Chapter 518: Chapter 339: At the Moment of Crisis
[Secret Laboratory at Edge Mansion]
Future and Qi Ling are seated on opposite sides, each controlling their own equipment.
Future is facing a large computer with formidable processing power, and she is intently watching the complex graphics and data it is feeding back.
"Boss! Respond! Respond!"
Aside from the computer’s high-speed operational hum, there is no other sound.
Qi Ling urgently asks, "What’s going on?"
Future looks at the results analyzed by the computer and says anxiously, "In just a blink, his brain signals suddenly went abnormal, and we lost contact with him."
Qi Ling: "He mentioned such a possibility before, saying he might suffer an attack similar to the Illusionary Blood Code on the consciousness level. If it really happens, we need to find a way to wake him up. Quick, activate the emergency procedures!"
Future’s fingers rapidly dance on the keyboard, saying, "Procedure One, activate the electroshock device, initiate physical awakening."
She finishes and presses the button.
The electroshock device was pre-installed on Su Mo, meant for situations like this. Upon activation, it continuously releases electric currents with a large power but short duration, causing intense pain without threatening life.
Computer data shows that the electroshock device is activated and has subjected Su Mo to a dozen strong shocks, but the brain signal abnormality remains and he has not awakened.
Future furrows her brows and says, "Procedure One failed, start Procedure Two, inject the anti-hallucination central nervous suppressor, attempt a pharmaceutical awakening."
The button is pressed again.
The pre-prepared drug is injected into Su Mo’s body through a device he wears, in a dosage that can cause permanent damage to an ordinary person’s central nervous system.
However, it still has no effect.
Beads of sweat appear on Future’s forehead as she trembles, saying, "Procedure Two failed, start Procedure Three, the final plan, activate the super-frequency electronic counter unit, block all wave signals around him!"
The button is pressed.
The super-frequency electronic counter unit was also worn by Su Mo beforehand; in the original plot, the hallucination-causing white incandescent light is actually a kind of visible wave that greatly impacts human brain areas.
Procedure Three, the final plan, uses the super-frequency electronic counter unit to create a shielding force field, isolating all known human oscillating particle waves.
This plan is saved for last because it carries a risk of damaging communication equipment, causing a direct disconnection between both parties, thus should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Once Procedure Three is activated, the results are mixed.
The positive outcome is that the communication equipment is not damaged, and both parties remain connected.
The negative aspect is the same as with the first two procedures: it has no effect.
Future mutters blankly, "The super-frequency electronic counter unit didn’t work... How can this be... Qi Ling, how about your side, did you intercept the communication interface?"
Qi Ling’s expression is equally grave: "No, his stopping point is too far out, and the distance is insufficient."
Future grits her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm. Moments later, she turns around and faces the massive computer again, beginning her operation.
"Since that’s the case, we can only first figure out the type of wave signal boss was subjected to. If we can grasp its nature, maybe we can find a way to help him break free."
...
[Northern Border District]
The time has reached dusk, the waning sun sinks into the horizon, the western sky is suffused with a blood-like red, gradually being engulfed by the darkness of night.
The battlefield is filled everywhere with the smell of blood and the acrid scent of burning construction materials. The ground is strewn with the corpses of Northern Border citizens, stretching densely to the end of the street.
The huge passage created by the Tunneling Insect lies here, the surface’s dark hole resembling an abyss leading to Hell, countless fierce beasts continuously pouring out, rushing towards other surrounding areas.
At this moment, the sky high above streaks with a dozen white trails, marks made by the engines of some kind of individual flying unit in operation.
The white trails slice through half the sky, then come rushing down in a diagonal line.
As the first individual flying unit lands, the nearby fierce beasts soon notice the tall figure atop it.
"Roar—" Snarls rise in succession, the fierce beasts’ eyes glittering with a bloodthirsty cold light, charging at this human.
The foul wind whistles around, tossing the newcomer’s black long hair into disarray, her dark purple eyes gazing emotionlessly at them.
Fenrir raises her arm, five fingers begin to transform into beast-like sharp claws, the blood vessels carrying boiling-hot blood become almost crimson, appearing as blood patterns surfacing on her skin, a sign that the Azure Wolf Blood Code is activated.
With each passing second, her inner strength grows immense, the dark purple eyes becoming suffused with bloodshot lines, an awe-inspiring killing intent surging in waves like a giant tide.
"Boom—" At the instant Fenrir moves, the ground beneath her feet explodes into a spiderweb of cracks spanning nearly a hundred meters, the entire block shudders violently under this earth-shattering force.
Her form becomes a blurred afterimage, entering a realm of extreme supersonic speed, her sharp claws striking instantly at the foremost large fierce beast.
"Boom!!!" The large fierce beast’s body is crushed in an instant, truly shattered, its brutish body structure unable to withstand the immense pressure, disintegrating into hundreds of thousands of fragments, a blood mist soaring skyward, mingled with shredded flesh, surging upwards, then turning into a shower of blood.
"Boom boom boom—" The sonic boom of breaking through the sound barrier sounds continuously, as Fenrir furiously assaults the beasts from the front, the air’s oscillating waves rippling outward in all directions.
