“Captain,” Dongwa lay back, relaxed and quiet behind the rocky mountain cover: “Where did this person come from? Why did he hitch a ride with us?” Jiacuo replied: “He said he climbed from the south slope, then skied down from Mount Everest to the north slope. I thought he was lying at first, but now I kind of believe him.” Yaowa suddenly said: “Captain, on the way, I told him I was a sharpshooter, and he said he was too. I said I could hit a coin within 10 meters, and he later said he could hit a coin within 3000 meters… At that time, I also thought he was lying.” Jiacuo was stunned: “Why didn’t you tell me about this?” Dongwa: “Even if I told you, you have to believe me first.” Jiacuo asked: “What else did he say? Did he say what he does?” Dongwa said: “He said he’s a repairman. I asked him what he repairs, if he can fix my tractor, and he said he repairs people, not tractors.” “Repair people? How does he repair them?” Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 This was the first time he had ever seen someone describe murder so politely! “Captain, there are more than twenty people over at Deji’s place. Do you think it’s too dangerous to let him go alone to hunt them down?” Xiaowa asked. Jiacuo recalled Qing Chen’s speed, which could create afterimages in his vision, and lying on the ground, he replied: “I’m already thinking about whether Deji’s wife will remarry after she becomes a widow.” The poachers had an old grudge with the patrol team. They gathered more than twenty people to ambush Zaxi, confident that the patrol team would pass by here. According to Deji, the patrol team was already short-handed. If they could wipe out the patrol team here, they could hunt without any fear from summer to autumn. However, all the plans changed after that black sniper rifle appeared. The poachers carried their guns and ran towards the hillside. The scene was extremely bloody. It scared these hardened criminals out of their wits. Deji asked: “Didn’t you notice anyone with a sniper rifle just now?” “No, that person’s clothes were completely different from Jiacuo’s. I thought he was a mountaineer who hitched a ride,” someone said, “Now that I think about it, he’s probably a helper Jiacuo brought in from somewhere else!” The war between poachers and the patrol team on this land has lasted for fifty years, but a sniper is a completely new element… At this time, Deji looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd: “Hey, Zhang Cuo, what do we do now?” Zhang Cuo’s expression was calm yet fierce: “What’s there to be afraid of a sniper? There’s a rocky mountain ahead, we’ll hide there and wait for him to chase us. As long as I get a chance to get close, he’s dead.” Deji felt relieved. Yes, this cellmate he met in prison was indeed formidable; he heard he was quite a Time Traveler. Time Travelers were rare in the entire snowy region. After the time jump, due to the geographical location of the Federation cities, Time Travelers were mainly concentrated in central China. They didn’t go to the snowy region or Xinjiang. After all, in the Inner World, those two provinces had become the No. 001 Forbidden Zone. After Zhang Cuo was released from prison, he originally planned to go to an electronics factory in the southeastern coastal region to tighten screws. However, as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he became a Time Traveler and a Gene Soldier. Without a word, he immediately bought a return train ticket, intending to return to this familiar place to become powerful and create even greater achievements. Zhang Cuo wasn’t short of money. When he sold animal skins abroad, he could also sell Inner World’s import and export drugs to foreign tycoons, especially tycoons in the Middle East, who offered extremely high prices. But just having money wasn’t fun. He also wanted to establish his own power here. “Quickly, we’re only a few dozen meters away. Quickly hide in the rocky mountain and wait for him to come over,” Zhang Cuo lowered his voice. However, as soon as they hid in the rocky mountain, they saw that Qing Chen was already waiting there. No one knew how he ran faster than them. The poachers hurriedly fired, but the bullets hung in front of Qing Chen, one by one, as if they were filming a science fiction movie… In the blink of an eye, this max-level player wiped out all the poachers… Zhang Cuo still wanted to fight using his F-Class Gene Soldier identity, but he was knocked to the ground as soon as they fought. He felt a little desperate because during the battle, he hadn’t even seen the opponent’s face, and he didn’t know what kind of strength they had. The difference was too great! Qing Chen didn’t kill anyone anymore. He had heard from Xingwa that the patrol team received a reward for capturing poachers—five thousand yuan per person. The poachers lay on the ground wailing, and Qing Chen looked down at them condescendingly: “Who is the Time Traveler?” Logically speaking, the physical fitness of Gene Soldiers should be different from other people, but just now everyone had been subdued in an instant, and he hadn’t had time to identify who was the Time Traveler… At this time, Deji was still struggling on the ground, shouting: “Zhang Cuo, kill him!” Zhang Cuo looked up, wanting to see what kind of Time Traveler this suddenly appeared person was, but as soon as he saw Qing Chen’s appearance, he was shocked. He said painfully, “Why are you here?!” Others might not know Qing Chen, but he, a Time Traveler who mixed around in the Federation, could he not know Qing Chen? Who was Qing Chen now? He was a truly powerful figure in the Inner World, and anyone who paid a little attention to current affairs could see him on the news every day! In front of such a figure, what was he? Zhang Cuo actually had some connections with Qing Chen in the Inner World: After he time-jumped, he became the second-in-command of a gang in City 13. At first, he had a great time, bullying others and being arrogant. Until the Guardians' Union appeared. Those ruthless members of the Guardians' Union flew over walls and houses and cleaned up all the gangs in the lower three districts. If it weren’t for the Chen Family’s encirclement and suppression of the Guardians’ Union, Zhang Cuo would still be working on the sewing machine! It’s just that Zhang Cuo couldn’t understand why Qing Chen would appear in such a place. Such a big shot, what are you doing in such a remote place! While he was thinking, Deji was still shouting from afar: “Zhang Cuo, kill him!” Zhang Cuo trembled, almost getting up and kneeling to Deji: “I beg you, can you just shut up…” Qing Chen looked at Zhang Cuo and chuckled: “Which city’s Time Traveler are you?” Zhang Cuo hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied: “City 13. You may not have seen me, but Xiao Wu under you must have seen me. Please spare me.” “Oh?” Qing Chen looked at him in surprise: “You also know Xiao Wu?” “Yes, he personally sent me to work on the sewing machine,” Zhang Cuo replied. Qing Chen laughed and cried: “So you’re not doing anything decent even in the Inner World. Alright, I’ll have Jiacuo send you to jail. So you won’t harm society anymore.” He shouted towards the mountain: “Jiacuo, come catch people, bring handcuffs!” After a while, Jiacuo and the others rushed over, and seeing the poachers lying on the ground, they were all dumbfounded. “Don’t be stunned, I still have to rush back to the mainland,” Qing Chen said with a smile: “The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave.” “Yes, alright!” Xingwa excitedly ran over and kicked Deji: “You wanted to be tough, you wanted to beat up Uncle Zaxi!” Jiacuo handcuffed everyone one by one, found the poachers’ pickup truck, and stuffed them all into the truck bed. He somewhat embarrassedly returned the gold bars to Qing Chen: “We were a little unreasonable before. If it weren’t for you this time, we might have all died here. Qing Chen smiled and pushed the gold bars back: “The fare is the fare, they’re two different things.” At this time, Zhang Cuo was still struggling, turning his head to shout to Qing Chen: “Give me a chance, I won’t do it again. When I get back, I’ll actively find Xiao Wu to work on the sewing machine. Please don’t put me in jail in the Outer World.” Qing Chen ignored him, but Jiacuo was curious. Before leaving, he approached Zhang Cuo and asked, “Do you know that person?” Zhang Cuo was stunned: “You don’t know that person?” “Is he also a legendary Time Traveler? How powerful is he?” Jiacuo’s curiosity grew. Zhang Cuo: “You’ve stumped me. I don’t even deserve to know how powerful he is.” Everyone helped Zaxi rebuild his tent. Qing Chen asked: “Does Zaxi need to go to the hospital?” Jiacuo said nonchalantly: “No, we’re cheap and tough; we’ll be fine.” Qing Chen sat in the pickup truck and started off again. He felt the spring breeze and felt that after gaining strength, he seemed to always focus on bigger goals, ignoring some of the good little things. For example, fighting poachers, for example, acting as a hero. In the truck bed, Xingwa asked: “Did you really ski down from Mount Everest?” Qing Chen nodded: “Yes.” “Can you really hit a coin from 3000 meters away?” Qing Chen pondered for a moment: “The wind speed can’t exceed level 8.” Amidst Dongwa’s constant exclamations, the convoy drove further and further away. Qing Chen asked: “Dongwa, why did you become a patrol member? The pay is not high, and it’s dangerous.” Xingwa scratched his head: “No reason, I just feel that those people poaching is wrong, and someone needs to do something about it.” Qing Chen smiled: “That’s good.” The patrol members in the car sang a song, both desolate and powerful. Approaching the time jump, Jiacuo and Xingwa and others stood at the entrance of Pinghe Airport to see Qing Chen off. Jiacuo hugged Qing Chen and said: “Come back to see us when you’re free.” Qing Chen thought for a moment and said: “After I get back, I’ll have someone set up a special fund to combat poaching, to provide you with some financial assistance. Of course, the main thing is to help the families of the sacrificed patrol members, to lighten your burden.” “Thank you very much,” Jiacuo said seriously: “You’re a good person!” Qing Chen pondered for a moment and said with a smile: “Good person is too high of a compliment, but I’ll try my best. Goodbye!” After saying that, Qing Chen turned and walked into the airport. After a brief rest, he was destined to embark on a new journey.
