Chapter 525: Chapter 458 Helis Sea_2

"Xiao Lin was dragged out of the tech pod! They seem to be catching up to me!"

"Xisheng Shrine is under attack! ’Kawasaka’ team, all retreat!"

"Stop the descent!"

Thousands of attack units vanished from one side of the Helis Sea. After the loss of New Xisheng’s professional hackers, other hacker teams had to slow down their attacks to manage the pressure of information data streams.

Yet the ghostly cyber landscape sprawling across the Canopy still stood unyielding in the Helis Sea!

The attackers knew the effectiveness of their assault, time and again coming so close to completely crippling Nestor Corporation’s network services and ending their offensive, but each time they were stubbornly repelled.

Hackers who died within the system saw their consciousness dissolve into nothingness, becoming part of the blank data, just as a person drowns and disappears in the sea in an instant.

Soon after, one after another, the data centers on the defensive side of the Helis Sea lit up, and their scale continued to expand.

"From that identification code... it’s Xisheng Shrine’s database!"

"Nestor Corporation has occupied Xisheng Shrine?"

"We must attack the Helis Sea with the Cyber Specter and also deal with the Shrine’s network defense system?"

The hackers were in agony, but the promise of a generous reward reinvigorated their fighting spirit.

——Data, mental linkages, and information filled the Helis Sea like endless foam in the seawater, impossibly exhaustive.

Meanwhile, the Cyber Specter’s information entity was collapsing and dissipating!

The empty positions it left behind were immediately seized by the hackers, drawing ever closer to Nestor Corporation’s data core.

If they could just find a way to overcome Xisheng Shrine’s defensive side, they could enter in single file.

"The Cyber Specter has fallen!" The hackers celebrated endlessly.

New hackers just diving into the Helis Sea immediately witnessed countless destroyed and erased consciousness fragments, each file representing a devoured consciousness.

Is this the Helis Sea? No, this is the Hacker Graveyard! The brutal scene where the Cyber Specter devoured countless hackers.

"The Cyber Specter is dead!" called the senior, beckoning him forward, "Break into Nestor Corporation and the reward is ours!"

...

Little Fool slept in a corner for a day until the noise of the tech pod opening woke her up.

She staggered to the white pod, grabbed the edge with her hands, braced her little shoes against its shell, clambered up with effort, and sat on top of the pod. Catching sight of the blood on Xu Yang’s body, she was immediately startled.

Xu Yang lay there covered in blood.

The tech pod injected a wake-up agent mixed with the Cyanoacrylate Compound; boiling steam hissed out from the inside, but he remained motionless, his consciousness unable to properly return to his body, blind and deaf.

He was a mere fraction away from being permanently unable to return, but luckily, the troops had taken over Xisheng Shrine. He was able to use the Shrine’s data defense system to protect Nestor Corporation, buying himself a slight respite.

But that defense system was their own product, and the attackers could easily get the key from Kurokawa Kana, so Xu Yang had to adjust his state and then immediately return to the Helis Sea.

It hurts... so much... emptiness.

The war hadn’t ended. Xu Yang still had to go back to his online battleground, but he was immobile. The real world had become a much narrower black hole. He had changed from an omnipotent controller in the Helis Sea to a prisoner trapped in his own body, struggling even to breathe.

The war had just begun, and New Xisheng had nearly hired all the technically powerful hackers who relentlessly cracked the Helis Sea day and night. The relentless assault had inflicted profound physical and mental damage to Xu Yang, leaving him completely shattered upon his return to the real world – body and spirit in the worst condition ever since his birth.

Life functions ebbed away second by second.

Silently, the day faded, everyone was outside fighting, continuing the advance, clashing with mercenaries, clearing out bandits, mobsters, and criminals. The Young Witch lived far from here and was in the process of being evacuated as the Yokozuna continued its progression.

"Quack, quack..." Little Fool called out distressingly, but no reply came, a great terror looming over her.

Little Fool dashed out, attempting to feed her own milk to Xu Yang.

In the corridor, Kirino Reisei leaned against the wall, wearing a black tank top with a white loose plastic coat, black long socks, and open-toe sandals, her attire for meeting Nanase Kizuna.

"Stop there, little turtle." Seeing Little Fool emerging from the sealed tech cabin, Kirino Reisei knew something was wrong.

"Quack?" Little Fool paused. To her, Kirino Reisei was like a fog, nothing at all.

"Take this for him." Kirino Reisei pulled out two Healing Injections from inside her coat, "Below the neck, one isn’t enough, then two."

"Quack." Little Fool saluted her and quickly picked up the two Healing Injections and ran back.

Before she got halfway, she felt her collar lifted from behind, and Kirino Reisei carried Little Fool by the back of her neck toward the direction of the tech pod.

"...I’ll demonstrate with the first injection," she said.

In the office mezzanine, Kirino Reisei peeled back Xu Yang’s shirt collar, tore open the small bag of disinfectant on the Healing Injection, spread it over his skin, then inserted the needle into his chest, slowly pushing until all the liquid had entered.

"The second one will reduce the side effects, you do it." She picked up Little Fool from behind, and copying what she had just seen, Little Fool held the second Healing Injection tightly, inserted it into the same spot, and pushed down with all her might.

"Quack!" Little Fool pushed the medicine to the end.
