Chapter 2001 Lockdown

The two demi-humans who were left behind to guard the hall looked worried when they saw this through the screen.

Fang Heng frowned and demanded, “What’s going on?! Why wasn’t I informed about the defense settings?”

“This, I don’t know about this.” Cold sweat dripped down Dudley’s cheeks as he continued, “These are all built-in security systems. I have no idea about them. They should be sensed through face recognition. They will automatically launch an attack when they identify an unauthorized person. I didn’t know there was such a module…”

Fang Heng said coldly, “Shut them down and reset the target.”

“It won’t work.”

Dudley tried to press the control button, and a warning window popped up on the screen.

“There’s no other way. The security module and the research room platform module are separate. Even with the security department’s authority, we can’t deactivate it. Disabling the defense requires a Grade 1 authorization. That is, Mr. Miyamoto himself can use his iris pattern and secret key to unlock it. We can’t activate it forcefully; doing so would only trigger the lockdown mode. If it’s truly locked, none of us will be able to leave.”

“Hmm?”

Lockdown?

Couldn’t get out?

Fang Heng suddenly realized something, and his face immediately showed interest, “Wait a minute, explain to me what this lockdown mode is?”

…

At the same time, on the upper level of Frostmist Island, the federal crisis management team led by Lei Yu was heading down to the undersea passage to provide support.

What was going on?

Why was the undersea research institute suddenly attacked?

It happened too suddenly. Lei Yu and his team only knew that the alarm was sent from inside the research institute!

Clearly, there was no movement outside, not even half a trace of the enemy’s shadow could be seen.

Why did it have to suddenly send out an attack alarm from within?

Did the enemy really know how to pass through walls?

Lei Yu felt that there must be a problem!

After the alarm went off, Lei Yu immediately left some of his men to guard outside to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain. He took the rest of the people and rushed to the central research institute to provide reinforcement.

In fact, the exterior of Frostmist Island was just a facade.

The real research institute was located two kilometers away from Frostmist Island in an underground building under the sea.

Very few people knew this secret.

Even Lei Yu’s subordinates didn’t know.

So how did the news leak out?

How did Gu Qingzhu arrive at the research institute?

“F*ck, old man Miyamoto, you said that the research institute is safe and that you set up a trap to kill one person! Now, the big fish has bitten the bait and might even run away with the bait!”

The team members were anxious and could not help but curse softly.

They were told to wait in ambush in the periphery, anticipating that Gu Qingzhu would definitely probe Frostmist Island tonight. Therefore, they had set up an ambush in the outer area to ensure that they could take down Gu Qingzhu and the demi-humans in one fell swoop.

And the result?

They stayed up for most of the night, braved the sea breeze for half the night, and in the end, they didn’t catch anything worth mentioning. On top of that, their hometown was stolen before they even got back!

Idiot.

A bunch of pig teammates!

“Shut up, stop talking nonsense!”

Lei Yu frowned and rushed to the research institute with his subordinates.

Miyamoto Teru had communicated some details with him beforehand.

He had a rough idea of Miyamoto Teru’s plan.

At that time, he did not notice anything unusual.

So, how did the demi-humans invade the research institute?

He was very suspicious of the accuracy of the internal alarm information. He suspected that it was a deliberate design by demi-humans to set off the alarm and lure them away.

“Is Frostmist Island’s external defense still normal?”

the subordinate replied immediately after checking the information, “It’s very safe. It’s calm outside. There’s no problem at all.”

Lei Yu frowned.

Right now, he could only temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and rush to the research institute to rescue them.

The research laboratory was located in the seventh basement.

First, they had to pass through a long underwater passage to enter the research room.

The group had just passed through the undersea passage area when they stopped in front of a metal door.

“Open the door!”

At the entrance, several Fox Hunting Squad guards blocked the door.

“Sorry, we need authorization.”

“Authority? What authorization? We are from the Federation Investigation Bureau!”

“Without authorization, we can’t let you in.”

“You…! Since when do you need authorization?”

Lei Yu stretched out his hand to stop his agitated subordinate.

“Captain, let’s…”

Lei Yu said in a deep voice, “We’ll wait.”

The subordinates were furious. When they heard their captain say this, they suppressed their anger and shut their mouths one by one. They stood behind Lei Yu.

After waiting for a full three minutes, Miyamoto Teru finally arrived under the escort of more than ten elite players from the Fox Hunting Squad.

The guards bowed in unison and greeted, “Mr. Miyamoto.”

“Hmm…”

Miyamoto Teru’s expression was a little solemn. He exchanged glances with Lei Yu and knew what had just happened.

“Granting Lei Yu and his team temporary authority to seal off the outer area and strictly restrict outsiders from entering.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Ka ka ka…”

As he spoke, the metal door that blocked everyone slowly opened.

“Demi-humans have invaded the research institute. There is an extremely dangerous mission. You must seal the entrance and exit to prevent them from escaping…”

Just as everyone was about to enter the passage, the entire hall suddenly rang with a piercing alarm.

“Woo! Wuwuwu…!”

Almost at the same time, a two-meter-long rock slab made of a special material descended from the entrance of the research institute!

“Bang Bang!! Bang Bang!!!”

The thick stone slab smashed heavily onto the ground, producing a heavy thud, and causing the entire hall to shake violently.

“Buzz…”

In the next moment, a dark yellow protective energy barrier appeared around the falling metal slab.

Miyamoto Teru’s face darkened when he saw this.

What was going on?

Why did the entrance of the passage suddenly close again?

Everyone turned to look at Miyamoto Teru.

“Mr. Miyamoto, what is this?”

Miyamoto Teru stood there quietly as if he was thinking about something.

His secretary, who had been standing beside him, stepped forward.

“Everyone, please listen to me. The entire undersea secret research institute has a Grade 1 security program. Once it is activated, the entire defense facility will be taken over by the defense barrier system and completely locked down.”

“In the lockdown state, the defensive barrier is divided into three layers. The first layer is the inner layer of the synthetic stone slab, which can withstand 30,000,000 energy level bombardment. The second layer is the absorption layer, which is constructed using the special material in the game, the energy wave sponge. It can absorb the energy waves that are removed from the synthetic stone slab, further enhancing the defensive ability of the stone slab.”

“The third layer is the defensive energy shield. It can provide the final protection on the outer layer. The defensive energy shield can also block the penetration of spatial fluctuations and prevent the enemy from escaping.”
