Did the world end today?

Chapter 79 Unable to be located
The rapidly ascending spaceship quickly passed through the blackout and entered near-Earth orbit in just 7 minutes.

But the spacecraft continued to ascend, attempting to enter geosynchronous orbit.

Communication between Lin Xu and the ground was restored, and Bai Mo's voice came through the spaceship's communicator.

"The ground station has received the orbital insertion signal. Is your flight proceeding normally?"

"normal!"

Lin Xu unbuckled his seatbelt, and his body floated up in weightlessness.

In his memory, he had never had such a novel experience, yet his movements were incredibly skillful.

Perhaps some kind of muscle memory has resurfaced?

The skull next to him watched his actions curiously and also tried to unbuckle its seatbelt.

But the next second, he panicked and turned around, trying to pull himself back to the ground.

"Take off your anti-G suit first!"

Lin Xu turned around and shouted:

"There's a button on your left shoulder, press it to release the pressure!"

".clear."

Following Lin Xu's instructions, the skull operated, and after the pressure was released, the flexible anti-G suit automatically detached.

He looked around, slightly bewildered, and asked:
"What's next? What do we need to do next?"

You ask me who I ask?

Even Lin Xu himself didn't know what his next plan was!
All he knew was that he had to steal the rocket, and he had a vague idea in his mind to "escape," but based on the information he had gathered before, simply "escaping" would be meaningless!
No matter how fast your rocket is, can it really fly out of the solar system within an hour?
What, is the Sky Journey a light-speed spaceship equipped with a warp drive?

Or is this thing a warp spaceship that can use a higher-dimensional wormhole for jumps?
-
and many more.

Wormhole?

Is it possible that I flew into space just to find that higher-dimensional passage?

Is it possible to escape the apocalyptic catastrophe through a so-called higher-dimensional passage?
Probably!

Lin Xu was startled.

Jiang Xingye told me to run!
I only had 15 seconds at that time, where could I run to?
Even if you enter the underground fortifications, you cannot escape the irresistible flash of light when the apocalypse arrives.

But she kept telling me to run.

That means she must know that I can escape.

There were no hiding places around him.

The only explanation is...
The cover she considered was not within this dimension!
High-dimensional channel.

Lin Xu suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.

He grabbed the communicator and asked Bai Mo in a very fast voice:
"Could you retrieve the gravitational fluctuation data from outer space?"

"You should have already conducted relevant gravitational monitoring before, right?"

Have you detected any gravitational anomalies?

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo quickly replied:

"I will contact the Tianqin project team immediately and expect to get feedback in two minutes."

Lin Xu looked out at the deep sky through the porthole and frowned, saying:
"Don't just look at the Lyra system; contact Virgo and LIGO. What I need is globally synchronized data! I need data with zero errors!"

"Understood, two minutes."

As Bai Mo finished speaking, Lin Xu let out a heavy sigh.

Once you're in space, there's very little you can do anymore.

The Sky Voyager is a long-haul tourist spacecraft with very complete living facilities, but it has no equipment that can be used for scientific research and observation.

The only good news is that the life support system on this fully refurbished spaceship can sustain Lin Xu and Skull for at least two years.

So, is he planning to use this long-range sightseeing spaceship to escape the apocalypse through a high-dimensional portal and then usher in the Starship era?

There must be at least one woman in that group, right?
If the goal is to ensure the continuation of civilization, then the Skull Squad should definitely include two female characters.

This is not some old pervert's dying fantasy; it is the most rational, even the most indifferent, scientific consideration.

Lin Xu looked the skull up and down, and the skull couldn't help but shiver.

"I have a wife!"

The skull looked at Lin Xu warily, and Lin Xu rolled his eyes.

I know you have a wife!

"But your wife is beyond saving."

"The end of the world is coming soon, and we only have 36 minutes left."

"Are you kidding??"

The skull stared in disbelief. "Are you serious?! So you wanted to steal the rocket to escape the apocalypse?"

"That's possible."

Lin Xu nodded slightly.

"I told you, I have amnesia."

"I only remember wanting to steal the rocket, but I don't know why."

"Perhaps it's to escape the apocalypse, or perhaps it's to find something."

"but now"

"let me out!"

The skull suddenly became somewhat out of control.

He interrupted Lin Xu, and then continued shouting:

"I must get back to the ground! Even if it's the end of the world, I must go back!"

"I can't leave my wife alone! She'll go crazy if she can't find me!"

"Hurry! The return capsule. This spaceship should have a return capsule, right?"

"You can stay, I'll leave on my own!"

Lin Xu stared in astonishment at the skull.

He really hadn't expected that this person's obsession with love had reached such a severe level.

No, this level can no longer be called being love-struck.

He's a true romantic.

Or, from another perspective, he was a true warrior with a strong sense of mission and responsibility.

However, this sense of mission was entrusted to his wife.
Lin Xu didn't intend to pay much attention to the skull. While quickly reading and memorizing the technical documents about the ultra-long-range manned spacecraft sent by Bai Mo through the holographic image on his bracelet, he casually asked:
"What kind of spell did your wife cast on you?"

"Don't you know how many things she's done to wrong you?"

Upon hearing this, the skull was instantly speechless.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a few low moans escaped his throat.

"She had no choice."

"She was being controlled by something; she didn't know who she was, or even whether she was still alive."

"I am her only hope. I promised her I would cure her."

Lin Xu raised his head.

This is the truth.

The skull-headed wife's condition is what is known as a "side effect of higher-dimensional influence."

She has lost her humanity as a "person," and the skull is her only anchor.

That's quite remarkable.

Lin Xu's gaze towards the skull changed slightly. He floated to the skull's side, pressed his shoulder down, and slammed him onto the spaceship's ground. Then he spoke:
"It's okay. If we can find a way to stop the apocalypse, I will definitely find a way to cure her."

"But the condition is that you have to cooperate with me."

“You need to tell me everything about your experience. I need to know what makes you special, and I need to know why you are here.”

"Didn't you tell me to come up here?"

The skull's tone was somewhat anxious.

"I really don't have time to waste with you, I have to go back."

"There are only thirty minutes left, you can't save us!"

"At worst, I'll die alongside her!"

"Do not."

Lin Xu raised his hand.

"I can save you, but not this time."

"Believe me, I have many more chances."

"why?"

The skull kept asking questions, and just as Lin Xu was about to answer, Bai Mo's voice suddenly came through the communicator.

"The Lyra system has confirmed the detection of abnormal gravitational fluctuations!"

Lin Xu's eyes lit up, but then he heard Bai Mo continue:
"However, we are unable to pinpoint the exact location of the anomaly!"
