A bizarre and terrifying experience; I messed up the dungeon world.

A violent tremor came from outside the control room. Li Changsheng accelerated the assimilation process from above.

She picked up the USB drive. Her mind was a jumbled mess.

Is Zhou Lang the main system?

She plugged the USB drive into the port on the control panel. A video file appeared on the screen.

She clicked play.

In the video, it's Zhou Lang. He's standing with his back to the camera in a huge circular room. In front of him is a transparent sphere containing churning black liquid.

"The underlying logic is deadlocked," Zhou Lang said in the video. His voice was exhausted. "We can't get out. Yingying. I'm sorry."

The video ends.

Han Yingying unplugged the USB drive and put it in her pocket.

She looked up at the ceiling of the control room.

"Then let's go and call them. Let's ask them face to face," she muttered to herself.

She pulled out the six-barreled Gatling gun. She pointed the muzzle at the ceiling.

Fire.

Bullets tore through the metal floorboards. She was going to fight her way from the underground to the top of the tower.

The red fog in the real world thickened even more at this moment. Chapter 54

The Gatling gun barrel rotates. Flames spit out.

Bullets rained down on the metal ceiling.

A harsh metallic scraping sound rang out. Iron filings fell.

A hole one meter in diameter was punched through the ceiling.

Han Yingying released the trigger.

Throw the scorching Gatling gun into your spatial backpack.

She bent her knees. She jumped.

Grab the edge of the gap with both hands. Do a pull-up. Roll over onto your back.

This is the lobby on the first floor.

Players from the Black Gold Guild are moving sandbags to establish a defensive position.

They had their backs to the gap.

Hearing the noise behind them, the group turned around.

Han Yingying stood there.

She didn't speak. She tapped her right hand in the air.

A fully automatic shotgun appeared in his hand.

Loading.

Fire.

The steel balls flew out in a fan shape.

The first three players had their armor pierced.

Health bar depleted. Falls to the ground.

There were no screams. The game mechanics blocked the sense of pain.

The remaining players raised their guns and returned fire.

The bullet struck Han Yingying in front of her.

A blue energy shield lit up.

The bullets turned into scrap metal and fell to the ground.

The leader of the Black Gold Guild this time is Zhao Hai.

He hid behind the service desk.

Looking at the battle log on the system panel.

You are under attack from an unknown target.

[Damage calculation error.]

[Target Level: Unreadable.]

Zhao Hai stared at the garbled text on the screen.

He didn't understand.

He had never seen such data since the game's launch.

He is a level 45 Shield Guardian.

The heavy armor he wore was commissioned by the guild at great expense. It was bulletproof and protected against energy weapons.

He poked his head out.

Han Yingying switched to an electromagnetic rifle.

The gun was pointed at the service counter.

Pull the trigger.

A blue beam of light pierced through the marble countertop.

It pierced through Zhao Hai's heavy armor.

Zhao Hai stared at the large hole in his chest.

The health bar disappeared.

He fell to the ground.

It transforms into a bunch of polygonal data blocks. Then it dissipates.

Han Yingying walked forward, stepping on the bullet casings scattered on the ground.

There are five people left in the hall.

Han Yingying put away the electromagnetic rifle.

Take out two high-frequency vibrating knives.

The blade emitted a faint hum.

She took a running start. She slid in.

Dodge the incoming bullets.

He stood up. He swung his knife.

Two people's heads fell off.

She turned around, gripping the knife in a reverse grip.

The knife handle struck the third person on the back of the head.

The man fainted.

Han Yingying delivered the final blow.

The remaining two men threw down their guns and ran towards the stairwell.

Han Yingying did not pursue it.

She brought up the permissions panel.

Click on [Environmental Interaction].

The fire doors in the stairwell automatically lock.

The two people bumped into the door.

Han Yingying walked over.

Two cuts. Problem solved.

She wiped the blood off the blade.

Sheathed his twin swords. Pushed open the fire door.

The stairwell was dimly lit.

The emergency light on the wall was flashing red.

She looked up.

The staircase is in the wrong direction.

The steps that originally led upwards now extend downwards.

The direction of gravity has been modified.

Han Yingying stood still.

A memory flashed through my mind.

There were two cups of coffee on the desk.

Zhou Lang sat in a swivel chair, typing on a keyboard.

The screen displays a three-dimensional architectural model.

"Reverse the gravity axis. Players will fall if they walk here," Zhou Lang said.

Han Yingying took a sip of coffee.

"Too troublesome. Players will get lost. Just add a gravity anchor point. Breaking the anchor point will restore normalcy."

"Okay. I'll do as you say." Zhou Lang modified the code.

"What's this level called?" Han Yingying asked.

"An inverted tower," Zhou Lang said.

Han Yingying looked at the stairs in front of her.

She didn't want to find a gravity anchor point. It was too much of a waste of time.

She opened her backpack.

He took out a grappling hook gun.

Aim at the stair railing above. Fire.

Steel claws were driven into the metal pipe.

She pressed the close button.

The rope tightened, pulling her up completely.

She was suspended in mid-air.

Both feet are on the upside-down ceiling.

The magnetic boots activate and attach to the metal surface.

She walked forward upside down.

The laws of physics have no effect on her. She has the corresponding equipment.

Go up to the second floor. Push open the door.

The second floor is a huge circular server room.

Rows of servers were flashing green light.

Three monsters stood in the center of the computer room.

He is two meters tall.

The upper body is human, and the lower body is mechanical tracks.

The right arm is a heavy machine gun.

Stitching guards.

This is the security AI she designed back then.

It will automatically activate when an unauthorized intruder is detected.

The three stitched guards turned their heads.

The red electronic eye locked onto Han Yingying.

"Unauthorized personnel detected."

A mechanical synthesized sound rang out.

Three heavy machine guns opened fire simultaneously.

Han Yingying did not activate her shield. Shields have a cooldown period.

She rolled to the left.

They hid behind a row of server racks.

The bullet hit the server rack. Sparks flew everywhere.

She pulled up her tactical goggles. She put them on.

Through the server rack, I could see the thermal outlines of three guards.

The guard's weak point is the heat dissipation vent at the track joint.

She took out an electromagnetic pulse grenade.

Pull the ring. Throw it out.

The grenade exploded in mid-air.

A blue ripple spread out.

The three stitching guards paused in their movements.

The machine guns ceased firing.

The electronic eye is flashing. The system will restart in three seconds.

Han Yingying rushed out from behind the server rack.

He was holding a plasma cutting gun.

Three seconds.

She ran to the side of the first guard.

Aim the gun at the heat sink. Fire.

The high-temperature rays severed the internal circuitry.

The defenses are paralyzed.

She turned around. She glided.

They came to the second guard.

Same location. Fire.

The third guard has restarted. The machine gun is raised.

Han Yingying threw the cutting gun in her hand directly at it.

It hit the security camera.

The defender's line of sight was obstructed. Machine gun fire was indiscriminate.

Han Yingying drew her short knife and jumped onto the tracks.

The blade slid into the gap in the armor.

The main control chip's ribbon cable was broken.

The guard lowered his head and remained motionless.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

Han Yingying drew her knife.

He glanced at the terminal on his wrist.

The flow of time is accelerating.

She must find Li Changsheng quickly.

There is an elevator at the end of the computer room.

She walked over and pressed the up key.

The elevator doors were not open.

The screen next to it lit up.

Li Changsheng's face appeared on the screen.

"You can't get up here," Li Changsheng said.

"I have control of this tower."

Han Yingying looked at the screen.

"You're just an NPC."
