"Very well! If that's the case, you can have the Core of Will! " Demonic Monarch tossed the headband to Jiang Fei. However, just as Ariel was about to kill Demonic Monarch, Demonic Monarch pressed a button next to him.
"Warning! Warning! The base will self-destruct in sixty seconds! All members, please evacuate immediately! "
"Warning! Warning! The base will self-destruct in sixty seconds! All members, please evacuate immediately! "
…
"0542, cancel self-destruct!" Jiang Fei was not worried when he saw Demonic Monarch activating the base's self-destruct mechanism. After all, the base's central computer was of a very low level. 0542 could take over almost instantly. Canceling the self-destruct program was a piece of cake for Jiang Fei.
"Captain, the self-destruct program here is manual. The central computer does not have the authority to stop it!" 0542 once again disappointed Jiang Fei.
"You'd better not chase after me! Otherwise, all the old guys in the detention room will die with me! " Demonic Monarch smiled proudly at Jiang Fei. He then took out his communicator and started calling. "Headquarters, headquarters, this is Z13-0. Mission failed. Requesting teleportation!"
"Husband, what should we do?" Ariel looked at Jiang Fei. If she fully activated the Electromagnetic Barrier, she could stop Demonic Monarch from escaping. However, as Demonic Monarch had said, if Ariel continued to chase after him, Demonic Monarch might be killed. Jiang Fei and the others did not have much time left. Although they could teleport away when the base self-destructs, Yang Xiao and the others would be dead.
"F * ck! Forget about him! Let's go to the detention room! "Jiang Fei put the headband on Bella and asked Ariel to teleport away.
Swoosh! With a flash of white light, Jiang Fei and the others returned to the detention room. At the same time, Jiang Fei put on the wristband for Bella. Although Bella's body was still very weak, with the protection of the Core of Will and the Valium to sustain her life, Bella's condition was considered stable.
"Teleportation approved!" At the same time, Demonic Monarch finally received a response from headquarters after calling for five or six times. A white light flashed and Demonic Monarch and the energy blocks were all teleported away.
"Little Fei, is she okay?" Yang Xiao looked at the weak Isabella with a concerned expression. These old guys were all smart. Of course, they knew how to leave a good impression on Jiang Fei. After all, Jiang Fei was their only hope.
"She's fine. Hurry up and tell me how to stop that self-destruct device!" Jiang Fei asked anxiously. These military and political leaders were all ordinary people. They could not use Ariel's teleportation to escape. If the base self-destructed, they would be buried with it.
"Those robots changed their program after the rebellion. We don't know how to stop the self-destruct program now." Yang Xiao shook his head.
"Sigh!" Jiang Fei frowned. Wasn't Yang Xiao talking nonsense? If the program could stop the self-destruction, would Jiang Fei still need to ask them?
"I know of a way." At that moment, an old man in overalls walked over.
"I say, Sir, what time is it now? If you know, just tell me!" Jiang Fei listened to the countdown timer in his ear. There were only 30 seconds left. He was about to die from anxiety, but this old man was still taking his time.
"Oh! Okay! " After being urged by Jiang Fei, the old man spoke faster. "This base's self-destruction system uses high-voltage electricity to stimulate the neutron reactor, and finally causes an explosion …"
"I don't want to know how it works. I just want to know how to stop it!" Jiang Fei was almost anxious. He really could not communicate with these technical researchers.
"Oh! Simply put, you just need to completely cut off the base's power! "The old man paused for a moment before saying.
"Why didn't you say that earlier?" Jiang Fei glared at the old man. At that moment, there were only 10 seconds left on the countdown timer.
"Ariel, it's up to you now!" Jiang Fei turned around. Ariel was better at things related to electricity.
"Okay!" The girl nodded, and then her body floated up. When Ariel opened her eyes again, her pupils had disappeared, and only the whites of her eyes were left, just like Phoenix back then!
Crackle … Crackle … The surrounding equipment, including the lights in the corridor, were flashing with electric sparks. Electric snakes were connected to Ariel's body. The girl was desperately absorbing the stored electricity in the base.
"Husband, go and help her. She can't take it anymore!" Although Isabella was weak, she still had her Level 5 eyesight. At that moment, although Ariel was crazily absorbing the electricity, she was only a pseudo-Level 5. It was impossible for her to store so much energy.
"0542, absorb!" Jiang Fei grabbed a cable and let the electricity flow through his body into the mysterious ring. However, the speed was much slower than Ariel's.
"Captain, this is an inefficient energy conversion rate. I suggest that you activate the active absorption mode!" 0542's voice rang in Jiang Fei's mind.
"Quickly!" Jiang Fei shouted anxiously in his heart. At the same time, the base's alarm had already counted down to five seconds.
"Four!"
"Three!"
After 0542 activated the active absorption mode, the entire base turned dark. Some of the lights far away from Jiang Fei and the others went out.
"Two …"
At that time, the system alarm seemed to have been played in slow motion. It sounded out of tune. Obviously, it was caused by a lack of electricity.
"One …" Even so, the base's system still finished the countdown.
"It's over!" Jiang Fei's vision went dark. He looked at the electricity that was continuously being sent through the cable. Clearly, they had not completely absorbed all the electricity.
"Pfft …" The explosion that Jiang Fei expected did not happen. Instead, a faint sound was heard. Immediately after that, even the prison cell was completely dark.
"Is there a power outage?" Jiang Fei could not believe it.
Bang bang bang … However, the darkness only lasted for a few seconds. The lights in the corridor were back on.
"F * ck! Ariel, absorb again! "Cold sweat dripped down Jiang Fei's forehead.
"No, no, no …" The old man in the work uniform from before rushed over to stop Jiang Fei. If Isabella had not stopped him, the old man would have become a barbecue.
At that time, Jiang Fei and Ariel's bodies were filled with high-voltage electricity. Both of them were high-tier Metahumans. Ariel could control electricity herself, and Jiang Fei had the mysterious ring to protect him. Therefore, the two of them were fine. The old man was just an ordinary person. If he dared to touch him, he would definitely become a charcoal.
"What's wrong?" Although Isabella stopped the old man, Jiang Fei also stopped moving.
"This is because the backup power has been activated. The backup power's voltage is not enough to activate the destructive device. However, if the backup power is also gone, the base's life-support system will also be terminated. When that happens, we will die of suffocation," the old man explained.
