Did the world end today?

Chapter 126 Two Doomsdays
Shen Li's tone was icy, and from his short sentence, Lin Xu sensed a chilling aura unique to "totalitarianism".

是 的
The world is not what I expected.

But it turned out to be exactly what I had in mind.

It is a world that has been completely torn apart!
What organization does the first mate and his group represent?
"Where are you from?"

Lin Xu asked:
“You must have an organization, and you must have a strict operating system.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to organize such a large-scale ‘rebellion’.”

"You can even infiltrate the Skyfire project, and you can even cause large-scale disasters on Earth—that's part of your plan, isn't it?"

"Earth??"

The first mate looked at Lin Xu in astonishment, and asked with a face full of doubt:

What's happening to Earth??

Lin Xu glanced at his watch.

At this point, 35 minutes had passed since he entered the bracelet world.

In 14 minutes, the entire Earth will be enveloped by that red light that will inevitably destroy the world.

But it seems...
The first mate was unaware of this?
"you do not know??"

"How would I know?? Should I know??"

For the first time, a look of panic appeared on the first mate's face.

“We just want to destroy the Skyfire Project because those involved in it are all so-called ‘theocrats’.”

“Once they are dead, we can take over the Butterfly Plan, we can control the key figures who call themselves ‘pollen,’ and we can welcome the arrival of the butterflies in a better way.”

"Jiang Xingye should have been caught by now."

"But what about Earth? What about disaster?"

"We never planned anything like this!"

"We just want to save humanity from sliding into the abyss; we don't want to destroy our own world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu stared in disbelief.

But then, he suddenly realized something.

indeed.

Logically speaking, this doesn't make sense.

How could the torn-up other half, like the first mate, possibly pursue power at the cost of destroying the world?
They simply believe that humanity has gone in the wrong direction, and all they want to do is correct that wrong direction.

Even if they want to seize power, usurp the throne, and become the leader, they would never go to extremes in their first action!

"Destroy the Skyfire Plan"—that's the action plan that matches their current "ideology"!
Depend on!
One layer of mist was lifted, but another layer of mist began to spread again.

Lin Xu's mind was racing as he carefully sorted through the information he had, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

But it seems too late now.

The Palace of Mars is burning, breaking apart, and then falling.

The dust storms on Mars have not yet stopped.

"Get in touch with your leader!"

"Make him stop attacking!"

"I can't die here. I have to wait until the end of the world really comes."

"I need more clues!"

"Especially clues related to 'the destruction of Earth'!"

"Can I trust you?"

The first mate looked at Lin Xu.

At this moment, he still seemed unable to recover from the long-standing isolation and repression.

"I don't trust Shen Li, nor do I trust the totalitarians behind him."

"Perhaps their intentions were good, but they went down the wrong path."

"I can no longer risk betting everything on them, I..."

"I do not come from this world!"

Lin Xu spoke very quickly:

"The problems you are experiencing have already been discovered in my world."

"We've even started correcting this problem!"

"So it's not that I'm slow, it's that you're slow!"

"Don't waste any more time, it's too late!"

".good!"

The first mate gritted his teeth and then looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li paused for a second, then decisively ordered that his privileges be restored.

"You shouldn't use such extreme methods."

"Do not talk nonsense."

The first mate interrupted Shen Li.

"I think you know better than anyone who the most extreme person is among us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted:

"Zero! Zero!"

"I am Dong Hui, First Mate of the Vermilion Bird No. 1. I request that the operation be terminated immediately!"

"I have captured the butterfly. Repeat, cease operations immediately!"

"The end of the world is coming soon, we don't have time!"

The news spread, and the first mate waited anxiously.

Meanwhile, Lin Xu was not idle either.

He turned to Shen Li beside him and said:

"Send me all the technical documents you have!"

Nuclear fusion, room-temperature superconductivity, brain-computer interfaces, quantum communication, and quantum computing.

"Give me whatever you have, I want it all!"

"clear."

Shen Li gave a simple answer, and immediately a holographic projection appeared in front of Lin Xu.

This time, he didn't need to repeatedly request "refinement" of the technology. Because of the Butterfly Plan, all the technology was already refined the moment it reached Lin Xu's hands!
However, such meticulous arrangements only made Lin Xu more puzzled.

If the "pollen" of this world, namely Jiang Xingye, clearly knew that the butterflies were about to descend, and even made a series of preparations according to the guidance she received, then why didn't she directly tell the humans of this world the exact time of the apocalypse?
Or is it that the timing of the apocalypse is simply unpredictable?
Lin Xu quickly glanced at the time; 46 minutes had passed since he entered the bracelet world.

Based on our experience in the previous world, Deimos should have been torn apart by gravity by this point in time!
But right now, the outer space outside the spaceship remains silent.

Fires on Earth
Was it caused by humans, or was it a "disaster that occurred after it was transferred"?

If the starting point of the disaster has shifted from Mars to Earth, what factors have caused this phenomenon, which involves "fundamental rules," to change?
Lin Xu's mind was in turmoil, but he still forced himself to read the information in the document.

Because this is almost the only thing he can do right now, and it's also the most useful thing he can do.

Nuclear fusion.
They actually have data on nuclear fusion!

Let's start with nuclear fusion!
First wall material!
Lin Xu finally managed to get into it, but just then, after the first mate kept calling, a reply came from the spaceship from what was supposedly Zero.

"I have received your request, and the reply is a rejection."

"I demand that you immediately destroy the carrier of the 'butterfly'!"

"It is the root of the disaster, and we must not compromise!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

The first mate stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

"The end of the world is coming soon, and the butterflies are our only chance!"

"I cannot accept orders; I want to know why!"

"Why? Because the apocalypse is a complete lie!"

Zero's voice came again.

"Don't you understand? The so-called apocalypse is nothing but a tool fabricated by those 'theocracy' to maintain their totalitarian rule!"

"There is no such thing as the end of the world. If humanity is to be destroyed, it will be by humanity itself!"

"Kill the butterfly, destroy Project Skyfire!"

"We still have a chance!"

In that instant, the first mate's gaze towards Lin Xu changed slightly.

Qi Yuan, who was standing guard to the side, instinctively raised his gun, but Lin Xu immediately pressed his hand down.

"Whether there's an opportunity or not, we'll see soon enough."

"But now, my most important problem is how to get in touch with Jiang Xingye."

"I have many questions to ask her, and I need to establish contact with her!"

"Jiang Xingye is at the Zhurong Base."

First Mate Dong Hui's tone was heavy, but he immediately followed up with another question:
Is what Zero said true?

"Is the doomsday prophecy a lie??"

I can't prove to you whether the doomsday prophecy is a lie.

Lin Xu shook his head and said:
"But according to the speed of light, the Earth would already be destroyed by now."

"In 30 seconds, we will be able to observe images of the Earth."

"Shen Li, bring up the monitoring images from the telescope system."

"clear."

Shen Li nodded, and the next second, the images captured by the deep-space telescope pointed at Earth were presented to everyone.

At first, it was just a blue, peaceful, and tranquil planet.

Lin Xu noticed that a massive "space fleet" was parked in outer space orbit.

Ten seconds later, an explosion suddenly occurred in the center of the fleet.

It seemed to spread from a singularity, and the entire "space dock" was destroyed almost instantly.

All the ships were reduced to ashes, followed by a burst of intense light that was definitely not produced by the so-called "nuclear-thermal liquid oxygen engine" explosion.

The surface facing the space dock was swept away in an instant, and blazing flames roared.

The entire Earth was a blood red.
-
No, only the side facing Mars.

This is definitely not the kind of world-ending disaster that Lin Xu is familiar with!
Its form of expression is completely different!

Intense rays accompanied by visible light reached Mars, the image vanished instantly, and communication with the so-called "Zero" was immediately cut off.

Lin Xu glanced at the time one last time; exactly 49 minutes had passed since he entered the bracelet world.

Disaster struck at that moment.

The first mate, Dong Hui, on the other side was completely stunned.

From his perspective, Lin Xu accurately predicted the arrival of the apocalyptic disaster, which is enough to prove his significance as a "butterfly".

But Zero confidently stated, "The apocalypse does not exist?"
At this moment, it is clear who is right and who is wrong.

"We need to go to Mars."

The first mate spoke up:
"There's still time. We can travel to Mars in a small landing craft."

"I'll get ready right away!"

As he spoke, he immediately prepared to log in using the restored permissions.

Lin Xu ignored him and focused solely on cramming information about the first layer of nuclear fusion materials into his own mind.

He's already mastered it.

Dual-purpose.

Three minutes later, the landing ship was ready.

Led by Shen Li, Dong Hui, and Bai Mo, Lin Xu walked towards the landing module, but at that moment, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Dong Hui, who was walking ahead of him, seemed to be walking faster and faster.
-
No, to be precise, his actions were accelerated.

Lin Xu's eyes were about to split.

He looked back.

Through the porthole.

Deimos is being torn apart.

11:56 AM Earth time.

The real catastrophe has finally begun.

Lin Xu's body is also decomposing.

His consciousness gradually began to fade away.

And at the edge of his vision, the fire on the ground was still burning fiercely.
