Chapter 196

For three whole days, the main system of the Red Queen Base cut off all communication with the outside world. It caused a massive uproar at the time—the Red Sea war almost broke out because of it. No one knew why the Red Queen Base had cut off communications, nor did anyone know what had happened inside. Perhaps today's situation is similar? Everyone fell silent. Although the main system of the Red Queen Base almost never malfunctioned and operated strictly according to preset protocols—namely, ensuring the existence and safety of the base, repairing its facilities and integrity, maintaining its smooth operation, and fulfilling human authority requests to the greatest extent possible—this "almost" was not absolute. On very rare occasions when the outside world had no idea what was happening, rare exceptions would occur. By far the largest exception had happened more than a dozen years ago when the Red Queen Base severed its communications with the outside world. And today, with a large number of people falling into an unexplained sleep, a similar situation might have occurred once again. "But we can't just keep waiting like this, can we?" The female civil servant slapped the table and asked once more.
