I work as an editor at Marvel.

The Tyrant's combat network is still being maintained by the Red Queen. Frank's attack will be much smoother if he can keep the Red Queen occupied.

"I'm trying, I'll do it as soon as possible," Frank replied.

After replying, Frank looked at the intricate and ever-changing passages in front of him with a terrible headache. The Red Queen was using the terrain and some pre-built mechanical equipment to frantically delay time. They had advanced for so long, but they hadn't encountered many enemies, but they hadn't actually advanced much distance either.

"We're not playing hide-and-seek with her anymore. You guys continue the attack and find her location. I'm going to meet her in the data network!"

Frank opened his visor and addressed the other soldiers.

Holy Gun Ranger Magic Device - Project Mode, deploy!

Numerical symbols representing data cascaded down the surface of the armor like a waterfall.

The world Frank could see in this mode was completely different from before. The invisible information network lost its mysterious veil and became clearly visible in his eyes.

Ruthless Pursuit!

Frank activated the phase shift of the magic device, directly entering the digital world composed of virtual signals from the real material world.

Red Umbrella's most powerful AI, Red Queen, immediately detected Frank's intrusion, and the entire digital world instantly changed as a series of digital viruses of various forms tentatively invaded Frank's territory.

These viruses encompass all types of viruses stored in the Red Queen's database, representing the pinnacle of digital viruses in the world. Frank's current location is also an area under the Red Queen's relative control, where she can easily perform operations that create something out of nothing.

Information shield activated!

A thin green shield appeared around Frank. The green code defense system in Frank's system was the most important thing that made him so confident. Because it was designed with the computing power of Frank's own system in mind, it did not have any offensive capabilities.

However, its filtering ability is maximized; if represented by a hexagon, it would be a straight line reaching the sky.

In the digital world, maximum filtering capabilities also mean extremely strong defense capabilities. All attacks here exist in digital form and cannot penetrate Frank's collection, so they cannot be effective.

Finding that the virus intrusion was ineffective, the Red Queen activated the second plan, which affected Frank's "perception," that is, altered the digital environment around him.

Frank's movement in the digital world is based on the architecture of this world; ordinary single-layer information networks cannot handle such a massive amount of data.

After the Red Queen began to interfere, Frank discovered that the architecture of the information network he was in was constantly changing. Wherever he wanted to go, the path would immediately disappear, and an alternative path would appear in another place. Of course, the same thing would happen again when he chose that direction.

“Interesting. You don’t really think I don’t have any information output devices, do you?” Ferranco suddenly said.

No matter how powerful a system is, if it has no ability to output information, its combat effectiveness in the digital world is zero. Of course, the Project Origin model wouldn't be that stupid.

Frank stretched his hands forward and raised them slightly, and two signal output devices that looked like particle beam pistols fell into his hands.

Passionate and intense!

A highly focused signal flare exploded into the digital world in front of Frank, creating ripples that spread out in circles.

Despite Red Queen's swift response and powerful computing ability that suppressed Ripple, Frank still managed to secure his next foothold.

As he moved to the next location, Frank's gun never stopped firing. The influx of irrelevant information made the entire digital world unstable, which was exactly the effect Frank wanted.

The instability of the digital world will directly affect the Red Queen's performance. In fact, if the world collapses, the Red Queen may experience a brief downtime, but Frank himself will not be affected.

Frank simply transformed himself into a digital form using the Project: Origin mode, and the green code protected his core from receiving other strange information. In this way, if the digital world collapsed, he would only need to transform back into digital form.

Forget about the danger to his life; aside from consuming a lot of energy, Frank wouldn't even break a sweat.

Chapter 233 The Red Queen: I Have a Temper Too

After the two simplest methods of dealing with the situation failed, the Red Queen had no other options but to confront Frank head-on.

In an instant, countless collections of information, some illogical and others illogical, appeared in the digital world. These worm-like things, guided by the Red Queen, launched an attack on Frank.

Frank also became serious. After all, he was on someone else's turf, surrounded by enemies. If he continued to fight like this, he couldn't be sure if his green code defense system could continue to function perfectly. If any oversight occurred, Frank would have to fight the Red Queen to the death in this digital world, with no way out.

Just as the battle on this battlefield, which no one could observe, reached its climax, Rogers suddenly discovered that the tyrants in front of him were not coordinating properly. The distribution of firepower, their overlapping positions, and so on were not as oppressive as they had been at the beginning.

There's been progress on Frank's end!

Rogers instantly realized his chance had come and slammed his large shield down onto the ground.

A violent shockwave! A glacial crevasse!

The massive tremor radiated outwards from Rogers, and the soldiers who had received prior warnings from the interactive system retreated dozens of meters to avoid the epicenter of the tremor.

Then, Rogers suddenly swung his right hand up, and a huge, churning glacier rose from the ground, splitting the entire passage in two and freezing part of the Tyrant inside the ice.

Nano Biochemical Suit - Shooting Mode Activated! Magnetic Energy Shooting Gun - Sniper Mode Activated!

All the soldiers following Rogers aimed their fire at the unsteady Tyrant. With the system's proper assistance, no Tyrant was missed, and no single Tyrant was targeted too many times.

biu!

A purple light flashed through the air, like a line extending from the muzzle of a gun, with an energy bullet that was as solid as could be in the center of the line.

Before the guide line disappeared, all the sniper bullets hit their targets. The huge impact sent the Tyrant flying, their skulls shattered, and the control chips in their brains broke into pieces, flying around with their flesh and blood.

This kind of penetrating attack is generally ineffective against enemies with extremely strong recovery abilities, such as Tyrants, since the damage area is too small and they recover very quickly.

This time was different. After the Tyrants, whose chips had shattered, recovered, they no longer resembled soldiers. The firearms in their hands suddenly seemed unfamiliar to them. After a brief pause, one Tyrant after another raised heavy machine guns weighing over a hundred pounds, swung them over their heads, and charged toward Rogers and his men.

Judging from its appearance, this heavy machine gun is just a large spiked club in the eyes of the current tyrant.

Even after losing the unified scheduling of the chip, some of the tyrants that had crashed together still started fighting. They completely lost their ability to determine friendly forces, and it can be said that living creatures were their primary targets. However, if there were any of their own kind blocking their way, they would choose to take down their own kind first.

The scene suddenly descended into chaos. Rogers and his companions' opponents transformed from well-trained war machines into barbarians from a primitive civilization. Although these barbarians possessed the individual strength to easily kill an elephant one-on-one and were utterly insane and oblivious to pain, the battle became surprisingly easier.

Sergei stared at the control panel in the main control room, his expression extremely grave. Purple veins bulged from under his skin, and something resembling fungus seemed to be floating among them.

Looking to the left, I figured the situation on Red Queen's side would probably drag on for a long time, but that was all. It would just be a delay, since the soldiers Frank brought weren't going to be useless. They were getting closer and closer to Red Queen's server room.

Looking to the right, it was clear that the Tyrant's side was doomed. They were a disorganized bunch and were no match for the soldiers of the multi-human united civilization. Even if they put down their weapons, these soldiers could still take on the Tyrant one-on-one with their nano-protective suits.

Finally, Sergei looked at the screen in front of him, which showed the virus research center. Strange plants grew wherever Vernon walked, and these plants were extremely aggressive. Some of the base's basic defense systems were on the verge of collapse.

As a research center, it actually has the fewest viruses among the three centers. After all, the evolution of individual viruses can contaminate the original virus samples, which is not a good thing for virus research.

After a moment of silence, Sergei turned and walked toward the gate. Several tendrils or vines emerged from his shoulder bones, piercing through his flesh and waving wildly in the air.

The great and wise Spencer still hadn't given any clear orders, and I had to buy him enough time to make a decision.

Sergei's last thought echoed in his mind, and then the virus, which had been fully activated in his body, began to regenerate wildly. Suppressing the destructive mental interference caused by these viruses had already exhausted all of Sergei's strength, and he no longer had the energy to think about anything else.

Even after Sergei left the main control room, Spencer's images and orders still did not arrive.

Suddenly, a hidden password input page popped up on the control screen, and a series of complex passwords were quickly entered into it.

"Overall control has been granted, and forced remote high-speed transmission of information has commenced."

The moment the progress bar appeared, Frank in the digital world realized something was wrong. It seemed that the Red Queen's computing power had been forcibly occupied by some program, and the intensity of the attack was on a completely different level from the beginning.

With a hiss, the virtual image of the Red Queen suddenly appeared in front of Frank, expressionless and quite abnormal.

The Red Queen was designed with many different expressions. Her default expression when she's idle should be a smile, but the way she looks now doesn't look like a smile at all.

Frank was startled and took several steps back. He had no idea what was going on. The enemy had suddenly become incompetent, and then the "real thing" he had been searching for suddenly appeared? This felt like a trap no matter how you looked at it.

Despite the thought, attacking was still the best option, since even if the attack missed, it would only be a waste of energy.

Baptism by the Holy Lance!

Information beams rained down on the Red Queen like a storm. The Red Queen's main structure began to fluctuate under the impact of this information, and when the error rate reached a certain limit, a forced restart began.

The digital world followed suit and collapsed in large part. Frank was a little confused; this victory came too strangely and was completely incomprehensible.

Inside the main control room, the lights suddenly went out, and a second later, they came back on as the red light restarted.

"Information transmission has been interrupted. Please enter the control password again..."

An input box pops up on the console screen, and the password fills the input box before it even fully appears.

"Incorrect password. Please re-enter. You have 2/3 of your attempts..."

This time, the situation was exactly the same as before. The password was filled as soon as the input box appeared. This happened twice, and the password control option was completely locked. It could only be unlocked manually.

A few seconds later, the input box on the console started accepting passwords again, this time at the same speed as the first time.

Pressing the OK button immediately displays an error message: "Password entry attempts have exceeded the limit. Please manually disable some storage elements in nc250 or restart the main control program."

After reading the prompt, the person remotely entering the password seemed stunned and made no further move for a long time. Only the red text on a white background continued to flash, and the information transmission progress bar was stuck at eleven percent with no further signs of change.

Chapter 234 Spencer, This is My Last Loyalty!

Inside the virus research center, Vernon held a universal reader, plugging it into every visible interface and reading all the information he could receive.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire corridor dimmed for a second. Vernon looked up at the ceiling, and at the same time, the progress bar of the universal reader went up to full speed. The information defense and screening of the virus center had just failed for a moment. Although the information transmission was also interrupted, the data that was being analyzed in advance was read successfully.

"Captain, we may have won, but something's strange," Frank's voice came through the headset.

After Red Queen gave up resistance, Frank's team reached the last floor, Red Queen's server room, in less than a minute by brute force and took control of the place. Even if Red Queen suddenly changed her mind, it would be too late.

"Okay, I understand. Just keep an eye on that area. I reckon this attack is almost over." Vernon said calmly as he listened to Frank's explanation, his eyes fixed on a passageway leading to the hall, where heavy footsteps could be heard.

With his right hand slightly extended forward, the inscription on his right wrist lit up, and a wooden staff fell into Vernon's hand.

Thorns entangled!

The moment the figure appeared, Vernon didn't wait and launched an attack. Thorns with sharp spikes lashed out at the target, then bound it like a python.

The moment the thorns pierced his skin, the highly toxic fluid flowed from Sergei's body into the thicket of thorns. Within two or three seconds, Vernon completely lost control of the thorns, and the entire thicket of thorns gradually turned into rotting pus before his eyes.

Sergei then appeared completely before Vernon, but he was no longer recognizable as a human being.

The entire body bulged abnormally, as if clumps of hardened cells were bursting through the skin, while the blood vessels and nerves connecting to the extremities of the body appeared as inconspicuous green threads. These threads floated in the air like the tendrils of a banyan tree, absorbing information molecules from the air as they floated.

Vernon frowned. The strange polymer in front of him had become a hybrid of a human and a plant. If anything, it should be called a vegetative person.

Despite having some connection to plants, Vernon's sixth sense told him not to be foolish enough to try to control the guy in front of him; it would be ineffective and could only cause him trouble.

Drying technique!

The Vernon Staff pointed at Sergei, and the green light flashing at the tip of the staff accurately hit the target. This spell was originally used to preserve some precious herbs, but it was later improved and can also be used to attack some enchanted plants.

The damage from the attack mainly comes from the rapid dehydration process that occurs after the spell takes effect, which inflicts damage on the plant itself.

Under the influence of the withering spell, Sergei's skin began to wrinkle a little, as if he had been soaking in water for too long. Apart from that, there were no other changes. As a person in a vegetative state who possesses both human and plant characteristics, Sergei has a high resistance to this kind of one-way spell.

Immediately afterwards, Sergei slowly raised his right hand little by little. As he raised it, there was something incomprehensible stuck between his right arm and his side abdomen. It looked like mucus or some kind of tissue. In short, he really looked like a plant now.

Moonfire! Starfire!

Vernon's attacks never stopped, but none of the spells he cast were very effective against Sergei, and they did very little damage to him.

Just then, Sergei's raised right hand suddenly split open, and five twisted things that looked like muscles or tree trunks gushed out from where his fingers had been, crashing down on Vernon.
