"But... if Xu Linna keeps using the Time Meteorite, as long as we confront her, she can still predict the future!" Xu Ruina suddenly said.
Indeed, no matter how they calculated, as long as it involved Xu Linna, she could eventually know in advance.
While she couldn't see things too far into the future now, it didn't mean she wouldn't be able to in a few weeks or months.
"This..."
Xiao Guanghan was stunned. He had overlooked this issue.
His thoughts came to a standstill for a moment.
"The only way now is for everyone to avoid Xu Linna for as long as possible. If we're lucky, the time I spend in the other world might only be a few minutes in the real world."
"If that's the case, then nothing will be a problem. However, we must also be prepared for the worst!" Zhang Chen said, touching his ring.
He still had an intermediate luck card from Zhang Wenwen that he hadn't used, hoping it would be effective.
However, Zhang Chen was also prepared for the card to be useless.
After all, this was about the core of the Time Meteorite. It was unknown whether the luck card could interfere with that powerful temporal force.
Luck was a matter of probability, after all.
Time, however, could turn uncertain probabilities into certainties, no matter how low that probability might be...
"Since that's the case, I suggest that the camp members disperse and break into smaller units. They can operate based on the previous camp structures or further subdivide into smaller groups to hide!"
"Our strong individuals have already cleared out most of the powerful monsters in the territory, so the territory is relatively safe."
"As long as each group has a reasonable distribution of members and strong individuals, we can hide and avoid being discovered by Xu Linna."
"This way, we can buy ourselves more time!" Xiao Guanghan suggested.
"That's right. The high-wall city is too conspicuous, and as soon as Xu Linna completes her bio-enhancement, she will definitely attack here. Let's avoid her sharp edge for now and wait for the True God to find a solution!" Zheng Hao chimed in.
"Since everyone agrees, let's start dividing into groups now!"
"Xiao Bai, Mo Ran, you two will also be responsible for protecting everyone. Do you understand!" Zhang Chen said decisively, then looked at the two girls.
"Don't worry, Daddy, we will definitely complete our mission!"
"Yes, we think protecting the high-wall city this time is also fun, and we will protect other camps in the same way!"
"That's right, Daddy, don't worry, we've grown up and can help you share the burden!" Xiao Bai and Mo Ran nodded repeatedly.
Seeing these two girls being so strong and sensible, Zhang Chen felt a surge of relief.
"If you go, there's no need to worry about the home. Zhang Mo and I will live together, and with fewer people, our target will be smaller, and we will be safer!" Katerina said.
She knew Zhang Chen would definitely worry about her and their son.
Furthermore, it wasn't very suitable for her to go with any specific camp, as she and Zhang Mo were considered among the strong.
If the camp were attacked, and she were to intervene, it would put Zhang Chen's family in danger.
If she didn't intervene, it would damage the True God's prestige.
Therefore, after much consideration, it was more convenient for her to take her child and leave on her own.
"Moreover... I can stay in the city we found earlier!" Katerina continued.
"Then... alright!" Zhang Chen nodded. That city was located in a mushroom forest. If anything happened, he would be able to sense it through the Underworld Mushroom he had on him, making it easier to check on them.
However, he was still a bit uneasy, so he said to Shirley:
"Shirley, go with Katerina. With you there, I'll feel more at ease!"
Shirley quickly stood up and nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Master, I will protect them!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen turned to look at Xu Ruina again.
After all, Shirley had been Xu Ruina's assistant for a long time.
"I don't mind. I'll team up with the remaining researchers. We know each other best, and it will be most convenient to form a team together!" Xu Ruina said, hiding her claws under the table.
Zhang Chen understood that due to her claws, Xu Ruina felt a bit self-conscious, which was why she didn't want to be with other survivors.
However, this was for the best. Xu Ruina's ability was to control zombies, and surrounding herself and the researchers with zombies would be the safest.
At this moment, the other teams had also finished their assignments and were starting to return to their respective camps to pack their belongings and prepare to depart.
Zhang Chen embraced Katerina, Zhao Xiyue, Guan Xin, and others one by one to bid farewell.
It was then that he was surprised to realize how many women were around him, including Xiao Bai, Mo Ran, Zhang Wenwen, Li Bingyu, Su Xue, Shirley, and so on.
Just giving them polite hugs took quite some time.
However, the women's gazes towards Zhang Chen were still filled with reluctance, as if if Zhang Chen had only to call out who was willing to team up with him, all these women would have rushed over in an instant.
But Zhang Chen didn't do that, as this mission was quite tricky.
If it were him alone, his actions would be quick, and he could handle situations easily.
He had to find the Time Meteorite quickly.
With everything prepared, Zhang Chen took out Xiao Ruan from his pocket.
"I'm going to the world where I found the Time Meteorite fragments before! Xiao Ruan, please!" Zhang Chen said.
"Guji!"
Xiao Ruan wriggled its tentacles but did not immediately open a portal.
It seemed to convey: That world has temporal turbulence, and the Time Meteorite and the Meteorites of Creation and Destruction repel each other. Crossing might cause fluctuations in the time stream, leading to unknown effects on teleportation.
"It's okay, look at this!"
Zhang Chen took out the Ultimate Luck Card given by Zhang Wenwen and gently crushed it.
A surge of energy instantly flowed into Zhang Chen's body.
"Alright, let's begin!" Zhang Chen let out a sigh of relief and said.
"Guji..."
Xiao Ruan curled its tentacles helplessly, and then a portal instantly opened.
Zhang Chen stared intently at the portal for a while.
As expected, the prompt did not appear at this moment.
It seemed this was a world full of variables, so he would try his luck!
Zhang Chen took the first step and walked into the portal.
Whoosh!
As the surrounding scenery slowly became clearer from a state of blurriness, Zhang Chen realized that he had successfully teleported to the world where the core of the Time Meteorite was located.
This could be seen from the delayed prompt.
However, the prompt still read: "Temporal turbulence exists, and the corresponding time with the main world cannot be measured!"
Never mind, it was good that he had arrived.
But... where was this?
Zhang Chen looked around.
This seemed to be a construction site, with military personnel strictly guarding it, and in the distance, workers were building a nearly hundred-meter-high wall...
