Unexpected Bolt

Huaxu, how is the infiltration coming along?

Huaxu

The area under my control has decreased 12.7%, and Babylonia has regained power by 6.1% compared to an hour ago. Babylonia is still in freefall.

...What changed?

Huaxu

It appears that a task force has entered Gestalt's virtual space in an attempt to resist my infiltration.

Everything is still under my control.

...Do you have any anti-interference programs?

Huaxu

Multiple disguised sub-terminals have been released. They will create massive disruptions before Babylonia's forces realize what is happening.

...That's good.

Huaxu

Your hesitation suggests a concern for my tactical capability.

Please state any alternative that can be implemented.

That's not what I meant.

Do what you must.

As usual, Huaxu does not respond. Luna enters a meditative state.

She recalls the expression on Qu's face during the battle in Kowloong, and the conversation between Qu and Huaxu from the records retrieved by Huaxu.

Huaxu, how can humanity survive under such circumstances?

Huaxu

All data has been parsed, but no such method exists.

Regardless of the method, humanity will only end in destruction.

Earth has already experienced five mass extinctions. Humanity is merely just a visitor on this age-old planet.

I've adjusted the input range and parameters to meet your requirements.

Qu

I want results.

Huaxu

Very low probability, but not impossible. Changing the scope has made certain options possible now.

We're in position.

...Understood.

Proceed with caution.

You already said that.

Then take it as another reminder.

...Fine.

Huaxu.

Huaxu

Yes?

...Forget it. It's nothing.
