"There's no time!" Jiang Li's voice was hoarse and tense. He quickly scanned the entire room, his gaze finally fixed on the main console. "Bring her over! Connect her to the port! Quick!"
The team members did not dare to hesitate and dragged me towards the main control console.
"Warning...unauthorized...biometric...access...denied..." Just as I was dragged to the main console, a glaring red light suddenly lit up above the console, and a cold electronic synthesized voice resounded throughout the control room.
"Authorization! We need Su Wan's highest authority!" a team member shouted desperately.
Su Wan... has been buried underwater...
"Entropy...Logic Core...Transfer...Force...Execute..." The voice inside his head suddenly became extremely sharp and cold! As if issuing a final ultimatum!
Buzz——!!!
A terrifying invisible force erupted from my body once again! This time, it wasn't an outward repulsion, but an invisible pull inward, toward the console! The two team members supporting me screamed as if struck by a high-voltage current and were flung back! I lost my support and fell heavily onto the cold metal base of the console!
And my right hand, the hand that had tried to attack Jiang Li, now had five fingers like a red-hot iron, covered with flowing liquid gold substance. I suddenly raised it up and pressed it hard on the biometric recognition panel in the center of the main console that was flashing red light!
Tsk——!!!
A piercing sound of energy overload rang out! The identification panel instantly exploded! Dark blue arcs of electricity danced wildly! The liquid gold covering my palm spread rapidly and penetrated like a living thing, eroding the delicate wiring and interfaces inside the main console like crazy!
"Force...crack...the underlying...physical protocol...the logical core...transfer...start..." The voice inside the head spoke with an almost greedy eagerness.
The massive spherical holographic projection above the console suddenly flickered violently! The shattered model of the city's flooded zone vanished in an instant, replaced by a cascading, high-speed, incomprehensible stream of raw code! A golden, icy torrent of data, like an extension of the will of entropy, surged through the point of contact of my palm, like a river bursting its banks, madly pouring into the depths of the console!
"Stop it!" Jiang Li's roar exploded in the control room! He raised his gun and aimed at my arm! But his finger on the trigger was shaking violently! His eyes were filled with the pain of struggle - underneath was Lin Xi's body!
Just then!
Boom——!!!
The entire data center tower felt like it had been struck by an invisible, cosmic hammer! It tilted violently to one side! The terrifying sound of metal twisting was like the death knell of hell! Outside, the all-consuming black wall finally slammed into the data center's base! The surging waters instantly submerged the lower half of the tower, and the immense impact caused the steel giant to let out a death groan!
Inside the control room, it was like a magnitude 10 earthquake! Everything unsecured was thrown into the air! Huge server cabinets collapsed like dominoes! Broken cables sprayed deadly sparks! Chunks of the ceiling peeled off and fell!
"Ah——!" A team member who was thrown away was unable to dodge and was instantly crushed by the collapsed cabinet, only letting out a short scream!
Seawater! Bone-chillingly cold, reeking of the sea and stained with oil, it rushed like a beast breaching a dam, gushing through cracks in the broken walls, through the blasted ventilation ducts, and through the collapsed elevator shaft gates, madly pouring into the top-floor control room! The water level rose at a visible speed, instantly reaching above the ankles!
A catastrophe is coming!
"Carrier... external impact... overload... logical core transfer... interruption... warning... interruption will result in... permanent... damage to core data..." For the first time, the icy voice in my head trembled violently, resembling a panic! The stream of golden code pouring from the main console became extremely unstable, flickering wildly!
I, sprawled on the icy base of the console, immersed in the rapidly rising, icy water. My consciousness, teetering on the brink of collapse amidst the excruciating pain and the frantic struggle between my two wills, could sense Entropy's anxiety. Like an ancient beast trapped in a sinking cage, it desperately sought to break free! And Lin Xi's consciousness, swamped by the icy water and the excruciating pain, felt like a candle in the wind, poised to die at any moment.
"Lin Xi! Hold on!" Jiang Li's roar pierced through the roar of the sea and the wailing of metal! He struggled to rush towards me amidst the violent shaking and collapsing debris! A broken metal beam, accompanied by a whistling sound, brushed against his scalp and fell, splashing a large amount of water! He only had eyes for me, and his intact hand reached out to me desperately!
However, just when he was about to catch me——
Buzz!
A stream of consciousness, cold and sharp, like a scalpel cutting a nerve, penetrated space again without warning, accurately "hitting" the core of my consciousness! It also hit the logical module of "Entropy" that was on the verge of collapse due to the interruption of transfer!
It’s Chen Si!
This time, there were no coordinates, no instructions.
There is only a pure, cold, constant information like the cosmic background radiation, with a sense of absolute control and a hint of... indescribable "expectation"?
[The carrier has reached its capacity limit. Logical core transfer failed.]
[The physical backup node is about to be flooded.]
['Entropy', your chess game seems to be stuck in a dead end.]
【Release the 'Annihilation' protocol.】
[Let me see, can 'higher-dimensional logic', forced into a desperate situation, tear open a path back to the abyss amidst this lower-dimensional destruction?]
