The earth was shaking more and more violently, as if a giant beast was turning over underground.
Inside the ruins, a light blue energy field began to flicker, like a candle flame swaying in the wind.
Ye Ling's face was solemn, and she grabbed Duan Yu's arm, "It's not an external invasion, it's... the internal structure!"
Although the reconstructed ruins are magnificent, under Ye Ling's special vision, some key building structures are showing unstable red alerts.
These tiny cracks and dislocations may seem insignificant to ordinary people, but in Ye Ling's eyes, they are like time bombs buried under the gorgeous shell, which may explode at any time and turn everything into nothing.
"Oh no..." Ye Ling murmured, a shadow cast over her heart.
Lucian came in a hurry. He originally came to celebrate the successful reconstruction, but he didn't expect to encounter such a change.
"What happened? Was there an earthquake?" His face turned pale and he looked at the crumbling ruins with great anxiety.
"It's not an earthquake," Ye Ling pointed to the depths of the ruins. "There's something wrong with the internal structure. I noticed some places weren't stable before, and now it seems the situation is even worse than I thought."
“What?!” Lucian’s face instantly turned even uglier when he heard that. “You discovered it before? Why didn’t you report it earlier?!” His voice was filled with questioning and anger.
"I..." Ye Ling was speechless for a moment. She had indeed discovered the problem before, but considering that the reconstruction work had reached the final stage and those problems did not seem serious, she did not report it immediately, thinking of repairing it slowly after the reconstruction was completed.
“You’re neglecting your duties!” Lucian rebuked him mercilessly. “Do you realize the damage this will cause? Do you realize how much effort this will undo?!”
The colleagues around also began to whisper, looking at Ye Ling with eyes full of suspicion and accusations.
Wei En even offered unabashed sarcasm, "I knew she wasn't up to the task. How could such an important mission be entrusted to a newcomer? Now look what's happened!"
Ye Ling felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Duan Yu noticed that Ye Ling was acting strangely, and gently held her hand, giving her silent comfort.
"Now is not the time to assign blame," Ashe said solemnly. "The most urgent task is to find a solution and prevent the ruins from collapsing."
Tai Long also agreed: "Yes, Ye Ling, since you have discovered the problem, you must also know the solution, right?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ling, with both expectation and doubt.
Ye Ling took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability and anxiety in her heart, and forced herself to calm down.
"Give me a moment," she said gravely, "I need to reassess the situation."
“Time?” Lucian sneered. “What we lack most right now is time!”
Suddenly, a loud noise came from deep within the ruins, and the light blue energy field flashed violently, and then...
disappeared.
“Oh no!” Ezreal exclaimed, “The energy field collapsed!”
Ye Ling suddenly raised her head and looked into the depths of the ruins.
"Duan Yu..." she said softly.
"I'm here." Duan Yu held her hand tightly, giving her strength.
"Take me to the core control room..."
In the core control room of the ruins, the alarms sounded sharp and shrill, and the red lights flashed wildly, as if the end of the world had come.
Ye Ling took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in her body, and a faint golden light appeared in her eyes.
In her eyes, the originally complex architectural structure diagram turned into a clear energy flow line, as intricate as the meridians of the human body.
"The problem lies in the connection point of the energy hub," Ye Ling pointed at the flashing red dot on the screen. "The materials used in the reconstruction are slightly different from the original ones, resulting in reduced energy conduction efficiency and ultimately causing energy overload."
Ezreal pushed his glasses, his eyes full of surprise, "So that's how it is! Miss Ye Ling, your understanding of ancient alien civilizations is really admirable!" He had doubts about Ye Ling's abilities before, but now he looks at her with admiration.
"Ye Ling" Duan Yu stood beside Ye Ling and supported her firmly.
His powerful aura instantly shocked everyone present, including the previously aggressive Lucian.
"I need a special energy stabilizer," Ye Ling continued, ignoring the surrounding discussions. "Only it can repair the defects of the connection points and stabilize the energy field."
"Energy stabilizer? What is that?" Lucian looked confused.
"I know where it is," Duan Yu suddenly said, "Come with me." He took Ye Ling's hand and walked out without looking back.
Ye Ling looked back at everyone, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "Wait for me to come back and watch the show!"
The two came to a hidden warehouse. Duan Yu activated the complex combination lock, and the heavy metal door slowly opened, revealing a wide variety of high-tech equipment inside.
"How... do you have these things?" Ye Ling asked in surprise.
Duan Yu smiled slightly. He found a silver metal box from a pile of equipment and said, "This is it."
Back in the core control room, Ye Ling injected the energy stabilizer into the energy hub. The originally flickering red dot gradually returned to normal, and the shrill alarm sound gradually subsided.
"It's done!" everyone cheered.
Lucian walked up to Ye Ling, his tone apologetic, "I was wrong about you before, Ye Ling, your abilities are indeed outstanding."
Ye Ling smiled faintly, "It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them."
"Ye Ling," Duan Yu walked to her side and looked at her gently, "Are you okay?"
