157. The energy crisis has been temporarily alleviated.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Chen, waiting for his reaction.

  As time ticks away, people's hearts are also getting anxious. The three-month deadline has arrived, and the prison will start to lose energy. Various defense systems will gradually weaken until they completely fail in another three months.

  At such a critical moment, and with the backup energy already in place, shouldn't we immediately issue an order to start up the backup energy system? Why is Chen Chen not reacting at all, just standing there quietly?

  "Main power system energy insufficient!" Just as everyone was anxious, the assistant issued that ominous prompt again: "Warning, in three minutes, main energy will drop below the red alert line, and the defense system will weaken."

  "Director Chen?" Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Chen and couldn't help but remind him.

  "I'm not asleep!" Chen Chen waved his hand and slowly lifted his head: "There's a question I want to ask you guys."

  "What's the matter?" A group of people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and yet someone still had the nerve to ask questions at this juncture?

  "Power has been routed to the backup systems, and we can start up anytime, that's not the problem." Chen Chen remained as calm as ever, without a hint of worry on his face: "I'm thinking about something else."

  "What's another thing?" Everyone looked at each other in dismay, all with puzzled and bewildered expressions.

  "Main power system energy insufficient!" The assistant's prompt issued again, making people anxious: "Warning, two minutes later, the main energy will drop below the red alert line, and the defense system will weaken."

  "If the backup system is activated at this time, everything will be solved and nothing unexpected will happen." Chen Chen's face still didn't show any panic, calmly saying: "Change your thinking, suppose you are now on the second floor, main energy weakened, defense system weakened, the powerful prisoner on the third floor is about to break through the defense system and come to the second floor, how do you think?"

  "We're done for!" Several people helplessly spread their hands and replied with a sentence.

  "Main power system energy insufficient!" The warning voice became more urgent: "Warning, in one minute, the main energy will drop below the red alert line, and the defense system will weaken!"

  "But just as the three-layered prisoners were about to break through the defenses, the warden successfully activated the backup energy source." Chen Chen turned his head, a faint smile floating at the corner of his mouth: "At the critical moment when the crisis was lifted, do you feel lucky? Now I'll tell you, the crisis is not completely over yet. I still need to find more energy sources to sustain it, otherwise the three-layered prisoners will eventually break through the defenses and come to the second layer. What will you think then?"

  "We have to help you! Because helping you is helping ourselves..." The crowd subconsciously blurted out, and then immediately reacted, involuntarily widening their eyes in shock: "You deliberately delayed it, just to activate the backup energy at the last moment, creating a tense atmosphere... this way, you can make the prisoners on the fourth and fifth floors willingly help you..."

  "Yuri and Jiulong on the third floor are already helping me." Chen Chen smiled mysteriously: "So, what I'm concerned about is the fourth floor!"

  "Warning, defense system will weaken in ten seconds!" The hall began to flash a rapid red light, and the assistant's icy voice started counting down: "Nine, eight, seven, six, five..."

  "Assistant, activate backup power system, ignite combustion chamber!"

  "Understood! Activating backup power system, combustion chamber startup!"

  As the order was given, a dull rumble echoed through the power room, as if something had been activated. Then, the red light in the hall also disappeared, and everything returned to calmness.

  "The backup power system has started to supply energy, all data is stable, the crisis has been temporarily lifted!" The assistant's cold voice came again, but this time it sounded like heavenly music to everyone.

  "Alright, problem solved!" Chen Chen turned around and spread his hands to the crowd: "You can rest assured for now, the earth produces so much trash every day, I reckon it's enough for us to burn for a while."

  It wasn't until now that everyone let out a sigh of relief, looking at Chen Chen with a hint of fear in their eyes: "He's really crazy, thinking of using this to achieve his own goals under such tense circumstances, borrowing the crisis to control the prisoners. My god, you're simply born to be a prison warden."

  "No choice, dealing with you bunch of vicious guys, can't do without using some brains." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head: "Nothing's wrong, everyone go back to their posts, time to get down to business."

  With the crisis temporarily averted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed, returning to their respective posts.

  At this time, Chen Chen cast his eyes on Xiang Orange and Xue Xiang two sisters.

  After such a long period of cultivation, their strength has also increased significantly. With the injection of gene medicine directly increasing by 400, their current combat value is now over 600, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

  Chen Chen noticed that the two sisters also bowed and saluted, with expectation in their eyes: "God Master, our strength has increased a lot, can you take us to revenge now?"

  "It can be, but I'm still tracking down your enemies. Can't take action until I find them." Chen Chen smiled lightly and shook his head: "For now, you all should stay behind and continue to cultivate. Once I've found them, I'll bring you along."

  "Thank you, Master God. We will definitely cultivate well." The two sisters smiled at the same time.

  Then they also returned to the training ground under the leadership of Nikita, Natasha and Huoyun Xiangshen, while Chen Chen stepped into the laboratory.

  At this time, Yuri and Jiulong were chatting idly on the side, seeing Chen Chen come in, they immediately smiled and stood up: "Any results recently? Our spokesperson."

  "It's nothing, just sneaked an aircraft carrier in." Chen Chen casually replied: "How about the blueprint?"

  "Get ready early." Yuri casually picked up an electronic disc and handed it to Chen Chen: "If you need anything, just tell us. We're bored anyway."

  "Before preparing for the manned spacecraft, Eyeglasses Snake had already prepared a lot of materials." Chen Chen took over the electronic disk and thought for a moment before saying: "The instrument should have stored it, you guys take a look and see if we can proceed."

  "Before I was caught, I was the de facto ruler of the Soviet Union. These technologies are all too familiar to me." Upon hearing this, Yuri burst out laughing: "Alright, leave it to us. Wait for good news."

  "Then you two terrorists will have a hard time." Chen Chen also smiled faintly and left with the electronic disk.
