02:26:27.
Yu Yu killed several groups of pursuers. Probably twenty-eight or twenty-nine, she couldn't remember exactly—she was in terrible shape right now, her internal organs were almost shattered, several ribs were broken, and her right leg was completely crippled. She changed her hiding place, which took her more than ten minutes.
She was in an abandoned gas station on the way to the Dolphin Hotel. In the darkness, the light from countless traffic lights shone on her face, making her look frail, like a ghost formed from the gray mess, cold and sinister, as if she wanted to destroy everything.
The screen directly opposite displayed an electronic watermark with an unclear meaning, emitting a red light like a pupil wide open in an abyss, with the bloody message "Caution: You have entered a danger zone" written above it. Some Americans are really stupid; these days even the gas pump notification is in the style of a disaster movie. It's hard to imagine what kind of low-brow movies they watch all day long.
Someone must have placed something here, probably the remains of an observer or some other controllable decoration. Those things are incredibly expensive, but the higher-ups have plenty of money.
Yu Yu thought she needed to catch her breath before continuing on her way.
Before setting off, she discovered that the people in the adjudication department were all researching projects that could make a fortune, such as suppressive drugs; while the military was obsessed with human modification development projects, taking advantage of the properties of forbidden substances; only the investigation department, which was about to be thrown into the waste bin, had the time to set up various traps in the city.
Sure enough, she found it in the terminal database not long after.
Before boarding the plane, Yu Jianchu transferred nearly half of the authority within the adjudication department to himself. Li Lin had tested that program several times, hoping it would come in handy when things came to a head with the Americas. He hadn't expected the opportunity to come so soon.
She browsed quickly, then went to access the operational catalog of the top 27 ace operatives in the Americas, unlocked the encryption mechanism, and soon found content marked "It is necessary to clean up the total data of unstable operatives when necessary".
While doing all these things, Yu Yu was obviously very skilled, with precise thinking and steady movements, as if he were not the one who was wounded on the battlefield.
In those eyes, there was only a bottomless chill. Her face was expressionless, and they were hopeless pupils. Strange glints flashed and disappeared within them, only revealing a chilling aura that could devour everything from the depths.
Over the years, she has actively given up too many things and doesn't know how to love others, but she still understands other things, the simplest kind—how to destroy other people's lives.
So when she left Dongxia, boarded that flight that might leave her dead without a trace, and entered the empty restricted area... as she watched the experimental videos and death reports, went to the outside world to help collect the bodies, and drove the still valuable people to the cutting site, looking at this world that was prosperous on the surface but extremely dirty inside, she only had one thought in her mind: How can I completely destroy it?
Outside of Eoubs' work, Yu Yun is a calm, rational person who obeys the law and has never even had a criminal record. But when she thinks about all the despair, pain, death, and violence in the desolate world, the darkness that controls the depths of her mind and threatens to devour her soul at any moment will loosen.
It's as if everything is just a game that's too difficult. If you could cheat a little, time might freeze forever. Even if there are mountains of corpses all around, you would never have a warm place to belong again, and you would have no attachments. You would be reduced to a hell where there is only endless wailing and lamentation.
As long as we can destroy this world.
Then it's worth it.
Under the light of the display screen, Yu Yu's face, divided by shadows, remained calm. She pondered repeatedly, unable to stop—how could she possibly destroy everything?
She suddenly had an idea, maybe... just maybe, she didn't even know what she wanted to do—and there was no chance of success at all. She had always been a very rational person, knowing what could be accomplished and what was just a pipe dream.
But now, without a moment's pause, all the gloomy thoughts quickly coalesced into one, instantly transforming into concrete action.
She connected the terminal to the intelligence station of the Americas branch and then entered the erosion code.
Behind the electronic floating screens of countless investigation departments, operations departments, special operations staff, and B-level personnel review halls, a specific set of instructions began to be read.
All those devices were displaying the same thing: astronomical numbers of personnel on duty—numbers never seen in any previous control operation in Los Angeles. It was unclear who ultimately gave the order; layers of executives were simply following instructions and passing them down. Despite this rate of updates, the attendance data remained stubbornly high and even showed an increasing trend.
On the other screens, a surprise attack was being live-streamed—there were a lot of people doing this, with dozens gathered under each of the split screens.
At the top of the image, there was even a line that read, "Eoubs private property, dissemination by all personnel is prohibited, and severe penalties will be imposed for any violation." Of course, this group was obviously very competent; they cleaned up all suspicious monitoring code. Although the attack was always intermittent and often turned into silly titles like emoticons, the attacker was also a master. This strange situation had never occurred in the Americas before.
Yu Yu wasn't in the mood to worry about too much. She activated several more layers of concealment, and a floating screen slowly extended from her wristwatch. She could hear the noisy discussion over there; she needed to know the situation at the Dolphin Hotel.
Whether it's controlling a mission or engaging in internal strife, one needs sufficient composure to make clear-headed decisions; at this moment, she cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake.
From what the group said, it was clear that Joseph had been completely blacklisted twenty minutes earlier, declaring an irreconcilable conflict with all those who possessed forbidden items in America... no, all of them. The paparazzi in the investigation department were practically exploding with their voices, as if their eyes were covered in a pot of hot shit.
"I just uploaded the video of his death; he had accomplices," someone said.
"Damn... I can't believe it. This guy has no special characteristics left, yet he still managed to kill so many operatives," another person said.
"I said it when he was labeled a 'natural disaster,' that he would destroy everything for his own obsession. This old bastard's bones are filled with poison that can kill people, and he doesn't care about any high-level annihilation orders—"
"Stop looking at it, Europe has issued a statement saying that if Sergio dies, they will kill us."
"What the hell?"
"I think that former ace operative is in pretty bad shape. By the way... wasn't the 15th ranked operative supposed to have set off a while ago? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"Even satellite phones can't track the information. Could it be that the mother has betrayed us too?"
Yu Yu wrote down all of these words and then went to access the core database of the adjudication department.
However, at that moment...
