Did the world end today?

Chapter 44 Different paths lead to the same destination

The EVTOL aircraft was much easier to control than Lin Xu had expected. It only had a simple control stick and a throttle, making it even simpler to operate than the FPV aircraft he had flown before.

The flight control system of the entire aircraft is finely tuned, and the operation is incredibly smooth and fluid.

After taking off from Qixia Mountain, Lin Xu followed the other 6 aircraft and ascended all the way into a low-altitude flight area of ​​more than 1,200 meters.

After a short two-minute flight, the group successfully arrived at the edge of the no-fly zone in Zhongshan Scenic Area.

"Get ready to enter!"

The sound of a skull came through the headphones.

Lin Xu took a deep breath, followed the flying light in front of him, and plunged straight down.

Almost simultaneously, his communication channel was jammed, and he immediately received a no-fly zone warning.

"You have entered a no-fly zone. Please turn back immediately."

"You have entered a no-fly zone. Please turn back immediately."

The warning was repeated twice, but Lin Xu ignored it and continued to descend.

"Interference will begin in 15 seconds. Number 7, fly to the side to create the illusion of breaking away and returning to base!"

"understand!"

Upon receiving the command from the skull icon, Lin Xu immediately turned the lever to turn the car around.

From a ground-based perspective, he looked like a novice who had accidentally wandered into a no-fly zone and was quickly returning to base after receiving a warning.

As the altitude continued to decrease, the remaining six aircraft also began to dart around in the no-fly zone.

"Prepare for an emergency landing!"

The skull shouted:
"We're ready to break away!"

Electromagnetic shielding established! 10 seconds!

"understand!"

Lin Xu pulled hard on the control stick, and the spacecraft flew straight toward the deep space observation station.

Within 10 seconds, a brief electromagnetic congestion occurred in the entire Zhongshan area.

But it only lasts 10 seconds!
As troops stationed near the sanatorium launched countermeasures, the electronic warfare equipment carried by the skull was instantly burned through.

The targeted jamming against the aircraft continued to be effective, and Lin Xu's aircraft was taken over within seconds.

There was nothing he could do.

In this era, personal aircraft must be connected to the internet.

If the communication module is removed in advance, it won't even be able to fly, let alone get the propellers spinning!

As long as there is a network connection, it is impossible to eliminate interference.

unless--
Cover with stronger directional jamming.

For example, the technical team behind Skull and Giant.

They changed their strategy, no longer interfering with the entire area, but instead centrally scheduling all equipment to completely block the communication channels of a single aircraft with ultra-high power directional traffic.

Cloud-based takeover also requires communication channels.

If information from the cloud is not coming through, the permissions will have to be reassigned to the operator!
Lin Xu regained control of the spacecraft. At this point, he was less than 600 meters away from the observation point on the periphery of the deep space observation station.

in time!
The plane roared down and plunged, then suddenly pulled up just before touching down.

"boom!"

A loud crash was heard, and the hatch opened automatically.

Lin Xu struggled to climb out of the aircraft, and the moment he landed, he reached for his rifle.

But at the same time, a loud shout rang out.

"Put down your weapons!!"

Lin Xu looked up at the gate of the deep space observation station, where several fully armed security personnel were already standing.

Is it still too slow?
do not care!
There are still 43 minutes until the end of the world, and I have at least 17 minutes of trial and error opportunities!
Raise the gun, pull the trigger, and the bullet is fired.

"boom!"

When good and evil collide, evil always prevails.

Because evil always strikes first.

Lin Xu was the one who made the first move.

The bullet struck the nearest security guard in the chest, the force of which sent him staggering back several steps.

Lin Xu's hand, which was still pulling the trigger, had not stopped.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Bullets were fired one after another, and at this point, there was no need to worry about "infiltration".

Theoretically speaking, as long as all the enemies are eliminated, that counts as infiltration!
He had only four enemies in front of him.

Most of the other security personnel had been lured to the other side by the other aircraft piloted by the Skull group.

If Lin Xu can successfully break through the defenses of these four people, he will have a chance to enter the deep space observation station!
Bullets flew through the air, and Lin Xu also suffered a heavy blow to the chest.

The 8.6mm bullets used by the opponent were far more lethal than the 7.62mm rifle in Lin Xu's hand. Although the bulletproof vest stopped the bullets, the impact still almost made Lin Xu faint.

Depend on!
He rolled behind the steps, using them as cover, and raised his gun to fight back.

At this moment, the combination of electrochromic camouflage and thermal fusion night vision finally gave him a slight advantage.

Even though his skills were far inferior to those of the professional security personnel on the other side, he was still able to fire first every time he peeked out.

"boom!"

Another security guard fell, and Lin Xu quickly ran to change positions.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

A barrage of bullets was fired, and Lin Xu frantically changed bullets while simultaneously throwing stun grenades outside.

"Grenade!"

"hidden!"

The security personnel cried out in alarm. Lin Xu quickly reloaded his gun and stepped out of cover the instant the stun grenade exploded. The deafening noise of 185 decibels momentarily halted the two remaining security personnel. Taking advantage of the narrow window of time, Lin Xu rapidly closed the distance.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

The rifle fired continuously, and another security guard fell.

There's only one left.

When Lin Xu pointed his gun at the other person, the other person also pointed his gun at him.

There was no cover between the two.

This is a contest of pure speed and courage to the extreme.

But it's clear that no one is stronger than Lin Xu in terms of courage.

Because he can start over.

In the brief moment when the other side hesitated over whether to take cover or fire first, Lin Xu had already pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Bullets flew out.

At the same time, gunfire erupted from the opposite side.

"Bang bang bang-"

Lin Xu's rifle flew out of his hand instantly, but the other man's head had already exploded.

Become!

Lin Xu didn't bother to pick up the fallen gun; instead, he quickly ran towards the gate of the deep space observation station.

He felt his body swaying and his brain was spinning in waves.

He initially thought this was a normal reaction after strenuous exercise, but when he ran to the closed gate and tried to reach for the directional explosives behind him to break it open, he was shocked to find that his hands were gone.

It's not that I lost my hand.

My entire forearm is gone.

Fresh blood was gushing out rapidly.

Lin Xu felt no pain.

He used his right hand to take out the directional bomb he had prepared beforehand, planted it, and then staggered to the side of the door.

Just as he was about to press the detonation button, a bloodstained hand suddenly grabbed him.

"Put down your weapons."

Lin Xu desperately shook off his hand.

"I'm saving people!"

Immediately afterwards, the detonation button was pressed.

"boom!"

Amidst the smoke and fire, Lin Xu struggled to crawl forward.

He no longer had the strength to stand up.

As blood flowed rapidly, his life was also rapidly slipping away.

I don't know how much longer we can hold on.

But at least, it's not too late to go in and take a look.

Lin Xu crawled through the large hole that had been blown open, thinking he was entering a hall filled with terrified staff.

But when the lights came on, he was surprised to find that the deep space observation station was already operating intelligently.

There were no staff members present.

All that remained was a cold hall and a server host that was humming and running.

Where is what I'm looking for?
Damn it.

It's all machines, where am I supposed to get the password?!

Time passed second by second, and Lin Xu's vision gradually blurred.

He struggled to climb to the somewhat "retro" control panel screen, attempting one last desperate attempt.

What if?
What if I manage to enter the password correctly?
Although the probability is not much higher than the end of the world, the end of the world has already happened, so it is reasonable to enter the correct password, right?
He entered the interface and intuitively typed in a series of passwords.

He didn't even know if the password was the right length.

But the screen started flickering the moment the confirmation button was pressed.

???

Is that really true?!?
Lin Xu, who had suffered severe blood loss, regained some of his senses in an instant.

But he quickly realized that he hadn't entered the correct password.

Someone is attacking the deep space observatory!
Jiang Xingye!
Same way.

The two chose the same strategy.

However, the way they launch the attack is different!
Lin Xu's attack was a physical intrusion, while hers was a cyber intrusion!
At this moment, the permissions for the deep space observation station are being unlocked one by one.

Lin Xu glanced at the time.

32 minutes left.

He knew what Jiang Xingye was going to do next.

What she needs to do next is to use the high-powered laser communication equipment at the observation station to hack into the city's Internet of Things and send messages to herself.
-
But now, this step can be omitted.

Lin Xu took direct control of the main console and issued a broadcast.

He didn't ask any other questions.

Just one sentence.

"I am Lin Xu! Give me a contact person on Earth!"
