Chapter 2003 Reboot

Reboot?

Dudley listened to Fang Heng’s whimsical words and shook his head, saying, “Impossible, this is impossible! The research institute is directly powered by external power. We can’t provide power input to it. Without power, there’s no way to open the game teleportation passage, you understand? It’s completely impossible!”

“I’ll take care of the power supply. You just need to turn this machine on again.”

As Fang Heng spoke, he called two demi-humans over and gave them a look.

“Friends, do me a small favor.”

Soon, two demi-humans cleared out a space in the middle of the hall.

Fang Heng walked to the open space, took out an alchemy brush, squatted down, and began to draw an alchemy magic array.

Other than the electricity commonly used in the real world, there was also a magic array to convert energy!

Usually, basic alchemy magic arrays could provide it.

Under Dudley’s astonished gaze, an alchemy magic array was quickly drawn on the ground.

Fang Heng got up and took out a few purified universe crystals from his backpack. He weighed them in his hand.

This thing was a high-concentration energy material crystal.

Very useful!

Since he had used this thing in the game several times, he had kept it in his warp backpack slot to prevent accidents.

A total of six pieces.

It was enough for the time being!

Dudley looked at the universe crystal that Fang Heng casually took out, and his eyes went blank.

Good fellow! The origin of this chapter’s debut can be traced to

This thing was…

A high-purity universe crystal?

Where did he get such precious energy materials?

Fang Heng placed the universe crystal in the center of the magic array.

“Swoosh…!!”

In an instant, the magic array was infused with high-tier energy and started operating at high speed!

Fang Heng turned around and looked at Dudley, who was still in shock, and said, “Don’t just stand there. Where’s the energy configuration? Why aren’t you trying?”

“Alright, alright…”

Dudley immediately adjusted the parameters and reconnected the original system’s power supply.

Due to the different parameters of the power interface, it needed to be readjusted. After Dudley fiddled with it for more than ten minutes, the entire system finally rebooted after connecting to a new power source.

“Ka ka, ka…”

The lights in the hall lit up again, and the big screen turned on again. The facilities in the entire research institute were back in operation mode.

“Very good. You have ten minutes. Now, I need to restart the teleportation passage.”

“Ten minutes is too short. It’s impossible. The game passage needs some time to reboot. Otherwise, the passage will become very unstable…” Dudley’s forehead was full of sweat and he said, “At least another twenty minutes.”

“Sure, you have a total of thirty minutes.”

Fang Heng said as he stared at the big screen map that had resumed its operation, “I’m still easy to talk to, aren’t I?”

Easy to talk to?

You are a devil!

Dudley cursed in his heart, not daring to speak. His fingers quickly tapped the buttons, secretly praying that no accidents would happen during the process of rebooting the teleportation passage.

Fang Heng stood at the side and manually turned on the regional surveillance mode again to survey the interior.

“Strange…”

Fang Heng muttered in a low voice. He could not help but feel a little puzzled.

Before the entire research institute was locked down, there were still many guards guarding the interior. When they discovered that the seventh basement was under attack, they rushed to the seventh basement to provide support.

After the research institute was locked down, the various teams did not continue reinforcing but instead, they immediately returned to the first basement.

Strange, why did they gather in the first basement?

The team of guards who were gathering in the first basement were also a little confused.

According to the original emergency plan, if they entered the lockdown mode, they would immediately return to the security hall on the first floor and wait for the lockdown to be lifted two hours later.

Why was the power system suddenly restored?

Furthermore, the main passage’s door had yet to open.

What the hell?

This was completely different from the practice!

On the other side, when Gu Qingzhu entered the third basement, she met the Fox Hunting Squad in charge of guarding it, causing them quite a bit of trouble.

Fortunately, Gu Qingzhu’s strength was strong enough to successfully deal with the squad and rescue the trapped demi-humans survivors.

It seemed that there was no major issue on Gu Qingzhu’s side.

While waiting, Fang Heng began to look through the internal information of the research institute.

The laboratory system did not have any external interface and was completely localized. Therefore, the information found could not be transferred, so they could only be checked in the research institute.

Eh?

Why wasn’t there any information?

Fang Heng browsed through it and used keywords to search. However, he couldn’t find any information related to the dragon soul crystal in the database.

Not at all! Not a single piece could be found!

That was strange.

Where was the information about the dragon soul crystal?

Even CXX Gaming Company had information about the dragon soul crystal but there was none in Miyamoto Teru’s research institute?

There’s something wrong with it!

It was very likely that someone had deliberately hidden it!

Fang Heng had some speculation in his mind as he raised his head and asked, “Dudley, what’s a dragon soul crystal?”

Dudley was still focused on rebooting the teleportation passage when he heard Fang Heng’s question. He felt a chill down his spine and quickly replied, “I’m not too sure. I’m mainly in charge of the teleportation passage. I’ve heard some research mention that the teleportation passage requires demi-humans to provide energy for its continuous function. The potion that maintains the demi-humans survival is extracted from the dragon soul crystal. This potion can keep them active for a long time.”

“We’re here to maintain the operation of the teleportation passage. We need to ensure the operation of the petri dish and monitor the various data of the battery…”

“Hmm.” Fang Heng made a soft hum and interrupted, “Is the authority of the research institute unable to access all the internal information?”

“Uh… I’m not sure about that.”

Most likely.

Fang Heng thought to himself, “Troublesome.”

The thing he wanted to find the most was hidden by Miyamoto Teru.

“Eh?”

Dudley, who was operating the system, suddenly noticed something strange. He let out a soft sound of surprise and immediately lowered his head to quickly operate the system on the screen.

“What happened?”

“It’s nothing. There’s an abnormal alarm at the detection point of the passage below.” Dudley explained as he focused on controlling the main console to reboot the control end. He had no time to care about these troubles and said, “It might be a small malfunction during the reboot.”

The passage below?

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

Speaking of which, he had sensed a faint lifeblood fluctuation from the beginning. At this moment, the fluctuation was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that this fluctuation also came from below.

Fang Heng immediately pulled out the map of the entire research institute and displayed it on the big screen.

Several alarm points were also located in the eighth basement of the underground research institute.

However, there was no surveillance coverage on the eighth basement of the research institute, so they could not detect anything from there.

Something’s fishy!
