However, Chen's shouting did not stop Ifrit. As the door closed, Ifrit completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

"…We were presumptuous in what happened today."

Kal'tsit also spoke lightly at this time, pulling Amiya aside, and said to Wei Yanwu and Chen who was lost in thought:

"We will come back tomorrow to make amends."

"...Then, I won't send you off."

Wei Yanwu also knew that under today's circumstances, the deal would definitely not be concluded, so he ordered them to leave.

"...Xiao Chen, you should go too."

"Ah, yes."

However, Chen, whose mind was in a mess, answered very absent-mindedly. She didn't even notice Wei Yanwu's address to her, and left on her own.

And Wei Yanwu's expression slowly changed and he snapped his fingers after everyone had left.

"What do you want, Lord Wei?"

"...Contact our spy in Rhodes Island. I need to know what happened in Rhodes Island during this period."

Wei Yanwu said this to the quiet air, and he was full of thoughts. He walked slowly towards the bedroom while smoking a cigarette.

He vaguely felt that this Rhodes Island might have some shocking secret.

Chapter 39: Conversation between Chen Qi and Ifrit

Ifrit returned to Rhodes Island's ship alone.

Ifrit knew that she was impulsive. As a person from the future, she should abide by the "Code of Silence" on her own. She could give modern people some hints, but she could not reveal all the particularly important things. The consequences of this could be quite serious.

Although their purpose was to change what would happen in the future, she shouldn't say too much, but keep everything under control as much as possible. Obviously, her impulse made her ignore this.

She was not an impulsive, reckless, or emotional person. But when all this was linked to Chen Qi's experience, it was difficult for her to remain calm.

Because she had heard almost everything about Chen Qi's past from him. Because of this, Ifrit also told Chen Qi about her own experience. The two people had almost the same experience, and because of this incident, they developed a very good relationship.

It was also because of this that she would later...

"..." Ifrit thought so, silently looking at the small diamond ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and a sweet and annoyed smile appeared almost uncontrollably at the corner of his mouth.

"That bastard, he actually took advantage of my poor thinking and..."

"Next time I see him, I must settle accounts with him."

Ifrit muttered to himself in a feigned vicious tone, but he could not hide the smile on his face at all.

However, it seemed that he was staring at the diamond ring in his hand for too long. The moment Ifrit looked up, he bumped into a figure in a black coat.

"boom!"

There was a collision that was almost impossible to stop, but Ifrit did not move at all and directly knocked the person in front of him away.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ifrit realized that he had bumped into someone, and judging from the collision just now, it seemed to be a weak civilian staff member. After all, if he was a combat operator, he would not be knocked away by her like this.

After seeing the man on the ground, Ifrit called out softly:

"What? It's the Doctor."

"Ah... Miss Ifrit."

The knocked-down doctor touched his protective helmet, and then stood up with the help of Ifrit. Although he was taller than Ifrit, it was still useless.

"Doctor, I'm not saying anything, but you should exercise more. If you are so weak, won't you need an operator to carry you on his back when you are on the battlefield?"

"...In fact, this draft has been approved." The doctor said helplessly after a moment of silence. Kal'tsit recently discussed with him whether he needed to arrange a highly mobile operator to carry him if he wanted to command on the battlefield.

The doctor's dignity as a man made him want to veto this proposal. However, after simply estimating the physical fitness gap between himself and the combat operators, he chose to remain silent and acquiesce in the passage of this proposal.

He didn't want to admit it, but his heart had already accepted the fact that he had no fighting ability at all.

"Shouldn't you be at the Guards Bureau discussing cooperation with the people from Longmen? Why did you come back alone?"

"...Tsk, I don't really like those pretentious guys in Longmen, so I came back on my own."

Whenever Ifrit thought of Chen, her mood became very bad, but now that Chen was not in front of her, she didn't want to be upset. Why should she get angry with herself?

It's just that after knowing about Chen Qi's situation, I felt a little angry when I saw this woman speaking so righteously.

"By the way, Doctor, I asked Klosher to help me make a communicator that can input codes by itself. Has she finished it?"

"You're just in time." The doctor nodded and took out a communicator that looked a lot more complicated from his pocket and handed it to Ifrit.

"It was just finished yesterday. I temporarily used my own salary to advance the money for you. I have to find a chance to reimburse Kal'tsit."

"Thank you, Doctor!"

Ifrit was overjoyed, grabbed the communicator and ran to the side. Before the doctor could come to his senses, Ifrit had already run a long distance away.

"...It's really urgent."

The doctor shook his head slightly, then continued walking in one direction. He still had a lot of places and work to familiarize himself with.

On the other side, Ifrit hurriedly took the communicator and entered a string of complicated codes through the keys that looked like a computer keyboard.

Because they often go out on missions, the signal of the communicator may be transmitted out, so in order to avoid this situation, Ifrit and his team will choose to use a special code communicator to communicate, so that even if it is cracked, it will take some time.

This period of time is enough for Ifrit and others to communicate and respond.

After entering a series of codes, the communicator became busy. Ifrit waited anxiously, waiting for an unexpected response to this call that might not be connected.

After all, given Chen Qi’s current situation, it is not unlikely that the communicator will be destroyed.

However, it was not known whether God heard Ifrit's prayers, but after a busy tone, the communicator was actually connected.

"…Ifrit?"

The familiar young man's voice sounded slowly, but the moment Chen Qi's voice sounded, Ifrit almost burst into tears.

"——Chen Qi! You bastard!"

"You bastard, you scared me to death!"

"Another person is trying to be a hero! Another person is trying to be a hero! Tell me! How many times has this happened to you?!"

However, after hearing Chen Qi's safe and sound voice, Ifrit cursed out all the words that he had been holding in his heart in one breath.

After hearing that Chen Qi had voluntarily been kidnapped by the Integration Movement, Ifrit was in fear almost every day. She was not afraid of being in danger, nor was she afraid of death or injury, but there was one thing, she and Chen Qi were the same, they were afraid that the people they cared about would be in such a crisis.

They are all people who have experienced a life worse than death. As beings who also carry their own responsibilities and hopes, they care about the existence of their companions more than anyone else.

This is a tacit understanding, but for the two companions, it is also a strange worry. They would rather be in danger themselves than others, and unfortunately, both of them think so.

For Ifrit, the thing she could not accept most about Chen Qi was that every time there was danger, he would ask her to retreat first and deal with the trouble himself, and she was always unable to compete with him.

This also makes Ifrit always tortured by such "pain".

Although Chen Qi was able to escape danger every time, Ifrit was really scared.

She was afraid that he would be like them and leave her one day.

"……sorry."

Chen Qi was silent for a while and chose to apologize as he did before. After all, he knew that his behavior did put Ifrit under a lot of pressure.

If it were him, he would be angry too.

"But this time, I'm as confident as usual, so you don't need to worry about me."

"Who's worried about you? You'd better die soon, you bastard!"

Ifrit wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and shouted angrily at Chen Qi.

The two of them then remained silent for a long time. Chen Qi was waiting for Ifrit's answer. He knew that this was not the time for him to speak.

"...Hello, Chen Qi."

"Ah."

"…promise me that you won't leave me like Saria and the others did."

"of course."

Faced with Ifrit's rare honesty, Chen Qi would not miss the opportunity. He said to Ifrit with a chuckle:

"I will never leave Ifrit. Didn't I say that before?"

"You said that when I was distracted! It doesn't count!"

When talking about this, Ifrit felt embarrassed again, but the mood on her face finally turned from cloudy to sunny. Her little face was flushed, but she had to pretend to be reserved.

"Speaking of which, how are you doing in the Reunion Movement recently? Have you collected any useful intelligence?"

"…It has basically been confirmed that the changes in the Reunion Movement still lie with Aunt Tallulah."

When talking about this, Chen Qi's expression became much more serious. Both of them were in working mode and were very strict in this aspect.

"I have established a decent relationship with some cadres of the Reunion Movement. I should be able to use them to find an opportunity to test Aunt Tallulah."

"...A cadre of the Reunion Movement?"

However, when it came to this, Ifrit thought of something and frowned subconsciously.

"Who are they? How many women are there?"

"…What are you thinking? It's not just women, there are a lot of male cadres here too."

Chen Qi could smell the jealousy even through the screen. He subconsciously bared his teeth and wondered when did Ifrit become so jealous?

"Don't worry, you know what kind of person I am, so why are you worried?"

"What's going on with Amiya? What's going on with Xia Guang, Jia Weier, W, and those unclear guys?!"

"..."

Facing Ifrit's question, Chen Qi choked up. He could have used the excuse "these are all my friends" to get away with it, but for some reason, Chen Qi felt that if he said this, it would lead to a series of big troubles later.

"Anyway, if I want to leave, I will let you know in advance. I'll trouble you to pick me up then."

"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."

However, there was no time for Ifrit to ask questions. Chen Qi finished his words and hung up the phone.

"Hey! You bastard! Chen Qi! Explain it to me! What's going on with those people?"

At this point, the call ended with Ifrit's rage.

Chapter 40: Chen Qi's Infiltration Plan

Chen Qi hung up Ifrit's call awkwardly. On the side, Hong, who had recovered from his injuries, wagged his tail and asked curiously:

"Chen Qi, who is that?"

"my girlfriend."

Chen Qi openly admitted that the affair between him and Ifrit was known to the whole of Rhodes Island. It was quite a sensation at the time, and the two stupid couples, Ye Dao and Hei Jiao, fanned the flames, causing all the idle people in Rhodes Island to come and watch.

That day was truly a crisis in Chen Qi's life. Sister Amiya smiled and said nothing, while people like W and Ines were making a fuss very enthusiastically. Even Sister Xia Guang, who had originally left Rhodes Island, came over specially to give him a gift. What was it? A jar of secret sauce?

Chen Qi even opened it and tasted it, thinking it was some kind of specialty of Casimir. But he was speechless the whole day because it was so spicy.

Chen Qi didn't know what Casimir used to make this completely invisible hot sauce. Anyway, the whole jar of stuff was eaten by Charmander alone, and he didn't touch it at all.

By the way, Skadi and Angelina, who returned to the East Country, also heard about this matter. The two girls came back specially to give Chen Qi a gift.

What Skadi delivered was a huge fish caught from the deep sea. However, for some reason, the fish had no head when it was delivered, and it was a bit smelly after it was delivered. The fishy smell was ridiculous. There was really no other way, so Chen Qi had the huge fish made into canned fish in case Rhodes Island needed it.

Angelina's gift was more normal, a slightly old letterhead and a vintage record, which was secretly given to Chen Qi through internal channels.

After Chen Qi read the letter, he found that it was a very old letter. The signature at the bottom was a little unclear, but between the lines, there were blessings and faint emotions. Combined with the old song in the old record, it had a very different charm.

Chen Qi did not delve into the source of the letter. He knew that this might be a very memorable letter to Angelina. He also specially prepared a thank-you gift for Angelina - some old records that he specially found. He knew that Angelina liked these very much.

After that, there wasn't much contact until their time-travel plan was fully formed. They then sent messages to the old employees who had returned to various places and reconvened them in the name of Rhodes Island.

Now, it should be almost time... Chen Qi couldn't help but start to miss the Rhodes Island he managed. Sister Amiya could only temporarily prevent Rhodes Island from being leaderless, but many subsequent matters still depended on the cooperation of various departments.

Chen Qi was very confident in the rules of Rhodes Island that he had established. Although he seemed to be busy, most of the time he was just signing, checking and stamping. To put it simply, ruling by doing nothing was no longer a dream.

The size of Rhodes Island has more than doubled. Now, Rhodes Island is no longer just a small land aircraft carrier, but also a mobile city, a mobile city that accommodates enough residents and has all the conditions to become a force.
