Chapter 457 Unknown Timeline
On the other side, Tang Zijun stood at the crossroads.
His feet were covered in snow, and large snowflakes drifted down from the sky like cotton balls, creating a beautiful scene under the streetlights.
It was the dead of night, and the sky was pitch black, with only countless snowflakes dancing up and down in the air like fairies.
"Huh...it's winter after all."
Tang Zijun gently reached out and caught a snowflake, smiled slightly, exhaled a puff of white mist, and vanished without a trace in an instant.
He tried calling out to Katie using the connection between them, but received no response. However, the connection between them was still there, so Tang Zijun could only conclude that Katie was currently unable to respond to him.
After all, the collision in the reverse timeline caused extremely serious damage. Even though Katie is a sentient being in the world of the surface, such losses are still very significant for her.
Fortunately, she managed to block the most severe wave of impact; otherwise, Katie might have been cut in two.
Tang Zijun pulled the rabbit in the cute uniform out of her pocket and gently poked its head with her finger. "Hey, Curly-eared one, wake up."
"call...
'
Curly-eared creature twitched its ears and twitched its nose as it rolled over in Tang Zijun's arms, seemingly sleeping soundly.
"6
'
Seeing this, Tang Zijun's lips twitched.
"Heat oil in a wok, then add the braised rabbit heads and spices. Just stir-fry briefly, and a rich aroma will fill the air..."
"Waaaaah!! Don't eat me! Don't eat me!!"
Before Tang Zijun could finish speaking, the rolled-eared rabbit jumped up, struggling and tracing a path in mid-air before landing with a "plop" on the snow.
"Hmm..." Curly-eared girl raised her head in confusion, shook it vigorously, and then looked up at her unfamiliar surroundings. "Where am I?"
"You're finally awake." Tang Zijun crossed her arms and squatted down with a smile.
Upon hearing the sound, Juan Erduo turned around to look at Tang Zijun behind him.
The next moment, her eyes suddenly became somewhat vacant—
In the boundless depths of chaos, the river of time flows like a roaring dragon.
A destructive force swept out like a surging tide, affecting even the surrounding timeline. The source of it all was the strange being with three heads.
His breathing seemed to exude a sense of oppression that repelled time, distorting and deforming the surrounding light, and the entire carriage swayed precariously, as if it were about to be completely destroyed by this force.
At this critical moment, a figure shot into the sky from the front of the vehicle like a meteor. It was a being whose entire body shone with a metallic luster, and every piece of armor contained indescribable energy.
His outburst was so sudden yet not unexpected, shining brightly amidst the dazzling light of time and space.
His unparalleled figure accumulated terrifying power. He kicked out suddenly, and a dazzling light accompanied by a metallic sound spread from his leg, forming a huge outline of the kick.
The Knight's Kick, with its unstoppable momentum, clashed with the attack of the three-headed being. In an instant, dazzling light burst forth like fireworks across the timeline.
The shockwave of energy spread outwards at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it went, the flow of time trembled violently. Amidst a sharp whistling sound, the view of the rolled-eared person was completely swallowed up by the daylight.
Slowly coming to my senses, the scene before me gradually became clear.
As that dazzling figure slowly overlapped with Tang Zijun's figure before him, Juan Erduo's breathing became rapid.
"Oh no, this is terrible!"
Curly-eared girl jumped three feet high and screamed.
"Kitty, Tan Zhixin, Xiaoqing, Qin Nan, and Xiaohui, they, they all..."
"Don't panic, Curly Ears, they're alright," Tang Zijun reassured her, pressing her palm down. "Don't believe me? Check your contract with Katie and see if it's still there."
Upon hearing this, Juan Erduo calmed down a bit. She closed her eyes and carefully sensed it for a while, then opened her eyes with some surprise.
"It's still there! It's still there!"
However, she quickly asked again, puzzled.
"But where are they now? Why can I sense the existence of the contract, but I can't find Katie's location?"
Looking at the curly-eared creatures in front of her, Tang Zijun paused for a moment before speaking. "That's because their timeline is different from ours."
"Their timeline is different from ours?" Curly Ears repeated Tang Zijun's words, his brows furrowing even deeper. "What exactly is going on?"
Tang Zijun didn't know how to explain this, so he simply recounted the events that had happened to Juan Erduo.
To be honest, Tang Zijun was quite surprised when he saw the dark blue train, because he never expected that he and his group would actually run into those guys from the wasteland in the same timeline.
Since this was Tang Zijun's first time dealing with something like timelines, he didn't know whether the probability was high or low.
His original plan was to overtake the opponent before they could react and intercept them using the landing point calculated by Suolin.
Although this might alert the enemy, at least they still hold the initiative.
But what Tang Zijun never expected was that after discovering their presence, the guy on the train hesitated for only a moment before charging towards them with incredible ferocity, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
This is not like a train collision in reality; a collision on a timeline can easily affect the environment within that timeline and cause enormous damage.
Those intelligent machines naturally wouldn't care about this, not even their own lives. And including that three-headed guy, they were all mechanical creations; as long as the backup was available, they could be remade.
But Tang Zijun and the others are different; they are living, breathing people. If they were to die here, it would be a huge problem.
Under these circumstances, Tang Zijun kicked out without saying a word. Although the combat power of the Dawn Breaker form was not as good as the two gods, in a timeline full of supernatural energy rhythms, the power it could exert was definitely no less than that of the two gods.
Especially considering that the power of the two divine cards is mostly used for time travel.
The outcome was acceptable; Katie suffered severe injuries but was repairable. The only bad thing was that everyone in the car was thrown out and flew to different points in the timeline.
Their location is still unknown, but with the protection of magic, Tang Zijun believes they were not harmed. Moreover, judging from the situation at the time, their disappearance timeline should be closely related to the landing point of the group of androids.
This can be considered a good thing.
Because they don't need to search the world for the next assassination target of those omnics; they have already landed at the same point in time as those omnics.
Listening to Tang Zijun's story, Juan Erduo was completely bewildered.
After finally processing all this information, she raised her head in disbelief.
"So, the hole in Katie's train wasn't caused by someone hitting it, but by you kicking it?!"
"Ahem... There's no other way. The timeline outside isn't governed by the rules of the inverted world, so I can't just use the reflection from the mirror to get outside directly, so..."
Tang Zijun scratched her head and continued, "Besides, under those circumstances, I didn't have time to do much calculation. If they had actually rammed into us, we would probably have died in the crash along with them."
As she spoke, Tang Zijun nodded her curly-eared head.
"You don't actually want to see countless corpses scattered across different timelines, do you?"
"Well..."
Just thinking about that scene made Juan Erduo shudder.
"Then forget it."
She paused, stood up, patted the snowflakes off her clothes, and looked up at Tang Zijun.
"So, where are we right now?"
Tang Zijun looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar buildings and shook her head slightly. "To be honest, I don't know either, but what I do know is that we should still be in China, but I'm not sure which timeline we're in."
The scene before my eyes consisted of low-rise houses, and various little GG stickers were pasted on the utility poles in the distance, giving it a faint sense of local life.
Tang Zijun reached out and picked up Juan Erduo. "Let's confirm our timeline now. Try not to speak as much as possible. If you must speak, use telepathy. I can hear you."
Okay. Curly-eared didn't pay attention to these details; she was simply curiously observing everything around her.
