Thrive in Catastrophe

Hai Yin's simple sentence "I know" instantly poured into the depths of Xiao Yan's thinking, like a certain positioning, a certain direction, Xiao Yan clearly realized the meaning of his existence for the first time.

His life is once again under the supervision of the special task forces, but Xiao Yan no longer yearns for a rich and colorful life outside, which makes Maya sad.

For example, today, when the two were sitting at the dining table, Maya vividly described to him how luxurious the newly opened bar in Shire was, "Hey, you can't even imagine it—this is a veritable crystal bar! The bar is also It’s rotating! Customers can appreciate the bartending process in 360 degrees! There are even twelve bartenders performing together!”

"Oh, yes." Xiao Yan nodded, obviously he didn't listen to what Maya said.

Maya raised her voice very dissatisfied: "There is also the air performance of the band! The degree of difficulty of the movements may not even be able to be done by us special forces! When your supervision period is over, I will take you out to have fun! What is bluer than that?" Color tulips are much more luxurious!"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan lowered his head, chewing on the food in his mouth for at least five or six minutes.

Maya couldn't help moving his dinner plate away, but Xiao Yan didn't notice all this at all, the fork was kicking back and forth on the dining table.

After more than ten seconds, he finally came back to his senses, "Hey... where is my dinner plate?"

Only then did he notice Maya's dissatisfied expression with her arms crossed.

"What... Maya... what did you just say?"

"Let me tell you, Lily, your contemporary, has passed the assessment and became Lieutenant General Ewell's alternate liaison officer!"

"Oh, then congratulations to her!" Xiao Yan showed a joyful expression.

"Just to congratulate her? That's it?" Maya poked her head over.

Xiao Yan showed a dazed expression, besides congratulating... what else could he do?

Maya froze for a moment, then lowered her head and let out a long sigh, "Apart from research, do you have anything else in your head?"

Xiao Yan just smiled apologetically, his brain was thinking about his research all the time.

Never before had he pursued an answer so desperately.

While Xiao Yan was rapidly processing all the data in the research room, Major General Gordon and a certain middle-aged man were watching everything in front of them from the high observation room.

"Actually, you have been paying attention to him. The first person who agrees with his research report is you." Gordon put his hand comfortably in the pocket of his military trousers, and turned his face to look at the lieutenant general beside him.

"Now it seems that your decision is wiser than mine, the head of the Central Academy of Sciences. He is indeed the best candidate to be sent to Antarctica." Lieutenant General Ewell tapped his finger on the glass.

"It's not that you're unwise, it's just that you don't have the courage to take risks. That's why I sent Heine Burton to protect him. So far Heine hasn't missed." Mentioning his subordinates, Major General Gordon showed a smug smile.

"It's not difficult for Xiao Yan to understand the comet virus, but how to ensure his safety and protect his brain in the future... none of us are absolutely sure."

Major General Gordon walked in front of Aiweier unhurriedly, put one hand on the glass next to his ear, leaned down, and narrowed the distance with Aiweier, "Your Excellency, worrying too much will make you lose sight of it." Clear the direction. Don't underestimate my special task forces, and don't underestimate Xiao Yan."

Ewell chuckled, "I'll wait and see."

A few days later, Xiao Yan synthesized a new type of virus. Based on his research on the stability of comet viruses, he applied the same mechanism to this virus, and conducted repeated tests and system simulation experiments on this newly synthesized virus. , if successful, this will become the X-2 with the longest duration in the body, and it can be used by ordinary armed soldiers to deal with small-scale zombie attacks.

Pursing the corners of his lips, Xiao Yan felt for the first time that he was one step closer to the answer that countless elite researchers were looking for.He pushed the dose into the syringe and walked to the lab door.

At this moment, the alarm sounded.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to stop researching and locking the data immediately. He entered the monitoring system, and was shocked by what he saw, that is, countless zombies poured in in the corridor, and the two special forces guarding the door were fighting, but the more they killed, The more zombies are pouring in!

What's the matter!

Xiao Yan inspected the situation in the building, only to find that all the zombie storage devices used for research and training in the whole building were unlocked. The headquarters of the special task forces suddenly became a mess, and all the special forces on standby at the headquarters were busy cleaning up. .

His intuition told Xiao Yan that someone must have hacked into the building's internal control system to create such chaos.In addition to the Central Academy of Sciences, the most stringent terminal protection is the special task force. The other party can control the system here. There is only one possibility. situation.It's just... what is the other party's purpose?

Taking advantage of the chaos to take away a researcher's brain?

Xiao Yan's fingers trembled. He suddenly discovered that there were two training rooms on the same floor. All the zombies inside had escaped, and the closed passage just formed a closed loop. To the research room where Xiao Yan is located at the end of the passage!

It is simply designed deliberately so that the zombies have no choice!

At that moment, the door of the research room suddenly slid open, and countless zombies poured in. Two special forces soldiers tried to enter the research room to protect Xiao Yan, but there were too many zombies. The moment they finally escaped, the door of the research room suddenly closed. close.

Xiao Yan tapped the button, but the door didn't slide open.

No matter how stupid he is, he finally understands that all this is not a coincidence, and their target is himself!

Without any time to think, Xiao Yan lifted the injection gun and injected the virus medicine into his body.

Zombies have come before him, they want to tear his body and eat his flesh and blood!

The potion spread in the blood, invading every cell of Xiao Yan, and his ability to visually capture motion was greatly improved. Every move of the zombies seemed to be played back in slow motion in his eyes, and the sound of the bones when they moved was extremely clear.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and crushed a zombie's throat, then raised his leg and kicked violently, a zombie flew up like a cannonball, slammed into the cold wall, and burst like mud.

The figure of Heine Burton appeared unconsciously in his mind, and his body followed the movement of that figure. Xiao Yan's elbow cracked a zombie's sternum, and without turning back, he turned sideways and backhanded and broke its head.

There were still three zombies left, even though all of their kind close to Xiao Yan had become a pile of rotting corpses, they didn't understand what fear was, and rushed towards them from three directions.

Suddenly lowering his body, Xiao Yan punched the zombie's chin, the bones cracked loudly, stepped on another zombie's knee and flew up into the air, smashing the back of the third zombie's neck with his punch .

The remaining two zombies shook their bodies and wanted to move forward again.

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue and knocked them together, breaking their neck bones in an instant.

The whole laboratory fell silent.

On the glass window of the laboratory, two special soldiers tapped on the door to signal Xiao Yan to come out.

Xiao Yan pressed the button, but the door was still locked.

Major General Gordon frowned as the sirens sounded.

"Attention all personnel, the control system of the I floor is invalid, the isolation system of the J floor is invalid, all the training zombies are out of control, all personnel enter the combat state, and start cleaning up!"

The alarm was still repeated, and Hai Yin, who was standing next to Major General Gordon, suddenly left sideways, because the door that alerted Major General Gordon was temporarily closed, He Yin looked back at Major General, "Open the door!"

"Are you going out to clean up the zombies too?"

"Xiao Yan's research room is on the I floor!"

Young Master Gordon's shoulders suddenly became tense, "Jessica! Send people to Xiao Yan's laboratory immediately!"

Just when Major General Gordon pressed the button to open the sliding door, Heine had already rushed out.

Major General Gordon, who was still apprehensive, continued to urge the liaison officer, "Report the situation of Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan's research room on the first floor immediately!"

"There are a large number of zombies flocking to the research room, but they have all been cleaned up! At present, all the passages leading to Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan's research room are closed, the isolation system is out of control, and the door of the research room cannot be opened!"

The holographic screen showed two special soldiers trying to open the door of the laboratory, and the laboratory was in a mess, with zombies lying on the ground, and Xiao Yan was the only person in the entire laboratory, and no one except him could kill these zombies.

Judging from the number of these zombies, ordinary people, even armed soldiers with rich combat experience, cannot completely wipe them out... Major General Gordon guessed that Xiao Yan must have injected himself with X-2!To what extent has this young man's research progressed, to let the enemy use any means to this extent!

Major General Gordon gritted his teeth and pressed his head, and immediately ordered: "No matter what the price is, the safety of Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan must be guaranteed!"

At this time, Xiao Yan was thinking about the situation in front of him. It was obvious that the system of the headquarters of the special mission force was invaded by the Tide Organization, and the door of the research room was also deliberately locked, which showed that Tide intentionally closed himself here!The research room is connected to various medicine configurations. If an intruder opens the poisonous medicine, he will die in this confined space!Even if you encounter zombies when you open the door, the special forces outside the door are experts in cleaning up zombies. You can only be safe if you try to open the door of the research room and stay with the special forces.

Xiao Yan put on the terminal connection device, entered the system, and prepared to open the door of his research room.At that moment, he felt a force invading reversely along his thinking, constantly absorbing the information in his brain. At that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly understood that he had encountered a "blocker"!But this time it was different from the blockers he encountered while flying the aircraft.The former is to destroy his mind and deprive him of the ability to fly the aircraft, while the latter is to steal information from his mind!

Xiao Yan was at a loss, he couldn't build a barrier of thinking, so shutting the other party into his own thinking was like sending a huge cake in front of the other party.

That power is deepening, and all Xiao Yan's ideas and data analysis for research are being dragged and copied bit by bit. Xiao Yan immediately presses the button to interrupt contact, but he is horrified to find that his limbs Unable to move!

Oops!The other party must have hindered his thinking conduction!

Xiao Yan evaded in a panic, dismantling everything about X-2 in his mind, delaying the time for the other party to obtain all the information.

Anyone is fine!Find him quickly!

Xiao Yan's heart was tense, and his brain was spinning rapidly, trying to shake off the opponent like a centrifuge.And the speed at which the other party followed was staggering!

He couldn't hold on any longer, Xiao Yan kept hiding his only analysis results on Heine Burton's blood sample and the research on comet virus, no matter what, he couldn't let the other party take them away!

At this time, layers of access doors were opened, and the special task forces resumed their internal control over the headquarters. Heine rushed through the control doors one after another, and finally came to the door of the research room.

"Colonel! The door is locked!" Two special forces hurriedly reported.

Heine's pupils froze when he saw Xiao Yan wearing a terminal connector through the glass on the door.Without any explanation, he took out the gun on his waist.

"Colonel! What are you going to do! You can't open the door with a gun!"

"Step aside!"

Heine couldn't help but shoot at the door.Sure enough, there was a depression between the door and the wall, and the door didn't move at all.Heine pulled out the sharp blade on his back and pushed it between the door and the gap between the wall.

The two special forces soldiers finally understood Heine's intentions.This sliding door fits perfectly into the wall for a seamless fit.But the shot just now created a depression, creating a fulcrum for the sharp blade to pry open the door.

Heine pressed down the handle of the blade, stepped on the wall with one leg, and attached all his strength to the blade. He clenched his teeth, and the blade slowly bent under his strength, while the door of the research room opened a thumb-wide gap.

"help!"

The two special forces quickly put their blades in, and when the door was pried to the point where they could put their arms in, Heine stretched out his hand to hold the door without hesitation.

After a low murmur, he pushed the door open just enough for a person to squeeze in, "Let go!"

"Colonel!" The two special forces didn't dare to let go. Once they let go, the sliding door will quickly return to its original position. If Heine doesn't pass through at this moment, he will be crushed by the sliding door.

"There's no time!" Heine glared at them fiercely.

The moment they withdrew their blades, Heine squeezed past, so fast that it was unexpected.The door was closed again heavily, and the special forces outside the door couldn't help but let out a breath when they saw Hein's safe and sound running towards Xiao Yan's back on the glass.

Heine half-kneeled in front of Xiao Yan, touched Xiao Yan's fingertips, and took another terminal connector involuntarily.

In an instant, Xiao Yan, who was hiding himself in embarrassment, felt a powerful force rushing into his brain, cutting off the tide of the intruder's thoughts neatly, wrapping Xiao Yan up, making it airtight, and even extending his power to chase after him in reverse. Suo, the opponent couldn't help but quickly withdraw from Xiao Yan's brain under such a strong counterattack.

Xiao Yan was still terrified, but at that moment, the power surrounding him disappeared, and the terminal was removed from his head. He took a deep breath, and his eyes were dizzy.

When Heine's stern face was finally recognized, Xiao Yan's heart finally fell back into his chest.

"Heine..."

"Shh...look at me and regulate your breathing."

He Yin's very calm voice brought Xiao Yan's chaotic thinking back to reality, his fingers brushed over the sweaty hair on Xiao Yan's forehead, his eyes were soft and firm at that moment.

"I...my body can't move..."

"You can move and imagine your thoughts from your brain to your eyes, and it's now flowing down your arm, down your wrist, into your fingertips."

Xiao Yan closed his eyes, imagining the flow of thoughts.

"Move your fingertips."

Heine's voice was cold and rational, but the tone was surprisingly patient.

Xiao Yan's fingers slowly retracted. At that moment, all the senses of the body rushed into his brain. He regained control of his body at that moment. The first thing he did was to hold Heine's wrist.

"Now stand up with me."

Xiao Yan stood up shaking, and his sense of balance gradually recovered.

Panting heavily, he looked at Heine hard.The other party's fingers kept gently pressing his forehead to help him relax.

Zombies were impatiently trying to rush in outside the door, and the cold blade cut them open. Their sensitive figure jumped up with the help of the passage wall, and all the zombies were cleaned up.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wallis..." The special forces in charge of protecting Xiao Yan were shocked by the opponent's skill.

Jane glanced at them coldly, and said calmly, "Is this how you protect him?"

After finishing speaking, Jane entered Xiao Yan's research room, facing the scene where Xiao Yan was almost hugged by Hai Yin with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"You almost need brain rehabilitation. How dare you connect to the terminal rashly when you know that the tide has invaded the main control system?"

"Jane..." Xiao Yan called out the other person's name. The thought invasion just now was too strong, and his language function seemed to be affected.

"Colonel Burton, I don't think you can protect him alone now."

Jane's gaze has no warmth.

When Hein passed by Jane's side, the other party grabbed him and lowered his voice, "Lieutenant General Ewell is asking Major General Gordon about what happened today."

"Even so, it is impossible for Xiao Yan to return to the Central Academy of Sciences."

Mark and Liv have already arrived outside the door, "Boss, Admiral Aiweier is here, and he wants to see Xiao Yan."

"Lieutenant General Aiweier..." Xiao Yan looked at Hein. He didn't expect that a second lieutenant who had just graduated would meet the top leader of the Central Academy of Sciences!

Heine didn't look back, "Let's go."

Xiao Yan quickly followed behind him, but felt uneasy.

But no matter who he was facing, Xiao Yan had nothing to be ashamed of.He closed his eyes, cheered up and stepped forward quickly.

At this moment, all passages are cleaning up the corpses of zombies.

A zombie only had half of its sternum and one arm left, but it still refused to give up and crawled towards Xiao Yan.

Heine lowered her eyes, her foot movements were incredible, and the zombie was kicked into the cleaner.

They came to Major General Gordon's office, and the liaison officer was guarding the door.

Heine turned around with a calm expression. When his elegant and slender fingers stretched out towards him, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat.

His fingers straightened Xiao Yan's collar and smoothed the wrinkles on his shoulders.

With such a close distance, Xiao Yan can see the other party's lowered eyelids as long as he raises his gaze.

"Go."

"Yes, Colonel." At that moment, all hesitation and apprehension suddenly disappeared, no matter who was standing in front of him, Xiao Yan would face it calmly.

The liaison officer opened the door, and Xiao Yan walked in.

In front of him was a simple desk, sitting in front of the desk was Major General Gordon, with a serious expression and no smile.

"Major General!"

Xiao Yan straightened his chest and gave a military salute very forcefully.

Major General Gordon tilted his head, Xiao Yan followed his gaze and saw a gray-haired man in a military uniform.

"Hello, Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan."

A slow and mellow voice sounded, a smile appeared on the man's lips, the smile lines at the corners of his eyes were mature and charming, and the brown eyes revealed a wise look.

"Your Excellency!" Xiao Yan turned to the man and saluted again.

This is Lieutenant General Aiweier, who is responsible for managing the entire Central Academy of Sciences, leading the core of Shire and even the most high-tech of mankind.

He was much younger than Xiao Yan imagined, and his eyes revealed a sense of oppression in pursuit of rigor, but it didn't make people want to escape.

"You are Xiao Yan."

This is the office of Major General Gordon. Although Lieutenant General Aiweier ranks higher than Major General Gordon, he is just a visitor. Since Xiao Yan entered this office, Lieutenant General Aiweier sat quietly on the reception sofa, completely He concealed his sense of existence, but the moment Xiao Yan looked at him, the other party gave him an air pressure that could not be ignored.

"Yes, sir!"

Lieutenant General Aiweier smiled, leaning back on the sofa with a relaxed expression, "The last time you developed an antidote against the biological weapon of the Tide Organization, I started to pay attention to you. I heard that you solved the X-2 virus The problem of being metabolized by the human body at a high speed."

"Report, I haven't completely solved this problem yet, I just extended the residence time of the X-2 virus in the human body to 21 minutes and 24 seconds."

Lieutenant General Aiweier smiled, his extraordinary demeanor made it impossible to look away.

"21 minutes and 24 seconds is already a revolutionary progress. However, in addition to the virus's own attenuation, the duration of the virus in the human body also includes whether the body's own immune system accepts it." Lieutenant General Aiweier supported it with one hand Chin, looking at Xiao Yan, the inspiring deep gaze made Xiao Yan feel like falling down, "It's not to destroy the body's immunity, but to make our body think that this virus is a part of itself, so...you can Unscrupulously use viruses to modify the human body's genes, making the effectiveness of X-2 permanent."

Xiao Yan looked at Lieutenant General Aiweier, unable to recover for a long time.

Until Major General Gordon got out of his seat and came between them, "Alright, Ewell, I know you are the smartest person on earth. But you didn't come here to know the research direction of Xiao Yan, right?"
