GOR Chapter 513 Defenceless City
Chen Xiaolian was in a dazed state
He stood within the roo on the surface of the wall
There was a stuffy feeling here – the roo time without any ventilation Thus, it was inevitable that the air inside becaht of that, a “beep” sound ca Although the systean operating, some sounds still came off it As Chen Xiaolian had enhanced his body before, it was only natural that he would be able to catch the sound
He subconsciously turned around to look at the ventilation duct of the roo into his roo on?
Chen Xiaolian stared idened eyes and began pondering the matter
His last piece offor ‘his own place’
And then?
And then… … … blank
I appeared inside this rooht!
So must have happened in between these two points
But why can I not re?
My memories… … they were erased? Edited?
What happened to me in Room Zero? What did I find out?
And… … what did I acquire?
He could clearly remember how he entered Zero City’s main system, the conversation he had with Zero City, the conversation regarding authority…
And how he had gone through the Mausoleuain
However, after entering Roo else
“The Hell!” Chen Xiaolian was unable to stop hi out in a hushed tone “Do you have to do this to me? Damn it, Zero City! What did you do to et turned on?
Is the power restored?
As Chen Xiaolian was in a daze, he heard Guan Shan’s voice co from outside the door
“Xiaolian! Are you inside? Sir Bluesea sentthe door Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! …
Chen Xiaolian, as still reeling from all this, was unable to recollect himself immediately It took hi on the door of his rooht”
Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and looked at the monitor screen before him On the surface of the screen was the reflection of his face
It was slightly blurry and unclear Although it was clearly his face there, for some unknown reason, Chen Xiaolian felt that it looked somewhat… … unfamiliar?
He shook his head and moved to the door
Guan Shan’s voice came from outside the door “Xiaolian? Is that you? What did you say just now?”
“I said… I arabbed the handle of the door and gently rotated it
Pata!
The door opened
Guan Shan, as standing outside, gaped at what happened
He stared with bulging eyes… … he was not looking at Chen Xiaolian Instead, he was looking at the opened door
His expression was one of stiffness while shock coloured his eyes
“What happened? You look like you just saw a ghost?” asked Chen Xiaolian with a frown
“I… …” Guan Shan stammered “Door, door opened?”
“Yes” Chen Xiaolian subconsciously nodded his head “You knocked on my door so I opened the door… …mm?”
“Has the system returned to normal? Is the power restored?”
Guan Shan instantly exclaimed
Next, the two of them looked around the corridor they were in…
All the rooms were still closed The doors were still locked
“You… how did your door…”
Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly “I do not know either”
Guan Shan was momentarily taken aback However, he quickly said, “A problem has occurred What I mean is, there is a problem with Zero City! An error has occurred in the systeht now, the operations of nearly every place have coht to himself: I knoever, none of that showed on his face He si Chen Xiaolian look at hih he was feeling puzzled, he quickly said, “Forget about all these first Sir Bluesea had et out, co?”
“The control centre of the Board of Patriarchs’ building… at present, that place is the safest place!” replied Guan Shan soleht” As Chen Xiaolian’s mind was in a mess, he had no time to consider much about it He siht Chen Xiaolian to the secured passageway However, after arriving before the secured passageway, Chen Xiaolian did not realize Guan Shan entering the passageway and instead continuedaround, Guan Shan saw that Chen Xiaolian was not following hi toward the elevator, he hastily shouted out, “There is no power, all the elevators are… asted
Chen Xiaolian casually pressed the button for the elevator and the non-functional elevator suddenly released a “ting” sound…
It was now operational
The expression on Guan Shan’s face was as though he had seen a ghost
“I… …” Chen Xiaolian s his brows as he observed the elevator before his of shock, Guan Shan simply had no time to worry about it “Let us hurry! We’ll talk about this once we reach Sir Bluesea”
Soon, the two of the into a street
Zero City’s system had shut down That included the systeht Thus, the street was covered in darkness
Even all the street lamps had been shut down There in the distance, so about to ensure safety
Seeing how dark the street was, Guan Shan produced two flashlights out He handed one of them to Chen Xiaolian and said in a hushed tone, “Hurry, follow ht”
Chen Xiaolian nodded his head and held onto the flashlight as he followed Guan Shan They then quickly
It was at that an to unfold
As Chen Xiaolian ran through the streets, wherever he stepped foot upon, the lights on either sides of the streets would suddenly light up one after another
It was as though they were specifically lighting up for him
When that happened, no s, he was sihts came to life in succession and came to an abrupt halt He turned around and stared intently at Chen Xiaolian
“You… … just what did you do? Just why… … this is…”
Chen Xiaolian had also stopped running
He furrowed his brows as he observed the surrounding streetlaht swirled quickly within his mind
Could it be… … me?
In the next instant, a presumptuous notion rose up within Chen Xiaolian’s mind
Could this be… … authority?
Just now, I had felt that this place was too dark If only there are some sources of illumination…
As a result, the streetlamps automatically lit up
Then, there hat happened in the hotel rooan operating
The door of the room could be opened
Is this… … authority?
Chen Xiaolian looked at Guan Shan, as looking at hiled expression mixed with shock on his face Chen Xiaolian then took a deep breath and waved his hand at him “Wait a bit”
He then raised his head to look at the ‘sky’ This so-called sky had turned into nothing but a stretch of darkness
Chen Xiaolian thought to hiht about that…
The world lit up!
…
Bluesea and Angel Wu were in the ered inside hastily
“It is up! It is up!”
“What is up?” Angel Wu retorted with a frown “Stop panicking and tell us slowly!”
The Angel Corps’ member took a deep breath However, there was exciteht system is up!”

The members from the technical departave the joyous news one after another Although Bluesea and Angel Wu had no idea what brought this about, they both gave sighs of relief
Good news came in succession from the personnel within the room and voices of excitement filled the room
“The locked authority over internal security is now unlocked!”
“The automated systeuilds’ respective el Corpssystelances There were looks of surprise and suspicion in their eyes However, as the outstanding leaders there, they temporarily suppressed the doubts in their hearts and quickly issued out orders
