IJWTRQ Chapter 020

Things went smoother than they imagined, the base was moving too fast.

Several people fearfully carry the computer connected to the network cable, Liang Xian turned on the computer under the protection of Tan Yan, and got familiar with this world’s computer system.

The input method is somewhat different from their world, and the code is also slightly different. Fortunately, the two worlds have only taken different paths since the Republic of China. The gap is about a hundred years, and many things remain the same.

After Liang Xian became familiar with the computer, he used the letters and codes he was familiar with to input the data. There may be some gaps, but he believes that the people of Xia Guo will find a way to decipher it if they need to.

To be able to do things to this extent, they have already done their duty to humanity¹仁至義盡 Rénzhìyìjìn: do everything called for by humanity and duty; do what is humanly possible to help; be magnanimous..

“Commander, they’ve been typing something on the computer, we are urgently deciphering it.” The technicians in the base reported.

It was originally a computer connected to the Internet, so it is very easy to receive information from the computer inside the base.

“What’s the content?” The army commander looked at the four people who weren’t afraid of being surrounded by heavy troops in the surveillance, and couldn’t help but muttered, “Who the hell are they, and why can they be exposed on the ground without protective clothing?”

“Report, it’s… about corps.” The technician said while stealing information.

“Quickly go get a specialist to look at it!” The commander immediately walked to the computer. Although he couldn’t understand the technical terms Liang Xian used, he still looked at the computer seriously.

There is only one pitiful agronomy expert left in the base, he quickly browsed the information: “I’m not familiar with the expressions of many contents, and I don’t really understand them, but according to the information written, if this kind of wheat can be cultivated, even if it is underground, it seems to be able to achieve an acreage yield of more than a thousand… The raw materials for the new fertilizer are easy to find and easy to make. Commander, if what is written in this information is true, our food problem can be greatly alleviated!”

“Quickly…” The army commander’s words suddenly stopped.

He wanted to say to control the people quickly, cut off the network, and not let the information leak out. But thinking about the strength of the group outside, he stopped.

“What they want is to be able to connect to the central network…” The base commander murmured, “They don’t want to hand over the information to individuals, but to the country… In this era, there are still people who care about the government when the sky is high, and the emperor is far away²天高皇帝远 Tiān gāo huángdì yuǎn: a well-known phrase, alt: mountain is high and the emperor is far away (山高皇帝遠 Shāngāo huángdì yuǎn), meaning remote places where law and decrees are not strictly enforced; remote places beyond the reach of administration.?”

He can imagine that once the central government has mastered the new technology, increased food production, and has enough reserves, it can take action against these restless bases below.

At that time, the whole country will be unified, and although people live a hard life, they can work together to fight against the end times.

“Commander, should we intercept the information?” The technician asked.

Their thoughts are all the same. If such technology can be taken for themselves and there is sufficient food, they can attract more survivors, and even have other bases join them.

Who doesn’t want to be at the pinnacle of power?

“No,” the army commander shook his head, “They won’t allow us to intercept the information, otherwise, they can just give us the information and get the best treatment at the base, no need to use force as a deterrent.”

“However, in case the central government cultivates new seeds…”

“Wouldn’t that be better, save one family from dominating, and the central government can win people’s hearts. The information is passed from us, and the central government will definitely reuse us.” The army commander said, “Just let them send it.”

Liang Xian and the others didn’t know about the changes of hearts among the people in the base. They just thought that things went too smoothly. They passed the information without any hindrance, and a stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

“Let’s go,” After hitting the last key, Liang Xian heaved a sigh of relief, “We have done all we can do.”

Ah San narrowed his eyes: “The base should also get this information too, right?”

“At that time, it will depend on which technology is more advanced between the central government and the base. The first to cultivate the seeds will take the lead, but not for long. If the base’s leader is smart, they should take this opportunity to surrender to the central government, and unite to recover all the bases in the country.” Liang Xian analyzed, “Judging from how fast the leader delivers the computer, he’s not too stupid.”

After hearing his words, Ah San felt relieved: “Shall we go a little more arrogantly?”

“How to be arrogant?”

Qin Li looked at Tan Yan with bright eyes: “Like flying away or something.”

Liang Xian: “…”

He just wanted to say that the two were whimsical, but when he thought of Tan Yan’s inhuman strength, he felt that nothing was impossible.

Most people have dreams of growing wings and flying into the sky, and Liang Xian is no exception. He joined Qin Li and Ah San’s team, and looked at Tan Yan with shining eyes.

Tan Yan: “…”

Being looked at by the students with such eyes, as an elder is really a heavy responsibility, but…

“Don’t make trouble, how can people fly? Haven’t you learned about gravity? The earth has gravity.” Tan Yan patted Qin Li’s shoulder, “There are no wings either, let’s just run away quickly.”

Three people: “…”

Why is this person obsessed with Newton even though he has superhuman strength? You just jumped dozens of meters high, you can afford to let the Earth’s gravity to Newton’s coffin board?

Without a chic exit posture, the four quickly ran away after Liang Xian sent the information. Ah San, who has the most experience, ran in front, Qin Li in the middle, and Tan Yan held Liang Xian with one arm at the back.

Liang Xian: “…”

Forget it, he has lost everything in front of everyone in his life today. Who would remember that he actually made his debut by beating up Instructor Zhou under the envious and jealous eyes of the whole class?

Ah San and Qin Li were quite energetic, the four of them quickly ran out of the sphere of influence of the base. After solving a problem, they finally began to ask Tan Yan how to leave the other world.

Tan Yan’s answer was as simple as ever: “Find the exit, jump in, and you can go back.”

He thought for a moment and then said: “You all hold on to me, I’m not sure if you’ll disappear on the way back without me.”

The three of them have a preliminary understanding of Tan Yan, knowing that he is not a theorist and he can only do many things but can’t talk. It doesn’t matter, just follow the experience once, and they will come to a conclusion.

“Okay,” Liang Xian said, “You tell us as much as you can in your own words how you feel the presence of the portal, and we learn along the way.”

At this time, the sun had risen to its highest point, and the surrounding temperature had reached more than a hundred degrees. Ah San tried to get out of the protective cover and ran for a few steps, but almost died out of breath, so he had to hide in the protective cover again.

The boundary of dying is easy to say, but who can determine the true awakening of ability?

Tan Yan carried Liang Xian because of his inconvenient legs and feet. He observed Ah San’s endurance time and told Tan Yan: “You first release everyone’s shields for 1 minute, after 1 minute, open again for 1 minute, then release 2 minutes, open again for 2 minutes. By analogy, increase by 1 minute each time, until someone can’t bear it and faint. Everyone, regardless of whether the protective cover is opened or lifted, don’t stop, run with Tan Yan at your fastest speed, even if you are too tired to lift your legs, keep walking, even if you can’t stand firmly, still have to crawl forward.”

“A good way,” Ah San agreed, “This way, you can add protection promptly when life is at stake, and you can be infinitely close to the state of imminent death.”

“Let me down,” Liang Xian said to Tan Yan, “A poisonous snake bit my foot, it was a little swollen and painful, but it didn’t hurt the bones. I can still run as long as I bear the pain.”

Tan Yan was very worried when he saw the three of them working so hard, but seeing Liang Xian’s firm gaze, he didn’t stop him.

“Don’t worry, it’s because you are here that I dare to do it.” Liang Xian said with a smile, “It’s just that I’m going to trouble you when the time comes, whoever falls among the three of us needs you to carry us. In the end, maybe… you have to carry three people back home.”

“I can carry it.”

That’s enough.

Even though he was in a different world and the surrounding environment was extremely harsh, Liang Xian felt very relaxed in his heart, even more relaxed than before when performing missions.
Because there’s Tan Yan by his side.

But they can’t stop advancing because of Tan Yan’s strength, they will only become parasites dependent on others. If there is only one way to awaken at the moment, then, they will try until the end.

–

Ping County, Cemetery.

Minister Yu and the others waited quietly in front of the unmarked tombstone.

“It’s already four o’clock in the afternoon, surpassing Tan Yan’s longest record of two o’clock in the afternoon.” Xu Mingyu worries, “Is it because Tan Yan couldn’t care for three people entering together?”

“I believe in Tan Yan, and I also believe in the soldiers who entered with him. They are all outstanding talents and will not be a burden to others.” Minister Yu firmly said.

And with his understanding of Tan Yan, this tough-as-nail man, he will definitely bring the three people back together.

“The energy field is responding!” Qiao Zhixue, who had been staring at the instrument, suddenly said.

All eyes were on the tombstone, only to see some tiny particles gradually appear in front of the tombstone, these particles became more and more, and eventually turned into four people.

Of course, this is the result of slowing down the video hundreds of thousands of times, in fact, in the naked eye of the people, it’s a sudden appearance of Tan Yan with three people in front of the tombstone.

The three people were dying with burns all over their bodies.

The author has something to say:

Liang Xian: I don’t believe that even if I turn myself into a roasted suckling pig, I won’t be able to awaken my superpowers!

Qin Li: Vulcan, give me strength!

Ah San: I’m about to be scalded to death, am I not fire spiritual root but water spiritual root? Then, isn’t doing it at night would be more useful?

If you like my translations, a cup of coffee would be much appreciated. Thank you!
