第88章 "怒火点燃" (The Flame of Anger Ignited)

**88. The Turning Point**

程星的愤怒和不信任感已经到了极点，她 refuses to believe that总工程师 was not answering her questions. The tension in the room was palpable, and even the other researchers were beginning to feel uneasy.

"总工程师，你不能这样继续下去。"程星 said, her voice shaking with anger. "I'm your subordinate, and you need to answer my questions. You can't treat me like a child who doesn't know anything."

总工程师 finally broke his silence, his eyes fixed on程星's face. "程星, I understand your frustration, but I must remind you that our discovery is not for public consumption. The consequences of revealing this information to the world would be catastrophic."

程星's anger boiled over, and she slammed her fist on the table. "You're just trying to cover something up, aren't you? You're hiding something from us!"

总工程师's expression was unfazed, but程星 could see a glimmer of annoyance in his eyes. "程星, I'm warning you, this is not a game. We're dealing with forces beyond our control. You need to trust me on this."

程星's anger turned to despair. She felt like she was being manipulated, and she didn't know what to do. She looked around the room, searching for some sense of clarity, but everything felt cloudy and unclear.

Suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker, and the air grew thick with an electric charge. The researchers exchanged nervous glances, and程星 felt her heart racing.

"What's happening?" someone whispered.

总工程师's eyes locked onto程星's, and he mouthed a single word: "Alert."

程星's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. The signal they had been tracking was not just a simple message – it was a warning, and it was being broadcasted to the entire world.

As the lights continued to flicker,程星 felt a strange sensation wash over her. It was as if the universe was shifting, and everything was about to change.

And then, everything went black.
