Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Lin Mo's lips twitched, his expression turning into a wry smile.

Well, after all this, all the hopes of the nation have been reduced to just me, their sole survivor?

Lin Mo's eyes darted around, and then he suddenly laughed again.

"So... my superhuman physique is a one-of-a-kind, one-of-a-kind product?"

Academician Liu Chengen nodded subconsciously:

"Based on the current data, yes."

His face practically screamed "This is not scientific!"

"We've exhausted every means possible, but the way that life essence is transformed... is beyond our comprehension." Liu Chengen slapped his thigh, deflated.

"All I can say is, it...it's magical!"

The spark of hope had barely begun to ignite when it was extinguished by a bucket of ice water called "the end of science."

"Understood." Lin Mo snapped his fingers.

"I've become a humanoid monster now, you guys aren't going to try to slice me into pieces later, are you?"

His joke immediately lightened the tense atmosphere.

At this moment, Zhao Gang's calm voice rang out.

"Although it cannot be directly copied, it is not without value."

He walked over, looking at Lin Mo with bright, piercing eyes.

"At least, we have confirmed that there are divine objects on Terra that are capable of reversing fate."

"Just because we can't do it now doesn't mean we won't be able to in the future. As long as we develop our extraction technology over there, bringing it back is only a matter of time."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

"yes!"

Zhao Gang walked up to Lin Mo, his gaze intense.

"Now, let's talk about something else."

He glanced at the surrounding medical staff and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go to the conference room."

In the conference room, several military staff officers were already waiting, clearly indicating that Zhao Gang had made arrangements in advance.

Zhao Gang got straight to the point.

"Lin Mo, the Elf Queen's invitation is ostensibly to thank us for our help."

"But I think this is just a pretext. After all, the most precious fruit of life has already been rewarded to you."

Lin Mo immediately replied:

Therefore, the real intention was not in the wine.

"That's right." Zhao Gang nodded.

A female staff officer added:

"What the Queen wants to see is you, a visitor from another world, and the Great Xia that you represent. This is both a test and an opportunity."

Another male staff officer picked up the conversation:

"Our composite crossbows have given them a taste of the benefits of technological superiority."

"The Queen likely wants us to provide more technology, whether logistical or weaponry, to help them fight the Daedric.

"This is a crucial step in establishing a deep partnership with the Elves."

He walked to the huge holographic map and pointed to the ever-expanding red shadows on Earth.

"The slowdown of Earth's rotation continues, and the rate of magnetic field decay and atmospheric loss is accelerating."

"Project Ark is just a temporary respite."

"We need the seeds of the World Tree. In the future, once Earth's rotation completely stops, we can propagate the World Tree on the terminator and recreate the ecosystem."

"In fact, in today's underground cities, a single World Tree can support a perfect ecosystem of flora and fauna, and can also stabilize the land and reduce the damage from earthquakes, greatly reducing the technical difficulty of building underground cities."

Looking at the shocking red color on the map, Lin Mo's frivolousness was instantly suppressed by a heavy heart.

"This is indeed a golden opportunity," Zhao Gang continued.

"Your mission is to take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the elves, the World Tree, and the entire magic system of Terra."

"As the sole point of connection, every contact you make may open a new door for us."

"Understood, shall I go scout ahead?" Lin Mo asked.

"Yes." Zhao Gang nodded.

"With your current abilities, you can handle most risks. Stay vigilant, be bold in your approach, and come back to discuss anything you're unsure about."

Academician Qian Zhenhua also came over and solemnly patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.

"Lin Mo, you are now the hope of our civilization, bearing the future on your shoulders. Please be careful."

"Don't worry, fellow academicians, Brother Zhao!"

Lin Mo patted his chest.

"It's just going to the elves' homeland to find out their secrets and gather some intelligence to see what they want."

"no problem!"

Academician Liu Chengen was both amused and exasperated.

Zhao Gang smiled and waved his hand.

"Alright, that concludes the meeting. Take a break and don't rush things. A steady and methodical approach is the most important thing."

Lin Mo nodded and turned to leave the conference room.

.......

After returning home and finishing the large meal that was delivered, Lin Mo couldn't fall asleep for a while, and he couldn't muster any interest in playing games to pass the time.

After all, the immersive experience of another world is more realistic and interesting, which is a significant improvement over the world on the screen.

"How about we take a look around this underground base and get familiar with it? It's been so long since we've been here."

"While we're at it, let's see how far along the underground city construction is."

Before, when he was in the rented room, he made a living by doing odd jobs and manual labor on the outskirts of the underground city.

To see the overall construction progress, you have to stand at a high vantage point.

I opened the door and strolled along the corridor. As I walked out of an alloy door, two familiar guards silently followed me.

Lin Mo turned his head.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"

One of the guards said in a muffled voice:

"Sir, we are your bodyguards."

"We will follow and protect you as soon as you leave the designated area."

"My name is Wu Suowei, and his name is Wu Jiandao."

Lin Mo: "???"

"Whatever? Infernal Affairs?"

"Are you serious about your names?"

Wu Suowei: "........"

"Chief, it's the 'lock' in 'lock' and the 'guard' in 'guard'!" Wu Suowei emphasized.

Lin Mo pointed to another person,

"And what about him?"

Wu Suowei: "Him, his surname is also Wu. He was given this name because his father loved watching Infernal Affairs."

Lin Mo opened his mouth,

"Okay, with you guys around, I feel even less safe."

Wu Suowei: "........"

Wu Jiandao: "........"

"Don't worry, sir, we are professionals."

Lin Mo: "Unless you can't help it?"

The two were bewildered. "What can't be helped?"

Lin Mo smiled, waved, and turned around.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

"It just reminded me of a movie!"

I don't know where Zhao Gang found these two people.

I guess it's because they think their own mind is jumping around and they'll find it interesting?

In any case, having a bodyguard with you is definitely better, as it can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for protection... Lin Mo said he could take on more than ten guards.

Lin Mo took two more steps forward, then suddenly turned around.

"By the way, I'd like to check out the progress of the underground city's construction. Could you show me around?"

Wu Jiandao nodded.

"I know, I'll show you the way!"

"Hmm~~" Lin Mo was very satisfied and gave a thumbs up.

"Not bad, I have high hopes for you."

Wu Suowei: "........"

Wu Jiandao: "........"

This leader doesn't seem serious!

Lin Mo followed behind the other person, smacked his lips, and shook his head in amazement.

"I never imagined I'd be called 'Chief' one day. Am I finally experiencing the thrill of being an official?"

Suddenly he lowered his head,

"Huh? Why are my hands behind my back? And why am I walking with my feet turned outwards?"

Wu Suowei: "........"

Wu Jiandao: "........"
