Whale Island is a Forbidden Item that has been contained.

Zheng Yuandong did indeed take it in; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bring it from the Inner World to the Outer World.

The problem is, since the Forbidden Item ACE-013 Whale Island has already been contained and the host is still alive, how could it suddenly have a different host?!

Zheng Yuandong was still racking his brains to figure out how to keep it a secret when he lost his home.

Our base has been raided!

When Zheng Yuandong was reviewing the materials from the Bystanders organization, the most intriguing part of the vast amount of information he came across was the speculation about Whale Island.

This involves secrets about the Genji Clan.

An observer once traveled eastward, lived in the Genji Clan's hometown for a period of time, and became friends with the Genji Clan.

Later, frequent volcanic eruptions in that area caused the entire continent to sink, and tsunamis became a constant occurrence...

So Genji Clan made a decision: to move to the Federation continent.

However, when the Genji Clan's subjects arrived on the Federation continent, the Bystanders organization did not see any Genji Clan.

Although the people arrived, Genji Clan mysteriously disappeared.

The bystanders organization began investigating the cause.

Later, as the bystanders organization conducted an in-depth investigation, they discovered some clues.

They discovered something strange: there were a total of seven families of divine servants under the Genji Clan, and the Kameda family had changed their surname to "Kamidai".

Years later, a member of the Kamishiro Family, in a drunken stupor, let slip that he was a traitor and had failed the patriarch's high expectations.

Therefore, observers speculated that the Genji Clan had been poisoned by the Kamishiro Family.

As signs slowly appeared in the Forbidden Sea, the Federation discovered the remains of Giant Whale on the seabed, leading people to speculate that Whale Island was the Forbidden Item of the Giant Whale.

But the observers couldn't help but ponder a question: Whale Island is Forbidden Item for Giant Whale, so how did Giant Whale come to be?

At that time, there were already extremely terrifying creatures in the Inner World. For example, in the previous human civilization, there was an extremely dangerous ivy.

The ivy mutated because it was accidentally watered with the blood of a superhuman.

It spent three months constantly evolving, feeding on humans, and almost swallowed up the entire city's population.

The appearance of these terrifying plants and animals is actually related to human superhumans; to be precise, they all devour the flesh and blood of superhumans.

Therefore, the Bystanders believe that the Giant Whale's transformation may be due to its consumption of... the head of the Genji Clan family.

Therefore, Zheng Yuandong had a new guess.

He first assassinated a member of the Shindai's elite military officers who was on leave.

Then they took the officer's body and set sail in an airship to try their luck at finding Whale Island.

To Zheng Yuandong's surprise, he succeeded: he found Whale Island and guessed the containment conditions correctly.

The condition for Whale Island's inclusion was to avenge the Genji Clan.

The problem is, if he had already contained this Forbidden Item, why could it suddenly be contained by someone else?

Whale Island is one of the most mysterious Forbidden Item.

Once contained, Whale Island can move at the host's will and change the weather accordingly.

It can even 'grow' the resources that humans need.

For example, the building materials for this Time Walker Academy were manufactured by Zheng Yuandong using Whale Island.

The reason why alcohol, food and lodging are free on the island is because resources are inexhaustible; it is a true paradise.

Although items produced here cannot be taken off the island and will be destroyed once they leave, it is the perfect location for a school.

Now, my home is gone...

Zheng Yuandong took Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou out to investigate in the pouring rain, but they still couldn't figure out what was going on after looking for a long time.

"Boss, can you still control Whale Island?" Lu Yuan asked.

"It won't work," Zheng Yuandong shook his head solemnly.

Ni Ergou suddenly said, "Wait a minute, why do I feel like Whale Island is moving very fast?"

Zheng Yuandong's expression changed.

The sound of waves crashing against the cliffs in the distance grew louder and louder, as if Whale Island was gradually accelerating, but no one knew where it was headed.

"Holy crap! Why is it so cold!" Chen Sui woke up and was shocked when he looked out the window.

Liu Ning, from the Red Leaf Organization, stood next to Chen Sui and muttered, "Am I seeing things? Am I blind?"

Qing Chen stood next to Liu Ning and exclaimed, "Ah, this!"

What I saw outside the window was no longer the majestic blue waves, but a vast expanse of white ice.

In the distance, the glacier, like a high wall, was breaking apart piece by piece, making a rumbling sound as it collapsed.

Qing Chen and the others were woken up by the cold. When they went to sleep, the indoor temperature was a constant 24 degrees Celsius controlled by the central air conditioning. Now, with the air conditioning on, it's -10 degrees Celsius...

The water in the cup on the wooden table in the dormitory, which I hadn't finished drinking before going to bed, had frozen into ice cubes.

Ice flowers even formed around the windows.

Chen Sui stared blankly at a group of penguins in the distance and said, "If I'm not mistaken, we should be in Antarctica by now..."

After saying that, Chen Sui was a little overwhelmed. "How did we end up in Antarctica?! Huh?!"

At this very moment, the penguin colony on the glacier is standing there dumbfounded, curiously observing the broken ice.

They are too far away to see the islands, so all they can see are inexplicably broken ice blocks...

Meanwhile, all the students on the island were freezing like little kids.

For example, extraordinary individuals like Qing Chen were alright, but ordinary people were not so lucky; they were all shivering from the cold.

This is the time to observe the abilities of your classmates.

Those with weaker abilities wear the thickest clothing.

Chen Sui and Liu Ning had just finished getting dressed when they turned around and saw Qing Chen and Tang Wei. They wished they could wrap themselves in blankets, mattresses, and sheets.

Chen Sui sneered, "My C-Class strength wasn't wasted."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Qing Chen exclaimed.

Just as they finished speaking, the four of them saw Zard, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, walk past the dormitory door.

This guy doesn't usually show up, but now he's deliberately coming out to show off.

The saplings overhead were still swaying precariously.

Qing Chen was astonished to discover that the sapling was not actually Entangling Snake Vine.

It's estimated that by the time of his return, the Entangling Snake Vine would have been severed by the rules, and this Zard simply found another one on the island and stuck it on his head as a limited-edition skin.

It has to be said that Zard is indeed highly recognizable in the Academy. He even has a unique column on the Academy forum, where he is known as "the lunatic with a tree growing on his head".

To be honest, when the Outer World that elementary school students from Haidian District went to the polar regions to complete their graduation ceremony, many students were envious. "That's what a wonderful life looks like!"

But caught off guard, they were suddenly transported to Antarctica, where they are likely to die instantly!

"What are they trying to do? Is the principal leading us all to our deaths?" Tang Wei exclaimed in shock. "Quick, quick, put on your winter clothes!"

That was so unexpected.

This is such a surprise.

How did my peaceful school life turn into an adventure?!

Qing Chen asked, "Why do you think we came to Antarctica?"

Chen Sui thought for a moment and said confidently, "It must be the academy's first assessment. Principal Zheng Yuandong wants to test our willpower and see if we can withstand extreme conditions. Yes, that must be it. Especially in times like these, we must show strong will and indomitable spirit!"

"That makes sense, that makes sense..." Qing Chen echoed.

On the other side, Zheng Yuandong stared intently out the window, muttering, "Damn it..."

Even the usually calm and composed Boss Zheng couldn't help but swear.

He knew without a doubt that the person who had taken in Whale Island hadn't yet learned how to control the island, and thus accidentally brought Whale Island here.

The twelve Kunlun members worked from morning until noon, drawing wizard rune arrays on the walls of the dormitory area with their True Sight Eye. As the three array wheels turned and started, the walls caved in, creating a fireplace burning with endless firewood out of thin air.

They painted a total of 108 fireplaces before they were able to stabilize the indoor temperature.

Every Kunlun member who possessed the True Sight Eye was almost exhausted to the point of vomiting blood, and their mental energy was showing signs of being overdrawn.

Although the temperature was barely maintained, this couldn't go on forever. If Whale Island remained stationary in Antarctica, how could normal teaching order be maintained?!

Moreover, this fireplace array can only last for seven days at most, and it continues to burn the spiritual will of the Kunlun members every minute and every second.

The Kunlun members can't just sit on the island meditating and recovering their mental energy without doing anything else.

This is outrageous!

"We can't wait any longer. We must find the inmates on Whale Island," Zheng Yuandong shook his head heavily. "Lu Yuan, go find Qing Chen immediately and see if he did it."

"Huh? Boss, you think it's related to Qing Chen?" Lu Yuan, wearing a thick down jacket, had a red nose from the cold. "We can't just suspect Qing Chen every time something happens."

Ni Ergou, however, supported Zheng Yuandong's point of view. "This kid has caused quite a bit of trouble. Let's ask him first. I'll also go find Zard and see if it's related to him or Huan Yu."

Lu Yuan took out his phone and called Qing Chen. A moment later, Qing Chen's voice came through the phone, coming from inside the bathroom. "How can you slander someone out of thin air... I don't know what happened... I didn't do it, I didn't!"

Zheng Yuandong frowned.

In the dormitory of Jingūji Maki and Li Tongyun.

Two little girls, wrapped in thick blankets, were pressed against the window, looking out with worry.

Xiao Zhenji looked at the penguin with sparkling eyes. "Kawaii!"

Li Tongyun said softly and patiently, "Zhenji, it seems you've gotten yourself into trouble... By the way, do you have any way to get Whale Island back? Back to the north, everyone's freezing to death."

But Jingūji Maki couldn't understand what she was saying.

Li Tongyun took out her phone's voice translator and repeated it.

The translation software spoke haltingly in Japanese, and Li Tongyun wasn't even sure if the translation was correct.

She gestured for a while, Xiao Zhenji seemed to understand what she meant, so she nodded seriously.

Whale Island began to move again.

The island, as large as a city, slowly sailed away, drifting northward.

The sound of rushing water, the crackling of breaking ice, and a deafening roar.

Whale Island is like a nuclear-powered icebreaker equipped with more than a hundred nuclear reactors, setting sail once again.

The students hid in their dormitories, watching the magnificent scene outside. They suddenly felt that although it was a bit difficult, seeing the scenery they had never had the chance to see before seemed not so bad.

People have always perceived the Inner World as tense and dangerous, while the Outer World is seen as comfortable and safe.

Now, the Outer World is even more dangerous than the Inner World...

But it's quite interesting.

In the dormitory, Xiao Zhenji waved to the penguins outside the window.

Outside the dormitory, some students were already wrapped in blankets, ready to rush out and have a snowball fight.

Zheng Yuandong watched silently, while Ni Ergou remarked from the side, "What a vigorous young man!"
