Chapter 251. Explosion
"Ayu, retrieve the final images from all the cameras within 300 meters of the control room."

Zhu Yan quickly calmed down and said.

The artificial intelligence bowed slightly, and a blue halo indicating loading immediately appeared on the screen, with data cascading down like a waterfall.

"Access control complete, image data integration complete."

As soon as Ayu's electronic voice fell, hundreds of surveillance images simultaneously appeared on the screen.

Zhu Yan carefully examined the images and quickly realized that A Xiang's behavior surveillance was correct; the conspirators had simply adopted a more aggressive strategy.

In the video footage, seven mechanical companions, disguised as ordinary patients, frantically approach the control room, carrying mineral water bottles, tissue boxes, and even takeout bags.

Just as the behavior recognition module of the monitoring system was about to mark an anomaly, these everyday items suddenly emitted a blinding red light.

"boom!"

When the first explosion rang out on the surveillance footage, Zhu Yan unconsciously tensed his shoulders.

In the final moments of the footage transmitted from the shattered camera, fragments of flesh and blood could be vaguely seen amidst the flying plastic debris.

This was followed by a chain reaction—the second and third explosion points advanced toward the control room.

When the seventh surveillance video turned into static and noise, Zhu Yan had already seen the ending.

The firepower system, now blinded by the loss of its electronic eyes and muzzle, is now charging toward the core of the control room in a sacrificial manner.

"boom--!"

One by one, the surveillance cameras went black. The last image that remained lit on the screen was the moment the entire control room was torn apart by the shockwave.

After the video finished playing, all the camera feeds went black, and the room fell silent.

Zhu Yan kept replaying in his mind the tissue boxes and takeout bags that had exploded like gunpowder...

Does it have the ability to alter the structure of matter in space and turn it into explosives?

That talent seemed so familiar; she thought she'd seen it in the records.

Zhu Yan was just one of her alternate personalities, and her energy was limited. After taking over the War Alliance, she only thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of the high-ranking officials of the Hope Base she had appointed, while the appointments of the other bases were left to Fu Yunhui.

Although she entrusted the appointment to him, out of caution, she still glanced at the information in the document.

One of them was the head of the United Front Work Department of the Dawn Base, whose name seemed to be Cheng Duoduo. Her ability was spatial matter, which allowed her to tamper with the structure of matter.

Parallel Home looked pale and ashamed. She now realized that she had been let down by her incompetent teammate again.

Fu Yunhui's loyalty to the alliance is beyond question, but he is really stupid for promoting a mechanical apprentice from Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals.

This person rose to the position of Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Dawn Base, so he naturally knew some information among the high-ranking officials. After being manipulated by the conspirators, he went directly to the control room where Ah Xiang's mainframe was located and blew it up.

The parallel expert took a deep breath and slowly tapped his fingers on the table as he pondered.

Ah Xiang's mainframe was destroyed. Although Ah Yu took over her tasks, this artificial intelligence was meant to provide public consultation services and offer decision-making advice.

Its model is not connected to the weapon arsenal's manipulation algorithm, so it cannot control the hospital like Ah Xiang.

Her initial move regarding artificial intelligence was essentially ruined by the schemers' series of decisions. Dream Pavilion, being a manufacturing company, wasn't as large or well-connected as Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals, with more righteous individuals and hidden networks. This force itself could offer her very little help in orchestrating her scheme.

The Parallel Scholar lowered his gaze and looked out at the chaos outside the window.

To be able to do this, this old rival of Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals is indeed quite capable. However, she has a backup plan—that is, once A Xiang is destroyed, it will alert not only her but also Wen Yu.

The Dream Pavilion's headquarters, the Ideal Thirteen Cities, also needs elders to guard it. Since Chu Zhibai, Zuo Siquan, and Xia Qizhen have all been sent out, the Dream Pavilion only has five elders in total, with one remaining in seclusion. Therefore, Wen Yu can only stay at the headquarters.

After Ah Xiang is destroyed, the outlaws will rush to the base for assistance as quickly as possible, so even if the conspirators kill the artificial intelligence, she will still have a backup plan.

If she wasn't mistaken, the outlaw Wen Yu was already on his way.

only……

Zhu Yan looked towards the outside of the headquarters office, where clear footsteps could be heard. Then someone came to the door and placed their hand on it.

"boom----"

With a loud explosion, flying wood chips landed on the ground with a crackling sound.

A girl in a United Front Work Department uniform stood at the door, her eyes vacant, the moonlight streaming in from the window dividing her face into light and shadow.

"Long time no see, Parallelists."

The girl spoke in a rigid tone, as if giving a command.

"The Parallel Family's plans are still so meticulous, it's just a pity they chose the wrong power. If you were at Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals, you would surely shine brightly."

Zhu Yan simply smiled; she knew why the conspirators had manipulated this girl to infiltrate her headquarters.

As old adversaries, any schemer would know with their toes that the one who is as cautious as a parallel strategist, sitting in the back and making arrangements while caught in the storm, must be just a clone.

Knowing it was a clone, it still deliberately manipulated its mechanical followers to sneak over, purely to annoy her.

It's normal for wise men to play each other's dirty tricks in the end, since only a handful of top strategists can actually sit at the table. After a high-level game, the opponents are all familiar faces.

Seeing that Zhu Yan remained silent, the schemer, not finding it boring, manipulated his followers to continue speaking:

"Your Excellency Parallelist, next time you need to choose a good teammate."

Zhu Yan smiled and said:

"My teammates are indeed stupid, but they are still better than the schemer who chose a force that could stab you in the back at any time."

"A boss who's a walking skeleton, an ambitious colleague... Have you really seen through all the secrets of Black Eye Pharmaceuticals, sir?"

The manipulated followers also gave a stiff laugh:

"Some people set up schemes for the common people, some people set up schemes for fame and fortune, but I set up schemes simply because I'm happy."

"Parallelists, I don't have many years left to live. What do the secrets of Black Eye Pharmaceuticals and its impending future have to do with me?"

After saying that, the disciple clenched his hands slightly, and the figure with the high ponytail shattered into a wisp of ash.
