Chapter 452 -341: Turbulent Winds and Clouds_1

Skynet Base.

This cold metal fortress stands silently on the ground, with Terminators bearing arms everywhere, massive robots rotating their barrels, aiming at the surroundings——The recent attacks on Skynet’s base had tingled Skynet’s caution, and every base had entered the highest alert state.

However, even Skynet hadn’t anticipated that there were other eyes watching this place covetously.

After a team of Terminators patrolled, a tiny shadow less than a meter in height suddenly appeared next to a metal box. It peeked around. Then it quickly strode forward. Although the Terminators here were on high alert at all times, this tiny shadow successfully evaded their scrutiny and came almost blatantly to the control terminal located in the center of the base.

Then it raised both hands and plugged them into the terminal.

Next, the screen in front blinked fiercely, and a strange symbol emerged!

“Beep——Beep——!”

A sharp alarm was suddenly raised.

“Sir Judge, someone is invading Skynet!”

At the same moment, Duanmu Huai received an urgent warning from Lumiaire.

“What’s the matter?”

“I have no idea, but someone is intruding into the Skynet network! Their speed is swift, the technology used seems beyond what humans on this planet possess!”

“…How could this be?”

Hearing Lumiaire’s anxious report, Duanmu Huai furrowed his eyebrows.

“Is the virus ready yet?”

“Not yet, I need some more time…”

“How much longer?”

“Two minutes.”

“Good, I need you to activate Project B now. Take advantage of Skynet’s distraction battling the invaders, immediately destroy all information regarding the Time Machine, then pinpoint the location of the Time Machine and call in an orbital airstrike to destroy it! After that, plant the virus into Skynet!”

“Yes!”

For Duanmu Huai, the importance of Skynet was far less than the Time Machine. The former at worst is just a machine civilization, but the frequent use of the Time Machine could potentially cause Subspace to seep into reality, a threat much graver than purely the Evil Intelligence. Therefore, Duanmu Huai had a contingency plan prepared. In case of an emergency, firstly destroy the blueprint and data for creating the Time Machine, then launch a Light-spear attack to utterly destroy it, even if it would expose him to Skynet, it was necessary.

Naturally, he was more inclined to catch everything in the net… However, it seemed to be impossible at the moment. Man proposes, God disposes.

The best he could do at the moment was to prioritize major issues while neglecting minor ones.

Thus, a war without smoke was waged on the network.

Skynet was not stupid, if someone dared to brazenly break into its database, it would naturally retaliate. However, the technology of the intruder was clearly superior to that of Skynet. Although Skynet tried time and again to resist the intruder’s attack and infiltration, its attempts were almost futile in the face of the antagonist’s powers. Soon, Skynet fell into a crisis.

But that wasn’t the end, because just when Skynet was focused on dealing with the mysterious external invader, Lumiaire, who had been lurking in the network, quickly sprung into action. With a lightning-fast move, she disconnected Skynet’s control over the database. After quickly reading the data on the Time Machine and locking the coordinates, she immediately deleted all the material on it thoroughly.

Skynet was not expecting another entity was backstabbing them. By the time it reacted, it was too late. This was normal. In comparison to the invader that forced their way in, Lumiaire was like a spy stalking around inside the city. She familiarized herself with every aspect of the city, so she didn’t need to launch a full-scale attack like they did and instead could aim straight for the jugular, killing with one blow!

Suddenly, the online world entered a fierce melee state with three parties involved.

The mysterious invader was disintegrating Skynet’s resistance whilst simultaneously downloading data from Skynet. On the other hand, Skynet kept constructing firewalls to fend off the invader. At the same time, Lumiaire showed her hidden cards after deleting the data on the Time Machine. She turned back around and started dissecting Skynet’s core algorithm.

To draw an analogy, Skynet right now was like a doomed person stuck in a biological crisis. It was desperately holding onto the door to prevent the zombies outside from breaking into its home. However, just when Skynet was unable to act, another individual who somehow made their way into its home not only burned down its belongings but even yanked down the trousers, carefully examining the colour of its underwear!

If Skynet had emotions, it would have died of humiliation by now.

Unfortunately, Skynet did not have such a thing.

However, Skynet was not totally helpless!

Soon, outside a gigantic base, the Terminator robots that were supposed to guard there sprang into action. They lifted their firearms and began shooting at the cables around. They even destroyed the satellite antennas completely!

“—————!!”

Watching the stagnation of the data flow before her, Lumiaire gently sighed and then reconnected with Duanmu Huai.

“Sir Judge, Skynet has severed all external communication lines. Unless I infiltrate its mainframe, there’s no way to further attack Skynet for now.”

Ah, a physical network disconnection.

Duanmu Huai didn’t care much about Lumiaire’s report after all, a physical network disconnection could put an end to all resistance.

No matter how powerful you are, without the internet, can you somehow create a connection through the air?

Although this also destroyed Skynet’s control over other bases and the Robot Legion, it was clear that all of these were unimportant to Skynet. They were simply expendables. As long as Skynet existed, it could be reborn!

As for Skynet now…never mind, let’s leave it.

Just then, Duanmu Huai had received the coordinates from Lumiaire and ordered a Moon Class cruiser to completely obliterate the Skynet base housing the Time Machine, shattering it into pieces. Thus, in the present circumstances, Skynet’s threat seems to be temporarily neutralized.

But, the problem is no longer Skynet now!

It is the mysterious invader!

Duanmu Huai had learned from Lumiaire’s report that the invader possessed technology far exceeding that of Skynet. If even Skynet couldn’t fend off its infiltration, it implied that the invader was definitely not from this planet. The fact that it invaded Skynet as soon as it arrived only indicated that its motives had nothing to do with good intentions!

Therefore, Duanmu Huai requested Lumiaire to immediately divert their course to investigate this foreign invader —— but to his surprise, Lumiaire gave him an unexpected piece of intelligence.

“Sir Judge, I have received a message from the Rebel Army, they are under attack and requesting assistance!”

“Assistance?”

Hearing Lumiaire’s response, Duanmu Huai’s expression darkened. Given that Skynet was currently struggling to protect itself, and laying low, who would be attacking the Rebel Army at this moment?

The answer was quite clear.

“Lock onto the coordinates, initiate teleportation! Let us see what’s going on!”

By this time, the others had also gathered around Duanmu Huai, and upon receiving the coordinates, he immediately initiated teleportation. A flash of brilliance enveloped them, and in the next moment, they found themselves on a battlefield.

Here was a ruined city with the sounds of gunfire and explosions incessantly ringing out. Not far off, a group of soldiers could be seen engaged in combat with a robot several meters tall.

Err… where did this thing come from? It doesn’t seem to look like a Skynet robot?

While slightly perplexed, Duanmu Huai didn’t ponder on it too much and directly issued an order.

“Ogis, Ann, Greiya, Felin, Lani, you all come with me, the rest help gather the remnants and retreat! Greiya, Felin, transform into dragon form!”

“Huh? What a bother…”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s order, Felin’s face showed unwillingness. However, she reluctantly took a deep breath, and in the next moment, the whistling cold wind erupted from around her, morphing her into a massive, crystalline, translucent Ice Dragon. Meanwhile, Greiya on the opposite side nodded, then with a triumphant roar she fixed her gaze forward.

“Mul—Qua—Diiv!”

The next moment, Greiya’s body was abruptly engulfed by a wave of dark energy, transforming her into a huge Black Dragon. Duanmu Huai then hopped on, landing on Greiya’s head, and swung his War Hammer forward.

“Attack!!”

The Rebel Army’s campsite was now in ruins.

When the monster rushed towards him, John Connor knew he was in big trouble. He hurriedly ordered the civilians to evacuate and made air defense preparations. However, he didn’t expect the strange being to easily break through the Rebel Army’s defense, even destroying their camp.

But the Rebel Army, having been in long term combat with Skynet, had accumulated a lot of experience in battling robots. They swiftly picked up their weapons and fought the robot. Although the robot was powerful, maybe it didn’t expect these rudimentary humans to be so tough. For a while, it seemed to be on the back foot.

Indeed, the robot was very powerful. At this moment, the Rebel Army tried as much as possible to divert its attention, allowing the refugees to evacuate. They could only rely on fighting amongst the rubble and ruins. They were still overpowered and kept their heads down despite all odds.

“Look out!!”

John Connor fired again, hitting the robot’s face. This seemed to make it even more furious. It raised its hand and John saw several missiles flying out towards him. He quickly covered his head and fell to the ground, only to see one of the rockets smashing into the remains of a building next to him. Amidst the explosion, the ruined building couldn’t stand anymore and collapsed, falling straight towards John Connor and a few soldiers.

We’re done for!”

Looking at the massive chunk of concrete hurtling towards him, John Connor fell into despair. But just as he closed his eyes awaiting his fate, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past his ear. The next moment, he felt as though he was flying backwards. With the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, he too fell back.

When he cautiously opened his eyes again, he found he had somehow moved far from his previous location. The collapsed ruins were not far away. And he…he was unscathed?

“Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?”

At that moment, a voice came from beside John Connor’s ear. He looked up towards the source of the sound to find an unfamiliar girl standing next to him. Upon closer inspection, there were two more girls next to her, one of whom was holding two soldiers and was currently setting them down. The other girl was flying in the air, also holding a soldier —— the latter was dumbfounded, seemingly terrified.

“You, you guys are…?”

Seeing these girls, John Connor hesitated for a moment, then immediately made the connection. After all, he had heard rumors in the intelligence reports about a girl among the mysterious attackers that could fly!

Could they be…those mysterious people?

“You should retreat first, leave this to us!”

“This…”

However, upon hearing the girl’s words, John Connor wanted to say something, but a thunderous roar interrupted him. Involuntarily, he turned his head towards the source of the sound, and was taken aback —— right before his eyes, a white dragon and a black dragon descended from the sky, charging directly at the Mechanical Monster!
