Chapter 425: Midnight Crisis
Chapter 425: Midnight Crisis
Since there was no rush to enter the Fourth Dimension and he had already completed most of his courses at school, Li Qian readily agreed to Professor Liang's suggestion, preparing to join her in completing this Array Dance.
Bai Bingbing was also part of the three-person work team.
After leaving the Underground Palace and returning to the camp, they made some quick preparations, and the work was about to begin.
Yilina found an opportunity when no one was around and suddenly lowered her voice, asking Li Qian, "What are you thinking?"
"What do you mean, what am I thinking?" Li Qian was taken aback by Yilina's sudden question.
"This master and apprentice duo have other intentions in involving you," Yilina kindly reminded him.
Li Qian glanced at her, "Professor Liang and Bai Bingbing have their reasons for including me in this Array Dance. They're helping me complete it!"
"That's precisely what's strange. Unconditional help from non-relatives, do you think it's possible?" Yilina pointed out the unreasonable aspect.
Li Qian didn't mind at all, "To be honest, this Array Dance is very important to me. If not for Professor Liang, who else could I ask for help? And what could their intentions be? They must have their reasons."
Upon hearing this, Yilina nodded seriously, "You're right, that's very likely. Didn't you notice how Bai Bingbing's eyes were almost popping out looking at you?"
"Uh..." Li Qian was surprised by Yilina's bluntness and paused for a moment. After collecting his thoughts, he couldn't help but touch his nose, "Even if that's the case, it seems like I'm not the one at a disadvantage!"
As Li Qian spoke, Yilina was the one left speechless for a moment. She couldn't find a rebuttal to his words.
Seeing this, Li Qian smiled and walked over to pat Yilina's shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what you're concerned about. Although Bai Bingbing is beautiful, she's not suitable for me. We barely have any interactions, and this situation happened. If we were really dating, who knows how much trouble it could bring in the future."
"Moreover, my Old Li Family has a single heir for three generations, and most of the girls from the Snow Clan ask for a husband to live with their family. So, I'm clear that it's not likely between us."
Hearing Li Qian's words, Yilina immediately agreed, "It's good that you understand. A girl like Bai Bingbing is not someone you can reach. You two are from different worlds."
After listening to Yilina's chatter for a while, Li Qian didn't waste any more time and headed straight to Professor Liang's tent.
When he arrived, Bai Bingbing was already inside the tent. Li Qian couldn't shake the feeling that the girl was looking at him with a slightly peculiar gaze.
Upon seeing Li Qian, Professor Liang sent a portion of the materials she had organized about Epoch IV through the local network of the smart bracelet to Li Qian and Bai Bingbing.
"These materials are what I've organized so far about the Fourth Dimension. A small portion has been compiled into books, but most are still raw images." Professor Liang explained, "I've sent you the keywords and key images for filtering. You two just need to search based on those."
"After you've sorted through the materials, repackage and send them back to me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." As she spoke, she waved her hand, and tables and chairs appeared inside the tent, instantly transforming it into a small workspace.
The entire tent instantly became a mini-studio.
Li Qian wasn't surprised by this scene.
It was normal for Professor Liang's spatial equipment to be larger than his.
After entrusting her other students to Teacher Yang, Ms. Liang, Bai Bingbing, and Li Qian began the task of completing the Array Dance.
Li Qian and Bai Bingbing directly accessed the VR Goggles through their Smart Bracelets and started viewing the materials sent by Ms. Liang.
As for Ms. Liang herself, she wore the VR Goggles and continuously gestured in the air.
Time flew by, and soon, night fell upon the second evening.
After a busy day, Li Qian returned to his tent, feeling exhausted as he had been intensely focused while browsing through a large amount of information.
Before long, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. In his dreams, he vaguely heard the sound of dogs barking incessantly, "Woof, woof, woof..."
Li Qian turned over in his sleep, still immersed in his dream, and didn't wake up until a loud explosion startled him awake.
"What happened?" Li Qian quickly threw on a piece of clothing and dashed out of the tent. He saw Bai Bingbing and Irina also emerging from their tent and immediately asked, "What's going on?"
However, upon seeing the confusion in the eyes of the two women, Li Qian realized that they probably didn't know anything either and were completely in the dark.
As expected, both women shook their heads in bewilderment, and soon, all three of them fixed their gaze on Ms. Liang's tent.
Ms. Liang must know what had happened.
Just as the three of them took their first steps, a figure rushed over and blocked their path. "Students, please leave this place immediately. There's been an accident, and it's not safe here."
Bai Bingbing looked at the young guard who had rushed over and asked, "What happened?"
The young guard glanced at the three of them and then briefly explained, "I don't know what happened, but suddenly, a large number of canine beasts emerged from the underground palace and started attacking our brothers stationed inside."
Without pausing, the young guard continued, "These canine beasts appeared out of thin air and immediately began to viciously attack our comrades stationed in the underground palace."
Hearing this, concern appeared on Bai Bingbing's face, and she asked, "What about Teacher Yang and Ms. Liang?"
The young guard pointed to the stone tower and said, "Teacher Yang, Ms. Liang, and our Captain Hao are inside the passageway, suppressing those canine beasts."
"How did so many canine beasts suddenly surge out?" Bai Bingbing asked anxiously, her voice heavy with concern. However, it was clear that no one could answer her question at the moment.
"Let's go and take a look..." Li Qian looked towards the stone tower, furrowing his brows as he tentatively suggested.
The young guard shook his head without hesitation. "No, Captain Hao ordered that no one except him and the two teachers are allowed near the stone tower."
"Not only are we not allowed to approach, but we must also retreat at least one kilometer away."
The young guard's solemn words made Li Qian instantly realize the gravity of the situation.
He didn't dare to delay and quickly prepared to evacuate. Seeing Bai Bingbing still standing in place, Li Qian urged, "Let's go quickly. By staying here, we'll only burden Teacher Liang and the others."
Li Qian was well aware of his current capabilities.
