Chapter 214 A Treacherous Scheme

Chapter 214 A Treacherous Scheme (Third Update)

what?
Me?
Lin Xu didn't have time to think and rushed towards the dormitory entrance.

In reality, although it is called a "dormitory building", it is just a three-story "villa-style" building.

Gunfire flashed everywhere from the window, and bullets rained down around Lin Xu, many hitting him directly.

At this moment, Lin Xu finally understood what Qi Yuan meant by "their equipment is not as good as ours".

The exoskeleton and the torso armor attached to it did indeed save his life.

Without the exoskeleton, I would have died eight hundred times over with just this round of firepower!
Even so, the unprotected areas of his body were still damaged by ricocheting bullets.

My left upper arm was grazed, my neck was bleeding, and my lower leg seemed to have been pierced by a stray bullet. However, with the power of the exoskeleton, apart from the excruciating pain, I haven't felt any difficulty in moving yet.

We must go in first.

Only after entering the villa can I unleash the full potential of this equipment!
At this moment, Qi Yuan's firepower suppression had already begun.

The 201 machine gun fired continuously, bullets tracing curves across the wall like long snakes, and splashing cement like ripples in a pond stirred up by raindrops.

"Be careful!"

Lin Xu shouted:
"Don't kill Yu Changwen!"

"Don't worry! He definitely won't die!"

Qi Yuan's tone revealed a hint of excitement, but Lin Xu ignored him, kicked open the villa's front door, and then threw a stun grenade and an offensive grenade.

"Buzz!"

"boom!"

Two loud bangs followed, and Lin Xu rushed in, stepping on the aftershocks of the explosions.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The intelligent fire control system had already marked the locations of all enemies. He calmly eliminated the four enemies in the hall and then quickly searched upwards.

"Yu Changwen should be on the third floor!"

"That's where the firepower is most concentrated!"

"understand!"

Lin Xu moved forward steadily.

Blood was gushing from his calf, but he had no time to care.

Actually, you don't need to worry about it.

There are only 25 minutes left. How much longer can I live in this world?

You won't die from bleeding!

Lin Xu, holding a gun in his hand, walked up to the second floor with slightly unsteady steps.

He used stun grenades and defensive grenades to clear a path, then slipped into the corridor to assess the situation. Just then, a burst of bullets suddenly came hurtling towards him!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Lin Xu was so overwhelmed by the pressure that his head was spinning.

Then he suddenly realized that the bullets did not come from inside the building, but from Qi Yuan!

"I rely on!"

"Friendly forces! Ceasefire!"

"Qi Yuan! You can come in now!"

"Prepare to advance!"

"understand!"

With the gunfire from the periphery ceasing, Lin Xu seized the opportunity to advance rapidly.

There were four rooms in the corridor, but Lin Xu did not stop at any of them.

He simply walked quickly through, then kicked open each door and threw in a stun grenade.

Next came the search and cleanup.

By the time he finished cleaning the entire second floor, Qi Yuan had already arrived.

"Brother Lin! Leg!"

"Stop faking your legs, it's too late!"

Lin Xu continued forward without caring, but Qi Yuan grabbed him and said:

"No, my leg is broken!"

Lin Xu looked down and realized that his left calf had been completely broken, with only broken bones barely holding it up.

I go
Are there pedicure places everywhere?
Why don't I feel any pain?!

The exoskeleton had automatically distributed assistance, just like an airplane's flight control system, maintaining the body's balance, so Lin Xu only felt a minor inconvenience.

Then
They can still fight.

"30 seconds!"

The countdown timer shows the arrival time of the rapid reaction force.

"Come on!"

Lin Xu shouted the order, and at that moment, after the firepower stopped, the security personnel upstairs immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

There was no chance to catch our breath!
The 201 machine gun in Qi Yuan's hand fired again, and in just a moment, his forearm was also shot.

The bullet struck his elbow joint, nearly tearing his entire left forearm off.

However, despite the direct pressure, the upward channel has also been opened.

"Brother Lin, let's go!"

Lin Xu ducked around Qi Yuan's firing range, threw two grenades, and quickly pressed forward after the explosions.

This is the last leg of the journey.

The villa doesn't have a rooftop terrace, so Yu Changwen can only stay on the third floor!
Shoot, clear, enter.

Countdown to 5 seconds.

When Lin Xu kicked open the door of the last room, braving the bullets to break in and clear it out, Yu Changwen's highly recognizable face finally appeared before him, according to the intelligence report.

His eyes were triangular, his expression resolute, and the veins on his neck were bulging.

He doesn't seem like a scholar.

It looks like a
warrior.

He held the grenade's handle in his hand, the pin already pulled.

"do not come!"

Yu Changwen huddled close to the corner of the wall, using the body of a security guard to cover his torso.

"You're looking for me, right?"

"Do you want the body?!"

Damn it.

tough enough.

Lin Xu hesitated for a moment.

Such threats were actually effective on him.

What he wanted was a living Yu Changwen, not a dead corpse that couldn't speak!

"calm!"

Lin Xu began to speak:
"I had no choice but to resort to this method; I just wanted to see you!"

"You killed so many people just to see me??"

A sinister smile appeared on Yu Changwen's face.

"You really are fearless, just like me!"

"Unfortunately, you're mistaken."

"Too many people want to contact me, you're not on my invitation list!"

Invitation list?
what the hell!

Lin Xu shifted slightly, revealing half of Qi Yuan's body behind him.

Subsequently.

"boom!"

With a soft thud, a pistol bullet struck Changwen's right hand precisely. Immediately afterward, Lin Xu leaped up.

He caught the falling grenade and threw it backward without hesitation.

Qi Yuan dodged the attack and then fell to the ground. "Boom!"

The defensive grenade fired hundreds of steel balls that swept across the area, but most of them were blocked by the wall.

Lin Xu pressed down on Yu Changwen and said:
"Now we can talk."

"Tell me, what exactly is an error corrector?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Changwen suddenly paused in surprise.

"An error corrector!?"

"Are you looking for a problem corrector?"

"You are a butterfly?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu stood there stunned.

How did you know?

Only butterflies actively seek out those who correct their mistakes!

Yu Changwen's expression suddenly turned anxious.

Why didn't you say so sooner?! Why didn't you say so sooner?!

Why the hell didn't I say that sooner?!

This is my first time in this world at this point in time. How could I possibly know that you error correctors give butterflies such extraordinary treatment?

"I do not know."

Lin Xu asked:
"What exactly is an error corrector?"

"They are the error correctors!"

Yu Changwen let out a long breath and struggled to sit up again.

"Error correctors are an organization that corrects errors. Many of us are higher-dimensional experiencers who receive different information from higher-dimensional channels."

"The error corrector will organize this information and try to find a suitable and correct path."

"This process is error correction!"

"We're not as mysterious as we seem, nor are we as scary as we're made of!"

"We are doing this for humanity! We are doing this to survive the apocalypse!"

"clear."

Lin Xu frowned deeply.

This seems to be some kind of
A misunderstanding?!
Did I misunderstand the intentions of those who were correcting me, or did they misunderstand the significance of pollen?

Why did you kill Jiang Xingye?

"Jiang Xingye?"

Yu Changwen shook his head blankly.

"I don't even know who Jiang Xingye is!"

"Perhaps we lack the necessary authority. At least I never knew that anyone in our organization wanted to kill 'Jiang Xingye'!"

It’s over.

What a blunder!

If Yu Changwen wasn't lying, then it's very likely.
They did not harbor any inherent malice towards Jiang Xingye, this "flower pollen".

They simply do not allow technological development to deviate from their direction.

This is entirely negotiable.
If Jiang Xingye had found them and communicated with them in advance, a win-win result could have been achieved!
Lin Xu subconsciously lowered the muzzle of his gun, and at that moment, Yu Changwen continued:
"Rather than saying we're looking for Jiang Xingye, we're looking for Butterfly!"

"We want to know if our approach is correct; we want to verify the results of our route!"

"But the butterfly has never appeared—or rather, even if it had, we wouldn't know unless it found us!"

"This is entirely a misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry; we are allies!"

Very reasonable.

Lin Xu could not find any loopholes in Yu Changwen's words.

He continued speaking.

"You have to tell me who you are! We need to know who you are!"

Will you come again? Do we still have a chance?

"Let me see your face! I need to remember your face!"

Yu Changwen spoke quickly and urgently, his face filled with anxiety.

Lin Xu subconsciously wanted to take off his helmet.

But in that very instant...

He suddenly realized something was wrong.

What is he anxious about?
Why is Yu Changwen in such a hurry?
His hand was already on the helmet; he was about to take it off.

Almost simultaneously, he saw Yu Changwen raise his hand.

In his hand was a pistol.

"careful!"

Qi Yuan, who was standing next to him, shouted.

"boom!"

Gunfire rang out.

Lin Xu turned his head slightly, and the bullet grazed his neck.

Before Lin Xu could even reach out to control Yu Changwen, the assassination attempt failed, and Yu Changwen had already turned his gun on himself.

"boom!"

The bullet entered through his chin and exited through his eye socket.

Blood splattered on Lin Xu's helmet, turning his vision crimson.

He finally came to his senses.

Everything Yu Changwen said was false.

All of this is just preparation.

The ferocious expression on his face when he raised the gun was the real him!
He wants to die!
The correctors must kill not only the pollen, but also the butterflies.

Are they simply trying to eliminate the influence of butterflies?
This doesn't seem to make sense.

On the ground, Yu Changwen's blood mingled with the dust.

Lin Xu heard his lips moving slightly.

"hh butterfly."

"They must die."

"y because."

You will be resurrected.

The next second, Yu Changwen's body stiffened, and he died completely.

The butterfly must die, because it will come back to life?
What is the logic?

But these were the last words he uttered after his consciousness became clouded.

This shouldn't be a lie.

Lin Xu glanced at the time.
