He must ensure data security.

This was also the most bizarre aspect for him.

Under normal circumstances, the database of the Arctic Monitoring Station is connected in real-time with encrypted links to the Earth Alliance headquarters.

As long as the biological key is activated, the data signal can bypass conventional network protocols through the buried relays beneath the ice, passing through the invisible channels formed by the Moon Eclipse Clan using the Earth's magnetic field, directly reaching the Equatorial Space Station to be transmitted to both the Moon Eclipse Clan and various factions of the Earth Alliance.

This emergency handling system was supposed to ignore any regular interference.

Even an electromagnetic pulse caused by a nuclear explosion or the particle storm from a solar flare could not block this transmission.

But now, it cannot be activated.

Even the biological key couldn't pass through, displaying a "verification failed" prompt, as if the password had suddenly been changed.

His body astonishingly couldn't be used as a key to open the emergency mode.

This might be some unknown interference brought about by the arrival of the Black Tide.

He glanced at the black mist approaching from the distance.

Taking advantage that the Black Tide Demonic Spirits hadn't yet closed in, he had about ten seconds.

Decided to try again, maybe the network has been restored now.

He quickly went to the still perfectly operating console, on which a red warning light was flashing.

His fingers flew across the keyboard, trying to bypass the system lock and directly access the backup transmission protocol.

But the popped-up prompt showed: activation failed.

The database's firewall was as if completely frozen by some external force, every command bounced back, and he had never seen the scrolling error codes on the screen.

Unwilling to give up, he pressed his left palm onto the biometric scanner again.

Skin made contact with the cold metal, the micro-current of the biometric key scanned from fingertips to wrist.

[Biometric key regeneration authentication...failed]

"Damn it!"

The biometric key of the Moon Eclipse Clan is bound by genes and would not become invalid unless he dies.

This was precisely his purpose of existence, to act as the last safety guarantee activated in emergencies.

But now, the system seemed to deny his very existence, completely rejecting his privileges.

Even more bizarre, the physical isolation protocol of the database was also triggered. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But the database wasn't connected to the Earth Alliance, maybe the Black Tide could block signal network transmissions, but how could it directly alter the underlying logical information in the database.

He suddenly stood up and yanked open the metal cover on the side of the console.

The circuit board was intact, but the indicator lights of the main chip were all off, seemingly forced into dormancy by some command.

His finger pressed on the reset button, three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds... the control panel remained unresponsive.

It was like having the most advanced biometric lock installed on the home's burglar-proof door, theoretically, only his fingerprint, along with the Earth Alliance's security center, had the authorization to open it.

Burglars could come, using picking or destruction methods to break in, even opening it by replacing the lock.

But this time, unlocking revealed that the lock showed "internally locked".

The problem was, there was no one home at all.

This part of the authorization was definitely not internally locked by the Earth Alliance, the issue obviously originated externally.

But he could not find a reasonable logic to solve it.

He wanted to continue testing, but the sinister wind had already arrived, the Evil Tide was closing in.

He had no time to continue testing.

"Kill!"

He turned and roared in anger, cheering himself on.

Just like during his time at the Ah Le Training Camp, he charged decisively toward the Black Tide Demonic Spirits.

The cold wind howled, black mist churned.

Yu Chuan's silhouette tore a crimson-gold trajectory among the Evil Spirits, Gang Qi erupted like a volcano, every step left scorched black footprints on the ground under high temperature.

Three rotten wolf Evil Spirits leaped from the left, right, and center, their fangs dripping with corrosive mucus.

He spun around, the long sword of Gang Qi re-condensed in his hand, cutting a semicircle, the red blade light bloomed like a new moon.

Whoosh!

The rotting wolf's body disintegrated in mid-air, the black blood evaporated before it hit the ground.

At this moment, a humanoid Evil Spirit roared while gathering fog claws from beneath the black mist, Yu Chuan lifted his foot, his battle boots wrapped with Gang Qi stomped down fiercely.

Crack!

The Evil Spirit's head burst like a watermelon, its headless body staggered two steps, then was sent flying by a whip kick, colliding with three other Evil Spirits.

The Black Tide Demonic Spirits surged like a tide, he gritted his teeth and roared:

"Come on."

The blade gleamed like a dragon, each strike sent black mist swirling, the decayed flesh and black blood burned amidst the Gang Qi eruptions, filling the air with an indescribable peculiar odor.

Yu Chuan, who had gone all out, fought desperately.

He continuously opened his mouth to absorb large breaths.

The consumption speed of Gang Qi on Qi-Blood was too intense, he realized his Qi-Blood wouldn't last long, he had to absorb external energy through Energy Absorption.

Unlike in Monster World, where every breath could bring ample Qi-Blood energy supplementation.

The breathing in the real world couldn't absorb much energy.

He tried to open the Space Bag, wanting to take out a few bottles of Potion stored inside to replenish his physical strength and Qi-Blood.

But the next second, a prompt flashed in his mind:

[Challenger Tips: Space Bag permissions not open, activation failed.]

"Damn it!"

But the number of Black Tide Demonic Spirits showed no sign of decreasing.

Swoosh!

As the blade flashed, an Evil Spirit resembling a rotten giant wolf was cut in half, black blood spilled on the snow, making a sizzling corrosive sound.

But in the next second, the severed body wriggled in the black mist, rejoining itself.

"Damn it, endless!"

Yu Chuan spat a mouthful of bloody foam and slashed open a bone spike attacking from the side.
