The Special Affairs Office team had weathered their share of storms. What hadn't they experienced?
Even the strangest incidents seemed like nothing special to them.
But now, every one of them was stunned.
Li Xin opened his mouth. Only after a long while did he ask, "What does that mean?"
He was bewildered, instinctively looking at Sheng An, then at his uncle. He didn't quite understand, and he doubted his own interpretation.
Song Linwei's voice was strained. "The Southwest Region is already in the third year of Doomsday."
Long Tianyu stared hard at Miao Yuan, enunciating every word. "We still need to figure out which third year..."
There were several possibilities-
First, they were inside an illusion.
Second, something was wrong with Miao Yuan and the others, or with their memories.
Third, if everything was true, they still had to determine which third year this was!
The third year of their current lifetime, or the third year of Long Tianyu and the others' previous lives?
After all, Long Tianyu's and Li Wanyun's memories had both cut off abruptly at the end of the second year. They had to consider multiple factors when analyzing the situation.
Hao Jingye cursed under his breath.
The Research Institute's earlier thinking hadn't been wrong. Their investigation into why the Reborn's memories "assumed they died in the second year" could wait until the team returned from the southwest.
The problem was that they had encountered a "third year" in the southwest!
Whichever third year this was, having more information would have given them more to work with in analyzing their current situation.
They should have pressed for answers back then!
But it was already too late. Now that they had entered the southwest's communications blackout zone, they had no way to contact the country.
Go back?
