Chapter 152: Besieged

The Confederation Army had proceeded to N-2 Entrance, and the troops from both sides were seen fully prepared to infiltrate the island. It would not be easy for the Zergs on the island to withstand the attacks from both sides since they were on human territory.
Under Ma Xiaoru’s supervision, Dr. Gimmers turned on Sky-net and accessed FFC’s surveillance system, then he entered a three-dimensional passcode in order to open two of their emergency gateways; however, nothing happened after waiting for about ten seconds.
”What on earth is that, Dr. Gimmers?” Ma Xiaoru’s sounded unpleasant, she had been controlling her anxiousness, but she was about to reach her limits.
Dr. Gimmers became nervous as he remembered that all of those who practiced the Tactics of the Enchantress had strange tempers, and he would never want to piss her off since there was practically nothing that the princess of the FFC couldn’t and wouldn’t do.
”Miss, it looks like our system has been sabotaged by someone else, probably the traitor, and right now, I’m unable to open the emergency gateways,” Dr. Gimmers explained as he tried to activate the protocol again.
”I’m not interested in hearing your explanations, Dr. Gimmers. Fix it and save my friends now!”
Dr. Gimmers knew he would definitely be held responsible for this; however, he didn’t expect that the traitor would be so detailed and almost sabotaged everything they had. Nevertheless, he really would like to know why that person would go through all the troubles just to do this. Fortunately, he was the one who handled the overall defense mechanism, or else it would certainly cause a mayhem and eventually develop into a catastrophic incident if the Zergs escaped; not to mention that the Zergs were extremely hard to exterminate, just like cockroaches.
Which was why the Zergs that were brought back to Earth for experimental purposes had to be sterilized in the first place, but clearly there were a few missed outs on this island. Dr. Gimmers didn’t want the military forces to enter Paradise Island in the first place because he was trying to hide this from them. He knew that the FFC’s image would be affected once this was made public, or even worse... this would become the perfect chance for the ones behind this to uncover all of the secrets that belonged to the FFC!
Meanwhile, the Confederation Army had begun to launch their attacking protocol; meanwhile, everyone else was suspecting their ”spontaneity”.
”Why don’t we let Zhang Kui and Zhang Yan give it a shot?” Martyrus said as he saw the frustration on Dr. Gimmers’ face. Dr. Gimmers might have his scientific knowledge and contributions in experiments, yet obviously, he was not a good crisis handler.
A cunning old fox like Martyrus clearly knew this wasn’t a simple accident but a set-up from some other party, and based on Samantha’s calm expression, she seemed to have figured it out as well. The principals of military academies were just like politicians as they were also able to access classified information that wasn’t made public. Moreover, some principals of S-Ranked academies were even powerful enough to influence both military and political circles.
”I’m afraid we will have to give them a try!” Dr. Gimmers agreed after a small hesitation since he wasn’t familiar with this category. Things had begun to fall apart and what happened was way out of his expertise.
As the rest were seen worrying about Wang Tong and the other two who were still trapped on Paradise Island, the Zhang brothers showed great enthusiasm when they knew they were wanted for their expertise. Virtual system attacks normally required all sorts of equipment, but all thanks to Principal Martyrus, both Zhang Brothers were already given a laptop which contained state-of-the-art software and resources that would get the job done. Martyrus didn’t set any boundary for the two of them as long as they promised not to do anything crazy, this was his method of cultivating talents. He knew that the Zhang Brothers would have to unleash their capabilities in order to improve, which was why he decided to let them handle the virtual system attack. Martyrus had never expected that their expertise would be needed in such occasion.
The Zhang Brothers asked no questions and began to do their ”thing”; however, they seemed to look puzzled as they accessed the system.
”What’s wrong with the two of you? Why the long faces?” Martyrus asked.
”Sir, someone planted an intelligent, five-dimensional randomizing program into the system, we have never seen something like this before.”
”Cut the crap, will both of you be able to handle it?”
”Yea, but we won’t be responsible if the whole system falls apart!” Zhang Yan said.
Martyrus looked at both of them and ordered, ”Fix it!”
”Haha, leave it to us then!” The two of them immediately began their attack. On the other hand, the Intel Programming personnel of the military had also begun to attack Paradise Island’s system in their warships.
Dr. Gimmers was certain that Paradise Island’s ultimate defense system would never be subdued that easily. The five-dimensional randomizing program was the most expensive program for the time being, and it seemed that the traitor’s target was not to destroy everything but to plant a digital virus by using its position in this company as a cover. Somehow, the randomizing program had triggered the self-defense mechanism of the main system which wouldn’t let anything go in or out. How Dr. Gimmers wished Allens, who was the expert in this category, was here to help, but right now, he had no choice but to leave it to the kids.
The enthusiastic brothers began to exercise their expertise; however, they were still struggling to break through the island’s defense mechanism; meanwhile, everyone else could only wait patiently since they were not able to do anything else.
