An Zhe wasn’t hurt because Lu Feng’s arm protected him. He opened his eyes and found himself back in the corridor. Lu Feng pulled him up.

An Zhe’s head buzzed as the glanced at the bridge before freezing.

The aurora was dissipating—all the aurora. After the brief explosion just now, the aurora was like the tide escaping from the night sky. The colour faded in just 10 seconds and then disappeared completely. A brilliant galaxy crossed the blue-purple night sky.

He had never seen such a scene before. Then An Zhe’s eyes moved down and the lights of the entire human city flickered, reflecting the galaxy. The corridor lights went out madly and chaos came from the laboratories as several researchers ran out.

Lu Feng dragged An Zhe back to a place where the outside couldn’t be seen. He faced a researcher who hurried out and asked in a deep voice, “—What about the magnetic field?”

CHAPTER 43

“The emergency power is turned on.”

“Emergency internal communication channels are turned one.”

“Emergency defense system is turned on.”

“Ventilation system is on.”

“Radiation defense window has been lowered.”

“All departments, please be on standby.”

In the corridor, there were clumsy footsteps and shouts. The radio was turned on but it was a human female voice instead of a mechanical voice.

Then dull noises were heard in all directions. An Zhe looked toward the corridor and saw a steel curtain suddenly fall, blocked all the windows. It looked very thick and An Zhe remembered Poet’s words. Once the magnetic field disappeared, the cosmic rays and solar wind would immediately hit the surface of the earth.

Thus, he knew that Lu Feng had pulled him into the corridor, leaving the space where the cosmic radiation might reach. The buildings in the main city were the peak of human science and technology. The thickness of the walls and the special materials prevented a radiation attack. Once the lights in the United Front Centre went out madly, they steadily turned on again. It was just that this time, they were much weaker than before.

In a nearby lab, the sound of a researcher called someone on the communicator was heard. He was too anxious, making his voice loud enough to be heard from the corridor.

“D1342 is requesting increased power supply! The instruments can’t stop!”

A voice was heard from another laboratory. “Requesting emergency power in D1343, otherwise precious samples will soon be inactivated.”

Who would answer their request? An Zhe didn’t know. He glanced in the direction of D1344 and subconsciously grabbed Lu Feng’s sleeve.

Lu Feng looked down at him. “It’ll be okay.”

An Zhe nodded.

The broadcasts continued. “Personnel of the equipment centre, the city defense station, the emergency response department and the logistics supply department of the United Front, you are invited to the 17th floor’s meeting room. Please don’t take the elevator and use the emergency stairs.
