Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

The Eastern Alliance's influence in the Asian Administrative Region was strong enough that even the Big Business Alliance had to comply with some of its demands. These identities, which made operations more convenient, were one of the privileges granted by the Big Business Alliance.

After receiving the chip, Liu Weiyi's expression turned even uglier.

Although he hadn't read it yet, he knew this identity couldn't be fake.

This type of disposable chip was exclusively for high-level employees of the Big Business Alliance. And judging by what she'd said, her direct superior reported straight to the Permanent Council.

That was even more terrifying.

A thousand thoughts raced through Liu Weiyi's mind as he connected the dots.

Lin Qi's sister, the Big Business Alliance, and the way things had unfolded back in Alliance City...

Liu Weiyi reached an unbelievable conclusion: Lin Qi wasn't just some pretty boy!

He was a pretty boy with connections and a powerful background!

He himself might be a pretty boy, but his sister had somehow quietly left Red Fruit City and become a high-level employee in the Big Business Alliance...

Damn it!

How could Lin Qi be so lucky?

Liu Weiyi fell silent. He didn't even want to read the chip himself.

He would take the chip back and have the Old Master read it personally.

That way, the Old Master wouldn't pin all the blame for the mission's failure on him.

Seeing Liu Weiyi fall silent, Lin Qi and Liu Xuan didn't react further, simply boarding the flying vehicle one after the other.

The Liu Clan's internal strife was a trivial matter compared to the current crisis in Red Fruit City.

If Liu Weiyi hadn't seized the window of opportunity when Liu Xingyuan and Liu Xinglu were entering the safe house, he wouldn't have been able to stir up any trouble at all.

The truly pressing matters were still far from resolved.

This was the very reason for Lin Xin's return to Red Fruit City.

After Lin Qi and Liu Xuan boarded the flying vehicle, the door and windows sealed shut, and the vehicle took off again.

The red-framed projection over the ruins of No. 8 Fortress Road was also retracted.

The members of the riot squad gathered together.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"The mission failed. Aren't we screwed?"

"What do you mean, 'screwed'? The Old Master is still around. Hurry back to the company and regroup with him. We have to get out of Red Fruit City as soon as possible. Worst case, we leave the Asian Administrative Region. With our Prosthetic Body loadouts, we're more than qualified to become an Intercontinental Mercenary Corps."

Liu Weiyi had a clear grasp of the situation.

With the Old Master's plan in ruins, they absolutely couldn't stay in Red Fruit City.

They might not even find a safe haven within the Asian Administrative Region.

They had to run. They absolutely had to run!

The European Administrative Region? Or America, Africa, Antarctica? If all else failed, they could escape to a Space Cyber City! No matter how ruthless Liu Xingyuan was, his influence couldn't reach the two major Space Cyber Cities—the Moon and Mars! As long as they had a huge amount of Credit Points and their priceless Prosthetic Bodies, they could find a place for themselves anywhere.

Liu Weiyi decisively led his men aboard the HGPD vehicle and headed toward Liu's Heavy Industries Headquarters.

...

Lin Qi and Liu Xuan sat in the back of the flying vehicle. For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

In the end, it was Lin Qi who broke the silence, asking Lin Xin, "What's the situation now? I was trapped for a while, with no network access to find out what's been happening outside."

Lin Xin was about to speak when Sister Li, who was beside her, suddenly coughed a few times, as if reminding Lin Xin to be mindful of confidentiality.

Lin Xin thought for a moment before saying, "Right now, aside from the Liu Clan's internal strife, no other dangers have emerged in Red Fruit City. But that doesn't mean there is no danger."

"I'll be staying at the Prosthetic Clinic for the foreseeable future, until this whole mess is resolved. The initial estimate is that it will take at least three more days."

Lin Xin couldn't tell Lin Qi exactly what was happening, nor what the specific trouble was.

She could only give him bits of information within the bounds of confidentiality rules.

The amount of information was minimal. Even though Lin Qi knew a lot of inside details, it was difficult for him to deduce anything more from Lin Xin's words.

But Lin Qi had expected as much.

Although Lin Qi wanted to investigate the European Big Business Alliance's plans further, as well as the situation on the Moon in the Cyber World, Ning Hao, the Bearer, had already become a Tier Four Extraordinary, far exceeding his ability to handle things. His only choice was to borrow strength and call in people from the Eastern Alliance.

With the Eastern Alliance's intervention, it would be difficult for Lin Qi to participate personally, but the risks would be greatly reduced.

Besides, Lin Qi hadn't completely lost his ability to acquire information.

By relying on the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps, Guang Ling, and King Arthur, Lin Qi could still get plenty of intel.

Sitting in the back of the flying vehicle, Lin Qi thought:

'This Sister Li with Lin Xin is a Tier Three Top Level Extraordinary. For an Extraordinary like her to only be responsible for protecting Lin Xin during the Red Fruit City operation means the ones actually carrying out the mission must be stronger than her. They have to be Tier Four.'

'As for the three-day timeframe...'

'Either the people from the Eastern Alliance haven't completely figured out the cause and development of this incident, or they already know everything and are just waiting for the right opportunity.'

'The Bearers are scattered across the various Cyber Cities of the Asian Administrative Region. Perhaps the Eastern Alliance will deploy a massive force to move against all the Bearers simultaneously, preventing any information from leaking and triggering an even greater disaster.'

The destructive potential of a Bearer's Tier Four Extraordinary Power was currently unknown.

But Lin Qi knew that those people with Exotic Spiritual Particles parasitizing their brains were definitely a huge hidden threat.

Once they were triggered, a massive number of Zombies in full-body, A-Class Prosthetic Bodies would appear in the Cyber World.

The destructive power of such Zombies would be nothing short of terrifying.
