Did the world end today?

Chapter 276 The Public Apocalypse

Chapter 276 The Public Apocalypse
"The pursuit of quick victory is surrenderism; we do not believe in quick victory."

"During our War of Resistance Against Japan, many teams and soldiers sacrificed their lives outside the main battlefield."

"Now it seems that our world is not the main battlefield. Does it only have value if it becomes the main battlefield?"

"Some comrades said, if there is a world where we can survive, why can't that world be our world?"

"Then I'll say it: since countless worlds must be sacrificed, why can't we be one of them?"

"We need to distinguish between what is more important and what is less important."

"Of course, we will certainly have more and bigger disagreements."

"But we must manage our differences and provide as much help as possible to the butterfly."

"The problems of those who correct errors must be addressed, and addressed as soon as possible."

"This is a death order."

"In this way, the troops will move out first, prioritizing the safety of the butterflies."

Jiang Xingye had already hung up the phone, but Lin Xu could still hear the man's voice echoing in his ears.

He already knew who it was.

But he really didn't expect that person to make a decision in such a short time.

The idea that quick victory is surrenderism is the most essential part of the entire argument.

In reality, what Zhang Liming was doing was nothing more than a get-rich-quick scheme.
He didn't want to sacrifice or lose any territory; he wanted to achieve final victory in the fastest and most forceful way.

But history has repeatedly crushed the bones of all daydreamers with its unstoppable wheels, and countless times it has shown those who come after it, through the bloody tracks left by its wheels, that in the face of anything, "quick victory" is nothing more than a seemingly beautiful fantasy.
Why doesn't he know?

Or rather, why doesn't he admit it?

Lin Xu vaguely sensed that this might also be related to his life experiences.

The cultural fusion of the alliance era, coupled with his long-term experience working overseas, inevitably led him to habitually consider issues from an "elitist" perspective.

His fundamental nature, of course, has not changed.

But when elitist habits begin to erode this underlying foundation, the ultimate result is what we see today.
There are only 10 minutes left.

At that moment, police sirens began to sound outside the door.

A flurry of footsteps echoed upstairs. Lin Xu opened the door, and at the same time, Qin Feng's serious and cold face appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Comrade Lin Xu."

Qin Feng stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Xu briefly.

Then, his gaze shifted to Lin Xu's back and to Yu Changwen, who was still lying on the ground.

"Is this Yu Changwen?"

"Yes."

Lin Xu gave a brief answer, and then said:

“I have conducted a brief interrogation of him, and the information he revealed suggests that Zhang Liming is likely hiding near a stable high-dimensional channel.”

"Furthermore, he had informants planted in advance within the organization."

"It is highly likely that he has already escaped using a higher-dimensional channel at this point in time."

"clear."

Qin Feng nodded.

"But it's not that important."

“We will use more direct methods to combat their influence.”

"Of course, we will also try to catch him and other people associated with the error corrector."

"You can rest assured about this."

"Next, I need to provide you with special protection."

"Can you predict when you will next enter this world?"

"2029."

Lin Xu answered without hesitation:

"Although the exact mechanism for selecting the time point is still unclear, it is highly likely that the next time I enter this world will be in 2029."

"The premise is that Lin Xu does not die after 2027 after I leave."

"clear."

Qin Feng nodded again.

"We will protect you."

"How much time do you have?"

Lin Xu raised his hand to glance at his phone and replied:
"5 minutes."

"I have already entered the key information. All you need to do is follow the pre-set route."

"I will verify this by 2029."

"If the trend is right, we can continue to move forward; if the trend is wrong, I can use suicide to start over."

"For you, the world will not change."

"Because...you won't remember."

"Do not."

Qin Feng shook his head. "We will remember. You are our memory."

We chose you, but there's one thing.

“You must do it for us.”

"You must remember for us those worlds that have been sacrificed."

"They should not be submerged in a chaotic, untraceable time."

"They should be remembered."

"I know."

Lin Xu let out a heavy sigh.

Only three minutes remain.

Lin Xu had made preparations to start afresh immediately after leaving this world.

But at that moment, Yu Changwen, who had already been subdued by the security personnel, started shouting at the top of his lungs.

You will never! You will never succeed!

"You're too idealistic. Do you think everyone thinks like you?"

"The world is not that simple; the choices we made were the most humane!"

Do you think human nature is insignificant?

"us."

"Human nature is indeed not insignificant."

Qin Feng raised his hand to interrupt Yu Changwen.

"But you don't need to worry about that."

“Our people are not that fragile.”

"We will always find a way to make them face the fate they have no choice but to face."

"Take him away!"

Yu Changwen was dragged downstairs.

But Lin Xu was lost in thought.

indeed.

The question of human nature.
It's never a simple problem.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xu looked at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Technically, he can solve many problems.

But he was powerless to solve such “sociological” problems.

Qin Feng shook his head slightly, without answering immediately.

After a few seconds of pause, he finally spoke:
"Some things, the more you hide them from the public, the more likely they are to lead to uncontrollable consequences."

"Especially given that we may be influenced by those who correct our mistakes and have our development direction distorted by potential influences."

"so."

"The higher-ups are already considering whether or not to release the doomsday information to the public."

"Or rather, in what way should it be made public?"

"Perhaps this question should be left to you?"

Do you think we should reveal the truth about the apocalypse to the public?

Lin Xu's brows furrowed instantly.

"Reveal the truth about the apocalypse?"

That's right.

This may be
This is the most effective and direct way.

Thinking of this, he answered:

"Go ahead and make it public, as you see fit."
