Did the world end today?

Chapter 133 The Code of the Wound

Chapter 133 The Code of the Wound
Lin Xu opened his eyes in bed, his mind still foggy.

There was only one thought in his mind.

Jiang Xingye is dead.

Of course, this wasn't the first time he had experienced Jiang Xingye's death in the bracelet world.

Objectively speaking, Jiang Xingye had already died countless times in the first world.

However, being wiped out by the apocalypse is different from being murdered.

Dying on Mars, hundreds of millions of kilometers away, is different from dying in front of yourself.

The shock was so intense that even though Lin Xu knew perfectly well that she would survive the next reincarnation, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Holy crap, is this the power of anchor points?

When Bai Mo was shot, he didn't seem to be that heartbroken.

wrong.

The reason I wasn't heartbroken is because I didn't see it with my own eyes.

If it were the next time, and I had already confirmed that "Bai Mo is still the Bai Mo I know," I would probably go berserk if I witnessed her being murdered.

Lin Xu vaguely understood something.

The so-called anchor point may not necessarily be an anchor point that exists in this real world.

In the world of fitness trackers, those familiar with you also serve as anchors.

Only when they are treated as "people" rather than "NPCs" can the anchor point truly function.

Perhaps this is why the influence of higher dimensions was not obvious when I entered the previous world, but the situation has deteriorated rapidly in this world?
They've entered a different world, and they think they're no longer who they used to be.

But in reality, they are still themselves, just in a different identity.
Lin Xu let out a soft breath, sat up from the bed, walked to his desk, opened his notebook, and wrote down the information he had gathered so far.

[Zero is not human, but a projection of consciousness akin to artificial intelligence. It is very likely that Zero itself is the core of the firewall designed by Jiang Xingye.]

Jiang Xingye was murdered, and the murder occurred before the rebellion, possibly starting to brew simultaneously with the Martian sandstorm.

Shen Li, Bai Mo, and Dong Hui are all potential allies; even without activating the Butterfly Plan, they can still help achieve limited goals.

The rebellion will only begin after the Butterfly Plan has been activated.

This series of information did not bring him much progress in terms of "information," but it gave him a clear path to action.

Find Bai Mo, reveal your identity, land on Mars, and stop the murder.

Only by stopping the murder can we possibly see Jiang Xingye alive and get more concrete information and clues from her.

Lin Xu recorded the route in his notebook, and when he wrote down the name "Bai Mo," he couldn't help but sigh once again that someone as capable as her was no ordinary person, no matter where she went.

Even without any other support, she was willing to take the gamble based solely on her own judgment.

He's truly a good comrade!

The thought that someone would be there to help me in that world made me feel relieved.

I feel much more at ease now.

Lin Xu glanced at the bracelet; the number "2" on it was flashing.

He still hasn't fully figured out the consumption logic of this thing. Entering the bracelet world once sometimes consumes a lot, and sometimes it consumes little.

However, it's possible that the impact of the Mars descent was so immense that it's hard to find anything in reality to compare it to.

That kind of stimulation
Roller coasters and drop towers are child's play.

If we had to make a comparison, it would be roughly equivalent to driving a car into a wall and then bringing it to a precise stop in the last few seconds.

Although I know it's hard to die, I also know it's not impossible.

That feeling of surviving a disaster is truly a huge drain on one's energy.

But it probably won't happen again next time.

It was only 10 p.m. when Lin Xu thought for a moment and then decisively lay back down on the bed.

Strike while the iron is hot!

The Mars descent took 16 minutes. Even if I only spent the same amount of time, I could save Jiang Xingye if I did it again.

Because the killers are still at the scene.

The murders may have only just ended!

Lin Xu gently touched the bracelet.

Consciousness faded, followed by a rapid fall.

Good morning, Comrade Lin Xu.

Lin Xu opened his eyes and rushed towards the bridge command room without stopping.

He didn't plan to go see Dong Hui again.

He had already verified this when he entered the bracelet world last time: as long as the Butterfly Plan was not activated, the rebellion would not occur immediately.

Therefore, Dong Hui was actually just a "transitional candidate".

Since he doesn't even know who Zero is, there's no point in looking for him now.

Find Bai Mo directly, turn off communication, and reveal your identity to her.

As long as she is still Bai Mo, she will definitely be willing to take a gamble on herself!
Lin Xu walked quickly, and 1 minute and 30 seconds after entering the bracelet world, he arrived at the bridge command room and met Shen Li and Bai Mo inside.

"Comrade Bai Mo."

Lin Xu began to speak:
"I have important intelligence to report."

"To ensure secrecy, I demand that all external communications be cut off, severing the connection between Zhiyun AI and the outside world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo's eyes widened in astonishment.

Do you know what your request means?

"Of course!"

Lin Xu nodded decisively, while Bai Mo pressed on with the question:
"Why?"

"The group lost its ideals and beliefs, resulting in a collapse and defection."

As soon as he uttered those two phrases, Bai Mo immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without the slightest hesitation, she nodded to Shen Li, then led Lin Xu to a small room outside the bridge command.

"This is an electromagnetic shielding room."

"This is a private meeting room for the political commissar. I can guarantee 100% that it is completely free from any external surveillance. You can tell me whatever you want to say directly."

Good heavens, there's such a thing?!
You didn’t tell me earlier!
Bai Mo closed and locked the door, and Lin Xu spoke directly:
“I am a butterfly.”

“I have arrived in your world. The password for the Butterfly Plan is ‘Butterfly Landing.’ This is information I obtained during my previous visits to your world.”

"Furthermore, I possess other information."

Lin Xu rattled off all the information he had gathered, including Zhiyun's vulnerabilities, "Zero," the "theocratic problem," the unknown disasters that were about to occur on Earth, and the true catastrophe destined to happen on Phobos.

Bai Mo's expression visibly turned serious. She paused for a few seconds, then looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Why are you looking for me?"

“Even if you can’t activate the butterfly contingency plan, you should at least go to Dong Hui, who is directly involved, or Shen Li, the supreme commander.”

"Why are you looking for me?"

"It's very simple."

Lin Xu spoke solemnly:

“You have no memory, but I can tell you that in the dozens of worlds I have experienced before, we have always fought side by side.”

"This is a new world, and you are one of the only two people I trust."

"I know you'll help me, because you said we have to keep moving forward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo took a deep breath.

Then she began to speak:
"Come with me."

"Time is limited, let's go straight to the landing ship."

"I will persuade Shen Li during the preparation process."

How can we persuade him?

Lin Xu asked subconsciously.

"I have my own way of doing it!"

Bai Mo opened the door to the counseling room and ran forward quickly.

Lin Xu paused slightly, then shouted:

"Bring the skeleton—bring Qi Yuan!"

"We need military support!"

Two minutes later, the landing craft was ready.

Bai Mo's so-called "method to persuade Shen Li" was extremely simple and crude. She directly told Shen Li that someone was attempting to attack Jiang Xingye and clearly pointed out the location of the attack.

Considering the bizarre loss of contact caused by the Martian sandstorm, Shen Li, after a brief deliberation, chose to act first and inform the authorities later.

The Vermilion Bird One began to descend into orbit, while Lin Xu, Bai Mo, and Qi Yuan boarded the landing craft.

"What is the enemy's firepower like? What is their equipment like?"

Qi Yuan inspected the weapons as he spoke:
“Our weapons are not very powerful. If the enemy is armed with full-powered weapons and wearing level 5 or higher ballistic protection, we may not be able to inflict effective damage on them.”

"If there is still time, I suggest calling for support from the Zhurong base now."

"They don't need to send personnel; they can just set up a logistics shuttle to transport the weapons we need to the launch site!"

"The logistics shuttle couldn't withstand the sandstorm!"

Bai Mo answered casually:
"If logistics shuttles can get there, how could people not get there?"

"The sandstorm is too strong; the area around the base has been completely covered, and the shuttle cannot possibly take off."

"what?"

Qi Yuan was dumbfounded.

"No, even the shuttle can't fly, you're going to use a landing craft for a rapid descent on orbit??"

Are you sure you can bring it down?

"You can try it."

Bai Mo replied in a deep voice:
"At least we came down last time."

When was the last time?

Qi Yuan continued to press for answers, while Bai Mo turned to Lin Xu.

"Then you should ask him. He said we've gone down."

Qi Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of disbelief, while Lin Xu simply nodded without saying a word.

"Fuck those two lunatics"

After uttering this vulgar phrase, Lin Xu finally felt a sense of familiarity with Qi Yuan.

At this moment, Zhuque-1 had lowered its orbit to the designated launch position, the shock engine ignited, and a surge of power came through. Lin Xu gritted his teeth and persevered, while Qi Yuan asked without changing his expression:

"Why choose me?"

Lin Xu grinned.

"Bai Mo has already asked about this."

"The answer is the same." "In the previous world, we fought side by side!"

"clear."

Qi Yuan exhaled softly, while Lin Xu asked the question he had wanted to ask ever since he first met Qi Yuan in this world:
How is your wife?

"She is on Earth."

Qi Yuan replied:
"She's in the counter-current task force."

At that moment, Lin Xu was dumbfounded.

The Countercurrent Working Group?

Are you kidding me? ?

Does this world also have plans to defy the tide?!
This was clearly a plan I created myself; theoretically, it should only affect the main world!

He wanted to ask a question, but at that moment, the spacecraft had already entered the most thrilling and exciting phase of the 400-kilometer circular orbit descent.

He was unable to speak anymore.

The intense overload caused him to faint.

When she opened her eyes again, the spaceship had already begun to decelerate and descend.

Outside the cabin, a violent sandstorm raged relentlessly. Lin Xu felt the vibrations beneath his seat, followed by a slight knocking sound. Bai Mo then decisively gave the order:

"Put on your helmets, prepare to enter!"

"Qi Yuan, you lead the way!"

"clear."

Qi Yuan moved swiftly; after confirming that everyone was wearing helmets, he immediately opened the hatch.

The three then landed one by one, distributed weapons and donned equipment, and advanced at full speed toward the launch base amidst the swirling sandstorm.

They claimed to be going full speed, but their actual speed was quite slow.

When the low-rise buildings below the launch site were finally seen, 29 minutes had passed.

But at least, it was 16 minutes earlier than last time.

At this time, Jiang Xingye was very likely still alive!

Lin Xu pulled the bolt back and took two steps to stand in front of Bai Mo.

Bai Mo subconsciously wanted to pull him back, but Lin Xu shut her down with just one sentence.

"You don't understand CQB."

What words?

Do you understand?!
Bai Mo's eyes flickered, but Qi Yuan had already seen through everything.

"We can't blow up the door, and Door One can't be opened at the same time as Door Two. If Door Two is opened, we might be trapped in the airlock."

"We can only gamble. We must try to avoid the hourglass zone of death and avoid being exposed to direct fire!"

"I'll open the door, you throw the stun grenade!"

"Understood. I'll be in charge of dropping the stun grenades. Enter the back wave and unfold."

Lin Xu confirmed the plan with Qi Yuan using the simplest tactical language. Bai Mo couldn't understand what they were saying at all, so he could only follow closely behind with his weapon in hand.

At this moment, the three-person team had reached the first airtight door.

Bai Mo stepped forward, entered the password to open the door, and the three of them filed in.

Immediately afterwards, Gate 1 closed and Gate 2 unlocked.

Success or failure depends on this.

Qi Yuan unlocked the second door and then forcefully pushed it open a crack.

Gunshots rang out instantly!

Gunshots coming from inside the cabin!
Those attackers are still here!

At this moment, Lin Xu did not even feel fear, but rather a strange excitement.

Don't die.

I am coming.

Two shocking bullets were fired.

"Om-"

A huge explosion rang out, and almost at the same time, Qi Yuan pushed open the door and opened fire.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

As the gunshot rang out, people fell inside the cabin.

Lin Xu bypassed the line of fire from Qi Yuan's left and entered the cabin, quickly opening fire on the enemy in the corner.

Meanwhile, the skull moved to the right side of the hatch and knocked down an enemy in another corner to Lin Xu's side.

"Finish off! Finish off!"

"It didn't penetrate!"

Qi Yuan shouted the order, and Lin Xu decisively lowered his gun and fired continuously at the fallen enemy.

In just a few seconds, all the enemies guarding the building were eliminated.

Without pausing, the two skillfully changed guns and reloaded their ammunition, then continued their advance underground.

Bai Mo, standing behind them, was completely dumbfounded.

She never imagined that this butterfly's fighting ability would be comparable to that of professional security personnel.
-
Of course, this is just her opinion.

In reality, Lin Xu is far from being as good as Qi Yuan.

But it is not important.

The two had already opened the protective door of the underground bunker and were throwing stun grenades down as if they were free.

Immediately afterward, the two entered the underground as the stun grenade exploded.

Gunfire erupted, and braving the dense hail of bullets, Qi Yuan advanced rapidly as if his life depended on it.

He had been shot several times, and his bulletproof vest had been completely penetrated.

But at this moment, he showed no fear whatsoever.

He seemed to have accepted his impending death here.

His actions created excellent conditions for Lin Xu to attack. The underground passage was wiped out, and the remaining four enemies were killed.
-
But no one else is alive anymore.

Including Jiang Xingye.

She was clearly executed at close range the moment the three-person team stormed in.

There was a small bullet hole in her forehead and a huge hole in the back of her head.

There was no chance of survival.

Just like everyone else.

"This is the interrogation scene."

Qi Yuan was panting heavily.

He couldn't hold on any longer.

"Check, check the communication equipment."

"Recording, recording equipment."

They might not have time to destroy it.

"Inspect the ground and surrounding environment."

"The person being interrogated may have left information!"

"Understood. You should rest."

Lin Xu spoke in a deep voice.

"Leave the rest to us. Bai Mo, check the surrounding area."

"No it's not"

Qi Yuan sat up with difficulty and pointed to the enemy's corpse beside him, saying:

"These people have a very unique fighting style!"

They use the TOB grip.

"The weapons have been revolutionized."

"TOB is outdated."

"These people are East Asian, but they must be from a foreign military."

After saying that, Qi Yuan had no more strength to speak.

He stared at Lin Xu with wide eyes, wanting to say something, but his pierced lung began to emit a tooth-grinding grinding sound like a broken bellows.

They won't survive.

Lin Xu grasped his hand.

"Don't be afraid, you should rest first, we will meet again."

"I will take good care of your wife."

Qi Yuan's eyes widened suddenly.

Lin Xu added:
"It's not that kind of care!"

Qi Yuan nodded slowly and closed his eyes.

At this moment, Bai Mo suddenly spoke up:
"Jiang Xingye's hand."

"There's something wrong with her hands."

"what is the problem?"

Lin Xu immediately stepped forward.

Three fingers were broken.
