Chapter Five: Eight Hundred Robots Change Commanders

“Creation Trial complete,” the Firmament Order announced. “Level Three authority, Formation, opened early. Regional limit: ten thousand nodes. Warning: neural load at eighty-seven percent.” Chenzhou bit his tongue to remain conscious. “First formation, dismantle the wall. Second, restore ventilation. Third, open a rescue lane. All remaining vehicles, surround the Zeroing controller.” Eight hundred robots changed commanders. The shelving wall came apart like blocks. Driverless vehicles formed two lines of green lights. Six carriers lifted the dead ventilation fan and turned its blades with their own motors. Workers evacuated through the corridor while the final hundred robots encircled the controller cabinet and rejected its self-destruct command.
