Chapter 73 Spiritual Transformation, Program Reboot
Chapter 73 Spiritual Transformation, Program Reboot
With Max's arrest, the Secretary of Defense was in a very good mood.
In her eyes, now that they had been arrested, the matter was settled, and her plan could proceed smoothly.
Max gradually regained consciousness and, in his blurry vision, saw a circular light in front of him.
"Should we get rid of this thing first?"
"No, we need to get the data first; it's connected to his nervous system."
"Is the data intact?"
As the technicians proceeded, they gave an uncertain answer: "At present, yes."
At this moment, a warning also came from the terminal.
"We can extract the data, but he'll die."
"It doesn't matter. How long will it take you to download the data and restore the system to normal?"
"It won't be long, madam."
"All data is stored in a confidential database, and all access is prohibited."
As he spoke, the minister walked to the door and ordered the soldiers to take Fu and her daughter away.
Max was injected with a sedative and his body was restrained, so he couldn't move at all. He could only see Frey and her daughter beside him.
Just as he was looking at the mother and daughter, a soldier came in and took Frey and her daughter away.
Upon seeing Frey and her daughter being taken away, and hearing that he would die after the data extraction, Max unleashed tremendous power within him, breaking free from the tranquilizer and instantly leaping into action.
Max was still wearing his exoskeleton armor at this time, and the two technicians around him were no match for him. They were taken down by Max in no time.
Meanwhile, Agent Kruger was also brought to the medical pod by his two men to check on the situation.
"Oh, that's great, his head is fine, but I'm sure he'll be furious when he wakes up."
As the medical pod was activated, Kruger's horribly damaged face was quickly repaired.
At this moment, the minister also arrived. Looking at Kruger, who was shirtless, her first words were not praise, but reprimand.
"Kruger, you almost botched the mission this time."
"Minister, there are always unexpected things that can happen on a mission."
"But this is not an excuse."
At this moment, listening to the incessant chatter of the Defense Minister, Kruger's recently recovered mind was also somewhat irritated.
Then he thought of the program in Max's head that restarted Elysium, and a new idea came to his mind.
"Splash!"
He smashed the mirror with a single punch, picked up a piece of glass, and walked directly in front of the minister.
"Pfft!"
As the glass pierced his carotid artery, the minister collapsed in disbelief.
"You two, going around causing chaos elsewhere, those guys' words are all bullshit. Now we have a chance to be the masters here. Do you want to come and play in my house?"
"Boss, that's a really good idea."
After learning what their boss was planning to do, the two were very excited.
These agents, who often walked on the edge of life and death, had long been somewhat twisted in their minds. Now, thinking that they had the opportunity to dominate Elysium, their minds became excited.
Soon, one of his men arrived at the command center of Elysium and threw in a grenade. The next moment...
"boom!"
The massive explosion killed most of the people inside.
The system alarm went off, and all the staff were terrified by the explosion and began an emergency evacuation.
Meanwhile, his men weren't idle either. They found a place where security was concentrated and threw a grenade, taking down a large number of people.
The two then continued to cause chaos elsewhere, while Kruger went to the data extraction center in an attempt to find Max.
Meanwhile, Max, after finding out where Frey and her daughter had been taken, immediately set off for the armory.
At this moment, he also walked to the destroyed control center and saw Damon on the monitor screen.
"Damon, can you hear me?"
"Max, where are you?"
"Could the contents of my head make everyone a citizen of Elysium?"
Damon was taken aback by Max's words, but quickly understood what Max meant.
"right!"
"You know how to use it, right?"
"right."
Are you sure?
"I'm sure."
"Okay, I have a plan."
After hearing Max's plan, Damon agreed.
Max found the elevator and headed to the armory.
Meanwhile, inside the armory, Kruger, with the help of his subordinate Kro, successfully installed an even more powerful exoskeleton.
"Crow, you take care of these two. Where are you, you little bitch? I'm coming to find you."
With that, Kruger took his longsword and walked out of the room.
Watching Kruger leave, Crowe decided to enjoy himself first, so he opened the hatch and prepared to assault Frey.
But at that moment, Max appeared behind Crowe.
"Whoosh!"
With a forceful effort, Max flung Crowe away.
"Frei, are you all alright?"
"We're fine, it's just that my daughter is still in a coma."
"Don't worry, I have a plan now, and she will be able to receive treatment soon."
Seeing that Crowe was still trying to get up, Max went straight up and killed him.
After obtaining weapons from the armory, Damon's men soon arrived.
Once both sides have joined forces, the next issue to resolve is Kruger.
However, after being modified, Kruger now surpassed everyone in both defense and physical strength.
With the shield deployed, Max's attack did absolutely no damage to Kruger.
Seeing this, Max and Damon immediately prepared to retreat.
Damon sent one of his men to take Frey and her daughter to the medical bay, while he and the others stayed behind to hold off Kruger.
However, none of the three were a match for Kruger at this point, and they could only keep him occupied.
Ultimately, Damon and Max were stopped by Kruger in another corridor.
After a hard-fought battle, Max gained the upper hand by disabling the controls of Kruger's exoskeleton.
At this moment, seeing Kruger lying on the ground, Max was also very angry and started attacking his head repeatedly.
"Max, hurry, time is running out."
At this moment, Damon, who had recovered, pulled Max aside and told him that time was running out.
Although chaos has broken out in Elysium after the recent attack.
However, the machine guards realized that support would arrive soon and they needed to get to the data center as quickly as possible to restart the program.
Soon, the two of them, supporting each other, found the data center. After Damon connected all the data cables, he quickly read the data in Max's brain.
However, Damon was stunned when he saw that Max would also die after the download.
"Oh, fuck, Max."
"Damon, I know, it's okay."
Although Max said that, Damon didn't dare to make a move at that moment.
Seeing that there was still no action, Max asked Damon to hand over the controller to him.
"Max, you can restart the program by pressing this."
Looking at the confirmation option on the controller, Max also contacted Frey to say a final goodbye.
"Frei".
"Max, how are you?"
"Frei, I may have to break my promise. I won't be able to go to your place. I still remember my childhood dream of taking everyone to Elysium. Now, I think I've fulfilled that dream."
"Max, no!"
Just as Frey seemed to sense something was about to happen, Max was also about to press confirm.
However, at that moment, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and the controller in Max's hand was shattered. Max's arm was also fractured by the powerful impact.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Max and Damon were also unaware of what was going on. They turned around and saw a miraculous scene.
A ripple appeared in the air, and the next moment, several people wearing fully enclosed exoskeleton armor appeared there.
"Max, to be honest, you've really grown up now. Damon, you're not bad either. Leave this to us."
As he spoke, a team member pushed Damon aside, plugged in a hard drive, and the Elysium program began to restart.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The lights went out, but only for a short time before they came back on, indicating that the program had restarted successfully.
"Who are you people?"
"Oh, let me introduce myself. I am Wang Yunfeng, the captain of the advance team of Star Group. Max, we have seen all your actions. It is great that you are willing to sacrifice yourself for all mankind. However, the lives of other Earthlings are lives, and your life is also a life. It would be a pity to sacrifice yourself here like this. So our boss sent us here to take over Elysium."
"Frei, no, if you do this, Frei's daughter will never recover."
"Don't worry about that. Although the new program doesn't rescue all humans, Frey and her daughter meet the requirements."
Max felt relieved after hearing Wang Yunfeng's words.
However, as soon as he relaxed, various aches and pains came over him, and Max collapsed in agony.
"Go up and give him an injection to stabilize his vital signs. Also, the medical team should move in immediately to treat Max. This guy is quite talented; it's a shame he's gone just like that."
"Yes, Captain."
As a team member stepped forward, took out a vial of medicine, and injected it directly into Max's body, his body, which was on the verge of collapse, immediately stabilized.
At this moment, the president also rushed over with the guard robots. As soon as he entered, he immediately ordered the guard robots to arrest everyone present.
However, the robot guard did not listen to his opinion at this moment, but instead said something directly.
"We cannot attack citizens of Elysium."
Upon hearing this answer, the president was also taken aback and issued a new order.
"I order you to carry out the mission."
"I'm sorry, you don't have the highest authority here and have no right to order us around."
