Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 379 No. 1

"So you mean to say that the planet's signals are being blocked by some unknown force?"

Lin Xuan rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

“That’s right, Captain White, we’ve been trying to contact you, but the message shows it was sent, but you didn’t receive it at all. Look… hey?”

Su Zilin sent a message to Lin Xuan, wanting to prove the strange phenomenon they had seen before, but the next second, Lin Xuan received a message that the previously blocked communication had been restored.

"This……"

Su Zilin was stunned, and she quickly explained.

"Team Leader Bai, we were indeed unable to send the message before, we..."

Lin Xuan waved her hand to indicate that she understood, then turned to look at Lin Qi, who was testing network data to the side.

The messages that hadn't been received before suddenly came flooding out all at once.

"Team White, this is indeed a bit strange. The network seems to be working normally again, just like the previous one-way blocking was just a simple network lag."

"Could it be that the municipal district temporarily activated the jammers because of our attack?" Veteran Ding Cunxu suggested the most likely hypothesis, but Lin Qi immediately dismissed the possibility.

"No, the probability is not high. The internal network of the Divine Realm is transmitted directly via satellite. Even if the jammer is turned on, it should show that the message cannot be sent, not that the message is sent but there is a delay and lag like this."

"The problem lies at the receiving end... no, that's not accurate. It's more like there's a problem with the channel; the information... seems to be swallowed up by something."

The principle of communication, simply put, is that the sending end transmits information to the receiving end through a channel. If the sending end sends information to the channel, but the channel suddenly disconnects, the receiving end device will not be able to receive the information, and the sending end will still show that the message has been successfully sent.

But how is this possible?

Unless the satellites of the divine realm have been hacked, but they tried various methods to send information but none of them could be sent out, it can't be that they were all hacked.

"Should I infiltrate the municipal area again to investigate? Perhaps the jammer's coverage only works there."

Zuo Xiao, who was resting with her eyes closed on the sofa, suddenly spoke up. Usually, at times like this, it was necessary for her, an expert in infiltration and decapitation, to step in.

But Lin Xuan shook her head.

“Something’s not right, Lynch. Contact the nearest starport and let’s head back.”

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback, not expecting Lin Xuan to suddenly suggest leaving at this moment.

"This... Team White, we've finally managed to gain some ground here, wouldn't it be a shame to give up now?"

Su Zilin felt a little sorry for them. The Spark Organization seemed to have become much more united since Lin Xuan and their arrival, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

This is something that even people from different civilizations can empathize with.

If they choose to leave now, the conflict between Simothers and the other three will still exist. In addition, if Mechanical Earth becomes available later, it may purge the organization. At that time, it is uncertain whether the Starfire organization will still exist.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, but glanced at Lin Qi. The latter knew that Lin Xuan was determined to leave, so he quickly began to contact suitable ports.

This decision is perfectly justifiable and is aimed at protecting their lives.

Just like in a horror movie, when you realize that the house might be haunted, your best option is not to investigate the source of the haunting, but to leave without hesitation.

Lin Xuan was never arrogant. He would never take the initiative to try things he was not sure about. Just like when he first transmigrated to this world, he never thought about changing the plot to replace Luo Ji. Instead, he wanted the plot to continue to develop along its original trajectory and create a butterfly effect that would benefit him.

The same applies now. He dares to go to the mechanical Earth alone not only because he is strong enough, but also because Number Three is there to back him up.

As long as everything is still within his plan, there's nothing to worry about.

"Team White, it's all arranged. A cargo ship returning to Mind Earth is on board. They'll set sail around 8 a.m. tomorrow. We can just hitch a ride at South Port."

Lin Qi finished quickly, but Lin Xuan shook her head.

"Ask them if we can set sail tonight if we pay extra."

Lin Qi was taken aback.

"Are you so anxious?"

"Okay, I'll try asking."

But just as Lynch was about to ask, a government notice from Revelation III surprised everyone.

"Attention: The observatory issued a red alert at 18:00 today, detecting that the planned orbit of Revelation III is about to pass through a large number of asteroid belts. Therefore, the city hall has decided to temporarily close all starports. The specific reopening time will be announced later. Please stay at home and do not go out unnecessarily."

"This……"

"What a coincidence?"

Su Zilin was somewhat incredulous. Just a second ago they were saying they were preparing to leave this planet, and the next second, the starport was shut down.

Is this a coincidence, or is someone deliberately preventing them from leaving?

"Captain White, it seems your guess was correct; someone is indeed watching us."

The veteran lit a cigarette, took a puff, glanced at Su Zilin who was barely as tall as his shoulder, and then went to the bathroom.

Before leaving, he gave him some instructions.

"Let's report the situation here to the Divine Realm first. The Seventh Squad should still be on this planet. Let's see if that woman Fang Lin can arrange an evacuation transport ship for us."

But Lin Qi, sitting in front of the computer, didn't look too good.

"Team White, look, that weird signal jamming has reappeared."

He showed the screen to Lin Xuan, and as before, the message had been sent to the people at the Divine Realm Dispatch Station, but there was no response from them.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath. For some reason, a sense of crisis welled up in his heart. He had a feeling that he and the others... no, only himself, were being watched by something.

If I'm not mistaken, there's only one thing that could give him such a strong sense of crisis.

Number one!

All the strange phenomena they are facing now seem to be the work of Number One.

There was just one thing he couldn't understand: since Number One already knew of his existence, why didn't he just kill him directly?

"Does that mean observers don't even have the authority to kill people directly?" Lin Xuan scratched her head.

Whatever, I've done all the things I'm not allowed to do anyway, so whatever.

If Number One really can't make a move, then don't blame me for taking a dump on your neck.
