At the same time, the situation on Xiao Yi's side was becoming increasingly critical. The ammunition was about to run out, and the team members fell one after another.
At this critical moment, the entire passage suddenly shook violently, alarms blared, and red warning lights flashed.
"Warning! Warning! Primary system compromised! Self-destruct sequence activated!"
Xiao Yi was shocked: Chen Feng and the others succeeded!
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" he shouted, leading the remaining team members to run back.
But they didn't run far before they met Chen Feng and others who were turning back.
"No!" Chen Feng gasped, "Lin Xue...she's taken control of the main system! She wants to perish along with the base!"
Xiao Yi's heart suddenly tightened: "Where is she?"
"Central Control Room! But it's been blocked!"
Without saying anything, Xiao Yi turned around and rushed towards the control room. He knew that this might be his last chance.
After passing through numerous obstacles, Xiao Yi finally arrived at the central control room. Through the bulletproof glass, he saw a shocking scene.
Lin Xue floated in mid-air, surrounded by a blue energy field. Countless streams of data flowed around her, and her eyes had completely turned a mechanical red.
"Lin Xue!" Xiao Yi slapped the glass, "Stop! You'll die!"
Lin Xue turned her head and spoke in a mechanical voice: "Brother Xiao Yi... This is the only thing I can do... The Iceman's plan must be stopped..."
"No! There has to be another way!"
Lin Xue gave a sad smile: "Thank you... for letting me know what true family is... Now, let me protect you..."
Before he finished speaking, the entire base began to shake violently. Xiao Yi was pushed out by a powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.
In his last consciousness, he saw a blinding white light and heard a deafening explosion...
The blinding white light gradually faded, and Xiao Yi struggled to open his eyes. He found himself lying in the ruins, surrounded by shattered metal and concrete.
"Lin Xue..." He murmured, struggling to stand up. But the pain all over his body forced him to give up.
Footsteps were heard in the distance, and Chen Feng and Dr. Li arrived with the rescue team.
"Thank God, you're still alive!" Doctor Li immediately began to check Xiao Yi's injuries.
"Where is Lin Xue?" Xiao Yi asked anxiously.
Chen Feng and Dr. Li exchanged heavy glances.
"We... didn't find her," Chen Feng whispered, "The control room completely collapsed, and..."
"And what?"
Doctor Li sighed. "We found something... unusual in the rubble."
She pulled out a broken crystal that seemed to have liquid flowing inside.
"This was found in the wreckage of the control room," Chen Feng explained. "According to our analysis, this may be the core component of some kind of biological computer."
Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat: "You mean..."
"Lin Xue might not be an ordinary human," Doctor Li continued. "Or rather, not entirely human. She might be the carrier of the Iceman's most advanced biological computer."
This news made Xiao Yi fall into silence. He recalled every little detail of his time with Lin Xue, her unusual behavior, her sudden headache, her intuition about high technology...
"No matter what she is," Xiao Yi said firmly, "she is our family. We must find her."
Just then, there was a commotion in the distance. A scout came running over in a panic: "Oh no! Frozen reinforcements are coming!"
Xiao Yi endured the pain and stood up: "Everyone, prepare to fight!"
But Chen Feng stopped him: "Wait! Look over there!"
Following the direction Chen Feng pointed, Xiao Yi saw an incredible scene: the Iceman's reinforcements suddenly stopped advancing, their equipment began to smoke, and robots fell one after another.
"Was this... done by Lin Xue?" Dr. Li said in surprise.
Suddenly, all the electronic devices that were still working lit up at the same time, and a familiar voice came from all directions:
"Brother Xiao Yi...I'm still here..."
"Lin Xue!" Xiao Yi shouted excitedly, "Where are you?"
"I... I became data," Lin Xue's voice was a little distorted. "When the base exploded, my consciousness was uploaded to the Icebreakers' network. Now, I can control their systems..."
Chen Feng immediately turned on his laptop, and a large amount of data streams began to flash on the screen.
"Oh my god..." he exclaimed, "Lin Xue is dismantling the Iceman's entire network!"
Lin Xue's voice continued, "But... I don't have much time left. The Icebreaker's main program is trying to eliminate me... Before I disappear, I must tell you an important piece of information..."
"No!" Xiao Yi shouted, "There must be a way to save you!"
"Listen to me," Lin Xue's voice became urgent, "The Icemen... they are not the real enemy... the real threat comes from..."
Suddenly, the sound cut out and all devices went black.
"Lin Xue! Lin Xue!" Xiao Yi slapped the computer frantically, but there was no response.
At this moment, the sky suddenly lit up. Everyone looked up and saw a huge pillar of light descending from the sky, covering the entire ruins.
"This is..." Chen Feng was stunned, "a space jump channel!"
A massive spaceship slowly descended from the beam of light. Emblazoned on its hull was an unfamiliar symbol: Earth Federation.
