Reverse Attack : From Poor Boy to Tyrant CEO

The Sky Turns Blue Again

Foreshadowing of Betrayal

Anran suddenly frowned, "Junyao's stock is plunging. Someone's selling off in large quantities."

Chen Xing pulled up the transaction records, his pupils narrowing sharply, "The IP address of the selling account... it's on our server."

Su Wan's arm mycelium suddenly grew wildly, wrapping around the control panel, "Someone has tampered with the fungal gene sequence. They're... mutating."

Disaster Strikes

A muffled sound came from the reactor, and the plutonium fungus switched from purification mode to consumption mode:

72 Hours: The fungus's speed of consuming nuclear waste increased tenfold, but its metabolites turned into highly toxic gas.240 Hours: The mycelium began to erode metal, and cracks appeared in the reactor's outer shell.The Deadliest Flaw: The fungus reproduced uncontrollably and remained active after leaving the reactor."This is a trap set by Junyao," Li Feng's prosthetic eye flashed red, "They've implanted a backdoor program in the strain."

Lin Mo pulled up Su Wan's experimental records and found that her mycelium tattoo perfectly matched the DNA of the mutated fungus.

Team Division

Anran pointed her gun at Su Wan, "You're the traitor."

Su Wan tore open the sleeve of her prison uniform, revealing more of the mycelium tattoo, "I'm a live experiment. Junyao used my genes to modify the plutonium fungus."

Chen Xing's wheelchair suddenly went out of control as the hacker program was reverse-invaded, "They've installed a tracker in my mechanical keyboard!"

Escape and Sacrifice

Junyao's armed squad surrounded the nuclear power plant. Li Feng detonated an EMP bomb, paralyzing the enemy's equipment, "You go first, I'll cover you."

Lin Mo grabbed Su Wan and rushed into the escape passage, only to find the exit welded shut. Chen Xing used his last bit of battery to hack open the ventilation duct, "Crawl out, I'll hold them off."

The Price of Failure

At dawn, Lin Mo stood on the hillside outside the nuclear power plant. The reactor collapsed under the erosion of the fungus, releasing a toxic fog that blotted out the sky.

Anran pointed her gun at her temple, "This is my fault. I'll take responsibility."

Lin Mo snatched the gun and fired the last bullet into the sky, "Failure is not the end, but a new beginning."

The Spark of Rebirth

Among the ruins of the nuclear power plant, Lin Mo found a strain of uncontaminated plutonium fungus. Its mycelium sparkled in the sunlight, reminding him of the bloodstains that had spread in his father's last letter.

"We still have a chance," Su Wan's arm mycelium began to fade, "As long as we find Junyao's backdoor program, we can reverse the mutation of the fungus."

Lin Mo placed the strain in a petri dish, and the screen displayed the new purification progress:

0%: Starting from scratch.
