"Phew, that's alright."

"Dande and Piccolo are still alive. As long as the Dragon Balls are around, there is hope."

"Let's go, Goku, let's find Piccolo and the others first and find out what happened during this time."

"Well, that's all we can do for now."

Krillin and Goku quickly regained their composure, exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously teleported away from their original positions.

In a forest on the outskirts of Dongdu.

Meanwhile, Bick, who was seriously injured, was hiding in a cave under Dandy's care.

Number 18, on the other hand, stood guard at the cave exit, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

Then, just as she was scanning the depths of the forest, Krillin and Goku suddenly appeared beside her using Instant Transmission, startling her so much that she quickly raised her hand to prepare to fire a Ki Blast.

"Wait!! Number 18 is one of us!"

"I'm Krillin... the one who saved you before. And next to me is Goku; you should be very familiar with him!"

Realizing that Number 18 was about to launch an attack, Krillin quickly revealed his identity.

Upon hearing Klin's somewhat familiar voice and seeing the newcomer's face more clearly, Android 18 breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily stopped.

"Little bald guy, it's you! I didn't expect you to still be so elusive."

"And you are Sun Wukong, the target Dr. Gero assigned to us in the instructions."

"I can't believe you dare show your face in front of me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Number 18 looked the two raggedly dressed people up and down, and finally fixed his gaze on Sun Wukong, and couldn't help but make a joke.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was not angry. Instead, after carefully sensing the faint aura emanating from Android 18, he couldn't help but feel a surge of fighting spirit.

"Are you number 18?"

"Although I can't sense your presence, I'm certain you're very strong."

"However, I'm still a bit behind what I am now."

"Killing me won't be that easy."

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's answer, Android 18 raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.

Seeing this, Krillin quickly stepped between the two and said irritably, "Alright, Goku, now is not the time to spar."

"Instead of all that, could you please tell us what happened after Cell issued the bounty?"

Interrupted by Krillin, Goku and Android 18, who were eager to fight, quickly stopped their standoff.

Then, Number 18 looked at Krillin with surprise and asked in confusion, "What happened in the last two days?"

"Cell caused such a huge commotion, and you guys didn't even know?"

"Judging from your attire, I thought you had already fought Cell before."

"I didn't expect you to be completely unaware of what has happened these past two days."

Meeting Android 18's puzzled look, Krillin couldn't help but scratch his head and explain, "Well, not long ago, in order to deal with Cell, Goku and I entered a special training facility."

"Time flows differently there than outside, so we have no idea what happened during that time."

"Is that so?" Upon hearing Krillin's answer, Android 18 finally showed a look of understanding.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Actually, after we parted ways, I hid away and stayed far away from the city."

"We only have a general understanding of the specific events happening on Earth."

"If you want to know the details, I think you should ask your companions."

As he spoke, Number 18 gave the two a look, signaling them to follow him as they walked into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, Krillin and Goku soon spotted a capsule house.

And the presence of Piccolo and Dandy was present within it.

"Are Piccolo and Dandy here?"

Sensing the presence of the two, Sun Wukong didn't wait for Number 18 to knock before eagerly stepping inside and opening the door.

"Hey! Piccolo, Dandy, you two are still alive!"

At that moment, Dende, who was healing Piccolo inside the house, suddenly heard Goku's voice. He was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mr. Sun... Mr. Sun Wukong, you've finally come out!"

Dende was really worried during the time that Goku and Krillin were training.

After Goku entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he had only been there for a day and was still struggling to make the Dragon Balls in the temple.

Unexpectedly, a major disaster suddenly and inexplicably struck, and I have been living in fear ever since.

Now that he saw Sun Wukong appear, he finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Dandy."

At that moment, Klin also entered the house and greeted Dandy.

"Hmph, you two, dawdling like that. You should have let me in first."

"If it takes this long, the Earth will be destroyed."

Lying on the bed, Bick saw that although the two were being sarcastic, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, sorry."

"However, Krillin and I have gained a lot this time, and now we have power that surpasses that of a Super Saiyan."

"So, you can rest assured and leave Cell and the like to us from now on."

Sun Wukong said confidently.

Then Klin quickly followed up with more questions.

"By the way, Piccolo, what exactly happened after we entered the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

"How come the temple was destroyed? I can't sense Vegeta and Trunks' presence anymore? And how come so many people died on Earth all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing Klin's barrage of questions, Piccolo's face darkened.

"Hmph, it's all because of that bastard Vegeta."

"Even though he and Trunks together had already suppressed Cell, he still insisted on trying to defeat Cell on his own."

"This left Trunks to face Cell alone, and as a result, both he and his father were ambushed and swallowed by Cell."

"Although Cell did not evolve into his perfect form due to the lack of Android 18's core."

"But after obtaining the power of Vegeta and Trunks, Cell's internal energy grew to an unprecedented level, far exceeding its previous level by dozens of times."

"Even Cell himself couldn't control this power, and he went berserk, starting to slaughter humans and destroy cities. Even the temple was not spared by Cell."

"It stopped moving about half an hour ago, then disappeared and I don't know where it went."

Upon hearing Piccolo's account, Krillin and Goku exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.

Then, at that moment, a voice rang in everyone's minds, anxiously calling out Sun Wukong's name.

"Wukong! Wukong! You've finally appeared!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

"That monster named Cell recently used Instant Transmission to travel to space and has begun indiscriminately slaughtering life on other planets!"

"So far, three habitable planets have been destroyed!"
