Chapter 204: Government Website Down

“Seriously? Why is the internet down now?”

“I can’t open the Moonian government website anymore. Is anyone still on the page? If so, don’t close it! You won’t be able to open it again!”

“I’m still on it, but my battery is running out.”

“Hold on! Does anybody have a charger? Give it to him! There’s something wrong with the internet, so we must keep the page open! Are there any new updates?”

“Is there a problem with the internet? It doesn’t feel that way. If that’s the case, we shouldn’t be able to send messages to each other. However, we still can, but half of our words are missing on the website. It has to be a problem with the website!”

Ark passengers all over the world began to panic as they gradually lost their internet service.

Without the internet, how were they going to know what was going on outside?

Without the internet, how could they avoid the fishmen?

Earlier, people all over the world set up a map online, showing where the fishmen were found, the arks they were attacking, and those that were overrun. Ordinary people could use this map to stay out of harm’s way.

There were also instructions from Moon, Panthera, and Hosia, telling people where the rendezvous points were and where to find help.

Without the internet, they couldn’t find such information anymore. They wouldn’t know where the fishmen were until they were at their doorstep.

Therefore, they had to ask those people to stay on the Moonian government website, hoping that the service would be back soon.

The people that had left the website regretted their decisions.

“No matter what the problems are, we can’t leave the website! Refresh the page and see if there’s any news!”

“I can’t! The website is down!”

“Just keep refreshing it! Don’t close the page!”

People gathered together in the ark, and dozens of people were staring at one phone. They kept refreshing the page. However, nothing happened.

Suddenly!

The internet recovered for a second, and some news updates popped out. However, the service was gone almost right away.

The passengers were thrilled.

“Look! Updates! Let’s see what’s new!”

“A group of fishmen is heading for the eastern coast! Aren’t we on that coast? How many are there?”

“It doesn’t say! The service is coming and going, and I can’t read everything!”

“The fishmen are coming! Shut the door! No one is allowed to leave!”

“Gosh! I hope Moon fixes the internet soon. Otherwise, we may all get killed!”

“God won’t help you now. You’d better pray to Mr. Soan. Give it a try and see if you can send messages.”

“I can’t! I’ve tried! The service is down!”

Everybody was chattering anxiously when the man’s phone froze, and the page shut down.

“What’s going on?”

“My page shut down.”

“Now? Open it again!”

“I can’t. Once you’re out, you can’t open the webpage again.”

“We’re doomed!”

…

He wasn’t alone. Everybody who had been on the webpage was forced out.

The Moonian government website was down.

Skynet was the only website left. There were only 200,000 viewers online. That was less than 0.01% of the global population.

Skynet was also semi-frozen. People couldn’t send or receive messages. Every now and then, the service would recover for a split second. A few messages would pop out before everything would freeze again.

Those 200,000 people didn’t dare turn off their phones. They were the human race’s last hope.

Presidents of Panthera, Hosia, and a few other countries wanted to discuss with Moon, but they realized the second network had stopped working as well. They had lost contact with one another.

The fishmen were still attacking ordinary people, and the potions needed to be delivered to other countries. Without the internet, none of that could proceed.

…

In Atlantis, Himmel Soan realized he couldn’t go any further after a thousand meters. If he did, he might not be able to come out again.

Atlantis’s dome was about 4km high.

Himmel Soan had only covered a quarter of that distance. He must have killed nearly 100,000 robots by now. The entire Atlantis seemed to be shaking under his power.

Yet he was weakening as he moved deeper into the kingdom.

The mental force that used to wrap around Earth began to fade. Himmel Soan didn’t want to, but he couldn’t help it. He had to retrieve the mental force, or he would be severely injured.

After it came back to him, it would even help him recover some mental force.

His mental force was like an antenna that could extend infinitely. The longer it extended, the heavier it would become.

One could think of Himmel Soan as Hercules. When he was in his normal state, he could withstand an “antenna” that was 50km long. But now, his strength was slipping, and even 30km was too much for him.

He had to either shorten the antenna to lower the weight or cut it off for good. If he hesitated for too long, the antenna would snap.

Himmel Soan would be in a terrible state if his mental force was damaged. The best that could happen was a decrease in his cultivation level, and he could even lose his mind.

The damage might even kill him.

The robots weren’t the most capable fighters, but they could be recycled and reused.

Himmel Soan saw robots picking up the spare parts that had fallen to the bottom of the ocean. In another two hours, they would turn into brand new robots again.

That was what the future battle would look like. It was so much more efficient than using humans. Moreover, the robots were better fighters.

If those robots left the ocean, they could destroy an entire country on land.

However, they couldn’t pose any threat to Himmel Soan. He could destroy them with a wave of his hand.

If the robots were his only opponents, he could fight all the way to the deepest corner of Atlantis.

Obviously, robot soldiers weren’t all that Atlantis had. They had to have much more powerful machines.

Himmel Soan was feeling worse every minute. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to return to the land.
