Chapter 1141: Chapter 675: Taking Command
Once a disaster truly breaks out, among the 1,358 children, whose strength and endurance are at most one-third of an adult’s, just a tenth surviving would be considered good.
Some children, with reddened eyes, said, "Thank you, seniors!"
Someone in the square laughed and said, "Thank what? We’re certainly not going to compete with kids for resources. Dean, give the kids priority for two capsules each; the remaining can be prioritized for junior Time Travelers. Anyway, we’ve been training in the academy recently, so our physical capabilities aren’t bad."
At this moment, everyone realized just how important the academy’s encouragement of exercise was when faced with disaster.
"Let’s have a vote, raise your hand if you agree to give Immortality to these juniors first!"
With a rustling sound, a cloud of Time Travelers in the square raised their hands.
Zheng Yuandong silently watched this scene.
Perhaps, this was the true purpose of him establishing the Time Traveler’s Academy.
At this moment, Qing Chen also came to the large sand table model, not concerning himself with the distribution of Immortality, but calmly said, "All captains and vice-captains step forward; tonight, I will plan a second route for you."
"A second route?" Xiao Ying asked in confusion, "What’s it for? Does it mean last night’s route is to be scrapped?"
"Not scrapped, the second is just a backup," Qing Chen said as he pointed to Chen Zhuoqu: "If you find yourselves unable to smoothly evacuate from the southern border gateway, I need you to immediately proceed east along Central State Avenue, and once you reach Sub-district 3, immediately look for the Federation; there, someone will be waiting to assist you... I want you to entirely obey their instructions, hide under their arrangements, and even assist them in combat."
Suddenly, the Time Travelers were in a bit of a panic.
Earlier, everyone thought that as long as the route was memorized, there would be a complete chance to leave City 10 before things got worse.
After all, prior to the return, City 10 was still normal, and among the 4,811 Time Travelers, only 16 had died, indicating that the real threat wasn’t near yet.
But now it seems, things aren’t that simple!
The crisis that Qing Chen was concerned about made them realize one thing:
They might very well not be able to escape!
"Dean..." a timid girl asked, "Will we not be able to leave?"
"I don’t know; I’m just preparing for the worst. Some things I can’t confirm yet, but it’s not that simple," Qing Chen replied.
Zheng Yuandong, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I understand what you’re thinking. Since this disaster is meticulously planned by the demigod Jindai Chika, and since he most likely has the taboo ACE-22 Queen Ant in hand, the disaster’s largest gain for him would be having all the residents die in the city, to feed the mouse tide."
Qing Chen was taken aback as he glanced at Boss Zheng; in the entire Time Traveler’s Academy, only this Boss Zheng could still keep up with his thought process.
That’s right, this was the conclusion Qing Chen arrived at after six hours of contemplation.
He set a question for himself, and then came to a very frightening answer: If he were Jindai Chika, he would certainly find a way to have all the city residents die within the city.
The opponent chose the time of the Boxing King finale and the Qinghe campus recruitment, which were inherently the times when City 10 had the most people.
Why do this?
Jindai Chika, the uncontained demigod body, taboo ACE-22 Queen Ant, when these scattered clues were linked together, Qing Chen already understood.
First, discussing Jindai Chika, the cunning demigod.
In this process, only taboo ACE-039 Beyond the Three Worlds can help Jindai Chika evade the verdict of the contraindicated courts, otherwise, the corpse would have long been contained by the contraindicated courts.
This also proves that Jindai Chika has been plotting for a long time.
This demigod, nearing the end of his life, urgently needed a neuron connection takeover to extend his life, yet he still participated in that extremely dangerous century battle.
How could someone who survived two centuries through body takeover suddenly become reckless, leading to a sudden death?
That doesn’t make sense, and it isn’t logical.
Qing Chen, therefore, speculates that Jindai Chika must still be alive!
Qing Chen speculated that, before the battle, the opponent had already chosen the takeover target and began planning to use his corpse to make a play.
The opponent, after feigning death and escaping, used his corpse to feed the mouse tide, which was the real plan.
Then, since Qing Chen determined that Jindai Chika was not dead, he went on to consider Jindai Chika’s circumstances: If the opponent had already successfully taken over another body, then right now would be his weakest moment.
Jindai Chika was already at odds with the Jindai Family Master, so after taking over, he must use extreme methods to protect himself after being downgraded.
Otherwise, if the Jindai Family Master found an opportunity, he would truly be beyond redemption.
Therefore, the means Jindai Chika uses to protect himself certainly isn’t immediately cultivating, as even if he worked extremely hard, returning to demigod status would take a long time.
Jindai Chika can’t wait that long, nor will the Jindai Family Master take so long to discover anything amiss.
Jindai Chika’s time is extremely pressing.
So, creating the world’s largest mouse tide, and then controlling it with the taboo ACE-022 Queen Ant, would be enough for him to stand firm again.
That mouse tide would be enough to destroy a city, a force more terrifying than a demigod.
The taboo ACE-22 Queen Ant can make all social creatures regard the host as the master of their group, including but not limited to mice, lions, hyenas, ants, bees, termites, etc.
