My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 343 The Hive: Warning! The Enemy Has Initiated Scorched Earth Operation (First Update)
"You superhumans are really interesting!" Chu Zhu pouted, unsure of what expression to make.

"Aren't you also an extraordinary being?" the Pope asked noncommittally.

Chu Zhu gave the Pope a deep look, but didn't waste his efforts trying to recruit the person in front of him... He already knew the answer!
However, next time, should we leave an instruction... to see if we can communicate with God and ask Him to leave another divine decree? Chu Zhu's mind was filled with thoughts. If there really was a divine decree, it wouldn't be impossible to get the God Worshipping Society to submit, would it?
But then Chu Zhu realized that the chances of success were slim, after all, his good brother must have thought about contacting God before! But the final result... we can tell from the current situation!
It dispelled the jumbled thoughts in my mind.

"My second question is about C... I mean, the ladder to heaven on the left!" Chu Zhu paused slightly and asked, "Do you have any information about it... that you can share with me?"

"..." The Pope looked troubled: "The Ladder to Heaven leads to a secret place within my God-Worshipping Society! Unfortunately, I cannot tell you..."

“I’m referring to the ladder to heaven itself,” Chu Zhu interrupted the Pope.

"..." The Pope gave Chu Zhu a strange look, pondered for a while, and said, "The ladder to heaven, isn't it just the ladder to heaven?"

"?" Chu Zhu remained silent for a long, long time. After staring at the Pope for a moment, she realized that the Pope actually thought so, and her lips twitched slightly: "...You win!"

Chu Zhu suddenly realized something: the Ladder to Heaven had existed on this land for far too long... Perhaps from the moment the Pope was born, he had watched the Ladder to Heaven grow up little by little—in his worldview, the Ladder to Heaven was indeed something almost common sense!

"?" The Pope looked increasingly confused.

"There's one more thing," Chu Zhu said gravely. "Originally, I wanted to ask... if you control any other ruins or anything like that! Whether they'd be suitable for me to go in... Okay, stop making that face! The reason I didn't ask is because I know you definitely wouldn't agree! So the last thing I wanted to say is..."

"Although you are unlikely to pledge allegiance to me, I would still appreciate it if you could mobilize your forces to stabilize the current extraordinary situation within Tianjing."

Chu Zhu rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache... Only after truly conquering Tianjing and summarizing the data obtained from Nuwa's side did he realize the trouble he was in... As the saying goes, conquering the world is difficult, but maintaining it is even more difficult!
He knew without even thinking that... the extraordinary forces belonging to the Great Qian Dynasty, even if they hadn't attacked his army, were inevitably in a state of disarray... Of course, after listening to Huo Qiming's words, Chu Zhu wasn't actually that worried about these extraordinary individuals with legitimate lineages—

But he was worried about those evil cults and wild superhumans!
Who knows if they might think that the chaos of the situation gives them room to make their move?

Putting aside everything else, what if the Omnipotent lineage takes advantage of this chaos to create something similar to what happened in Jinghai City... Chu Zhu simply couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be.

"I understand! It's what I should do." After realizing what Chu Zhu was worried about, the Pope agreed without hesitation.

……

They left the main church of the Catholic Church.

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed, and he looked gravely northward. He was pondering... how much longer could he live this time?

Once the news of the fall of Tianjing reached the north, Chu Zhu strongly suspected that, after a moment's hesitation, the emperor would still use the Golden Dragon of Fortune to assassinate him...

"Time is running out!" Chu Zhu sighed softly, beckoning Huo Qiming to follow with her finger as she said, "Hive, control the maglev car... take me to the C Company headquarters!"

Upon arriving at the headquarters of Company C, Chu Zhu felt completely dumbfounded.

"...This thing, who designed this? Is it so inhumane..." Chu Zhu had Hive use a drone to scan the building from top to bottom, and was shocked to find that...the building in front of them was completely seamless, with no doors or windows to be found...

The headquarters wasn't tall, only about five stories high. Of course, this didn't mean that those five stories directly connected to the sky... but rather that in the very center of the headquarters, there was a huge circular pillar that shot straight into the clouds...

After much deliberation, Chu Zhu tentatively ordered a drone to attack the headquarters, and as expected... it did not cause any damage whatsoever.

“…Try hitting me with all your might!” Chu Zhu looked at Huo Qiming beside her.

"It's useless!" Huo Qiming explained with a wry smile, "It definitely won't budge an inch! Even with the change of dynasties, Tianjing beneath our feet has been destroyed and rebuilt several times... yet this ancient ruin has always stood! My strength... can only be considered adequate..."

"Hmm." Chu Zhu nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then pulled the little mushroom-shaped hair clip off her left shoulder: "Xiao San, do you know what this thing is... Okay, I'm not asking you to explain anything about Company C... Do you know where the door is?"

Chu Zhu was already thinking about whether to find the door... and then have Bi Xuan open it...

After a brief silence, the mistress spoke up: "Under the complete rejection mode, all portals are completely locked..."

"...Alright! That's normal." Chu Zhu frowned slightly. Indeed, it's so easy to get in... In some past dynasty, they probably already had a similar key-wielding expert open the door and get in...

Trouble!
Does this mean we really have to go back to the real world... and wait for our good buddies to step in?
Chu Zhu's mind was racing.

Suddenly, the Hive phone emitted a piercing alarm. Chu Zhu's expression changed slightly, and she instantly pulled out her phone: "What happened?"

“Father!” Hive’s voice was serious. “I have discovered that a large number of troops from Yangzhou have appeared in the north! They have crossed the Yangtze River and begun attacking the shantytown redevelopment area… They have used weapons of mass destruction… I have mobilized the remaining unmanned machines! We have begun to resist them…”

"Warning! Warning! The enemy's firepower is more than ten times that of ours... We are completely unable to intercept the shells!"

"Initiating deep thinking... It has been confirmed that the enemy is employing a complete scorched-earth strategy... attempting to effectively strike and capture the security forces soldiers who have taken over Tianjing by completely destroying the shantytown redevelopment area! Starting to consider solutions..."

The Hive was operating at full capacity: "Based on our current conditions, there's no way to resolve our predicament! Perhaps we could use a diversionary tactic... a direct attack on Yangdi... Warning, there's no time! We need to rethink..."
