Chapter 326: News of Big Brother!

Chapter 326 - 326: News of Big Brother!Chapter 326: News of Big Brother!

August 31st, night.

Capital city.

After dinner, Chen Ye had already washed up and was lying in bed reading a book.

He was heading to the secret realm tomorrow, so he planned to sleep early tonight and conserve his energy.

Downstairs in the living room, the sound of the television could be heard.

It was his parents watching TV.

Although the volume wasn't loud, Chen Ye's hearing was excellent, and he could still hear clearly.

At that moment—

Chairman Chen seemed to receive an important phone call, and his tone instantly changed.

"What? Something like that happened? ...Alright, I'll be right there!!"

Hearing this, Chen Ye immediately sat up in bed.

His mother, Yang Rongzhi, quickly asked, "Old Chen, what happened?"

Chairman Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's urgent. I'll explain when I get back."

With that—

He picked up his coat and prepared to leave.

But Chen Ye was faster. He jumped straight down from the second floor and stood at the front door, blocking his father.

His instincts told him something serious had happened.

And when he saw the dark expression on his father's face, he knew he was right.

"Dad, what's going on?"

"It's complicated..."

"Then let me come with you!"

Yang Rongzhi chimed in from the side, "Yes, let our son go with you!"

She knew the truth about Long Aotian—he was her own son. And with a son who was invincible and could destroy the world, of course she wasn't too worried about him.

If anything, she was more concerned about her husband.

Chairman Chen didn't object. He nodded. "Alright, let's go."

The father and son went straight to the garage.

A jeep quickly pulled out of the neighborhood, while Yang Rongzhi stood worriedly at the gate.

On the road—

Before Chen Ye could ask anything, Chairman Chen spoke up on his own: "Your big brother is in trouble!"

Even though he had already had a bad feeling, Chen Ye was still surprised when he heard that.

What shocked him more was that this was the first time he'd heard any news about his brother in over two years since coming to this world...

Then—

A wave of long-buried memories surfaced in Chen Ye's mind.

His older brother was named Chen Chao, six years his senior.

Eight years ago, he failed to awaken the S3 hero talent.

Although re

A group of personnel arrived, leading several military dogs.

Next,

The researchers began attaching monitoring devices and life-detection equipment to the dogs.

Once everything was set, the instructor gave a command, and the obedient dogs charged into the space-time wormhole.

Unfortunately—

The moment the dogs entered the wormhole, all signals from their monitoring equipment vanished.

Even the life-detection devices disappeared without a trace.

Everyone present wore grim expressions.

Training a military dog wasn't easy.

More importantly, this result confirmed that the wormhole was still filled with danger.

"Could it be... only humans can pass through the wormhole?"

A white-coated expert muttered to himself.

As soon as he said that,

Everyone's expression changed.

That clearly implied they were considering sending in a suicide team.

Everyone looked toward the general.

As the highest-ranking officer present, it was naturally up to him to make the call.

For a moment,

The general was visibly conflicted.

Chen Ye remained silent.

A space-time wormhole was a complete unknown. With no confirmed safety, there was no way he would recklessly risk his life.

If he got trapped inside and the galactic overlord showed up—then what?

Just as the general was preparing to contact higher authorities, something unexpected happened—signals from the equipment tied to the military dogs suddenly reappeared.

"There's a signal! We've got signal again...!"

A monitoring technician cried out in excitement.

His exclamation drew everyone's attention.

They all rushed over to the screens and sure enough, images were coming through.

"I knew it!" an elderly researcher said joyfully. "Since we could detect Zhang and the others' life signals, that proves this wormhole can transmit data."

But no one was interested in the old man's speech right now.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the surveillance feed.

Through the dogs' cameras, they saw the animals had arrived in another world.

The lighting on the other side was very dim, and the area was shrouded in darkness. The visibility extended only about five meters.

Strange, unseen plant life filled the frame.

It appeared to be a wild, untamed environment.

This already confirmed that the other side of the wormhole led to an unknown world.

"There are plants? Since plants exist, then the ecosystem is viable. There's a high probability that animals exist too!"

An expert exclaimed excitedly, "We've discovered an entirely new world!"

Chairman Chen's expression remained grim—his concern was only for his son.

"What about the people who disappeared?"

"Chairman Chen, don't worry," the general said. "Those dogs were trained to follow scent commands. They'll find your son."

And sure enough—

The dogs didn't waste a moment in that foreign land. They immediately began sniffing and searching, clearly looking for something.

Moments later—

One of the dogs barked twice and suddenly darted off in a specific direction.

After covering several hundred meters, the camera finally captured a group of people—about a dozen.

They were the very ones who had been swallowed by the wormhole.

Half of them were researchers, and the other half were logistics personnel assigned to protect them.

As soon as Chairman Chen saw a buzz-cut young man among them, he couldn't hold back his joy: "It's Xiao Chao!!"

Chen Ye also immediately locked eyes on that young man.

The resemblance to their father was undeniable.

"That's Academician Zhang!"

"Professor Li is there too."

"Thank goodness they're safe!"

Cheers broke out among the crowd.

Soon,

Contact was established between both sides.

Everyone learned that the wormhole was a one-way passage—it could take people into that world, but had no exit.

This made things quite troublesome.

The truth was, space-time wormholes were far too mysterious. They were beyond the reach of current human technology.

The institute had only activated the wormhole by sheer chance.

After some discussion, and realizing they had no solution, they had no choice but to wait and see.

"Whatever the case, the fact that you're still alive is already a blessing."

One of the elders spoke up.

He had a point.

Then—

The general picked up the intercom and said, "Please have Comrade Chen Chao speak."

The walkie-talkie was handed to Chen Chao on the other side.

"Commander, awaiting your instructions!"

Chen Chao's voice came through loud and clear, steady and powerful.

There was no video transmission yet, so he couldn't see what was happening on this side.

Chen Chao had no idea that both his father and younger brother had come.

"Comrade Chen Chao, your father came in person to see you after hearing the news," the general said. "He'll speak with you now."

Chen Chao's body visibly trembled on the other end.

He had been away from home for so many years. Contact with family had been rare. Ever since entering the space-time wormhole institute, he hadn't seen them once. For secrecy, he hadn't even spoken to them by phone.

To say he didn't miss his family—impossible. His parents had never mistreated him.

Chairman Chen looked at the monitor showing his son's image, emotions flooding his heart.

He took the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice, "Not bad. You still look alright."

Hearing that familiar voice,

Chen Chao's eyes turned red in an instant.

"Dad... I'm sorry for worrying you."

Chairman Chen was just about to respond—

When suddenly—

A completely unexpected development occurred on the other end.

Shadows began moving rapidly in the darkness, surrounding the group.

Through the surveillance feed, the figures became clearer—strange creatures with bizarre forms.

Their lower halves resembled horses, walking on four legs. Their upper halves were humanoid, with two arms and hands. Their heads looked human too—except they had no noses. Or rather, their noses were located under their chins, pulsing rhythmically with every breath.

On their heads grew a pair of horns.

Overall, they looked vaguely like centaur beasts from video games, yet also distinctly different.

These monsters wielded sharp spears, and without warning, launched an attack on Chen Chao's group.
