[I apologize for the delay. During my aerial patrol mission, I encountered strong electromagnetic and gamma ray interference near the g05 orbital base station, resulting in a system reboot and an attack by a mysterious creature, causing my task to be completed 14 hours and 51 minutes later than expected.]

"Gamma rays?" Upon hearing this, KIKI was the first to express surprise: "Where are they coming from?"

[Source is still unknown.]

Lin Xian’s expression grew solemn upon hearing this. He immediately realized the implications of last night’s gamma ray incident, not thinking that Grace wasn’t the only one affected, but Viola too.

He glanced at Viola’s body, which indeed showed signs of battle, though there wasn’t any damage. He immediately asked, "How is the aerial patrol situation?"

Viola reported calmly with her hands behind her back

[Starting from the G3 base station east of Sea Rock Island, the orbital segments G4-G6, G7-G10, G13, G15, etc., all showed varying degrees of damage, mainly concentrated at the base station. From G16 onwards, the orbit returned to normal. My patrol only reached G18, and further investigation is needed for subsequent conditions.]

"Is this... the Quantum Brain robot?" Seeing Viola’s report, Vanessa stepped out from the crowd, full of surprise.

"Yes."

Upon hearing the conversation, Ryan also remarked, "I’ve mentioned earlier that those base stations are either survivor sanctuaries or armed strongholds of the Holy City. The conflict between the Holy City and other survivors hasn’t stopped, perhaps due to the conflict or the attack by the Abnormal Body, the orbit will be affected regardless. Your choice to travel by train isn’t exactly a wise decision."

"We’re not worried about that right now." Lin Xian took a deep breath and looked at Viola, feeling a stir in his heart.

"You returned just in time; there’s a... rather dangerous task that needs you to go."

[Please instruct.]Viola responded to Lin Xian without hesitation.

Lin Xian immediately transferred the drone control to Viola: "Use these coordinates to dive underwater and open the energy release outlet."

[Viola understands.]

Upon saying this, Viola deployed a precise action path within milliseconds. Thousands of drones were mobilized instantly, and she leaped onto a deep diving device, quickly rushing into the deep sea.

Viola’s body can flexibly maneuver at several thousand meters underwater, and the high energy weapons equipped are powerful enough to break through the monster’s corpse to find and open the energy release outlet beneath it. Although those monsters might initiate attacks, Lin Xian doesn’t need Viola to confront them; as long as the Dark Mark doesn’t appear, things become much simpler.

Whirr!

In the black waters, Viola’s form moved like a sword continuously downward, soon encountering the vortex monster’s enormous corpse at the energy release outlet.

Rumble!

At this moment, a sudden earthquake shook the ground, and everyone on shore felt the ground shaking, with the sea surface churning as murky bubbles filled it instantly.

"An earthquake?"

"The Galan Volcano’s activity!"

"This isn’t good."

Ryan looked towards Lin Xian: "Lin, there might already have been a minor eruption."

Lin Xian’s expression turned serious: "Then we must accelerate our pace."

[Warning, Viola has detected seabed and volcanic seismic belt extension; the magnitude has reached level three.]

[Spread has reached the fracture zone distance from Chasan Island, and analysis shows that Galan Volcano is becoming increasingly active.]

"Keep going forward; once you’ve opened the mechanical gate, return immediately." Lin Xian commanded.

[Understood.]

Viola reached the energy release outlet, and facing the gigantic Abnormal Body corpse, her arm transformed into a plasma cutter, accurately slicing while advancing at high speed, then blasting through the opening and drilling straight down.

[Energy release gate discovered, pipeline negative pressure being activated, energy outlet covered by target corpse, this may cause localized thermal overload, should clearing be conducted?]

At this point, Viola’s voice transmitted.

Lin Xian gazed at the giant vortex monster resembling an island, his eyes flickering, and suddenly spoke

"No need, just stay in place. I actually want to conduct a little experiment..."
