Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Hearing Lin Qi’s explanation, Ding Yang and Wang Qiang were at a loss for words.

A genius?

Or just arrogant?

After all, this launch mission might determine the very survival of human civilization.

Yet when designing the spacecraft, Lin Qi hadn’t focused all his energy on propulsion and reliability. Instead, he had diverted his attention to designing a structure that would minimize its disturbance.

Wasn’t Lin Qi afraid that this tiny, superfluous design choice could lead to failure?

Or perhaps...

’He’s just too confident...’ Ding Yang murmured inwardly.

Seeing the two men standing before him, dumbfounded, Lin Qi finally asked, "Gentlemen, the launch is complete. We still need to wait for feedback from Headquarters for the final results. Will you be returning to Hongshan Camp to wait, or will you stay here?"

Only then did Ding Yang and Wang Qiang snap out of it.

Wang Qiang, in particular, had a look of complex emotions in his eyes.

Ding Yang, who was more familiar with Lin Qi, spoke up. "We’ll wait here at Mo University Camp. If Headquarters sends word, Hongshan Camp will immediately send someone to inform us."

Lin Qi nodded. Keeping two more people at Mo University Camp just meant providing one more meal.

Mo University Camp wasn’t short on that small amount of supplies.

Ding Yang added, "From now on, we need to be cautious. It’s best to stay away from the windows. According to Headquarters, once the mission begins, the Blood Moon might make a move, regardless of success or failure."

At this, Wang Qiang chimed in, "It’s not just the Blood Moon. Moon Worshipers might even appear. But Mo University Camp should be safe from them for now."

"Mo University Camp acted too quickly; even Headquarters couldn’t keep up. Even if any Moon Worshipers had their eyes on this place, they’ve likely only just started organizing an operation."

"Now that Mo University’s Tier Five Extraordinary Item has been sent into space, the Moon Worshipers will most likely abandon their plans for this camp and rush to the locations of the other teams instead."

"But Moon Worshipers are lunatics, so we must be on guard. Lin Qi, please try to stay indoors. As a Tier Three Awakened, I will handle your protection."

Wang Qiang had finally said something that Lin Qi didn’t find so disagreeable.

And from his words, Lin Qi could tell that Headquarters really didn’t seem to harbor any ill will toward Mo University Camp.

Wang Qiang and Ding Yang had rushed to Mo University Camp without a moment’s rest after receiving the news, presumably to ensure its safety.

Ding Yang was just an escort; Wang Qiang was the main force.

"In that case, my thanks, Major Wang Qiang."

In truth, Lin Qi was already Tier Three and didn’t fear most of the dangers in the Doomsday World.

No matter how ferocious the Moon Worshipers were, it was impossible for them to have the combat power of a Tier Four.

Once they reached Tier Four, they weren’t Moon Worshipers anymore, but Blood Moon Envoys.

But even though he wasn’t afraid of them, it didn’t stop Lin Qi from expressing his thanks while gleefully hiding his own strength.

The Dragon Country officials probably didn’t know he had already broken through to Tier Three. After all, he had received his Special Merit far later than the Tier Three Extraordinaries at Headquarters.

Lin Qi believed it was absolutely necessary to hide a portion of his strength from Headquarters.

After all, Lin Qi suspected that Headquarters was likely receiving help from some external power.

As for whether this external power was Aliens or something else, Lin Qi had no idea.

Before he reached Tier Four, before he could guarantee his survival against a Tier Five existence, Lin Qi had no desire to be seen through completely by Headquarters.

He then exchanged a few more words with Ding Yang and Wang Qiang.

Immediately after, Lin Qi returned to the sixth-floor conference room and pulled down all the curtains.

Meanwhile, Wang Ziru was rushing around the entire building.

In every room, windows were sealed, curtains were drawn, or opaque materials were taped over them.

Mo University Camp had clearly entered a state of high alert.

Besides the main stronghold in the Club Activity Building, Wang Ziru also personally ran to the other few buildings where people were stationed to relay the orders.

Arriving at the building where the Moon Worshipers were held, Wang Ziru informed the team in charge of guarding them, as well as Wei Yue.

After seeing Wang Ziru off, Wei Yue personally watched over the two remaining Moon Worshipers while looking up at the thick floorboards above. She muttered to herself, "Has the operation begun? Can they really stop the Blood Moon..."

"I don’t want to experience that feeling of losing myself again. It’s too painful, too empty..."

Taking a deep breath, Wei Yue quietly slipped her hand into her pocket.

Inside her pocket was a sharp fruit knife.

If the Blood Moon’s mutation couldn’t be stopped.

If the Blood Moon Will truly had to descend.

She would try to end her own life at the last possible moment!

「In the conference room of the Club Activity Building.」

Lin Qi silently calculated the time, using it to extrapolate the spacecraft’s position.

’If everything goes as planned, by now the spacecraft should have left the atmosphere. It’s starting to enter a curved trajectory and will soon begin corrections, heading straight for the L1 point.’

While estimating the time, Lin Qi also activated his Spiritual Vision to observe any changes in the environment.

Compared to the last Spiritual Particle tide, the range of Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision had increased by nearly ten times.

He could now observe a larger area, allowing for a more holistic view of environmental changes.

This allowed for a more detailed observation of regional changes in Spiritual Particles, making it easier to detect alterations in their state caused by the Blood Moon.

For now, everything was normal.

After leaving the atmosphere, the Tier Five Extraordinary Item hadn’t triggered any abnormal reaction from the Blood Moon.

This indicated that the Blood Moon was indeed far from its awakening and was not yet capable of detecting the path of the Tier Five Extraordinary Item.

The wait continued as time slowly trickled by.

One hour, two hours...

The anticipated change did not occur.

Four hours, five hours...

The Blood Moon remained unchanged, but someone had trespassed into Mo University’s territory.

With a single glance, Lin Qi could confirm their identities.

Moon Worshipers!

Just as he thought, Wei Yue’s team wasn’t the only group of Moon Worshipers.

There were others hidden in various places.

The group that had come to Mo University Camp was one of them.

’Coming to Mo University Camp at this time... they’re most likely here because of the Blood Moon mutation.’

’But their appearance confirms it: the Moon Worshipers don’t know that I’ve already sent the Tier Five Extraordinary Item into space.’

’Their intelligence is lagging, and they can’t get timely updates.’

’As for how they knew Mo University Camp had a Tier Five Extraordinary Item...’

Lin Qi decided to capture this group of Moon Worshipers.

’Capture them and interrogate them!’

’But not now!’

The Blood Moon could change at any moment; it wasn’t a convenient time to go out and capture people.

Besides, Wang Qiang was still in the camp. Catching them rashly would attract his attention and could even expose the existence of Wei Yue’s group of Moon Worshipers.

Therefore, Lin Qi decisively chose to activate his Ability from a distance.

"Why am I so dizzy?"

"Me too..."

"You two, why are your mouths crooked?"

"Forget about us, why are you drooling?"

The Moon Worshipers were on the move. This group was actually not weak.

Every one of them was at a Tier Two level.

They had laid low for a long time. Although they hadn’t pulled off a major incident like the one in Shuining City, lying low and building up their strength had allowed them to become slightly more powerful than ordinary Extraordinaries.

However, being Tier Two was obviously not enough to pose a threat to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi simply applied a little pressure to their blood, causing the vessels in their brains to clog up a bit.

The effect was immediate!

In no time, a group of them were lying on the ground.

They wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, and even if they did, Lin Qi would notice immediately.

’One minute left.’

The cooldown for [Door] was about to finish. This meant that in about thirty seconds, the spacecraft would reach its designated position.

But on a cosmic scale, the spacecraft could already be considered to have reached the L1 point.

At that very moment, the change finally occurred.

Although he couldn’t see the Spiritual Particles beyond its range, through the expanded reach of his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi saw that the Moon in the sky seemed to be trembling.

It seemed to be turning around, opening Its eyes!

But at the same time, a flash of icy blue light bloomed.

Vaguely, Lin Qi seemed to see an icy blue chain that spanned the cosmos materialize, extending toward the Moon’s position.
