"Little Fu Hong, you have to hang in there!" Yun Miao couldn’t understand the codes that popped up, but he could comprehend the progress bar at 99%.
One look at Fu Hong’s complexion was enough to tell that the progress bar wasn’t his; it must be the enemy’s.
This thought alone was enough to send a wave of panic through him.
"It’s over, it’s all over! 99.9% now!" Yun Miao clutched Tang Yichen’s arm tightly, struggling to keep his voice down.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen and Fu Xiyan grew anxious as well.
The group stared intently at the computer screen, as if their gazes could burn a hole through it.
Suddenly, the page on the screen changed.
Upon seeing this, Fu Hong’s expression shifted drastically. He pressed harder on the keyboard, pounding a few keys, only to discover he couldn’t control the computer anymore.
"Damn!" Finally, he cursed softly and slammed his hand on the keyboard, still unable to regain control of the computer.
He then punched the desk twice in frustration and grabbed a handful of his hair, appearing a bit defeated and somewhat mad.
"Little Fu Hong, is this... does this mean we’ve lost?" Yun Miao looked at Fu Hong and cautiously broached the subject.
"Yes, I’m sorry, I... I’ve failed." Fu Hong’s voice was hoarse and choked.
He curled up into a ball, burying his head in his hands, not daring to look at the computer screen again.
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyan’s expression wasn’t great, but he didn’t speak any words of blame. "Ah Yun has gone to contact Yun Yi, hopefully, she’ll make it in time."
"Who knows whether Yun Yi is in the Ancient Martial Arts World or in the capital. If she’s in the Ancient Martial Arts World, she probably won’t make it in time," Tang Yichen said with a furrowed brow, his mind filled with turmoil and irritability.
Fu Xiyan remained silent upon hearing this.
Now, all their hopes were pinned on Yun Yi.
"Huh?" Still watching the computer screen, Yun Miao suddenly exclaimed, "I may not understand this, but this screen doesn’t seem like the enemy has successfully invaded."
At these words, Fu Hong jerked his head up, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at the screen.
His vision blurred by tears, Fu Hong wiped his face fiercely; then he turned back to the screen, "How... how could this happen?"
He stared shakily at the screen, then leaned in close, muttering to himself, "How could this be?"
"Come on, what exactly happened, stop mumbling to yourself." Tang Yichen was frantically impatient, wishing he could understand those codes, but he couldn’t.
"Someone, someone intervened, blocking Angel’s invasion," Fu Hong said in disbelief, fixating on the computer screen.
"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Yun Miao immediately brightened up, "Someone intervened, but who?"
In the Ever Winning Army, the most skilled hacker was supposedly Fu Hong, right?
Could it be, there was a new ace in the pack?
"It’s Jiu! It really is Jiu!" Fu Hong said, his eyes ablaze as he continued to stare at the computer screen, "It really is them!"
As he spoke, Fu Hong began to laugh while still crying, appearing somewhat unhinged.
"Jiu?" Tang Yichen and Yun Miao echoed in unison.
Why would Jiu suddenly intervene?
"Are you sure the one who intervened is Jiu? Are you sure they are blocking Angel’s invasion?" Tang Yichen looked incredulously at Fu Hong.
Hadn’t Jiu already joined the hackers on the other side?
Why would they suddenly help the Ever Winning Army? Or did they have an ulterior motive?
Tang Yichen thought of this, and so did Fu Xiyan.
However, Fu Xiyan thought further than Tang Yichen.
If Jiu belonged to the other network, even if they had an ulterior motive, it couldn’t be worse than Angel’s would be.
With this thought, Fu Xiyan was not so worried anymore.
