Did the world end today?

Chapter 435 Ayana

After arranging Jiang Xingye's work, Lin Xu's mission in this world was basically over.

Just like Jiang Xingye in this world said, he never intended to stay here for long.

The world of Destiny Stone is the hope of all worlds, so naturally, this crucial butterfly of his must remain there.

Only when he is within the world can he promptly perceive changes in it.

Only by detecting problems in time can we correct them in time.

This is a simple logic that everyone can understand, and no one has raised any objections to his arrangement.

The only problem is that Jiang Xingye doesn't quite understand his theory about "communication costs".

"Why didn't you leave three days later and then return through the same high-dimensional passage you came from?"

"What I mean is that in higher-dimensional space, higher-dimensional channels should be without temporal order."

"All higher-dimensional channels, whether in the present, past, or future, should be laid out in parallel within higher-dimensional space, right?"

“That’s right”

"Knock knock--"

Just as Lin Xu was about to answer, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Immediately afterwards, the secretary's face appeared in the doorway.

"Sir, we have urgent intelligence."

"Ayana has been found."

"found it?"

Lin Xu stood up in surprise and then asked:
"where?"

The secretary frowned slightly, then replied:
"In the United States."

"The person has been found, but their condition is a bit off."

"Furthermore, we haven't been able to bring her out yet because it involves some rather sensitive issues."

Sensitive issue?

No, what time is it?

With the end of the world looming ahead, what could be more sensitive than this?

"Let's go, talk as we go."

Lin Xu subconsciously pulled Jiang Xingye aside, but immediately let go as if he had been electrocuted.

He realized that the Jiang Xingye in this world was not the Jiang Xingye he had already married.

Although they look exactly alike, they are not the same person in terms of personality.

He was slightly embarrassed, but Jiang Xingye didn't seem to mind.

She asked, with only slight surprise:
"Should I go too?"

"You should go too."

Lin Xu replied briefly:

"I don't have that much time to explain the details to you one by one. Learn through practice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped towards the door.

The secretary led the way, and the three of them walked towards the operations command center.

Throughout the journey, the secretary continuously provided Lin Xu with the latest information about Ayana.

"We found her on a farm in Tennessee, USA."

"It can now be confirmed that she has close ties with the local planetary reincarnation organization."

"Furthermore, this organization has already amassed a considerable armed force in the United States."

"They received support from local free militia groups and purchased a large number of properties."

"This is the first problem - the land they are on is private land, and the US cannot directly enter the area to arrest people without special reasons."

"Of course, this problem is easy to avoid."

"In fact, the FBI has already issued an arrest warrant and is preparing to carry out the arrest operation on the grounds of endangering national security."

"But during the arrest, they encountered a second problem."

"The governor of Tennessee personally led the local state guard to obstruct the FBI's operation. After confirming that they could not enter, the FBI notified the National Guard and directly mobilized the 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell in an attempt to put pressure on the state militia guard."

"But the other side is not backing down, and now the two sides are locked in a stalemate."

abstract.

Lin Xu simply couldn't find a second word to describe the current situation.

It is astonishing that a country, when exercising jurisdiction within its own sovereign territory, is subjected to armed intervention by a local government.

To be honest, if it were in a different place...
This is not a situation where reasoning is necessary.

This is treason!
The problem is that the American rednecks actually fall for it.

If we really take a hard line, it will likely cause large-scale unrest.

So if we want to solve this, we really have to start from the source.

What are their reasons for obstructing law enforcement?

"Benefit."

The secretary replied:
"An investigation revealed that the Planetary Reincarnation Organization had exchanges of interests with the Tennessee state government and several large local corporations."

“The Planetary Reincarnation Organization provides information and technology, while local governments provide shelter.”

"They are planning to push governors to run for the next president and are trying to reorganize NATO, transforming it into..."

"Western Alliance".

"Correct."

Lin Xu let out a heavy sigh.

Good grief, even though Zhou Yue is gone, you're still playing the same cards he dealt!

Power is exchanged for information, and ultimately divine authority is created.

Fortunately, this is only the first step. If you really manage to build up the Western Alliance, what would happen?

Is it possible that the US will take direct and forceful action?

"Not too possible."

The secretary shook her head and replied:
"They are unwilling to escalate the conflict, and the air assault division has already withdrawn from the warning zone."

"Further action plans are still under discussion by the US side."

"understood."

Lin Xu nodded slightly.

At this point, the three had already entered the combat command post.

On the large screen, the live footage from the US reconnaissance aircraft was segmented into several parts, with impressive clarity.

"Send information permissions to Zhiyun."

Lin Xu gave the order decisively, and almost simultaneously, Zhiyun's intervention request was sent to the command center.

A few seconds later, the entire screen refreshed.

All key targets, the overall event area, the positions of both sides in the standoff, and information on personnel from different groups were all marked on the image.

A gasp of surprise rang out in the operations command room, but Lin Xu ignored it and continued speaking:

"Attempt to infiltrate the target area and obtain local CCTV surveillance footage."

"Find and locate the target."

In an instant, a massive data stream was transmitted back via radio waves.

Immediately afterwards, Zhiyun's voice rang out.

"The target person could not be directly identified."

"But based on the on-site surveillance footage, the target is very likely hidden behind this isolation door."

The screen refreshed, and Lin Xu looked up to see the heavy isolation door in the image.

"Is this...the tunnel entrance?"

"Vertical shaft".

Zhiyun replied:
"This is a highly protected underground structure, 60 meters deep, capable of completely isolating electromagnetic signals."

"The gravitational wave detection revealed an active object inside, which should be the target."

"She has been imprisoned in this deep well for quite some time."

captivity?

Something is wrong.

Lin Xu recalled that in his previous conversations with Zhou Yue, he had not used similar "imprisonment" methods on Ayana.

In fact, he was already able to gain the trust of Ayana, who was still naive at the time, simply by using the so-called "miracle brainwashing".

But now, things have changed.

Why is that?
Is there a chance to directly 'extract' the target from inside through the gravity channel?

Zhiyun's reply was a minute slow.

“It’s impossible.” “But it’s possible if it’s allowed to damage the surrounding environment.”

"Then do it."

Lin Xu gave the order without hesitation, then turned to his secretary and said:
"Notify the US to withdraw from the target area as soon as possible, and we will directly provide personnel ourselves."

"I understand—how exactly should I express it?"

The secretary's tone was somewhat hesitant.

He did not fully understand the technical capabilities of this support fleet.

In his view, this was an almost omnipotent fleet, with unfathomable technology.

Finding someone is certainly not difficult, but can the process really be that easy?
His question left Lin Xu somewhat bewildered.

How should it be expressed?

I feel like I've been spoiled by the "no need to explain to anyone" attitude of the world of Steins;Gate.

In today's world, there does seem to be a certain diplomatic inertia between countries.

People here subconsciously consider the reactions of other forces.

Even with the support fleet as their backing, they dared not act rashly.

Because they were really unsure whether the fleet was biased or completely impartial.
-
But Lin Xu knew that the fleet was definitely biased.

It is not about favoring any particular civilization or country.

Instead, it leans towards the correct and efficient side.

Thinking of this, he answered:

"There's no need to explain to them."

"Just let them go."

"clear."

The secretary nodded decisively and then relayed the order.

Meanwhile, on the geosynchronous orbit, the flagship Kunlunshan began to slowly change direction.

Its massive gravity generator was also focused on the direction of Tennessee.
Right now, in Tennessee.

The governor rode his horse and repeatedly inspected the lined-up militia, much like a general inspecting his troops in the era of line infantry.

Every few steps he took, he would let out a few cowboy-like shouts and say a few inspiring words.

Brave, fearless, and unafraid of power.

This is the image he wants to project to himself.

Of course, he knew better than anyone that the reason he did all this was essentially for profit.

The world is about to change dramatically.

The "Planetary Reincarnation" organization that he once relied on had no advantage against that fleet that hung high in the sky like the Sword of Damocles.

No, it's not just about having no advantages.

It is even worthless and vulnerable.

This organization is bound to be abandoned, but its own "priority" cannot be abandoned.

You must use this last card to exchange for a new card.

Do they want that woman?

Then I can't hand over that woman.

A very simple game.

He jumped off his horse, and the leader of the Free Militia rushed over and took the reins for him.

"This is the last time today."

The team leader began by saying:
"You can rest after dinner."

"The guys are fired up, they're going to fight the Federation to the bitter end."

"Keep your voice down."

The governor frowned and reprimanded in a low voice:
"Our goal is not to fight the Federation to the bitter end, our goal is..."

"I understand, I understand."

The team leader immediately replied:
"But externally, we have to appear tough enough, don't we?"

“I have brought in a new team that belongs to a European PMC company.”

"They have no vested interests with anyone here, and if a conflict breaks out, they will be the only team that will actually fight."

"Of course, they will also bear all the subsequent blame."

"That's good."

The governor breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then he continued to ask:
"So, what are these people's abilities like?"

"If the Federation really launches a full-scale attack, can they stop it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the team leader's expression became quite varied.

Launch a full-scale attack?

Block?

Is this human talk?
If the Federation really launches a strong attack, their only reliance will be those kidnapped rednecks.

Their lives are the stakes, their bodies are the shield.

If the federal government doesn't care about these people's lives, the ensuing public outcry, or even the domestic political situation, then who can stop them?
Isn't that a joke?
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back down.

Seeing his troubled expression, the governor suddenly laughed.

"It's just a joke."

“I know no one can stop them—but actually we don’t need to stop them.”

"They can't possibly make a move. The 101st Division has already withdrawn, which means they've backed down."

"It won't be long before all the other National Guard troops maintaining order also withdraw."

"They are unwilling to escalate the conflict. Based on my judgment, they will most likely attempt a decapitation strike."

"What we need to be wary of are just those insidious scumbags like DEVGRU."

"So, are you confident you can hold them off?"

"That's still possible."

The team leader nodded immediately.

"DEVGRU is not as strong as many people think. We have the advantage in numbers, intelligence, and even heavy weapons."

"They cannot defeat us in a limited battle, much less snatch people from us."

"after all."

"boom--"

Before he could finish speaking, a deep rumble suddenly sounded.

The ground suddenly began to shake, and he fell to the ground in a daze.

The same was true of the governor standing next to him.

The warhorses let out frantic, terrified cries, broke free of their restraints, and galloped away into the distance.

However, the ground suddenly collapsed in the direction it was traveling.

"Hiss--"

Half of the warhorse's body was buried in the collapsed mud. The leader scrambled to his feet, but fell down again.

这 是
earthquake? ?
No, it doesn't look like an earthquake!
My body seemed to be out of my control—not just dizziness caused by the shaking of the ground.

But
I'm floating!

Fear surged through him like a tide, and the blinding sunlight brought tears to his eyes.

The next second, in the sunlight, he saw a scene that made him tremble all over.

The ruins crumbled, and mud flew and fell.

Amidst the swirling dust, countless rays of light pierced through.

Beneath those beams of light, a figure was slowly rising.

That woman!

An hour later, Lin Xu met Ayana, who had been brought back by the landing craft.

She was covered in dust, and Lin Xu stepped forward, instinctively wanting to wipe it off for her.
-
For Ayana, whose primary personality is Aishwarya, this action is not inappropriate.

But then he suddenly realized that this was another world.

The person in front of me is simply Ayana.

He immediately withdrew his hand.

But Ayana across from him looked a little confused.

She looked directly into Lin Xu's eyes and asked:
"elder brother?"

"what happened to you?"
