As long as we rescue Lin, everything will be fine!
That’s what Fang Zheng thought.
but……
"MMP, this is such a crap game."
Back in the cold steel cell again, Fang Zheng's face was ashen, and Karen next to him looked as if she was burned out.
It was no wonder that they were so depressed, because after that, Fang Zheng and Karen tried several more times in a row, but none of them succeeded.
The second time, when Sakura came to find them, Fang Zheng directly revealed that Rin was on the 33rd floor underground, thinking that it should be okay. But halfway through, they were stopped by the idiot named Kevin. Fang Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he picked up the sword and chopped at her, and then asked Sakura to take Kallen to continue moving forward.
As a result... after that, Rin died again.
So we started over again, and this time Fang Zheng said he would not follow the NPC's plot anymore, we would go and rescue them ourselves!
Oh, then you stirred up a hornet's nest.
Ying was able to open those doors because she was a warrior of the Fire Moth, but Fang Zheng and Kallen were experimental subjects in this dream. So when Fang Zheng and Kallen walked out of the first door, the alarm was triggered, and then a bunch of robots came up to cause trouble. Then Fang Zheng and Kallen used their invincibility to kill all the way to the 33rd floor underground, but they were still a step too late, and Rin died again.
After calming down, Fang Zheng thought hard and decided to find out what exactly triggered Rin's death, or how long she would die. So after that, the two of them conducted several more experiments and finally figured out the conditions for Rin's death.
According to Kevin's previous records, Rin was killed by someone inside the Fire Moth. So when did the other person arrive? When was Rin killed?
After further investigation, they came to the conclusion that Rin's death should be within ten minutes after the two of them started the "game". In other words, Fang Zheng and Kallen must rush to the 33rd floor underground within ten minutes, rescue Rin before the fire moth guy kills her, and then let her reunite with Sakura and leave here.
"We... need to... do this... a few more times..."
Karin was now lying on the ground and couldn't get up. The reason was very simple. In the last reincarnation, Fang Zheng went to check on Rin's body, but Sakura, who came rushing over, mistook them for Rin's murderer and chased Karin for two blocks with a knife. Now Karin could no longer run.
“We have to change our approach.”
Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.
"It's obviously impossible to rescue Rin using conventional methods. You see, based on our previous raids, we have to face several obstacles to reach the 33rd floor where Rin is. The first is the security robot, and the second is Kevin, the idiot. Then add in the time it takes to run away, and the time it takes for the elevator to run automatically. No matter how we calculate it, we can barely get there in ten minutes at most..."
At this point, Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly. He finally understood how Zhizunbao felt when he used the Moonlight Box to load the save file to save Bai Jingjing. That was really Demacia, Demacia... NO!!!!!!
Fortunately, Rin did not commit suicide.
"So, there's no way to save Rin?"
"No, there has to be a way."
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"The purpose of this dream is to make Sakura despair. However, if Rin must die, then it is not called despair."
It's like a player playing a hostage rescue game. If he knows from the beginning that the hostage is dead, then what's the point of playing?
Just delete the game and get a refund.
It is because the hostages are not dead that players will try various tactics over and over again.
At present, the conventional routine is useless, so...
"We have no choice but to ask them to send Rin to us."
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Karen was stunned for a moment.
"What does this mean? Send Rin over here?"
"It's simple. We won't have enough time to look for her on our own, and it would be too much trouble. The other party could easily kill Rin at this moment. But if I ask them to send Rin to us, then there won't be any problem, right? According to previous records, the decision to kill Rin was made by some idiot inside the Fire Moth. So as long as we have more people around Rin, this idiot won't be able to do it?"
"But...what are you going to do?"
"There is only one way."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"You remember how the Herrscher of Corrosion destroyed the three remaining cities of humanity after Rin's death."
"Hey...it looks like she hacked into a weapon called a nuclear bomb and launched it at three cities?"
"That's right."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"This time, we will invade the nuclear missile launch system and threaten the Fire Moth. If they don't bring Rin to me, we will launch a nuclear bomb and destroy their city!!"
“…Huh???”
Hearing this, Kallen was completely confused.
"Wait, wait... Is this... possible?"
"We'll know whether it works or not after we try it. Anyway, we've tried all the conventional methods, so now we have to take an unusual approach."
"Can……"
Facing Fang Zheng's proposal, Karen looked conflicted. She had never thought of this method. It was really...
"Wait, if they don't send Rin here, you will really destroy their city?"
"Of course not. If they don't send Rin here, they'll just have to wait for the Herrscher to revive and do it himself."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"So are you going to do it or not? We don't have any other options now. You won't get pregnant if you give it a try, what do you think?"
"Pregnant..."
Hearing this, Karen's face turned red, she glared at Fang Zheng fiercely, snorted lightly and said nothing.
Just assume that she agrees.
So the two of them sneaked out of the cell again, and then came to the control room on this floor - Fang Zheng would not take the elevator again, because the speed of the elevator was fixed, which was very troublesome. Besides, this time he and others were here to be robbers, so there was no need to do those troublesome things.
Arriving at the control room, Fang Zheng and Kallen knocked out the guards in the control room in a few moves. After tying them up and throwing them aside, Fang Zheng came to the control console.
"Okay, you know what to do next. Once I hack into this system, they will most likely find out, so what you have to do is buy me some time as quickly as possible."
In the previous operations, Fang Zheng had discovered that this world was quite good at electronic technology. Although his personal terminal could bypass most systems, it could only use brute force to crack encrypted information. Of course, this was not to say that it could not be cracked, but once brute force was used, the other party would immediately find out. That was why Fang Zheng asked Kallen to guard the gate. As long as he had the nuclear missile launch system, he would have more confidence in negotiating with the organization called the Fire Moth.
If only the little angel was here, she is the natural enemy of all information networks, and Fang Zheng... is still a little bit inferior.
It was going smoothly at first, but when it came to the underlying protocol for nuclear missile launch, it couldn't get through. So Fang Zheng didn't care and just pressed the keyboard. The next moment, great effort was made to create a miracle! !
“Beep—beep—!”
As the firewall of the nuclear missile launch system was violently cracked, the entire base soon began to sound urgent alarms. At the same time, Kallen, who was guarding the door, also shouted.
"Those guard robots are coming!"
After following Fang Zheng to replay the game so many times, Karin has a more or less idea of what these things are.
"Stop them!!"
Fang Zheng continued to charge forward without looking back while giving orders, and Karin reached into her bosom and took out a gun, aiming at the robot in front of her and pulling the trigger - her weapon "Judas's Oath" was far away at the Savior Headquarters. This was the fairy bow she had picked up before escaping the headquarters, so it was fine as long as it could be used.
The other side seemed to have noticed Fang Zheng's intention, and began to set up defenses in a hurry. However, as the saying goes, force can defeat skill, Fang Zheng's simple and crude attack mode instantly defeated the firewall set up by the other side. Then he quickly seized the opportunity to master the entire nuclear missile launch system, and then completely sealed the entire launch cabin to prevent this group of people from using manual means to solve the problem.
Just when Karen was knocked back, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the white-haired Kevin who stepped into the door and reached out his hand to the personal terminal.
"Everyone, don't move! If you dare to move again, I will immediately launch a nuclear bomb and completely destroy all your cities!!"
“…”
Hearing this, Kevin really stopped. He held the sword in his hand and looked at Fang Zheng with an uncertain expression. Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the white-haired man in front of him with a leisurely smile. Finally, Kevin gritted his teeth, stepped back, and stared at Fang Zheng.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want you to bring the 12th Herrscher Rin and her sister Sakura to us immediately. They must be alive. If one of them dies... you know the result."
"What on earth do you want to do?"
At this moment, a woman's voice was heard from the loudspeaker. Fang Zheng knew without asking that it must be the "Dr. Mei" because her voice was basically the same as Mei's.
But Mei's tone was much gentler than hers.
"Who are you anyway?"
"We are from the Endangered Lawsmen Protection Association."
Fang Zheng just spoke nonsense.
"Our goal is to protect every Herrscher who is born, to prevent them from being attacked and killed... So are you willing to accept our terms? I'll only give you five minutes. If you don't see the sisters within five minutes, then I'm sorry, you will soon have nothing worth protecting."
"…Do you know what you are doing?"
Kevin stared at Fang Zheng intently, his eyes gleaming with flames of anger.
"The Herrscher will bring harm to humanity. What you are doing is destroying the last hope of humanity!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, there will be no hope of protection."
Fang Zheng was too lazy to chat with Kevin, the idiot, and just waved his right hand.
"Four minutes and thirty seconds left."
“…”
"I see."
Just when Kevin was about to say something else, Dr. Mei's voice sounded again.
"I will send someone to bring the sisters here immediately."
"Dr. May!?"
Kevin looked at the monitor, but there was no response. This made him grit his teeth and look at Fang Zheng fiercely again.
"Oh, how terrible, how terrible."
Looking at Kevin like this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"I advise you to stay away from us, Mr. Kevin. Your eyes are so scary. If you scare me into pressing the launch button, that would be bad for everyone, wouldn't it?"
"you--!!"
Kevin tightly grasped the sword in his hand, looking as if he couldn't wait to fight Fang Zheng to the death. However, Fang Zheng just laughed and looked at Kevin leisurely.
The man called Dr. Mei was obviously very fast. In less than two minutes, Fang Zheng saw Ying and Lin. They walked out of the crowd in confusion and looked at Fang Zheng and Kallen, obviously not knowing what was going on.
"Hello, Miss Sakura and Miss Rin."
Fang Zheng smiled and waved at the two of them.
"We are from the Endangered Lawyer Protection Association. I am relieved to see that you are all right. So please follow us and leave this damn place."
"etc!"
However, at this moment, Kevin spoke again.
"We have brought them to you as agreed, but this does not mean we will let you leave here! The Herrscher is a threat to all of humanity, and we absolutely cannot let her leave!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will launch a nuclear bomb?"
"Of course, but..."
Before Kevin could finish his words, the whole room suddenly went dark, and then the emergency lights came on.
"Well, I knew it would be like this."
Fang Zheng put down his personal terminal and silently drew out his sword. Karin, on the other hand, was a little surprised and looked at Fang Zheng in confusion.
"Wait, what's going on..."
"They cut off the energy supply to the entire base. It's obvious that they're using whatever means to tie up the Herrscher... This is also normal. No bank robber can escape unscathed after a robbery."
Having said this, Fang Zheng clenched his sword and stared at Kevin in front of him. Kevin also raised the flaming sword in his hand and stared at him.
"Get ready, Kallen, the next level is Hell difficulty."
