Chapter 320 is definitely not because they think we're useless.
The time goes back to one hour ago.
"Welcome, Liu Ding, employee number 7484. This month, you have clocked in for 29 days and been absent for 0 days. Based on your outstanding performance this month, we are awarding you the 'Outstanding Employee Award'."
With a roar from the machine, a piece of paper was ejected from the gap.
Lin Xuan picked it up and took a look.
"For locksmith services, please contact..."
Seemingly realizing something was wrong, Lin Xuan flipped the note over.
"Liu Ding, the employee of the month, is hereby awarded a certificate."
OK OK...
You mechanical Earth, that's so capitalist.
Damn it, even the certificates of merit given to employees are made from advertisements.
Don't be too outrageous.
After putting Liu Ding's ID card back in her pocket, Lin Xuan walked openly into the office area.
Strangely enough, this work area didn't have any security system at all; you could just swipe your ID card to get in.
So, just to improve work efficiency, you're not even willing to install a facial recognition device?
However, this actually made things convenient for him.
According to his calculations, only nine nodes on this aircraft carrier are actually critical, but Lin Xuan does not intend to blow up all nine nodes.
Destroying three of them would be enough to cripple this aircraft carrier in a short period of time.
If six are destroyed, the main control unit of this aircraft carrier will be affected to some extent.
If all nine control consoles were destroyed, the consequences would be too severe and would not meet Lin Xuan's plan requirements.
Therefore, he only needs to disable three of the control consoles at a critical moment. In this way, the relationship between Starfire and the government forces will not become too strained, and the two sides will be unable to form a cooperative relationship and will have no choice but to go to war. He only needs to cooperate and give a speech, and everything will proceed smoothly according to his plan.
Instead of trying to persuade the four leaders of Spark to join him, he might as well force them to be on the same boat.
Before boarding the ship, he had already told the members of Squad 13 his entire plan. Judging from the timeline, they should have already succeeded.
……
"What? The White Team went to bomb the aircraft carrier?"
When Lynch heard the news, he was almost speechless with shock.
Su Zilin, standing to the side, also stared in disbelief at the message transmitted through the communicator.
"Yes, he wants us to hack into the planet's broadcasting system in an hour and broadcast the news of the aircraft carrier attack to give Starfire a boost."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"Although this plan sounds a bit outrageous, when I think about the fact that it was White Team's idea, for some reason I feel that it makes some sense."
Zuo Xiao's words were unanimously approved by everyone present.
But thinking about it, the White Team's speed is a bit too fast. They have only been separated from the other side for less than 4 hours, and the White Team is already considering bombing the aircraft carrier.
The veteran lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"No wonder this kid wanted to separate from us before; he had already anticipated that things wouldn't go smoothly for us."
Following Lin Xuan's instructions, the members of Squad 13 went to investigate the matter of Felix being taken away by the city defense forces.
However, the more they investigated, the more suspicious they became.
It was as if the other party wasn't targeting Xinghuo, but rather them.
The entire investigation process was fraught with setbacks, and the most absurd thing was that the red light on the street turned green very few times.
After the entire trip, they all had the same feeling.
An invisible hand has been orchestrating all of this. Although the group has no substantial evidence to prove that they are being watched, their investigation is progressing at an unusually slow pace.
It's no wonder that Team White chose to split into two groups. If they had continued to investigate with us, they probably would have ended up with nothing, just like now.
How can I describe this feeling? It's like The Truman Show. The members of Squad 13 are now like Truman trying to escape from here, and everything around them is trying to stop their escape.
There were at least a dozen random and unexpected accidents along the way.
Although they were not involved in any of the accidents, these incidents all had one thing in common: they infinitely prolonged their investigation time.
But now, things have taken a new turn.
The White Team changed their mission instructions; perhaps from the beginning, they never intended to meet Felix.
Or to put it another way: the so-called arrest of Felix was just someone trying to delay them.
Once the members of Squad 13 understood everything, they suddenly felt enlightened.
They didn't know who this enemy hiding in the shadows was, but it seemed that the struggle between the two sides had already begun silently.
"As expected of Captain White, he saw through the trap early on and chose to walk right into the mental trap set by the opponent!"
Su Zilin took two sips of the milk tea in his arms before slowly raising his hand.
"I have a question."
"If Captain White had already realized that finding Felix was a trap set for us, why didn't he tell us and instead went off on his own?"
This question immediately silenced everyone present.
After a long silence, Lin Qi finally broke it with his words.
"Maybe he's using us to mislead the other side, hmm... that's definitely it, he's not saying we're useless!"
……
"Password correct. Welcome to the console. I am the ship's AI. How can I help you?"
Lin Xuan looked at the intelligent AI floating in mid-air in front of her and couldn't help but poke it with her finger.
"Tsk tsk, a 13th generation holographic chip, what a treasure! This mechanical Earth is truly rolling in wealth."
He hadn't forgotten that when he was in the Divine Realm, Tian E, the vice-captain of the 7th Task Force, had given him a side quest to help him copy a copy of the AI data for the aircraft carrier Lord Avent.
I might as well get this done now, it won't take long anyway.
But Lin Xuan probably didn't expect that this short delay would cause such an unpredictable reversal to his subsequent plans.
"Boom!"
The floor beneath her feet suddenly began to tremble. Lin Xuan frowned slightly and looked up.
At the same time, a broadcast sounded above his head.
"Breaking military situation. All personnel on board, please note that the aircraft carrier is about to set sail for the front line. Non-military units on the ship, please proceed to decks 6 and 7 to await further instructions. Staff will guide you to your designated locations shortly."
The announcement was broadcast three times in a row, and everyone on the Royal Avent was mobilized.
No one probably expected that this aircraft carrier, which had been docked on the front line of the Xialang for seven years without moving, would be suddenly activated today.
Moreover, the emergency was urgent, and there wasn't even time to evacuate the tourists on the spaceship before they were taken directly to the front lines.
This is enough to leave everyone on the ship completely bewildered.
It's like going on a trip and buying a ticket to experience driving a tank, only to find yourself completely bewildered when the guy next to you starts firing AKs.
Lin Xuan was more flustered than the others.
Because he had already set the bomb's detonation time to be half an hour later.
I originally thought that I had already withdrawn from the aircraft carrier by then, so even if the ship was paralyzed, it wouldn't be a big problem.
But... who knew he'd suddenly activate it!
