Chapter 124 Space-Time Storm
August 9, Saturday.
Wild settlement.
The leader of the settlement, Korhan, stood under the old space-time barrier, looking at the sky in the distance with worry.
An elder of the settlement said: "Recent space-time activities seem to be getting more and more frequent, which is a bit abnormal. Should we consider moving away?"
Korhan asked: "What is the situation of the space-time forecast? Does it say that there will be large-scale space-time activities near Dawn City recently?"
The elder shook his head, "No, the space-time forecast still says that the current situation is normal. Although there will be some small space-time activities occasionally, there will be no space-time storms or other extreme space-time activities."
Korhan frowned, and seemed to have difficulty making up his mind.
For him, as the leader of the settlement, of course, he must be responsible for the safety of the entire settlement. Once extreme space-time activities occur, such as space-time storms or space-time beast tides, the entire settlement may be completely destroyed in the wilderness. Such tragedies have happened in the wilderness more than once or twice, and now the surviving settlements have all escaped death.
Korhan has noticed that the space-time activities during this period are somewhat abnormal, and it seems that a new round of frequent space-time activities has entered. At this time, the safest way for the settlement is to move the entire settlement to the vicinity of the satellite city. Once an extreme situation occurs, you can also seek emergency refuge in the satellite city or Dawn City.
It doesn’t matter how much loss you suffer, as long as you can save people, there will always be a chance to make a comeback.
But the problem is that the recent space-time activities have caused a significant increase in space-time crystals in the wilderness, and it is difficult for Korhan to see clues from these space-time activities, and it is impossible to judge how intense the upcoming space-time activities will be in the future.
According to the space-time forecast, the current situation is normal, and there will be no space-time storms or other extreme space-time activities. If Korhan really moves the entire settlement away, then the advantageous position here will inevitably be occupied by other settlements.
What’s more, after moving away, what should we do if extreme space-time activities are delayed? When will we move back?
The huge losses caused by this back and forth are unbearable for this small settlement.
If the space-time storm comes and the settlement does not move away, then the entire settlement will be wiped out, and the consequences are absolutely unbearable for Korhan. On the other hand, if the settlement moves away and the space-time storm does not come, such a loss is also unbearable for Korhan.
Faced with a dilemma, Korhan hesitated.
If it were an ordinary settlement leader, he would certainly follow the space-time forecast at this time. After all, the space-time forecast is issued by the Silver Star Federation, and there are some special ways to perceive the changes in space-time activities. Although the accuracy is not 100%, it also has considerable reference value.
However, the published space-time forecast is not necessarily exactly the same as the real space-time forecast. Korhan knows very well that when the Silver Star Federation needs to cover up something, it will release false information to mislead, and the space-time forecast is not surprising.
In such a major event related to the survival of the settlement, you can only rely on your own judgment.
After thinking for a long time, Colehan said, "Notify everyone in the settlement that after today's space-time particle collection activity is over, we will abandon this base and retreat to the satellite city around Dawn City."
...
At the same time, underground in Dawn City, the Space-Time Knights branch.
The rebels led by Gao Jingwu are still training step by step as usual to improve their strength.
The two priests, Meredith and Ferdinand, have perfectly integrated into this group. In addition to training their synaesthesia and the ability to control space-time creatures every day, they ask Grantham, who is controlled by Chen She, for space-time knowledge.
The two priests were amazed when they came to the Dawn City branch. They originally had different purposes, but after seeing the current situation of this branch, they all realized that a new star was rising and realized that this was a great opportunity for them to improve their synaesthesia knowledge.
So they pestered Grantham every day, wanting Grantham to teach them some synaesthesia knowledge. They even all promised that they would do everything they could to help Grantham become a black priest.
Although Ferdinand was a member of the Yellow Priest, he was also shaken after Grantham showed his powerful ability. He had the idea of betting on both sides, at least on the surface.
Chen She was worried about other problems.
He didn't need to worry about the increase in Grantham's energy fluctuation level. Anyway, in his consciousness world, Grantham and the embers would automatically increase.
What he was worried about now was whether the war between the Enterprise Alliance Army and the Space Knights would affect him.
Not to mention how much he would gain, at least he shouldn't suffer too much loss. Lishan Technology's field base must not have any problems.
But so far, Chen She still knew nothing about the information of this war, which made Chen She feel a little uncertain.
A few days ago, Chen She also asked the two priests indirectly, wanting to know the battle plan of the Space Knights. But the two priests did not reveal any news, just saying that they didn't know either, and they were just following orders.
For such large-scale actions at the Space Knights headquarters, only the top few senior priests could know the entire plan.
Chen She didn't have any better solution, so he could only take things one step at a time.
At this moment, Meredith, who was meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes with joy on her face, "It seems like the action has begun!"
Chen She also instantly felt a strong space-time activity brewing in the south of Liming City.
And that's where the Corporate Army's military base is located.
The joint enterprise army actually controlled the entire Dawn City from two directions. In the north, an army was stationed centered on the field base of the Icefield Defense Group, while in the south, an army was also stationed.
This kind of strong spatiotemporal activity is almost impossible to occur naturally, because the spatiotemporal activity pattern near Liming City is relatively stable.
In other words, this is most likely the action of the Knights of Time and Space!
Chen She couldn't help but be a little shocked. The Knights of Time and Space really took action without any warning.
It is indeed in line with this group's usual style of doing things. Reckless and unreasonable, he never asks about the process, only the results.
Not only did the original Grantham do this, but such an important military operation planned by the headquarters of the Knights of Time also did this.
Meredith said: "Now that the space-time activities have begun, we should also execute the order."
"The members of the Space-Time Knights we brought have already lurked in Dawn City in advance. Although there are not many in number, they are enough to cause serious damage to Dawn City in this case and cooperate with the headquarters' actions."
Ferdinand also said: "Yes, let's take our leave now. After this operation is over, we will come back to discuss the knowledge of time and space."
Chen She quickly stopped the two of them, "Wait a minute, you have received a mission to cause destruction in Liming City?"
Meredith and Ferdinand nodded, "Yes, but this has nothing to do with the Dawn City branch. Your branch has suffered a lot of damage in the previous battle. The headquarters wants you to rest first and wait until there is an appearance. Act as a backup force in extreme situations.”
"The red priest will contact you directly at that time."
"As for our coming to Liming City this time, we must also cooperate internally and externally to cooperate with the headquarters' actions."
Chen She finally understood now that these two priests were not here just to study or monitor him, but they were also tasked with creating terrorist activities in Liming City.
In other words, the battle plan of the Knights of Space and Time is as simple and crude as ever: The troops from the Knights of Space and Time headquarters will create huge space-time activities outside, directly attack the garrison of the Enterprise Alliance, and then Meredith and Ferdinand will sneak in. The priest of Dawn City led his knights to launch terrorist activities in Dawn City, attacking from both sides.
In short, it is to create chaos and civilian casualties as much as possible.
Although there are some corporate army garrisons and DCPD police officers patrolling in Liming City, once large-scale time and space activities occur outside, the Space-Time Knights and the Allied Enterprise Army will officially exchange fire. The defense force in Dawn City will inevitably become relatively empty. At this time, any large-scale civilian casualties will have an extremely serious impact.
Chen She hurriedly said: "You two, please be patient."
"After all, you two are not very familiar with the situation in Liming City. If you two can trust me, why don't I lead the Liming City branch to complete this task with you two? What do you think?"
When he heard that these two priests were going to cause trouble, Chen She couldn't sit still. He knew very well that the behavior of the Knights of Time and Space was nothing more than creating time and space activities and large-scale riots, and they would not consider the casualties of civilians in the process at all.
Once these two priests are allowed to go about their business, there will be no telling how many innocent casualties there will be in Dawn City.
For Chen She, although these civilians in Liming City have no direct interest relationship with him, he can't bear to allow such large-scale terrorist activities to occur.
This kind of terrorist activity will inevitably have an extremely heavy blow to the entire economic environment of Liming City. At that time, Lishan Technology's development plan based on Liming City will be greatly affected.
Of course, the most important point is that these two priests must have a lot of manpower. These men are used to launch terrorist attacks and specifically deal with civilians. This is undoubtedly a method of use that Chen She disagrees with the most. With such a power of the Knights of Time and Space, why not find a way to uproot the big conglomerates in Dawn City?
Therefore, Chen She decided that instead of letting these two priests go to Liming City to carry out various terrorist activities completely out of their control, it would be better for him to personally lead them to eliminate several consortium branches in Liming City. On the one hand, it can minimize the harm, and on the other hand, it can also take this opportunity to attack the power of various large consortiums.
Redis and Ferdinand looked at each other's expressions, both hesitant.
"But the order we received before was to act on the spot and decide on our own what targets to attack."
"Wouldn't this be a bit disobedient..."
Chen She couldn't help but chuckle. He knew very well the urinary behavior of people like the Knights of Time and Space. Do you still have the problem of disobeying orders? Anyway, as long as the final result is satisfactory, no one will care about the process at all.
Chen She said: "We just act with the camera! Our branch is more familiar with the situation in Liming City, and our combined strength can play a greater role. As long as the final result is good, the process is not important at all. What do you think?"
Meredith and Ferdinand thought for a moment and then each nodded, "It makes sense, so what should we do!"
In fact, they would not agree to this proposal. After all, they each represent the interests of different priests, and each has different goals and a competitive mentality.
And at first, they thought that the Time and Space Knights branch in Dawn City was very weak and unworthy of carrying out operations with them.
But after seeing that these people had good combat power under the leadership of Grantham, the two people's thinking also changed. In addition, Chen She's own aura of deception, the two people felt that concentrating their strength could indeed produce greater results, so they naturally agreed to this request.
Chen She smiled slightly, "Okay, then let's start!"
...
At the same time, the wild settlement.
The people in the settlement are nervously packing up various supplies and transferring a large amount of supplies in the warehouse to the RV.
Many people showed disdain on their faces. After all, in their opinion, although the recent time and space activities are a bit abnormal, they are far from the point of relocation.
They have lived in this settlement for a long time, and the time and space crystals in the wild have increased significantly recently, and the income is good. After collecting time and space crystals every day, you can come to the settlement to play or celebrate with others. Life is very comfortable. Once you move away, it will not be easy to find such a perfect settlement next time. It may be snatched away by other settlements.
Although Korhan's decision was implemented, many people still think it is a bit of an exaggeration. Korhan is too nervous and conservative.
At this time, Korhan is nervously observing the sky in the distance. Although he does not have synesthesia, he can feel that the situation seems to be changing with his years of experience in the wilderness.
He has an ominous premonition, but he can't tell where this premonition comes from.
At this time, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance.
The visibility in the air decreased instantly. The time snow that was originally sparsely scattered suddenly increased, and the wind gradually increased. The strong wind swept the time snow.
Some space-time cracks can be vaguely seen in the distance. A huge change seems to be brewing.
Although the settlement itself is not in the center of space-time activities and is far away, the scope of space-time activities is rapidly expanding, and it is inevitable that the entire settlement will be involved!
Korhan's face changed instantly, and he shouted loudly: "Just take all the space-time particles, everyone get in the car immediately, and leave immediately!"
