(Seventeen·Vitality)
"These lunatics!"
Anichi Aozawa seemed to be possessed by his boss Akei, gritting his teeth and cursing - it was no longer a condescending moral criticism, because he himself had already been involved in dire straits.
The progress bar of the self-destruction program lasted only a few minutes, and it was impossible for the personnel in such a large fortress to evacuate completely. Obviously, the unimportant "own people" have also become abandoned.
All energy pipes connecting the central control room come alive. At the end of the pipeline, there are an unknown number of micro-pulse bombs buried under the ground of the energy storage center in the central control room. As long as one is ignited, fire and shock waves will spread along the energy pipes to every part of the building, burning the strong fortress to the ground.
There is no doubt that hundreds of "experimental subjects", captured innocent people, and important evidence in the fortress will be burned to ashes. No, there is no need to even think that far - before that, they, who were locked in the core area and unable to escape, would bear the brunt of the big explosion together with the rescue targets.
Their guess was not wrong. Gao Shengjia Fengshou is indeed a "reverse scale" - the evil dragon would rather cut off one of his own wings to avoid future troubles.
The door to the central control room slowly opened due to violent hacking. Countless cold mechanical and electronic equipment are arranged inside, and the dense energy transmission pipelines are filled with blood-colored light, which dazzles people's eyes for a while.
Qingze rushed forward in confusion, as if he wanted to use his feet to span the dozens of meters in diameter of the central control room and reach the other end to open the door for his teammates. Just after taking two steps, a familiar voice suddenly sounded vaguely amidst the rustling sound of electricity.
"Hey, just stand there and don't move. Why are you panicking?"
As if his eyes had been opened, Chiwei's voice came out leisurely, still carrying a very personal hoarseness and laziness.
"Don't get too excited. Have you forgotten our informant's report?"
After the words fell, the door on the opposite side suddenly rose, revealing the appearance of the three people who had just separated.
Their combat uniforms were stained with dust and blood, and they had obviously just experienced a fierce battle. The police chief standing behind the team leader threw away the person he was holding as if throwing away garbage, and threw away the ID card used to open the door.
"The new branch chief of the fortress, I saw him on the road and grabbed him." He said lightly, as if he was picking up a radish in the field. He strode quickly to find a nearby computer and swiped the card up.
"The branch chief has the highest authority. Whether it is self-destruction or self-destruction, it should be stopped, right?"
(Eighteen·Lies)
The bright red countdown is still beating.
Chiwei's expression gradually changed from calm to stunned. He looked at the unauthorized prompt that popped up on the screen, as if he thought of something, his face suddenly became ugly.
"That bastard is bluffing me!!"
(Nineteen · Search)
Whether the informant betrayed the Ministry of Public Security or was simply deceived by a cunning enemy, it no longer matters.
The intelligence obtained by hacking into the security system clearly showed that the highest authority of the fortress was not handed over two weeks ago, and the so-called new branch chief was just a cover.
The failure of life-saving means did not seem to move Investigator Shenyu. He looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Qingze, can you hack the self-destruct program through the main console?"
"I'll give it a try," the public security investigator said through gritted teeth.
The three-person team at the south end stopped shouting in the air and rushed to the central high platform - the main console of the entire fortress was located on it. Nishihori, who was running at the front, cautiously opened his energy shield and was about to step onto the stairs when Aozawa's urgent shout suddenly came from behind him.
Nishihori didn't even realize what his teammates said before he was violently knocked away by a force. A buzzing sound suddenly exploded in his ears, almost like the roar of some monster, which made Nishihori's hair stand up instinctively.
Hot blood splattered on his helmet. Nishihori turned around and looked, and was immediately frightened to death, "Senior Xingyu!!"
The fact that the shoulder blade was pierced by the laser did not affect the movements of Investigator Xingyu. As if she felt no pain, she grabbed Nishihori's collar before the second frightening buzz and jumped back. The power of the waveguide burst out with blue light under her feet, carrying the two of them narrowly out of the laser's attack range. .
"Senior...senior..."
The uninjured man's voice trembled with fear, but the injured man calmly put the much taller young man aside and threw an empty Poké Ball over.
The laser shot out in response, smashing the elf ball into pieces - countless yellow and black laser emitters had their fangs protruding ferociously from the gaps between the wall and the ceiling. At a glance, it looked like a swarm of giant needle bees.
This small laser weapon named "Venomous Bee" has always been strictly controlled by the alliance because of its extremely lethality. Unexpectedly, it would appear in large numbers here.
With the guidance of the dynamic capture system, no one can reach the main console through the laser network-perhaps this is one of the reasons why the enemy dares to go to great lengths to lock them here.
The blooming blood flower dazzled the other leader's eyes from a distance, and his empathy broke out at an inappropriate time, causing pain to almost cross the space and act on his body. He suddenly quickened his pace, but the person involved didn't even have the conditioned reflex to cover the wound with his hand. He turned around and asked calmly, "Qingze, can you hack into the laser defense system?"
"Yes - but there is no time." The hacker's voice came through the electromagnetic signal. "It will explode in a little more than three minutes. I can't write a new program and can only temporarily interfere with its operation."
"how long?"
"Five seconds max."
Investigator Xingyu glanced at the other team that was rushing this way, and continued to ask: "Can the main console be controlled remotely?"
"Let me try."
Qingze answered concisely and concisely, and the green characters dancing on his fingertips disappeared into the ocean of the Internet one after another. The large screen surrounding the main console at 360 degrees suddenly lit up, the screen flashed, and the complex safety locks were gradually lifted. The fake branch chief's identity card in Chiwei's hand also used its last remaining heat, using the authority of an ordinary member to race against time to skip one of the protections.
After a while, Qingze stopped.
"No, the last password is a mixture of sixteen characters. Even if I use the computing power of the main console, I won't be able to find the correct password for a while. And... from here on, the remote control is no longer valid and must be entered manually. ” He struck the pillar hard.
Investigator Xingyu was suddenly stunned. A guess hit my mind hard and took root the moment it hit the ground.
The final password, a mixture of sixteen characters...
The email from her friend who was a mind reader still flashed before her eyes.
(Twenty Disasters)
"Qingze, listen to me."
The ever-calm voice of a woman reaches everyone's ears through the tactical helmet.
Investigator Shenyu's steps suddenly staggered - a chilling premonition that had lingered in his nightmare for a long time suddenly arose.
"Can you disable the laser defenses for five seconds while I reach the platform?"
She heard Nishihori's screams and her best friend's anxious calls. However, when the decision is made, all sounds are just "noise".
[Absolute calculation·Open]
[Goal: Cross the laser defense line as quickly as possible while ensuring that you have mobility within the next five seconds]
(Twenty-one·Reverse)
Crystal blue light bloomed. That figure was like a moth flying in a sea of knives and fire, bathed in light that could kill one's life, dancing calmly and decisively.
Even people with the best dynamic vision couldn't see clearly what happened at that moment. Laser rain poured down, and the blood of moths was sprinkled on every step, but they still reached the other side of the storm with incomplete wings.
The combat boots soaked in deep red stepped lightly on the edge of the platform. At the same time, Qingze gritted his teeth and typed the last line of code, and the laser rain suddenly stopped.
Under the psychological suggestion of absolute calculation, all emotions and pain are excluded.
The executor of the task calmly raised his hand, and his jumping fingertips left blood stains on the surface of the light screen.
The characters on the big screen suddenly changed.
[Correct password - enter administrator mode]
[00:00:05]
She knew that she only had time to enter three commands.
The first instruction.
[Energy pipelines 1-18 are operating at full power, delivering energy to the central control room]
The shimmering pipe suddenly glowed brightly. That was a huge amount of energy that could support the operation of the entire fortress for more than a month. It burned through the weak points of the pipeline almost instantly under the chaotic mobilization. Suddenly the sirens roared. In order to protect the central control room, the intelligent system automatically disconnected the pipeline interface in the core area, turning the energy system of the central control room into a "safe" island.
At the same time, the protective gas overflowed, the fireproof partition suddenly fell down, and the high roof opened with a loud noise.
The light dimmed. The artificial lighting from the ceiling was extinguished one after another, replaced by endless darkness. The stars twinkled in the sky, casting a hazy light.
Investigator Xingyu raised his eyes slightly.
Even though her vision was blurred, and even though the lighting system was almost out of action, the man's figure was still as dazzling as if it was glowing. She even saw a ray of silver slipping from the helmet.
She is in the light, he is in the darkness.
The walls were falling, dividing the worlds at either end.
She stared at him.
——It’s like the reverse performance of the first meeting.
(Twenty-two Memories)
She once thought that when people face a desperate situation, they will think of the most important pictures to them, whether they are happiness, pain, contentment, or regret.
However, when the blood-red timepiece beat slowly, what she recalled was just an ordinary day-to-day life.
The silver-haired young man sat on the piano stool, and the melody like a clear spring poured out as his fingertips danced. The cohabitants in the living room were holding thick reference books, enjoying the sound of the piano, and struggling with Spanish.
The afternoon sun shone through the window, gentle but not dazzling, leaving spots of light on the two people's bodies. There is a fresh fruit plate placed on the coffee table, and the light fruity fragrance is vaguely introduced to the nose.
Miaomiao ran around on the carpet playfully, rolling cat hair everywhere. Without paying attention, they ran out of the living room, bumping into the young man's ankle one after another, causing the piano sound to become chaotic.
The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other with a tacit understanding.
It's like, a family.
(Twenty-three·Goodbye)
[00:00:03]
Second instruction.
[Force clear the control room]
The violent shock wave centered on the main console and spread in all directions. The people who were caught off guard were knocked out from a distance and fell all the way backwards into the corridor, falling to pieces.
She knew that the other party could no longer see him - there were too many barriers between them that could not be crossed by sight, such as helmets, walls, spatial distance, and life and death. However, she still raised the corners of her mouth and showed her usual smile.
Say goodbye to that person.
Her first best friend in this world, the person closest to family; the person who made her take root and settle in this world when she was confused.
Her only captain.
——Her "North Star".
(Twenty-four·The End)
[00:00:01]
The third instruction.
[Start emergency popup command]
The people lying on the edge of the corridor were shocked to see the circular central control room rising into the sky like a spaceship amid the earthquake. The huge tail flame held up the behemoth, causing it to soar upward into the endless starry sky.
[00:00:00]
The "Central Control Room Ejection System" was originally a "Noah's Ark" used by the creator of the fortress to protect himself in desperate situations. However, it ended up doing the exact opposite.
On that day, many people saw a meteor rising from the bottom up from the mountains of Ibuki, turning into brilliant fireworks in the night sky.
(??·??)
ah.
So beautiful... the starry sky...
