"Oh no, oh no, I...we are surrounded!"
Just as they were still celebrating their success, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside, the voice full of fear and anxiety.
The few people who were in the control room just now ran over with their faces as pale as paper and trembling all over.
At this moment, one of them was extremely panicked, his mouth wide open, gasping for breath, and stammering, "Young... Young Master, now... now there are a lot of people gathered outside. They have surrounded the hospital. Even... even our doctors..."
Before he could finish his words, Jue Lingran's eyes widened, a hint of anxiety flashing across his face. Without hesitation, he quickly walked towards the control room. Seeing this, Xie Qi and Lu Chiyan followed closely behind him.
When they arrived at the control room, they quickly called up the surveillance video. The scene on the screen made everyone gasp.
At this moment, the outside was already surrounded by dense crowds of people. At a glance, it seemed that the residents of the entire city had gathered here.
Their eyes were hollow, as if they had lost their souls, their gazes dull and indifferent. Each person's steps were mechanical, moving forward step by step, as if controlled by some invisible force. It was clear that these people had been controlled, becoming puppets without their own consciousness.
At this moment, Lu Chiyan's brain suddenly rang with a crisp notification tone. Lu Chiyan immediately opened it and the contact displayed on the screen was Lu Bu.
He quickly clicked the answer button, and then he heard Lu Bu's anxious voice: "Master! Where are you and your wife now? There are many people gathered outside the Lu family's gate, and they want to break into our house."
Lu Chiyan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he replied calmly, "Don't worry about my safety. Just take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu quickly responded: "Okay, Patriarch, please rest assured, I will definitely protect the Lu family."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, Lu Chiyan decisively cut off communication with him. However, at this moment, he noticed a large number of new message alerts popping up on the intelligent computer screen.
The senders of these messages, without exception, were all people who opposed Shen Yanze like Lu Chiyan. Obviously, they also noticed the abnormality of the external situation and asked Lu Chiyan about his situation, hoping to get his help.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Lu Chiyan was also trapped in the basement of the hospital.
Jue Lingran, standing by, saw the terrifying scene before him, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He muttered to himself in horror, "Why is this happening?! How many people can he control?!"
Lu Chiyan frowned tightly and speculated solemnly, "Perhaps he has realized that Yun Youyi is no longer under his control."
Xie Qi continued Lu Chiyan's words and said, "More than half of the people in the Federation should have implanted chips. The outside world may be more dangerous than we imagined."
After hearing their words, everyone present fell silent, with expressions of despair and helplessness on their faces. They had originally thought that as long as they cracked the virus, they could help others regain their sanity, but now it seemed that things were far from that simple.
There are so many people in the Federation, how can they all undergo surgery? Do they have to capture them one by one and force them to undergo surgery? That's a joke, it's impossible.
However, compared to the despair of others, Xie Qi seemed unusually calm at this moment, his eyes fixed on everything happening on the screen.
Then he looked at Lu Chiyan beside him, raised his lips slightly, and said half-jokingly: "Wife, look at the scene outside, does it look like a zombie siege?"
Lu Chiyan reached out and gently held Xie Qi's hand. Xie Qi felt the warmth from his palm and immediately responded by tightening his grip.
"It's true that they are a bit similar, but there are still differences." Lu Chiyan replied softly.
"That's right, zombies are just walking corpses with no vital signs, and you can kill them if you want. But these people are obviously still alive, their minds are just being controlled by someone..." Xie Qi frowned and his tone became serious.
"This situation is more difficult to deal with than before. We can't hurt them easily, but we have to find a way to get past them..." Xie Qi couldn't help but sigh.
However, after hearing Xie Qi's words, Lu Chiyan tightened his grip a little more, as if he had made up his mind. He looked at him firmly and said calmly, "I'll go to the Star Tower with you."
When Xie Qi heard this, he was stunned. He was a little surprised that Lu Chiyan actually knew where he was going.
But when he saw the determination in Lu Chiyan's eyes, he was moved. He sighed, hugged Lu Chiyan tightly in his arms, and said softly with a gentle tone, "Okay, let's go together."
If they wanted to end this disaster, they had to remove the virus program implanted in the chip by Shen Yanze. But performing surgery on everyone was simply a fantasy and impossible to achieve.
However, for now, the only viable solution is to go to the Star Tower and solve this problem from the root. After all, the final destination of every chip implanted in the human body is the intelligent brain center located in the Star Tower.
Therefore, as long as they can successfully enter the main system and insert the chip into it, it will be possible to modify the program code that has been tampered with by Shen Yangze, thereby saving those controlled humans.
"You...you really want to go?!" After listening to Xie Qi's plan, Jue Lingran knew in his heart that this was indeed the only solution at the moment, but he still couldn't help but feel worried.
"Is there a better way than this?"
