Overclocked City

The electronic eye of the mechanical arm flickered with a ghostly blue light, resembling an experienced hacker who had found a breakthrough, beginning to wreak havoc within the security system of the electronic door.

The slender, agile "fingers" of the mechanical arm danced rapidly across the keyboard, a cascade of complex code pouring down the screen like a waterfall, instantly filling the entire display.

The stream of 0s and 1s surged like a torrential storm, flooding the server room as if it aimed to consume everything in its path.

Chen Mo stared intently at the screen, afraid to miss any detail. His brain raced, analyzing the data transmitted by the mechanical arm, always ready to respond to any sudden changes.

Time ticked away, and the atmosphere in the server room grew increasingly tense, as if the air itself was about to solidify.

Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed across the screen, followed by a piercing alarm that echoed throughout the building!

"Not good, the highest level of the defense system has been triggered!" Chen Mo's heart sank; he knew he had little time left.

The electronic eye of the mechanical arm flickered a few times before it spoke:

"Master, I have successfully breached the outer defense system, but the core system has a self-destruct program. If I force a breach, the entire server room will explode!"

"What?!" Chen Mo was taken aback. He hadn't expected Wang Pangzi to be so ruthless, willing to go to any lengths to protect his secrets!

"What do we do now?"

The mechanical arm fell silent for a moment before it spoke in a cold tone:

"There is only one way. I can attempt to infiltrate the core system and modify the self-destruct program, but this will take some time, and the success rate is only fifty percent."

"Fifty percent…" Chen Mo took a deep breath, knowing he had no other choice.

"Let's begin!" He inhaled deeply, realizing there was no turning back now.

The electronic eye of the mechanical arm flickered again, as if responding to Chen Mo's command, and it began its actions once more.

This time, its movements were even faster and more precise, like a skilled pianist playing a thrilling symphony on the keyboard.

The cascade of code surged more violently and densely, nearly overwhelming the entire screen.

Chen Mo kept his eyes glued to the display, refusing to relax for even a moment. He had to stay alert to the mechanical arm's actions and the changes in system data, ready to react to any unexpected situations.

Time passed, and the tension in the server room escalated, as if the air was thickening.

Suddenly, a glaring red light flashed on the screen, followed by another piercing alarm that resonated throughout the building!

"Not good! The self-destruct program has been activated!" the mechanical arm exclaimed, its tone filled with urgency.

"What?!" Chen Mo's heart sank again; he knew their time was running out.

"Master, what should we do now?" The mechanical arm's voice carried a hint of panic, clearly not expecting this situation.

"Stay calm!" Chen Mo forced himself to think clearly, his mind racing to find a solution.

"Tell me, how long until the explosion after the self-destruct program is activated?"

"Three minutes…" the mechanical arm's voice trembled slightly.

"Three minutes…" Chen Mo murmured, "That's enough!"

He took a deep breath, his hands moving like shadows across the keyboard, lines of code shooting out like lightning, striking at the heart of the problem!

"Mechanical arm, cooperate with me fully!"

"Understood, Master!"

In this life-and-death moment, the two of them unleashed unprecedented power, racing against time and battling death!

In the server room, the ocean of code surged like a storm, as if a war without gunpowder was raging fiercely.

Chen Mo and the intelligent mechanical arm fought side by side, like two seasoned warriors—one strategizing, the other charging ahead, their cooperation seamless.

Chen Mo's fingers flew over the keyboard, like a master pianist performing a breathtaking sonata.

Lines of code crashed against the defenses of the self-destruct program like magical incantations.

Meanwhile, the intelligent mechanical arm stood guard beside Chen Mo, its steel body shielding him from the system's defensive attacks.

Time ticked away, and the atmosphere in the server room grew increasingly tense, as if the air was about to solidify.

"Only one minute left!" the mechanical arm's voice quivered slightly.

Chen Mo's forehead was drenched in sweat, but he didn't have time to wipe it away. His eyes were fixed on the screen, his fingers still racing across the keyboard.

"Almost there! Just a bit more!" Chen Mo silently urged himself.

He could almost see the dawn of victory, but he also knew that the final moments were often the most perilous.

"Fifty seconds…"

"Forty seconds…"

"Thirty seconds…"

Time slipped away, and the shadow of death loomed over Chen Mo and the mechanical arm.

"Twenty seconds…"

"Ten seconds…"

"Five seconds…"

"Four seconds…"

"Three seconds…"

"Two seconds…"

"One second…"

"Zero seconds!"

At that critical moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Chen Mo's face.

"It worked!"
