Success!
A few suppressed, heavy gasps, filled with ecstasy of surviving the disaster, were heard in the command cabin.
However, there was no trace of joy of victory on Wen Shifei's face.
Her blue steel cat eyes were fixed on another small screen that had just been restored and was displaying the surveillance footage inside the medical cabin.
On the screen, the emergency lighting of the medical cabin has been restored. Under the pale light, I am lying on the metal chair, and my condition is... extremely terrifying!
His body seemed to be imprisoned on the recliner by an invisible force, convulsing violently, with such force that it seemed as if his bones were about to break free! On the surface of his skin, spider-web-like bloodstains were rapidly expanding and deepening, and dark red blood continued to seep out, staining the metal chair beneath him red! The most terrifying thing was the strange golden lines on the back of his neck. At this moment, they were like red-hot irons, emitting a dazzling, blazing golden light like a miniature sun! The light penetrated the skin and the thin blanket, illuminating the entire medical cabin in a golden white! The lines themselves were pulsating and expanding wildly like living blood vessels. One could even see the golden light stream under the skin like boiling lava, rushing wildly upward along the spinal nerves! The target - the brain!
"Carrier...physiological limit...breakthrough...logical containment...on the verge of...collapse...core...forced awakening...protocol...activated..." The icy voice within his skull grew immensely louder, more chaotic, and filled with destructive madness! It was no longer a sleeping behemoth, but a thoroughly enraged, world-destroying demon about to break free from its cage!
"Warning! The vital signs data in the medical cabin are abnormal! The neural activity index has exceeded the threshold! The carrier is about to collapse! The logic core shows signs of forced awakening!" The cold synthetic alarm sounded again!
"Lin Xi!!" Jiang Li turned around abruptly and saw the surveillance footage, his eyes bloodshot! He dropped the weapon console and desperately rushed towards the isolation door of the medical cabin!
"Don't go over there!" Wen Shifei's stern shout was like an icicle, instantly piercing Jiang Li's impulsiveness! She suddenly stood up from the control chair, and with ghostly speed, she instantly blocked Jiang Li and the medical cabin isolation door! For the first time, the blue steel cat's eyes lost all their laziness and playfulness, leaving only a nearly solidified, icy madness!
"She is now a 'logical singularity bomb' that is about to explode! Any energy disturbance that approaches may become the last straw that breaks the camel's back! Do you want 'entropy' to wake up completely and blow us all into elementary particles?!" Wen Shifei's voice was filled with an unquestionable absolute authority and a slight...imperceptible tremor.
"What should we do?! Watch her die?! Watch her turn into that ghost thing?!" Jiang Li roared, his eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and he almost wanted to hit Wen Shifei!
Wen Shifei didn't answer him.
Her gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, was fixed on the surveillance footage inside the medical cabin, and on the wildly pulsating golden lines on the back of my neck, like a living furnace.
Her fingers fell back onto the main console. But this time, it wasn't the virtual keyboard. With a trembling almost reverent, yet filled with destructive determination, her fingertips hovered over a deep black physical button in the center of the console, tightly protected by a special alloy cover and accessible only through dual fingerprint and iris verification.
Next to the button, two cold small words were etched: [Annihilation].
"There's another way..." Wen Shifei's voice deepened, taking on a strange rhythm, like the chanting of an ancient forbidden spell. Her blue-steel cat's eyes reflected the surveillance footage of my body on the verge of collapse, and the blazing golden light behind my neck, like the gates of hell. That light seemed to penetrate the screen, igniting something equally dangerous deep within her pupils.
"The carrier has collapsed... the logic core has been forcibly awakened... it is irreversible..." The cold roar in his head was like a death knell, getting louder and louder. "The 'Annihilation' protocol... is absolutely... forbidden... but... the logic... is contradictory... it cannot be... analyzed... error... error... error..."
"I'm not trying to wake it..." Wen Shifei's fingertips were only a few millimeters away from the dark black [Annihilation] button. The corners of her lips curled up again in that sharp, soul-freezing arc. Each word was pronounced clearly, her voice piercing through the clamor of the alarm like ice beads hitting the metal floor.
"It's to help it... make a choice."
"Or, just be good and quiet and continue to sleep in your 'cell'."
"Or..."
Her fingertips, with the cold determination of announcing the final judgment, slowly and firmly pressed the dark black button that represented absolute taboo and destruction.
"Now, immediately, right away."
"Together with this carrier that is about to collapse..."
"Return to zero."
