Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"Go find the location of the power supply for the main computer room and follow orders to turn on the power supply in time," Gregory immediately instructed, looking at the soldier with some knowledge of electrical circuits and asking, "Do you know where it is?"

The soldier nodded and replied, "I think I've seen it before; let's go look for it!"

"No need to look!" Bai E suddenly grabbed the shoulder bag slung over Miss Aryan's shoulder, pulling out a sheet of white paper and a pen, and began furiously sketching on the ground.

Once the exploration degree of the ruin reached 100%, the model for the ruin in his mind was completely finished.

Overview, top view, side view, cross-section view... any form of observation, as long as Bai E wished, the model could change at any time on a panel only visible to him.

"Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh..." The pen tip swiftly raced across the paper.

Copying from the model, Bai E quickly drew a detailed functional blueprint of the base.

Holding the paper, Bai E rapidly introduced the plan to the soldier who said he would go restart the power supply, marking on the paper with a pen, "Our position is here, the power supply room is here, following this path is the fastest shortcut, remember it! Take it!"

"And this physical key!" Minister Likok had prepared a star-shaped metal plaque.

Rebooting the power supply and network here required a physical key, which was kept in Blackwater City, the closest to this base—that was the core reason why he had always been eager.

Watching the soldier run off, Bai E clearly heard a sound of swallowing saliva, and Miss Aryan, an inexperienced girl, expressed her puzzled inquiry, "You... where have you seen the base's structural blueprints?"

Even her teacher didn't have the specific structural plans for inside the base; where did this soldier get them from?

"I memorized them during the previous infiltration and when we were just searching for people..." Bai E said with a downcast look, not wanting to dwell on this issue, "It's not important; you need to finish the repairs as soon as possible."

Bai E's gaze turned to those red-flashing mainframes.

The minimum level of electric current was barely maintaining the self-check capabilities of this group of mainframes; the ones flashing green lights were naturally fine, but those with red lights indicated malfunctions.

When this base was intact, engineers stationed here would certainly be responsible for maintenance and repairs, but those biochemical soldiers controlled by electronic demons didn't have such abilities.

Gazing across the rows of mainframes shrouded in dark mist, red lights punctuated the area as his glance swept to the end.

Not every mainframe was vitally important; missing some of them, the system could still start up, albeit with slightly less computational power. However, the many node machines responsible for interconnecting were critical, and if even one of them was damaged, it would make it difficult for the entire group of mainframes to operate.

"We need to fix those interconnecting node machines as quickly as possible; they can't hold on much longer..." Bai E said with a grave tone. As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers' bodies slid across the smooth floor, tumbling past the three of them.

The electronic demons knew that humans were trying to reboot the server, and realizing the danger, they attempted to break through the soldiers' obstruction to clear out these people or at least disrupt the humans' rebooting efforts.

By this moment, the "electronic silence" of the secret war had emerged into the open, and all the planning was now apparent on paper.

Human scheming had trapped them in an airtight snare, and now they could only try to fight their way out with the disdainful simplicity of unfamiliar human bodies.

In the face of an enemy that was "impossible to hit," even these battle-hardened soldiers picked from military camps could only passively defend and take hits.

This was the level of combat capability showcased by the electronic demons when commanding ancient supreme warriors. If it were left to their own willpower, the group probably wouldn't last very long.

Fortunately, human soldiers have never been afraid of getting hurt or dying on the battlefield. Of the three soldiers who first charged in, aside from the Blood God, who was still struggling to hold on, the other two were flung out, but even more soldiers charged up again.

The opponent might be unassailable, but he was still corporeal; to attack Bai E and Minister Likok hidden behind all the soldiers, he'd first have to cross over the bodies of all those soldiers!

Of course, that's provided... he doesn't get hold of any ranged weapons.

"Throw the guns far away." Blood God quickly thwarted the action of a pixelated man trying to snatch a pistol from his comrade and shouted loudly.

By now, all ordinary bio-modified soldiers had been cleared out, leaving only this final boss. Firearms were useless against him; on the contrary, it would be trouble if he got his hands on one, so they had to be thrown far away.

"Bang!" In the midst of the reminder, a heavy punch slammed into Blood God's chest, the fierce force instantly sending the tall and burly figure flying like a truck had hit him.

"Thud!" He slammed into a mainframe, and the originally pale green light on it immediately turned into a bright red flash! The metal casing also caved inwards.

The "ancient supreme warrior" had their combat skills deeply ingrained to the bone; even when controlled by the electronic demons relying solely on physical instincts, they were above Blood God in strength. In combat with him, any complacency could bring about fatal danger.

Without Blood God's strong front-line restraint, the four or five soldiers who surrounded him suddenly faced great peril. The difference in skill level among them might not be too large, but against a higher-tier enemy, even a small difference could mean a lot.

Within several intersections of shadows, another soldier spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was thrown violently backward, struggling several times on the ground without being able to get up.

The only fortunate thing was that this time he did not hit any mainframe.

"Try to pull him to the edge; don't let him damage the mainframes!" Clenching his fists, Gregory took a sprint and also joined the melee.

```

Whether it's a node host or not, it must be protected as much as possible.

Technicians make the efforts that technicians should make, and warriors do what warriors must.

The battle before us is the final one, use all our strength to block any potential interference from pixel people towards the technicians, and the balance of victory will begin to tip in our favor!

"Minister!" This is the key to buying time.

"I am analyzing!" Likok had already connected his own computer to one of the damaged hosts.

Today's intelligent technology vastly differs from the past, and modern times, with almost stagnant research in this area, no longer have the capability to mass-produce high-performance processing cores.

The device he brought is the strongest terminal processing device handmade by the spiritual energy users in the city! Just give him enough time... he will definitely be able to figure out the cause of the damage to these devices through some inherited basic knowledge and come up with a repair strategy.

The precondition is... time.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Warriors' bodies being thrown with thuds occasionally resound in the ears, Miss Aryan's hands holding the computer are already trembling, and Likok's chubby face is covered in visible beads of sweat.

His eyes are glued to the content on the screen like a man possessed, his thumbnail digging into his index finger's flesh, having already carved out a bloody mark...

"Faster... faster..."

Experience tales at empire

The modern most powerful processor is obviously no match for ancient Golden Age technology, even identifying a fault takes a near excruciatingly long time given the current circumstances.

Watching the progress bar of percentage slowly move forward, Likok wishes he could dive into the screen to speed it up.

Bai E, anxious at the sidelines, looks at his own 264/300 level 1 computer hardware maintenance knowledge, hesitates for a long time, and still doesn't add it.

Even if he did add it, could he really compare with the head of the Information Department from Blackwater City? Unless there was some unexpected black technology, even if he threw all his general experience at it, it would be useless.

The gang engineers who rushed over stared blankly at the computers that Zhou Wenjie had assembled, their eyes behind the reading glasses nearly popping out.

"You, you, you... how did you do that?"

"This..." Wen Jie was a bit dumbfounded, "Is it that difficult? Can't you just reverse engineer it with the actual item?"

"..."

Langxie looked on with her head tilted, staring at Mr. Feng who she has always revered almost like a deity, "Mr. Feng, are you not capable of this?"

"Pfft~" It was like a knife deeply plunged into his heart, Mr. Feng shook his sparse, persistent white hair, "Do I look capable to you?"
