I write obituaries for the gods

Why did you suddenly become so forceful last night, pulling that girl into your arms all at once...?

What if they don't want to?

No, no, why would I be unwilling? If I were unwilling, why would I invite you to share a bed?

Although they were forced to share a bed due to objective circumstances, they hadn't progressed to that stage yet, and more intimate actions were still...

Has it not developed to that stage yet?

Lin Chen suddenly felt that he didn't even know what he was thinking anymore.

Only then did he belatedly realize that his relationship with Li Zhanyi had actually progressed to a very intimate stage.

However, he himself was unaware of it.

But instinct doesn't lie.

"Phew... So you only really start dating after you graduate from university?"

Lin Chen took a towel and wiped the water off his face.

However, this doesn't seem to be the most important thing at this stage.

The situation outside is so chaotic; it's not a good time to talk about friends.

Let's find an opportunity after everything is over.

"Clang."

Lin Chen walked out of the washroom, and Li Zhanyi had already placed two bowls of noodles with minced meat sauce on the table.

"Luckily, the refrigerator isn't broken, and the ready-made meals I stored are still usable!" Li Zhanyi tapped two chopsticks together. "Let's make do for now!"

"It's been a long time."

Lin Chen sat down at the table and started eating with Li Zhanyi.

The two remained silent, simply enjoying the long-lost atmosphere of the morning.

After finishing their meal, the two, as usual, put on their vests and coats together in the porch, then pushed open the door—

"Splash—"

A breeze carrying the scent of pomelo blossoms blew by, bringing with it bright sunshine and misty moisture.

The morning after the rain was sunny.

......

How is Bruce doing?

"They're all doing alright, but they'll have to stay in the ICU for a while," Hua Molan said, looking at the data on the tablet. "After all, they went down so deep, and nobody knows if there will be any long-term effects."

“They’re a bunch of lunatics,” Jiang Zhengge shook his head. “I just don’t know if the information they got is reliable.”

“We’ll find out soon,” Hua Molan said.

At this moment, the door to the combat command center was pushed open, and Lin Chen and Li Zhanyi walked in.

"Everything's all set up perfectly in just one night," Lin Chen said, looking at the various pieces of equipment laid out. "The comrades worked through the night..."

"Given how things have turned out, we need to race against time." Jiang Zhengge put his hands in his pockets.

"What should we do next?" Lin Chen asked Hua Molan.

"What's next? Next, we'll blow them up!"

A mechanical sound came from behind him. Lin Chen turned his head and saw the "Black Knight" slowly walking over, its mechanical structure opening and closing continuously.

"Mom, I already said the Black Knight was just repaired. Tell the logistics department to check it for a while longer." Hua Molan was somewhat speechless.

"Oh dear, I should walk more!"

The mecha opened, and Hua Luori jumped out, grinning at Hua Molan.

Two logistics officers rushed over and took the opportunity to drag the Black Knight away.

"I'm back on the battlefield!" Hua Luori gave Lin Chen a "V" sign.

"Congratulations," Lin Chen smiled, "another capable assistant."

"I heard you worked in logistics for a few months, senior," Jiang Zhengge said with a faint smile. "How was it?"

"This is terrible! My spine feels like it's suddenly become really bad!"

Hua Luo Ri looked dejected, then suddenly smiled brightly:

"However, the suffering is over!"

For some reason, after spending more time with Hua Luori, Lin Chen could no longer connect her with the cold-blooded and evil secret agent assassin she once was.

At first, he thought Black Sword was just showing off and being pretentious during Operation Whalers, but now he thinks he might just be a little socially awkward.

She's not so easy to talk to outsiders, but once you get to know her, she's like a little sun.

Sometimes I really forget that Hua Luori is actually Hua Molan's mother...

Auntie... no, sister, you really have a youthful mindset!

Clearly, Hua Luori couldn't hear Lin Chen's inner turmoil. She looked at Jiang Zhengge and called out:

"By the way, where's Oswald, that elusive guy on your team? I haven't seen him."

“Isn’t that how he always is?” Jiang Zhengge shrugged. “As soon as he gets an opportunity, he disappears without a trace, and then when you contact him again at some point, he’s already infiltrated the enemy.”

"How terrifying," Li Zhanyi muttered.

At this moment, Hua Molan pressed the earpiece and said:

"okay, I get it."

"What do you know?" Jiang Zhengge turned his head.

"Our guests have arrived," Hua Molan said.

"Guests?" Lin Chen turned his head.

The doors to the operations command center opened, and Tang Xiaoren swaggered in, looking extremely arrogant.

Following behind her was a young girl dressed in a black Chinese-style dress.

The moment he saw the girl, Hua Luori waved his hand:

"Hey, Rumo! Long time no see!"

Lin Chen looked at the girl called "Ru Mo" and the first thing he noticed was her pair of deep blue eyes.

With her ever-bright, deep blue eyes, this girl is either a symbiote or a demigod.

"Greetings, everyone," Ru Mo walked to the table, smiled and nodded to the people around him, "I think you need some information."

“This is Ru Mo, an ally from the east,” Hua Molan introduced to everyone. “I can’t go into her specific department or position, but in short, she is trustworthy.”

Upon hearing "from the east," Lin Chen knew which faction she belonged to.

People from our hometown are still the most reliable.

“You have all suffered these days. We have been busy dealing with the Foundation and have not been able to spare enough time to provide assistance,” Ru Mo bowed slightly. “Of course, you provided us with precise coordinates during Operation Black Morning Star, which allowed us to destroy the Foundation’s launch site to the greatest extent possible and prevent a greater crisis from coming.”

“You guys are very efficient,” Lin Chen recalled the speed at which those launch sites went offline. “People from the same hometown are reliable.”

“It’s just a basic display of force,” Ru Mo nodded and smiled at Lin Chen. “Now, let me bring you the situation outside.”

She took the remote control from Hua Molan and pressed a button on the big screen.

“Since the ‘White House’ incident, the foundation has been classified as a terrorist organization by the United Nations. Over the past few months, we have been launching raids on the foundation’s bases around the world, which can almost be described as starting a world war.”

"In order to protect themselves, the Foundation has deployed a large number of demigods. Fortunately, we are full of martial spirit and have already destroyed 74% of the Foundation's strongholds."

74% removed in just a few months? That's incredibly efficient.

However, looking at the data on the screen, Lin Chen inexplicably felt uneasy.

He understood that number meant sacrifice, cost, and passion.

The war between mortals and demigods is destined to be brutal.

Not only rain was drawn into the war, but the entire world was drawn into the war.

"Aren't you worried about an attack from Black Star VI?" Jiang Zhengge asked, looking at the screen.

“Of course we’re worried. In fact, we’re slowing down the process of it finishing its recharge,” Ru Mo said softly. “War does breed fear, but without war, the fear created by the Foundation’s demigods in the local area would only be greater, and at least... resistance gives people hope.”

"Clearly, our actions severely interfered with the Foundation's 'Search for Sodom' program. Black Star VI's charging rate was disrupted, preventing it from launching as scheduled."

"Therefore, they took a series of measures."

At this point, Ru Mo looked at Hua Molan.

Hua Molan nodded and said:

"That's why the Foundation intends to use Black Star VI to destroy the secret launch site, thereby preventing anyone from going to space—they are buying time."

“The destruction of Rain City is an additional cost,” Ru Mo said softly. “Therefore, your next phase of mission should prioritize the destruction of Black Star VI.”

“This is also part of our plan,” Jiang Zhengge nodded.

"I have a question," Lin Chen looked at Ru Mo, "Don't we have any spacecraft in our hometown? Why can't we just fly up there and destroy Black Star VI?"

“I was just about to explain that.” Ru Mo nodded.

She picked up the remote control, pressed a button, and a photo appeared on the screen.

The background of the photo is near-Earth orbit, and the curvature of the Earth is clearly visible.

Above the orbit, a giant aircraft, resembling a steel behemoth, is hovering.

“Iron One, the father’s ride,” Ru Mo said. “This thing is escorting Black Star VI. Any flying object that tries to get close, including meteorites, will be intercepted and destroyed by it.”

"An aircraft, that powerful?" Jiang Zhengge frowned.

"In fact, it is not an aircraft."

Ru Mo shook his head:

"It is an anomalous entity, Alpha-level."

After saying that, Ru Mo played another video.

The video's main perspective is from inside the cockpit of an aircraft, where the pilot is rapidly pressing buttons on the control panel.

"Target locked, launch all missiles."

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang—"

One after another, space torpedoes were launched, trailing blue light as they flew towards "Iron One".

The next second, Steel One suddenly began to spin rapidly, and a wave of eerie blue light burst forth, instantly destroying all the torpedoes—

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!!"

"Drip drip drip!"

A scream came from the driver's perspective. He reached out and found his wrist was torn open, with steel spikes emerging from under his skin and beginning to coil around it like venomous snakes.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

"This thing can destroy almost all electronic devices and corrupt locked life forms, turning them into anomalous entities."

After watching the video, everyone fell silent.

Lin Chen had to admit that he crashed when the seemingly clumsy 'aircraft' suddenly started spinning at an absurd speed.

Doesn't the loving father get dizzy sitting in there? Isn't this even more insane than the giant swing ride at an amusement park?

“It seems that the secret launch site is indeed the only way to reach low Earth orbit,” Ru Mo said softly. “I have brought a large number of logistics personnel and supplies, and will complete the reconstruction work for you as quickly as possible.”

"Aren't there any combat personnel?" Jiang Zhengge asked.

“Unfortunately, the Foundation’s counterattacks around the world are still ongoing, and we are unable to mobilize enough troops,” Ru Mo shook his head. “However, we have dispatched a fleet group to the Southeast Sea, which can provide limited support.”

"This is much more effective than combat personnel," Lin Chen said.

To be honest, Lin Chen might not be very good at cooperating with soldiers he doesn't know—they might not be able to keep up with his pace.

But if he were given a carrier strike group that he could call upon at any time, he would be much more comfortable.
