"What does this mean? Did you translate it wrong? Translate it a little more..." Otis frowned.
Although the English words translated by the elegant secretary were complex and obscure, they were all understandable to an elite like Otis.
The key issue is that he can't understand these words when they're put together.
What Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society?
What is that?
The elegant secretary also wondered if she had made a mistake in her translation, but urged by Otis, she didn't have time to think about it and could only continue translating: Xxs-②
"As a cross-dimensional rescue organization, the Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society has always adhered to the principles of unity and mutual assistance, providing equal rescue to all beings across parallel dimensions."
"This authorization is for humanitarian relief purposes only in emergency situations and does not imply acceptance or endorsement of the signatory's identity or actions by the Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society. This authorization will terminate upon the completion of the humanitarian relief efforts..."
Otis seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to understand.
"Parallel universes... Mutual Aid Society?"
"You mean, those people came from a parallel universe?"
"This is impossible! Are they kidding us? They must be treating us with such contempt because such an agreement is invalid!"
Are they trying to mess with us?!
Otis was completely hysterical. He paced rapidly in the small room, turning in circles, trying to stimulate his brain through physical activity. He also shoved another document into the hands of his pretty secretary.
"Quick, translate this for me!"
The pretty secretary, seeing that Otis was clearly not quite right in the head, didn't dare say a word, picked up the documents, and began translating with her neck hunched over:
"Authorization Letter Regarding Allowing the Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society to Conduct Rescue, Material Storage, and Other Activities in China..."
After the pretty secretary finished reading a headline, Otis's brain completely shut down.
These two documents contain far too much information.
Although he tried to reassure himself that it was probably just a joke, did the people on this warship really need to joke with them?
"Who are you all? What are your missions?" Liu Chunshi stared intently at the researcher in front of him.
Even a staunch materialist like him was afraid that the other party might suddenly shed their disguise and bare their fangs at him.
Bite it...
However, his absurd fantasy scenario did not come to pass.
The young researcher scratched his head in confusion. "We were sent by the Mutual Aid Society to rescue you."
" Mutual Aid Society?" Liu Chunshi realized it was an organization he had never heard of.
"Yes, I'm a member of the Mutual Aid Society First Division, and you're members of the second division."
Liu Chunshi felt he had grasped the key point. "Why do you say we're in the second division? What's the difference between the first and second divisions?"
The researcher gave him a strange look. "I only recently joined the Mutual Aid Society. I only know that only people from No. 1 Spacetime, and only people from No. 2 Spacetime can join Part 2. You are from No. 2 Spacetime, so of course you are members of Part 2."
"Spacetime 1 and No. 2 Spacetime..." Liu Chunshi's face stiffened. He looked at the researcher, unable to maintain his composure any longer. "What does this mean?"
The researchers then realized something was wrong.
He took a step back. "Didn't President Zhang mention the Mutual Aid Society Association to you?"
Liu Chunshi shook his head.
The researcher then realized that his mouth might have caused trouble and quickly sought instructions from his superiors.
The news was immediately reported to Zhang Tianyuan by the captain of the research vessel, who replied with a wry smile, "Perfect, you should explain this to Station Chief Liu and the others. Don't let them worry too much; we are all compatriots."
He never intended to hide it from Liu Chunshi and the others. He didn't mention it at the research station because he was worried that Liu Chunshi and the others wouldn't be able to accept it in a short time.
Now that everyone has left the station and boarded the ship, it's time to explain.
After receiving Zhang Tianyuan's order, the captain of the research vessel finally put aside his worries and smiled as he poured Liu Chunshi a cup of tea in his office.
" Station Chief Liu, don't worry too much. We meant no harm. President Zhang just instructed me to explain to you."
Is that the easygoing young man?
Liu Chunshi immediately recalled Zhang Tianyuan's appearance. He had previously thought Zhang Tianyuan was a military officer, but now it seemed he was wrong.
"Please speak." Liu Chunshi prepared himself mentally; he had a gut feeling that the news he was about to hear would be astonishing.
The captain, wearing a thick coat, chuckled and said kindly, "Actually, I also found this incredible when I first heard about it. That is, the theory of parallel universes holds true in this universe."
There are indeed many parallel universes in the universe. Our universe is designated as 1, while yours is designated as 2.
"In other words, although we both speak Chinese," the captain held up two fingers, "We are actually from two different times and two different countries."
"It was the Mutual Aid Society connected our two timelines. President Zhang was the first to discover the apocalyptic crisis in your timeline and informed our timeline."
We came to your time and space to carry out rescue operations under the leadership and guidance of the Mutual Aid Society, including this rescue operation in Antarctica, which was also led by President Zhang.
This information came like a heavy punch, leaving people somewhat stunned.
Looking at the captain's serious expression, Liu Chunshi asked again to confirm, "You're not joking, are you?"
The captain said, "Of course not. I also have introductory materials about our timeline here; you can take a look."
As he spoke, the captain took out a disc and put it into the DVD player.
Inside is introductory material for No. 1 Spacetime, which was hastily filmed and produced during this period by the crew of "2012".
The film played slowly on the television, covering everything from the country's beautiful scenery and political economy to modern history and even the global situation. Liu Chunshi didn't dare to blink for a second, staring intently at every single shot.
After reviewing this, the captain took out some of the ship's Antarctica scientific research data and pushed it in front of Liu Chunshi:
"These materials are unique and fall within your area of expertise; Station Chief Liu should be able to distinguish their authenticity."
As Liu Chunshi perused the materials in his hands, he had to admit, no matter how unbelievable they seemed, that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the scientific research data and records.
He wouldn't even be able to tell where it's fake.
Or rather, it really is true.
"Do parallel universes really exist? Did you and the Mutual Aid Society come from a parallel universe to save us?"
The captain stated definitively, "Of course it's true. We have no reason to lie to you. President Zhang will come to meet you later, and then you should officially become members of the Mutual Aid Society Second Division."
Liu Chunshi slumped onto the sofa, let out a long breath, and felt his heart pounding.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
Great figures I've never heard of, research vessels I've never heard of, Antarctica —a place I've never heard of before...
Who would have thought,
These people actually came from a parallel universe!
