Chapter 879: Change

To the Old Task Force, the biggest problem now was that they didnt know where End Year City was.

Long Yuehong thought for a moment and took the initiative to say, We can only consider returning to Cliff Village and waiting for End Year Citys people to head south to trade.

He had always been proactive when it came to matters regarding the company and the Kalendariums rearing of humans. After all, this directly affected his family, relatives, friends, and future life.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and said, Summer is approaching. The people of End Year City will definitely seize this window to make more transactions and stock up on supplies.

Since End Year Citys exact location needed to be kept confidential, they could only send people south. This was an opportunity.

Upon seeing that his suggestion had obtained his team leaders approval, Long Yuehong couldnt hide his joy and added, We can go to Cliff Village to replenish our electricity and food.

At this point, he exclaimed and frowned. When we submitted the application, we only declared two missionsfinding the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes exact location and exploring Ceningmis. Both have been completed, so the company will definitely be suspicious if we dont return soon.

The higher-ups would feel that the Old Task Force had thoughts to themselves and that they were busy with or planning something.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

Jiang Baimian smiled after hearing Long Yuehongs words. I havent reported the matter of finding the Kalendarias Sons remains to the company.

In other words, in Pangu Biologys records, the Old Task Force had yet to complete all their missions.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Shang Jianyao clapped again.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and didnt say a word. She could sense that Hey was relatively quiet today as if he were only a mood maker.

This was understandable.

However, the environment in Ceningmis has already changed. If it no longer overlaps with the New World, it wont be long before someone notices its abnormality, Bai Chen reminded her team leader. Besides, doesnt our arrival at Cliff Village mean that the mission is completed?

If they hadnt finished exploring Ceningmis, normal people would choose to replenish their energy and supplies in Gesterbourg. They wouldnt cross Icefield to return to Cliff Village.

Jiang Baimian smiled. To the humans in Gesterbourg and the surroundings, Ceningmis is a forbidden zone. Unless something unexpected happens, n.o.body will specially go over to check on it. Only when summer comes and a large number of Ruin Hunters enter Icefield and occasionally pa.s.s by will the problem with Ceningmis be discovered.

She meant that her team still had plenty of time.

There was still about a month before summer in Icefield.

As for Cliff Village, lets go to Gesterbourg to stock up on supplies and strive to last a little longer in Icefield. Lets see if we can wait until the southward-heading caravan of End Year City comes, added Jiang Baimian.

Everyone knew very well where they would be waitingit was on either side of the road that led from Icefield to Cliff Village.

Yes. Genava moved his metal neck up and down. We still have to hand the items Aester wants to Gitis.

They take up too much s.p.a.ce! Shang Jianyao pointed at his and Genavas bulging tactical backpacks.

Long Yuehong scoffed. Havent you always liked missions that help people fulfill their wishes? Why would you disdain the corresponding items occupying s.p.a.ce?

Shang Jianyao replied seriously, They are squeezing my father.

Some of his fathers remains were in his backpack, and another portion was with Genava.

Long Yuehong was speechless.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Baimian cleared her throat and said seriously, Its very clear what we should do next. Well head to Gesterbourg tomorrow.

The night pa.s.sed uneventfully.

After dawn, the five Old Task Force members were in no rush to get into the car. They lined up on the flat hill and faced Ceningmis as they held their chests and closed their eyes.

They mourned in silence for the other Old Task Force members.

Each of these people played many roles. They were the children, parents, partners, relatives, and friends of others.

After three minutes, Jiang Baimian opened her eyes and whispered, Everyone, dont worry. The real reason for the Old Worlds destruction is about to surface. When the time comes, the wind will pa.s.s the news to you on our behalf.

With that said, she bowed deeply.

As a team that investigated the cause of the Old Worlds destruction and the Heartless diseases origins, she was very respectful and sorrowful to the predecessors who had sacrificed themselves in Ceningmis.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao shouted, For all of humanity!

He then bowed deeply as well.

Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genava did the same.

White Knights, Gesterbourg.

The moment the Old Task Force returned, they sensed a strange atmosphere in the air.

There were clearly more knights and soldiers wearing alloy armor coming and going. The Ruin Hunterswho were supposed to be activeappeared timid.

Nervous! After leaving Ceningmis for a period of time, Shang Jianyao returned to normal.

Why are you nervous? Jiang Baimianwho was driving the jeep with the help of manual navigationglanced at the pa.s.senger seat.

Shang Jianyao looked out and excitedly said, Could they be sent by the White Knights headquarters to capture us?

Why would we deserve this? Jiang Baimian laughed.

The Old Task Force had always been law-abiding in Gesterbourg. They only attacked the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes people and didnt do anything out of line that would attract attention.

Were worth tens of thousands of Oray! Shang Jianyao seemed rather proud of this.

Long Yuehong muttered, To a large faction like the White Knights, tens of thousands of Oray is nothing.

Any faction is made up of people, and people have selfish motives. To an individual, tens of thousands of Oray is enough to buy their lives. Shang Jianyao was prepared to enter a war of words.

Thats right, thats right. Long Yuehong couldnt be bothered to argue with him.

Before long, Jiang Baimian drove the car to the Fire & Iron Hotels entrance.

The receptionist today was Gitis.

Upon seeing that n.o.body was around, Shang Jianyao directly asked the former intelligence peddler, Did something happen recently? I feel like there are many more knights in Gesterbourg.

Gitis looked up at him and calmly said, One Knight silver coin.

Theres a fee for that? Shang Jianyao was very surprised.

Apart from me, you wont be able to get the real reason from anywhere else, Gitis replied calmly.

Jiang Baimians heart stirred. She looked around and suppressed her voice. Youve Awakened?

Gitis combed the honey-colored hair by her ears and said happily, I have Heavenly Ears again!

She deliberately didnt mention what the other two abilities were.

When did this happen? Shang Jianyao asked happily as if he were the one who had Awakened.

Gitis replied with bright eyes, On the third day after you left, I dreamed of a bodhi tree and later Awakened.

Namo Annutara-Samyak-Subhuti. Shang Jianyao raised his right palm vertically in satisfaction and chanted a Buddhist proclamation.

Jiang Baimian was also happy for Gitis. She took out a Knight silver coin she had and handed it to the latter.

Gitis bluntly accepted the silver coins and suppressed her voice. It seems like the headquarters specially sent many powerhouses over to deal with the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute.

The company told the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes exact location to the White Knights? The various large factions are joining forces to deal with the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute?

These thoughts flashed through Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Jiang Baimians minds at the same time.

Do you know when it will begin? Shang Jianyao asked excitedly.

Gitis shook her head. That organization is very strong. It will probably take months to prepare.

Most importantly, the various factions have to coordinate well. Otherwise, whoever takes the lead will suffer The Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes strength isnt to be underestimated

Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.

Gitis looked around and asked instinctively like an intelligence peddler, Did you guys return from Ceningmis?

Yes. Shang Jianyao signaled for Genava to take off his backpack and take out the toy bear, building blocks, and other items.

Gitiss eyes widened slightly as she said in surprise, Did you really enter Ceningmis?

Furthermore, they came out alive!

However, she found it completely understandable after glancing at Genava. Ceningmis was forbidden to humans but not to robots.

Robots wouldnt contract the Heartless disease!

Thats right, thats right, Shang Jianyao admitted frankly. He then kindly told Gitis, Ceningmis is no longer in danger; you can organize a team to gather supplies. Yes, you have to pay attention. If its dark in Ceningmis, even at noon, you must not enter

Gitis was confused. She felt like she understood every word, but she didnt know what it meant when pieced together.

After a few seconds, she suddenly came to a realization and looked at Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian, and the others in surprise. You restored Ceningmis to normal?

Made that place no longer a forbidden zone?
