Standing in place, staring straight ahead, Lin Ling was still waiting.

More than two hours have passed, but the situation on the other side of the system is still not visible in the slightest, and the illusory data flow flowing on the central machine is not abnormal at all.

Even so, she didn't let up at all.

There is no news from the technicians downstairs, and it is estimated that they are still busy.

Even though Lin Ling's mood has always been very stable, she also feels anxious in this atmosphere.

At this moment, she saw a vision.

The unreal stream of data, the stream of data intertwined on the central machine, rippled like the surface of the water.

Countless points of light spilled out of the data stream, forming a brilliant halo that pulled the light band above to spread outward.

A voice appeared in front of Lin Ling's eyes before she was about to make a move.

[Pivot system restarting...... The reboot was successful. ]

[Planet Fortress Core System Alpha at your service.] ]

Countless paths of light also lit up at this moment, and the walls of the entire central chamber were like stars, breaking through the blood-colored shroud and spreading the light.

Rows of machines began to light up and run, green codes flashed over them, and finally they all froze into a happy smile.

There's also a line of brisk text underneath.

[Host, I succeeded!] 】

Lin Ling looked at it, let go of her originally clenched hands, and unconsciously smiled.

"Welcome back safely, system."

……

At the same moment, the technician located on the platform also pressed the last button.

When they saw the familiar code displayed on the screen, everyone erupted in deafening cheers.

"It worked! We did it!!! ”

They took off their coats and threw them directly into the air, hugging each other and shouting their excitement.

"Wait, what's that?"

The man with glasses who had just come off the lanyard suddenly noticed the path of light spreading from above, and couldn't help but straighten his glasses and take a closer look.

The others also stopped following his prompts and looked up.

[Debugging of the Running Template in the Pivot Area......]

[Debugging is complete, and it is time to run.] ]

As a few electronic sounds fell, a dazzling light path lit up on the wall next to the technician, which continued to spread, and successfully connected with the light path flowing above.

The platform also slammed at this moment.

Several technicians were so frightened that they grabbed the handrail next to them, and then felt the platform slowly descend.

They hurriedly ripped the data interface off the device to prevent it from suddenly collapsing.

After that, several people looked at each other, and they all saw the blank emotions on each other's faces.

The man with glasses was the first to react, his eyes suddenly widened and he rushed to the edge, and he saw layers of light rising from below.

"Medium...... The central system is back up and running!! ”

He shouted at his colleague in surprise, and began to wave his hands excitedly, almost tumbling over the guardrail.

"This ...... Oh, my God...... Miracle? ”

Although his colleague, who was more restrained than him, calmly pulled him back in one fell swoop, his reaction to the scene in front of him was no better than that of the man with glasses. , I can't even say a complete sentence.

The brilliant light path spreads like a pattern to the entire columnar space, spreading all over every corner, like a huge canvas drawing zigzag lines.

Even though there were still pieces of flesh sticking to it, in such a scene, it was like a tiny speck of dust, unable to block the slightest light.

The stunned technicians stood on the platform, looking at the golden space, and stopped thinking at this moment.

Until the platform had descended to the bottom, they were still staring up sluggishly.

In a closed room in the C activity area, a person had already tiredly picked up the gun next to him, closed his eyes and aimed at his chin.

Prepare for death.

Perhaps it is easier to know for yourself than to suffocate to death.

He counted silently in his mind, and was about to pull the trigger when a "ding" sound interrupted his movements.

The man opened his eyes in astonishment, and saw that the door that should have been locked had been opened, and the rust-smelling murky air suddenly poured into his nostrils.

The feeling of vertigo also appeared in his brain.

[Abnormal air indicators have been detected, the filtration system has been activated, and the protective tools have now been put into use.] ]

A soft sound appeared beside the man, and he turned his head to look, and saw the gas mask popping out of it, and immediately put it on wisely.

The feeling of dizziness is still somewhat lingering.

When he stepped out of the closed room, he lay the bones of monsters all over the floor, complete or mutilated.

Even the vents overhead were crowded with monster corpses, but some of them seemed to be squeezed to death, which was even more strange.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The sudden sound made him turn around, and several of his comrades, who were heavily armed and dressed in combat uniforms, were standing beside him.

Each of them was covered in more or less blood, and behind them, there were survivors who supported each other.

"What's going on?" He was a little confused.

These comrades-in-arms glanced at each other, and finally shook their heads, pointing in the direction of the core area, "Probably the central system is running again." ”

The same happens in the equipment area.

The people locked in the confined rooms stepped out of the rooms, the automatic doors that had been stuck-in in each area gradually opened, and the defenses were put back into operation.

With gas masks popping out of the wall, they walked out, met, and looked at each other again.

In a space with a separate air circulation system, a neutral voice is also ringing.

"Everyone's motivated! Let's work hard! ”

The one-eyed man was holding a steel rod and sticking it into the bottom of the lift door, yelling at the other people in gas masks as he pried it upwards.

"Three! Two! One! ”

As soon as everyone exerted their strength, they felt their hands loosen, and the force that they didn't have time to retract made them fall directly to the ground.

The man sat up with his aching buttocks and looked at it, and saw that the lift door that had long ceased to run was slowly rising, revealing a corridor full of monster bones.

But the people present did not have time to notice this, and the machines around them that had begun to run again attracted their full attention.

[Detecting the regional operation module......]

[The barometric pressure balance system has entered operation......]

The electronic sound that they had disliked countless times came from the radio, and the stiff and electric voice was like a heavenly sound at this moment.

In Area B, in a corridor full of wounded people, Romi was wiping the patient's wound with the last remaining piece of water.

She looked up when she saw the lights come on, the doors open, and the filtration system running automatically.

The glow of the core area shines through the glass in the corridors.

The survivors of Section B watched the scene and gathered by the window.

I saw a pillar of light that illuminated the entire core area like a flame, the central system.

Never-before-seen colors lit up in that dimly lit area, and strings of circuits lit up everywhere.

The light was intense and blinding, as if to dispel all shadows.

It was the first time that Romy, who had been working here for a long time, had seen such a scene.

At the time she arrived, the central system she saw was always silent in the dark core, with a little red light at most.

But now, she can't tell.

People watched, watched.

After a brief silence, everyone finally erupted in deafening cheers.

"They succeeded!!"

……

In the central room, Lin Ling was standing in front of several devices to check the operation of each area.

Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Several panting technicians rushed from the platform to the door of the central chamber.

"You, you, did what?"

Everyone was out of breath and panting, and it was a little difficult to even stand on the door frame.

"I didn't do it, the central system suddenly activated just now."

Lin Ling shook her head at them, telling half-truths and half-truths, without the slightest fear.

She looked at the screen beside her, the smiling face above her was gone, but the voice in her head was still reassuring.

The system is constantly telling about its experience in the central system, and the chattering noise is not disturbing to Lin Ling's ears.
