Qinglan in the cart, his small eyes widened, “R-really turned smaller?!”

Before Song Qinglan could speak, Zhou Mingxuan pinched his face, “Fuck! Actually a little cute!”

Song Qinglan, “………”

Would it be too late to jump down and give Zhou Mingxuan a kick?

Zhou Mingxuan immediately revealed his mischievous side. Whilst carrying Tang Le in one arm, he took photos with his communicator with the other hand, “Saved! In the case of Cap Song being unable to change back, we will need to start recording Cap Song’s growth!”

Ji Yushi couldn’t bear to remind him that saving it was useless. In any case, it would all be gone.

Tang Le’s head was hanging down. His stomach was pressed onto Zhou Mingxuan’s shoulder, making him want to vomit. When he opened his eyes, he was almost shocked silly, “?”.

Only Tang Qi was unconscious. One could only imagine what his reaction would be if he saw his captain’s current appearance.

This was simply a large-scale execution scene for Song Qinglan. Looking at his expression, it was very likely that he had cursed a hundred times inside.

The six members of the seventh squad had gathered, there was only Duan Wen left.

Seeing there were now so many people gathered in the space capsule, Big Beard immediately gathered the cans up in his arms, leaving none to be touched. This was especially so for Xie Sian, he shouldn’t even dream about getting a single can from Big Beard.

Everyone had their own thoughts after listening to Ji Yushi’s analysis.

Xie Sian asked, “Advisor Ji, according to your analysis, if this crevice is repaired and everyone returns to the moment before we were sucked in, would my teammates also come back?”

This was a question Song Qinglan and Ji Yushi had discussed before. He nodded and said, “In theory, that should be the case.”

Xie Sian was a scout in the twelfth squad.

He was also very keen in this aspect, “Then wouldn’t that produce many paradoxes?”

Li Chun would now get a headache whenever the word paradox was mentioned. He only wanted to hear the result and didn’t want to participate in the discussion process.

Fortunately, Zhou Mingxuan asked for him, “What paradox?

Xie Sian said, “For example, after ‘A’ was sucked in, the era he was in continued to move forward and everything that happened afterwards had nothing to do with him. With the crevice in time repaired, everything would be restored to its original condition and ‘A’ would return to his original time so everything that happens afterwards would be rewritten. If that were the case, where would everything that has already happened go? This is the paradox.”

Tang Qi and Tang Le had both woken up.

Tang Le leaned against his older brother’s shoulder. Since the twins looked exactly the same, Big Beard continued to look at them in attempt to tell who was who.

Tang Le said, “I know the answer to this. Infinite covering.”

Just like how the seventh quad had extended one point of the circle infinitely to cover the other points in their previous mission.

They were already very familiar with something like this.

Xie Sian came from fifteen years ago. At that time, the knowledge gained from the Tianqiong system and the Time Administration Team was still very limited. It was still a time where all this knowledge was rather new, so he was a little puzzled when he heard Tang Le’s statement.

“Everything related to ‘A’ would be covered over with his return and everything that has happened until now in his era would be rewritten.”

A child’s voice sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw Song Qinglan eating from a can of canned fruit.

Big Beard, “???”

But he had hidden them all?

“Here’s a simple example. For example, after ‘A’ disappeared and was regarded as missing, his family received some monetary compensation which in turn helped them with treating a serious illness, but because of his return, his family loses such an opportunity and their fate was rewritten, resulting in the seriously ill family member to pass away.” Song Qinglan may be small but he was strong. As he said this, he opened another can of spam and handed it to Ji Yushi.

Ji Yushi: “………”

Song Qinglan sat on the sofa with one leg bent and the other leg hanging in the air because it couldn’t reach the floor. He continued, “There is also another possibility. Because of their return, a new timeline is created while the old one continues as per usual. These two timelines would run parallel to each other.

Parallel worlds.

Xie Sian immediately understood.

In that case, would it really be considered as returning to their own world?

He was lost in thought.

Ji Yushi lowered his head and looked down at the can. He gave it back to Song Qinglan, “Cap Song, I heard that children will grow taller if they eat more meat.”

Song Qinglan, “I’ve almost eaten my fill now.”

Big Beard watched the two push the can back and forth, “Suowulalawu.”

Everyone thought Big Beard was cursing again and was unhappy that they were eating his canned food but unexpectedly, Big Beard instead took out another can and gave it to Ji Yushi while saying a few more things. He turned out to be getting them to have one each.

Song Qinglan was curious. He supported his chin and asked leisurely, “Advisor Ji, what is he saying?”

“Actually, I also didn’t understand. It’s probably an endangered language.”

Ji Yushi placed down the can of spam meat and showed no intentions to eat. He changed the topic again and said, “We didn’t have much time and his language is also very complicated so there are still a lot of words I am not familiar with. I’m just wondering how I should explain to Big Beard what he will face next.”

Ji Yushi was already very amazing.

Li Chun and Big Beard had been together for the longest time, but he only understood one line: Anfalahagenhe.

It was equivalent to short insulting words like bastard, motherfucker and dogshit.

Ji Yushi said, “Their PU-18 was destroyed before PU-31. Ten years ago, their team had launched the space capsule in attempt to go to a new colony. If everything were to be restored, they would return to that time and it is still unknown whether their original destination still exists.”

Ji Yushi sat on the carpet in front of the sofa. He was clearly talking about another person’s matter, but the tips of his ears hidden under his black hair were red.

The little Song Qinglan sitting behind him was at a low angle so he just happened to spot it. He subconsciously reached out and touched it with his finger.

Hot.

Ji Yushi turned back, “?”

Perhaps it was because he was currently in a child’s body, Ji Yushi at this moment couldn’t decipher Song Qinglan’s expression.

At this moment, he heard Xie Sian say, “Maybe it doesn’t matter where you are going. What matters most is that there is a chance to see your teammates again.”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xie Sian spoke with more confidence, “Whether it is good or bad, at least they were given a chance to live.”

Time was the only proof that everything existed.

If one could have that time again, they could again exist in this world.

“Boom—–”

There was a loud noise.

White light flashed outside the small window and the space capsule shook slightly.

When the shaking eased off, Song Qinglan raised the corners of his lips. His tender voice also carried the tone he would usually have when he was an adult, “Hearing that commotion, it sounds very much like Old Duan. Everyone should eat and rest well. The mission has now officially changed from planting flowers to weeding. Soon, we will start working on this special mission assigned by Tianqiong.”
