Chapter 019 My son has the potential to become an emperor?
Xie Linyuan shook his head.
"I haven't seen them, but they were taken away like you back then, so there must be some trace of them."
Over the years, the base has taken away quite a few pioneers.
If the matter wasn't handled secretly as we thought, then where are these people?
What are you doing now?
Xie Linyuan truly lived up to his reputation as the calmest among Yan Zhiyu and the others; even at this moment, his mind remained clear.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shisan also began to ponder.
To be honest, he didn't really care much about his parents and siblings.
There was no memory of these people in his mind; the reason for such a strong reaction was simply surprise.
I don't care, but I'm genuinely curious.
"You suspect they've been completely brainwashed by Al-Qaeda? And they're still working for Al-Qaeda."
Xie Linyuan glanced at Er Er: "It's not necessarily brainwashing. As far as I know, there's a surgery that can remove the frontal lobe of the brain, causing people to lose their cognitive and decision-making abilities, and even affecting their emotional expression."
There are actually many surgeries like this; the base has the capability to perform them.
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Er Er again.
Meng Shisan pondered for a while, stroking his chin, and said, "If it really is them, and they want to be my enemy, then I have no choice but to put righteousness before family."
Don't worry about that, not to mention I have absolutely no impression of them.
Even though we've been together since childhood, the base is causing so much trouble for this little girl. If they don't stand by my side, then they have no right to talk to me about blood ties.
"Just hearing that is enough."
……
The group discussed some minor details and were just about to rest when a roaring sound came from afar.
The group instantly prepared for battle. Even though they all guessed that Lu Ping had returned, it did not affect their gun-raising posture at all.
"Keep your hands steady and open your eyes wide. I don't want to die before I even get started!" Lu Ping shouted from a distance.
Only then did everyone put down their guns.
"All done?" Yan Zhiyu asked, then sat back down.
Lu Ping plopped down between Xie Linyuan and Yan Zhiyu: "Don't you trust me to handle things?"
Now everyone started to lay in ambush in various places according to plan, except for Xie Linbo, who led a team to lead them towards the Burial Soul River.
After saying that, he looked at Xie Linyuan and said, "I'm saying you two brothers, are you really blood brothers?"
"A cunning old man and a crazy young man, these two brothers can't even make a normal person."
"We haven't been exposed, have we?" Meng Shisan didn't care about anything else.
"No way." Lu Ping smiled smugly. "You don't understand. We people don't have any secret codes, but as long as you tell them where there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent, they will know to come north."
If you're looking for a place with many temples and pavilions shrouded in mist and rain, then you should head south.
"Different cultural levels mean it's a clear case of 'dimensional reduction' (i.e., a significant advantage)."
Speaking of this, Lu Ping couldn't hide his smugness.
"It's not easy. You, who failed your exams as a child, have managed to pretend to be a cultured person?"
What was your score on the college entrance exam again?
"Ninety-nine," Xie Linyuan added at the opportune moment, "Total score."
"I did it on purpose, you guys don't know anything," Lu Ping said, unfazed. "Now, isn't it time to stir things up?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked up and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker.
Seeing this, Meng Shisan immediately picked up a stone and started gesturing on the ground.
"Our plan is to encircle and ambush reinforcements at the Zanghunjiang location."
However, the number of people should not be too large. Each of their base vehicles can only accommodate a maximum of seven people, and in reality, it is estimated to be only two or three.
If they don't see any chance of rescue, I reckon they'll just give up.
Then our plan is ruined.
After listening to Meng Shisan's explanation, Xie Linyuan circled the area Meng Shisan had outlined: "You want to trap them in a piecemeal attack strategy?"
"Yes." Meng Shisan nodded. "They definitely don't have many people. Taking them down one by one shouldn't be a problem."
To be honest, even if they all came together, we would still have the numerical advantage, but there's no need to take the risk.
"Then let's get started, I can't wait!" Lu Ping said, rubbing his hands together.
It's clear that he's genuinely looking forward to it.
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhiyu looked at Meng Shisan and said, "You don't need to go. In the end, this matter is for our own good."
Furthermore, it's best not to expose 22. If it is, the base will likely spare no effort to send people to hunt it down.
"What if we encounter pioneers?"
Xie Linyuan thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "In that case, you just need to stay within a 30-mile radius of us. If we encounter any pioneers, we will notify you via radio."
When the time comes, if you hear someone on the radio shouting, "My son has the potential to be an emperor," then you've encountered a pioneer.
Meng Shisan almost couldn't hold back, but he still forced himself to say, "Okay."
"Then, see you at the base," Xie Linyuan said, extending his fist.
Meng Shisan bumped fists with Meng: "See you at the base."
After saying that, the group got into the car, without any grand ambitions or tragic sentiments.
Only after Meng Shisan had settled Er Er and the base vehicle started moving did he ask in his mind, "Baozi, what did you find out?"
"You've been exposed."
"Were we exposed?" Meng Shisan asked tentatively. "Xie Linyuan?"
"Yes," Baozi said. "That guy is so smart. Didn't you notice? He was testing you the whole time."
"A test?" Meng Shisan frantically recalled everything that had just happened in his mind.
"Think about it, from besieging the point to attacking the reinforcements to the incremental tactics, from my son having the potential to be an emperor to the final fist bump, wasn't he testing us all along?"
He suspects you, like them, are a time traveler.
"No, when did he start to suspect me?"
Meng Shisan really couldn't understand it, because he had always been very cautious.
Even when he heard that my son had the potential to become an emperor, he didn't laugh. Yet, even under these circumstances, Xie Linyuan still doubted him.
"Does he have some other plans?" Meng Shisan immediately calmed down.
If they have other plans, then we must make arrangements in advance, and even newly made plans are worth considering.
"No, not at all," Baozi said casually. "That guy suspects you haven't realized you're a time traveler yet."
Actually, it took them some time to realize they were time travelers.
"Not aware?" Meng Shisan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Do you think everyone is like you?"
You should know that your memories are suppressed. You don't even know who you were originally, let alone realize that you are a time traveler!
Being able to break through memory suppression is already quite impressive.
How many people...
At this point, Baozi seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject, "But this Xie Linyuan is indeed very powerful. Sometimes, he is so calm that he doesn't seem like a normal person."
"How many people are involved and what happened?" Meng Shisan ignored Xie Linyuan's topic and asked a follow-up question, having already gotten a vague answer.
Perhaps there are many other time travelers in the base, but because their memories are suppressed, they have no idea that they are time travelers.
"So many people are about to die!" Baozi said irritably. "Can't you stop prying and just find the answer yourself?"
After saying that, Baozi became completely still. No matter how Meng Shisan called out to him, the guy was as if he were dead.
"Are you angry?" Meng Shisan was somewhat incredulous. Was it really that serious?
Such a small thing, and even a chatterbox has learned to shut up?
"This guy has secrets too!" Meng Shisan nodded with certainty.
