Chapter 192 This base has been captured by me
The command center was shrouded in darkness, with only a few alarm systems emitting a faint red light.
While everyone was still wondering what was going on, the cold, mechanical sound of machinery rang out from the base's labang.
The host system has stopped functioning.
In an instant, the entire base seemed to be frozen in place. All the sophisticated systems that relied on the mainframe system for coordination ceased to function, like puppets with broken strings.
The instrument screens, which usually flashed with various data, suddenly went completely black; the continuous humming of machines and the sound of electricity stopped abruptly, replaced by an unsettling silence; the ventilation ducts were no longer flowing, and a stuffy atmosphere began to permeate every corner.
Daigo, who was sitting at his computer, was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
The surroundings were instantly plunged into complete darkness. He instinctively stopped in his tracks, his face full of confusion, muttering to himself, "The power's out?"
In his memory, this well-equipped and technologically advanced base had a complete power supply and emergency response system. Such a large-scale and unexpected power outage was simply beyond reason.
Megumi Kijima stood up and asked, "Team Member Nozue, what exactly happened?"
Deep within the base's control center, the Ye Rui team members were extremely busy.
His eyes were fixed on the flickering, cluttered screen in front of him, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his collar.
Upon hearing Captain Megumi's question, he frantically typed on the keyboard, trying to sort through the chaotic data, and loudly replied, "The main computer is experiencing an anomaly, and the defense system has automatically activated."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the shrill alarm in the main control room suddenly blared, as if it were the prelude to impending doom.
Immediately afterwards, a cold, mechanical electronic voice echoed throughout the base: "Main control system shut down, self-protection system deactivated." With this voice, the automatic doors throughout the base seemed to receive a unified command, and with a heavy metallic scraping sound, they slowly closed, separating and sealing off the various areas.
Captain Kei's brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep "川" (river) shape.
She knew the situation was urgent and that measures had to be taken as soon as possible to restore the system, otherwise the base would be plunged into an even greater crisis. Without hesitation, she ordered into the communicator, "Ye Rui, shut down the main computer and start the backup system!"
Just as Nori was about to carry out the order, the main screen in the base suddenly flickered a few times, and then the scene changed, and a figure that looked very much like Horii appeared on the screen.
However, this "Horii" exudes an unusual coldness and stiffness, with empty and lifeless eyes, as if he were just a manipulated shell, without any vitality.
"No!" Horii's voice on the screen was strange, as if it came from the bottom of a deep valley, carrying a sinister warning.
Then, a strange smile appeared on his lips as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "I've taken over the main computer of this base!"
He paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen and fixed on everyone in the command room, his tone filled with threat: "If you shut down the main computer, then... I can't guarantee the safety of the New City team members."
Upon hearing this, the entire command room fell into a deathly silence.
