Hao Ren could not say for sure whether all the administrators had died in the same chamber. But one thing was sure, none of the administrators were still alive. There could be more scenes like that in other server rooms, where the burnt wreckage of the administrators lay around.
Apparently, the Cortex Prime had orchestrated the mass destruction of these loyal workers.
Hao Ren approached the burnt wreckage carefully and flipped the washbasin-sized steel beetle. The joints of its robotic arms were frozen, preventing access to its insides. Hao Ren had to cut off two of its arms before he could remove the metal plate on its abdomen.
"It was destroyed from the inside out. The core circuit board was fried, and these coils were where the fire started apparently," said Hao Ren, pointing at the messy internal state of the administrator. "It's the result of a typical electric pulse attack."
