Chapter 1143: Chapter 676: The City That Was Extinguished
"99 teams, all captains and vice-captains must record the route daily in front of the sand table during the remaining time, and each choose a team member as their substitute. If the captain dies, the vice-captain takes over, if the vice-captain dies, the substitute takes over," Qing Chen’s cold voice echoed in the midnight square of Whale Island.
Qing Chen: "Remember, from the moment you cross over, your life no longer belongs to you. Your only task is to procure the supplies I specified with your teammates, and then leave City 10 alive together, or reach the lower third district. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the Time Travelers responded.
Qing Chen nodded: "When this disaster is over, you will have truly grown up. I hope that next time you return... I can still see you standing here."
To be honest, when Qing Chen said this, he felt a pang of pain. He knew very well what would happen in the following week of crossing.
If things turned out as bad as he expected, there wouldn’t be many able to return alive...
At this moment, before leaving the square, Chen Zhuoqu suddenly spoke to many of the Time Travelers in the crowd: "There are probably quite a few among us who, like me, have attempted to challenge the sheer cliffs but backed off. Now, although the 48-hour time for the second stage has passed, and you can only challenge the third or fourth cliff, I want to say that it’s never too late in life to strive."
Chen Zhuoqu: "This matter may not reward you right now, but you must understand after going through the helplessness of life and death, the crisis we face this time will surely be encountered again in the future. The challenge you can’t complete this return, maybe you can in the next, if not next time then the time after, and if not that time, then the time after that."
Hu Jingyi said nearby: "Yeah, even someone like me is still persisting. Surely you won’t be worse than me, so instead of waiting here for the time to cross, you might as well give it a try, at least it’s a way to exercise."
Xiao Qi laughed cheerfully: "Well said."
Qing Chen silently watched this scene, realizing that Chen Zhuoqu’s growth was faster than he had imagined.
In the future, perhaps she will become someone who stands out among the Knights.
...
...
In the Agricultural College, the work was bustling like a raging fire.
Sun Chu Ci and others were busy planting the Immortality fruit, while Xiao Yu resumed his old trade, donning an apron and tossing the wok to fry tea.
Originally, Qing Chen didn’t intend to keep planting Immortality, after all, the Time Travelers of the academy would one day reach their limits in consuming it, and it would no longer be valued.
But circumstances changed drastically, and he had no choice but to plant it.
In the limited time, the best result was that before the crossing, each of the 1,358 children under 12 would receive two fruits, followed by a quota for the girls among the junior high Time Travelers, each receiving one.
This was the limit of the Agricultural College.
Another unexpected event occurred, over a hundred Time Travelers who had previously given up returned again before the nine sheer cliffs.
They were pressured by the crisis, infected by the atmosphere; everyone wanted to survive, and at the brink of life and death, they realized the importance of strength and that if their lives didn’t change now, they might never have another chance.
However, they conscientiously avoided occupying the third cliff, which had been conquered by others, and went directly to the fourth and fifth cliffs for training.
These returning challengers no longer hoped for rewards from each level; their goal was the final cliff.
Qing Chen had underestimated some of the cowards.
It turned out that in the face of a huge crisis, some former cowards could also become brave again.
A Time Traveler asked Qing Chen if there was a time limit for challenging the final cliff.
Qing Chen told them, there is no time limit for the final cliff, you can strive for a year, or for a lifetime, as long as you climb over that mountain, there will be a new life.
He watched those challengers train again and again and suddenly felt the numbers he had discussed with the old folks were too conservative.
On the morning of the third day of return.
The Time Travelers from the Academy who were not from City 10 were finally unsealed.
They already knew what had happened, running to and fro, cheering on those Time Travelers from City 10.
In the Academy forum APP, countless posts were made cheering and shouting for them.
Many Time Travelers contacted the academy, claiming to be Genetic Warriors or Cultivators, saying that although they were not in City 10, they could immediately head to City 10 to help.
Jiu Ran from the Red leaves organization also reached out to the academy, saying that the Time Travelers of the Red leaves organization were the closest to City 10, and they could rush over and provide support outside the city.
But Zheng Yuandong refused them all.
Because any radical, collective actions risked exposing the identity of the Time Travelers to the consortium, which would lead to even worse consequences.
The sentiment was understood.
Zheng Yuandong said to Lu Yuan: "The Chinese Nation is like this, maybe it looks loose at ordinary times, but once difficulties and disasters strike, everyone always comes together to overcome challenges. It’s been this way a thousand years ago, and it remains the same a thousand years later. United Will is a gene and spirit engraved in everyone."
Amid the hustle and bustle of the Time Travelers.
Luo Wanya landed on the island.
Alongside came 132 family members.
They strode across the academy with giant steps, and Xiao San admired the Whale Island Academy: "Wow, this place is so beautiful. If I had been able to study in such a place back then, I wouldn’t have had to struggle in society?"
