Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Lin Qi recalled the Mecha’s design schematics and said to Wang Ziru, "Arrange for a few people with strong practical skills to come lend a hand. Also, have the materials science people find any soundproofing and shock-absorbing materials in the warehouse."

This was an S-Class Ultrahigh-Frequency Acoustic Resonator, after all. Lin Qi had to be cautious when using it.

If he had more than one battery, Lin Qi would have even run a test first before deploying it in actual combat.

The Mecha’s internal structure required some major modifications.

But there wasn’t enough time to produce the materials on the fly.

Lin Qi worried that the Dragon Country authorities would act prematurely and drop a nuclear bomb on Beining District.

Upon receiving Lin Qi’s orders, Wang Ziru took action immediately.

Lin Qi had asked for a few helpers; Wang Ziru brought back a full ten.

All of them were top craftsmen from the Mo University Camp’s weapons production frontline.

They had both strong practical skills and a wealth of academic knowledge.

They not only knew what to do, but also why they were doing it.

Assistants like these would be a pleasure for Lin Qi to work with.

After arranging for the helpers, Wang Ziru found a professor from the materials science department. The professor was not young; he had survived solely due to his habit of hoarding food.

The professor was not rescued by Lin Qi, but was a survivor found by a subsequent operation team.

Along with the professor, he also brought about ten laborers.

The group headed to... the music school.

Yes, the music school.

The materials Lin Qi needed weren’t the kind you’d find stocked in a warehouse.

These were all construction materials, and most of them were already in the walls.

Under the professor’s guidance, the team began... dismantling the school.

If they dismantled the school, they’d have all the materials they needed.

In the end, with Wang Ziru coordinating everything, Lin Qi managed to completely overhaul and modify the M-Class Mecha in just four hours.

He equipped the S-Class Ultrahigh-Frequency Acoustic Resonator onto the Mecha’s arm, as far away from the cockpit as possible.

He also packed it with large amounts of soundproofing and shock-absorbing materials to minimize the impact of the recoil.

According to Lin Qi’s estimate, as long as one was inside the cockpit, a Tier One level of physical fitness would be enough to withstand the recoil from the Ultrahigh-Frequency Acoustic Resonator.

’If I weren’t worried about something unexpected happening, an unmanned operation would be the best choice. But I only have one shot at this, so I can’t waste it.’

Gazing at the brand-new Mecha, Lin Qi mused as he climbed in.

"Have Wei Yue come see me."

To deal with the Tier Three Monster in Beining District, Lin Qi needed to bring Wei Yue along.

She knew much more about Tier Three Monsters than Lin Qi did.

Soon, a fully armed squad escorted Wei Yue to his location.

Lin Qi had Wei Yue enter the cockpit.

Before departing, Lin Qi gave Wang Ziru instructions, "Before I return, if people from the Hongshan Camp come to Mo University looking for me, tell them I’ve gone to Beining District to handle some trouble."

"Also, if they mention taking action, you must stop them."

"Even if it leads to armed conflict, you must stop their operation in Beining District."

After saying this, Lin Qi thought for a moment more. "Arrange for two squads to monitor Hongshan Camp’s movements. If you see their personnel heading for Beining District, don’t hesitate—intercept them immediately."

"Even if it comes to armed conflict! I authorize you to open fire."

Lin Qi’s instructions were very detailed.

However, whether the Mo University Camp squad members would carry out Lin Qi’s will to the letter depended on Wang Ziru’s ability.

Seeing Lin Qi’s serious expression, Wang Ziru’s face immediately turned solemn.

"Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll personally lead the team to set up surveillance!"

The moment he finished speaking, Wang Ziru sprang into action.

Lin Qi watched Wang Ziru through the Mecha’s cockpit and couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration. ’A true talent...’ 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Still feeling impressed, he operated the Mecha and started down the road to Beining District.

...

Inside the Mecha, Wei Yue asked, "Blood Moon Envoy, you’re going to...?"

Lin Qi didn’t hide it. "To deal with that Tier Three Monster."

Wei Yue fell silent.

She couldn’t defy Lin Qi’s command, but that Tier Three Monster was a key part of her long-term plan to become a Blood Moon Envoy herself.

’Just watch as Lin Qi destroys the monster?’

"My Lord Blood Moon Envoy, why must you deal with that monster?" Wei Yue asked cautiously.

She knew in her heart that no matter what Lin Qi answered, she could not defy his will.

This was an ironclad rule originating from her spirit, or perhaps even her very soul.

"Because it poses a threat to me."

Lin Qi didn’t care about Wei Yue’s thoughts.

’Moon Worshipers. Just traitors to humanity.’

Lin Qi was only keeping Wei Yue alive to obtain more information about the Extraordinary Side from her.

Wei Yue fell silent again.

’A threat?’

’What kind of threat?’

’The threat of a new Blood Moon Envoy emerging?’

That was all Wei Yue could think of, but she was powerless to resist, unable to even go against any of Lin Qi’s demands.

Lin Qi wasn’t looking at Wei Yue’s expression; he was just focused on piloting the Mecha.

But through his Spiritual Vision, he observed every detail of her micro-expressions.

Lin Qi could confirm that this woman surprisingly had not the slightest will to resist.

’Is this the suppression Wizard’s Spiritual Power has over Moon Worshipers? No, that’s not right. It’s suppression over the first-generation Moon Worshipers.’

’Aside from Wei Yue, the other six aren’t this ridiculously loyal.’

Lin Qi gleaned a lot of information from his observation, but his expression didn’t change in the slightest.

’In that case, this makes my actions even more convenient.’

Lin Qi wasn’t the least bit displeased by this; he even felt a little like laughing.

Lin Qi drew closer and closer to Beining District.

Just as he was about three hundred meters from the edge of Beining District, Lin Qi’s expression suddenly changed.

Within the range of his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi saw a vehicle.

A vehicle belonging to the Hongshan Camp.

A vehicle carrying a nuclear warhead!

’Hongshan Camp is making their move? The time Ding Yang promised hasn’t passed yet.’ Lin Qi’s expression turned grim.

’Good thing I was fast enough. If I’d been just one hour, or even half an hour, slower, this nuke might have already been detonated.’

By then, the radiation levels throughout the entire Mo University Camp would be off the charts.

If Lin Qi wanted to remedy the situation, he would have to pay a much greater price.

Without hesitation, the Mecha accelerated, directly intercepting the vehicle’s path.

...

Inside the Hongshan Camp’s jeep.

Several people in camouflage uniforms also had grim expressions.

"Coach Wu, this probably isn’t a good idea. Director Ding explicitly told us to wait at the camp for news and decide tomorrow at the earliest."

The middle-aged man called Coach Wu paid no mind to these words.

"What do you people know? Have you ever seen the horror of a Tier Four Monster?"

"Ding Yang? He’s a joke!"

"Pinning his hopes on some college student? Did he get his brains kicked in by a donkey? Or eaten by a Zombie?"

"What if that college kid messes up and causes the Tier Three Monster to evolve instead? Who’s going to take responsibility for that? You? Or you?"

"I’m from Headquarters! My orders take the highest priority!"

"Hurry up and blow that Tier Three Monster to bits! Nipping the danger in the bud—that’s the right call!"

Coach Wu had a square face and an air of righteousness.

He didn’t believe a word of Ding Yang’s bullshit.

’Expecting a college student to handle a Tier Three Monster that’s highly likely to evolve into a Tier Four?’

’That’s gambling with the safety of all of Modu!’

He was from Headquarters, he had witnessed the tragedy of a Tier Four Monster’s birth, and he would absolutely not tolerate a repeat of that tragedy in Modu.

Just as Coach Wu was lost in his own world, thinking he’d rather be condemned than fail to act, the roar of a Mecha suddenly erupted.

"What’s going on? What happened?"

"Did the monster evolve ahead of schedule?"

Coach Wu craned his head toward the front of the vehicle and looked ahead.

Right in front of them, a towering Mecha had become a roadblock, completely blocking the middle of the road.

Coach Wu was stunned.

’What am I seeing?’

’A Mecha?’

’There’s really a Mecha?’

’Ding Yang wasn’t lying?’

"Halt. I will handle the Tier Three Monster in Beining District. Please take your nuclear bomb and return to Hongshan Camp."

Lin Qi’s tone was still relatively courteous.

Through his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi had overheard their conversation and understood that it wasn’t Ding Yang who had broken his promise.
