We are from the future ark

The first person that the Colombian upper echelons thought of was Victoria, who had been confronting them for some time. However, it seemed a little unrealistic that Victoria, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, could accomplish such a large-scale destruction.

Then the only ones left who have the ability to do this are Casimir, Kazdel, Yan Kingdom and Ursus.

Rhode Island? What is that? Never heard of it, kid.

Therefore, because Rhodes Island was not a truly powerful force and had not been considered at the beginning, it escaped the suspicion of the Colombian upper echelons. As for which country Colombia was going to send the international condemnation to...what did it have to do with them?

Now that Colombia has lost Rhine Life, which they had supported, it can be said that it has suffered a real blow. Although Colombia is a big country, compared with old powers such as Yan and Victoria, the country's foundation is not that strong.

Colombia, which has lost Rhine's life, is probably in an even more embarrassing situation than Victoria. Although the Victorian royal family has become a puppet during the time when it was controlled by the regent, which has greatly damaged the national strength, as an old kingdom, the Victorian royal family has its own trump cards, so recovery is only a matter of time.

Colombia's way of governing the country is to put almost all of its eggs in one basket. Although the benefits gained from this are huge, allowing them to quickly surpass some old kingdoms, once they lose this source, they will become strong on the outside but weak on the inside, which is a perfect portrayal of them.

At least, in the past decade or so, Colombia's voice in the international arena is expected to be much quieter, or even silent.

However, the troubled Colombian senior officials did not affect anyone else. Chen Qi and his team returned to the border of Victoria. After seeing Vina again, the group set off in a mighty land boat towards Rhodes Island in Longmen.

This time, everyone on this land ship was really happy. Chen Qi’s return was an extremely unexpected thing for all of them, but it also made them ecstatic.

It made them even happier than victory and successful completion of the mission. Looking at the recovered Chen Qi, everyone's face showed a relieved smile again.

It was as if in an instant, the estrangement and sadness of these days disappeared. At this moment, everyone's laughter seemed to have returned to the past, even more harmonious and cohesive than before.

This was all caused by Chen Qi's existence. Before he left, no one realized that Chen Qi's existence was so important. Without him, such a large group would have almost fallen apart.

However, on the land ship, there was no figure fighting side by side with Chen Qi.

That year, she did not board the ship. Before leaving, she met with Chen Qi alone.

"...Looking at you, you really can't remember anything."

Nian looked at the person in front of her who had regained his memory. His face was no longer dull and ignorant as she remembered it. Instead, it became serious and calm again, with a hint of sadness surrounding it.

However... it seemed to be much better than the bitter and resentful look she had in the past.

"...Boy, you owe me a favor that I can never repay in ten lifetimes. This body is my way of repaying you, but there are still many things that you need to return to me next time."

After Nian tapped Chen Qi's head with the fan in his hand, he turned into a red afterimage and disappeared into the sky.

"After all, our fate is shallow and our destiny is short, so there is no need to pursue it."

This was the last sentence that Nian said in his ear. Chen Qi watched Nian slowly leave. He didn't know how long it had been before he gently touched his lips, which were a little dry at the moment.

"...You said I forgot, but how could I have forgotten?"

"...years, your blood is now flowing in my veins. I will always remember the footprints you left in this world and the marks you left on me."

"I will never forget you until the end of my life, I swear."

Nian did a lot for Chen Qi, saying that it was to repay the feelings that Chen Qi had been trying to understand in the future, but in fact, Chen Qi did not do anything for Nian. He neither publicized Nian's existence to let everyone know about Nian, nor did he do any restoration work on Nian's documents.

From the beginning to the end, he was just a lucky person who was seen by Nian. Nian had been supporting him all the time. He had no way to repay Nian, and the only way was to remember Nian forever.

At this moment, the two are connected by blood, and Chen Qi will never forget Nian's existence.

"Look! I can already see the Dragon Gate!"

Mel, who was in charge of driving the land ship, pointed to a city wall that was vaguely visible in the distance, and her tone was filled with joy that was hard to conceal. After leaving Rhodes Island for so long, she now had a long-lost feeling called "going home."

Chen Qi also slowly looked through the windshield of the land ship and saw the wall of Longmen looming in the distance. After a long separation, his mood at this moment was somewhat similar to Mel's.

In a sense, Chen Qi is not from any country. To him, Lungmen is his home, and Rhodes Island is also his home.

At this moment, whether returning to Lungmen or Rhodes Island, it feels like home.

"I'm home..." Some subtle thoughts flashed across Chen Qi's eyes. He didn't know how long he had been away from here, nor did he know what Rhodes Island had become during the time he was "dead".

Skadi didn't come, maybe the situation is not good. I heard from Amiya that the situation with Kal'tsit is not optimistic either.

It seems that I will be very busy during this period of time.

However, just when Chen Qi was worrying about his future return to Rhode Island, the scene in front of him suddenly became clearer and clearer, causing his thoughts to slowly stop at this moment.

All I could see was the city-state of Longmen getting closer, but on the border outside the wilderness, a lot of figures had gathered at some point, and when I looked at them one by one, they were as eye-catching as a large field of trees of different colors.

Chen Qi felt something was wrong in his heart and subconsciously turned his head to look at the Doctor and Amiya behind him.

"I...I just called to tell you that you're back alive."

However, the doctor, who was glared at by Chen Qi, spoke with a guilty conscience at this moment, completely dispelling any fantasy in Chen Qi's heart.

“…It’s over.”

When he thought about the fact that Kal'tsit might have been in a low mood recently, as well as his Aunt Tallulah and other elders, Chen Qi finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the elders...

"Doctor, even if I die today, I will drag you down with me..."

Don't force me to create Precious for you... Chen Qi buried this sentence in his heart and did not say it out loud.

Chapter 142: Chen Qi faces everything calmly (first update today)

"Aren't you trying to trick me, Doctor?"

Chen Qi looked at the Longmen border where he could vaguely see a few familiar figures in front of him. The corners of his mouth began to slightly bitter, and he said to the doctor behind him:

"Although I passed away suddenly, I know it must have been a big blow to you, but I didn't have any other options at the time. There's no need to retaliate against me in this way, right?"

"Doctor, tell me honestly, do you really want me to die?"

"No, no, no, who do you think I am?" The doctor retorted almost immediately, shaking his head and explaining as if he was afraid that Chen Qi would misunderstand him.

"I really was thinking about you. Everyone thought you were dead at the time. Kal'tsit even fell seriously ill because of you. I saw that she was very busy these days, so..."

"...Chen Qi, during the time when everyone thought you were dead, the changes in Rhodes Island... were indeed quite serious."

At this time, Jessica, who had just finished maintaining the weapons on the land ship, slowly walked over and said to the unaware Chen Qi:

"During the time when you were gone, Rhodes Island fell into a critical period of paralysis. Although it only lasted a few days, it was indeed the time when Rhodes Island was hit the hardest. The people of the entire Rhodes Island were in panic and very uneasy."

"Dr. Kal'tsit also had a serious illness. After she recovered, she did a lot of... um... nitpicking things to maintain the balance of Rhodes Island."

However, Jessica seemed to be looking for a more neutral word to describe Kal'tsit's neurosis in the past few days, but in the end she chose to give up and could only use this word.

"...Is it that serious?" Chen Qi couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard this. Even someone as peaceful as Jessica made such a comment. It seemed that Kal'tsit's condition some time ago was indeed a bit excessive.

"Indeed...Dr. Kelsey did feel very...irritable during that time."

However, Amiya on the side agreed with Jessica's description. The little rabbit who was treated as her own daughter by Kal'tsit had a somewhat subtle expression on her face at this moment. It was rare that she chose not to stand on the same front with Kal'tsit.

"During that period...Dr. Kal'tsit's behavior was indeed a bit excessive. Members of many work positions had to maintain a high level of concentration almost all day long. If they fell behind in any aspect, their salary and vacation time would be deducted. There was no room for maneuver at all."

"...It was the same during training. I don't know why, but she always liked to run to the training room during that period and even personally fight in the arena. I don't know how many operators were beaten to the point of being unable to get up by Kal'tsit's Mon3tr."

The doctor who took over Amiya's words also spoke with lingering fear, but the doctor's words made Chen Qi frown slightly, not knowing what to do.

"... and the training of new operators. During this period, the training intensity of Rhodes Island's younger reserve operators has increased several times, and it is getting harder and harder every day, and the tasks are getting heavier every day."

"Even Lin Dong and the others can't stand it anymore. Zhen Li and Zao Lu came to me to complain that day, saying that if things continue like this, Lin Dong's waist will not be able to support itself."

"Not to mention the members of the reserve team. Spotted complains in the cafeteria every day. Ethan and Big Bob are planning to run away. I don't know how many times Puffka and the others have cried during training. They really can't hold on any longer..."

The words of Amiya and the other operators made Chen Qi's brows furrow even more. In the end, Chen Qi's face even darkened a little, which made people feel that he looked a little bit scary.

It seems... a lot of problems seem very acute.

"...We also advised Dr. Kal'tsit not to be so hasty, but she seemed to be stuck in a strange circle of thinking and refused to listen."

Amiya seemed to recall a quarrel in the past. That was the first time she and Kal'tsit had a real disagreement. Usually, Amiya always listened to Kal'tsit, but that time, she could no longer accept Kal'tsit's orders.

Including this time, the plan to come and take back Chen Qi's chip was also brought here on Amiya's own initiative. If it were according to Kal'tsit's order, Amiya would now strictly forbid anyone from leaving Rhodes Island.

The reason is that Rhodes Island needs a leader to continue to maintain it, and Amiya, as the leader of Rhodes Island, cannot take risks alone.

"I could sense her anxiety and restlessness, the feeling of wanting to get everything done but rushing things..."

Mud Rock at the side slowly spoke at this time. She took Shuang Xing's hand and slowly appeared behind the crowd, and said to Chen Qi lightly:

"Although she looks very calm, she is actually the most uneasy one among us."

"She didn't have this feeling before, but after she felt an unprecedented sense of security, the moment she lost it, her calm mask could no longer be recreated, and she became extremely panicked."

"... Chen Qi, you should calm down Dr. Kal'tsit." Shuangxing nodded. The girl, whose Originium disease was clearly under control at this moment, looked at the boy who had been lost and recovered in front of her, and said with a long-lost smile:

"After all, she...well...she has always cared about you."

Frost Star finally seemed to remember some of the things Kal'tsit had said to her, and did not tell anyone the true relationship between Kal'tsit and Chen Qi, even though she knew it and Chen Qi might know it well.

Frost Star has truly felt the changes in Kal'tsit during this period. She feels helpless and a little sad. Faced with this situation, she can't do anything and can only watch it all happen silently.

It's not just Frost Star, everyone seems so helpless and powerless, but fortunately, now that Chen Qi is back, this situation can probably finally be curbed.

If Kal'tsit continues like this, Rhodes Island may be able to hold on for a while, but over time, it will inevitably collapse.

"Here we are."

On the other side, Mel, who was in charge of driving, spoke again. The speed of the land ship slowly decreased and finally stopped at the border of Longmen.

At this moment, people could clearly see the figures in the front. It was not just Kal'tsit, but also Wei Yanwu, Wen Yue, Wei Siyue, Xing Xiong, Shi Huaiya, and even the Patriot of the Integration Movement and Tallulah, who were all waiting here quietly.

Everyone received the news and was filled with great anticipation and disbelief, wanting to witness the verification of the news with their own eyes.

“…Let’s get off.”

After pondering for a while, Chen Qi still couldn't think of any way to deal with Kal'tsit. In the end, he could only give up and accept everything that happened next.

He made up his mind in his heart that even if he would die today surrounded by scoldings from his elders, before he died, he would use his last breath to create Priss for the doctor and let him feel the love from his previous life.

By then, let's see how he can survive in the gap between Dr. Kal'tsit and Precious.

Chapter 143: A brief moment of tenderness after a long separation (Second update)

After the land boat slowly slowed down and stopped completely, Chen Qi and his group slowly got off the land boat one by one.

First came Saria Hemer and her group, followed by Muirseth, who had rebelled from the Rhine Life headquarters and would have been burned to ashes by the eruption of Ifrit if they had not arrived in time, and a few other faces that were quite puzzling to everyone.

These were all the "cellmates" they rescued from Victoria Prison. They were called "cellmates" mainly because in order to create the effect of a prison break and facilitate the operation, Saria forged her identity and became a newly joined prison guard. That was also the reason why she was dressed as a prison guard when she first appeared in front of Chen Qi and his group.

"...Is this the queue to welcome us?" A girl named Robin who looked rather listless looked at the large group of people in front of her. She had been resting on the land ship and had not paid attention to the situation here.

"This is too exaggerated..." The other girl, Kafka, who was relatively lively, was frightened by this formation and muttered to herself, "We didn't trust the wrong person, and he was actually locked up in a different place, right?"

"...I don't think so. Ms. Saria and the others have no need to deceive us."

The other man was completely different from the two girls. He had a burly figure and thick black and white striped hair. Unlike his rough appearance, the man named "Shan" spoke in a very kind and steady tone. He said calmly:

"This shouldn't be targeting us. If they really wanted to get rid of us, they would have done it in prison. Why would they go to so much trouble to trick us here?"

"Besides... I feel like their attention isn't on us at all. The people in the front who obviously look different have already glanced past us."

Shan was very calm, and his calmness made him more able to see things that he could not see when he was frightened. However, at this moment, he vaguely felt a hint of subtlety.

This feeling... is hard to describe, but Shan's subconscious mind is telling him that there is nothing for them to do next, and they just need to stand aside and watch the show.

Perhaps, they can also take this opportunity to learn some secrets about Rhodes Island, where they will live in the future.

However, just as Shan was imagining this, the figures on the land ship slowly came down one by one. When they saw Ifrit slowly coming down, everyone's attention was highly focused again.

To their disappointment, after a strange silence, as Ifrit stretched out his hand, a left hand that looked quite familiar yet a little strange gently grasped Ifrit's palm.

The young man's body slowly appeared in everyone's sight, as if it was the same as always.

"..." Chen Qi's eyes swept across everyone in the front row. Everyone's face was so familiar to him, yet it felt like a lifetime ago.

Old Wei, Princess Wenyue and Wei Siyue... these three seemed to have lost some weight, especially the aunt Wei Siyue. It seemed that she had been having trouble eating and drinking during this period, which made Old Wei and Princess Wenyue lose weight.

Aunt Xingxiong, and Aunt Shi Huaiya...these two were still the same as always, if Chen Qi hadn't seen their expressions of joy and tears.

Of course, Chen Qi's last glance was still towards the opposite side of him, where the cold and expectant woman was looking at him quietly, as if nothing had happened.

——Except for her uncontrollable tears, nothing else has changed.

"……Everyone."

A slightly hoarse voice slowly came out of Chen Qi's throat. Looking at the people in front of him who were eagerly waiting, he smiled sincerely and said lightly:

"I am back."

However, just as Chen Qi's voice fell, as if breaking the solidified air, he felt a breeze flash by, and the next moment, a body slowly hugged him.

...There was no scolding as he had imagined, nor was there any questioning as he had expected. For the first time, nothing that happened next happened as Chen Qi had guessed.

Kal'tsit hugged the man in front of her who was many years taller than her. Her body was trembling slightly, and her delicate hands, which could only hold a scalpel, wrinkled the clothes on Chen Qi's back.
