I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 349: Meeting Old Friends

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the next few months, the blue-skinned assassin became the focus of the Scarlet Research Institute’s research.

Other than studying its body structure,

Wei Wei began to torture it in an attempt to get it to speak the truth.

Especially regarding the detailed origin of the black positioning ball.

Language communication was easy to resolve.

The Scarlet Research Institute’s base was connected to an external database.

One could access the domain creatures language library established by the Milky Way Research Institute and do translation in real-time.

But the problem was that no matter how much the blue-skinned assassin was tortured, it kept its mouth shut about the truth.

Even if it was injected with an interrogation tool similar to a truth serum that could cause it to lose its mind, they still could not obtain any useful information.

The interrogation fell into a deadlock.

However, just as Wei Wei was about to change the interrogation method, an accident happened again.

Feng Qi was assassinated once more.

The assassin this time was even more powerful than the blue-skinned assassin. Even though Feng Qi had activated his Fury ability, he was almost no match for it.

Fortunately, Lu Yue arrived in time and captured the assassin alive again.

This time, the assassin was still blue-skinned with a third eye on its forehead. Clearly, it came from the same race as the previous assassin.

At the same time, a small black ball was also found in its body.

Assassinations happened one after another, Feng Qi realized that his current situation was very bad.

He was also certain that his silent deaths in the previous timelines were related to the blue-skinned assassins in the dark.

Due to the transformation using the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal in this timeline, he was stronger than before. Only then did he have the strength to resist the assassin.

He had clearly died in a strange way after being corroded mentally in the previous timelines.

But then came the question.

Why did the domain assassins want to assassinate him?

This was clearly not like the domain alliance, which accepted missions from powerful races to kill human geniuses.

No matter how bold those weak races were, they did not dare to infiltrate the Scarlet Research Institute.

Even if they sneaked in, they would easily be discovered at the security checkpoints.

After all, the strength of the Scarlet Research Institute was obvious. The guards inside and outside the base were not weaker than the top combat teams on the front line.

Coming here was purely courting death.

Therefore, the behavior of this blue-skinned domain race was very suspicious.

Considering this question from the perspective of benefits, Feng Qi could not think of anything on him that the blue-skinned assassin’s race would desire.

Judging from the way he died in the previous timeline, his corpse was still there after his death, which proved that they did not come for his body.

So, what were they up to?

The blue-skinned assassin’s behavior was surprisingly similar to Blackie’s.

It was a bizarre behavior without any reason or logic.

In the following days, in order to ensure his own safety, he kept Lu Yue with him the entire time.

To prevent assassinations from happening again.

Two months later, just as he had expected, an assassin appeared again.

This time, the assassin was extremely powerful. Even Lu Yue was troubled and suffered light injuries after the fight.

However, this time, he did not manage to leave the assassin alive and killed it.

The successive assassinations did not look good.

At the same time, Feng Qi had a question in his heart.

Since the blue-skinned assassins were so eager to kill him, why didn’t they send a group of them at once? Instead, they came one after another to court death.

This was another illogical point.

Reality was not a novel where the villains needed send minions from weak to strong to give the protagonist a chance to grow. Since they had decided to assassinate them, they would naturally do it decisively.

As for the exact reason, it was still unknown.

However, in the face of successive assassinations, he felt that he could not continue to stay in the Scarlet Research Institute.

If the subsequent assassins were even stronger, even Lu Yue might not be able to stop them. For now, there was only one person who had the ability to protect him.

Mu Qing.

In the past few years, Mu Qing had already formed the Dawn Domain Combat Team. Moreover, it had been promoted to one of the ten strongest combat teams in the shortest time.

He had originally planned to seek refuge only when Mu Qing formed the Dawn Army.

However, based on the current situation, he would be killed before that happened.

Just as he had guessed before entering this timeline, he might die young.

While Lu Yue could protect him with his strength, it was only temporary.

Judging from the three assassinations, perhaps the next assassin would have the strength to match Lu Yue and the following one would be even stronger than Lu Yue.

For now, getting Mu Qing’s protection was the best choice.

Although doing so might change the established future direction of the Dawn Army, staying in the Scarlet Research Institute and doing nothing was undoubtedly waiting for death. It would be even more impossible to come into contact with Mu Yao, who might appear in the future.

At this thought, Feng Qi took the initiative to hold a Scarlet highest-level meeting.

During the meeting, he explained his thoughts in detail.

In the end, the higher-ups of the Scarlet Research Institute agreed with his suggestion to go to Mu Qing in advance.

It was also decided that after he left, the Scarlet Research Institute would enter the secret base ahead of time to plan the future.

As for the interrogation of the assassins and the subsequent research, he would also inform his future self.

After the meeting, Feng Qi followed Wei Wei to the laboratory of the Genetics Department.

Before leaving, he decided to implant a special positioning device from the Scarlet Research Institute at the back of his neck.

This device would help the Scarlet Research Institute retrieve his brain and carry out the subsequent Brain in the Vat plan.

After the experiment ended, he contacted Mu Qing.

The call did not go through. It was obvious that she was busy.

Therefore, he sent her an email and began to wait for her reply.

After waiting for more than ten days, Mu Qing sent a reply. She gave him an address and added a smiling emoji.

After receiving Mu Qing’s reply, Feng Qi decided to officially go to the front line.

On this day, he brought Lu Yue out of the Scarlet Base.

In the open space outside the base, a private plane painted with the Scarlet Research Institute’s logo was parked.

Before getting on the plane, he carefully checked the items he carried in his backpack.

Especially a metal box labeled “Brain Repair”.

There were ten bottles of brain tissue activity restoration liquid stored in the box. They were the most important items he brought with him this time.

After a person died, the brain’s activity would not last long.

If he was at the front line, it was very likely that he would be brain dead before the Scarlet Research Institute could find his corpse.

Currently, the Scarlet Research Institute only had the brain retention technology and did not have the brain resurrection technology.

Therefore, these ten bottles of brain repair fluid were extremely important.

In Wei Wei’s words, he just needed to inject his brain before he died and wait for the warriors of the base to come and collect his corpse. The restorative liquid could maintain the activity of his brain to the greatest extent.

After the inspection, he brought Lu Yue onto the scarlet plane.

Under Wei Wei’s gaze, the private plane rose into the sky and flew towards Winterfrost.

A day later.

Under the guidance of the lights, the plane landed at the supply area airport north of Winterfrost.

This airport took up one-fifth of the entire supply area. It was huge.

There were more flights coming in and out every day than in Winterfrost.

The reason was very simple.

Although the Winterfrost Supply Area was only one of the supply areas at the front line, a large number of domain resources would still be sent to the various cities every day.

This airport was also specially established for this purpose.

If it was only the mobilization of domain warriors, they could completely follow the route from the supply area to Winterfrost City and fly out from its airport to other cities.

After getting off the plane, the temperature plummeted.

It was a sea of white. Heavy snow fall fell from the sky, it was as if they had arrived in a world of ice and snow.

Even the hot air they breathed out would turn into ice crystals in the air.

After taking his luggage, Feng Qi looked at Lu Yue, who was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

“How about a change of clothes?”

“No, I’m not cold.”

Upon hearing this, he, who only felt a chill immediately gave up the thought of changing.

He took out his phone and opened the map app. He put in the address provided by Mu Qing and pressed “navigate”.

Immediately, a route appeared on the navigation map.

“Let’s go.”

In the snowstorm, the two people in thin clothes set off towards the manor where the Dawn Domain Combat Team was.

Behind them, the Scarlet private plane that had completed this voyage also took off and returned the way it came.

This was the first time Feng Qi had come to the front line. Along the way, he looked around curiously.

This small town in the supply area was almost covered in snow. There were always city workers on the streets who had snow sweeping machines for cleaning and maintenance.

Apart from that, the city had all the necessary facilities.

The front line warriors they encountered along the way were basically fully armed even in the city.

He was not surprised.

Every supply area was the front line closest to the domain fields. It was also the area most prone to being attacked by domain transcendent creatures. They had to be in the combat ready stage at any time.

The current caution was all learned from past lessons.

The terrain of the Winter Resupply Area was about 23 kilometers long from north to south, and about 27 kilometers from east to west. A route connecting to Winterfrost City ran through the entire territory. The technological level here was even more developed than many areas in the city. There were figures of advanced technological products everywhere, and every street was filled with cameras.

Looking up, one could see a hundred-meter-tall tower in the center of the city.

This tower was also known as the watchtower.

In the room at the top, there were 24-hour watchmen responsible for observing the expansion of the domain fields to the north.

Over the years, many domain fields had been dispersed.

However, the battle line in the supply area did not advance much.

Many domain fields that had just been dispersed would be covered by the domain fields behind before long.

Therefore, the advancement of the supply area had been very slow.

The supply area, which was originally only used for transit, was also constantly being constructed into a supply city.

Following the navigation, Feng Qi and Lu Yue arrived at the area where the domain combat teams were stationed in the city.

This was a large manor complex. The names of the domain combat teams were put at the entrance of each manor.

After searching for a while, he came to a metal door.

The words “Dawn Domain Combat Team” were put on the side of the gate, and below it was the S-grade Domain Combat Team certification by the Combat Team Headquarters.

At this moment, a familiar figure was waiting at the half-open metal gate.

Their gazes met.

“Long time no see, Alt Qi.”

Amidst the heavy snow, old friends met. In a daze, the scenes in his memories surfaced in his mind.

“Senior Sister, long time no see.”

As they looked at each other and smiled, a familiar feeling surged into their hearts..
