Chapter 256 The Electronic Cleaner and Cleaner
The cold, mechanical synthesized voice is the final judgment in this underground space.
"Start the 'scavenger' program."
The moment the words left his mouth, the whole world began to crumble.
The bronze floor tiles beneath our feet are no longer solid.
Its edges broke down into countless tiny squares, peeling off like sand, and then turning into streams of green data.
The walls, the dome, the massive wreckage of the hibernation pod in the distance—all matter was pixelating at a visible speed.
This space is being forcibly transformed from a physical realm into lines of cold code.
"What the hell is that?!"
Zhao Lei slammed the Taotie Twin Shields in front of him. The earthen yellow light of the Earth Wall had just lit up when it turned into flickering gibberish.
His armor value on the tactics panel fluctuated wildly, dropping from five digits to zero and then turning into a string of unrecognizable symbols.
"Conventional defenses have failed!"
Wen Yue's voice came through the channel, sounding somewhat urgent.
She picked up the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow and fired an armor-piercing bullet at the disintegrating wall.
The bullet was swallowed up by the data stream in mid-air without even making a sound.
Shen Xinglin took a step forward and planted the ever-changing lance into the ground.
The totem light shield unfolded in response.
This time, however, the light shield was not shattered, but rather "disassembled".
The phantom of the Azure Dragon was restored to the most basic lines of code, which were peeled off and deleted line by line from the light shield.
A green stream of data cascaded down like a waterfall, and Shen Xinglin's mobile knight armor emitted a piercing overload alarm.
"We can't hold on any longer! This thing is directly deleting the attributes of our equipment!"
Su Yunqing raised the Gift of Yao Guang, and a silvery-white healing light curtain covered Shen Xinglin.
The moment the light screen came into contact with the data stream, it began to flicker violently.
The rate at which her mana was being consumed was ten times faster than when she had withstood the thunderstorm from the lightning eagle.
"This is not an attack."
Lu Yan's voice rang out amidst the chaos, frighteningly calm.
"This is formatting."
He did not participate in futile attacks or defenses.
The deconstructed data stream from the Void Disk had already filled his retina.
He looked at the surging green code all around him as if he were admiring a spectacular waterfall.
"This space itself is a giant computer."
"We are the abnormal data inside."
"The 'cleaner' is the antivirus software for this computer."
Lin Chuxue gritted her teeth, and the Blood Pool Howling Staff paused on the ground.
The dark red magic circle had just taken shape when it was shattered by the surging data stream.
"So what do we do? Just wait to die?"
Her spell couldn't even be completed.
"No."
Lu Yan turned around, his gaze fixed on the center of the ancient bronze hall, where the skeleton of the Night Watchman had vanished.
There is a main control panel under the floor tiles there.
"Since it's antivirus software, it must have a host kernel."
"Zhao Leiguang, Shen Xinglin, make way for me."
"Okay!"
Zhao Leiguang roared and abandoned the useless defense.
He folded up one shield and used the other to brace himself against his body, relying solely on the physical weight of the armor to crash into the area with the densest data flow.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
A brutal collision.
This time, he didn't crash into a monster, but into the rules themselves.
Its massive body plowed a brief path through the data stream.
Layers of data were scraped away from the armor surface, revealing the underlying metal.
Shen Xinglin followed closely behind, using his own body as a second barrier.
The two of them used the most primitive method to buy Lu Yan three precious seconds.
Lu Yan's figure flashed by.
He knelt on one knee and lifted the floor tile.
He slammed his tactical terminal hard onto the interface of the main control panel.
hum-
A massive data stream, larger than ever before, flooded into Lu Yan's terminal through the interface.
The power of the Star Deconstruction Instrument was instantly pushed to its limit.
On the terminal screen, red warning boxes kept popping up, almost burning out the processor.
"Trying to format me?"
As Lu Yan watched the code surging on the screen, the twelve-petaled black lotus in his left palm bloomed once more.
"Are you worthy?"
He did not throw the black lotus.
Instead, he placed his left palm directly on the screen of the tactical terminal.
"Reverse intrusion".
The jet-black lotus flower, following the data interface, swims upstream against the current.
It transformed into a pure black torrent of data, plunging into the ocean of green code.
The laboratory's mainframe core instantly detected this non-existent, unanalyzable, and absolute "virus".
It mobilized all its computing power in an attempt to encircle, analyze, and delete this black lotus.
However, the laws of destruction cannot be understood, only obeyed.
The twelve petals of the black lotus slowly unfolded in the core code area of the host.
Instead of destroying, it began to devour.
The immense energy generated by the "scavenger" program, intended to obliterate everything, became the most delicious delicacy in the face of the Black Lotus.
The surging flow of green data has come to a standstill.
The entire process of spatial decomposition has also been suspended.
next second.
Black Lotus successfully countered the "Scavenger" program.
The immense annihilating energy was forcibly converted by the Black Lotus.
It is no longer a fatal delete command, but the purest, ownerless experience data.
Green light rained down from the sky, showering each member of the first squad.
"This...this is..."
Zhao Leiguang stared in disbelief at his tactics panel.
The numbers in the experience points column scrolled wildly like a broken stopwatch.
[Level Up! You have surpassed the level 40 tier limit!]
[Level Up! You have surpassed level 41...]
[The Earth Pulse Set automatically upgrades, unlocking a new feature: Earth Vein Resonance!]
It wasn't just him.
A golden light of upgrade shone on everyone in the first squad.
New runes appeared on Wen Yue's World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow, doubling the capacity of the special ammo slot.
At the top of Lin Chuxue's staff, the crimson orb shone even more eerily, and the maximum shield value of One Blood Ten Thousand Shields directly exceeded 20,000.
Su Yunqing's Gift of Yao Guang even floated in mid-air, its silver radiance condensing into sacred halos.
Xiao Qianyu's Dragon King Halberd emitted a high-pitched dragon roar, and the dark golden dragon shadow almost materialized.
Behind Shen Xinglin's mobile knight armor, the jet nozzles changed from blue to gold, and the area of the totem light shield doubled.
This is a data extravaganza.
The overall strength of the first squad experienced an epic leap during this shower of light.
The data storm has subsided.
The surrounding walls and floor regained their bronze texture.
However, the air was no longer filled with chilling killing intent, but with absolute submission.
The ultimate control of this underground laboratory has fallen into Lu Yan's hands.
He stood up and walked to the control panel.
Fingers tap on the virtual keyboard.
Input the commands line by line.
He was able to access the entire base's core database without any hindrance.
Coordinates of Phase I of the "Europa Incubation Pool" project
[Defense Deployment Map (Top Secret)]
【Four Modification Options for the "Hunter"】
【…】
He downloaded and packaged a massive amount of data, storing it in the independent space of the Void Disk.
With these, the upcoming trip to Europe will no longer be a complete mystery.
"Done."
Lu Yan closed the download window.
Just now.
A communication request popped up on the control panel screen without warning.
Red, cross-dimensional encrypted calls.
The name of the initiator made Lu Yan pause for a moment.
Mars Lee.
The awakened European in the distress video, his face covered in blood, desperately pleading for help from China.
Lu Yan pressed the answer button.
The connection is established.
Mars Lee's face appeared on the screen.
He was very clean, wearing a pure white priest's robe, and his short golden hair was neatly combed.
Behind him, the ruins from the previous video were no longer behind him.
Instead, it is a magnificent church dome made of white crystal.
He had a smile on his face, the kind of smile a hunter has when he sees his prey fall into a trap.
"Guests of China, the Lord awaits you."
