Antarctica, camp.
A soldier of the Heavenly Fire Army found Zhu Zi.
"Division Commander, a group of people are here from outside, saying they want to see you."
"Who are they?"
"They say they are from the Z country's Antarctic expedition team."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zi became instantly excited.
He knew very well what the words "Z country" represented!
Although he had never been to the parallel world of "Liang Jian," he had heard about it from Zhang Tian and Xue Ren Gui upon their return.
It was the reigning dynasty of the Central Plains, following the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties!
It was also the ancient appellation of the Central Plains!
"Quick, bring them in..."
"No, I will personally go out to greet them!"
With that, he pushed aside the tent flap and rushed out.
The injuries of their master, the Duke, still needed their help to find someone to treat them; this could not be neglected.
Outside the camp, a group of young and old were gazing into the distance, their attention fully focused on the dark passage.
"Teacher Xia, so the wormhole hypothesis is actually true!"
"Indeed, not only true, but it can also connect two worlds. This is simply incredible."
"Teacher Xia, where do you think these people came from, and why do they also speak Chinese? Their appearance is also exactly like ours!"
"And over there, that's a Wuzhi-10 and a Type 59 modified. This is too shocking!"
"..."
They pointed at the passage and the weapons and equipment in the camp, filled with shock and confusion. They didn't even notice when Zhu Zi arrived with his men.
"Hahahaha, esteemed guests, welcome from afar. Forgive my failure to greet you properly!"
As Zhu Zi approached, he first cupped his fists in a salute, then continued.
"I am Zhu Zi, Division Commander of the First Division of the Heavenly Fire Army."
"May I know how to address you all?"
The expedition team members all turned their heads in unison to look at him.
Especially an old man, who was the one previously addressed as Teacher.
"We are from the Z country's Antarctic expedition team. I am Captain Xia Gang."
Xia Gang smiled and extended his right hand to him, but his heart grew more puzzled.
This way of speaking, why did it sound like an ancient person?
Unaware of his thoughts, Zhu Zi politely pointed to the tents in the camp.
"Greetings, Captain Xia, everyone. Please come in quickly. It's cold outside, let's talk inside!"
However, Xia Gang frowned at his enthusiasm.
Was this person a bit too overly enthusiastic?
They had just arrived in this world, and
"That is the passage connecting to our world. In our world, it is still the Tang Dynasty. The current era is Zhenguan!"
"Boom!"
This statement stunned Xia Gang and the others even more.
The people before them were actually from an ancient parallel world!
Yet, they possessed aircraft and tanks!
And those egg-shaped aircraft that flew without any discernible means!
"You, you, you, are you telling the truth?!"
Xia Gang's excitement caused him to stammer. What he saw and heard had completely shattered his worldview!
"It's true! Truer than gold!"
Zhu Zi nodded affirmatively, then pointed at the tanks and helicopters.
"These were all bought by our Duke from other parallel worlds."
"According to the Duke, in that world, there is a very magical thing, installed on mobile phones, that can be used to buy any object you desire."
"Besides these, there is also something he calls a 'big firecracker,' whose real name, I believe, is Dongfeng Express..."
"Of course, I haven't seen it myself, but other brothers who have seen it say that thing can be used to plant mushrooms."
Xia Gang: ...
He felt his brain was not enough to comprehend.
Express that can plant mushrooms...
Can such a thing be sold?
Alright, that's not the main point!
The main point is that they can travel back and forth between different parallel worlds!
This was the greatest discovery of the century!
"Division Commander Zhu Zi..."
At this moment, Zhang Tian's angry voice came from Zhu Zi's walkie-talkie.
"Brother Zhu Zi, retreat quickly!"
"A large wave of missiles is flying towards you! Hurry, retreat to Australia first!"
Zhu Zi's expression changed drastically. Without time to greet Xia Gang, he immediately looked at the soldiers behind him.
"Pass the order: abandon all supplies and the entire army retreats to Australia!"
A large wave!
Although there was no specific number, Zhu Zi knew that Zhang Tian's urgency meant the situation was definitely not simple!
"Yes!"
The soldiers did not dare to hesitate, shouting loudly and running towards the camp.
Xia Gang, standing nearby, felt a storm surge in his heart.
He was unaware of what was happening in the Pacific. The previous orders were only to try and make contact with these people to see if they had any hostile intentions.
But now, it seemed that in addition to the captured US soldiers in the camp,
The conflict between these people and the US military had escalated beyond repair!
However, it was understandable. After all, that wormhole represented a new world.
And this was a decision made without the US military knowing the origin of these people!
If they knew that these people had the ability to traverse parallel worlds at will, then more than just missiles would have been sent!
Traversing parallel worlds meant inexhaustible resources!
It was only then that Zhu Zi cupped his hands to him.
"Captain Xia, I apologize. As you've heard, I must quickly lead my brothers to retreat."
"It seems your world is not very friendly to us."
"After we evade this wave of attacks, I will have a good chat with you."
"There are some matters that might require your help to facilitate connections."
"Could you leave your address? So that when we return to this place in the future, we can find you."
Xia Gang's heart stirred: "Division Commander Zhu Zi, may I have the honor of visiting your world?"
