【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time

...Is that really the case?

Zhou Zekai couldn't help sighing in his heart - things related to Ye Xiu seemed to be like this in the end, everything was predestined and unchangeable.He already knew it, but still felt powerless.

"Colonel Su also said that this is an assistance mission, which is different from the repair mission, which is an immediate response after the historical fixed point is modified. This mission has always existed and been recorded, and it can only send troops to support it at a specific time. After all, this This battle has been locked in a time lock."

That's right.

Although Gallifrey's army is mainly responsible for maintaining the timeline, they are after all one of the concluding civilizations of the Shadow Declaration, maintaining the order of the universe, and have the obligation to prevent the illegal invasion of low-level civilizations by high-level civilizations, and sometimes even go to Clear the space pirates.The Earth Defense War, or the first battle of mankind, was an unequal battle in which the Earth was unilaterally declared war by a high-level civilization when its technological level was very backward. After the Shadow Alliance detected the aggression, it assigned Carrie Frey this assistance mission.And because Garrifrey himself knew the importance of this battle, he used a time lock at the same time as the rescue. Everything is an objective fact—anyone who has nothing to do with this battle, it is wishful thinking to use the means of time and space to enter this enclosed time.

Unless you are a part of this battle, you are a part of this historical fixed point, and you can naturally enter when you meet the age of the time lock.

"So, we have been ignorant about when this mission will be carried out and who will be sent. All the information has been sealed in the 'Time Box', and the box will be opened automatically when the time is up. At that time, the parliamentary court will They will know that it is time to carry out the task, and they can dispatch personnel according to the information in the box."

The Box of Time is a box specially used to store important information. It will only be opened automatically when the specified time arrives. There are instructions for extremely important events without exception.The reason why it exists is to maintain some special fixed points, which are left by time lords who know the details of these special historical fixed points in the distant future when they go back to the past.As far as Zhou Zekai knew, there were only ten such boxes since the founding of Garifrey's army, and eight of them had been opened, so it seemed that this was the ninth one.

Huang Shaotian answered: "So it says in the box that there are only three of us who will take on this mission, and it also says that we were all 880 years old when we carried out the mission, and our military rank is a colonel—is that what it means?"

"That's right." The general nodded, "Although there is no record of what method you used, you did return after successfully completing your mission. And in this box, there is also an email for each of you, which can only be opened by you. "As he said, he took out three small boxes with white light, and handed the one with the corresponding name to them, "You can start after you open it." He smiled and gave a military salute, "I think There is no need for me to wish the three of you success in this mission."

After the three of them returned to the military salute, they each walked into their own TARDIS.After closing the door, Zhou Zekai took his mail and opened it when he walked to the bridge.The voice coming from inside is very mechanical, obviously not spoken by a human, and the content is only four words——

"With a pocket watch."

Zhou Zekai was stunned for a moment, and then took out the pocket watch he just got from his parents from his pocket.

For the time lords, the specific pocket watches are generally deformation arches, which allow them to erase all the genetic characteristics and memories of the time lords and disguise them as special props of other species.But what Zhou Zekai is doing this time is not a hidden mission, even if it is a latent mission, it is impossible to use this kind of props that will cause memory loss, and if you are fatally injured without turning back into a time lord, there is no chance of rebirth. It can be said that there is no The possibility of carrying the deformation arch can only refer to the family heirloom he just obtained.

The assembly was urgent, and Zhou Zekai stuffed it in his pocket when he went out.It is undeniable that if he hadn't received this email, he would have found a chance to put it down.And this email was obviously meant for him to take it with him anytime and anywhere, not to leave his body.

Does it mean to prepare it to save people at any time?

After thinking about it, only this is the most reliable, so Zhou Zekai put the pocket watch close to his body, then entered the mission coordinates, and activated the TARDIS.Pushing the door open again, Su Mucheng and Huang Shaotian walked out from the two Tadis, one on the left and one on the right.They are currently in a storage room. Zhou Zekai took a look at the location before coming out. They are currently in Geneva, and the time is 24 hours before the first shot of the war of aggression.

"What is your information? Let me tell you, is it convenient to tell?" Huang Shaotian scratched his head.

"I have to tell you what I have to say." Su Mucheng smiled, her hand resting on the holster around her waist naturally, "If you can tell, then you can tell it first."

"I don't have anything else, just let me contact Glory of China." Huang Shaotian looked at Zhou Zekai, "What about you?"

Zhou Zekai answered truthfully, with no more words and no less words: "With a pocket watch."

"Huh? Do you have to pretend to be a human being? This is too troublesome, let alone a safety hazard, it's very difficult to do without memory." Huang Shaotian obviously thought that the pocket watch referred to the deformed arch.

Zhou Zekai shook his head.

"Well, I don't think you know." Huang Shaotian, who could get it wrong, looked at Su Mucheng again, "What did you receive?"

"It seems that my most important thing is to let mankind know that it is about to face an invasion within 24 hours, and use our three TARDIS to prop up a protective shield covering the whole world."

"Ah?" Huang Shaotian was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it? Three TARDIS will be responsible for the protection of the entire planet? Then first of all, we must ensure sufficient energy, that is to say, all three TARDIS must stop on the time rift... eh Not to mention that there are exactly three cracks on the earth that are big enough to last for the TARDIS all the time—one in Hangzhou, China, one in Cardiff, England, and one in the Great Sand Desert in Australia—but if this is the case, the TARDIS will Can’t move, can we only fly on the earth? This condition is too difficult!”

"You don't have to worry about that." Su Mucheng smiled and looked at Zhou Zekai. "At this time, there is still a fourth TARDIS on Earth. Although there is only one, it should be enough for us."

"Huh?" Huang Shaotian was at a loss, "The fourth channel? Which time lord is here? How do you know?"

"No, that person is..." Su Mucheng cut off her words in the middle of her sentence. There was no other reason. In this extremely crowded storage room with three TARDIS already placed, the voice rang again. That unique engine sound that you will never forget once you hear it——

With a gust of wind, a locker gradually appeared in front of the three time lords alternately, and the most surprising thing was that just as it was about to settle down, it suddenly changed its appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye It became a vending machine.

Looking at the rows of heart-shaped chocolates, Zhou Zekai almost wanted to cover his face.
