“…” Qin Muye looked at Sun Zhen with a straight face, “Then why didn’t you keep it in hand earlier?”
“It’s for safety’s sake. I only carried the Tiger Talisman and the Yellow Millet Seal, nothing else.” Sun Zhen knew that firearms were useful, but the Tiger Talisman was even more useful.
“Stop talking nonsense and get everyone out, we’re going to retrieve the Biological Master.” Qin Muye didn’t comment further; Sun Zhen’s approach was relatively correct, and it was, after all, a matter of survival.
“But you’re without teammates now, are you sure that’s not a problem?” Qin Muye counter-questioned.
“Can’t go on, I need to rest. Retrospecting time for long durations, the pocket watch is almost unable to withstand it. If the retrospection continues, it might lead to a massive time turbulence, and it’s going to need around three hours at least,” Qin Muye said.
“I was rash, I forgot this place was originally the domain of the Biological Master.” Seeing this, Sun Zhen smiled, but didn’t take it to heart and took decisive action.
“Boss, we need to get our hands on the Biological Master, otherwise next month we’ll still be dealing with these creatures.” Sun Zhen knew that the Biological Master had not only created these scale-armor wolves, it had previously been even more ferocious, producing not only wolves but also various hybrid creatures.
“Okay.” Qin Muye didn’t say much, but continued to wind back the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch, which now qualified as an Alpha Level Abnormality, for it had already gone out of control once before—otherwise, how could it possibly shift from retrospecting a second to an entire day.
“Let’s continue. We need to go back three months.” Sun Zhen took a deep breath, indicating that Qin Muye would need to spend ninety thousand years of his life.
“Do you know where the Biological Master is?” Qin Muye asked.
“July 2nd, we’ve returned to the day before! How much life did it consume?” Sun Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, finally succeeding.
“Catch the king before capturing his men, that’s what I did last time.”
“Indeed a problem, but I brought the Tiger Talisman with me this time, and with the help of Soldier Statues and Soldier Armor, it’s not a big issue.” When Sun Zhen arrived, he was naturally fully armed. He really didn’t bring firearms, but he brought an entire legion.
“Although there are synthesized beasts, they will only continue to spread with the Biological Master as the core.”
“So, before that, you’ll need to figure out a way to clear this place up…” Qin Muye pointed at the group of monsters around him, similar to evil wolves, but with scale armor.
“Damn it… no wonder it needs a month to cool down; so it’s because you brought these two pieces…” Qin Muye also realized then why Sun Zhen hadn’t brought firearms—it turned out he had brought the Tiger Talisman instead.
“Calibrate the time!” Qin Muye wound the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch and then asked.
“One thousand years, a good deal. A second needs ten years, but a day only requires one thousand years of life.” Qin Muye estimated the life span, and had a data exchange with his original body from the day before.
“What are your chances? If not, let’s find a safer place while we have time.” Qin Muye pondered; they were about to fight a boss, and with just their capabilities, it was likely to be risky, unless they called for help from his original body on the moon, otherwise, forget it.
“I forgot about that.” Sun Zhen gave a rueful smile, and the Biological Master had actually already been contained—given its characteristics, it really wasn’t easy to act on it, since even a fragment containing human DNA could allow the Biological Master to use it as a template and combine everything around to produce more.
“I do know that, although the Biological Master is out of control, it’s still right there because it’s just a thing, after all.”
“These years, you’ve learned to speak so tactfully; just saying that you can handle this thing in this area would’ve been enough.” Qin Muye commented.
“Directly saying it lacks grace, but even facing the Biological Master is not easy to resolve.” Sun Zhen looked serious because he had to ensure Qin Muye’s safety while retrieving the Biological Master.
“Actually, this area here is relatively safe. The Biological Master is easiest to deal with here; other areas are not suitable.” Sun Zhen put it very tactfully.
After all, this thing is unique, just like them.
But his original body is also watching over him, in case they capsized in the gutter, which would be too funny.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust him; he just thinks he’s a bit rash.
But obviously, many things don’t go as hoped.
Initially, the Soldier Statues guarding Taia Palace fell into his hands after Emperor broke free, along with a hundred and eight Copper Men, which was indeed enough.
And it was also necessary to ensure there were no increments in between; otherwise, his lifespan wouldn’t have sufficed, considering Qin Muye only had a hundred thousand years of life.
If he managed to get his hands on the Biological Master, he could at least control these hybrid creatures and clear out a safe zone.
What was more important was that since he had the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch, Qin Muye from a month ago couldn’t find the watch, so it was impossible for him to come looking for him.
The capabilities of the Yellow Millet Seal had been developed by him into various derivatives—in an instant, ice and blood burst explosively, and his massive form expanded rapidly like a ferocious Demon, before he reached out and tore a rushing scale-armored wolf in two.
At that time, the Abnormality had not yet experienced containment failure, so he still had a chance to stop it.
If he could keep upgrading, there was a high chance it would change from one day to one month, but the cost in lifespan would be a hundred thousand years, which might not be worth it.
Time kept reversing and dragging, and the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch in his hand also began to distort until he had reversed about a month, by which time it was completely deformed.
In a matter of breaths, all the scale-armored wolves became a pile of limbs and torsos.
Sun Zhen stated that since he had contained the Biological Master before, he could do it again this time.
Sun Zhen wouldn’t hold Qin Muye responsible for the failure in containment by the All World Protector Organization, so three months ago was actually the most appropriate time point.
So, Sun Zhen was actually embarrassed to truly suggest that Qin Muye use up a hundred thousand years of his lifespan.
So, Sun Zhen hadn’t really thought about it before.
He looked so confident, having been through it once before, he already had a strategy and just needed to do it one more time.
Indeed, he was very strong among ordinary people, but that depended on whom he was compared with—compared to a group of rule-defying Abnormalities, especially an Omega-Level Abnormality, he was no match at all.
This incarnation was only at the third rank and had hardly any combat power; Sun Zhen carrying the Tiger Talisman to enhance his strength was a way to spare his true body from having to help.
Hearing this, Sun Zhen sighed. For them, time was everything; the longer Qin Muye delayed, the more likely he was to spend an extra thousand years of lifespan.
If not for the lack of weapons, these derivatives of Abnormalities wouldn’t even come close to his body, which was already riddled with holes; close combat was actually quite rare.
It was fortunate that it was in the form of the Tiger Talisman; if he had truly brought over the true bodies of the Copper Man and the Soldier Statues, reversing time would have likely been impossible.
One month ago, this place had not yet been established as Sun Zhen’s base.
Therefore, Sun Zhen had naturally surveyed the surroundings.
Therefore, typically, the Biological Master should be vacuum-sealed, preventing it from accessing usable resources, rendering even the most potent Bursting Soldiers and Synthetic abilities useless.
Because if Qin Muye died, he didn’t have a thousand years of lifespan to return to a month earlier and find another Qin Muye. Even if he could go back, Qin Muye was still looking for the Time Retrospective Pocket Watch at that time and definitely couldn’t meet him, and he didn’t know where he was.
Because the Tiger Talisman was one of the few Abnormalities with a relatively small cost, being artificially made for human service, it definitely didn’t carry the various severe costs of most Abnormalities.
That left him only able to bully these weaker Abnormalities.
This time period was stable because if it went back a month earlier, it would truly be a chaotic time full of demons, and Sun Zhen might not have been able to withstand even the rest periods.
This was a highly dangerous Abnormality; the more complex the surrounding environment, the more perfect and powerful the derivatives it spawned.
But if there really was a capsizing, it wouldn’t actually be a problem—it was just a matter of sending another incarnation and incidentally erasing this part of Sun Zhen’s memory.
Putting it bluntly, he could only handle the Biological Master; he’d be beaten in any other place.
It’s saintly if he does it himself, but making others do it makes him a hypocrite.
As the captain of the special task force, being able to fight was one thing, but tactical knowledge was also essential; commanding was his true role.
As a long-serving frontline task force captain, combat for Sun Zhen was as simple as eating and drinking.
