323: Preparations before rescue

The leading Time Walker paused, looking at Gu Qinghan and slowly said, "The first point is to know the exact location in the river of time where the person you want to save is trapped.

The river of time has countless branches; without guidance, finding someone is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

We can't help you with this point; you have to figure it out yourself.

Of course, it would be much easier if you had an item they used before."

Gu Qinghan nodded and said, "I have some equipment she used before; will that work?"

"Yes," the person's face lit up, "If you find the river of time, just put the equipment in, and you can follow the guidance."

Gu Qinghan nodded, firmly imprinting this point in his mind.

Subsequently, the leading Time Walker stated the second point:

"The second point is where we can help you.

To rescue someone trapped in the river of time, a massive amount of time is required.

After receiving the news last time, we have already started intentionally storing time.

Over the next few days, we will package this time into time capsules.

When you find the person, you only need to pour these time capsules into the river of time to create a brief period of chaos.

This chaotic period is your only chance to bring the person out of the river of time.

We don't know what will happen after the chaos, but it will definitely be very dangerous.

We also have no idea how to bring the person out..."

Gu Qinghan pursed his lips and looked at Meina beside him.

Meina immediately sat up straight and vowed, "Don't worry, even if I can't get out, I will definitely bring them out!"

She didn't know who Gu Qinghan was trying to save, but from Gu Qinghan's long-term plan, that person must be very important to him.

Gu Qinghan nodded at her, and for once, said, "Thank you."

Then, he looked at the Time Walkers and said, "I'll trouble you all during this time. Is there anything special to note about the time capsules?"

"This is one of our skills, but the time inside will gradually dissipate, so we need to create them just before use.

Don't worry, the five of us have stored enough time, and the time capsules we create will definitely be enough to rescue your friend."

Gu Qinghan nodded gratefully, knowing this was the result of the communication between Stone City's two generals and the deliberate arrangement by Chu Tian and others.

Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly asked, "If there are more time capsules, will the success rate be higher?"

"Theoretically, yes, but we can't be sure about the specific situation."

Hearing the Time Walkers' words, Gu Qinghan immediately looked at Chu Tian, and at the same time stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take care of the monsters outside for you.

And I'd like to ask those combat-oriented Time Walkers to help me with something."

Chu Tian's eyes curved into crescent moons, but he still pretended to be nonchalant: "Oh, what are you saying? How could I possibly let you make a move?"

Despite his words, the guy had already stood up and gone to open the door.

Zheng Shanhai glanced at the two of them, signaling for the others to go out and wait.

Finally, only an old man and a young man remained in the conference room.

Gu Qinghan looked at Zheng Shanhai's somewhat tired face and smiled, saying, "Uncle Hai, you can speak directly. The warriors outside are still fighting."

Zheng Shanhai also smiled, then suddenly bowed deeply to Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan wanted to help him up, but the other party spoke, "I can tell that you understand this game more than we do.

Helping you with this, I also have selfish motives.

If one day there's a problem that even a child like Chu Tian can't solve, I hope you can help him once."

Gu Qinghan pursed his lips; the other party's tone lacked any dignity of a superior.

It was as if the person standing before him was merely a kind and amiable uncle next door.

A few seconds later, Gu Qinghan helped the other party up and replied with a smile, "Uncle Hai, rest assured, if that day truly comes, I will help.

Chu Tian is also half a friend of mine, even if he's a bit of a show-off."

After he finished speaking, he laughed heartily, and even Zheng Shanhai joined in the laughter.

"Go on. When I think that the future of Huaxia and even humanity might rest on the shoulders of you young people, I feel a bit ashamed..."

Zheng Shanhai patted Gu Qinghan's shoulder, and his brow seemed to relax considerably.

Gu Qinghan nodded, turned and left, following Chu Tian.

Meanwhile, Zheng Shanhai returned to his seat, picked up a walkie-talkie, and said, "Raise Gu Qinghan's authority in Shangjing Base to the highest level. Yes, the same as Chu Tian's."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, followed by a low "Received."

Then, Zheng Shanhai rubbed his temples, leaned back in his chair, and stared blankly at the conference room lights.

"Is this game meant to destroy humanity, or does it have some other purpose..."

As he pondered, he closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became even.

He was too tired, but Gu Qinghan's arrival allowed him to release a little pressure and get a moment of respite... Chu Tian led Gu Qinghan forward, and the scenery along the way surprised Gu Qinghan a bit.

It wasn't that the place was particularly prosperous, but rather that the buildings were very simple yet possessed a sense of order.

Along the way, various people could be seen, and there was even a specially designated market.

Clearly, this place had been rebuilt quite well.

"You guys are preparing to expand the base's area, aren't you?"

Seeing some workers still under construction, Gu Qinghan also looked at Chu Tian beside him and asked.

Chu Tian nodded, not intending to hide anything: "It's not just us; all military forces that have contacted us are rebuilding and expanding.

While more people don't necessarily mean greater strength, fewer people will definitely be constrained.

Speaking of which, didn't you establish Whale Fall City? Do you need to take a batch of workers with you?

The current workers are all Professionals; their work efficiency is much, much higher than before."

Gu Qinghan shook his head; the past workers in Stone City were already sufficient.

He thought for a moment, the dragon's prophecy could definitely be shared, so he warned, "The Phoenix side should have mentioned the dragon's prophecy to you. I think it's best not to expend too much effort on expansion right now.

There are too many monsters now; it's better to focus on improving strength.

If dragons or even more powerful creatures truly appear one day, these brick and tile buildings will definitely crumble instantly."

Chu Tian nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Actually, we discussed this point in a meeting before. This is for expanding houses for new survivors to join later.

Once these buildings are completed, we might have to strengthen the training and cultivation of combat professions."

Gu Qinghan nodded; it was good that the other party understood this point.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, the buildings in front gradually thinned out, and even faint sounds of battle could be heard.

After walking a little further, this area had clearly been designated as a combat zone.

Gu Qinghan looked ahead; on a steel-reinforced watchtower, several Professionals unleashed their long- brewing skills.

But a few seconds later, a round stone, like a comet, smashed towards them.
