"The group of reincarnators who speak strangely?"

Chen Qing returned in such a low key that he had not even informed the Shen Family yet; the first to come looking for him was Wei Gongcheng, who was stationed in Lyuzhou.

Wei Gongcheng was excited to see Chen Qing return, but before he could inquire about the situation in Yundu, Chen Qing asked him about the pressing issues first.

Seeing the serious expression on Chen Qing’s face, Wei Gongcheng was slightly stunned.

He rarely saw Chen Qing like this; the man always had a nonchalant manner, giving others the impression of playing through life.

In past crises, he never treated them seriously, the last time he was this serious was when he visited Digital City.

Could something have happened?

Seeing this, he also turned serious and quickly pulled out all the data from the Hell Ruler.

Currently, only he knew about the matters concerning the reincarnators, thus he was responsible for the reincarnations and transfers of the reincarnators, naturally including those from the Western Ansa Aristocrats.

"According to your previous orders, all reincarnators’ transfer data are secretly stored. It’s all here."

Chen Qing took the ledger handed over and began flipping through it.

Due to the agreement with Digital City, they had already received reincarnators three times in the past six months, totaling over a hundred thousand people.

The number officially designated by the government was not large, less than three thousand people, while most were civilians by birth.

The majority of the civilians were reincarnated to Yunzhou and overseas, and their memories had to be erased, which was a measure initially adopted for fear that the reincarnators would conflict with the local NPCs.

Only a few people from the Digital City Noble Family who were willing to go to the Northern Wasteland were allowed to retain their memories.

Chen Qing opened a gateway in the Northern Wasteland because he wanted to draw out the people behind the scenes.

Because if there really were people behind the scenes, the location of the Northern Wasteland was the best place to covertly collude with the Four Major Guilds, and releasing this outlet was meant to lure the snake out of its hole.

The other group that could retain their memories was the Western Ansa Aristocrats.

Honestly, when those people strongly demanded to retain their memories, Chen Qing really didn’t take it seriously because he had planned to marginalize this group from the beginning.

The place designated for exile was the most remote island; of course, the resources were not bad, rather quite generous.

Back in the day, the Ansa Aristocrats had explored the sea and found the treasure-filled location of America, thus creating a superpower.

Chen Qing was quite curious to see whether these people could replicate something similar here.

The official reply was also consistent; perhaps this statement triggered their inherent sense of glory, and surprisingly, no one opposed it. Chen Qing then naturally sent that group of people there.

But who would have thought that the masterminds would turn up here?

"The number isn’t small..." Wei Gongcheng pointed at the ledger and said, "Three batches entered over half a year. Since the first batch acted too foolishly, Ali initially was quite interested in these people but eventually even lost the interest to come see them."

Chen Qing: "....."

Ali...well...

Ali is a modern person, naturally curious about the compatriots that appeared.

She came to join in the fun the first time, and there were foreigners in the crowd; being a lively personality, she naturally came to watch something rare, and it was also with her own permission, as Ali inherently possessed a filtering ability.

And afterwards, Ali lost interest....could that mean...

"The Westerners in the batch that Ali didn’t attend, were there any differences from before?" Chen Qing quickly asked.

"It seems there aren’t many differences.... But there were some changes in the identity reports," Wei Gongcheng recalled the situation at the time and spoke in a low voice.

"What’s different?" Chen Qing asked hastily.

"It seems like some people inside claim to be military personnel..."

"Military personnel?" Chen Qing’s heart skipped a beat slightly.

Upon recalling Tianji’s identity, Tianji was originally a special forces soldier in the Central Federation, who was pulled into a secret base for three years of training, and then directly sent into this world.

"Um... that was the report at the time." Wang Ye nodded, "But I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, after all, it’s not uncommon for Reincarnators to have a military identity, most of those sent to the Northern Wasteland are military personnel, those Reincarnators who don’t look like Central Plains People are marginalized, treated like Barbarians, even if their original identity was military personnel, I really didn’t take it seriously. "

Chen Qing nodded upon hearing this, this attitude was quite normal, at first, perhaps there would be curiosity and wariness towards Reincarnators, but after interacting with them, and realizing that their knowledge and strength levels were just so, the vigilance would naturally relax, especially towards those groups of Western people.

The disdainful and foolish appearance, just abandoning the great resources of Jiangnan for the color of their skin, insisting on going to a remote island overseas, who wouldn’t inwardly curse them fools?

But now it seems... perhaps it’s not that simple.

Actually, Chen Qing was initially curious, did those white people really value skin color so much? Abandoning great resources?

If the first group that arrived were fools, then the second and third times still being the same, isn’t that being stubborn to a fault?

At this moment, Chen Qing suddenly felt a sense of alertness.

Is it possible... it was intentional?

Indeed... among those groups of Western people, there are fools, who obsess over skin color as a sign of noble bloodline, even to the point of paranoia, but in today’s forward-thinking modern era, logically, normal people should be more common, so why are all those who come over of that paranoid type?

Initially, Chen Qing thought that the majority who came first were Ansa Aristocrats, this group inherently prides itself on their skin color and bloodline, it’s not strange for them to be stubborn, but now it seems maybe not.

Deliberately picking a group of paranoid people to lower their guard, secretly mixing in some other elements.

With this thought, Chen Qing could no longer sit still: "Prepare a ship, I want to go to that island immediately!"

-----------------------------------------

The island arranged for the Western people is called Emerald Island, this name was chosen by them, after all, the island is too remote and quite primitive, it was nonexistent among the hundreds of islands in the West Sea back then.

The people there are primitive because due to the overly abundant natural resources of the island, there is absolutely no intention to leave and venture out from the island, the comfortable life has resulted in almost no maritime trade, initially the Western Sea Army cleared the zombies all the way there, it was only by chance that the island was discovered.

If it weren’t too remote, the island could even become another Jiangnan.

Western people are very satisfied with the environment of this island, rich natural resources, away from the war-torn situation of the Central Plains, isn’t this the template of America from the past?

Thinking of this even if the conditions were a bit harsh at the time, those white people still chose it without hesitation, obviously very confident in their ability to recreate themselves.

At that time, Chen Qing did not take these people seriously at all, after all, the demonstrated combat power of the Western Federation was too shabby, additionally, in the world completely controlled by the Central Federation, with its official nature, it’s nearly impossible for outsiders to intervene.

Initially, he thought these people were outsiders.

But at this moment, he finally confirmed, he had underestimated these Ansa people.

After landing on the island, Chen Qing discovered something was wrong, the Hell Ruler of this island... was sealed!!!
