Chapter 326 - 224: A Familiar World
In the middle of a river, there was an exposed sandbank, seldom visited and relatively remote. Yet, as the space twisted, an unstable circular halo appeared—a gate of cross-border opened. The team of six emerged out of thin air here, all so abruptly, and with the successful end of their cross-border action, the wormhole behind them quickly closed.
"The gate has been closed, how will we return?" Zhang Jing asked while surveying the surroundings.
"This exploration mission lasts for three months. After three months, the signal receivers in your backpacks will receive the retreat signal from our world. Twenty-four hours after that, the cross-border gate will open again. By then, everyone must gather in advance and leave together. If we miss this chance, we’ll have to wait another month, as that’s when the second batch of cross-border explorers will come. There will be another chance to retreat then. If we miss the second retreat opportunity as well, then we have to wait till the second batch of cross-border team finishes their missions and return with them."
"But I think, missing three chances to return could only mean two possibilities, either they’ve died in World 36, or they’ve decided not to return, wanting to stay here."
As the team leader, Zhang Xun spoke calmly, well-versed in the procedures of crossing borders.
The others nodded in agreement, finding his point reasonable.
If someone could miss such crucial timing for crossing back, they were either dead or had done it intentionally.
