Chapter 681: 409, Radiant Trumpet

“It is anticipated that in three days, the Greenland waters will face a rare stormy weather, with a cold front coming from the Arctic Circle moving southward, wind speed at 70 knots.”

Aboard the Arctic, the “Galileo” satellite navigation system broadcasted a simple weather forecast, yet it was crucial.

At this moment, the skies above the Greenland waters suddenly cleared up.

Even the sea surface calmed down considerably, and the ripples on the sea looked like a blue wool carpet, smooth yet textured.

This was the sea as people imagined it, not the dark sea that raged with storms and waves.

Hearing the weather forecast in the captain’s cabin, Qing Chen knew that everything he had been waiting for was finally about to arrive. A wind speed of 70 knots could be called a hurricane.

The hurricane, reaching speeds of 130 kilometers per hour, would whip up towering waves, and the Knight would undergo a transformation after the baptism of the storm.

According to Qing Chen’s original plan, he would fish in the darknet, waiting for criminals to bring him a sum of money, then throw them all into the sea to feed the fishes.

Then he could wait for the storm with all his heart.

From the beginning, the purpose of posting messages on the smuggling channel was merely to break even.

However, when he discovered that Chilton and the others were Time Travelers, things got interesting.

Qing Chen was curious about what changes the Time Travelers from North America would make in the Outer World, and he also wanted to know how the Time Travelers from North America differed from them.

Both sides had mechanical limbs; that was a commonality.

But it seemed that the Genetic Potion in North America was more abundant, and there was also a trend of abuse.

In the Federation, very few people mastered the development of Genetic Potion, basically each in their power group, which was more mature and standardized. Those with strong side effects had been eliminated.

For example, the BBC-001 potion that caused an abnormal pair of flesh wings to grow on the back after injection.

For example, the NCC-001 potion that made the leg hair grow into barbs after injection.

These were inferior Genetic Potion products that had appeared in the Federation’s history, and now they had disappeared.

However, many Genetic Potion sequences in North America still seemed to be in chaotic development, similar to how gun control is extremely lax in the Outer World’s North America. In the corresponding Inner World region of North America, people were still mixing Genetic Potion in private.

This is probably the result of different cultural attributes between the two regions.

However, what Qing Chen was most curious about was that North America also had Taboo, wondering whether Chilton and others had any on them…

What Qing Chen did not expect was that after Chilton and Yesenia installed eavesdropping devices, thinking that Zhang Jian and others had discovered their identity as Time Travelers, they surprisingly made no attempt to conceal their plan.

As they sat in the kitchen eating the sandwiches Qing Chen had made, Chilton said, “Before the storm arrives, we must survey Positions A2, A4, A7 thoroughly. The thing mentioned in the captain’s letter is of great interest to me.”

Qing Chen found it strange upon hearing this. What on this ship could interest a Time Traveler?

At this point, Yesenia curiously asked, “So, what are we planning to do after we get the gold from the sunken ship?”

A young man thought for a moment and said, “Last time I went through the Inner World, I thought hard about it. If nobody in the Outer World Europe becomes a Time Traveler, then it’s very likely that the corresponding continent in the Inner World still exists and remains fertile. Once we return to the Inner World, we could slowly trade the gold for an airship. Maybe we can, just like Columbus, discover a new continent. After all, we’re not too far from here…”

Chilton laughed, “What you can think of, the Future Organization can definitely think of. They haven’t gone to explore, so there must be a problem.”

Zhang Jian was stunned, “You are Time Travelers?!”

Chilton glanced at Zhang Jian, seeming to find it a bit funny, “No need to pretend anymore, don’t you already know? But I think your Acting Skill is very good, showing surprise while your body language is full of details.”

Zhang Jian was confused; he truly didn’t know.

At this moment, the Arctic’s captain had even begun to doubt his life. He didn’t know what had happened, but his ship was filled with Time Travelers.

Before, people had only mentioned Time Travelers during chats at the Walnut Tavern, but since Europe doesn’t produce Time Travelers, they were quite rare.

Zhang Jian silently observed these people, thinking whether they could, like Qing Chen and Yang Yang, pull up crab cages with their bare hands, or perhaps even more impressively?

Qing Chen and Yang Yang were, in a way, the first and second Time Travelers Zhang Jian had ever seen in person, which gave him a strange impression: Time Travelers seemed to be very powerful.

Even though Zhang Jian had also seen news about the miserable fate of some Time Travelers, the ones he had seen in person were indeed formidable.

So, Chilton and the others were categorized with Qing Chen and Yang Yang.

Qing Chen, on the side, almost laughed out loud at Zhang Jian’s expression; it seemed only he knew what misunderstanding had occurred.

However, their conversation did pique his interest.

Qing Chen had asked Qing’s Shadow about related issues; nowadays, consortia have their satellites, so they can see the situation in the European Continent.

Indeed, the European Continent corresponding to the Outer World had mostly sunk beneath the sea in the Inner World, and the other half was covered by vast forests. It was a whole expanse of Taboo Land No. 001 that spread out, devouring the original topography of the land.
