Did the world end today?

Chapter 98 Let's go all the way then.
Lin Xu opened his eyes and woke up in bed.

The intense dizziness almost made him unable to sit still; it felt like he had just had a hangover.

However, the excitement of obtaining new and crucial information somewhat mitigated this dizziness.

A great fire descends from the sky, and Mars shines on the other side.

For so long, I still couldn't understand the true meaning of that sentence.

But now, the core "doctrine" of this planetary reincarnation organization has finally been given a preliminary explanation.

It's not simply about "going to Mars".

If their goal was simply to go to Mars, they should have developed into a large-scale space colonization organization.

Such an organization may not pose much of a threat to society; in fact, it might even drive the development of the aerospace industry.

The real key point is that they are pursuing higher-dimensional space and the elusive concept of "transmission through higher-dimensional channels".

Given that high-dimensional channels can have almost irreversible psychological effects on people, such a strategy is destined to cause extremely strong instability and uncontrollability.

This is likely the fundamental reason why this organization has gradually become more extreme.

They started as an "academic research organization" composed of a group of scholars!
The terrifying impact of higher-dimensional space is evident.

Similarly, there is a very reasonable explanation for why Zhou Yue was able to become the core of the planetary reincarnation organization.

His ability to see "higher-level" information means that he is likely able to see the approximate location of higher-dimensional channels or related clues.

With his "resurrection" attribute combined with his information advantage, it would be difficult for him not to rise to the top in this organization.
If that's the case, the amount of information he truly possesses must be enormous.

Like Jiang Xingye, he knew of the existence of the butterfly, and even went further, knowing that the butterfly's arrival most likely foreshadowed the approaching end of the world.

We must catch him and find a way to extract more information from him!

The bracelet now only has one last use left, but Lin Xu feels he can give it one last shot.

the last time.

This time, as long as I catch him and get enough information, I can rest well and recover my energy in the next few days.

Anyway, the location has been found, and there's not much work left to do.
Let's just go for it from the start!

Thinking of this, Lin Xu decisively climbed out of bed.

He almost staggered to the refrigerator, pulled out a bottle of Red Bull, and chugged it down.

Feeling uneasy, he went to the cupboard and pulled out two packets of coffee, chewed them a few times, mixed them with cola, and swallowed them.

This is a quick way to boost energy that he summarized when he used to work overtime. With these three items, carbonic acid expands the absorption range of effective ingredients, taurine replenishes energy, and caffeine stimulates the nerves. Even if you are already lying on the operating table under anesthesia, you can hold on for a few more counts.

Lin Xu felt a sharp pain in his stomach. After waiting quietly for a few minutes, his mind gradually cleared.

Without further hesitation, he lay back down on the bed, looked at the number "1" on the bracelet, and gently touched it.

Consciousness was drained.

Then, in the next second, he was back in front of the skull.

Lin Xu went through the exact same process again.

Verification passed, and official mobilization has begun.

At this point, there are 55 minutes left in the countdown.

This time, however, he did not go to Zhongshan Sanatorium. Instead, he directly ordered the skull to head towards Beishan Reservoir, while simultaneously informing Bai Mo of the information regarding Zhou Yue's hiding place.

The skull on the bus looked a little nervous and asked:
"Where are we going?"

"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"Don't ask such stupid questions every time—I'm a member of the Coast Guard! You're on a mission!"

Lin Xu gave a brief reply, and at the same time quickly gave instructions to Bai Mo, who was already waiting on the phone:

"I need you to mobilize a rapid reaction force to provide immediate support. I have already sent you the location coordinates."

"We must get there within 10 minutes and launch an attack immediately."

"Note: Do not use noisy aircraft during maneuvers; the enemy is very wary!"

"In addition, the other side has a security team of no less than 20 people, some of whom are armed with automatic weapons, the extent of which is unknown."

"If incapacitating weapons can be used, then use them."

"cannot!"

Before Lin Xu could finish speaking, Bai Mo replied:

"The rapid reaction force is on its way and is expected to arrive in 8 minutes." "But according to the location information you provided, the enemy's stronghold is 20 meters underground, and we cannot penetrate it using incapacitating weapons."

"We have no choice but to attack head-on!"

"Then let's launch a full-scale attack!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xu continued:

"We must act quickly. We need to eliminate all of their security personnel while ensuring the survival of our key targets."

"We must be fast enough to reach our goal!"

As soon as Lin Xu finished speaking, an unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"This is impossible!"

"Based on your description, the other person may have committed suicide to avoid information leakage."

“In this situation, we absolutely do not have enough time to control everyone within the stronghold.”

"If even one person is capable of action, he can easily kill the important officials before we do."

"Relying solely on rapid reaction forces is insufficient; their equipment is inadequate to handle this situation!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Xu's brows immediately furrowed.

Can't do it?!

Indeed, that's really difficult to do.

The biggest challenge of this mission is not in breaking in—if it were just about breaking into the underground, let alone the rapid reaction force, even relying solely on Skull's PMC squad, we could easily break in.

The real challenge lies in the fact that Zhou Yue is a madman.

It's unclear what he went through or what prejudice he held against the authorities, but even when he anticipated the impending doom, he still refused to cooperate with them and rejected any other possibility.

He will commit suicide.

He would take everyone around him and commit suicide together, even if it meant burying humanity's only possible hope with death, rather than revealing a single piece of information to the authorities.

To be honest, under these circumstances, even if we caught him, it would be very difficult to get any information.

But at least you have to catch them alive first, right?

The convoy continued to travel towards Beishan Reservoir, but Lin Xu was already running out of ideas.

And just then, he heard the strange man's voice again.

He asked:
"How long do you need your target to live?"

How long will you live?
Lin Xu glanced at his watch.

The countdown now has 51 minutes remaining, and the convoy is expected to arrive at the designated location in 49 minutes.

What if we remove the entry time?
"45 minutes!"

Lin Xu spoke up to answer.

"clear."

The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said:
"Our fighter jets are expected to arrive in 2 minutes."

"We will drop bunker buster bombs near the target area."

"The shockwave will cause internal organ failure in the personnel inside the bunker, rendering them incapable of movement within minutes."

"But they won't live much longer either."

"At the same time, overpressure may also cause structural changes in the topography around the reservoir."

"The floodwaters may backflow."

"We must enter immediately after the explosion to evacuate the VIPs; there's a risk involved in the time difference."

"No risk!"

Lin Xu interrupted the man and then said:

“I have a combat squad already on its way to Beishan Reservoir, and I will be faster than you.”

"We will arrive in two minutes."

"The fighter jets are dropping bombs as planned!"

"The sooner the better!"
