Jindai Yunlo turned around and left with the others, and an airship had already been prepared for them at the airport, heading directly for Jian nguan.
On the airship, Jindai Yunlo smiled and said, "Let’s go, bring the family mbers of the Parents’ eting ho."
Ryosuke Takahashi finally couldn’t hold it any longer: "Why is it you again?"
Jindai Yunlo paused for a mont: "Because she knows clearly, only I can go."
...
...
Inside the headquarters.
Zero looked at everyone: "Now for the second matter, Li Changqing, I need you to return to the Central Plains. Proceed with the coordinates I give you, your route must be precise, no deviations allowed."
Zero sent out the coordinates, and this route sketched a C on the holographic sand table, detouring into the Central Plains!
"Do you want to cut off the supply line of their Land Group Army?" Li Changqing asked.
Zero smiled: "That’s correct."
Li’s Air Force was annihilated in City 18, with only one Qing Shan Aerial Fortress left.
No one expected that Qing Shan Ship, having just reached the southwest, was again dispatched to the most dangerous place in the Central Plains.
Zero looked at Li Changqing: "Only by holding the southwest can the civilians migrating from City 18 have a chance to survive. Though you might die, they may live."
"Their satellite will detect us in advance," Li Changqing said.
Zero replied: "This route just avoids their satellites."
The East-West Continent had been shooting down each other’s satellites for a long ti, with neither allowing satellite orbits on the equator, making full-ti surveillance impossible for both.
However, Zero knew precisely the satellite orbits of the West Continent.
This ant Li Changqing would be venturing alone, even though the Aerial Fortress had nuclear power to extend its range, they would be in enemy territory, and the enemy could easily surround them.
Li Changqing paused for a mont: "I’ll go."
Zero smiled: "This supre command is indeed quite useful, Li Yinuo, Nan Gengchen, Li Tongyun, Liu Dezhu, Zhang Tianzhen, you five will go with the Qing Shan Ship."
The five of them looked at each other, not knowing why Zero suddenly sent them to the Qing Shan Ship. But it didn’t matter; if told to go, they would go.
The five left, boarded the airship, and ascended the Qing Shan Air Fortress.
...
...
Zero looked at Qing Yu: "I now require Qing’s Aerial Fleet to begin retreating."
In the holographic projection, Qing Yu frowned: "Why retreat, you send outsiders like Jindai Yunlo and Li Changqing to the most dangerous places, yet ask us to retreat. Qing’s Soldiers are not cowards."
Zero smiled gently: "I’m not discussing with you, but ordering. I require your units to reach the edge of Taboo Land 001 within ten days. I will send you the coordinates."
Qing Yu responded: "Received."
Zero issued over a hundred orders in rapid succession as if without thought. The war machine of Qing’s Family was fully mobilized, and operations staff suddenly noticed these orders covered all units, leaving none overlooked.
However, no one knew what she truly intended.
The command room fell silent, when suddenly, Ke Rouli, who had been listening for a while, asked: "Do you know where my boss is?"
Zero smiled at her and said: "I don’t know, now is not the ti to think about Qing Chen, what’s most important is whether those thirty-three thousand mbers of the Parents’ eting can survive this ordeal."
...
...
Autumn had arrived.
Amid the Southwest Transverse Mountain Range, mist hovered, and beads of dew hung on the eyebrows of the Parents’ eting mbers marching silently in the morning.
The temperature atop the mountains was dropping, and at night it would even approach zero. Everyone wore thin clothing, only the core Ti Travelers had eaten warmly on Whale Island, while the others had to endure the cold.
There was no food.
Tornted by hunger and cold.
When Ti Travelers returned, they would gorge themselves, eating up to six tis a day, just to gain a bit of fat to endure hunger in the Inner World.
Xiao Qi instructed the Ti Travelers to distribute food and dicine from the Outer World, but they could only bring ’a bite’ worth, wrapped in preservation mbrane with compressed biscuits.
A drop in the bucket for a 330,000 strong team.
They seed forgotten in so corner of the world, unnoticed, as the long line moved along the ridge like travelers in a desert, caravans atop sand dunes.
Yet, while food was scarce, they were well-ard, and Parents’ eting mbers had not abandoned their weapons along the way.
The team was about to enter the Southwest Region.
Luo Wanya stood on a ridge and spotted a temple in the distance: "How can there be a temple here? The tiles are clean with no weeds, aning it’s inhabited."
A Parent Association mber from the Inner World explained: "This should be the Great Compassion Temple. When the chanicus once rampaged, squeezing out Buddhism and suppressing Daoism, many monks were forced into exile in the wilderness. So beca wild people, while those with firm beliefs continued as monks. Without temples in the wilderness, they followed the nomads, helping them farm along the way but didn’t accept money, nor demand goods. Even if they worked hard, they only asked for three als a day."
The mber continued: "They also practiced dicine. Once, when a plague hit the wilderness, they saved many lives. After they helped, the wild people built them a temple in the mountains. Next to the temple, monks cultivated their own land, and when soone in the wilderness couldn’t survive, they could stay in the temple for 30 days. Every 30 days, a group of them would go out into the wilderness, treating anyone they encountered who was ill."
