Jumping over the monster’s corpse, Xiang Yang ca to Lu Ren’s side and pointed to the underside of the Wupin Demon, saying, "There are two wounds down here!"
Lu Ren: "..."
Thirty seconds later, Xiang Yang ran his fingers through his ssy short hair and muttered, "What’s the deal, I just casually said a couple of sentences, why so fierce!"
Lu Ren, behind him, wore a blank expression, ignoring Xiang Yang’s complaints, solely on alert to their surroundings. If it weren’t that this place indeed needed Xiang Yang to clear the path, he’d either keep his distance from soone with that mindset or just eliminate them altogether.
After uneventfully passing through two office areas, scattered files along the way, collapsed computers, overturned chairs, broken office desks, and that shocking black-brown dry blood spattered everywhere, all revealed a great uproar had occurred here once.
It wasn’t until they ca to the door marked "Surveillance Center" that Lu Ren looked at the flickering incandescent light in the corridor, the door at the end.
Everything was quiet except for their breathing.
"It seems this was once the domain of the polluted creature," Xiang Yang asserted.
Lu Ren was a bit surprised. "These monsters even know how to divide territories?"
Xiang Yang nodded, approaching the door of the surveillance center, saying, "When these polluted creatures evolve to a certain level, they also, like those wild beasts, vie for their territories."
Lu Ren’s emotions felt a bit off.
"You say they can still evolve?"
"Indeed, thirty years ago, before the official institutions collapsed, a report was released stating that these polluted creatures determine their evolutionary direction based on their habitat."
Xiang Yang glanced at Lu Ren, "Don’t worry, although the speed of these monsters’ evolution is indeed much faster than that of humans, in just several decades, they can’t evolve too much."
Pausing, Xiang Yang took out a nearly worn-out chip card from his pocket and swiped it through the electronic lock of the surveillance center door.
Beep! Beep!
An electronic confirmation sound rang out as the surveillance center door opened in response.
Xiang Yang, delighted, said, "My dad didn’t lie to . With the chip card that ca with his position, one can access the entire base."
Lu Ren casually replied, "Didn’t you just verify super administrator privileges through the main control center computer?"
Xiang Yang: "...After so many years, many facilities are in disrepair, if the fingerprint and iris verification devices are broken, traditional thods won’t work at all."
Lu Ren paused, seemingly unintentionally saying, "Your dagger looks very sharp, didn’t you just call it a super high-frequency cutting blade?"
Xiang Yang’s small face was filled with vigilance, instinctively clutching the knife handle.
"Don’t get any ideas! The super frequency oscillation mode consus a lot of energy, this dagger’s power only supports less than a minute."
Lu Ren snorted, "I don’t care."
The technological level of this Otherworld Ruins is indeed fifty years ahead of the real world. If it hadn’t been destroyed by the Alternate Space Passage, by now, it would probably have embarked on interstellar exploration.
What interested him most was the energy storage technology of that dagger. If brought back, it could definitely sell for a good price, and as for keeping it privately, Lu Ren wasn’t thinking much; human energy is limited.
Choosing a path of technological mastery or brute power is a question worth pondering.
Both quickly entered the surveillance center. Lu Ren looked at the completely dark screens and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "Looks like this surveillance center has ceased operation, huh."
"Then let’s get it started up!"
Xiang Yang confidently walked to the control panel, then fell silent before the buttons below.
Lu Ren wondered, "What’s going on?"
Xiang Yang: "...I’m brewing."
Lu Ren asked with concern, "Why do you have to brew, is it because you can’t do it?"
Xiang Yang’s face flushed, "Wha...what do you an I can’t, definitely not, it’s just that after all these years, many traces have faded, alright!"
Lu Ren stepped forward, took a careful look, and slightly shook his head, "Alright, you study this first, I’ll take a break."
Just now, battling that Wupin Demon had taken a lot out of him, leaving his spirit a little weary.
Confirming the surveillance center door was closed, Lu Ren went to a corner to eat sothing and rested quietly, allowing Xiang Yang to fiddle around.
Three hours later, having been in a light sleep and secretly setting up a simple alarm around, Lu Ren was suddenly awakened by Xiang Yang’s voice.
"It’s done, successful! I knew it, I’m a genius, as I said!"
Lu Ren looked up, seeing full screen flickering lights starting to appear along with a boot-up interface.
Then Xiang Yang shouted, "Qingxu, report the base status!"
A calm male voice ca through.
"Hello, Super Commander, at the Haizhou Experint Center base, the energy is sufficient. Most facilities and equipnt have been shut down or put in standby mode by after confirmation of no manual operation. All functions in the office area, except ergency lighting and ventilation, have been shut down. All project equipnt in the research project area is shut down. The high-energy particle accelerator layer has stopped operation, material stock status is good, and the powertrain device is in good operating condition."
Lu Ren stood up and asked, "Who is this?"
"Hello Commander, I am Haizhou Experint Center Base’s mainfra AI, codenad Qingxu."
An AI?!
The AI technology in this world seems a bit too advanced.
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow but said nothing more, quietly watching Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang, increasingly proud, winking at Lu Ren, began to operate the entire surveillance center under Qingxu’s guidance.
Lu Ren couldn’t help but glance at the surveillance cara in a corner of the ceiling.
Assuming nothing unexpected, the mainfra AI, codenad Qingxu, is connected to the entire experint center base, surveillance, equipnt, and possibly even weapon alert, etc.
aning the entire experint center base is under the opponent’s control.
Lu Ren’s eyes flickered slightly but said nothing further.
When the entire base’s surveillance system finished launching, Lu Ren, a bit surprised, noticed none of the surveillance equipnt was damaged.
"It’s been fifty or sixty years, and it still works?"
Except for an initial round of unstable current causing the screen to flicker, there was no other abnormal issue.
Without turning around, Xiang Yang stared at the screen, "These are military products, if the quality were compromised, they’d be sealed and have a bullet to eat.
"Found it, found it!!"
Xiang Yang, thrilled, pointed to the central surveillance screen which showed the central collision position of the third-level high-energy particle accelerator device.
There, a blue-glowing oval light ring was suspended in the middle.
Lu Ren’s heart slightly trembled.
"Is this the Alternate Space Passage?"
"Yes, that’s right!"
Xiang Yang intently watched the screen, the initial joy flickered briefly, but what remained was a forcibly maintained calmness, her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes turned a bit red.
Lu Ren was constantly observing the changes in Xiang Yang’s emotions.
This girl is acting quite strange!
