Chapter 537: 338. Person knocking on the door at midnight_2
Hmm?!
We are at least 8 kilometers away from the National Treasure Garden Villa District. How long will it take to push it back?
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a taxi back, and have Luo Wanya's men transport it back tomorrow.
When they got back to the villa, it was around 1 a.m.
The three quietly returned to the villa, only to discover upon opening the door that everyone was waiting for them, having not slept at all.
Nan Gengchen's expression seemed a bit unnatural, "Everyone hasn't slept yet?"
XiaoTongyun, leaning on the living room window, asked, "Hey, where are your e-bikes? Didn't you ride out on three of them?"
Qing Chen: "... There was a minor issue, don't worry about such a trivial matter."
Jiang Xue nodded, "Mmh, it's good that you all are fine."
"Take a look at He Xiaoxiao's group chat," Zhang Tianzhen said. "It seems a lot has happened tonight."
Qing Chen glanced at his phone, and in He Xiaoxiao's group chat, the host He Xiaoxiao was uncharacteristically starting to actively report on the progress of the battles.
It was known that He Xiaoxiao had kept a low profile for a long time, only occasionally popping up to say a few words.
He Xiaoxiao: "Kyushu Organization successfully ambushed Jindai and Deer Island Time Travellers at the junction of Baiyun Mountain and Yangzi Gully in the south."
He Xiaoxiao: "Kunlun Organization successfully ambushed Jindai and Deer Island Time Travellers downstream of the Xiaolangdi Dam."
He Xiaoxiao: "Zheng Yuandong successfully ambushed a B-Class Expert from the Jindai Consortium, the Inner World consortium may have found a way to travel through time retroactively in the Outer World. All group chat members, please be cautious."
Qing Chen was startled when he saw this message.
Travel through time retroactively in the Outer World? How did the consortium achieve that!?
However, before Qing Chen had time to think, he received a text from Zheng Yuandong, which detailed every aspect of how Jindai members were covertly utilizing retroactive time travel.
Qing Chen thought to himself, is Kunlun sharing intelligence with Daylight so openly? So selflessly?
He texted, "Why are you giving me such important intelligence?"
Zheng Yuandong replied, "You are a Kunlun member, have you forgotten?"
Qing Chen: "Right, yeah…"
The reply made sense, logically and factually.
At that moment, in the group chat, He Xiaoxiao continued, "The battle just concluded at the intersection of Royal City Avenue and the 103 National Highway. The Daylight boss killed a B-Class Expert from Deer Island with a sniper rifle, and currently, a master of illusions remains at large."
This report did not mention anything about the menacing aspects of He Jinqiu's Sword Arrow, focusing all attention on Qing Chen as if trying to overshadow the true strength of He Jinqiu.
However, just as this message was reported and before everyone could discuss it, Lu Ya suddenly sent a message: "Quick, check out Weibo's trending searches!"
Qing Chen quickly opened Weibo; the first update: A suspected large-scale Time Traveller battle erupted in the Island Country Capital, identities of the fighting parties are still unclear. The battle involved hundreds of participants and destroyed three city blocks, causing blazing fires across the Island Country Capital.
Insiders reveal B-Class Experts appeared in the Island Country Capital; these people allegedly used Korea as a stepping stone, having smuggled themselves into the Island Country and lain low until suddenly springing into action.
As of now, the battle has not yet ended, and both parties continue their deadly pursuit in the Island Country Capital.
No sooner had Qing Chen finished reading the first post, another trending search rocketed up: A massive Time Traveller battle also broke out in "Yeol City" of Korea; the whole street of Hyoja-dong in Yeol City was destroyed, and the battle has not ended yet.
Time Travellers from Korea stated that the battle's other party is suspected to have smuggled themselves in from Changbai Mountain.
Even the usually composed Qing Chen felt a massive shock upon reading these two trending searches.
"I finally understand why there have been such major incidents domestically, yet the Li Clan and Qing Clan have remained quiet. Simultaneously launching cross-border surprise attacks on Time Traveller headquarters in Korea and the Island Country, this is definitely not something one consortium can do alone—the Li Clan and Qing Clan must have joined forces," Qing Chen said.
With incomplete intelligence information, Qing Chen could only speculate it was the doing of the Li and Qing Clans, as besides them, no one else could pull off such a feat.
This matter was too unexpected.
It seemed just as Jindai and Deer Island were carrying out their retroactive time travel plans, the Li and Qing Clans were also planning everything.
The other parties had infiltrated Korea and the Island Country early, searching for potential replacements while preparing for a major battle.
Of course, if Jindai and Deer Island could recruit Time Travellers domestically, the Li and Qing Clans definitely could as well.
This time, the reason the Li Clan didn't appear was likely because most of their main force was already embedded abroad, hence they were unable to return in time.
If they were to return, their previous efforts would be all in vain.
Thus, instead of returning to defend, it was better to make a big move abroad and strike back in retaliation.
This time, neither Kyushu nor Kunlun disappointed, so had the Li and Qing Clans completed their retroactive time travel plans?
From the Jindai and Deer Island families, which prominent figures had been replaced?
As this countdown to return comes to an end, probably many consortium bigwigs will urgently administer Genetic Potions to take precautions, sterilization or not, that can't be helped now.
Beyond this, Qing Chen had once asked the elder why not administer Genetic Potions to all family members.
The Li Clan was capable of producing Genetic Potions themselves; the production of Sequence 005 Genetic Potion was high, covering the core members of the Li Clan shouldn't be a problem.
Plus, issues like sterilization could be resolved too, with sperm freezing and egg freezing being viable options.
