Splitting Forces
Chen Ling guessed that he had most likely already run head-on into a batch of Calamities.
If this was the case...
Chen Ling's brain whirred rapidly. As if he had thought of sothing, he directly closed his eyes.
A Thought Storm brewed within his mind, as if desperately searching for sothing... A long while later, a few faint specks of light erged from the ends of his thoughts.
Fortunately... the Thought Storm could ignore spatial distance. Even though the Earth and the Gray World had not intersected yet, he could still transmit ssages to the other Nine Monarchs on Earth through the Thought Storm.
With a stir of his mind, Chen Ling's thoughts crossed the barrier of the worlds and arrived inside the camp at Shennongjia.
Inside the tent at this ti, everyone had a solemn expression.
They had all witnessed the scene of Chen Ling's disappearance just now, and they also knew that their disappearance was most likely related to this hat. At this mont, each and every one of them was vigilantly watching the hat, as if ready to strike at any mont.
"Director Chen has also disappeared... What do we do?"
"Wait," Yang Xiao replied without hesitation. "Trust Director Chen. He will definitely return."
The crowd nodded slightly. At the sa ti, a voice quietly rang out:
"I'm back."
"???"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice with bewildered faces. They only saw that figure draped in a Theatrical Robe with a red base and black patterns actually appear behind the door curtain again, currently looking at them with a solemn expression.
"No, isn't this a bit too fast?" Qi Muyun couldn't help but retort.
"It's only a stream of thought that I sent back. My main body is still in the Gray World."
"The Gray World... is the alternate world filled with danger and Calamities that you just ntioned?" Wen Ruoshui was sowhat surprised. "That hat can directly send people over? Is Ji Xuan also there?"
"That's right." Chen Ling nodded slightly.
"But the current situation is sowhat troubleso..."
"Director Chen, if there's anything we can help with, just ask," Su Zhiwei said seriously.
"Mm, there really is." Since Chen Ling chose to use his thoughts to return, it naturally wasn't just to report the situation to them. In the current situation, he needed the help of these few people.
His gaze fell directly on Wen Ruoshui in the corner.
"Doctor Wen, I need you to put on that hat and co help ."
Doctor Wen froze for a mont, then without hesitation, he directly nodded: "No problem!"
Finding and rescuing Ji Xuan in the vast Gray World was not an easy task... Moreover, perhaps by the ti they found Ji Xuan, the other party had already been killed. If so, then the only person who could rewrite the situation was Wen Ruoshui.
Not long ago, Wen Ruoshui could reverse a city destroyed by a natural disaster through his own ability. This heaven-defying ability couldn't be done even with a [Cut]. As long as Doctor Wen was around, they would have multiple opportunities for trial and error. Even if Ji Xuan had already died, they could start over again.
Of course, Chen Ling could have Doctor Wen activate his ability now, reverse the event, and stop Ji Xuan from being teleported to the Gray World before it happened... But Chen Ling didn't do so. He still chose to let Doctor Wen enter the Gray World together with him, and there was only one reason...
Chu Changqing was currently also still in the Gray World.
The opportunity to enter the Gray World ahead of ti was too rare, and Chu Changqing had already been taken away by the Calamity of Corruption for too long. Chen Ling wanted to seize this opportunity to not only save Ji Xuan but also bring Chu Changqing back from the Bitter Flesh Forest.
Perhaps this was also the reason why Mo Yao's letter wrote "Go find Ji Xuan" instead of "Go save Ji Xuan".
Mo Yao wanted him to seize the opportunity and use that hat to enter the Gray World!
Having figured this out, Chen Ling's goal was actually very clear. Wen Ruoshui was a necessary aid for Chen Ling. Besides him, after pondering for a mont, Chen Ling added another sentence:
"Wu Tongyuan, you co together too... Also, Qi Muyun."
Wu Tongyuan and Qi Muyun's Combat Power wasn't considered high, but their abilities were both very special. At necessary monts, they might be able to exert unexpected effects... Apart from this, Chen Ling also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether these two truly had no weaknesses.
Qi Muyun readily agreed. Wu Tongyuan hesitated for a mont and seed sowhat afraid... But thinking of the Oath they had just made, he gritted his teeth:
"Okay!"
Wen Ruoshui was the first to step forward, put on the hat, and instantly disappear... followed by Qi Muyun and Wu Tongyuan.
"Director Chen, we can help too." Yang Xiao and Su Zhiwei both looked at Chen Ling.
"No... you guys don't need to co over. You have a more important task." Chen Ling's gaze was extrely serious. "That hat is a one-way channel. That is to say, we can go to the Gray World, but there is no 'door' to co back... I need you guys to think of a way to open a 'door'."
"Open a 'door'..." Yang Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. "But... but we don't have a way to establish a connection with the Gray World at all, right?"
"There is." Su Zhiwei suddenly looked up, her gaze as bright as a torch.
"Wushan Town!!"
Being reminded by Su Zhiwei, Yang Xiao also rembered. Back at Wushan Town, that missile dropped carrying an Extra-dinsional Wake briefly opened a channel connecting to the Bitter Flesh Forest... That was also the closest humanity had currently been to the Bitter Flesh Forest.
"Currently, the residents of Wushan Town have all been evacuated to the base. We can completely replicate the scenario from that ti and open the channel to the Bitter Flesh Forest! And receive Director Chen and the others to return."
"That's right, this is the optimal plan." Chen Ling nodded.
Although Chen Ling still wanted to instruct them a bit more, the situation over at the Gray World was truly a race against ti and death. He had to imdiately go save Ji Xuan. And he also believed that although recreating the Wushan Town explosion would be very difficult, with Yang Xiao and Su Zhiwei's wisdom and abilities, plus Lu Xun, they should be able to accomplish it.
"I'm going to save Ji Xuan first. On the Gray World side, I can lead them to hold out for 24 hours at most... I'll leave the Earth side to you guys."
After Chen Ling solemnly left behind a sentence, his stream of thought dissipated into thin air, having already returned to the Gray World.
The originally leisurely and relaxed camp atmosphere had already beco incomparably tense at this ti. Although Su Zhiwei and Yang Xiao had a general direction, they still felt sowhat uncertain in their hearts...
"Only 24 hours... ti is too tight," Su Zhiwei said in a deep voice. "This ti, we must have the assistance of national power."
"That's right. But wasn't that Extra-dinsional Wake missile developed and used by foreign countries? Would we have it?"
"We can probably only know this point after getting in touch with the higher-ups... Perhaps our country has also developed this technology? This can be left to Lu Xun; he has the closest relationship with the higher-ups." Su Zhiwei paused for a mont. "If we don't have this kind of missile..."
"If we don't, then I'll carve a bloody path all the way to the West and snatch one back!"
Yang Xiao replied decisively.
