The alarm in the control room was suddenly frozen in the air.
Mou Xuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the suspended ice spikes. The edges that pierced his palms instantly poured the defense data of twelve parallel time and space into his retina - three kilometers to the northwest, an electromagnetic pulse beam would penetrate the permafrost in fifty-seven seconds.
"Engineer Yin!" He threw an ice spike at the edge of the operating table, "adjust the frequency of the resonance device to 13.79 MHz, now!" The engineer, who was entangled in the nerve bundle, twitched violently, and his bloody fingers drew bloody wavy lines on the control screen.
Expert Xing used a mechanical arm to tear open the protective armor on his chest, revealing a chest cavity inlaid with a hexagonal energy core: "That damn main gun needs seven seconds to charge, give me three seconds!" His broken metal finger directly inserted into the interface of the central control system, and the sights of twenty-seven defensive turrets simultaneously oozed icy blue liquid.
Chen Yao's mycelium network suddenly grew wildly on the metal ground, and light blue lines followed the cracks in Expert Xing's mechanical arm and drilled into the energy core.
Twelve suspended ice crystal prisms exploded with a loud bang, and the flying fragments formed a dynamic star map around Mou Xuan - that was the trajectory of the collapse of the defense in the southeast corner of the base seven minutes later.
"Tear down the east wall!" Mou Xuan's pupils split into a hexagonal honeycomb, reading the data streams of seven timelines at the same time.
He grabbed Chen Yao's ice crystal dagger and inserted it into the operating table. The collapsed starry sky reflected on the blade suddenly materialized into a three-dimensional projection: "Reroute the liquid nitrogen pipeline in the underground cold storage to Defense Tower No. 3!"
Yin Gong suddenly let out a wild beast-like howl.
Silver-blue colloid substance gushed out of the wound where his nerve bundle was connected. The substance invaded the defense system in reverse along the control screen circuit and froze the overloaded energy core into an ice sculpture.
Expert Xing took the opportunity to tear off two of his mechanical ribs, quenched them into a miniature neutron jammer and threw it to the northwest.
The entire base was suddenly filled with the groaning sound of glaciers rubbing against each other.
The ice spikes behind Mou Xuan's ears were all pointing to the ceiling, and the thirty-meter-thick permafrost was decomposing into a flowing particle model in his pupils.
Chen Yao suddenly stumbled and grabbed his wrist, and the mycelial network formed a glowing nebula totem around her neck - a sign that the space-time anchor point was about to collapse.
"There is still 42% correction rate left!" Yin Gong's entire right arm turned into an ice crystal structure, and his voice was filled with the noise of metallic resonance, "The backup energy can only support..."
Mou Xuan suddenly ripped open the collar of his combat uniform, revealing a vortex of space and time spinning at his heart.
Chen Yao's mycelium was like a group of sharks that smelled blood, and it madly drilled into the crack that was emitting a faint blue light.
Twenty-three future scenes flashed simultaneously on all the screens in the control room, seventeen of which showed Expert Xing melting his own mechanical heart.
"Bet on the eighth second!" Expert Xing suddenly used his teeth to tear open his left eyelid, revealing the antimatter calibrator hidden behind the eyeball. "The damned main gun still has energy left..."
A deafening roar exploded from three hundred meters underground.
Chen Yao saw that the mycelium on her wrist was devouring the metal of the operating table. Those light blue veins were quantum entangled with Mou Xuan's space-time vortex, weaving a star map that was constantly collapsing and reorganizing between the two of them.
Engineer Yin suddenly smashed his ice-crystal head against the control console, and the flying fragments condensed into a honeycomb-shaped defense matrix in the air.
When the seventh ice crystal prism reassembled, Mou Xuan grasped the only way to survive in the chaotic afterimage of time.
He dug out the hexagonal core from Expert Xing's chest with his bare hands, and the blood stained with metal fragments dripped onto Shen Yao's mycelium web, instantly catalyzing the formation of a lavender protective film covering the entire base.
"Report the loss!" Mou Xuan's voice echoed with overlapping time and space.
Energy lines like glacier veins suddenly appeared under his feet, and those lines were frantically devouring the star coordinates in Chen Yao's spider silk network.
The temperature in the control room suddenly dropped to minus eighty degrees Celsius, but the ice crystals condensed in the air strangely began to arrange themselves.
Chen Yao suddenly fell to her knees, and the mycelial network formed a nebula vortex on her back that was about to collapse.
Her trembling fingertips touched the frost on Mou Xuan's combat boots, and the frost flowers immediately revealed warning runes that the liquid nitrogen reserves in the underground cold storage were only 3.7% left.
(Continued from the previous article)
Chen Yao's mycelium weaved a light blue light net on the ceiling of the medical cabin, and the nerve impulses of the seventeen wounded were throbbing in her temples along the mycelium veins.
She wiped the condensation that splashed on her chin, and suddenly there was a slight tremor on the metal ground - the liquid nitrogen pipeline of Defense Tower No. 3 was operating at overload again.
"Cut the backup energy of the cryochamber!" She kicked aside the mechanical wreckage that was blocking her way. The moment the end of the mycelium pierced the control panel, five red warnings exploded on her retina.
The blood-stained combat gloves suddenly covered her hands, and the new recruit Kobayashi's trembling fingertips were pressing the torn protective suit against her bleeding abdomen.
"Sister Yao..." The mycelium interface on the boy's neck glowed with an abnormal purple light, "My body temperature regulation module..."
A hexagonal data stream flashed in Chen Yao's pupils, and the hyphae suddenly grew and wrapped around the boy's neck.
When she tore off the man's protective suit, she discovered that the metal veins in the subcutaneous tissue were covered with ice crystals - it was space-time radiation contamination.
The alarms in the medical bay suddenly rang collectively, and the light net on the ceiling was dyed blood red.
"Everyone retreat ten meters!" She shouted at the medical soldiers who were about to surround him, and her fingertips twisted the boy's wrist.
When the lavender protective film seeped out from the mycelium network, she heard the sound of her back teeth grinding - these children were supposed to be on duty in the greenhouse planting area, but now they were urgently transferred because of the defense gap.
The metal wall suddenly reflected a distorted blue light, and Chen Yao turned around abruptly.
