I, the warden of Delta, am a science popularizer and advocate for nuclear peace and friendliness.

Meanwhile, deep underground.

As Jacob stepped into the private elevator, the heavy alloy doors closed silently, shutting out the faint roar from the outside world.

He gripped the unassuming black cloth bag tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.

The elevator began its smooth descent, the cold metal walls reflecting his tense and gloomy face.

Sudden--

boom!!!

Even deep underground, the muffled thunderous roar still penetrated the layers of structure, transforming into a furious roar from the depths of the earth that poured into the sedan chair.

"Hold!"

This time, he's truly reached a critical level.

Immediately afterward, the elevator car jolted violently, all the lights went out, and the emergency lights instantly switched on, casting a ghastly white glow. A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over them!

"Damn it!" Jacob's pupils contracted, and his back pressed tightly against the wall of the compartment.

Bang!

A deafening roar, far louder and closer than any previous sound, erupted. The elevator car plummeted with terrifying speed before crashing heavily into the ground.

The enormous impact deformed the entire cabin, the floor arched, and the ceiling dented. Jacob was thrown up and then fell hard. If it weren't for his superhuman physical abilities and instinctive adjustments in a crisis, this blow would have been enough to seriously injure him.

The tremors gradually subsided, leaving only the slight creaking of the deformed metal and the steady hum of the emergency light source.

Dust filled the air as Jacob slowly stood up, supporting himself.

"Cough cough... At least we've arrived at our destination."

He looked at the scene before him and realized that he was currently on the third basement level, which was originally a level that Jacob had specially designed and that no one was allowed to enter.

Jacob stretched out his hands and forcefully pried open the deformed steel until he could fit inside.

"Ugh..."

He glanced at the gruesome 30-centimeter-long scar on his right hand, which hung limply at his sides.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a space that occupies only about 100 square meters, with an extremely narrow room and a ceiling that is only about two meters high.

Metallic chassis and servers are arranged in a crisscross pattern around the perimeter.

In the very center sits a table that resembles the GTI console, with an empty recess on it.

He forcefully ripped open the zipper of the black cloth bag, revealing three items inside.

These are military data terminals, quantum storage, and... Hafk satellite communications.

Jacob stepped forward and pressed the button on the military data terminal; the data panel then began to flash.

He then picked up the quantum storage device and connected it to an interface on the side of the table. Only then did the image on the military data terminal begin to stabilize.

After doing all this, Jacob picked up the satellite communicator and strode towards the right wall.

On the metal wall, there is a pipe leading from here to the disguised sewer opening above.

But by this time, the sewer pipe opening had been blown away and was nowhere to be seen. He could now even see the outside scenery through the tiny holes above.

A scene of utter darkness came into view; everything in the space base had turned to dust, leaving no trace of its former cyberpunk atmosphere.

Jacob connected a cable from the table to the satellite communication, then placed it at the pipe opening and began debugging.

After a series of operations, all the servers in the room suddenly started operating, emitting a deep blue glow.

He immediately went to the table, where the projector turned on and projected the image of a man.

The man was wearing a spacesuit but no helmet, and his skin was dark in color.

"Bashir, I've run into a bit of trouble..."

On the other end, a figure in a spacesuit listened quietly to Jacob's explanation.

"For some reason, one player stripped Gherros of his identity in the instance. He left that instance world and became an unpredictable factor."

"In short, our plans need to be brought forward."

Bashir nodded after hearing this. As Jacob's childhood friend and subsequent business partner, he would naturally stand on Hafk's side.

"I see."

The two exchanged a glance, then the communication ended, and the flickering projection vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

After explaining everything, Jacob collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief, while chaos reigned outside.

A full third of the soldiers died in the explosion. As the aftershocks subsided, some of the Hafk soldiers, now wearing protective gear and holding laser weapons, peered out.

Shigure's helicopter was also shaken off course. The pilot struggled to stabilize the aircraft, but ultimately could not escape the fate of crashing.

The two jumped out of the plane mid-air and fell straight down, one to the left and one to the right.

Frost covered the earth, and the lingering effects of the guided missile illuminated the dim night. The clouds had almost completely disappeared, leaving only dappled moonlight shining on the earth.

Shiyu and Geheros fell into the river surrounding the core area one after the other, splashing water more than three meters high with a loud bang.

Gollum-

Shi Yu used both her hands and feet, pulling herself upstream with her bare hands.

Meanwhile, the Hafk soldiers in the distance, realizing there was no danger, hurriedly rushed towards Shigure and the others.

"The enemy is there! Prepare for battle!"

"Take care of them immediately!"

"Capture them! Kill Gherros!"

"Kill the traitor!"

"Catch them and feed them to the Nile crocodiles!!!!"

The deafening shouts spread, boosting the morale of the troops, who rushed towards the river like pythons that had smelled blood.

Geheros took out the Heart of Africa and glanced upwards.

They were by the river at the Second Passage, where Geheros raised the Heart of Africa and aimed it at a spot.

"Sorry, the world is bigger than you."

"At this moment... when the stars are shining brightly!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the pale moonlight gathered like a tide, pouring into the translucent crystal of the Heart of Africa, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

hum-

The familiar tinnitus returned, and all the Hafk soldiers were slightly stunned at this moment.

"No! Retreat! Retreat!!!"

boom--!!!

As the streak of light flies across the night sky, the lingering moonlight clings to my fingertips.
