"Report the latest situation in the Abyss Zone."
"Storm intensity Level 4. No source of interference found. I repeat, no source of interference found."
The frontline commander of this operation, the captain of the Forest team, Yuan Mu, confirmed the information with the airship again. The conclusion that entered his ears was like a fat worm covered in burrs that crawled into his brain from his ear canal. It made his facial nerves twitch with a dull pain.
The face behind the metal visor probably had a toothache. Yuan Mu subconsciously clenched his teeth. "Please convert the storm's influence to the standard unit of interference in the Abyss Zone."
"No source of interference found. Unable to convert."
"Just give me a rough range."
"No source of interference found..."
"Don't you f * cking understand human language?"
The sudden rise in anger probably frightened the observer on the other side. The other side was silent for a full ten seconds. Seeing that the destination was right in front of them, the observer replied.
"If there is indeed a source of interference in the storm, the predicted value is between 5DG and 15DG."
"Not extreme value?"
"Not extreme value."
"Duration?"
"It has already exceeded 200 seconds."
Yuan Mu listened quietly. On the other side, the captain of the Mars team, Spot of Light, sighed and cut to the chase. "Crushing '601' and '1501' also kneeling..."
According to the Abyss Zone Effectiveness Verification Standard of the Inner World, in the absence of obvious interference, the power projected into the Abyss Zone reached or approached 1 standard unit (1DG), and maintained a relative stability for 60 seconds. Maintaining a relative stability for 15 seconds under the impact of a combat level, with a lower limit of no less than 0.1 standard unit, one could be considered a first-rate psychic ability user and could firmly stand among the ranks of Rank B.
Industry insiders simplified it to two code names, "601" and "1501."
In fact, among Rank B psychics, there were only a dozen or so people who could instantly exceed the limit of power projected to 5DG. And to maintain this interference force for more than three minutes, one could only consider it within the range of Extraordinaries.
As for increasing it by three times... Just the thought of it made the fat worm in his ear canal writhe even more violently.
It was no wonder that the observer on the airship didn't dare to make such a judgment. The chaotic situation without any source of interference was one thing, but the value that came out of the conversion was beyond reason, which was the most fatal.
At this moment, the two Deep Blue Teams that had descended rapidly from the flying ship had a total of 15 Deep Blue Walkers. They had activated their low-altitude maglev thrusters and were gliding noiselessly between the forest of tall buildings.
The central CBD area in the north of Spring City was shrouded in darkness. The hundreds of tall buildings were like pillars of smoke painted on the night sky, and the scattered lights that were embellished came from the electronic and lighting equipment of the citizens trapped in this area.
In this area, there would be nearly a million people every night. With the sudden power outage, the citizens were inevitably in chaos, especially after the backup power supply had a problem. In the face of the rare pitch-black night scene, the calls to the police were flying everywhere, causing the surrounding public security personnel to be overwhelmed.
The restless heat spread in the darkness, but just like the Chaos Windstorm in the Abyss Zone, the center could not be seen at all, and the beginning and end could not be found.
The current situation was too strange.
The detection equipment of all parties could confirm that a serious accident suspected to have occurred in the energy center that supplied the daily electricity of the CBD area. The electricity produced and converted by the small reactor had leaked out in large quantities, so much so that many lines had been damaged.
The energy current that had been forcibly seized did not "run" too far away, but instead converged in the energy center area, maintaining a high rate of consumption. According to normal logic, this should be someone or some people using the abundant energy in the energy center to drive some equipment. There were many possibilities if one were to consider it from the realm of extraordinary. But all of this became absurd with the huge amount of electricity that far exceeded the norm, and the use of ultra-high power.
If the energy center was an extremely high overdraft card, then this card was about to be maxed out. The problem was that no one knew where the POS machine was.
The two teams of Deep Blue Walkers could only listen to the judgment of the staff and head towards the designated probability area. In fact, it was a circle drawn with the energy center as the origin.
With such information support, in addition to the instant death of the B-rank spiritual-type Lan Xiang, and the clueless Chaos Windstorm in the Abyss Zone, it caused the battle-hardened Captain Yuanmu to adopt an extremely conservative attitude towards this mission.
When the metal outer armor of his feet touched the outer wall of the energy center building, Yuanmu once again asked the airship command center, "Have there been any new discoveries from the ability user association?"
After a few seconds, the observer returned with an unsurprising answer, "No."
"Then are we fighting with the ghosts of the Abyss Zone? Or the kind that can control thunder and lightning. "
The light spot made a joke that was not funny at all. At the very least, few of the fifteen members of the two squads, 'Forest' and 'Fluorescence', plus the hundred or so staff members in the command center of the airship could laugh.
At this moment, the two teams landed on the energy center building in succession. It seemed that the only good thing about this place was that it was an office area. At present, they had already gotten off work, and there were only a few people on duty. Moreover, they had already obeyed orders from above to evacuate in time. At least there would be a relatively spacious battlefield if they really encountered any troublesome ghosts, lightning-swallowing Aberrations, and the like.
Spot of Light was still letting his imagination run wild. "Maybe we found an Aberration that likes to drink electricity. That bro just had a full meal … What I mean is, it's really hard to imagine that a strong person who just completed a perfect robbery would stay in Spring City until now, and even use this kind of method to lure us all here."
Yuanmu calmly said, "Deep Blue has confirmed that the lost item is still in Spring City."
"What about the exact location? Also, do you want to confirm it again? "
"..." Yuanmu fell silent again. This was like facing the "stormy weather" of the Abyss Zone. He knew that there was definitely a problem, but he could not find the root cause no matter what.
In fact, Spot of Light also knew that as operation members, they should not worry about these "general issues". They were only weapons, not brains. Complaining and mocking was only to let the other team members understand the danger and severity of the situation.
Next, the two captains began to discuss the specific operation plan.
"Should we split up?"
"How many numbers do you have in the Abyss Zone?"
"I'm not a psychic!"
"Other than Oak, there's no one here who's psychic."
"Alright, about 0.2. If everyone plays with domains, we can occasionally reach the 5DG limit. "
"It's about the same on my side. Oak may be psychic, but he's more defensive. His limit is about 1.4, so …"
"Understood. We'll follow your lead."
The two captains quickly reached a consensus. The greatest advantage of the Deep Blue Walkers' system was that they could rely on the Format of Fire to build a Format Space and effectively display their collective strength. They could fuse the strength of several or even dozens of people into a furnace, until they could achieve a powerful power that was close to an extraordinary domain.
In the current situation, gathering as much strength as possible was indeed the most reasonable choice.
During the process of discussion, the two captains conveniently revised their route of advance. They still maintained a sharp and clear advancing speed, and at the same time, roughly understood the basic structure of the Format Space.
"The opponent can instantly kill a Blue Dragon from a distance. There's a 90% chance that he's psychic. Right now, our intelligence isn't good enough, so it's hard to have a preemptive strike. Therefore, before and after encountering the enemy, defense at the mental level is of utmost importance … Oak, the initial Format Link will center around you. Resist the first wave. "
"Yes." A muffled voice rang out. It was a short word, but it gave off a rather slow and sluggish feeling.
This was Oak, a large man that was 2.2 meters tall. After wearing the special exoskeleton armor, his height neared 2.7 meters. He was like a crane in a flock of chickens. Compared to the other Deep Blue Walkers, he seemed more like a cumbersome machine.
But aside from the two captains, he was another B rank powerhouse. Moreover, he was an extremely rare Burner that leaned towards the psychic side.
The Format Domain of the fifteen Deep Blue Walkers was completed as they advanced. Under the resonance of the Archetype Format, the Format of Fire of the fifteen people seemed to fuse into one. Every participant was a fulcrum that opened up a bizarre space that spanned across the material and mental planes.
Oak was the core pillar within this space, just as Yuan Mu had arranged it. But the others weren't simply energy providers. They maintained a clear and meticulous division of responsibilities. Although they were scattered and running, it was more like they were steering an invisible mothership. Through organic cooperation, the fifteen people were integrated together.
Speckled encouraged everyone, "Let's go. Format Space 7.0."
"..."
On the Deep Blue platform, the official name of this domain was still the Format Space. Now that it was in its seventh major version, the performance of each version would have a clear increase. In this latest version, the changes had only lasted for a little over two months. Only the two top teams, Forest and Mars, had completed their upgrades and the corresponding training and adaptation work.
This was a completely different experience from the previous version.
"Thank you, Professor Luo."
The more nervous he was, the more Speckled Speckled talked, forming a sharp contrast with Yuan Mu on the other side. This was probably the biggest obstacle for the two teams to break in.
Two minutes later, the Deep Blue Walkers had already passed through the surface of the energy center building and entered the core work area where the small reactor was installed.
In the meantime, Yuan Mu and the airship command center had conducted a few exchanges, but to no avail.
"We're like an expedition team thrown into a tomb..." Speckled Speckled mumbled as he used the night vision goggles to observe the surrounding environment. He quickly discovered another problem, "Isn't this place too dark?"
"It's too dark," Yuan Mu said at almost the same time.
The other members also gave feedback on this problem. No matter how the night vision goggles adjusted their mode and parameters, it was very difficult to clearly image the surrounding environment.
