Hours later, an explosion?

Was this targeting me?

Lin Qi quickly made a judgment.

He was the only sensitive individual residing in this area.

Si Ying's spreading of false information had finally taken effect.

"Will the Liu Clan and Si Clan get this intel?"

Lin Qi was a bit puzzled. Could an explosion, akin to a terrorist attack, in the heart of Greenland City truly be kept from the two major corporations?

That was a question mark.

Especially since the Liu Clan had already added more security measures for themselves.

The floor Lin Qi was on was almost entirely occupied by people from the Liu Clan.

There were three individuals alone who were A-level Cybernetic Body implant recipients, their combat power comparable to a Tier 3 fighter.

"I can only wait and see. Even if there is an explosion, the power can't be too exaggerated. The amount of explosives needed couldn't be hidden from the two major corporations."

"But the explosion is just a smokescreen. The real method might be an assassination targeting me."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi got a headache.

Si Ying, that person truly deserves to die.

As a designated scapegoat by the Si Clan, instead of obediently taking the heat, he was dragging others down with him.

He had no awareness of being a target at all.

"Things have come to this, I must find a way to escape."

"Contact Liu Xuan? My source of information is Arthur, I absolutely cannot expose him. I can't even proactively inform anyone from the Liu Clan that I have intel about an assassination tonight."

It was a bit of a headache, but Lin Qi didn't feel a great sense of crisis.

As long as the attackers weren't extraordinary professionals and no S-level individuals were involved, Lin Qi was confident in guaranteeing his safety.

The security forces arranged by the Liu Clan were not just for show; Lin Qi wouldn't need to personally face them head-on.

"For now, I'll trust the Liu Clan's security forces and intelligence system. At the same time, I need to maintain my Psychic Vision state at all times."

"If any accident occurs, I must respond proactively at the first moment."

Lin Qi summarized his current situation.

He was in the eye of the storm, with some danger, but the danger was controllable, not a desperate situation.

The security force around Lin Qi now was no less than that of a true Liu Clan heir.

The only difference was that he was in the open, while Liu Xuan and Liu Li were hidden.

If he couldn't survive under these security conditions, then the heirs of the Liu Clan and Si Clan might as well not live either; they would be finished sooner or later.

Suddenly, Lin Qi realized something: "Crap, I seem to have become the target."

His identity had undergone some unexpected changes.

But the entire incident was caused by that lunatic Si Ying.

"I must find a way to kill him."

Lin Qi pondered and came up with a brilliant method of revenge.

However, revenge still required him to survive tonight's crisis, and it would also require the help of Guangleng, Capitalist, and even Master Ma.

Through the AI, Lin Qi drafted another email and sent it to the highest-level secure mailbox.

[I need help, requesting a temporary meeting on Sunday]

The meetings this week had been slightly frequent, held almost every other day.

If the current temporary request was included, there would have been four meetings held this week, reaching a peak since the Mercenary Group was established.

After a few minutes, Guangleng had not yet replied.

However, Arthur sent a message through his wristband.

[You applied for a temporary meeting on Sunday?]

Before Guangleng held a temporary meeting, he would inquire about the opinions of others in advance.

Only after passing would the temporary meeting be initiated.

[I need some help from forces outside Greenland City]

Lin Qi replied to Arthur.

This matter was not suitable for Arthur, who was located within Greenland City, to execute.

It wasn't an issue of efficiency, but rather that if he were exposed, he would directly face the full pursuit of the Si and Liu families.

Arthur did not reply again, but a minute later, Lin Qi received an email from Guangleng.

The request for a temporary meeting had been approved, and the meeting would be held at midnight on Sunday.

Lin Qi put away the bracelet and placed it back into the weapon slot for the Short Tang Dao. He then took out the Short Tang Dao, holding it in his hand.

Tonight might be dangerous, so Lin Qi wasn't planning on returning his weapon to its slot.

He turned on the faucet in the washroom and splashed some water on his face to stay focused.

Psychic Vision would be maintained from this moment on, constantly observing for any potential dangers.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Lin Qi wasn't sure if the explosion Arthur mentioned would happen, or when it would occur.

Time reached March 5th, 2089, 00:55. The cooldown for the Door was complete, and Lin Qi could travel to the apocalyptic world at any moment.

He hesitated for two seconds. Should he wait a little longer, enter after the potential explosion occurred? This way, he could utilize the 24-hour buffer to better devise a plan.

After a mere two-second hesitation, Lin Qi unhesitatingly used the Door to travel to the apocalyptic world.

The reason was simple: the explosion might not actually happen, so there was no need to waste the Door's cooldown time.

Moreover, even if danger arose, the 24 hours of thinking time wouldn't change much.

It was better to head to the apocalyptic world sooner and try other methods to become stronger.

Even just meditating for 24 hours could significantly boost his mental strength and expand the coverage of Psychic Vision.

In the apocalyptic world, inside a room exclusively for Lin Qi.

Lin Qi returned here wearing clothes from the Cyber World, or rather, it was as if he had never left.

He took off his clothes and changed into a shirt bearing the logo of "Magic University Robot Combat" before leaving the room.

The sixth floor of the club activity building was filled with survivors, a considerable number of whom were still resting in the corridors.

In the adjacent experimental workshop, someone seemed to have heard the sound of Lin Qi opening the Door.

A figure quickly emerged.

It wasn't Xia Chu, but Wang Ziru.

"Boss, are you rested?"

With a smile on his face, Wang Ziru had preliminarily arranged the work content for the science and engineering survivors while Lin Qi was analyzing the Extraordinary Item.

At this moment, he was eagerly coming forward to report his work results.

Lin Qi nodded, his gaze passing over Wang Ziru to look at Xia Chu, who had emerged a step later and whom Lin Qi had assigned to monitor Wang Ziru's actions.

Seeing Lin Qi's gaze, Wang Ziru immediately understood.

His work didn't need a report; this "sister-in-law" would explain everything.

"Boss, I won't disturb you and sister-in-law's chat. There's still work in the workshop that I need to arrange."

Wang Ziru came and left quickly, not even waiting for any response from Lin Qi.

Lin Qi watched Wang Ziru's retreating figure with great satisfaction.

No wonder this person could secure a management position in such a large company at such a young age; there were reasons for everything.

His gaze returned to Xia Chu, who, as Wang Ziru had predicted, spoke to Lin Qi.

"He's doing a great job. He has rich management experience, and he's utilizing the blueprints you provided very well. Talents from various departments have been assigned temporary tasks..."
