Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1086

"What are you afraid of?" Bianca looked incredibly smug. "This is a state-level research facility, specifically built for national institutes to conduct experiments. The power grid is heavily customized. How could it possibly fail to support a few thousand machines?"

She glanced at the screen.

And decisively cranked every other piece of equipment to maximum output.

Her teammates followed her every command without question.

Eager to please, they rushed around, setting all the new machines to their highest settings.

However...

Just as all the high-voltage precision instruments fired up simultaneously.

Zzzzt—

A harsh, piercing crackle of electricity ripped through the room.

Immediately after, the machines, which had been blinking steadily, began to vibrate violently.

Every single monitor in the lab blue-screened one after another.

Seconds later.

A chaotic symphony of blaring alarms erupted across the room.

"What's going on?" The smile vanished from Bianca's face as she stood frozen in shock.

Before anyone could process what was happening.

The lab lights flickered wildly.

Bang!

Sparks rained down.

Thick black smoke began pouring out of one of the main units.

At the exact same moment.

The entire laboratory plunged into darkness.

The lights completely died.

And it wasn't just their lab.

The lights and equipment across the entire island flickered once.

Before suffering a total, catastrophic blackout.

Instantly.

The entire island erupted into chaos.

"What happened? Why is the power out?"

"Ahhhh! My data! I didn't save my data!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"..."

The Board of Arbiters and the security personnel rushed over, desperately trying to maintain order.

But the contestants were absolutely livid.

In this state of blind rage, a few arbiters and guards couldn't possibly hold them back.

Inside the lab.

Bianca's face was ashen, staring at the doors in sheer panic.

"W-what do we do..."

The relentless pounding and the vicious curses screamed by the other teams terrified her.

Isabella's face was grim as she stared at the fried equipment, wishing she could scream at Bianca.

She honestly had no idea how Bianca had even made it into Marington College's Vanguard Honors Program or qualified for this competition.

She had literally just warned her.

But Bianca had arrogantly ignored her.

And now.

They had caused a massive disaster.

Despite her burning fury, Isabella didn't dare show it. She needed to desperately cling to the Doyle family to maintain her fabricated status.

"Bianca, the only thing we can do now... is go out there and apologize... Otherwise, we are never leaving this island..."
