Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

323: Lu Chen took action and withstood the dimensional attack head-on!”Myriad Realms Slaughterhouse?”

Lu Chen chewed on this blood-soaked name, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.

”Doesn’t sound like a place that does legitimate business.”

Gao Jianjun huddled in his chair, his face as pale as paper, as if recalling some horrifying memory.

”That place... that place is the ’money pit’ of the High-Dimensional World, and also the ’crematorium’ for low-dimensional civilizations.”

”The so-called ’slaughter’ is not just about killing.”

Gao Jianjun shivered, his voice lowered to a whisper. ”They dismantle and categorize the civilizations they capture.”

”The souls of carbon-based lifeforms are used to refine ’consciousness chips’.”

”The cores of silicon-based lifeforms are used as ’energy batteries’.”

”As for those civilizations with unique features...”

He raised his head, his eyes filled with terror.

”They are turned into ’pets’ or ’living specimens’, placed in auction houses for those big shots to amuse themselves!”

”Bang!”

Ye Qingcang slammed his fist onto the table, leaving a large dent in the special alloy steel surface.

”Those animals!”

The Old General’s eyes were bloodshot. ”Treating civilizations like livestock? I’m going to flatten that place!”

”Flatten it?”

Gao Jianjun gave a bitter laugh. ”Director Long, General Ye, you simply don’t understand.”

”Behind that place are ’conglomerates’, a behemoth even more terrifying than the Purification Council! They possess ’dimensional cutting’ technology. They could send any security team, and they could just...”

Before he could finish.

Without any warning.

Without any alarms, without any energy fluctuations.

”Zzzzt—”

A soft sound like fabric tearing rang out abruptly in the command room.

Immediately after.

That indestructible command console, built from strong interaction materials, suddenly split neatly down the middle.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror; even the atomic structure had been cleanly severed.

And along the extension line of that cut...

was exactly where Ye Qingcang had just been standing!

If he hadn’t angrily taken a step forward just now, it would be his body cut in two right now!

”Enemy attack!!!”

Ye Qingcang reacted extremely quickly. With a roar, his body instinctively rolled on the ground.

But this was just the beginning.

”Zzzzt! Zzzzt! Zzzzt!”

That teeth-grinding tearing sound began to ring out densely in every corner of the warship.

The ceiling of the cabin, the floor, and even the air began to show visible black cracks.

”Alert! Hull structural integrity dropped by 30%!”

”Alert! Shields ineffective! Physical defenses ineffective!”

”This is... this is a Dimensional Slash!!”

Su Qingying’s voice carried a trembling of despair for the first time.

This wasn’t an energy attack at all.

This was someone on a higher-dimensional plane, holding a pair of scissors, cutting the ”three-dimensional canvas” they were on into pieces!

”It’s over! It’s the patrol team! It’s the Slaughterhouse patrol team!”

Gao Jianjun was so scared he crawled under the table, clutching his head and screaming, ”We’ve been discovered! This is a ’Two-Dimensional Foil’ level strike! We’re going to turn into flat pictures!”

”Shut up!”

Lu Chen barked coldly.

He stood in front of the command console, watching the black crack spreading rapidly toward him.

Wherever the crack passed, all matter was collapsing and flattening.

The oppressive sense of death was even stronger than when they faced ”the cleaners” before.

”Dimensional strike?”

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, golden light erupting from his left eye, silver light gleaming menacingly from his right.

”Playing with paper cutting on my turf?”

”Did you ask me, the administrator?”

Lu Chen did not retreat.

Amidst everyone’s terrified gazes, he actually reached out his right hand toward the black crack capable of erasing everything!

”Commander Lu! Don’t move! That’s the power of rules!”

Long Weiguo’s eyes were splitting, wanting to rush over to stop him, but it was already too late.

”Wumm—!!!”

The moment Lu Chen’s palm touched the crack.

A chaotic-colored light, brilliant to the extreme, erupted from his palm!

That was not ordinary energy.

That was the underlying code of the ”pangu” system—[Reality Anchoring].

”Stop... for me!”

Lu Chen roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

That black crack, which was indestructible and frantically cutting through space, was actually caught by Lu Chen with one hand...!

It was just like catching a blade with bare hands!

”Zzzzt—”
