Chapter Twenty-Five: War Comes

"A second shock? I'd heard the women of the setting moon talk about the second shock before. What exactly does the second shock mean? Wang Wenqing asked.

"Dr. Wang Wenqing, I don't know if you have noticed that the climate of the earth is very abnormal now? You're coming from the south. On the way, you should pass through the oasis-like city and also pass the deserted Gobi. Right? Shangguan Qing'er said.

"That's right. When I woke up, the city was like a rainforest with lush vegetation, but the area around Hanjiapu was bare, like the western wilderness. The distance between them should only be a few tens of kilometers! Wang Wenqing said thoughtfully.

"That's it. This is the first manifestation of the climate catastrophe. Starting at the equator, the swarm and darkness are gradually eroding towards the higher latitudes, the climate is becoming more and more abnormal, and the ocean currents are becoming more and more unstable, and the city may be sunny today, and tomorrow it may be ushered in a storm or even a blizzard. At this rate, the whole world will gradually fall into continuous natural disasters, and the natural disasters will be followed by insect disasters, which no master can stop, and then all mankind will perish, and no one will be spared! Shangguan Qing'er said solemnly.

"Can you manipulate the Earth's climate? If what you call 'mystical forces' really exist, then how do they control it all? Wang Wenqing asked puzzled.

"Good. Finally back to our main topic for today. That's our mission, Dr. Wenqing Wang. Presumably, that night, you saw that huge monster that suddenly appeared in the center of the city, right? We call it, 'Worm Emperor'. Shangguan Qing'er said with a smile.

"What a majestic name, and it really deserves it. I've seen the moon attack it like crazy, and I've seen it command the swarm to attack the humans. Why did Yuzuki attack it? What exactly do they want from the 'Worm Emperor'? Wang Wenqing frowned and asked.

"Doctor, listen to me. ' The origin of the 'Worm Emperor' is extraordinary, and every spatial crack is guarded by one such 'Worm Emperor', whose mission is to continuously send troops to the earth while preventing humans from entering in reverse. And this worry is actually superfluous, because the moment humans enter the spatial rift, they will be torn apart. In Huating City, there is also a spatial rift, so there is also a 'Worm Emperor' here, codename: Titan.

"The 'Insect Emperor' generally does not appear on the surface of the earth, they lurk in the dimensional rifts they guard, and only when the rifts are attacked, they will emerge from the cracks and launch defenses. As the ruler of all insect tides in a region, the defense and attack power of the 'Insect Emperor' are amazing, but they are not indestructible, in the early stage of the catastrophe, human beings have killed some 'Insect Emperor' under the joint attack of missiles, warplanes, and warships. In their bodies, in addition to some precious materials that can also be found on other monsters, there are also two priceless treasures, namely the Heart of the Swarm and the Emperor Crystal ......"

"The Heart of the Swarm? Emperor Crystal? What exactly is the use? Wang Wenqing asked.

"That's why we're here. The Heart of the Swarm is a gem in the Space Lord's brain that manipulates the Swarm to attack humans. Although people can't use it to manipulate the swarm yet, experiments have shown that within a certain range where the 'Heart of the Swarm' is located, all the swarms will automatically retreat and dare not violate it at all, as if they have received some kind of induction! Shangguan Qing'er said.

"No wonder! Now I understand. Xiyue wants to get it, build a fortress that the insect swarm will not dare to invade, and stabilize its position in the second impact! Wang Wenqing suddenly realized.

"I'm afraid they're asking for more than that. Their leader, called Xuan'er? Victoria, a mixed-race girl, has seen her abilities. This woman is extremely terrifying, in the entire southern seas, and even in the entire southern China, she is a notorious bandit leader, she does not just kill to survive, but also kills wantonly in order to satisfy her perverted desire to kill, she wants to get the 'Emperor Crystal'. 'Emperor Crystal' contains powerful spatial power, which can greatly increase the potential of potential people. In addition, there are rumors that as long as you get enough 'emperor crystals', you can ...... Turn back the clock! ”

"Going back in time? You mean, you can even go back to before the catastrophe, right? Wang Wenqing's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's a possibility. However, the heart of the swarm, the emperor crystal, these mysterious materials, human beings still know very little, and have not carried out systematic research, at present, bringing these things back is the top priority, which is also the goal of our trip. Doctor, these things must not fall into the hands of Xiyue, otherwise, Changshan City will be finished, this is the last large-scale human settlement in the north, if it is breached, hundreds of thousands of people will die, and moreover, Xiyue will definitely create more tragedies, this is their way of acting! Shangguan Qing'er said helplessly.

"I see, I see."

Wang Wenqing nodded, and raised his head after a long time:

"I've decided, join your team. I'll help you get what you want before the moonset. I like to think rationally, but I'm not a cold-blooded beast. I can still tell the difference between right and wrong, and you can trust me. ”

"Dr. Wang Wenqing, thank you for my grandfather and mother!" Shangguan Qing'er said excitedly.

"But!"

Suddenly, Wang Wenqing's words changed:

"I have a few things to make clear. First, since I am the strongest and probably the most intelligent person in this team, then I am also a cheeky self-proclaimed captain. In the future, the actions of the team must obey my arrangements in everything, and they are not allowed to act without my orders. Especially Su Dai'er and Fang Wen's potentials, they must listen to my arrangement, understand? ”

"Very reasonable." Qing'er nodded.

"Second, the heart of the swarm belongs to you, and I won't covet it, after all, I prefer offense to defense. But you said okay, the emperor crystal belongs to me, and I won't give you a piece. Wang Wenqing shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Good...... bar. Qing'er sighed.

"Third, although I am temporarily hired by you, my long-term goal is still to go to the Northern Laboratory. I have no interest in Changshan City, so as soon as the mission is completed, I will continue to go north, for which I need more powerful armor and equipment, and I need you to assist me as much as possible. In exchange, I'll build you stronger gear too, that's a fair deal, right? Wang Wenqing said with a smile.

"Deal." Qing'er also nodded happily.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Suddenly, the door opened, and the maid Dovi and a group of girls clapped into the room:

"Congratulations, it looks like Dr. Wang Wenqing and Miss Shangguan have finally reached an agreement, and with our strong alliance, killing that monster is just around the corner. ――Would you like to open a bottle of wine to celebrate? ”

"Get out that bottle of champagne. We don't need to keep it to please others, I believe that with Wang Wenqing's help, our trip will soon come to an end. Qing'er said generously.

"So, Dr. Wang Wenqing, Miss Shangguan, let's have a toast for the sake of an agreement!" Duo Wei poured a little champagne for everyone.

"Cheers!"

The cups collided in the air with a crisp sound......
