“Buzz!”
It wasn't a sound from the physical world, but one that directly affected all connected devices and the nerve endings of everyone present! A terrifying force, indescribable in words, composed purely of will and data, erupted with Su Wan as its origin!
On the Honeycomb main screen, the all-encompassing, viscous dark red that symbolized Undercurrent's victory was instantly pierced by a beam of blue light that appeared out of nowhere, so dazzling it was impossible to look directly at! The beam wasn't static, but rather comprised of countless rapidly flowing, dizzyingly complex blue data runes and energy streams. They roared and surged, carrying a powerful will to crush everything, swimming upstream!
Wherever the blue beam passed, the dark red data stream, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, emitted a silent, mournful "sizzle," instantly vaporizing and dissipating! It wasn't simply a purge; it was more like a higher-dimensional presence, a sheer formatting of low-dimensional junk data! The blue torrent swept through, following every data link left by the "undercurrent" attack, tracing its source and recoiling at a speed beyond human comprehension!
"Five...four..."
The electronic countdown sound was still mechanically counting, but the scene on the main screen had been completely changed.
Several virtual nodes representing the source of the "Undercurrent" attack, like detonated fireworks, exploded continuously on the screen under the precise blows of the blue torrent! Each explosion meant the complete destruction of a carefully placed physical node in the real world, and all the data and equipment within it were completely annihilated into electronic dust by the domineering blue data flow!
"three……"
On the screen, the dark red color representing the invasion of the "undercurrent" was like dirty oil paint swept away by a strong wind. It was dispersed, covered, and swallowed up by the pure and vast blue at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"two……"
The crimson countdown covering the command, just as it was about to jump to "1," froze as if a giant invisible hand had grabbed its throat! Then, the glaring crimson numbers began to flicker wildly, twisting and distorting, and finally, with a soft "poof," like a fragile soap bubble, they were completely annihilated by the vast ocean of blue light that engulfed the entire screen!
"one……"
The final note of the electronic countdown was ultimately drowned out by a strange, majestic "data tide." That sound didn't travel through the air, but resonated directly within the consciousness of everyone connected to the internet and wearing a device, like the first pulse of the universe at its dawn.
“Buzz—boom—!”
The blue light on the main screen reached its peak, illuminating the entire "Hive" operations hall like a crystal palace. The three-dimensional diagram representing the Ark's core database had not only been fully restored, but its outlines were even clearer and more condensed than before, radiating a nearly tangible, vibrant blue aura. All alarm icons vanished, and the system status bar was a vibrant emerald green.
The "Undercurrent" attack, along with all traces it left behind, was completely erased, as if it had never existed.
Dead silence.
Absolute silence enveloped the entire combat hall.
All the alarms vanished, leaving only the low hum of the equipment's cooling fans returning to a steady rhythm, and the heavy, suppressed breathing of dozens of people. A sense of emptiness, a sense of survival, filled everyone's mind. They stared blankly at the brand-new main screen, bathed in a tranquil yet powerful blue light, as if beholding a miracle.
I don't know who it was, but the first suppressed sob uttered, and then it was as if a fuse had been lit.
"Woo... blocked it... We blocked it!"
"Oh my God...what kind of power is that...Director Su..."
"We won! We won! 'Undercurrent' was defeated!"
A roar of ecstasy, powerful enough to blow the roof off the ground, erupted like a volcano that had been simmering for a long time! Some people jumped up excitedly, hugging their colleagues, whether they knew them or not; some slammed their consoles, venting their ecstasy at having survived the ordeal; some collapsed in their chairs, covering their faces, their shoulders shaking violently, weeping with joy. Technical Director Ajie, a man whose face had been ashen just moments before, now pumped his fists vigorously, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he shouted in Su Wan's direction, "Director Su! This is amazing! You are our guardian angel!"
The entire hall erupted in excitement! The immense joy of surviving the ordeal and the awe of Su Wan's godlike power mingled, forming a wave of enthusiasm. Countless gazes, filled with gratitude, admiration, and a hint of indescribable fear, focused on the figure at the center of the podium.
Su Wan remained standing, her long hair falling slowly. The subtle arcs of blue electricity around her had vanished. The inhuman divine presence in her eyes receded like a tide, revealing Su Wan's own clear, tinged with a hint of fatigue and bewilderment. However, the icy coldness that penetrated her bones had not completely dissipated, etched like a brand deep within her soul. The destructive force that had just erupted seemed to have drained some of the warmth from her body.
The being within her that had just unleashed a torrent of devastation now conveyed a strange sense of "satisfaction," as if she had tasted a long-lost delicacy. This feeling made her stomach churn. She subconsciously raised her hand, her fingertips cold, and gently pressed against her throbbing temple, trying to suppress the dizziness and throbbing deep within her soul caused by the excessive release of power.
"Director Su! How are you?" Ajie was the first to rush over, his face still flushed with excitement, his eyes full of concern and a fanaticism that bordered on a believer's. "Just now...just now, that was simply a miracle! You..."
