Chapter 915: Preparations

Truth isnt a Kalendaria! Shang Jianyao wasnt surprised at all and retorted on the spot.

Liu Chuan turned his head and looked at this fellow angrily.

Shang Jianyao didnt show any weakness. Silver-white lightning lit up in his eyes again.

After the two of them exchanged gazes for a few seconds, Liu Chuan seemed to find it a little unbearable and slowly moved his gaze away.

Youre weak; you cant keep it up! Shang Jianyao said whatever was on his mind.

This act of adding fuel to the fire made Liu Chuan suddenly cast his gaze back at him.

At this moment, all the lights in the bas.e.m.e.nt flickered at the same time and quickly lit up like miniature suns.

My eyes! Shang Jianyao shouted and raised his hand to block his face.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

The other New World powerhouses had similar reactions. They either covered their eyes with their hands or lowered their eyelids, not daring to look straight at the strong light.

After a short burst of intensity, the light returned to normal. A low and ethereal male voice then sounded in Shang Jianyao and the others ears at the same time as if it came from another world. Everyone, the chaos is about to begin.

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and saw a tall, thin, and black figure moving on the left wall of the bas.e.m.e.nt, but there was no one.

Are you Truth? He interrupted the black figures words without any reverence.

The black figure fell silent for a moment before saying, I am.

Shang Jianyao tersely acknowledged it and didnt interject.

He looked around and realized that Liu Chuan and another person had their heads lowered, appearing abnormally respectful. Although Flora, Barnard, and the others werent that exaggerated, they showed sufficient respect.

They all had focused expressions.

The tall, thin black figure swayed on the wall and said, When signs of the chaos appear, join forces and head to the tower. Dont waste any time on the way.

In the face of Charlie, Professor Li, and the other traitors, if we cant finish them off quickly, leave some people to tangle with them. The rest will continue forward.

At the appointed time, I shall open the towers door. After you enter, you only need to destroy the core facilities there to see the pa.s.sage back to the Ashlands.

The Kalendariums power reverberates in the tower. This will bring you great danger, but this is also your only chance. If you dont take advantage of the distraction of the Kalendarium brought about by the chaos, you will never be able to escape!

Everyone, patiently wait here for signs of the chaos.

Just as Truth said that, Shang Jianyao immediately raised his right hand. I have a question. Why cant the Kalendarium be distracted during the chaos?

The black figure didnt answer him because after saying that, it rapidly expanded and disappeared from the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Upon seeing this, Shang Jianyao said in disappointment, What a fast runner! Its like were ferocious beasts.

Liu Chuan turned his head and glared at him, but he didnt say a word.

Shang Jianyao didnt look at him at all and continued asking, What are the signs of chaos?

At this point, Liu Chuan had nothing to hide. He frankly answered, There will be obvious unrest in the New World at irregular intervals. This spreads out from the tower, including earthquakes, storms, and collapsing houses.

Irregular? Then, how do you guys know that there will soon be chaos? Shang Jianyao asked questions about anything he didnt know.

Liu Chuan took a deep breath and replied, This is news pa.s.sed down by the great Truth from the tower. It has always been very accurate.

Alright. Shang Jianyao had an expression that said: I barely believe you.

He then steered the topic back to the previous topic. Why didnt Truth stay behind to answer a few of our questions? Everyone is very nervous about doing such an important and dangerous matter. There must be many questions.

I cant discern any nervousness from you

Liu Chuan saw the few New World powerhouses nearby who understood Ashlandic nod slightly and agree with Shang Jianyao. He quickly and calmly explained, Great existences dont care about such trivial matters and wont respond to doubts.

Who said so? Shang Jianyao immediately retorted. In the past, when I prayed to the Kalendarium, the Kalendarium would answer.

In what way? Liu Chuans expression tensed up.

Including Flora and Barnard, some New World powerhouses cast their gazes over.

Although it was common for Kalendarium to answer believers prayers and questions, and this was generally known as an oracle, the people in the bas.e.m.e.nt currently planned on resisting the tower and attempting to escape. It was inevitable that they would be a little terrified when they heard the word Kalendarium.

Shang Jianyao seriously said, Although They didnt say a word, I can clearly decipher Their meaning.

What meaning was it? Liu Chuan asked.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously, Telling me to get lost.

He was the one who liked to joke now.

If Liu Chuan hadnt paid the price of having a weak personality, he definitely wouldve punched Shang Jianyao in the face.

Pangu Biology, Room 14 on the 647th floor.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen sat in the Old Task Forces office, appearing a little idle.

Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, they were racking their brains over some problems.

Its best if we train every two days to maintain our physical and mental states, Long Yuehong proactively suggested. His subtext was that if they didnt do so, they might not be able to receive the telegram from Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao in time through Genava.

In that case, the two people in the underground building might miss the best opportunity.

Of course, Jiang Baimian had previously considered this problem when formulating the plan to split up. She believed that they couldnt place all their hopes on a telegramthere were too many twists and turns that prevented them from responding in time.

Another way to transmit information was the recording pen.

The principle was that after Shang Jianyao entered the New World, he could complete the lock-on through his body, the remaining aura, and power. In other words, he should be able to make the recording pen play by itself under his control like Xiaochong and Wu Meng to warn his teammates.

However, this required a certain amount of time to break through the New Worlds barrier, transmit power, and pa.s.s his thoughts. There was an obvious delay, and it couldnt compare to the speed at which he could p.i.s.s himself.

Putting them together with the telegram provided timely feedback. It would at most be a ten-minute delay, preventing Long Yuehong and Bai Chen from missing the opportunity.

However, there were also some unknowns. Jiang Baimian didnt know what Wu Mengs level was, so she couldnt be sure that Shang Jianyao could definitely do the same thing after entering the New World.

Therefore, Long Yuehong couldnt skip on the telegrams and recording pen.

Alright. Bai Chen nodded. Ill report to Deputy Minister Xenny.

Long Yuehong then looked at the computer and phone on his team leaders desk and sighed sincerely. Actually, were no longer considered members of the Old Task Force

He and Bai Chen were closer to internal affairs.

As long as the team hasnt disbanded, it will always be so, Bai Chen replied solemnly.

Eighth Research Inst.i.tute, behind the tunnel door.

Jiang Baimian wore a military exoskeleton and sat with her back against the wall, resting with her eyes closed.

She had just injected Shang Jianyao with a nutrient shot. She also planned on seizing the opportunity to rest for a while and wait for the New Worlds chaos to begin.

When the time came, she would attempt to enter the mysterious building in the New Worlds core area.

The illusion it presented was a tower!

In the bas.e.m.e.nt of the special building in the New World.

As Shang Jianyao chatted with Flora, Barnard, and the others, he suddenly exclaimed, Oh no, I forgot something!

What is it? Florawho was sitting in a chairasked in concern.

The Shang Jianyao standing there replied, Before the chaos begins, I still have something to deal with. I have some friends to inform!

For example, he wanted to go to the Ashlandic compound and have a chat with the sobbing woman in the darkness to see if the chaos could trigger the corresponding changes and make her say more. For example, he wanted to go to the place where Yama Tiger and the others were imprisoned and remind them that the chaos was about to begin and to be wary that the person imprisoning them might take the opportunity to do something. For example, he wanted to ask Jacob and the other friendly people to see if they wanted to escape the New World

This matter is strictly confidential, Liu Chuan emphasized when he heard Shang Jianyaos words.

Barnard trembled as he explained, A group of people chose to obey the towers management and want to use this method to exchange for the right to return to the Ashlands often. Traitors like Vice President and Charlie also have followers.

If the news of us taking advantage of this chaos to do something spreads, the difficulty of the matter will rise exponentially. It might even make us suffer the Kalendariums divine punishment before the chaos begins.

Oh Shang Jianyao looked around in disappointment.

Upon seeing that those who could understand the conversation had shown signs of opposition, he could only say, Alright.

The next second, his thoughts jumped as he asked about something else. What kind of punishment will you receive for transmitting the secrets here to the outside world? Who metes out the punishment?
