The diplomat's calm and clear communication finally seemed to make the person on the other end of the phone understand what was happening.
Everyone could hear that the person on the other end was trying hard to stay calm, but their voice still involuntarily trembled.
"Good, good! On behalf of the Eastern Country, on behalf of all humanity, we welcome and thank you for coming! We will immediately prepare to receive you!"
The strategic analysts within the team had already typed in the communication channel: "The situation in this world is indeed not optimistic, the sense of despair is heavy, and they still have some doubts about us, their vigilance has been heightened to the extreme."
"Understandable, we also have enough patience to prove ourselves." Zhang Jie also typed.
They could fully understand these people's feelings.
Because if in their world, Shen Yu had not appeared, facing the meteorite monsters, they would not be any stronger than this world.
A mere two or three decades of development is far from enough to give them much advantage.
Moreover, looking at this familiar city around them, the familiar characters, and these familiar people in front of them, the familiar language.
Everything indicated that they were undoubtedly human, their comrades in arms, and even compatriots with a shared culture!
Finally, the diplomats confirmed the rendezvous location, surrounding the battalion to protect it, as they made their way to that location.
Throughout the process, they didn't encounter too many monsters again.
Only a few scattered ones.
This was normal; if those kinds of monsters were everywhere, such a battalion equipped only with conventional weapons would have no place on this battlefield.
They were indeed too weak.
The previous monsters should have also been attracted by the noise of the teleportation.
However, even so, along the way, they still saw some broken limbs and bodies of those in military uniforms.
The monsters seemed to have no interest in consuming humans, but based on previous experiences, monsters would certainly gain something from slaughtering humans.
In addition, they were mostly able to determine which city and what year it was.
Deep City, 1996.
Finally, after leaving Deep City, they waited outside for the military vehicles that had come to pick them up.
However, the soldiers' eyes widened at the sight of the tall, fully-enclosed battle armors, including the high-ranking general who was the liaison just now.
At this moment, he took a deep breath and suppressed his excited expression. Ignoring his adjutant's objections, he took the lead and saluted them.
"General Yan." Zhang Jie took the initiative to remove his battle armor and also saluted.
"Welcome again," Yan Qiangyong said excitedly, shaking Zhang Jie's hand, but looking at the tall battle armor behind him, he couldn't help but ask, "Has the Eastern Country of the parallel universe developed to such a degree?"
Not only possessing such technology but also able to traverse different parallel universes!
He had just urgently contacted scholars domestically, and everyone unanimously stated that the existence of parallel universes was merely science fiction; even the most basic concept of their existence had no possibility of verification!
"No, there's a reason for this," Zhang Jie shook his head. "Our world's progress is slightly ahead of yours, but it's only the year 2027."
"2027?" Yan Qiangyong's eyes widened.
Even with science fiction, he wouldn't believe that in just thirty-one years, they could develop such equipment.
This wasn't just for appearances.
He had heard clearly in the reports he just received that these people, as soon as they appeared, easily eliminated a third-level monster along with dozens of second-level monsters!
If it were them, they would at least need to deploy an artillery battalion to bombard from a distance to possibly destroy the monster's core under concentrated firepower.
"We can gradually understand the specific reasons," Zhang Jie said.
"Good! Good!" Yan Qiangyong also knew this wasn't the place for communication. He glanced behind him and immediately made a decision.
Head to the nearest underground base!
Deep City is now a major battlefield, and the underground base's importance is very high. Theoretically, without determining whether these people are genuinely fellow humans from a parallel universe or new monsters from the meteorite, confidentiality must be maintained.
However, Yan Qiangyong had already made a decision.
In his view, the compatriots from the parallel universe might be the only hope for human civilization.
"Everyone, remove your armors," Zhang Jie also showed enough sincerity.
Everyone removed their armors, got into the vehicles, and let the armors automatically run behind the vehicles.
This highly automated scene amazed everyone once again.
Moreover, after seeing that there were indeed many foreign faces within the team, Yan Qiangyong initially intended to urgently call in some translators, but he was informed that everything within the team was centered around Zhang Jie.
Not only Zhang Jie, but the combat team from the Eastern Country also clearly held a higher status within the team.
You could see this from the boarding sequence and many detailed aspects.
"What is the status of the Eastern Country in the international community thirty-one years later?" Yan Qiangyong asked, pretending to be curious.
"It's not that high," Zhang Jie naturally noticed Yan Qiangyong's thoughts and just explained, "Due to some special reasons, we do indeed have a special status at the moment, but it's not outwardly displayed. In this scale of crisis, humanity needs to unite, and must unite."
"Understood, understood, we have also formed a global coalition." Yan Qiangyong nodded heavily, though his eyes were still a bit red.
As a result, he became even more curious about another parallel universe.
Along the way, besides the diplomatic personnel behind also professionally communicating with specialized liaison officers, Yan Qiangyong continuously engaged in communication with Zhang Jie.
And Zhang Jie had long received instructions from his diplomatic staff to unlock a certain level of confidentiality.
Apart from some confidential content, they could talk about anything else freely.
So Zhang Jie straightforwardly showcased some materials previously downloaded from the internet.
Their preparation was extremely thorough.
No matter which era they arrived in, they could immediately search for information.
For comparison.
At this moment, it also played its role as Yan Qiangyong eagerly absorbed this future information, watching the country grow stronger, observing various international events.
"Good, excellent!" Yan Qiangyong was full of admiration.
From the perspective of this era, the thirty-some years of development were inevitably praiseworthy.
Zhang Jie also didn't overly showcase the shortcomings.
Furthermore, both sides were well aware that in the current situation, these elements had little significance.
The future had long been thoroughly altered with the arrival of the monsters.
And Zhang Jie, slightly gravely, inquired about everything that happened in this world.
"Two months," Yan Qiangyong was filled with guilt, his face even flushed with embarrassment, "It's been only two months since the monsters appeared."
Yes, only two months, but they had suffered heavy losses!
Conversely, looking at the humans from the parallel universe, who had also encountered a crisis, they not only became so powerful but could even come to a parallel universe to assist them.
This disparity indeed filled Yan Qiangyong with some shame.
"I told you, our ability to counter the apocalypse, to fight the monsters, is due to extra reasons," Zhang Jie couldn't accept this comparison calmly.
Even though he only had brief contact with the soldiers from this parallel universe.
However, he still saw the fearless spirit of these soldiers.
Even when faced with being surrounded by layers of monsters, in a virtually certain death situation, they didn't lay down their arms, didn't collapse, and even then instinctively protected those of them who were "unarmed" in the center.
