By the time Zhang Tianyuan arrived at the research vessel that night and helped Tong Wenshi absorb the people from No. 1 Station into the Mutual Aid Society Second Division, everyone already knew about the parallel universe.
Like Liu Chunshi, this kind of thing has completely exceeded the boundaries of ordinary people's imagination.
Visitors from parallel universes—this kind of thing can happen in novels and movies. (Xxs-②)
People simply don't believe it will actually happen.
The members of No. 1 Station, who had just escaped the Antarctica wilderness, signed the Mutual Aid Society application in a daze. They even thought they were still dreaming, while their real bodies were actually freezing to death in Antarctica...
This is an illness; it needs treatment.
So Zhang Tianyuan connected the Imperial Capital and the grasslands, letting people on those sides talk to them and also letting the psychologists there help them.
Having been cooped up in Antarctica for over a year, and then experiencing such a huge shock right after coming out, I hope he doesn't really go crazy.
Liu Chunshi also had a successful phone call with Tong Wenshi, and his emotions were the most stable among everyone.
The two communicated and exchanged information about the current situation in China, which helped Liu Chunshi catch up on the information he had missed.
When Liu Chunshi heard that there might only be a little over a million survivors left in China, he was struck dumb.
Zhang Tianyuan had told him before that the casualties in China were staggering, but he never imagined they would be this terrifying.
No wonder they had to rely on a brother country from a parallel universe to come to Antarctica to rescue them; otherwise, they might not have received help even after waiting for ten years.
"Everything is moving in a positive direction now, so don't be too sad, Station Chief Liu. Once you've received your vaccines, you can return to China. Then we'll all work together to rebuild the country..."
After listening to Tong Wenshi's words of comfort, Station Chief Liu calmed down considerably. He bowed deeply to Zhang Tianyuan beside him, his eyes reddening, and said, "Thank you so much, President Zhang!"
Wiping away the few tears, Liu Chunshi took a deep breath to suppress his grief before asking about their return date, "The country is in dire straits right now. The sooner we can get back to help, the better."
In response to his sigh, Zhang Tianyuan replied, "Tomorrow we can travel through the Spacetime Tunnel to No. 1 Spacetime. After you receive the KV Vaccine there, I will send you directly back to the Imperial Capital."
This answer
The situation was a little different from what Liu Chunshi had imagined. "We don't need to take a boat back?"
Directly transferred through Spacetime Tunnel...
This kind of "travel" is a bit too futuristic.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and shook his head, "No need. This fleet will remain in Antarctica. On one hand, it needs to rescue researchers from other countries on the peninsula, and on the other hand, it needs to bring back those South American Gang members and settle their scores."
No matter what their difficulties are, it doesn't mean they can kick other people out of the research station and let other innocent people freeze to death in Antarctica.
" Station Chief Liu, you should get some rest, and let the other team members get some rest too. Tomorrow's experience should be quite unforgettable for you."
Tomorrow's experience...
"Yes," Liu Chunshi said with a wry smile, "Traveling through parallel universes via Spacetime Tunnel —we'll never forget that experience."
Compared to eating well, drinking well, sleeping well, and receiving psychological counseling, the members of No. 1 Station also benefited.
Otis and his men were treated like war criminals. They only ate three bowls of porridge and two cups of water all day, and their stomachs were growling with hunger when they went to bed at night.
However, this was already better than their life at the research station, where they couldn't sleep at all.
Early the next morning.
After a quick breakfast, Otis and the others were successively sent to the research vessel, preparing to return to the "2012" timeline with the people from No. 1 Station.
"Who are these people?"
"They all look malnourished..." The researchers at No. 1 Station occasionally felt that some of the faces among the Otis people looked familiar, but they couldn't quite place them.
After more than a year of confinement, Otis and the others had become emaciated; to say they were malnourished would be an understatement.
Faced with the whispers of those around him, Otis simply smiled at them, barely managing to maintain the facade of his former political elite self.
Zhang Tianyuan stood at the front, waiting for the soldiers to confirm the number of soldiers.
"What are we waiting for now?" Otis asked his pretty secretary.
The other party replied, "They're confirming the number of people, and it seems they're about to open a Spacetime Tunnel..."
A general standing nearby, his eyes vacant, chuckled weakly and said, "Where did you find this idiot translator?"
Otis glanced at the foolish general and didn't want to pay him any attention.
Now he
Seeing these colleagues' faces brings back memories of past experiences.
"Go on."
The elegant secretary listened intently to the surrounding conversation and translated in unison. "They seem to be saying not to panic, not to run around..."
Before Otis could think about it, he heard Zhang Tianyuan clap his hands twice.
Then in an instant.
The world has changed dramatically.
They were no longer on the salty, cold deck, but had arrived at a warm indoor plaza, larger than a football field, enclosed on all sides, with people watching them through glass.
"Where is this? Aren't we on a ship?" the foolish general shouted hastily, and the soldiers on the periphery of the crowd, armed and watching, immediately signaled him to shut up.
Otis quickly kicked him, then seemed to have entered a fairyland, so excited he couldn't contain himself, repeatedly murmuring "Incredible."
Liu Chunshi and the other people at No. 1 Station rubbed their eyes, looking in amazement at the huge indoor plaza in front of them.
"Is this No. 1 Spacetime?"
Do parallel universes really exist?
The facts were right in front of them, leaving them no choice but to believe them.
Liu Chunshi suddenly felt a little lost, unsure of what to do next, and was about to ask Zhang Tianyuan.
Then, many medical personnel in protective suits quickly emerged from the passageway and began directing the scene. "Welcome everyone to No. 1 Spacetime. Please follow our instructions and proceed as directed."
Zhang Tianyuan watched Liu Chunshi and his group leave before pointing to the remaining Otis group and saying to the medical team leader who had come to meet them, "Take these people back too. They need to be guarded by someone. Also, give them pens and paper and have them write down all the information they can remember about the national assets."
The head of the medical team nodded and waved to signal his subordinates to take action.
Besides these people, the group that returned this time also included issues that needed to be discussed between the Imperial Capital and the grasslands, as well as all the classified information that Otis and his team brought to Antarctica.
After handing over all these things, Zhang Tianyuan was about to take a break when he suddenly received a call from a senior executive of "2012".
The opponent opened with a winning hand.
" President Zhang, our global Earth core monitoring labs have just reported that they have detected a rapid rise in underground temperatures!"
