Chapter 1249: Chapter 709: Magician Joker 2

Once their genetic potion is successfully developed, Qing Chen will definitely prioritize supplying it to the 300 members of the Shadow Special Forces.

By then, the Shadow Special Forces will become truly terrifying.

The second focus, nanorobots.

Qing Chen personally experienced nanorobots; when they form external armor, they’re much more useful than exoskeletons.

He once had nanorobots, but his Awakening of Thunder had destroyed all of them.

He had no way to use external armor; an electromagnetic pulse cannot selectively target anyone. Once used, it results in a massive area of AOE damage.

However, while he couldn’t use them, the Shadow Troop under his command could.

By then, 300 members of the A-Class Special Forces, equipped with external armor…

The thought alone is terrifying.

These two scientific fields are both war-oriented, prepared for the launch of war.

As for basic industry direction, Qing Chen decided to let scientists freely explore, then apply their new breakthroughs in the industrial field of City No. 10.

He empowered all the scientists, and Zheng Yuandong was also cautiously implementing the secret techniques to completion.

For this city, he had done everything he needed to do. Next, he was going to tread his own path.

On the very first day of return, Qing Chen disappeared in City No. 10, and no one knew where he went.

He also didn’t want anyone to know where he went.

Uncle Li once said that all Knights on the path of challenge must keep secrets.

Because the danger Knights face isn’t only life and death; there is also the human heart.

…

…

That night, in the seven cities controlled by the Qing’s Family, a peculiar management department suddenly appeared: the Immigration Management Bureau.

Previously, there were no such departments in the cities, but now there was.

What was more peculiar was that these Immigration Management Bureaus even set up service points in the bustling city centers, promoted like a supermarket sale, and used holographic neon for advertising.

In the holographic neon, Song Niannian said with a radiant smile, “City No. 10, full of opportunities…”

The residents of the cities under Qing’s control were dumbfounded. This Immigration Management Bureau wasn’t managing immigration, but helping everyone immigrate!

Someone curiously went to inquire and was told: if there was a willingness to immigrate, Qing’s Family could provide numerous civilian airships as transportation to send everyone to City No. 10.

The civilian airships were used for transporting goods and were no smaller than the A-Class Floating Ships, only slower and without weapon systems.

A civilian airship could carry more than two thousand people, much like a cargo ship.

On this night, Qing Chen’s actions seemed to have passed the first assessment of the one on Ginkgo Mountain, and Qing’s Family internally began to fully support City No. 10’s construction.

However, they were not meddling in City No. 10’s construction; instead, whatever Qing Chen needed, they provided.

In the Ginkgo Manor of City No. 5, a secret meeting was underway.

All faction leaders were present, and Qing Ji, who was temporarily filling in the role of Shadow until a new one was chosen, was hosting the meeting, leaving no room for others to oppose.

In the meeting room, Qing Ji read from a script monotone: “Qing Yun, if you pull off giving away family assets to outsiders again, the clan will fully audit and settle your business affairs. Qing Kun has done well, so now his business adjustments are as follows…”

Qing Ji read for quite a while, then quietly remarked, “Boring.”

He knew he wasn’t suited to be the Shadow. These power adjustments weren’t his idea; it was the elder’s intent, and he was just reading them out.

What the elder needed was just a spokesperson.

But this matter was genuinely boring.

If it were up to Qing Ji, he’d just deal with the disobedient ones by eliminating them all.

…

…

Countdown 160:00:00.

In the southern wilderness, Huan Yu woke up early in a house made of sand and stones and said to Zard, “Prepare to leave.”

Zard looked at him eagerly, “Do we really have to go? But I’m very happy here… Xiao Yu is also very happy.”

Even this guy knew whether he was happy or not. In Da Yu’s eyes, it didn’t matter much, so he emphasized that Xiao Yu was very happy.

Huan Yu hesitated for a moment, “If it were before, I would let you fools do as you please. But my mental state hasn’t stabilized, and Xiao Yu and I will switch frequently, which means that for the majority of the time, you’ll be the only one with combat ability. Under these circumstances, I can’t let Xiao Yu stay in such a dangerous place.”

“But it’s not dangerous here,” Zard said, “I really love it here; everyone is talented and pleasant to talk to…”

“No!” Huan Yu said coldly, “Those women eyeing Xiao Yu could be overlooked, but the Lian Tribe is an extremely unstable factor. What kind people are Corpse Drivers good at using voodoo? Xiao Yu wrote in her letter that they are not always in Xiuzhu State but have already established trade with here, which is inherently very dangerous.”

“Lian Tribe…” Zard hesitated for a moment, “Lian Tribe women are all beautiful ladies.”

Huan Yu sneered, “And the zombies beside them? Are the zombies also cute? Go! There can’t be anything good among the wilderness people, and Xiao Yu can’t make friends here.”

“Alright,” Zard said reluctantly.

The two walked out of the house.

As soon as they stepped outside, they encountered several uncles with kindly smiles, “Xiao Yu, you’re awake! I just picked some fruits and two eggs from my old hen for you this morning.”

Huan Yu gave them a glance, “No need.”

The uncles quickly said, “You helped us build houses before; these things must be accepted! You are such good people, you must eat more!”

With that, the uncle pressed eggs and fruits into Huan Yu’s hands and left.

Huan Yu quietly watched their backs, thinking to himself… good people? He never intended to be a good person in his life.

The two walked on, with countless people greeting them warmly and giving them things along the way.

It was only at that moment that Huan Yu realized the villagers here viewed Xiao Yu as a hero.

Someone asked, “Where are you going?”

Zard secretly glanced at Da Yu and then replied, “We’re leaving, departing from here.”

While speaking, his gaze kept darting onto Da Yu, hinting at the villagers: He’s the one who wants to leave, quickly persuade him! Persuade him not to go!

The villagers understood, rushing to stop Da Yu, and a young girl said pitifully, “Brother Xiao Yu, we don’t want you to leave.”

Da Yu was a bit toothache-inducing, if it were someone else blocking his path, it would’ve been fine, but he naturally had little resistance to cute kids and couldn’t just fight them?

He looked at Zard, only to see this guy winking at the villagers excessively.

Da Yu pulled Zard by the ear and walked away from the village, “Stop causing me trouble here, I’ve explained this to you a hundred times already, we must go!”

The villagers were stunned. Was this the Xiao Yu they knew? Why so aggressive…

Xiao Yu should be a very cute young man, polite, helpful, and curious.

However, the current ‘Xiao Yu’ was completely different.

They watched the two walk farther and farther, not knowing what to say.

Someone ran to find Yangyang, “Oh no, Xiao Yu left with Zard!”

Yangyang casually said, “We can’t stop them, let them go.”

…

…

A day later, Da Yu stopped by a small stream, looked at the sky, and said, “We have 200 kilometers left to the nearest city, then we can hire an airship to return to City No. 9. I’ve been out too long. I predict after waking up, Xiao Yu will be out, and he might cry. You need to persuade him, be reasonable with him, don’t lose your temper with him.”

“Okay,” Zard nodded vigorously.

Da Yu fell asleep.

Three days later, Da Yu awoke from his sleep, staring blankly at the dirt ceiling…

Logically, he should now be inside the airship, soon returning to City No. 9.

But why was he still in this ghostly place?

Everything in sight was the same as four days ago!

Damn it…he must be stuck in some loop, right?

Da Yu fumed, “Zard!!! Why did you bring me back!”
