I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 1166 Caroline's Legion
Around the spherical device were twelve towering control consoles, their screens glowing with a deep blue light, displaying massive amounts of data and 3D models.

Compared to these pieces of junk that were placed here at some unknown time,

The researchers below appear to be in an even more abnormal mental state.

In response to this scene, Su Wen calmly said:

"Just like the victims in the [Deep Winter], they have been controlled by the web weavers."

After confirming that these 'people' were already puppets, Xiaoye simply gave them a cute look.

She then nimbly crept along the shadows of the control panel. Even after getting close enough to the side, she saw the projected data on the wall:
That was a research report on "Deep Space Signal Reception and Analysis".

It turns out that this underground array was not part of the Resurrected Ones' plan, but rather had already been under construction long ago, orchestrated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's behind-the-scenes controllers.

"No wonder they were able to build such a massive underground array."

Caroline was somewhat sarcastic.

But according to Fausta, a surprising answer was given:

"It looks like Seren's work."

But it probably wasn't a plan he proposed himself.

Su Wen pondered this.
Then he gently tapped the data panel in front of him:
"Interesting logic,"

But that's no longer important.

But in the next second, the red alarms from the underground array suddenly began to blare deafeningly all around.

The scarlet words "Warning" flashed wildly on all the screens, like a flowing river of blood soaking the entire space.

This change startled the little black cat, and its fine fur almost stood on end, indicating a state of stress.
"I don't think I triggered any alarm signals, it wasn't me, it wasn't me!"

"It's someone else."

Su Wen said gently,

"Don't worry too much, the problem isn't on your end. Continue with the original plan."

Upon hearing this, the kitten simply curled up in the ventilation gap at the bottom of the control panel.

The tiny claw precisely pressed down on the data interface, and then a silver USB flash drive the size of a fingernail began to flash blue light at a speed visible to the naked eye:

[Data copying progress has started]

The USB drive containing this series of data was left to it by Caroline long before she left.

Perhaps this is the moment we've been waiting for.

The data copy progress bar is about to reach 100%.

As the progress bar gradually turned green, Xiaoye also scanned her surroundings warily with her amber pupils.

But at that moment, a screeching sound of metal scraping together inexplicably came from all directions. It was the sound of protective armor falling off, accompanied by a foul stench of rust mixed with biological slime.

In an instant,
Heavy footsteps suddenly came from the entrance to the underground array.

A squad of night watchmen burst through the half-closed metal door, the beams of tactical lights sweeping across the darkness. The leader, a man with a resolute face, gripped a rifle already bearing some scratches.
"Be careful, everyone."
The three teams immediately took control of the researchers who had been mentally hypnotized.

Two squads were on alert, while one squad immediately began searching for target data.

"receive."

After replying decisively,
The Night's Watch began to split into groups.
But the next second, Chen Feng, as the team leader, seemed to sense something, and he shouted:
"Something's wrong!"

At the same time, the protective armor of the entire underground array began to peel off in large areas.

The thick alloy plate shattered like a fragile eggshell, revealing the writhing flesh and blood inside.
What the kittens initially perceived as "protective armor" turned out to be incubation pods containing monsters!

Dozens of distorted monsters broke free of their restraints and crashed to the ground.

Their bodies were covered with dark purple exoskeletons, with magma-like orange-red fluid flowing from the gaps in their bones, and each breath they exhaled a scorching breath with the smell of sulfur.

What's most terrifying is the energy reaction they emit:
That's a fluctuation at the third-order median.

[Genetically Modified Body (Tier 3)] An immense sense of fear surged forth like a tangible wave.
The air itself seemed to vibrate with oppression.

They have no eyes, yet they can accurately lock onto living creatures; their sharp forelimbs gleam with a cold light capable of tearing through space; and their roars carry a mentally devastating impact.

"These bastards!"
They did indeed leave behind a defensive force; those cultists were just in disguise!

"All personnel on high alert! Organize a counterattack immediately!"

At Chen Feng's command, the second-tier Night Watchers immediately formed a defensive formation.

Although it's a battle across different classes, at least they are currently equipped with the most advanced Sigma-class weapons.

The energy rifle and grenade launcher fired simultaneously, blue energy beams and orange grenades tracing paths in the darkness as they slammed into the monster.

However, the defense of the third-tier mid-level monsters, which were still flesh-and-blood specialized, was beyond imagination. Energy attacks landed on their exoskeletons, leaving only shallow white marks, which only enraged them.

A monster lunged forward, its forelimbs easily tearing through a Night Watchman's tactical shield.

The sharp claws were almost touching the opponent's head:

"go!"

Chen Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

He shoved his teammate aside and took the hit himself with his shield.

But the shield was instantly covered in cracks. He grunted and took several steps back, yelling the retreat order into his headset.

"Come on!"

Clearly, this is just one example of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's underground search teams.

But at this critical moment between life and death, a very clear female voice suddenly rang in the kitten's ear, and the voice even carried a hint of laziness and laughter:
"Xiaoye, has my data interface been successfully connected?"

"Meow meow."

The cat, Xiaoye, emerged from the gap again, carrying the USB drive in its mouth, though its black fur was now covered in dust.

She didn't understand why Caroline didn't want to copy the array's core data, but instead wanted to insert the USB drive.

But the kitten understands that once the data implantation is complete, half of her mission will be accomplished.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away at the Estadt laboratory, Caroline was sitting in front of a control panel covered with displays.

After sensing the successful data connection, her data body stretched, letting her slender waist trace a graceful arc:
"Mr. Rhine, I'll head over now."

"Ah."

Su Wen observed the data that Faista was calculating and simply nodded slightly to her.

His actions only earned him a pleasant hum from Caroline:

"snort,

A man without any romance.

The hacker girl ran her fingertips across the keyboard.

Before the data disappeared, it only revealed a mysterious and playful smile:
"She can't compare to Xiaoye, such a good child."

Then,

Now it's time for me to have some fun with them.

Next second,
She then appeared in a location that the Night Watch squad couldn't see.

At the same time as her appeared a data field completely different from the Web Weaver's projection of [Deep Tokyo]:
[Exceptional Features: Give Me Light - Datafication - Legion Array ('Overclock' Tier 4)]

instantly,

Astonishing changes have occurred within the underground array.

Countless mechanical parts that were dormant in the corners, abandoned engineering arms, idle compressed energy stacks, and even recently detached mechanical shells suddenly started up:
