Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 87: Stumbling Across the Cause of the Apocalypse on an Extraction Mission

Ye Xuan sped his way through the highway towards the city center.

He wanted to go slower so that he could spend more time with Chu Miao but he knew that she was worried about her family. So, he could only follow the unspoken wishes of the girl.

"I meant to tell you something this morning, but I forgot." He started talking.

He didn’t know how to broach the subject so that he doesn’t appear nosy, but he figured that being straightforward was the best way.

It will show that he had no hidden agendas and was only concerned about Chu Miao.

"What did you want to say?" Chu Miao asked. She couldn’t think of anything of importance that concerned her that Ye Xuan would want to tell her.

But from interacting with him over the past month, she also knew that he was not a talkative person and only spoke when something was of high significance.

"Your ability to teleport, it’s better if you don’t use it casually. It might bring some trouble." After speaking, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, being straightforward made it easier to say.

"Huh! Why is that?" This was the first time she had heard that her teleportation ability might cause trouble. Even her grandfather had not said anything.

"In Country M, there are scientists who have been studying teleportation and time-travel for decades now. Some of the enthusiastic scientists in our country have also joined in the frenzy the last few years. freёnovelkiss.com

They seem to think that mastering time-travel and teleportation might help in advancing their country or changing history.

It is a topic that is usually discussed in the dark as much of what they do is against the beliefs of many people. It might also cause chaos if some powerful people came to find out.

Can you imagine if people could use time travel to change what had happened in the past with the knowledge of what would happen in the future?" Ye Xuan explained.

When she heard what he had said, Chu Miao was shocked. She herself had traveled through time and space from the Wuxin dynasty thousands of years ago to the present era, but she understood that it was only a matter of chance, and a mission to fulfill destiny.

It had nothing to do with her own ability, since now if someone asked her to travel back to the past, she would not be able to.

She was shocked that there were people attempting something that was equivalent to going against the gods.

No wonder even her grandfather knew nothing about this, because she was sure he would be against it.

"If something like that happened. Those in power would probably do everything to use this ability to live forever, or go back in time and revive the dead. It would be complete chaos." Chu Miao said after thinking about it.

"Indeed, some time ago, it was said that they had made some breakthroughs. I have no idea what that breakthrough is, but they seemed to have opened a portal for a second before it closed.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t determine what the portal was for and where it led, but you can imagine even with such a small and unverified achievement, they became even crazier about their research. Believing that if they kept going in that direction they would succeed.

They associate time-travel with teleportation because both involve travelling through time and space.

It would be a bad idea if you get noticed by these people." Ye Xuan explained his source of concern.

"Since they do these things in such secrecy, how did you know about it?" Chu Miao was curious about this.

She knew that the guy had been a major in the army before retiring, but his position was not high enough to come into contact with such knowledge.

"Three years ago I went to Country M for an extraction mission of a scientist held hostage. It seemed he had accidentally discovered something while doing research and didn’t even notice it.

He ended up letting it slip during a conference and those doing the research about time-travel caught what he said, while others who had no idea about it just ignored that small detail, including the scientist himself.

It was not until a week later when he disappeared that the government took notice. Some time-travel enthusiasts informed the government about his slip-up and what it meant.

That’s when I was ordered to go on an extraction mission and bring him home. Of course, at the time I didn’t know the reason for his kidnapping, and the government also had an ulterior motive.

After all, someone who could stumble upon such a breakthrough while doing a completely unrelated research was a big asset to the country." Ye Xuan continued to explain.

"They must also have wanted to use him to research the so-called time-travel themselves." Chu Miao interjected. She may be young, but she had seen her fair share of struggle for power in the ancient era.

The fight for the throne among princes was always bloody. It was a good thing her family had always been general’s only loyal to the crown and didn’t involve themselves in the fight for the throne.

"That’s true. I went to Country M and managed to bring the guy out. He is a very talkative guy, which explains why he let something that shouldn’t slip during conversation.

While waiting in a safe house he kept talking about how the scientists in Country M were crazy forcing him to explain a stupid concept he mentioned offhandedly over and over again claiming that it was the key to time-travel.

That’s when I understood why he had been kidnapped, but he didn’t seem to think that his concept was right. However, it was that same concept that allowed those scientists from Country M to open a portal for that one second." He continued to tell Chu Miao how he came across knowledge of this well-hidden research.
