“Boss…mother, which one of these people is the Boss?” Zhang Mengqian whispered.

He wasn’t sure if the person in front of him was the Boss’s wife, after all, it was only Yang Yang’s one-sided claim. So when he called her “Boss’s wife”, he hesitated slightly.

Yang Yang glanced at him: “You’d better call me that together, or others will think your Boss is effeminate.”

Saying that, Yang Yang looked at the shop assistant: “Hey, take those two clothes for him to try on, find his size.”

In the mall of District 5, Yang Yang was shopping with the young boy. This was a request from Qing Chen, asking her to help the young boy buy some clothes and a new phone.

Just like everything a normal boy would receive from his parents.

Zhang Mengqian’s old phone was broken beyond repair; it was a wonder it still turned on.

At this moment, the young boy had a new phone and was curiously searching for news about City 22. He knew it was related to the Boss.

There were countless media outlets in the Federation. Except for Hope Media, almost all of them were unscrupulous media outlets using gimmicks to attract traffic. Among them, the ‘New Federation News’ was a representative of unscrupulous media, never caring whether what they reported was true or not.

Therefore, this Federation also gave birth to another dark profession: independent express reporters.

These independent express reporters were not affiliated with any media. They roamed the city, looking for all crime scenes, grabbing first-hand information. Whoever could shoot the clearest, most detailed, and most complete footage could sell their news at a very high price.

Once, the most notorious independent express reporter in the Federation was Duan Daowei. At the scene of a murder, he knew the injured needed emergency treatment but did not call the police, and stubbornly filmed the entire murder process.

Later, he was no longer satisfied with filming but began to create murder cases for his filming.

At this time, all the media in the Federation were scrambling to report what had happened in City 22: the first incident was the assassination of Shendai Yunhe, and the second was the consecutive assassination attempts on Shendai Consortium’s Time Travelers.

The media listed many suspects, and without any evidence, they put all the suspected people online.

Qing Chen’s photo was also among these suspects.

Zhang Mengqian had never seen Qing Chen’s real Face[-], but he knew that ‘Chen Sui’ was not the Boss’s real appearance, so he was curious.

Yang Yang glanced at him and said, “He is your Boss. He will have to tell you himself…Ah, you are his first messenger, shouldn’t there be some kind of ceremony? Or should I go kill that person from the Dragon Mark Gang to celebrate for you? To bring good luck!”

Zhang Mengqian twitched his mouth. How could this Boss’s wife’s thinking be so erratic?

He cautiously asked, “What kind of person is the Boss?”

Yang Yang looked at the ceiling and thought for a moment: “A coward? I’ve run the wheels over his Face[-]

, and he’s still saying ‘Goodnight, Macabaka’ there.”

Zhang Mengqian couldn’t help but laugh and cry. What was this all about? It seemed that if he wanted to know what kind of person the Boss was, he would have to observe himself later.

At this time, Yang Yang suddenly became unusually serious: “Your Boss’s people, they all look indifferent on the surface, but have fire in their hearts and romance in their bones. They never stay in one place for too long and will never live a monotonous life. The stars and the sea are their destination.”

Zhang Mengqian was a little awestruck for a moment, then immediately fell into gloom.

He suddenly asked, “Boss’s wife, will you and the Boss leave City 22 later?”

Yang Yang looked at him strangely: “You have to leave too. He asked me to take you with me. Just leave the matters here to Lao Luo and the others. You don’t need to stay here.”

“Ah?” Zhang Mengqian was surprised for a moment.

At this moment, the Federation media reported news again: the sniper in City 22 had just killed again and successfully escaped…

…

…

In the dark, airless sewer, Qing Chen sat on a damp, decaying pipe, holding a phone: “Hey, you’re a member of the Shendai Consortium, right? Is it really okay for you to secretly tell me when Shendai Kongyu uses the Cloud Mirror?”

In the sewer, only two holes on the manhole cover let in light, shining on his head.

For two days, Qing Chen had evaded the Shendai Consortium’s pursuit countless times. It wasn’t because his evasion skills were so exquisite, but mainly because Shendai Yunluo had been informing him.

Every time Shendai Kongyu used the Cloud Mirror, he would find a way to pass the message to Shendai Yunluo, and then Shendai Yunluo would promptly pass it on to Qing Chen…

With such an inside man, it would be difficult for Qing Chen to be caught even if he wanted to be.

Shendai Yunluo laughed on the phone: “We’re friends, how could I let a friend die at the hands of others? I have to kill them myself.”

“You’re so twisted,” Qing Chen sighed, “You must really crave friends.”

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, Shendai Yunluo said calmly: “From the day I was born, I was put into the entire Shendai Internal Affairs Office’s database, and someone was constantly observing my growth, then giving me the strictest education. But this wasn’t for me to work for the family, but because my father was just a small person within Shendai, and I could become the shell of some big person at any time. In such a cursed family, how can there be true friends?”

Qing Chen asked: “What about Shendai Yunxiu and Shendai Kongyu? Don’t they count?”

Shendai Yunluo was silent for a moment: “They’re just like-minded.”

Qing Chen said: “Then you shouldn’t Cultivate. They won’t take over the bodies of C-Class or lower Metahumans. You’ll become a fool.”

Shendai Yunluo chuckled: “If I don’t Cultivate, how can I end this cursed fate?”

“You’re really not afraid that I’ll tell the other Shendai people about what you just said,” Qing Chen muttered.

“I’m not afraid. After all, me being alive is in your best interest,” Shendai Yunluo said: “I won’t say much more. I know you’re hiding in the sewers right now. Get out and escape.”

“Why?” Qing Chen raised his eyebrows: “I’m doing pretty well here.”

“Do you really think the Conglomerate can’t handle the sewers?” Shendai Yunluo laughed: “Every Conglomerate has some secret military technology, and the Shendai Consortium happens to have one to deal with sewer fighters. Also, Shendai Kongyu and the others are already in a completely signal-shielded area. They will use the Cloud Mirror irregularly from now on. You have to figure it out yourself.”

Qing Chen smiled: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely live longer than you.”

Saying this, he hung up the phone.

To be honest, Qing Chen felt that his interaction with Shendai Yunluo was a bit strange. Both of them knew that they would become enemies in the future, each with their own interests.

But at this moment, neither of them had murderous intent; it was as if they were real friends.

At this moment, hundreds of Shendai soldiers were driving multi-functional vehicles from the Garrison Troops military district in City 22 to various corners of the city.

Soon, after all the soldiers arrived, they opened the black boxes in the vehicles.

A soldier put on a Neural Link helmet next to the box, and then hundreds of palm-sized, black mechanical spiders gushed out of the black box into the sewer like a tide.

They had six pairs of eyes on their heads, observing from all angles. They could even use night vision mode to transmit all images to the monitoring command center in real-time.

The mechanical spiders moved very quickly, advancing at almost 40 kilometers per hour.

A total of 18 drop-off points in the city. Thousands of mechanical spiders quickly spread throughout all the sewers in the city to find Qing Chen’s hiding place.

This was the reconnaissance soldier of modern warfare in the Inner World. A soldier proficient in Neural Link could cover a reconnaissance range of 40 kilometers.

The core of the mechanical spiders also contained high explosives, which could be detonated at any time when they encountered an enemy.

Some people once said that Neural Link brain-computer interfaces and unmanned machines are the direction of small-scale warfare.

However, after the mechanical spiders completely sealed off the sewer system of City 22, the Garrison Troops suddenly found that the entire sewer was “spotless,” and there was no trace of the assassin!

This assassin seemed to be a prophet, escaping pursuit time and again, even the pursuit artifact Cloud Mirror failed!

A mechanical spider suddenly found a piece of paper ‘stuck’ on the wall in the dark sewer, on which someone had crudely drawn a “Joker” and a smiley Face[-].

The soldier who controlled the spiders using Neural Link was stunned. Can’t you afford a deck of cards?

You can't even afford cards and you’re still pretending!

…

…

A military officer in a ten-story office building in District 3 faced the Time Travelers in front of him: “The reason for summoning you all temporarily is also due to the recent urgent situation. As you all know, there is an assassin currently hunting down all Time Travelers within the family, so we must be on guard.”

The officer: “Rest assured and stay here. There are Garrison Troops guarding the area. After the ancestor’s funeral and the return of the masters to City 22, you won’t have to worry about this. Besides, we have already laid a dragnet throughout the city. Perhaps we will soon apprehend him.”

At this moment, everyone felt the stairs tremble slightly.

Even the lights on the ceiling were swaying.

“Earthquake!” the officer shouted, “Emergency evacuation immediately!”

These trained Time Travelers quickly hid under the tables, and cups rolled on the floor.

The building tilted more and more. At this time, someone noticed something was wrong.

The construction strength of buildings in the Inner World would not cause building collapse under this intensity of earthquake. Moreover, the taller buildings outside did not even shake!

“What’s going on?” someone panicked.

The officer suddenly stood up and stumbled to the window to check, only to see that the ten-story Garrison Troops dormitory building, the lower two floors, had completely turned into sand!

The bricks on the wall were still continuously turning into sand and falling down, like a waterfall of yellow earth.

The yellow sand continuously stirred on the foundation, eroding and breaking the steel bars with high-speed friction!

All the Time Travelers became lambs confined in this building.

Some tried to jump from the building, but soon they found that the entire building began to turn into sand, burying everyone under the quicksand!

On the open space on the other side of the building, the soil suddenly transformed into a sentence: Zard is responsible for this attack.

At this moment, the officer suddenly understood that the assassin kept sniping the Time Travelers because he anticipated that when the casualties reached a certain number, the Shendai Consortium would surely protect the Time Travelers collectively.

Yes, only in this way could time be saved!

But under normal circumstances, no one could do this in the Garrison Troops camp unless an A-Class earth element Awakened One personally attacked!

And Qing Chen just happened to know that the Qing Family had such an earth element Awakened One, who could accomplish the task of annihilation and also take the blame!

Moreover, this person’s character seems to particularly like taking the blame…

Qing Chen had killed so many Shendai Time Travelers before, actually with the purpose of letting Shendai gather these Time Travelers together.

Of course, even if Shendai, after suffering such heavy losses and casualties, still dispersedly managed these Time Travelers, he wouldn’t mind going to each one’s door to kill them.

Until now, the four things Qing Chen had to do after his time travel had finally completed three.

The first was to break out of the A02 Secret Military Base and take away the intelligence personnel.

The second was to develop the new Guardians’ Union and gradually surround District 6 with slums. This matter could not yet be considered complete, but it was already showing signs of progress.

All that was needed was time to ferment.

The third was to kill all the Time Travelers who besieged him in the Outer World.

Now, there was only one last thing left: to kill Shendai Yunhe.
