Chapter 343: Chapter 336: Time Travel Again

However, contrary to his wish, all they could feel was intense fluctuation in the atmosphere’s magical power. Subsequently, a layer of wave-like substance appeared on the frame of the Otherworld Gate in the distance. The Otherworld Gate was about to open.

"Moumou, send a message to the headquarters, alerting them to beware of gene weapon attacks!" Luo’er ordered loudly, "Everyone else, get on the city wall and close the Otherworld Gate no matter what!"

"Luo’er, listen to me," Cheng Ziang pulled him aside, glanced at the Otherworld Gate, and turned back to say, "My master and I will go directly through the Otherworld Gate. It will be faster. You all rush to close the Otherworld Gate and don’t wait for us."

"But you..." Luo’er said worriedly.

"It’s okay," Cheng Ziang patted his hand and said confidently, "Once we’re over there, we’ll be on our own territory. We’ll be back, so don’t worry about us!"

"You must be careful and avoid being accidentally hurt!" Luo’er reminded them.

"I know." Cheng Ziang nodded his head.

"Also, that gene weapon is likely to target the Yellow Race, and you have half of the Yellow Race genes. Remember, don’t get in contact with that thing." Luo’er continued to admonish.

"I know!" Cheng Ziang nodded his head.

"Go and be careful!" Luo’er said repeatedly.

"We are off!" Cheng Ziang said, bid farewell to Yalunte, and then headed towards the Otherworld Gate.

They’ve already changed into soldier uniforms, and even smeared a bit of mud on their faces to make it difficult for others to recognize their true identities. In addition to the swords they carried, they each had an old-fashioned bolt action rifle on their backs.

"What is a...gene weapon?" Yalunte couldn’t help but ask on the way.

Cheng Ziang gave him a glance and then said, "Suppose one day, the Aud people and the Bobulu people are at war. At this time, a contagious disease broke out among the Aud people, but the disease has no effect on the Bobulu people, even if they directly contact the diseased Aud people. This disease is called a gene weapon, because it only infects and kills people of a specific race."

"Are there such weapons?" Yalunte was surprised and asked. Although he knew that Earth’s technology was advanced, he never thought it could reach such a level.

"Of course, this type of weapon can only kill specific targets. Even if you mix Aud, Bobulu, and Blaiqi people together and then launch the weapon, it would only kill a specific target, such as the Aud people, and have no effect on the other two races." Cheng Ziang continued to explain.

"So you...can’t touch this stuff?" Yalunte thoughtfully continued to ask.

"I have half of the Earth’s blood, so I might be targeted by these weapons." Cheng Ziang explained.

"What do you mean?" Yalunte asked.

"Meaning, either my father or mother is from Earth, so I might become a target of this weapon." Cheng Ziang gave him a glance and said.

"But both your parents are Aud people." Yalunte paused, and then accidentally blurted out.

"What did you say?" Cheng Ziang turned his head and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Uh...I mean, you don’t look like a mixed race of Earth..." Realizing he almost slipped, Yalunte, with cold sweat on his back, hurriedly explained.

Cheng Ziang glanced at him for a while before he withdrew his gaze and said, "Regardless, I still have Earth’s blood in me, so I may still be in danger."

"Don’t worry, I will protect you, I am your master after all!" Yalunte banged his chest and said.

"Alright, be careful when you enter Earth later, don’t be careless, Earth’s bullets don’t discriminate." Cheng Ziang sighed and said.

The two of them walked down the street to the square, which was now filled with soldiers ready to fight. Unlike before, these soldiers were all without armor, each with a rifle on their shoulder. At first glance, they looked like a modern army from Earth.

In the center of the square, dozens of magicians were standing in a magic array, waving their magic wands to guide magical power into the Otherworld Gate. As the magical power was injected, the ripples on the Otherworld Gate became more and more visible.

Cheng Ziang immediately spotted the magician named Fu’en in the center of the magic array. If possible, he actually wanted to shoot him right now so that the Otherworld Gate could not be opened. However, regardless of his shooting skill, even if he hit Fu’en, he and Yalunte would definitely not be able to escape.

They stealthily moved to the back of the troops, and at this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the Otherworld Gate, and no one noticed the two of them approaching.

An ordnance officer was handing out potion capsules to the soldiers. Each soldier had to swallow one of these capsules.

He walked to the back of the line, looking at the embarrassing state of the two men, took a moment before asking, "What happened to you two?"

"We stumbled..." Yalunte respectfully answered.

"Seriously," the quartermaster shook his head, then handed them each a capsule, "Swallow it directly, no need to chew!"

"What is this?" Yalunte curiously asked.

"This is a potion. Only after taking this medicine can you survive in the Otherworld." The quartermaster glanced at him and said.

"If I don’t take it, will I die immediately after crossing the Otherworld Gate?" Yalunte asked, pinching the capsule.

"Of course!" The quartermaster responded.

"Thank you!" Having obtained the information he wanted, Yalunte said cheerfully.

After the quartermaster had departed, Yalunte looked at Cheng Ziang and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give it to me, I’m from the Otherworld, this potion has no effect on me."

"Why should I give it to you, give the potion to me, if I can return to Earth, I have to hand it over to those researchers." Cheng Ziang declared and snatched the capsule from Yalunte’s hand. He then carefully placed the two capsules in the spare bullet compartment of his revolver.

"Be careful, this thing might hurt you." Yalunte said with a worried look.

If he remembered correctly, although Cheng Ziang was his and Lin’s child, there was still a part of Earthling blood in him. If this part was attacked by the weapon, it could be dangerous.

"As long as the capsule is not opened, there will be no problem." Cheng Ziang glanced at him as if looking at a country bumpkin, then said.

"The Otherworld Gate is about to open!" Yalunte turned around to look at the Otherworld Gate, and couldn’t help exclaiming.

The ripples on the Otherworld Gate were becoming more obvious, almost identical to those on the Otherworld Gate in Yazhi City, meaning, the Otherworld Gate was about to open for connectivity.

"Listen closely, once we get to Earth, make sure to follow my instructions and don’t play the hero. Even though you are the Continent’s number one Swordsman, you can’t cope with their guns and cannons." He turned to look at Yalunte anxiously, and added, "Why don’t you go over and help Luo’er instead?"

"Impossible, you are my disciple, how could I abandon you." Yalunte said without hesitation.

"At a time like this you still want to play the hero." Cheng Ziang sighed, but didn’t try to persuade him anymore.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd and shouts erupted from the front. The pair only felt the magical fluctuations in the air slowly subside, looked up just in time to see that the Otherworld Gate was completely open, completely identical to the Otherworld Gate in Yazhi City.

"Get ready." Cheng Ziang said, shouldering his rifle, preparing to charge.

After the Otherworld Gate opened, the army did not immediately rush in. Instead, they waited on the spot for the magicians to retreat, before starting their pre-battle speech. Cheng Ziang had not expected such a formalist approach to extend to the Otherworld, leaving him speechless.

He remembered that Luo’er had already notified the headquarters. If their reactions were quick enough, the other side of the door would have been heavily surrounded by now. This would make the soldiers’ venture a sacrificial one. Now with the added pre-battle speech, it felt like they were just asking for more enemies.

However, at this point, Cheng Ziang could not even find the motivation to criticize this bureaucratic style. All he could think about was when Luo’er would finally use magic to close the Otherworld Gate, so they wouldn’t have to rush in.

Alternatively, if Luo’er and the others did not have time to cast spells, then he had to think about how to safely cross the Otherworld Gate without being attacked by his own side.

He did not know whether the army was already assembled on the other side of the door, ready to fight. He would only know once they went inside. But he preferred to believe that the military had made defensive preparations, even if they might accidentally hurt them.

After almost an hour of chaos, the men finally began their push forward. By this time, the soldiers near the Otherworld Gate were shouting as they swarmed the gate. Since both sides of the Otherworld Gate allowed passage, hundreds of soldiers rushed in holding their armed old-fashioned rifles, carrying their unwavering conviction to conquer the unknown scientific world.

Their ignorance of Earth caused them to confidently believe that they could defeat Earthlings with just the weapons in their hands. Under the influence of this fervor, more and more people crossed the Otherworld Gate, heading towards the unknown destination of Earth.

"Charge, let’s charge in first. This way, we might not get attacked by the Earth army!" Cheng Ziang said loudly, then ran with his rifle towards the Otherworld Gate.

Seeing him rushing in, Yalunte grabbed his rifle and followed him closely.

Getting close to the gate, Cheng Ziang could see soldiers rushing towards them through the ripples, surprisingly there was no anticipated collision when they simultaneously jumped into the ripples. An invisible force pulled them into an unknown space.
