Returning to land, even Chen Chen could not help but feel a little conflicted.
Although he had killed the Consciousness Stealer in the real world and the entire human civilization was stabilized and continued, he had failed in this parallel world.
The price of this failure was the decline of human civilization and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. This was not the main issue. The main issue was that Chen Chen did not know what happened to his parents in this world.
For someone like him who had always been dedicated to protecting his parents, this was a heavy burden.
However, now that nearly four hundred years had passed, his generation had long turned into dust. This world was a completely unfamiliar one to Chen Chen.
The only connection he had with this world had been cut off, so he put away the trace of compassion in his heart. Now, he needed to think about how to defeat the Consciousness Stealer of this world and open up the connection between the two worlds so that the other world could invade.
However, before doing all this, Chen Chen had one more thing to do, which was to take a look at the so-called Joint Resistance Army. If possible, he wanted to subdue them and use them for his own purposes.
With this in mind, Chen Chen no longer lingered on the ruins of the Eco Science City but flew toward the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
...
Cyric was a senior fleet commander of the Joint Resistance Army.
He was in charge of a fleet consisting of two destroyers and a cruiser. They cruised the southern Atlantic Ocean all year round, resisting the smuggling and infiltration of the believers of the Consciousness Stealer on the other side of the sea.
Although the ships under his command were extremely old and even older than the crew, it was because of these fleets that the Divine Fusion Empire's infiltration had barely been stopped, allowing the tens of millions of people on the continent to survive until now.
Cyric was already very old. The reason he was able to become the commander of this fleet was because his ancestor used to be the person in charge of a fleet in Northern America. His family had passed down the method of managing a fleet, which allowed the family to grow and multiply.
He wore a faded military uniform and quietly waited in the command room. From time to time, he would pick up the binoculars and look at the horizon of the sea.
However, at this moment, he seemed to see a black dot in the binoculars.
It was something that appeared on the surface of the sea. Under normal circumstances, it would not be visible at all. It was because the binoculars could see farther on the surface of the sea that they could see things dozens of kilometers away.
The black dot seemed to be gradually approaching here.
At first, Cyric thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after a few seconds, he suddenly frowned. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt as if the black dot was growing larger.
Sure enough, the black dot was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
"Radar!"
Cyric hurriedly turned to look at the radar, but when he saw the dark screen, he remembered that the radar had failed a month ago.
This ship was too old, and the advanced technology of mankind had long been lost. Even the equipment on this ship was dismantled from the remnants of ancient ships. Every time it was used, it would be a little less, and there was no way to recreate it.
Therefore, there was no way to repair a high-precision instrument like the radar that was damaged a month ago.
Seeing this, Cyric immediately pressed a red button on the side, ordering the entire fleet to enter a state of emergency. He continued to stare at the black dot with his binoculars, only to discover that it seemed to be a person.
Flying alone in the sky!
"Psionicists!"
Cyric's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. However, the three ships had already entered combat mode. Machine gunners entered the control room of the cannons and aimed at the approaching shadow.
"Get ready!"
Cyric stared at the figure. The figure was moving at an incredible speed. It had only been twenty to thirty seconds since he noticed it, but the figure had already entered the attack range of the fleet.
"Open fire!"
Seeing this, Cyric finally gave the order to open fire!
Instantly, ten Vulcan cannons let out a furious roar, and a torrent of metal shot toward the figure, preventing it from approaching the fleet. Everyone was very familiar with psionicists. It was a strange power that originated from the Consciousness Stealer. It was with this power that the Divine Fusion Empire was able to suppress the Allied Forces and drive them to the west coast of the Indian Ocean.
Streaks of fire crisscrossed above the fleet, weaving a giant web of metal. However, the figure did not stop at all. He braved the countless bullets and swooped down at high speed, quickly reaching the deck of the flagship!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the figure had completely arrived on the deck!
"Protect the general!"
Groups of soldiers immediately rushed forward. They held their rifles and quickly rushed toward the other party's position. However, they saw a slender man slowly stand up from the deck. He looked around at the crowd with a pair of gloomy eyes. For some reason, the moment they saw this pair of eyes, everyone felt an indescribable fear in their hearts.
"I want to see the supreme commander of this fleet."
The man said calmly, completely ignoring the black muzzles around him.
"Capture him!"
Among the crowd, an officer immediately issued the order. Military orders must be obeyed. Although this group of people was afraid of the power of the man, they still braced themselves and rushed forward.
Seeing this scene, the man suddenly frowned. In an instant, with the man as the center, everyone within a fifty-meter radius seemed to be frozen in place, not even their fingers could move!
This man was naturally Chen Chen who had crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
At this time, at this time, Chen Chen used his Field to scan everything on the deck. Soon, he found the person with the highest military rank on the bridge. It was an old man with a white beard. Chen Chen walked toward the man step by step and soon reached the bridge.
"Who are you?"
Although Cyric's expression was calm, he was extremely shocked. It was not that he had not fought with psionics before. The Divine Fusion Empire, which had given up on technology, was able to suppress the Joint Army. In addition to the terrifying alien creature behind them, the main reason why the Divine Fusion Empire could suppress the Joint Army was because of the existence of psionicists.
Otherwise, with their World War II-level technology, the Joint Army would have counterattacked and defeated the Divine Fusion Empire.
However, even a high-level psionicist could at most resist ordinary firepower attacks. This man in front of him, even the ship's cannons could not do anything to him. Was he really a human being with this kind of power?
"I'm not a member of the Divine Fusion Empire and I mean you no harm."
Chen Chen did not beat around the bush. He said directly, "I'm here for one purpose and that is to see the supreme commander of the Joint Resistance Army. I need you to do something for me."
"That's impossible!"
Cyric rejected Chen Chen's request without hesitation. "Even if you kill all of us, I won't allow you to see the supreme commander. That's impossible!"
Chen Chen frowned when he heard this, but he could not bring himself to threaten Cyric. After all, he was not here to start a feud, so he suppressed the displeasure in his heart. "In that case, I won't force you. You should be able to contact your superior directly and have him inform your supreme commander. Tell him that I want to see him. My name is Chen Chen."
"Chen Chen?"
Cyric felt that this typical Eastern name was somewhat familiar, but this was not the time to think about it. He hesitated for a moment. "Then can I ask why you want to see the supreme commander of our Joint Resistance Army?"
"It's just to establish an alliance."
Chen Chen said indifferently, "I'm sure you also want to destroy the Divine Fusion Empire and the Consciousness Stealer. I can help you."
Hearing this reason, Cyric fell into deep thought again as if he was struggling to decide whether he should do as Chen Chen said.
"I've come with sincerity."
Seeing this, Chen Chen knew that Cyric was hesitating, so he struck while the iron was hot. "You only need to be responsible for communication. As for the choice, you can leave it to your superior and let him decide whether or not to agree to my request."
"Alright, I can give it a try..."
Hearing this, Cyric finally stopped hesitating and nodded decisively. "But this place is too far away from land. I can only contact my superior after the fleet docks. If you don't mind, you can stay on my ship for the time being..."
"Very well."
The corner of Chen Chen's mouth curled up. In the next second, everyone who was nailed to the ground suddenly felt their bodies relax and they regained control of their bodies.
On the entire warship, the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Those people hurried to the bridge but still looked at Chen Chen warily.
"Prepare a lounge for this gentleman!"
Cyric immediately ordered.
The first officer at the side rolled his eyes. He immediately walked forward and made a respectful gesture. "Sir, please follow me!"
Chen Chen nodded and followed the Chief Officer out of the bridge.
After waiting for the Chief Officer to leave, Cyric and the soldiers present silently breathed a sigh of relief. A deputy commander stepped forward with a solemn expression. "Boss, are you really going to do as he says?"
"Do we have any other choice?"
Cyric asked with a frown. "The other party clearly has the strength to easily destroy our fleet. Since he didn't do so, we don't want to anger him like this."
As he spoke, he gave a look to a few of the higher-ups present, and everyone immediately walked towards a room.
"Chen Chen..."
In the room, they found their seats and sat down. Cyric lit a cigarette and frowned. "Do you guys notice that this name seems a little familiar?"
"It's a typical Chinese name."
The deputy commander immediately answered, "But I think I've heard this name before. It seems... It's a name that has been mentioned many times in the history of our Joint Army."
Hearing this, the others did not react but Cyric seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed. "Impossible... Could it be him?"
...
Chen Chen naturally did not believe that the other party did not have the ability to remotely transmit information. Even if technology had regressed, at least simple wireless communication technology could be preserved.
However, he also turned a blind eye to it. All he wanted was a result, and he didn't care about the process.
At this time, he was taken to a lounge in the cabin. This lounge was obviously the room of an officer, but it had been urgently vacated. The room was filled with the smell of tobacco.
The cruiser was not large, only about a hundred meters long and its displacement did not exceed fifty thousand tons. Still, for the Divine Fusion Empire, it was very good.
Clearly, the Joint Resistance Army still retained a certain degree of technology.
Still, it was only a part of it. At least, Chen Chen only saw cannons that fired bullets on the warship and those cannons were manually operated. There was not even a single cannon that fired shells. It was obvious that the industrial system had greatly regressed.
Chen Chen did not know what happened to the Northern American and South American Continents. The Northern American Continent was once the hegemon of the Earth Federation. If the so-called Divine Fusion Empire had been at its peak, it would not have lasted more than half a month. In the face of modern weapons, this group of civilization that had fallen into the Middle Ages was no match at all.
Now, according to Chen Chen's understanding, the Divine Fusion Empire had the upper hand. The Joint Resistance Army was only barely holding on. If it were not for the fact that the two sides were separated by the sea, they would have been wiped out by the Empire.
Still, since so many years had passed, Chen Chen sat on the bed and began to think about the next plan.
Two days later.
When Cyric's fleet returned to the port, there was already an additional heavily armed army in the port.
Chen Chen stood on the deck and saw a group of soldiers in military uniforms standing at the port with rifles in their hands. However, these people's equipment was somewhat crude. Apart from the military uniforms, they did not even have bulletproof vests or helmets. The weapons in their hands were the AK series, which was the easiest to manufacture.
Behind this group of soldiers, Chen Chen could also see some vehicles of various styles, but they were all old and worn out. The entire army consisted of more than three thousand people.
Chen Chen glanced at the sky and immediately determined his current position. He should be in the coastal area of Brazil.
Following Chen Chen's appearance, several elderly men with the rank of general also appeared at the forefront of the army.
"Your Excellency."
The leading general led the group forward. He first observed Chen Chen for a while with a scrutinizing expression, then extended a hand. "I'm the supreme commander of the Joint Resistance Army's South American division, Anderson Tobias."
"I'm Chen Chen."
Chen Chen shook the general's hand.
"Please forgive my rudeness."
However, the general suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, the name Chen Chen should be the chairman of Blacklight Biotechnology who led mankind in the battle against the Consciousness Stealer 378 years ago?"
"You know me?"
Chen Chen showed a look of surprise when he heard this. As expected, Blacklight Biotechnology, which he had single-handedly created, would not be destroyed so easily.
