Chapter 303 Transformation
Fei Lun has always thought this dungeon is very strange. According to him, if there is a conflict and battle here for some reason, it is better than seeing nothing.And now, his wish has finally been fulfilled.

Walking into the cold room, with the help of the white light, everyone quickly saw the scene in front of them clearly. It was obvious that a battle took place here.It's just that from the current point of view, whether they are attacking or defending, they are all their own people.On the ground, soldiers wearing body armor and uniforms and holding weapons can be seen everywhere.It was entangled with the corpses of those who wore white coats and could be identified as researchers at a glance. Perhaps because they were frozen at a low temperature, their corpses did not rot, but still maintained the state of death, the cold hoarfrost Covering their bodies, making them look as if they were wrapped in a sheet of ice and snow.

This saved Fei Lun the effort of restoring the scene. Judging from the current situation, these soldiers seem to be fighting something, while the researchers are running away, but now they have all turned into corpses, so Fei Lun Naturally, it was impossible for Lun to get any information from the mouths of these corpses.Not only that, what made him even more strange was that there were only the bodies of the researchers and guards here, but there were no bodies of the enemies who fought with them at all.This is a bit strange, at least judging from the bullet holes on the wall and the surrounding horror, a very tragic battle should have taken place here, but there are no other "enemies" except them at all. .

Could it be that this is actually an internal strife?

Not so...

Fei Lun shook his head, then he walked to a corpse, and then stretched out his hand, wanting to see the condition of the corpse.But what everyone didn't expect was that the moment Fei Lun's hand touched the corpse, the corpse that looked like an ice sculpture suddenly turned into ice crystals scattered all over the ground with a "crack", and fell with it. The hoarfrost on the floor melted into one.Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"I see………"

Looking at the ice crystals in front of him that could no longer see the shape of a human being, Fei Lun nodded. He was wondering before that although the temperature in this place was very low, it was not so cold that it would freeze people to death. Strictly speaking, it actually It is similar to the temperature of a large cold storage, that is, a little lower.According to this temperature, you must say that it is no problem to freeze people to death.But it is absolutely impossible to say that people can be frozen in an instant.Now it seems that this is indeed the case. It is obvious that these people should have been suddenly affected by some kind of extreme cold, so they were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.After that, because a large natural cold storage had been formed here, the corpses of these people were preserved intact.But even so, it has reached the limit. With a little external force like Fei Lun, they will return to ashes.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Thinking of this, Fei Lun lost interest in examining the corpse, but stood up, waved to the crowd, and then walked inside.

There were corpses everywhere along the way, but everyone soon realized that something was wrong.The deeper you go, the worse the condition of these corpses gets.Even many of them were frozen after they were already dead, which means that there was indeed a tragic battle here, and the guards here decided to take the last resort after they found that they couldn't hold on. — Well, it's not surprising, whether it's movies, TV or reality, such an important core area must need some kind of security protection.For example, self-destruction, self-destruction, self-destruction... Oh, fortunately, it is not self-destruction here.

Under Franke's leadership, everyone soon came to the main control room. The situation here was even more tragic. If the corpses before could still be regarded as whole corpses, then most of the corpses here were torn apart. However, what Fei Lun cared about was not the fragments of these corpses, but the beautiful core in front of his eyes.

node.

It wasn't the first time Fei Lun had seen a node, but it was the first time he had seen such a large node.In front of them, there was a black rectangle standing there like a pillar made by some kind of black technology. It seemed to be about four or five meters high. Like a circuit board, there was a faint green light, which extended from top to bottom along the slate and extended to the entire floor.It’s just that for some reason, Fei Lun always feels that something is wrong with this node—how should I put it?It seems to be a little half-dead, feeling weak.

"Is there any interference? Krona?"

"Um………"

Facing Faerun's question, Krona pouted and nodded.

"The energy network here seems to be very unstable, I can't connect to the upper layer of the network at all..."

"I see."

Hearing Krona's answer, Ferran was silent for a moment, then looked at Franke.

"Franka, let's see if we can activate the system here... For a facility like this, just in case, there must be a backup record. Try to call it up and have a look. It is best to have it before the accident here .”

"Okay, master."

After receiving Faerun's order, Franka glanced at Krona with a smile, then walked to the main console, stretched out her hand to put it on the console, and soon, circuit beams shot from the girl's fingertips. Emerge and quietly merge with the entire console.And following Franke's movements, soon there was a series of soft noises, and the huge screens around them began to flicker with snowflakes, and after a while, windows appeared on them, dancing with different characters ——Thank God, these things haven't broken yet.

"…………"

The characters on the screen ran around at a high speed, and various documents disappeared in a flash. Even Phelan and Delin could hardly see what it represented, but Franka obviously did not rely on vision to find the target.She just opened her eyes wide like this, staring blankly at the console in front of her, beams of light flashed from the girl's eyes, turning into stars all over the sky...

"found it."

After nearly 10 minutes, Franka spoke, and as she spoke, the scene in front of her eyes changed again.

What is displayed on the screen is the main control room where everyone is currently.It's just that the current control room seems to be the same as usual. Those researchers in white coats are busy at the console, chatting with each other from time to time, or someone walks by, saying something to others, taking leave with the information.The heavily armed soldiers stood in the corner, looking very calm.

This scene is very familiar to Faerun, but Krona and Delin watched it with great interest, because what appeared here was the scene before the catastrophe, so for Delin and Krona who only appeared after the cataclysm For people on Earth, even such a boring surveillance camera is quite interesting.

Fei Lun glanced at the date in the lower right corner of the screen, then narrowed his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, this was the day when the cataclysm happened.

5 minutes left.

4 minutes, 3 minutes...

five four three two one…………

Just after the silent countdown in Phelan's heart was over, suddenly, the entire control room in the screen trembled suddenly, and many researchers who were frightened stood up and looked around in surprise.And an old man standing in the crowd, who looked very prestigious, waved his hand to signal them not to panic, and then his voice came from the monitor.

"Don't panic, it's just a small earthquake, don't worry, everyone continues to experiment..."

Hearing the old man's words, the researchers who were a little surprised at first calmed down again, and returned to their seats to start working.But this time, not long after, a researcher suddenly shouted.

"Director! Sasha has been invaded!"

"what?"

Hearing the researcher's words, the old man suddenly walked up behind him, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the screen in front of him.

"What's going on? How could it be invaded?"

"I don't know. Logically speaking, this is an independent network and will not be invaded at all, but now... our firewall can't hold it anymore!"

"What is Sasha?"

Seeing this, Ferran tilted his head and asked Franka, but Franka paused for a moment, as if looking for some information, and then gave an explanation after a while.

"Sasha is the name of the artificial intelligence that controls the central core here. They seem to use this artificial intelligence to deal with data issues in the control center..."

"It looks more and more like a sci-fi horror movie..."

Hearing Franke's explanation, Ferran also sighed with emotion and then looked at the screen in front of him again.

On the screen, the atmosphere in the control room has become increasingly tense.Although I can't understand what those researchers are doing, it can be seen from their conversations and words that these people are doing their best to resist the 'invasion'.It's just that from their expressions, this kind of resistance has had little effect, basically nothing. "

"The core firewall has been breached, and the other party has entered the database!"

"what?"

Hearing this, the old man who had been standing there with his hands behind his back finally couldn't bear to give an order.

"Shut down the system and prepare for an emergency restart! Cut off contact!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the old man's order, the two researchers beside him immediately took out two special keys from their pockets, and inserted them into the console. Then they looked at each other and turned the keys at the same time.

but………

"The system cannot be shut down!"

"Disconnect the physical connection! Destroy it completely, quick!!"

This time it was the soldiers from before. They quickly came to the fire-fighting equipment by the wall, picked up the fire-fighting axe, and smashed hard at an iron box next to it. Soon the iron box was smashed It was a mess, and the wiring inside was directly pulled down.At the same time, the screens in front of the researchers seemed to pause for a moment, but soon...

"The invasion continues! Director!"

"This is impossible!! We have cut the network cable, how is it possible..."

"The other party is rewriting our program code... Director, we..."

"Pull up! Cut off the power supply!!"

While shouting, the old man ran to the switch by himself, grabbed the handle, and then pulled it down forcefully.Soon, the control room in front of him was plunged into darkness.

but………

"squeak……………"

In just a moment, the originally dark control room brightened up again, and the monitors also lit up again, and lines of codes emerged from them like mercury pouring down the ground. At the same time, Fei Lun saw, on the screen in front of him, this On the top of the 'Black Stone Pillar', stripes that looked like circuit boards gradually appeared, and this is exactly...

"Nodal!"

Seeing this, Phelan's eyes widened in surprise. Everyone in the wasteland knew that the nodes were transformed from the information data transmission center.But no one said how the exit node was formed, and now, he actually saw the node that was being transformed?
