Chapter 470 Interstellar Rebellion 9
Blood Falcon lay motionless on the ground, not because he was injured, but because the invisible pressure still enveloped him, like a mountain, making it impossible for him to even lift a finger.
His mind went blank. What kind of power was this?
He had seen mental pressure before; even he himself, with his S-level mental strength, could exert mental pressure.
But that pressure, like a wall, forcefully blocks you and crushes you.
But this woman's power is different.
It is not a wall, it is the sky.
It's as if the entire sky has collapsed, leaving you nowhere to escape, no way to resist, only to passively endure, unable even to muster the thought of struggling.
Zhou Jue withdrew that power.
Blood Falcon felt a sudden lightness in his body. He sprang up from the ground, panting heavily, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.
The way he looked at Zhou Jue had completely changed.
There was no more contempt, no more fighting spirit, not even any vigilance; only the instinctive awe that a subordinate feels when facing a superior they cannot understand.
Su Liya snapped out of her reverie, gave Zhou Jue a deep look, and then nodded solemnly.
"have."
She then gave a wry smile.
"It's more than just being qualified."
"With your abilities, we've struck gold."
Blood Falcon silently walked behind Sulia without saying a word, but his posture had changed from standing side by side to a slightly rearward guarding stance.
The three returned to the conference room.
The atmosphere was completely different.
"Blood Falcon, give Zhou Jue a share of the base's highest authority." Su Liya's first words after sitting down startled Blood Falcon.
But without any hesitation, he immediately prepared to operate the terminal on his wrist: "Yes, Miss."
Zhou Jue did not refuse, which meant she truly accepted the situation, but she still spoke up: "My current identity has not yet been genetically verified, so I cannot accept the terminal."
Sulia was surprised. Without genetic verification, either the person had just arrived in interstellar space, or they had been hiding all along.
"Do you need us to make you an identity document?"
“No need. I’ll just buy a free citizen status from Buck. All that’s left is the genetic verification,” Zhou Jue refused.
Sulia didn't insist. Being a free citizen was fine; not having an identity allowed her to hide herself better.
Soon, Zhou Jue's gene certification was completed, and Blood Falcon synchronized the base permissions to Zhou Jue.
“Now, we can get down to business.” Sulia’s expression turned serious. She crossed her arms on the table and looked directly at Zhou Jue.
"Our plan is actually very simple, just two steps."
"First, sever the mainframe's control over the StarNet."
"Secondly, under the leadership of our people, namely the Third Prince, we will overthrow the pro-war faction and rebuild a new, pro-peace federation."
Zhou Jue listened quietly.
"It sounds simple, but every step is incredibly difficult," Sulia sighed.
"There are two major difficulties."
She held up one finger.
"First, the main system. Its main unit is located in the 'Sky Eye Tower' on the central star, which is the most heavily defended place in the entire Federation."
"My system, 066, is now at the maximum level of ten. This is the highest level among all of us rebels."
[That's right! Senior is the best!] In Zhou Jue's mind, Brother Tongzi flattered him at the right time.
“Even at level ten,” Sulia’s tone turned serious, “we can only penetrate to the second layer of its five-layer firewall.”
“Going any further in, every step could trigger an alarm, exposing all our hidden systems.”
Blood Falcon added from the side, "We've tried countless simulated attacks, but not a single one has succeeded. That thing is like an all-around monitoring monster with no weaknesses."
“But it does.” Sulia changed the subject.
"We went to great lengths to find a crucial piece of information."
Her voice was very low: "In the core of the 'Sky Eye Tower' mainframe, there is a physical restart button."
"Pressing this button will force a system restart, during which there will be a three-second system vacuum period."
"These three seconds are our only chance."
"Our system can take the opportunity to implant a backdoor and seize some control of it."
Zhou Jue understood: bypass the strongest digital walls and attack its weakest physical core directly.
"That place must be hard to get into."
"Difficult to get in?" Sulia laughed self-deprecatingly. "That place is inaccessible."
"The 'Sky Eye Tower' is guarded by the 'Arbitrators,' the elite guard of the 'Main Body's' most loyal supporters, the 'Main Body' faction."
"Even our deepest-placed piece can only operate in the outer defense zone, unable to even reach the gates of the core area."
She looked at Zhou Jue with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"So, the first tough nut to crack is to infiltrate the 'Sky Eye Tower' and press that button."
After Sulia finished speaking, she held up her second finger.
"The second difficulty is the military."
“Once we take action, whether we succeed or not, the Federation fleet controlled by the pro-war faction will react immediately after the main system restarts in three seconds.”
“I also have my own forces on the surface of the Central Star, but in a direct confrontation, we only have a 30% chance of winning.”
Blood Falcon's expression grew even uglier: "Miss's 30% is still the most optimistic estimate. The 'Executioner' fleet of the pro-defense faction can blockade the entire orbit of the central star within five minutes."
"The longer we delay, the more hope we have." Su Liya's gaze was fixed on Zhou Jue again.
“You said before that you had more than a dozen companions.”
“If they are as powerful as you, I need them to help me hold back the ‘Executioner’ fleet when I make my move. Even if it’s just a part of it, it will increase our chances of winning.”
After listening, Zhou Jue replied without hesitation, "No problem."
Sulia and Blood Falcon were both taken aback. They had anticipated that Zhou Jue would bargain, make demands, carefully analyze the risks, and even back down.
Unexpectedly, she agreed so quickly and easily.
“‘Sky Eye Tower,’ I’ll go.” Zhou Jue continued, “My comrades will also intercept the fleet. Send me a message in advance if any area requires coordinated action.”
Looking at her calm face, Sulia couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure? Infiltrating the 'Sky Eye Tower' is more dangerous than the front line, and even the main system itself has powerful attack and defense capabilities."
"I thought you would choose to send your own people..."
“No,” Zhou Jue interrupted her, “I’ll go, the success rate is higher.”
Sulia fell silent; the woman's confidence made her feel somewhat unreal.
"How are you going to get in?" Sulia finally asked the most crucial question.
"Don't tell me you're thinking of using something like an invisibility cloak."
She shook her head: "That's useless. The 'Sky Eye Tower's' scanning system is quantum-level, and it also has bio-pheromone tracking. Even if you turn into a fly and become invisible, as long as you're alive, you can't fly in."
Zhou Jue smiled as she looked at Su Liya and Blood Falcon, whose faces were solemn.
"I have my own way, another way."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was unusually confident, subtly shattering Sulia and Blood Falcon's perceptions.
All their plans and deductions are based on the technology and rules of this interstellar civilization.
Stealth, offensive, disguise...
But the woman in front of me seemed to have no intention of following the rules here.
She was going to accomplish this impossible task in a way that they couldn't understand or even imagine.
The meeting room fell silent again.
Looking at Zhou Jue, Su Liya suddenly felt that her previous assessment of Zhou Jue's strength might have been... too low.
This mysterious ally, with her power, might just completely overturn this war where the odds are so heavily against her.
