The lead doctor immediately answered Lin Mo's question:
"We're in the New Kyoto Underground City."
Lin Mo: "???"
New Kyoto?
He remembered sending his body to the Arctic military base before the portal closed. How had he ended up here?
"Did something happen?" Lin Mo immediately realized something was wrong.
The doctor motioned for the others to begin examining Lin Mo, then explained,
"On the third day after the portal closed, we found that although your vital signs were stable, your consciousness showed no signs of returning."
"This had never happened before. You always switched bodies by sleeping once a day."
"And on top of that... the portal had closed, and we'd completely lost contact with the Expeditionary Force."
Lin Mo understood. No news was the worst news.
Another doctor added:
"The leadership and some of the senior officials were frantic."
"We all thought..."
The doctor did not finish, but his meaning was obvious.
The lead doctor continued:
"For safety reasons, the leadership personally ordered your transfer to New Kyoto."
"This was to ensure your absolute safety."
"At the same time... it was also to prepare for the worst."
Lin Mo was puzzled.
"What worst-case scenario?"
The doctor met his gaze and said:
"The leadership said Great Xia had to guard against one possibility."
"What if the Expeditionary Force's mission failed?"
"What if the Demon Clan obtained the portal's coordinates through some means unknown to us and launched an invasion of Blue Star from the other side..."
"So the Arctic military base has entered the highest state of combat readiness. All weapons systems have been activated and aimed at the spatial coordinates where the portal disappeared."
"If any abnormal creatures appear, the area will be subjected to indiscriminate fire."
After hearing this, Lin Mo understood.
He fully understood the decision.
