However, at this moment, the information revealed by Chen Qi and his attitude towards Amiya and them made Dubin very confused, and he even felt that Chen Qi's words were really credible.

Is this person who fell from the sky really from the future?

What was his purpose? Was he the future Rhodes Islander? Why did he come here? Why did he help them?

All kinds of doubts kept echoing in Doberman's mind, like a kitten's claws scratching her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the strict training and attitude she received, she would have been unable to hold back and questioned Chen Qi.

"Amiya, do you really believe what he said? Do you believe that he is from the future?" The middle-aged man holding a large shield also came over. He temporarily handed the King Slayer to other elite operators for care. Obviously, he cares more about Chen Qi's identity now.

"...I don't know." However, it was difficult for Amiya to judge. He looked at Chen Qi's back, his eyes slightly absent-minded, and murmured:

"This should have been a very absurd thing...but, for some reason, the moment I saw him, I felt very close to him...it was clearly the first time we met, but it felt like I had known him for a long time."

"Doberman, ACE, don't you feel this familiar?"

"..." Doberman and the middle-aged man named ACE looked at each other and shook their heads when they heard this.

"Amiya, are you sick? Or is this the Originium skill of that guy?" Dubin shook his head and said to Amiya very seriously:

"Amiya, I have no choice but to take part in this rescue operation, and I am prepared to sacrifice myself, but I will not allow our entire operation to be ordered by a suspicious person. This is irresponsible to our team members."

"I understand..." Hearing this, Amiya suppressed her emotions and looked at Dubin and asked, "So what are you going to do, Instructor Dubin?"

"...At the very least, we need to find out the identity of this guy." Dubin replied very seriously: "At the very least, we need to rule out the possibility that he is not an enemy. For this, we may need the help of your Originium skills, Amiya."

"……I see."

Amiya nodded when she heard that, and then, under the gaze of Doberman and ACE, she slowly approached Chen Qi.

However, Chen Qi was seen holding a Rhodes Island device and operating something. Amiya pricked up her long ears and vaguely heard some of Chen Qi's mumbling.

"Damn... Such an old device. If I hadn't seen some old employees still using it, I might not have known how to operate it..."

Old? This was the first time Amiya had heard such an evaluation from others. Although Rhodes Island's funding had always been tight, it was not stingy at all when it came to updating its equipment. I wouldn't say that they were all the latest, but they were all advanced and excellent equipment.

This made Amiya even more curious about Chen Qi's identity. Could it be that he really traveled from the future?

"Um, Mr. Chen Qi."

"Hmm?" A voice suddenly came from behind, and Chen Qi looked over, but he didn't see Amiya at first glance, he only saw two long ears in front of him.

"Down below, down below."

"Hmm? Ah... Amiya-sister."

Moving his eyes downward, Chen Qi saw Amiya's slightly unhappy face, and he almost couldn't hold back his smile.

I can't take it anymore... Was Sister Amiya actually this cute before? I've never heard her talk about it before.

It’s so small, it’s not good, I really want to lift it up high.

"Mr. Chen Qi, you have a strange expression." For some reason, although Chen Qi did not speak, Amiya keenly felt that he must be thinking about something very rude.

However, even Amiya herself did not notice that the tone of her voice when talking to Chen Qi at this moment had become much more intimate.

"I'm sorry." Chen Qi admitted his mistake honestly, and under Amiya's slightly unhappy gaze, he said with a subtle smile:

"I just feel that Sister Amiya was also so immature at one time. Later, you grew taller and looked much more stable than you are now."

"Later? Was it my future self?"

It must be said that "future" is a word that makes people extremely curious. Even Amiya was curious about her future self, especially after hearing Chen Qi's unreserved praise, she couldn't help but start to imagine her own future.

It sounds like she has become a mature and steady leader. When Amiya thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud and happy, and her back straightened up a lot.

Sure enough, her efforts were not in vain. In the future, she will really become a qualified leader of Rhodes Island!

"Yes, you were already quite mature back then." Chen Qi said with a half-smile on his face, trying hard to suppress a smile.

Mature. Indeed, the future Amiya is indeed mature enough. Of course, Chen Qi is only referring to her figure.

When he thought of the big sister Amiya who later became a melee mage with two swords in hand and always rushed to the front in every fight, and then looked at the little Amiya who was trying hard to be a little adult and acted as the highest commander of Rhodes Island, Chen Qi could not regard her and the future big sister Amiya as the same person.

However, is Sister Amiya actually a warlock now? Chen Qi is curious about this.

As a leader, Amiya did become unqualified in the end, otherwise the supreme command would not have fallen into Chen Qi's hands. But as an operator, Chen Qi had to say that Amiya's qualifications were indeed excellent.

Amiya is not only a magic guard, she can serve as an operator in almost any unit except medical. She once held a large shield to block fierce artillery fire, charged forward with two swords, charged into the enemy camp with a spear, shot down planes with a gun, set traps and waited for fish to fall into the net. No matter what position she is in, Amiya is an extremely excellent operator.

But the only difference is the warlock. This is the first time Chen Qi knows that Amiya was actually a warlock at the beginning.

But... Chen Qi didn't plan to tell the young Amiya about this matter for the time being.

Otherwise, if Amiya knew that she would be everything except a warlock and commander in the future, who knows how she would react now.

Chapter 5: Faust's Sniper

"I take it that you didn't come to talk to me to ask me about your future self, did you?"

Chen Qi also brought up this topic. It was not a good thing to let people from the past know about his future. Although Chen Qi did not intend to conceal his identity in this aspect, he did not want to change the trajectory of others because of it.

No, in fact, maybe it had changed from the moment he came.

"...Although it's a bit strange to say this, I trust you very much." Amiya's big, lively eyes blinked, constantly exuding a sense of kindness, and then she said with a little distress:

"However, my own trust cannot convince everyone, so..."

"Ah, I understand, I understand." After hearing this, Chen Qi also understood and waved his hand to indicate that he knew the trouble of this kind of thing.

As the supreme commander of Rhodes Island in the future, Chen Qi was often worried about the internal problems of Rhodes Island. Among them, the most troublesome thing for him was the conflicts among internal personnel.

As an international force that accommodates thousands of infected people regardless of race and origin, Rhodes Island has a complex internal personnel structure, with people from all over the world and various forces. Among them, there are many hostile people, and even people who have blood feuds with each other.

People who come to Rhode Island are not just seeking asylum, but the prerequisite for seeking asylum is trust. In order to win the trust of everyone, Chen Qi has done a lot of work in this regard, whether he is willing or not.

These people just turned a blind eye to each other for Chen Qi's sake, but later on, without exception, Chen Qi slowly resolved the resentment between them, and some even turned enemies into friends and lived and died together.

For Chen Qi, gaining the trust of these Rhodes Island operators was not a difficult task.

"Don't worry. I am a commander after all. What you are worried about is what I am worried about. I will not sit idly by and ignore this kind of problem."

"But the most urgent thing is that we have to leave this city of Qie which has turned into a battlefield." Chen Qi looked at the city surrounded by smoke and fire, frowned slightly, and cursed in his heart.

The original plan should have been able to catch up. If it weren't for the untested time-space shuttle device being inexplicably activated once, resulting in insufficient energy, they should have arrived in this era before Qie City was attacked.

Until now, Chen Qi and his friends didn't know why the time machine was activated without any warning. They just thought it was unstable, or an accident caused by some naughty kid on Rhodes Island. And because of this, they were unable to stop it before the city of Che was attacked.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be in so much trouble right now, and so many people in the city wouldn't...

"Rhodes Island should have support forces, right? It's not like they only have this elite team to carry out the rescue operation."

"There are a total of four teams responsible for the rescue operation this time, but now we only have three teams here, and we can't get in touch with the E4 team responsible for planning the retreat route."

"There are two more teams responsible for the response, led by our elite operator Scout. There shouldn't be any big problems."

"Be prepared for the worst, Sister Amiya." However, Chen Qi's expression was not relaxed, as if he was becoming more and more solemn. He said lightly:

“Before taking action, always prepare for the worst-case scenario and see if you can accept it before making any plans. It’s better to avoid risking everything.”

"...However, the current situation seems to be beyond our control."

Chen Qi let out a light breath and had a general understanding of the current situation in Rhodes Island. It seemed okay, but in fact, it was on the verge of collapse.

Otherwise, they would not have sent so many elite teams to break into the mobile city of Ursus at the risk of being wiped out, just to save a sealed doctor.

Really... Rhodes Island is really a mess at all times. Later, Chen Qi, the highest commander of Rhodes Island, was really fed up with this mess.

It's a pity that he can't contact Rhodes Island in the future now, and the time-space shuttle machine is not stable. Otherwise, if he encountered such a thing, if it were Chen Qi's temper, he would have called Rhodes Island for targeted missile bombing support long ago.

Unfortunately, he couldn't call for help now. Not only that, Chen Qi even doubted whether Rhodes Island had the ability to launch a missile baptism.

Just when Chen Qi was at a loss and could only command the team to follow the original retreat route, a figure suddenly appeared not far away.

"That's it!" Amiya obviously noticed the figure wearing heavy armor and with blonde hair, and she was immediately delighted and shouted:

"We are here!"

"Amiya!"

They only saw a girl wearing silver armor, with long golden hair and horse-like ears running towards them. However, the moment she saw Amiya, she did not show any surprise, but her expression became more solemn.

"Amiya! Retreat! We are being pursued!"

"What?" Amiya was startled and looked around immediately, but no matter where she looked, she did not see the pursuers that the other party mentioned.

At this time, on the roof of a high-rise building on the other side, a figure had already spotted the location of Amiya and the others. Holding a crossbow in his hand, he locked his eyes on Chen Qi who was standing in front of Amiya.

He is the leader of the "pursuers" that Lin Guang mentioned, a cadre of the Reunion Movement, and the commander of the Phantom Crossbowman Group - Faust.

At this moment, he was accepting orders from the leader of their Integration Movement to kidnap their doctor as much as possible without harming the lives of the people in Rhodes Island.

The leader had anticipated the failure of the Kingslayer, and Faust was the second-hand preparation. Once the Kingslayer's plan failed, he and his team would be responsible for the pursuit and sniping of Rhodes Island's group.

Faust was very smart. They first targeted the reconnaissance team of Rhodes Island, and then defeated their team with sniper attacks. Sure enough, the defeated team of Rhodes Island led them in the direction of their large team.

It seems that this is the "target" of this operation. Faust looked at Chen Qi, who was in the front wearing a white coat, and nodded silently. This guy met the leader's requirements from his appearance to his expression. He was obviously a cultured person.

Faust did receive an education before he became an infected person. However, he was still young when he became an infected person and did not have the time to acquire much knowledge. Therefore, for him, he, the regicide, and a large number of infected people all had vague feelings about "cultured people".

The Integration Movement was still mainly composed of illiterate rough people. To them, let alone Chen Qi, who was dressed like a doctor or a social elite, they could tell at a glance that he was either a doctor or a social elite. If you walked in wearing glasses, many Integration Movement people might prejudge that you must have a higher level of education.

Anyway, after Faust looked around and excluded a few who were obviously combat personnel and the 14-year-old girl Amiya, Chen Qi was the one who best fit the image of "Doctor".

Thinking of this, Faust aimed at Chen Qi's leg and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

The leader only said that he would not take any lives. Under the current circumstances, he could only choose to injure Chen Qi first to ensure that he would not escape.

"--careful!"

However, Faust overlooked one thing, the girl with blonde ponytail who was supporting his team.

As the crossbow was fired, the blonde girl suddenly raised her brows coldly and pounced towards Chen Qi. Her strong explosive power allowed her to reach Chen Qi's side in an instant and knock him down. The heavy shield immediately blocked Faust's crossbow!

"Despicable villain! Is all you know how to do is shoot from behind?!" The girl shouted angrily at the building opposite. However, at this moment, below her, Chen Qi's voice came faintly:

"Well, Sister Xia Guang, can you stand up first? The bump on your chest hurts me..."

Chapter 6: Times have changed, old timers

"Flawed light?"

However, when she heard this word, the blonde girl frowned slightly. She felt vaguely that the name the young man used had some other meaning, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

However, during the battle, she did not pay special attention to this detail, and said to Chen Qi:

"I am the former Brilliant Knight of Casimir, a member of the original infected team 'Apostle'. You can just call me 'Lin Guang'."

"You must be the 'doctor' Amiya mentioned, right? Amiya has praised your command ability more than once. Please give the order now! Lin Guang will entrust his shield and life to you!"

Should we say that she is worthy of being the Brilliant Knight of Casimir? She risked her life to save a person she had never met before, and entrusted her life to a person whose background she did not know. If many people did not know Lin Guang's character, they might really think she was a naive person who was sold but helped others count money.

In fact, Lin Guang is not confused about right and wrong. She is just a trustworthy knight who believes in her comrades wholeheartedly.

However, Lin Guang shouted in a hurry and did not notice that Chen Qi, who was standing beside her, showed a dazed expression after hearing her code name.

Chen Qi had heard of this name... no, to be precise, he had heard of this surname.

However, the meaning behind this surname... at least, in Chen Qi's era, it had completely ended.

In a trance, a scene appeared in Chen Qi's mind again. A beautiful figure in heavy armor, facing the last sunset, holding two long wooden coffins, walking away in the direction of Casimir...

Until I could no longer see her back.

"Doctor? Doctor?" Lin Guang had no idea what Chen Qi was thinking. She only saw the doctor's slightly dazed eyes and thought that she might have caused some trauma to the doctor. She called out a few times anxiously.

Fortunately, Chen Qi reacted quickly. He met Lin Guang's gaze and nodded.

"……I see."

Chen Qi smiled slightly, turned over and stood up behind Lin Guang's shield. Seeing this, Lin Guang also cooperated and stood up, holding the shield in hand to block Chen Qi.

"Doctor, please give the order. No matter how bad the environment is, as long as my shield is still there, the enemy's cold arrows will not be able to hurt you!"

"You are so reliable." As expected of Xia Guang's sister. Chen Qi did not say this.

After all, Chen Qi could tell from Lin Guang's reaction just now that the operator codenamed "Xia Guang" has not appeared yet, and Lin Guang also doesn't know that in the future her sister will go to the battlefield like her and become an excellent and reliable elite operator who is no less than her.

"Mr. Chen Qi! Are you okay?!" Amiya and her group, who were looking for shelter immediately after the incident, saw Chen Qi, whose white coat was dirty because of the fall, and shouted anxiously.

After all, judging from the current situation, Chen Qi might be the most reliable commander among them.

"It's a small matter." Chen Qi smiled faintly. There was no trace of tension on his face that was hovering on the brink of death. He was still confident.
