Lu Zhaoming's expression changed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

It seems that the woman, Green Snake, really had ill intentions; she actually planted tracking devices inside the ruins.

"Qinglian, blacksmith, search for the signal source immediately! Remember, be quick!" Lu Zhaoming gave the order decisively.

Qinglian and the blacksmith dared not delay and immediately got to work.

Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and said to the old man, "Professor, let's go. We don't have much time left."

Led by Professor Lin and Afu, Lu Zhaoming and his group arrived at the entrance to the core control room.

It was a heavy metal door, covered with complex circuits and combination locks.

“This door is difficult to open and requires special access,” Professor Lin said.

“Leave it to me,” Lu Zhaoming said, activating his “Eye of Judgment.”

Countless streams of data flashed before his eyes as he rapidly analyzed the structure and operating principles of the combination lock.

A few minutes later, Lu Zhaoming reached out and entered a string of numbers on the combination lock.

The metal door slowly opened.

Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and went inside.

The core control room was larger than he had imagined, filled with all sorts of instruments and equipment, and the air was thick with the smell of electronics.

In the center of the room, a half-damaged terminal was flickering with a faint light, its screen displaying complex code and data.

"This is the core data of 'Project White Coat'," Professor Lin said. "If we can crack this data, we can stop their conspiracy."

Lu Zhaoming nodded, walked to the terminal, and began to carefully analyze the content on the screen.

He discovered that the so-called "White Coat Project" was actually an ultimate experiment involving the extraction of life energy and the modification of superpowers.

"These lunatics actually want to create super soldiers this way!" Lu Zhaoming cursed angrily.

"This is what they're willing to do anything to get," Professor Lin sighed.

Just then, the terminal suddenly emitted a piercing alarm sound, and a red warning message appeared on the screen.

"An external intrusion signal is approaching..."

Professor Lin's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Oh no, they're coming!"

However, Lu Zhaoming ignored the alarm and continued to stare at the data on the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

"Damn it, there's not enough time!" Lu Zhaoming gritted his teeth; he had to back up this data to the system as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, looked up, and looked towards the doorway.

"It seems our guests have arrived."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold voice rang out in the room.

"Lu Zhaoming, you really are here."

Lu Zhaoming slowly turned around, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"Green Snake?"

A familiar figure appeared at the doorway.

Green Snake wore a tight black leather outfit that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.

A cold smile played on her lips, and her eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were fixed intently on Lu Zhaoming.

"I've said it before, the secrets deep within the ruins are not for you to meddle with." The Green Serpent's voice was icy and chilling.

"Is that so? I'd like to see what you're capable of doing to stop me." Lu Zhaoming smiled contemptuously.

The green snake didn't speak, but slowly raised her hand, her fingertips shimmering with an eerie green light.

"The game has begun."

"Green Snake?" Lu Zhaoming raised an eyebrow, his playful smile deepening. "Tsk, it's like a persistent ghost."

As he spoke, his fingers moved so fast on the terminal that they almost left afterimages, and data poured in like a waterfall, flooding the storage space of the "Doomsday Judgment System".

The air seemed to be filled with the acrid smell of rapidly spinning electronic components.

A soft "ding!" sounded, and the system notification appeared: [Core data backup complete!]

Almost at the same time, the green snake moved!

She pounced like a ghost, the eerie green light at her fingertips aimed straight at Lu Zhaoming's face, carrying a sweet and pungent poisonous scent.

At the same time, she heard a series of heavy footsteps coming from the passage behind her; clearly, her reinforcements had blocked her retreat.

"You think you can get away with backing up the data?" Green Snake's voice was full of sarcasm, like cold venom. "Today, this is your grave!"

"A grave? Ha, the feng shui isn't good, I don't like it." Lu Zhaoming didn't retreat but advanced, stomping his foot hard on an inconspicuous brick on the ground!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the walls on both sides of the passage they had just entered suddenly flipped up, and countless crossbow bolts, gleaming with cold light, rained down on the enemies pouring in from behind!

With the sounds of flesh being pierced and a few short screams, the passage was instantly sealed off.

"A mere trick!" the green snake sneered, but its attack did not stop in the slightest.

As Lu Zhaoming dodged the green snake's cunning attacks in a disheveled manner, he cursed inwardly, "Damn it, is this woman a mudfish?" He could feel that each dodge consumed his already limited energy.

Just then, the cold system notification sounded in my mind again, with an unprecedented urgency:

【warn!

warn!

Life energy is below 10% and is about to be depleted!

We strongly recommend immediately ceasing the use of high-energy-consuming skills!

Lu Zhaoming's forehead instantly broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat, his face turned slightly pale, and even his breathing became a little heavier.

He gritted his teeth and growled, "Shut up! It's not time to give up yet!"

“Mr. Lu!” At this critical moment, Professor Lin, who had been observing from a corner, suddenly pointed to a dusty maintenance hatch deep inside the control room, his voice trembling with uncertainty, “There! There seems to be… there seems to be an old maintenance passage! No one has used it in a long time, and we don’t know where it leads…”
