Chapter Fifty-Two: The Ultimate Code

Upon boarding the spaceship and transmitting the information to the negotiation team located in China, Wang Jing then contacted Ada Wang.

At that moment, Ada Wang was at the Moxley Conference Center in Orlando, Florida, attending a press conference with the President.

Receiving Wang Jing’s message, she immediately got up and went to the President’s lounge. She gently knocked on the door, and only after hearing the President inside say “come in,” did Ada Wang push the door open and enter.

“Who are you?” the President asked, looking at Ada Wang with confusion.

Agent Sarah, standing nearby, spoke up to introduce her, “She’s Ada Wang, the new agent joining us today.”

“Oh, is there something you need, Ada Wang?” the President asked kindly.

Ada Wang took a phone from her pocket and handed it to the President. “I just received a message uploaded by Dutch Boy. The situation is very dire.” As she spoke, Ada Wang opened the video communication on the phone, showing Jack Rosen, Ute, and others.

“Mr. President, the situation is critical. Dutch Boy has been taken over by a virus; we’ve lost control. We need your ultimate password to temporarily shut it down and switch it to fail-safe mode.”

“Wait, did you say Dutch Boy has been infected by a virus?” the President asked in disbelief.

“To be precise, it’s been implanted with a virus. All our satellites are out of our control. Someone is using Dutch Boy as a weapon. Extreme weather is occurring in many cities worldwide. If we don’t stop this immediately, it could trigger global geological disasters, leading to hundreds of millions of deaths.”

“And then America will completely dominate the world.” At that moment, the door was flung open, and the Vice President, accompanied by dozens of agents, burst in.

Agent Sasha and several others tried to draw their guns but were shot down, collapsing in pools of blood.

“No, Sasha!” The President shouted in anguish, seeing his personal bodyguards slain before him.

“Mr. President, please calm down. This is for the sake of America. Imagine countries ravaged by extreme weather, like succulent morsels, ready for us to consume. The United States will become great once more,” the Vice President said, smiling, calm and unhurried.

“No, you’re turning America into the world’s greatest villain,” the President replied furiously.

The Vice President walked over to Ada Wang, who had her hands raised, and said with curiosity, “You must be new. I’ve never seen you before.”

“I just started today,” Ada Wang replied nervously.

The Vice President shook his head. “Then you’re really not cut out for this job.” He picked up the phone from the table.

“So it was you behind all this!” Jack Rosen’s angry voice came from the phone.

“Haha, I didn’t expect you to catch on so quickly, forcing me to act ahead of schedule. But it doesn’t matter anymore. You and Dutch Boy will soon be nothing but space debris!” With that, he switched off the phone and handed it to an agent.

Only then did the Vice President turn to the President, taking a pistol from an agent and pointing it at the President’s head. “History is written by the victors. No one will know what happened. People will only remember Leonard Decombe as the greatest President in American history.”

Just as Vice President Leonard was about to pull the trigger, Ada Wang interjected inappropriately, “Has anyone ever told you you’re extremely narcissistic?”

Annoyed by the interruption, the Vice President swung the gun towards Ada Wang. “I hate people who ruin my moment.”

“My apologies, then,” Ada Wang replied with a smile.

As the Vice President frowned, the side wall suddenly burst open. Before anyone could react, Jazz, transformed into humanoid form, shot and blew apart Vice President Leonard’s head, then shielded himself from the agents’ gunfire.

Ada Wang rushed to the President, whose forehead was bleeding from a blow by falling debris, and helped him up. “Mr. President, we need to get out of here, fast!”

The President, regaining his composure, stared in astonishment at Jazz, who had just crushed an agent with his arm. “What in the world is that?”

“I’ll explain later!” Ada Wang replied, jumping out through the hole Jazz had created.

Amid the President’s screams, Ada Wang fired her grappling gun hidden in her thigh.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Jazz leapt down through the broken wall, transformed into a sports car, and opened the door.

Ada Wang helped the President into the car and sped towards the outskirts of the city. Lightning had already begun flashing across the sky.

“Who are you, really?” the President, seated in the passenger seat, asked Ada Wang with suspicion.

Ada Wang removed the holographic projection device from her neck and, seeing the President’s incredulous expression, said, “I now serve the United Government.”

“But that’s not important. What matters is uploading the ultimate password immediately,” Ada Wang said. As she finished speaking, a thick bolt of lightning struck a car ahead. Then a barrage of lightning rained down, striking high-rises, vehicles, and pedestrians alike. Explosions rang out continuously, and buildings shattered and collapsed under the relentless lightning.

Ada Wang quickly escaped the danger zone, slammed the brakes, and took another phone from her pocket, handing it to the President. “Hurry! Every second could save thousands of lives.”

The President took the phone and dialed a number. Soon, several helicopters and police cars arrived.

He didn’t trouble Ada Wang further. After thanking her, he boarded a helicopter.

Inside the Dutch Boy space station, as soon as the satellite self-destruct alarm sounded, all personnel began evacuation, boarding shuttles back to Earth, leaving only Wang Jing, Jack Rosen, and Ute inside.

“It’s done! The ultimate password is uploaded. Quick, shut down Dutch Boy!” Wang Jing shouted as soon as the data transfer was complete.

Jack Rosen took the computer pen, speaking as if giving his last words, “The procedure must be completed manually. You two go ahead, I’ll follow soon.”

“Don’t be foolish. We leave together!” Wang Jing broke the tension, and Ute nodded in agreement.

Recalling Wang Jing’s ability to cross worlds, Jack Rosen nodded his consent.

The three donned spacesuits and entered the main control computer chamber. They touched the computer pen containing the ultimate password to the screen. The system prompt sounded: “System shutting down.”

Jack Rosen went to the circuit breaker and said to Ute, “Let me know when the last satellite shuts down.”

There were less than thirty seconds before the geological storm would be triggered.

“Half are shut down!” Ute said, staring at the screen.

“Five more to go!”

The system prompt sounded: “Self-destruct program entering stage four!”

“Two left!”

“One left!”

The screen turned white, and Jack Rosen forcefully pulled the switch down.

In the next moment, all satellites ceased operation, and the countdown for the geological storm froze at ten seconds.

As the three smiled in relief, a violent explosion tore through the control computer’s wall. Fortunately, they wore spacesuits and didn’t instantly become frozen corpses in space.

Wang Jing immediately grabbed Jack Rosen and Ute’s hands, and after a brief charge-up, activated their escape.
