Doomsday Club

Are we saving the world?

Xu Nuo paused for a moment, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao in front of her, whose face was flushed with excitement.

In a daze, I thought of the apocalypse I would see twenty years from now.

ruins.

Yellow sand.

People who live like rats in the end times.

People are hostile to each other, and there is no even the most basic trust.

That kind of world is too despairing; it's supposed to be the future, but you can't see it at all.

This sense of despair can only be truly understood by those who have actually lived in that apocalyptic world.

Xu Nuo turned her head and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside the window. Couples were walking past the coffee shop hand in hand, chatting and laughing.

He changed his mind.

Survive the apocalypse? No! He's going to save the world!

Investigating the truth behind the apocalypse will inevitably attract the attention of the mysterious world-destroying organization.

They are naturally in an adversarial relationship.

If that's the case, why not go all out?

It's not about surviving the apocalypse, but about preventing the other side from destroying the world.

Now that we have the "golden touch" in our hands, wouldn't it be a waste not to make a big splash?

With these thoughts in mind, everything became clear.

Now that the decision has been made to stop the other party from destroying the world, he has even less time left.

Not only do they need to acquire new materials that can block the world-destroying white light, but they also need to investigate Lin Xiaoxiao's father's company and try to make contact with the "world-destroying organization" in the real timeline.

The other party is secretly operating in the real timeline, plotting a notorious plan to destroy the world.

God knows just how powerful these guys really are, and what kind of energy they possess.

And myself...

He glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao across from him—it was just the two of them.

Fortunately, Xu Nuo wasn't without advantages. With time travel as their trump card, they weren't without a chance of winning.

"Brother Xu Nuo! You truly deserve to be my favorite author!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, her eyes sparkling, suddenly exclaimed, "This story is really super interesting!"

She asked, "Will you include me in the book later? Will that be part of the story?"

As he said this, he raised his phone.

He revealed his identity as the administrator of the alliance group.

With his hands clasped together, he pleaded, "Please, give me a cameo role."

As a die-hard fan of Xu Nuo, Lin Xiaoxiao was well-versed in the novel's plot and background setting.

So as soon as Xu Nuo opened her mouth, she could already tell that this was the apocalyptic world view from the book.

At this moment, she was in a very good mood, thinking that her author was tailoring a character in the book just for her.

Even the bizarre dream she had last night was now attributed to her "daytime thoughts after reading too many novels."

Wow, the case is solved.

Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, clearly surprised that things had turned out this way.

No wonder Lin Xiaoxiao, this rich heiress, suddenly agreed to this "blind date" and readily agreed to meet privately.

It turns out they already knew me, and had even opened the box.

He thought of Wu Tian and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Lin Xiaoxiao probably found out about her identity because this guy was too talkative.

"Haha, of course you can."

Xu Nuo smoothly continued the conversation, naturally treating all the previous conversations as "stories" he had made up on the spot.

It's not a big problem; his original target wasn't "Lin Xiaoxiao" in this timeline anyway.

Everything that needed to be said has been said.

The uncertain future of the superposition state has collapsed into a given fact with this meeting.

In other words, no matter what, Lin Xiaoxiao will remember the conversation from this meeting twenty years later.

At the time of parting.

Xu Nuo gave Lin Xiaoxiao a meaningful look.

Even if the future had not yet unfolded, this conversation would have left a deep impression on Lin Xiaoxiao twenty years later.

It will never be another minor character that leaves a vague impression, like last time.

It's okay if you don't believe it now; you'll naturally believe it when the end of the world comes in twenty years.

See you later then.

Goodbye, Brother Xu Nuo.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think much of it and assumed that "see you later" meant they would chat in the group later.

He waved and watched Lin Xiaoxiao get into the car and leave.

He should go back now and see Lin Xiaoxiao twenty years from now.

[320 Days Until Doomsday]

As her consciousness faded, Xu Nuo opened her eyes again and returned to that abandoned technology company.

The enormous hourglass-shaped logo stood close at hand, silently welcoming this visitor from twenty years ago.

……

……

……

"Promise!!!"

in the dark.

When Xu Nuo took off his dust mask, Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated, and even her voice became sharp with emotion.

"I've been looking for you for twenty years!"

"Long time no see, Lin Xiaoxiao."

Seeing her reaction, Xu Nuo smiled with relief and said...

This time, I finally don't need to introduce myself.

He said, "Tell me, what has happened in the last twenty years?"

It was still the familiar basement.

Lin Xiaoxiao had calmed down by now and was marveling at the twenty-year-old version of Xu Nuo in front of her.

"I never imagined that what you said back then was actually true."

Her tone was tinged with regret: "I thought back then that was just a story you made up."

Looking back now, I realize how incredibly naive I was when I was young.

He had promised to tell her everything twenty years ago, but she only realized what was happening when disaster struck.

If she had believed and acted sooner, could she have truly prevented the disaster? Would those she cared about have survived?

In an instant, a strong sense of self-reproach welled up in my heart.

Therefore, after the disaster, Lin Xiaoxiao frantically investigated the truth of the apocalypse while frantically searching the world for Xu Nuo's whereabouts.

But in the end, nothing was found; the person seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.

Even today, the promise made twenty years ago has suddenly appeared before her in such an unbelievable way, with an appearance and demeanor exactly the same as she remembered.

"It's not a big problem."

Xu Nuo waved his hand: "Those words were originally meant for you as you are now."

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned, clearly not expecting such an answer.

"What does this mean?"

"Because I need you." Xu Nuo paused, then emphasized again, "I need you now, the one who has experienced everything and knows the truth."

But what's the use?

They are all gone.

"It's...too late." Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with loneliness and self-blame.

"Do you remember the rules I told you before?"

Xu Nuo raised her hand, signaling her not to be emo.

"In my timeline, none of this has happened yet."

"Just like when I first found you, you didn't know me at all. The last time we met, I was just an insignificant passerby."

"But now, you 'know' me, and you've been searching for me for 'twenty years'."

Xu Nuo explained his understanding of the rules of time in the simplest and most understandable way possible.

He came from twenty years ago.

The future can be changed; nothing has happened yet.

Do you remember what you asked me that day?

He raised his head, looked directly into Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, and gave the answer that was twenty years overdue:

"That's right, we are saving the world."
