166: Chapter 166 The live broadcast signal was cut off? No, the satellite was hacked.

The screen was filled with flickering static, accompanied by a harsh, buzzing electrical sound.

The livestream, which had millions of viewers and was in a frenzy over that five-meter-tall biochemical mecha just a moment ago, had all its vitality forcibly cut off in this second.

It was as if a rooster screaming in a frenzy had its head chopped off with a single stroke.

The whole world instantly went quiet.

Chen Nuo stared blankly at the phone in her hand, which had gone completely black.

She tapped the screen hard twice, then held the phone up to search for a signal, her small face, still streaked with tears, full of confusion and helplessness.

"No internet?"

"Brother, why doesn't my phone even have a single bar of signal? Even your Elysium Manor WiFi is disconnected!"

Chen Nuo turned her head, her voice still carrying lingering fear and a sobbing tone.

Chen Yuan stood where he was and let out a long sigh of relief.

The nerve that had been stretched to the breaking point finally relaxed a little. He raised his hand to rub his throbbing temple, feeling that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Fortunately, it was cut off in time.

If that crazed [Avenger Type II] had been allowed to sway in front of the camera for another half minute, or had fired a Hellfire missile to liven things up for everyone...

then his underground empire, which had just been established, would have to face a joint strangulation by UN peacekeeping forces tomorrow morning.

"The Red Queen's reaction speed this time is barely acceptable."

Chen Yuan took a silk handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his palms.

He turned his head to look at the blonde female secretary who had been standing quietly in the shadows, his tightly locked brows relaxing slightly, his tone carrying a hint of appreciation.

"Well done, Alice."

"Although this physical blocking method of directly cutting off the entire Elysium Manor local area network is a bit crude, it is indeed the best solution to prevent leaks."

However.

Faced with Chen Yuan's praise, Alice did not bow slightly as she usually did.

She stood stiffly in place.

Deep within those ice-blue electronic eyes, a dazzling red light was currently flickering frantically at an extremely dangerous frequency!

Her pupils were contracting and dilating violently.

As if she were enduring some kind of terrifying data shock.

"Boss..."

Alice slowly raised her head.

On that perfect face, which was usually so cold and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, a hint of extremely grave shock appeared for the first time.

Her voice was no longer that calm, electronically synthesized sound, but carried a slight hoarseness from intense calculation.

"I am not the one who cut the signal."

"The Red Queen's underlying firewall just suffered a high-frequency electromagnetic silence strike."

Chen Yuan's hand-wiping motion suddenly froze.

The hint of relaxation on his face instantly vanished without a trace, replaced by an extreme chill as if falling into an ice cave.

"What did you say?"

Chen Yuan's eyes were instantly as sharp as knives.

"It wasn't us? Then who was it?"

"It was The Pentagon."

Alice pulled her hands sharply in the void.

Accompanied by a faint humming sound, a huge holographic projection suddenly unfolded in the center of the dim second-level underground warehouse.

The deep blue light instantly illuminated Chen Yuan's face, which was gloomy to the extreme.

"Just fifteen seconds ago."

"The US military directly utilized military communication satellites with the highest authority level."

"They forcibly took over all near-Earth orbit relay stations within a 600-kilometer range above Elysium Manor and released directional electromagnetic shielding waves."

"Now all civilian network frequency bands in the eastern suburbs of San Verde have been completely blocked into an information black hole."

Following Alice's report.

The image on the holographic projection began to zoom in rapidly.

It was a real-time projection map of global orbital surveillance data that made one's scalp tingle.

Against the background of the vast, pitch-black near-Earth orbit.

The satellites of various countries, which were originally operating at a constant speed along their established orbits, were now completely in a frenzy, as if a hornet's nest had been poked!

"Boss, look here."

Alice's slender finger pointed to the sky above the North American continent on the Earth projection.

"It's not just The Pentagon's 'Keyhole' reconnaissance satellites."

"The Russian KGB's 'Kosmos' series military satellites, the British MI6's 'Skynet' system, and even the Israeli Mossad's low-orbit optical spy satellites..."

"More than seventeen strategic-level eyes belonging to different national-level intelligence agencies around the world."

"Are forcibly changing orbits at the cost of consuming extremely precious fuel!"

On the holographic screen.

Seventeen glaring blood-red light spots dragged long virtual trails behind them.

They drew a dozen desperate arcs in Earth's outer space orbit in a posture that was chillingly neat.

Finally.

These seventeen high-resolution optical lenses, representing the pinnacle of human technology at the current stage and capable of seeing the leg of an ant on the ground.

Were fixed, precisely and accurately, on the same geographical coordinate.

29° North Latitude, 100° West Longitude.

Texas, San Verde, Elysium Manor!

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Chen Nuo stared blankly at the dense red locking light spots on the holographic projection.

Although she didn't understand those complex military codes, she could understand that the coordinate surrounded by countless red dots was exactly where they were standing now.

"Brother..."

Chen Nuo's legs went weak with fear, and she knelt directly on the cold alloy floor.

Her voice was trembling so much that it was almost shattering.

"Are... are we going to die?"

Being stared at simultaneously by the seventeen most powerful intelligence agencies in the world.

This was not some commercial competition at all.

This was the highest level of strategic deterrence, preparing to launch World War III!

Chen Yuan did not answer his sister's sobbing.

He casually threw that expensive silk handkerchief on the ground.

He slowly turned around and looked up.

Those deep, pitch-black eyes looked through the concrete ceiling smashed by the mecha, toward the sky outside that appeared clear and cloudless, but was actually completely sealed off by a dragnet.

No fear.

No panic.

Deep within those eyes, reflecting the endless blue sky.

There was only a trace of tyranny and madness that had been completely ignited, enough to incinerate everything.

He had been lying low for so long.

Playing the fool for so long.

Now, this last fig leaf had finally been torn away completely.

"Seventeen military satellites?"

A very low, chilling chuckle came from Chen Yuan's throat.

He unhurriedly unbuttoned his white lab coat.

He casually ripped off the gold-rimmed glasses he used to feign gentleness and threw them on the ground.

"Using such a big formation to peek into my backyard."

"It seems that the real guests can finally no longer sit still."
