Chapter 37 Chapter 37 (2/2)

The sea extended endlessly as it hung upside down in the sky. The water as clear.

It was so close that everyone could see the ripples on the surface as the sea breeze passed by.

Suddenly, a beluga whale emerged from the sea. It stayed on the surface for a short while and then dove back down.

When it did this, water splashed, and cold water rained onto everyone’s faces.

This scene was too shocking and much more spectacular than the silver star from before.

Everyone was at loss for words. They found themselves unable to express their feelings at this moment in time.

“There was a new refraction in time and space.” Ji Yushi said, “It must be related to us destroying those lights.”

“Then should we continue?” Li Chun asked, “Would it refract and refract and then end up causing some of us to disappear?”

One should know that this kind of refraction wasn’t just a visual refraction. It also included the involvement of time and space.

In other words, the area they are in right now had not only undergone a visual change, but there was also a change in the flow of time. It was just that they were amidst it all, so they didn’t sense it themselves.

Everyone unanimously looked at Song Qinglan.

Song Qinglan’s small face was firm. He uttered a command with a frown, “Continue.”

With this order, no one paid attention to the gunfire.

They knew that, just like their last [Ouroboros] mission, as long as they completed it, everything would return to normal —– These two missions were surprisingly similar. Once fired, an arrow does not turn back. They must continue advancing forward.

Ji Yushi raised his head and said something to Big Beard.

Big Beard knocked against his left chest with one hand, let out a loud shout and then overturned a large piece of wreckage in front of everyone.

Although he was injured, he couldn’t care less about it at this time. Enduring the pain, he was as powerful as an ox and was practically a walking excavator.

Everyone started working. The six of them very quickly managed to collect one-fifth of the vines there and destroyed them.

“Bang, bang, bang!!”

A few consecutive gunshots fired. Zhou Mingxuan’s reactions were fast, and he quickly pulled Ji Yushi aside.

Bullets flew through the air.

One, two, three, four. A total of four of them appeared at a very slow speed and then it slowly passed through a mechanical board ahead, emitting sparks and then falling to the ground.

Everyone immediately realised that the time flow in their area had slowed down!

They looked back.

They saw seven or eight unfamiliar faces in the darkness outside the area with the sea. They were wearing clothes from an unknown era. They were clearly traversers from another time.

Having cleared an area of lights, those refracted spaces had disappeared, and these people must have been released from those places. But why were they shooting at strangers?

“Bang!”

Another bullet penetrated this area.

It started at a normal speed and, when it entered the area where time was several times slower, it slowed down significantly. It was destined to never hit the target.

Zhou Mingxuan raised his laser gun and similarly fired a shot. Unfortunately, the opponent was able to easily recognise its trajectory and avoided without any difficulty.

Alright. It was a situation where no one could hit anyone.

That group of people charged into the area.

Li Chun, “Dammit, are these people intending on killing us?”

At this moment, a new pile of vines was burned to ashes.

In an instant, the sea overhead was gone. Replacing it were snow capped mountains that suddenly rose from the sides.

The mountain peaks were sharp and angular and when the tallest peak appeared, it just happened to knock into the group of people rushing in, throwing them into an unknown direction.

Hearing those screams, the people standing amidst the mountains, “……”

Could this be referred to as self-inflicted harm?

Song Qinglan found a fish who had slipped through the net. That person who had just managed to charge in was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

He walked over, raised Shen Mian with his thin arms, and pressed it against the other party’s forehead, “What did you want?”

The other party was severely injured. Before he breathed his last breath, he said in heavily accented English, “Escape capsule…….”

He couldn’t finish his words. He had died with his eyes open.

Escape capsule?

The snow was cold and wind howled around them. Snow gathered on everyone’s shoulders from time to time.

This person’s words were spoken without context. They didn’t have the time to think about it so they could only get back to clearing out the vines.

Facing a huge satellite part, everyone was troubled. It laid on top of a pile of other mechanical wreckage and it was hard to tell if there were any flowers underneath it. But who could move this giant thing?

Song Qinglan had already taken off the cotton-padded clothes he had wrapped around him. His small figure stood in front of the satellite, “I can crawl into the gap.”

Zhou Mingxuan, “Cap Song!”

Everyone looked at him. They felt like they were abusing a child.

Song Qinglan removed his short boots, revealing his worn feet. He didn’t show any concern about it, “Stop talking nonsense. Who will go if I don’t go?”

After saying that, he threw aside a broken off hatch and crawled into a gap.

Even if they were worried, everyone could only continue working hard.

Ji Yushi’s palm was bleeding from a cut he had incurred while moving a wreckage aside. From time to time, he would raise his head and look over at the place Song Qinglan entered.

He had also taken off his cotton-padded clothes and he wiped away a thin layer of sweat. When he looked up for the third time, he finally saw Song Qinglan’s figure emerge.

There were a lot of vines wrapped around him and his small face was black, like he had just dug up coal. Only a pair of eyes showed spirit belonging to an adult.

Duan Wen was a step ahead of Ji Yushi. He pulled the small captain out.

Song Qinglan let him clean him up, “Hope there are no more gaps to crawl……Hey, stop. Lightly. I’m still a fucking child!!”

Duan Wen repeatedly promised, “I know, I know.”

Ji Yushi: “……..”

Big Beard picked up all the newly pulled out vines. The glowing flowers made him look like a giant Christmas tree.

He set the new pile on fire.

The surroundings instantly went dark. In the dimness, someone asked, “There’s only one last group left. Why hasn’t Tang Le and the others come yet?”

Just as that person finished asking that, a dozen or so skeletons appeared not far from the mountain of garbage where there was still a small ring of lights remaining.

No, to be more precise, it was a dozen or so human skeletons heading their way.

The flesh on their bodies were restoring rapidly. From organs to muscles to skin, hair and eyes, they gradually returned to their original living appearance…..They were humans being resurrected.

Among them, three were young men wearing black combat uniforms with a 12 on their chest. It was their seniors from the twelfth squad.

Ji Yushi understood. The rainforest had disappeared. These people came from that rainforest.

The vines Big Beard set on fire turned to ashes.

The snow-capped mountains on the side suddenly disappeared. What appeared now was a city.

Left, right, front and back. Except for the soil and garbage under their feet, this place had become a 360-degree mirror projection.

For a moment, everyone felt like they had entered a kaleidoscope.

“Rumble——”

After the rumble of thunder, lighting flashed, and heavy rain poured down.

Everyone was soaked.

Big Beard suddenly yelled, “Mogulakandaqiongwiqimuhe!!”

Among those people, some of Big Beard’s teammates had returned.

The people from PU-18 held each other and cried.

The three seniors from the twelfth squad came over. The leading one asked, “You’re from Tianqiong?”

The other asked, “Why is there also a child?”

Song Qinglan: “…….”

The thunder rumbled.

“Yes.”

Ji Yushi’s whole body was soaked. His black hair was brushed back, revealing his smooth forehead.

He didn’t explain much and just said, “We are here to save you.”

Having met in another world and having died after spending who knows how long in the rainforest, the people who had just come back to life had a hard time trusting anyone.

Everyone increased their vigilance. The people who had shot at them just now were a good example. But they also came from Tianqiong so they didn’t want to end up in a fight.

Ji Yushi remembered something and took out a compass he had picked up in the rainforest, “I picked this up from one of you. Now returning it to the owner.”

The leading person received it and then handed it to his teammate. The teammate confirmed, “Cap Qi, this is Xie Sian’s!”

Rain slid down Cap Qi’s jawline. His eyes were cold, “That traitor…..where is he?”

At this moment, amidst the thunder, someone was yelling, “Cap Song!!”

Everyone turned their heads.

They saw Tang Le coming over with Xie Sian bound up, and the bloody person on his back was the unconscious Tang Qi.

Coming with them were also twenty or thirty unfamiliar faces. All of them were traversers who had been released from the different refracted worlds. They were dressed in different clothes and all looked very different.

Xie Sian’s face was pale. There was blood on his forehead.

Seeing his teammates alive again, Xie Sian looked like a ghost in the heavy rain.

This crevice had inadvertently become a gathering point for the traversers.

Tang Le brought Xie Sian in front of everyone and kicked him to the ground, “This grandson tried to stab us in the back. He never had the intention to repair this crevice in the first place!”

Li Chun and Zhou Mingxuan took Tang Qi off his back.

Ji Yushi bent down and examined him. Tang Qi was still affected by the acceleration. It was so fast, even the twitching of his eyelids and the rise and falls of his chest couldn’t be seen clearly.

Xie Sian who was lying on the ground laughed.

That laugh was strange and a little crazed. As soon as he got up, something cold and hard was pressed against his forehead.

His captain, Cap Qi, was looking down at him from above.

Xie Sian wasn’t afraid, “Did you think that you would succeed after eradicating this last group of flowers? Let me tell you, you will not succeed. I have carefully hidden the last one away. If you want to know where it is, let that Big Beard use his escape capsule to exchange for it.”

Escape capsule?

Song Qinglan narrowed his eyes. He seemed to understand where those people earlier who shot at them came from.

This Xi Sian……cannot be underestimated.

Ji Yushi stood up. He asked coldly, “What escape capsule?”

“Advisor Ji, you are very clever and can communicate with Big Beard without any trouble.” Xie Sian said, “Why? Did that good friend of yours not tell you that there is an escape capsule in good working condition in that space capsule?”
