Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 266 Rescue of Kolova

A cold wind blew across the mountaintop, swirling up large snowflakes that drifted freely among the mountains.

Inside the hollowed-out mountain, Bai Yuekui sat alone in the house, wearing a white plush rabbit pajama that the villagers had never seen before.

She was wearing a hat, and two long pink ears hung down on either side of her cheeks, making her face look even softer.

This set of pajamas was hand-washed by Bai Yuetian and delivered; it still smells of soap.

Bai Yuekui did not refuse this kindness.

She hadn't worn such soft and comfortable clothes in a long time. Even though she was sitting, she felt like she was lying on a soft bed, wrapped in a plush quilt, as if she were floating in a cloud.

"Ugh."

Bai Yuekui grabbed his two rabbit ears and sighed softly.

"So complicated."

At night, emotions surge.

Bai Yuekui began to experience emotions that he didn't have during the day.

"I had pinned all my hopes on Mark, but now it seems he's no use. Luckily, Ash's digital doppelganger helped me and brought the people from the Lighthouse to the ground."

Bai Yuekui pondered.

"Interference of Earth by higher-dimensional beings is periodic, occurring only once every few decades."

"Once the next intervention period is over, relying on ASH's capabilities, we should be able to restore some of the old world's industrial capacity. At that time, we can build some aerial platforms to avoid the geological movements of the next intervention period."

Bai Yuekui twirled the pen in his hand.

Just as she told Bai Yuetian, she had nothing but time.

She can endure cycle after cycle, even if she only accumulates a little bit in each cycle. In the long, infinite time, she can always rebuild human civilization, and the new human civilization will inevitably be more brilliant than the old world.

With ASH, this process will be shortened indefinitely.

Unfortunately, ASH is just a digital clone, not its original form.

There is indeed an ASH entity here, but it has been infected by the Mana ecosystem and is not trustworthy. Not only does the information obtained last time need to be repeatedly studied to determine its credibility, but the same applies to restarting dialogue in the future.

Trust is the most important thing in the apocalypse.

Without trust, there is nothing.

"No matter what," Bai Yuekui muttered to himself, "I will win, we will all win."

She looked up.

The gaze seemed to pierce through the walls and fall into the lake of Dragonbone Village.

"The time-space portal is still not open, and I'm worried it may never open," Bai Jingyu said slowly, looking at the empty balcony with a dejected expression.

Bai Yuetian, now fully cybernetically enhanced, stood beside Bai Jingyu.

He had only one brain; the rest of his body was made of machine parts. But at that moment, he felt a deep, visceral discomfort.

But he couldn't say anything.

He lost his sister, but Bai Jingyu also lost his son.

They were both suffering greatly.

"Are you sure?" Bai Yuetian asked.

Bai Jingyu shook his head: "I know nothing about time-space channels. I hope it's just a minor problem."

The parallel universe theory is a jewel suspended in contemporary physics. Every physicist and even ordinary people can see this shining jewel, but there is no ladder to connect this jewel with this era.

This is a moon that can't be touched.

Bai Jingyu stared at the flat balcony for a long time, hoping to see a different view after blinking, but he didn't see it until his eyes were dry. "The rescue plan for Kolova has been finalized. This time, I need your participation."

Bai Jingyu spoke slowly.

There's no use in him worrying about the time-space tunnel; after all, he doesn't even know why it was opened in the first place.

But the matter of Kolova was already urgent.

"Kolova successfully completed her mission, blowing up the nuclear facilities on Loki and averting the nuclear crisis in Hisakawa."

Bai Jingyu paused for a moment: "After that, Kolova lost contact."

"But since then, various facilities on Loki have started to malfunction. At first, we couldn't be sure that it was caused by Kolova, because destroying nuclear facilities could also have some chain reactions."

"But today we observed Kolova."

White lasers intertwine to form a photograph.

In the photo, a human hand suddenly extends from the ground in a corner of Loki's outer shell.

Upon closer inspection, a pool of unidentified liquid can be seen below the person's hand.

Without a doubt, this is Kolova.

Kolova is still alive!

"Not only is Kolova alive, but she has also caused considerable trouble for Loki these past few days. In particular, yesterday, she directly paralyzed Loki's main power system, causing Loki's movement speed to drop significantly."

"Under the interception of the swifts, Loki's initial velocity has been completely exhausted, and it is now hovering motionless in space."

Bai Jingyu explained the current situation to Bai Yuetian: "ASH has completely mastered SITA's algorithm and has destroyed more than 200,000 drones on Loki in the past few days. The existing drones can no longer provide Loki with a comprehensive defense."

"in other words."

"We can send anyone to Loki to complete the mission of rescuing Kolova."

Bai Yuetian frowned slightly.

He said worriedly, "Since Kolova is still alive, we must rescue her. But there is a problem: Kolova is able to move around so well on Loki because of her special source potential."

"If anyone else goes to Loki, they'll probably be locked on before they even land. Not only will they be unable to save anyone, they'll also get themselves killed."

Bai Jingyu nodded.

He replied, "That's what I was worried about too, so I decided to send you instead of someone else."

"Your prosthetic body will allow you to move at speeds beyond human reaction time. I will prepare a small hacking device for you. ASH will set up a mobile signal station on the periphery. Once you bring the hacking device into Loki, ASH can attempt to take over Loki. The whole process will take about five minutes."

"As long as we can control Loki, you and Kolova will be able to return home safely."

Bai Yuetian nodded without hesitation: "I am willing to participate in the mission. Kolova was brought from Dragon Bone Village by Yue Kui and me. Everyone in the village must be present when the time portal opens next time, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Yue Kui."

Bai Jingyu nodded: "Delay will only cause problems. The mission time is set for half an hour. Go and prepare quickly."

Half an hour——

Bai Yuetian boarded the swift.

This is a modified Swift, which significantly enhances the space maneuverability and combat capabilities of the original Swift and is currently in mass production.

The White Moon Sky model uses more robust materials; its outer shell, stealth coating, and engine are all top-of-the-line.

"come on."

"Bring Kolova back."

Bai Jingyu waved to Bai Yuetian's retreating figure, his eyes filled with encouragement.
