Did the world end today?

Chapter 212 I've Waited for You for Nine Years (First Update)
"So our next goal is to continue pushing Sky Dome Technology's exploration of gravity penetration technology?"

A familiar voice came from the doorway. Lin Xu opened his eyes, but instead of Jiang Xingye, he saw Bai Mo sitting opposite him.

She seemed oblivious to the change in her expression and continued talking.

"The government is making relatively quick progress in the area of ​​gravity penetration technology."

"If we want to attract more talent, we will definitely have to find ways to poach people from our ranks."

"However, suitable talent is scarce, and this needs to be carefully considered."

Lin Xu looked around and found that he was in a conference room that didn't look particularly special.

Sitting opposite him was Bai Mo, and next to him was Jiang Xingye.

In addition, there were several people he didn't know, and one person he did know.

Qi Yuan.

He sat silently in the corner, a pistol hanging at his waist, his eyes sharp, diligently fulfilling his security duties.

where is this?

Which point in time is this?

Lin Xu took out his phone and checked the time.

2036, July 5.

The timeline has really been pushed back!
Although we haven't gone back to the hour before the apocalypse, at least it has become one.
Truly random!
Seeing that Jiang Xingye was still discussing the so-called "gravitational penetration" technology with Bai Mo, Lin Xu couldn't wait a second longer.

He didn't interrupt, but quietly typed a word on his phone and then handed it to Jiang Xingye.

On the phone screen, there is a word "Zeroth".

Jiang Xingye's expression changed.

Then, she immediately stood up and said:
"That's all for today's meeting."

"Bai Mo, Qi Yuan, Su Yuchen, the three of you come with me."

"And Lin Xu."

The other people in the conference room exchanged puzzled glances, seemingly confused as to why Jiang Xingye had suddenly called a halt to the meeting.

Even Bai Mo and the others had a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Of everyone present, only Lin Xu and Jiang Xingye truly understood the situation.

But neither of them said a word.

Following Jiang Xingye out of the conference room, Lin Xu realized that the conference room was not located in an office building.

Instead, it was in a mountain villa.

Outside the door lies a vast landscape of karst landforms, with post-rain mist swirling around the mountains, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.

No way?
Could Jiang Xingye have created some kind of fraternity?

This environment really reminds me of the headquarters of assassins in a certain game I've played.
In addition, there are security personnel everywhere, this
Does this really align with the low-key principle I told her about?

This kind of "pretending to be low-key" and "pretending to be mysterious" behavior is probably most conspicuous in the eyes of officials and so-called "error correctors," isn't it?
Lin Xu was full of questions, while Jiang Xingye remained silent.

The group bypassed the building where the conference room was located and entered the living area in the back part of the resort.

After swiping his iris to open a room, Jiang Xingye closed the door after everyone had gone inside.

Then, she let out a heavy breath and said:
"This is a fully shielded room. The walls are filled with metal, and the thermal noise system, electromagnetic noise system, and radiation noise system work 24 hours a day. It is impossible to take information out of this room by electromagnetic means or quantum listening methods."

cautious.

Lin Xu looked at Jiang Xingye approvingly, while the latter's eyes suddenly turned somewhat resentful.

"Lin Xu".

"Zeroth".

"This room has been prepared for you for nine years."

"I waited for you for nine years. I thought I would have to wait for you for sixteen years."

Lin Xu's heart suddenly clenched.

He realized that Jiang Xingye had indeed been right.

The last time I entered the bracelet world, I told her, "I'll be back soon," but as she replied, "soon" only meant "soon" to myself.

For Jiang Xingye, who is in linear time...
She waited a full nine years.

It's another Waiting-for-Husband Rock.

Why is she always the one waiting for her husband in every world?
Beside him, Bai Mo and the others exchanged glances, each filled with doubt and shock.

But Lin Xu ignored them for the moment, and instead looked at Jiang Xingye, asking in his habitually rapid voice:
"So you're sure you still remember me? Do you remember when you met me?"

"of course."

Jiang Xingye nodded slowly.

"I'll probably remember that night for the rest of my life."

"But that's not important. What's important is that we can now be sure that you've entered the same world."

"Wait, I need to introduce myself to you first."

"this is"

"No introduction necessary."

Lin Xu turned to look at Bai Mo and the other two.

"Bai Mo, Qi Yuan, Su Yuchen."

"You were able to find them, which must have been due to the influence of higher-dimensional information, right?"

"You should know that they are the helpers I chose for you?"

"So, what exactly have you done in this world?"

"We need to be quick, we only have one hour."

"The next time we go in, it probably won't be this time!"

"clear."

Jiang Xingye walked to the table and pulled up the data. The holographic projection instantly appeared in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, two different documents flashed by. One was for Bai Mo and the others, while the other was prepared specifically for Lin Xu.

He scanned the document quickly, just like the information Jiang Xingye had conveyed to him in the first "era of confusion." This document was organized in the exact same way.

Summary, details, and key clues.

Lin Xu finished reading all the information in the summary section in less than 3 minutes.

At this point, he discovered that, just as he had thought, Jiang Xingye had not been harassed or attacked by the correctors after "hiding her identity" and eliminating the effects of the pollen. But of course, she hadn't done nothing.

Based on Sky Dome Technology, she spent six years building a commercial complex that, while not particularly large, was perfectly adequate.

She arranged security measures and located the owners of the names she received from the high-dimensional channel.

She is constantly monitoring the progress of official technological development and the preparations the government is making to "fight the apocalypse".

According to the information she gathered, the dimensional ascension plan had been officially announced a year ago.

The world has officially entered the "correction" track and is racing towards its final outcome.

Lin Xu wanted to continue looking for more key clues, but at that moment, Qi Yuan suddenly spoke up.

"Fuck."

"So you mean the end of the world is real?!"

"Didn't you tell them?"

Lin Xu turned to look at Jiang Xingye.

The latter shook his head and replied:

"Before today, they knew nothing about you, about butterflies, pollen, or the end of the world."

"So how did you convince them to cooperate with you?"

Lin Xu was utterly astonished. He couldn't imagine how Jiang Xingye could bring these three people together and recruit them into his camp without relying on any information gaps.

However, she has a full seven years, so it seems like it's possible to manage that?

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Bai Mo said:
"She has her ways—but that doesn't matter."

"I did not participate in the countercurrent plan, nor did I participate in the butterfly contingency plan."

"These two plans seem to no longer exist?"

"Of course it doesn't exist."

Lin Xu replied in a deep voice:
"Without the information brought by butterflies and pollen, the butterfly contingency plan disappeared first, followed by the so-called threat of divine authority, and the reverse flow plan was of course unnecessary."

"clear."

Bai Mo nodded thoughtfully, and the group finally sat down in the room. Lin Xu glanced at Su Yuchen's somewhat "unfamiliar" face and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"Have you two had a baby?"

He suddenly asked.

"what?"

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much."

Su Yuchen and Qi Yuan both had strange expressions on their faces, but they didn't ask any further questions.

Little did they know how many times Lin Xu had witnessed their public displays of affection in the previous world!
Logically speaking, shouldn't such a pure and loving couple start having children as soon as they get together?
Lin Xu chuckled inwardly, but when he saw the time on the holographic projection, he immediately realized what was going on.

I rely on!

Now is not the time to think about these things!

There are 47 minutes left, and I have a lot to do in those 47 minutes.

Just then, Jiang Xingye also spoke.

So what's our next plan?

"Three plans."

Lin Xu straightened his expression and began to speak:
"First, we need to verify whether the world could survive the apocalypse under the 'normal development trajectory'."

"If this world can survive the apocalypse, then it proves that their choice was right, and I won't need to spend any more time. I can just focus on this world and directly transfer my successful experience there."

"Second, I need to find the source of the random interference—the current random travel has too much of an impact on me and is too inefficient."

"Third, I need to find an organization of error correctors."

"While I'm not sure what their impact on the world is, they are important in this world."

"Finding them can solve many problems."

"clear."

Jiang Xingye operated the computer and quickly switched to a blank page.

"We have 45 minutes left."

Let's divide the work and cooperate.

"Now that we've confirmed it's the same world, we have a lot more room for trial and error."

"We don't need to worry about the potential consequences of our actions because no matter what mistakes we make, we can correct them in a very simple way."

"Go jump off a building, and all your problems will be solved."

That's right.

But something just doesn't sound right?

do not care!
Lin Xu asked:
So where do we begin?

Jiang Xingye hesitated for a moment before replying:
"Bai Mo, go contact the authorities. You have close technical cooperation with them, so try to gain their trust and get the latest intelligence."

"Let me outline a verification plan—I want to ensure that no matter where you travel to in the future, you can gain the trust of all of us immediately, and even the trust of the authorities."

"Qi Yuan, take Lin Xu to find clues about the corrector."

"A clue?"

Lin Xu's eyes lit up.

"I would say yes."

"Because someone released information related to the apocalypse."

"It's not a complete disclosure."

"It's a partial warning."

"Theoretically speaking, the information about 'doomsday' could not possibly have been given to anyone other than us."

"High-dimensional experiencers are also unlikely to have precise time information."

“If so, they must be related to so-called ‘error correctors’!”
