Darkness surged in like a tide. Lu Zhaoming squinted, using his superhuman dynamic vision to detect the tiny energy threads in the air.
It felt like I'd fallen into a high-voltage power grid; I felt uncomfortable all over.
"What the hell is this?" Lu Zhaoming couldn't help but complain. This old man in white robes had an endless stream of tricks up his sleeve, one after another, giving no one a chance to breathe.
"Electromagnetic fields? And they even limit superpowers? Do you think this is an X-Men movie?"
Su Li paced anxiously, her alluring face filled with worry: "Lu Zhaoming, Xiao Die's condition is getting worse! She can't hold on much longer!"
Lu Zhaoming could also see that Xiaodie's small body looked as if she had been forcibly squeezed dry, her face was frighteningly pale.
This isn't a laboratory, it's hell on earth!
"Don't panic, Su Li." Lu Zhaoming forced himself to calm down, his mind racing. "Energy source! We need to find the energy source to break this deadlock! Otherwise, we'll all be dead here!"
He activated his "Eye of Judgment," and blue light flashed in his eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Countless streams of data flooded into his mind, analyzing the surrounding energy fluctuations.
He quickly located a faintly flickering node—a control device hidden in a corner, emitting eerie energy fluctuations, like a beating heart, maintaining the operation of the entire energy cage.
"Found it!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, but then his brows furrowed again.
The control device is protected by an invisible barrier that is completely invisible to the naked eye, let alone directly contactable.
That old fellow is as cunning as a fox!
"Holy crap, it even has a protective shield?" Lu Zhaoming couldn't help but swear. "These days, are villains all this meticulous?!"
What to do? We definitely can't just force our way in; this thing looks like it's not to be trifled with.
Lu Zhaoming's eyes darted around and he noticed the scattered metal fragments on the ground.
These are remnants left over from previous battles; perhaps they can come in handy.
"System, scan these fragments and analyze their conductivity!" Lu Zhaoming gave the system the instruction in his mind.
A few seconds later, the system's analysis results came out.
"Ding! Scan complete. The metal fragment has good conductivity and, with simple modifications, can be used as a simple jammer."
"OK! I've decided on you!" Lu Zhaoming picked up a fragment and skillfully fiddled with it in his hand.
His movements were swift, like that of an experienced craftsman meticulously crafting a work of art.
Soon, a simple jammer was completed.
Although it has a rough appearance, it contains powerful energy.
"Hopefully this thing will work!" Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and threw the jammer out with a thud.
The jammer sliced through the air, leaving a spark, and struck the invisible barrier precisely.
"Sizzle—"
A piercing crack of electricity rang out, and a crack appeared in the barrier instantly. Then, it shattered like glass, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.
"It's done!" Su Li exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't be too happy yet!" Lu Zhaoming shouted, his figure moving like lightning as he rushed towards the control device.
He only has one chance, and he must seize it!
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the control device, the sinister voice in the white robe rang out again: "You think you can crack my design so easily? How naive!"
Before he finished speaking, the energy fluctuations suddenly intensified, and the entire server room began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
"Holy crap! They have a backup plan?!" Lu Zhaoming was shocked and quickly steadied himself.
This old guy is definitely not so easy to deal with!
Lu Zhaoming dared not be careless and immediately activated the system's time delay function.
In his eyes, everything around him slowed down, and the trajectory of energy fluctuations became clearly visible.
He carefully observed the changing patterns of the energy fluctuations and discovered that these fluctuations did not originate from the control device, but from a small device in the corner of the computer room.
The device was hidden in the darkness, emitting a faint light, yet it contained terrifying energy.
"There it is!" Lu Zhaoming discovered the real energy source.
At the same time, Xiaodie, who had been weak and powerless, suddenly struggled to stand up.
Her face was pale, and she swayed precariously, but her eyes were unusually firm.
“Let me try…” she said weakly, “I can sense its frequency…”
Lu Zhaoming looked at Xiaodie, a hint of hesitation flashing through his mind.
He didn't know if Xiaodie's ability would actually work, but now they had no other choice.
"Okay! Let's do it together!" Lu Zhaoming nodded, clenching his fist. "Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
He and Xiaodie stood side by side, facing the unknown challenge together.
Xiaodie took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to concentrate, trying to resonate with the frequency of that mysterious device.
A faint blue light reappeared on the surface of her body, flickering like breathing.
Lu Zhaoming sensed that the surrounding energy fluctuations were becoming unstable, as if they were being interfered with in some way.
The two worked together to adjust Xiaodie's special ability frequency, attempting to interfere with the energy source in the opposite direction.
Time passed second by second, and the air seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Finally, at a certain moment, Xiaodie's body suddenly trembled, and a powerful energy erupted from her body, like a volcanic eruption, instantly sweeping through the entire computer room.
