第110章 "Silence Shattered"

**Chapter 110: The Shattered Silence**

程星's anger had reached a point where she could no longer contain it. She slammed her fist on the table, making the engineer flinch. "How could you keep this from us?" she screamed, her voice echoing through the room.

The engineer, trembling slightly, raised his hands in a placating gesture. "I'm sorry, 程星. I was ordered to keep the truth from you. The government didn't want to panic the population."

程星's eyes blazed with fury. "Panic the population? You mean they're more concerned with maintaining their power than with saving humanity?"

The engineer nodded, his voice barely above a whisper. "Yes, that's what it boils down to. They're hiding the truth, and it's getting harder to keep it under wraps."

程星's anger was replaced by a sense of determination. She knew she had to act fast to expose the truth. "I'll take care of it," she said, her voice icy cold. "You're coming with me."

The engineer nodded, relief washing over his face. "Thank you, 程星. I'll do everything I can to help you."

As they left the room, 程星 couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead. She knew that the government would stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried. But she was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost.

As they made their way through the corridors, 程星's phone buzzed with an incoming message from an unknown number. She hesitated for a moment before answering it.

"程星, it's me," the voice on the other end said. "I know what's going on. I know the truth."

程星's heart skipped a beat. "Who is this?" she demanded.

"My name is irrelevant," the voice replied. "What's important is that I can help you. Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight. Come alone."

The line went dead, leaving 程星 with more questions than answers. Who was this mysterious figure? And what did they have to do with the impending collapse of the universe?

As she hung up the phone, 程星 felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that she was getting closer to the truth, but she also knew that she was in grave danger. The game was far from over, and the stakes were higher than ever.

程星 looked at the engineer, who was watching her with concern. "We have to be careful," she said. "There are forces at play that we can't even imagine. But I'm willing to take that risk to uncover the truth."

The engineer nodded, a determination in his eyes. "I'm with you, 程星. Let's do this."

As they parted ways, 程星 couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead. Would they be able to expose the truth and save humanity? Or would they become the next victims of the government's deceit? Only time would tell.
