Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Exploded?
Gu Jue, "Get Vermilion Bird to connect with Bai Ze and break the program of the bomb!"
White Tiger had just responded when suddenly, its voice began to tremble!
"Master, Master, I can’t reach Vermilion Bird!"
Although Gu Tao had implemented signal jamming in advance,
this also led to the malfunction of many people’s brain-computers.
But like Gue Jue, Su Wan also possessed a very high-level artificial intelligence.
So they were still able to make contact before.
But now, they had suddenly lost connection.
The signal was interrupted.
By the pond near the deep parts of the garden within the Imperial Palace,
gentle flowers bloomed on a rockery.
With a pale face, Su Wan covered her ears in surprise. "Vermilion Bird, you can’t connect with White Tiger? What about Bai Ze; can you reach it?"
Vermilion Bird, "I’m sorry, Master, there’s a very strong signal that’s interfering with mine."
Vermilion Bird, "Unless I restart, I won’t be able to make contact for half an hour."
Su Wan shook her head.
Now they had less than three minutes!
There was absolutely no time for a restart!
Su Wan looked at the black box before her, with its code characters jumping on the display.
Biting her teeth, she said, "Vermilion Bird, let’s try to terminate this destruction program!"
"Yes, Master!"
In front of the live broadcast camera, everyone was tense!
Eric then reported, "Boss, the civilians around the Imperial Palace have been successfully evacuated."
In other words, if it really explodes,
at least they could ensure the safety of the ordinary citizens.
Mad as Gu Tao was, he still aspired to occupy that throne.
He didn’t care at all about the lives of the common citizens of the Empire!
Gu Zilan looked at Gu Jue with reddening eyes, "Uncle, we’re running out of time! What if, what if I just give up the throne? Give it to him!"
Gu Jue looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
His eyes were deep.
The usually glittering and magnificent Imperial Palace was now shrouded in an ill-omened, light grey haze.
Only three minutes left.
Gu Jue, "Give Wanwan a bit more time; I believe in her."
Gu Zilan pursed his lips and his handsome brows furrowed tightly.
At the foot of the rockery,
Su Wan felt dizzy again, and everything before her eyes started to blur.
She was trying hard to recall the operating principles of the destruction device discussed in a previous weapons class.
Gu Tao hadn’t lied.
If this thing really exploded, the entire Imperial Palace would become a charred crater!
That man had truly reached a dead end.
He was now prepared to go down in flames rather than surrender.
"I need to enter an ’R’ into this program, then another..."
She entered the letters one by one.
Sweat began to bead on Su Wan’s forehead.
Vermilion Bird was also very nervous.
"Master, only the final passphrase is left!"
The previous entries had gone through without issue, which meant they were correct.
Just the last passphrase remained.
The countdown on the destruction device indicated that there was only one minute left!
What was the final passphrase?
As every second ticked away,
Gu Tao sat on the throne with an ugly expression on his face.
"Gu Zilan, Gu Jue, it turns out you value power and position far more than your women and children! But that’s to be expected, always acting virtuous in public, claiming to care the most about family, when in fact those are just lies. Just like your father, just like your grandfather, all cut from the same cloth!"
"Only forty seconds left now."
"Don’t you want to rush in to see the final frightened expressions of your wives and children? Hahaha."
The man had lost his mind.
Or perhaps, he was reaching the age limit for a Beastman’s transformation.
Gu Tao had never considered how much longer he might live.
Gu Zilan could no longer hold back and summoned the Black Tortoise Mecha, rushing in first!
But Gu Jue’s Azure Dragon was even faster!
In Gu Tao’s hand, indeed, was a control button.
However, seeing Gu Jue and Gu Zilan both charging in, he was in no rush to press the button.
Let them all come in.
Get a little closer.
Then, let’s all die together!!!
Hearing the sounds of fighting outside, Queen Luo Manya held the two children, tears streaming down her face.
She knew that Zilan had come to rescue them.
Fools!
If it’s destined to explode, why did you come in?!
You should have run far away!
Because Gu Jue and Gu Zilan led their men in, Gu Tao’s subordinates were thrown into a panic.
They rushed into the sleeping quarters, planning to harm Luo Manya and the others, and take them as hostages!
The first man to burst in stopped short.
"Where did Su Wan go?"
Another said, "Never mind that, hurry up and grab Queen Luo Manya, oh right, the children too. Otherwise, when they rush in, we’re finished!"
While speaking, they moved to grab Luo Manya!
The next moment, purple sparks crackled and flashed!
"Ah!"
Several men fell to the ground, convulsing.
The remaining man, wary, looked at Luo Manya, "You, what have you done?"
Not wanting to expose Xiaochen, Luo Manya pointed the photon gun at him.
"I’m the queen; of course, I have some special means. So, do you want to end up like your companions, or do you want to seize the chance to run for your life?"
Looking at the normally gentle queen.
When she got tough, her presence was incredibly powerful!
The man was already beside himself with fear.
Hearing the fighting outside and knowing that Gu Zilan and Gu Jue had broken in!
In the end, he dropped his companions and ran!
Seeing him flee, Luo Manya worried that the men lying on the ground would wake up again.
She gritted her teeth and quickly gave them a few more shots!
Seeing that they were completely motionless.
Luo Manya once again gathered the children in her arms.
She looked at the wolf-eared baby, "Xiaochen, where did your mom go?"
Little Gu Chen shook his head, his eyes blank.
He didn’t know where mommy had gone.
He missed mommy so much!
Just then, Gu Zilan led his men and burst in!
Seeing Luo Manya and the children all right, tears instantly streamed from his eyes.
Yet Luo Manya raised her hand and slapped him!
"Gu Zilan, are you sick? Don’t you know it’s going to explode? Why did you run in here!"
Gu Zilan let his wife hit him.
He reached out and tightly hugged his queen, whispering softly, "We’ve evacuated the civilians nearby. If we are destined to die, Manya, let’s die together."
Watching their parents embrace, Little Ruanruan silently sidled up and hugged his uncle.
Little Gu Chen frowned, his wolf ears drooping down.
Where are his daddy and mommy? QAQ
At that moment, Gu Jue held the photon gun against Gu Tao’s forehead.
Gu Tao laughed loudly, not frightened at all, and instead started to countdown.
"Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!" He formed a silent ’boom’ with his lips.
A smile played on Gu Tao’s lips.
Gu Jue looked at him coldly.
After a full ten seconds passed.
The smile on Gu Tao’s face slowly fractured, turning to horror!
"Why, why didn’t it explode? Why!" he pressed the button in his hand frantically, becoming utterly mad!
