The cracks on the wall spread like a spider web, and the eerie blue light emanating from them could no longer be described as "fiery"; it was practically a solar flare!
The air inside the entire energy room seemed to be kneaded by an invisible giant hand, making a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound.
Lu Zhaoming's forehead was covered in sweat. The energy level of this thing was definitely beyond the scope!
He quickly activated the "Doomsday Judgment System" scan, and lines of data poured down like a waterfall.
"Psionic energy consumption rate +300%, instability coefficient soars to 97%, countdown to the breakout point—"
Before the system finished reporting, Lu Zhaoming felt the spiritual energy within his body surge outwards like a floodgate opening.
He quickly shut down the leakage of psionic energy, thinking to himself, "This thing can actively plunder?!"
No, we have to think of a way!
He took a deep breath, forced what he thought was a bright and sunny smile (which was actually a bit stiff), and said to Qin Wan'er, who had already fallen into a frenzy, "Secretary Qin, we're all civilized people. There's no need to keep restarting the core and destroying the world, is there? Let's sit down and talk things over."
"Talk?!" Qin Wan'er shrieked, her voice cracking. "What's there to talk about with you? You ruined everything I had! I'll make the entire base pay with its life!"
Lu Zhaoming cursed "crazy woman" in his heart, but his face was still all smiles: "Look, what good will it do you to blow up the base? You'll die too! How about this, you let me go, and I promise I'll never show my face in front of you again. We'll live our separate lives, isn't that wonderful?"
As he spoke, Lu Zhaoming secretly observed the structure inside the energy room.
Pipes, cables, control consoles... every detail flashed through his mind like a film reel.
He was searching, searching for a breakthrough that could deliver a decisive blow.
Qin Wan'er had clearly lost her mind. She couldn't hear Lu Zhaoming's words at all, and just stared at the remote control in her hand, a sick smile on her face: "It's no use, it's all too late! The Azure Core is about to restart, and none of you can escape!"
She trembled as she picked up the remote control and slowly pressed the red button.
"Wait!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, trying to buy time.
However, Qin Wan'er remained unmoved; her finger had already touched the button.
At the critical moment, Lu Zhaoming made a bold decision.
He decided to take a gamble, betting that he could outrun Qin Wan'er's fingers.
"System, activate the 'Special Ability Amplification Module,' power—maximum!"
Instantly, Lu Zhaoming felt as if a powerful electric current had been injected into his body, and every cell was cheering with joy.
He suddenly pushed off the ground and charged towards Qin Wan'er like an arrow released from a bow.
"What?!" Qin Wan'er never expected that Lu Zhaoming would dare to attack first. She exclaimed in surprise, and her finger, which was about to press the button, paused slightly.
Now!
A glint flashed in Lu Zhaoming's eyes, and his right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Qin Wan'er's wrist.
"Snap!"
With a sharp crack, Qin Wan'er's wrist was broken by Lu Zhaoming.
"ah--!"
Qin Wan'er let out a shrill scream, and the remote control in her hand fell to the ground.
Lu Zhaoming had no time to spare for Qin Wan'er. He kicked her away and then grabbed the remote control, slamming it to the ground.
"Bang!"
The remote control was completely broken and rendered unusable.
"You...you actually dared..." Qin Wan'er clutched her broken wrist, glaring at Lu Zhaoming with a ferocious expression.
Lu Zhaoming sneered: "Why wouldn't I dare? To deal with a crazy woman like you, you have to use extraordinary means!"
He looked around and found that the eerie blue light in the energy room was getting stronger and stronger, and the air was getting hotter and hotter.
"It seems we need to resolve this problem as soon as possible."
Lu Zhaoming stretched his limbs and assumed a fighting stance.
Despite her broken wrist, Qin Wan'er did not give up the fight.
She pulled a dagger from her waist and lunged at Lu Zhaoming viciously.
"Go to hell!"
Lu Zhaoming was prepared. He dodged Qin Wan'er's attack by sidestepping and then kicked her in the stomach.
"Hmm—"
Qin Wan'er let out a muffled groan, her body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall.
However, she seemed to feel no pain, struggled to get up, and rushed towards Lu Zhaoming again.
"madman!"
Lu Zhaoming cursed under his breath.
He began using the damaged equipment in the energy room to create chaos.
He kicked over a control panel, smashed several pipes, and tore several cables...
Sparks crackled and popped everywhere, thick smoke billowed, and the entire energy room turned into a chaotic battlefield.
Qin Wan'er had to distract herself from the flying debris and sparks, and her attacks became increasingly sluggish.
Lu Zhaoming noticed that Qin Wan'er had a small remote control hanging from her waist, which was flashing a red light.
What is that?
Lu Zhaoming's heart stirred. He vaguely sensed that the remote control was likely the key device for controlling the energy supply.
He decided to take the risk.
Lu Zhaoming deliberately slowed down, revealing a flaw.
Qin Wan'er seized the opportunity and pounced on Lu Zhaoming.
Lu Zhaoming pretended to be unable to dodge in time and his arm was cut by Qin Wan'er's dagger.
"ah!"
He let out a scream, staggered back a few steps, and deliberately put on a pained expression.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
