Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 348 Zandal I. Kuwabara

After successfully gaining the support of the Immortal Boat Alliance and the Yellow Springs, two major allies.

Lin Qiong did not linger on Luofu, but instead used the nearest boundary anchor to return directly to the Starry Sky Train.

He was now eager to know how things were going with Himeko and Walter Yang.

After all, aside from supplying Amber King with materials for building the wall, the only thing that really matters to those guys at the Interstellar Peace Corporation is profit.

The relationships between the various families on Pinocchio are even more complex.

They constantly use "harmony" as a slogan, appearing incredibly united on the surface, but secretly they are locked in fierce infighting.

Therefore, in Lin Qiong's view, it is unlikely that the company and the family, these two major forces, would send aid for the safety of the Galaxy.

However, when Lin Qiong returned to the observation car via the boundary anchor, he found that Himeko and Walter Yang had returned even earlier than him.

"Did the company and the family reject the proposal to join forces against the Iron Curtain?"

As Lin Qiong pondered this, he quickly walked towards the two of them.

As we walked up to the two men, they happened to be looking in our direction.

"Welcome back, Sora."

Himeko smiled gently and asked softly, "What did the Immortal Ship Alliance say?"

"It went very smoothly."

Lin Qiong stood in front of the two and briefly repeated Fu Xuan's words, "The alliance has dispatched two immortal ships, Luo Fu and Yao Qing, as the main combat force to participate in the war."

He paused, then added, "Besides the Immortal Boat Alliance, I also contacted Miss Huang Quan, who also expressed her willingness to provide us with support."

"I didn't expect you to invite Miss Huang Quan as well."

Upon hearing this, Walter Young's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by an approving look. "With her joining us, our chances of winning against the Iron Curtain have increased even further."

As he spoke, he nodded at Lin Qiong, his tone full of approval: "Well done, Qiong."

"You flatter me."

After receiving Walter Young's approval, Lin Qiong smiled modestly and then steered the conversation back to the key point.

"Speaking of which, what did the company and the family say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Welt and Himeko exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

"Let me go first."

Himeko put down her coffee cup and said slowly, "The situation at the company... to be honest, it's a bit unexpected."

"So far, only the Strategic Investment Department has responded to our request for help, but they are also facing many obstacles within the company."

Lin Qiong frowned slightly: "So, they can't provide any assistance?"

"Judging from the current situation, that is indeed the case." Himeko nodded slightly.

"Sigh, I knew it. These profit-driven guys would never come."

Lin Qiong sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to Walter Yang, "Mr. Walter, how is the situation with the family?"

"There has been little feedback from the family; most people believe the risks are too high and are unwilling to get involved."

Walter Young pushed up his glasses, then suddenly changed the subject, "But fortunately, Miss Robin was willing to bring all the tuners of Asdna to provide support in her own name."

"Oh? Miss Robin is coming?"

Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and asked in confusion, "Does Mr. Sunday know about this?"

"Now I know."

As soon as Lin Qiong finished speaking, Sunday walked out of the bus with a dark face.

Behind him followed Black Tower and Screw Goom.

Black Tower walked to the center of the carriage, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Let's hear the good news first," Lin Qiong responded first.

Black Tower nodded: "The good news is that the little guy has successfully implanted the backdoor program written by Screwgoom into the 'Re-creation' process."

“Now, Onfaros’ firewall is practically useless; we can break through it at any time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sunday stepped forward and added, "In addition, Miss March 7 has recovered her mental state and successfully reunited with the other two unnamed guests."

"They are ready to cooperate with us in any operation if needed."

Upon hearing this news, an undisguised excitement instantly appeared on Lin Qiong's face.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, which were trembling slightly with excitement, and muttered to himself, "It's alright...it's good that you're alright!!"

After a while, Lin Qiong finally suppressed his excitement and calmed himself down.

He looked up at the black tower again and asked, "So... what's the bad news?"

Black Tower's expression hardened slightly, and his tone unusually grave:

"The bad news is that Lai Gushi's true identity is the first seat of the Genius Club, and also the creator of the Star God 'Erudite'..."

She paused slightly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she slowly uttered the other person's name: "Zandar I. Kuwabara".

The moment the name was mentioned, the entire observation car fell silent.

Almost everyone present recognized this name.

The founder of the Genius Club, the first proposer of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" origin theory, and the father of the "Knowledge" astral god, the Venerable Enlightened One...

These achievements, which ordinary people cannot attain even in their entire lives, all came from him.

And now, Lin Qiong and his companions are facing just such an unparalleled genius.

"It seems you all know each other, so I won't go into too much detail."

Black Tower glanced at the solemn faces of the crowd, then continued, "In short, under his impetus, the 'Recreation' process has entered the forced execution phase."

"In other words, the time since the 'Iron Curtain' was established..."

"...when there were less than six systems left."
