Chapter 390 - 262: The First Cyber Psychosis of the Apocalypse
He put his wristband away.
After the conversation, it was already a little past midnight.
Lin Qi lay on his bed and rested for a while. When the time reached 1:58 AM on March 26, 2089.
The cooldown for the Door was complete. Lin Qi immediately opened it and headed for the Doomsday World.
...
In the meeting room on the sixth floor of the Club Activity Building, Lin Qi changed into his Doomsday World clothes and completed his daily Meditation.
He activated his Spiritual Vision. His old acquaintance Ding Yang had already arrived at the Mo University Camp.
Wang Qiang was also by Ding Yang’s side.
Through his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi suddenly noticed that Wang Qiang’s Extraordinary Level seemed to have increased.
’He’s at least Tier Three, Third Stage. Headquarters is certainly resourceful.’
Headquarters was as inscrutable as ever.
Wang Qiang’s Extraordinary Power hadn’t increased linearly. Instead, it had taken a huge leap after his trip back to Headquarters.
But with Lin Qi’s current strength, as long as Wang Qiang was still within the Tier Three range, he posed almost no threat.
Walking out of the meeting room, Wang Ziru was already waiting at the door.
"Boss, Ding Yang is here, and he brought Wang Qiang with him," Wang Ziru reported to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi nodded slightly and headed for the elevator, waving for Wang Ziru to follow.
The two took the elevator to a meeting room on the first floor.
This meeting room had practically become Lin Qi’s exclusive meeting room for receiving Ding Yang.
The moment Ding Yang saw Lin Qi, he stood up and immediately began with an apology: "Student Lin Qi, I’m sorry. We were negligent in this incident!"
Lin Qi waved his hand and asked, "Director Ding, there’s no need for that. How is the investigation going?"
Ding Yang quickly took a file folder from the backpack he was carrying.
The folder was labeled: "Investigation Report on the Railway System Moon Worshiper Incident"
In such a short time, Headquarters had already completed the investigation and even prepared a physical report.
Headquarters was as efficient as ever.
Ding Yang handed the folder directly to Lin Qi and gave a brief summary: "After receiving the intelligence you provided, Student Lin Qi, I personally went to Headquarters at once and submitted it directly to the Commander-in-Chief, bypassing the chain of command."
"The Commander-in-Chief took the intelligence very seriously and immediately organized a special task force of four Tier Three Extraordinaries, including Wang Qiang, to conduct an overnight investigation."
"I also took part in the operation, handling the railway system’s operational records and compiling a list of suspects."
After saying this, Ding Yang looked at Wang Qiang, signaling for him to continue with the details.
Wang Qiang nodded solemnly and added, "After receiving Deputy Director Ding’s intelligence, I immediately led the special task force to the corresponding railway node. But by the time I arrived, the place was already empty. Judging from the traces at the scene, they had left no more than fifteen minutes prior. They must have had lookouts posted along the route."
The operation was a failure. They didn’t even get to see the main culprits.
The methods of information transmission in the Doomsday World are too inefficient. Even Headquarters lacks a good way to coordinate everything.
Lin Qi listened while looking over the paper documents.
After getting a clear picture, he asked, "What is Headquarters planning to do about this?"
Ding Yang showed a helpless expression and replied, "We suspect there is a Tier Three level existence among this group of Moon Worshipers. Local forces can’t handle it. For now, we can only increase the patrol frequency of Tier Three Awakened and revert to traditional text-based encryption to deal with it."
"As for the Mo University Camp, because it’s responsible for the rocket manufacturing and launch mission, there’s a high probability it will be targeted. Therefore, Wang Qiang will be permanently stationed at the Mo University Camp from now on to ensure its safety."
"He made a great sacrifice for this mission, using an Extraordinary Item that causes great physical harm to stimulate his potential."
Lin Qi looked at Wang Qiang. ’No wonder his power jumped two levels in just a few days.’
Given the rate at which humans in the Doomsday World progressed their Extraordinary Power, the Tier Three Third Stage level was exceptionally advanced, for both Headquarters and the Moon Worshipers.
Wang Qiang’s expression was resolute. He said, "It’s what I should do. The Mo University Camp is vital to the Dragon Country. We can’t afford any mistakes."
These words made Lin Qi’s impression of Wang Qiang a little better.
"Can you temporarily lower the barrier your Spiritual Power maintains over your body? Let me take a look. My Extraordinary Power might be able to help you."
In any case, Wang Qiang was here to protect the Mo University Camp.
Lin Qi’s "Rapid Growth" was very effective for healing injuries.
Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then he nodded.
As a Tier Three Extraordinary, even if his powers weren’t of the Spiritual System, he should still have decent control over his Spiritual Power.
Lin Qi activated his Spiritual Vision and inspected the condition inside Wang Qiang’s body.
Originally, Lin Qi had thought the so-called damage would be injuries to organs, bones, or the like from the Extraordinary Item.
But when the information from his Spiritual Vision came back, the scene left Lin Qi quite surprised.
The abnormality was in Wang Qiang’s blood. His blood seemed to be mixed with something strange.
This substance had a powerful Spiritual Particle adhesion effect, as if a liquid-state Extraordinary Item had been mixed into Wang Qiang’s blood.
As his blood flowed, vast amounts of Spiritual Particles were drawn along with it.
These Spiritual Particles, together with the blood, surged continuously inside Wang Qiang’s body.
Blood vessels, organs, brain...
The Spiritual Particles were ceaselessly drawn into the flow.
In this process, Wang Qiang’s Physical Strength and the strength of his Sea of Consciousness were both being continuously tempered.
