Chapter 250: Chapter 211 There’s Really a Problem_1

There was no bargaining or other intent, purely for the sake of sabotage...

Where Zheng Yichen had been, he had indeed physically cut off the energy supply to prevent this guy from causing trouble, but he directly deployed the electronic virus to the areas he passed through, which was unexpected and indefensible. By the time the most remote areas restored their energy supply, they were directly infected.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t conducted searches, but there was no time for thorough checks. Most of their combat power was deployed to intercept Zheng Yichen. Slow checks? Zheng Yichen would be long gone. His speed was very fast, and the power outage blockades were hard pressed to contain him.

"We can’t contain the virus anymore!" A group of engineers were buzzing with panic. This virus shouldn’t have been so powerful with any other kind, something they could easily handle, but this virus was too evil, almost as if it had a will of its own.

Elsewhere, Zheng Yichen was completely intercepted. There were still many experts in the base. However, when facing Zheng Yichen with a special ability interference device, after being intercepted, Zheng Yichen immediately abandoned the box he had been carrying.

A female Special Ability User in a bodysuit looked surprised. After she got hold of the box, she quickly moved away from Zheng Yichen. They remembered the fate of a previous colleague very clearly; the special ability interference device didn’t limit Zheng Yichen as much.

"The box is fine." Another Special Ability User directly raised their hand to open the box remotely, and inside were two more virus dissemination devices.

"I brought plenty of these." Zheng Yichen said to those Special Ability Users who were glaring at him. The device wasn’t high-tech at all. As long as there were materials, Chiang Wei could make a bunch of them. What mattered wasn’t the device itself, but the virus it contained, and the virus could be replicated in large quantities.

If Zheng Yichen carried a spatial tool on him, it wouldn’t matter if there were four or forty; he could take them out. Meanwhile, they also received new information that these things were useless now. The signal that came through was very rough and shaky, obviously due to an unstable channel.

"You’re such a bastard!" A young girl glared at Zheng Yichen, furious, "You’ve destroyed the Heartblood of everyone here!"

The other party roared. Zheng Yichen felt the air wall in front of him change shape, attacking him like needles. It wasn’t a physical attack but a mental shock.

It was hard to evade, but Zheng Yichen just felt like his head had been knocked. The Special Ability User girl with some kind of psychic power let out a muffled hum, slumped to the ground feeling dizzy, nose bleeding, and looked at Zheng Yichen in disbelief.

Her psychic attack had rebounded—not so much a rebound, but rather when her attack acted on Zheng Yichen’s mind, it encountered a strong repulsive force. Having used too much force, the repulsion collided with the subsequent attacks, essentially making her slap herself.

"Well, that’s really too bad." Zheng Yichen apologized insincerely, waving the long spear in his hand which then ignited with ghostly green flames.

"Take him down..." The leader of the Special Ability Squad eyed the ghostly green flames on the spear warily. After the virus spread, the operating interference devices were affected too. They no longer had the advantage, and their support and auxiliary psychic Special Ability Users were also injured.

However, they had to have an explanation for this incident. Zheng Yichen was an intruder, but he must be involved with someone else behind the scenes, and the only one who could offer an explanation was Zheng Yichen himself.

The Special Ability Squad trying to intercept Zheng Yichen demonstrated their abilities, and the entire corridor became very lively. The attacks of both sides were confined to a small area, and they no longer cared about causing damage. The corridor was quickly breached by the residual effects of the fight.

Facing the elite forces within the fortress, Zheng Yichen couldn’t deal with all of them in a short time. He unscrupulously pulled out a short spear made from the horn of the one-horned mule. The shrieking sounds left the members of the Special Ability Squad in a daze.

The girl who had recovered immediately used her ability, and the affected members of the Special Ability Squad quickly returned to normal. Zheng Yichen, clutching the lightning in his hand, had not yet released it.

"Damn..." He glanced at the young girl, who, undaunted, wiped off the blood on her nose, looking even fiercer at Zheng Yichen.

"Don’t come crying to me for an apology!" Watching the members of the Special Ability Squad waking up, Zheng Yichen threw the Lightning sphere he was holding, not seeming to want to continue the fight. He turned and ran towards another area, where the staff lived.

"Damn, he’s going for hostages!"

After discovering the area Zheng Yichen was heading to, the leader of the Special Ability Squad realized Zheng Yichen’s ’objective’, "Chase him!"

In the residential area, the agitated researchers became panicked, looking at Zheng Yichen shimmering with lightning and some couldn’t handle the shock and cried out. Zheng Yichen roared, "Shut up! Everyone gather together now, or you’ll end up like them!"

He pointed at the soldiers he had knocked down. The guards here had tried hard, but after the virus spread, they lacked upper-level command, and there was little they could do. In the end, Zheng Yichen quickly knocked them down and took them as new hostages.

The researchers didn’t need to be told twice. Under Zheng Yichen’s roar, they obediently gathered together. Zheng Yichen made his demand, "Don’t stand together like that; separate the men and the women!"

"Despicable!" The members of the special ability combat troops who had gathered glared at Zheng Yichen. They weren’t just a squad anymore. After the virus spread, the place they were supposed to guard had lost its purpose. All were deployed to the operation against Zheng Yichen.

"That’s right, that’s right, I am despicable," Zheng Yichen didn’t argue. "By the way, how come the power hasn’t been cut off yet?"

No one answered Zheng Yichen’s question. Elsewhere, the fortress commander rushed to the main area of the Eye of Time and Space with a team.

Cutting power could indeed limit the virus’s spread, but there was no need to do so after the virus had spread here. The virus would not actually leak out from this fortress. The activated shields operate independently, such equipment doesn’t need to connect to a network and has its own independent power source, impenetrable to the virus.

The virus only occupied their control programs; some software that was supposed to run was still operational. They needed to check on the status of the Eye of Time and Space.

However, when they arrived at the scene, both the commander and the main person in charge of the fortress felt their hearts sink. Other places might be fine, but this area had suffered severe damage; many devices were spewing flames, clearly targeted by the distinctive virus.

"All our work for naught," the person in charge said with a heavy voice, his tone laden with unrestrainable anger. Years of effort, not to mention massive resources invested, all went to waste with the damage here.

"No, that’s not right..." The combat commander of the fortress sensed something amiss and quickly approached the device that monitored the Eye of Time and Space. "What happens to the Eye of Time and Space if the stabilizing equipment fails? Does it disappear because it’s unstable, or does it go out of control?"

"Either possibility exists. Could it be—" The person in charge also realized something. He stepped forward, looking at the persistently stable Eye of Time and Space with disbelief in his eyes. There was not much joy there, but rather a thick layer of doubt.

The stable existence of the Eye of Time and Space seemed to make a mockery of all the efforts and equipment they had put into it!

If something had gone wrong with the Eye of Time and Space, they would have been angry and regretful. They might even want to drag Zheng Yichen to a firing range and execute him for ten straight days and bear the responsibility. Yet, now that the Eye of Time and Space was still intact, this, on the contrary, made them deeply uncertain, without any sense of relief.

There must be a demon when things are abnormal. Did the abnormality of the Eye of Time and Space make what Zheng Yichen said somewhat true?

"Does the Eye of Time and Space really have a problem?"

The commander looked towards the person in charge, who knew more about this matter.

The person in charge had a deep look of doubt: "In the research records, the device here is extremely important and cannot have any errors; otherwise, the Eye of Time and Space will have issues. Even the latest research report doesn’t mention this part."

"Maybe it’s a possibility that hasn’t been discovered?"

"There’s that possibility, but if it were so, it should have been found during testing," the person in charge shook his head. Stability tests were constantly ongoing, with very high requirements; they were performed at least four times a day.

Even the slightest fluctuation would prompt a corresponding investigation. The reports from the tests always showed stability. Now, it seemed not that the stability equipment was well-maintained, but that the Eye of Time and Space could operate stably on its own without needing any devices.

So, the question arose: if the Eye of Time and Space could maintain stability without the developed equipment, could they really control it? Was it truly controllable? They developed the Eye of Time and Space to have a stable and controllable time-space gateway!

If they wanted to do something else, they’d focus on the anomalies. The only difference between anomalies and the Eye of Time and Space was that the former existed briefly.

"Should we have a proper talk with him?"

"Let’s renegotiate, but as for the Eye of Time and Space... there’s nothing to deal with right now; it’s actually the least of our concerns," the person in charge said, looking at the steady and unfaltering Eye of Time and Space, its diffusing misty light still enchanting...

The explosion covered the fortress commander, the person in charge, and other armed personnel, leaving bodies everywhere. The commander and the person in charge, equipped with protective gear, were severely injured but not dead.

The commander stared at the person who had attacked; it was one of the armed personnel who had come with them. Now that this person had acted, it meant their judgment was correct; the problem was not with Zheng Yichen, but with the project itself!

The infiltrator had long completed his mission, and now that the conspiracy might be exposed, he acted immediately to silence them.

Watching the newly emerged Fireball in the armed person’s hand, the commander widened his eyes. He looked at a camera still in operation not far away and sighed as the Fireball approached; the plan was flawed, yet there were people trying to prevent the crisis.

Turned out, they were the ones slowing things down. Hopefully, that young man could thoroughly resolve the issue.

The Fireball completely engulfed both the commander and the person in charge; their shields could no longer withstand such an attack.
