Thrive in Catastrophe

"Maybe I slept too much."

Xiao Yan leaned against the pillow, and realized that the existence of the other party was much better than a nightmare.

"Fear, mostly because of the unknown."

The man on the sofa finally got up, and Xiao Yan could hear the man's footsteps gradually approaching him, each step stepping on his heartbeat.

"You think too much about the possibility that has not yet happened, which will only shake yourself and make you more panic."

Xiao Yan's heart sank under the weight of Heine sitting on the side of the bed.

"Go to sleep."

The other party's voice was as cold as ever, but Xiao Yan had the illusion that he was being gently coaxed.

He hoped that Heine would stay at the closest distance to him and not leave.And Hai Yin seemed to understand his expectations, and lay down beside Xiao Yan.Hai Yin's soft hair slid past Xiao Yan's ear, and the fleeting touch made Xiao Yan's heart beat faster for no reason.The other party's fingers gently fiddled with Xiao Yan's hair, and lightly stroked his forehead, Xiao Yan subconsciously moved closer to the other party.Heine's arms wrapped around his neck, gently clasped the back of his head, and pressed him to herself.

The next day, when Xiao Yan woke up, he found that it was close to noon, and the electronic alarm clock hadn't sounded. When he turned sideways, the first thing he saw was Hein. The smooth facial features made Xiao Yan open his mouth and let out a slight admiration.

His hair naturally fell on the pillow, and the delicate eyelids seemed to be the end of his eyes.

Xiao Yan stared at the other party greedily, until those eyes slowly opened, and another transparent and pure world split apart before Xiao Yan's eyes.

Holding his breath in his throat, Xiao Yan stared blankly at the other party's icy blue eyes.

"You should get up and wash up, or you won't be in time for lunch."

Heine stood up neatly, and those soft moments suddenly faded away like hallucinations.

Xiao Yan only saw his elegant nape and the tense back lines.

Today's restaurant is very lively, especially when Xiao Yan walked in, he could clearly feel the gazes on him.

For example, the inconceivable gazes of the researchers. After all, even Casey, who is called a genius, failed to make a breakthrough, but Xiao Yan made it possible. However, Xiao Yan was once an unknown B-class student, and now he is only a student. An ordinary second lieutenant.

Then came the special forces, they looked at Xiao Yan, the development of X-2 meant that their erosion by the X virus would be alleviated, and they might even enjoy the same lifespan as ordinary people.

And those special forces who had trained Xiao Yan, such as Mark and Wen En, their eyes were the same as before, even a little bit excited.

Mark shook the fork exaggeratedly, as if Xiao Yan was going to overturn the table if he didn't sit there.

As soon as Xiao Yan sat down, someone put the dinner plate beside him, it was the cold-faced Casey.

"Cathy..."

Kathy didn't speak, and thrust the fork into the potato vigorously, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously, his bulging cheeks looked like a frog.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to poke his cheek with his hand in amused manner, the guy turned his head away with a "hum".

Seeing Casey's childish expression, Mark and Winn couldn't help but smile at each other.You must know that Lieutenant Colonel Casey's willful appearance is not so easy to see.

"I'm angry, can I treat you to popcorn?"

"not good."

Casey obviously wanted Xiao Yan to coax him, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him with the dinner plate.

Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head and looked at Wen En, who just held back a smile.

"That, Kathy... I solemnly apologize to you."

"Apologize for what?"

"As a friend and superior, I shouldn't hide my research results from you."

Casey still had a cold face, and the more Xiao Yan looked at it, the more he felt that he had become a potato on the dinner plate.

"I'm still discussing virus research with you like a fool! You... You even went to Antarctica!"

In an instant, Xiao Yan felt guilty.After returning to Shire, Xiao Yan found out that Lieutenant General Ewell originally planned to send Casey to the South Pole, and it was Major General Gordon and Heine who chose him.

Casey's nose turned red, looking pitiful and cute in Xiao Yan's eyes, he really wanted to rub it in his arms.

"In the future, I will study with you openly."

"Is your brain not working? Now all your research must be done independently! How can you study with me! If I am a bad person, I will see all the stupid things in your mind!" Casey almost He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Yan's face severely.

"We don't need to go through the terminal! I can still talk to you!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly delivered the veal from his dinner plate to Casey's plate.

Mark and Winn laughed even harder.

"I think you should get married." Mark winked.

Wen En cleared his throat, closed his eyes and said, "I would like to share everything with you, no matter potatoes, beef, research results, and other trivial things in my life."

"Including shit and fart." Mark added solemnly.

Xiao Yan glared at Mark, while Casey beside him burst out laughing.

"Haha... you guys share shit and fart with him! I'm not the one who supervises him!"

Xiao Yan's neck stiffened, and Heine sat down opposite him with a plate, and ate with elegance. She clearly felt Xiao Yan's gaze, but she didn't raise her eyes.

"Lieutenant General Aiweier has issued an order that each researcher is not allowed to exchange their own research content, including progress, details and data." Heine said coldly, and the noisy atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became quiet.

Ten minutes later, Heine's dinner plate was empty, and the action of putting down the knife and fork with her slender fingers was very elegant, but Xiao Yan felt inexplicable pressure.

Xiao Yan couldn't help lowering his head, and continued to eat his dinner. He glanced at Casey from the corner of his eye, and this guy really showed a displeased expression.

There is no way, Heine is one level higher than Casey in terms of military rank.

Heine didn't get up, but sat where she was and waited for Xiao Yan to use up.

Casey stomped on Xiao Yan under the dining table, Xiao Yan wanted to growl but could only stuff more things into his mouth to hold it back.He understood why Casey was angry. When Heine said that they were not allowed to communicate with each other, Xiao Yan did not refute.

Xiao Yan freed one hand and pushed Casey, but the other party would not let go.

The next moment, Xiao Yan felt something kick Kaixi's calf away, and Xiao Yan's feet finally regained their freedom. Sometimes Kaixi is childish like a child, making people powerless.

Xiao Yan thought it was Wen En. After all, Mark wouldn't notice what was going on under the table, but Wen En thumped Mark's shoulder as if he had just talked about something interesting.

It wasn't Wen En and Mark... Xiao Yan turned his head to Heine's direction, only he was sitting opposite to Casey, and his indifferent eyes fell on Casey's forehead at this moment, so oppressive that Casey couldn't lift his head .

"Well... I finished eating, I'm going to the research room first... I slept too late today, hehe, I have to go back to the research room to catch up with the progress!"

Xiao Yan squeezed Casey's fingers under the dining table, then got up.

He Yin naturally followed Xiao Yan to leave. Xiao Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of Casey. In fact, he also wanted to do research with Casey. The progress and results should be more rapid.

When Xiao Yan left, Casey also cleared away the dinner plate, leaving only Mark and Wen En exchanging a look.

"Lieutenant Colonel Casey...Knowing that Xiao Yan has gone to the South Pole, his position is also very embarrassing." Wen En propped his chin.

"Genius was snatched away by a rookie?" Mark asked stupidly.

"I just think that since his brain is stronger than Xiao Yan, why the X-2 research has no results after he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Maybe he needs the opportunity of Antarctic research more than Xiao Yan to prove his ability. "Winn chuckled.

"Geniuses also encounter bottlenecks one day." Mark scratched his head indifferently.

Xiao Yan, who returned to the laboratory, had no interest in researching viruses at all.

Because once it is connected to the terminal, it may encounter the invasion of the 'blocker'.

Whenever I think that my own thoughts and ideas are constantly being absorbed by the other party, and the thinking layer is constantly being destroyed, and I have no power to resist under the panic, the only thing I have is fear.

For several days, although Xiao Yan sat in the research room, he only checked various research data on the hologram, or typed in codes to conduct some meaningless experiments, while Hein sat opposite him, Xiao Yan knew that he had already Seen through by Heine.

But Heine didn't say a word.

A week later, Hein left because of the joint meeting between the Special Task Force and the Central Academy of Sciences. This was the first time that Hein was not by his side since his brain was hacked.

Sitting quietly in the research room, even though he knew that there was still half a team of special forces guarding him outside the door, Xiao Yan felt inexplicably uneasy.

Every second of consumption is torture.

The silence in the research room was terrifying. Xiao Yan turned on all the holographic images and allowed the system to operate aimlessly, but he himself couldn't really think.

The door of the research room slid open, Xiao Yan was subconsciously nervous, and when he turned around, he met Hein in a straight military uniform.The restless mood suddenly calmed down.

Xiao Yan let out a silent breath.

Mark stood behind Heine.The big guy tugged at his collar impatiently, as if he was not used to the uniform of the military department.Of course, Xiao Yan has to say that this guy is still suitable for combat uniforms. Wearing the military uniform on Mark is like putting a doll's skirt on a gorilla.

"Hey! Xiao Yan! I haven't seen you all morning, do you miss me so much!"

Mark walked over and was about to pat Xiao Yan on the shoulder. He seemed to remember that this useless researcher would not be able to withstand his strength without injecting X-2. In the end, he just rubbed against Xiao Yan's shoulder. How do you see it? funny.

"Colonel Burton."

The tense heartstrings are slowly relaxed, and some kind of expectation is raised.

"Yeah." Heine nodded slightly. The trousers in the military uniform fit perfectly and were full of texture, which set off Heine's long legs with implied strength and a very artistic beauty. The upright collar seemed to curb all impulses and desires. Glossy epaulets, sash naturally hanging from the right shoulder in a proper arc and connected to the front, elegant and decent.The tightened black belt perfectly outlines Heine's waistline.

If he hadn't attended an important meeting of the military headquarters, Xiao Yan might not have had the chance to see Hein in a formal military uniform until his death.

He couldn't help but keep looking at Hein, as if Hein would disappear as long as he moved his gaze away a little.

The other party's fingers deftly entered the code on the holographic control, and all the screens disappeared in an instant, "You haven't connected to the terminal once this week."

"..."

It finally came to this moment, as expected, it was impossible for Heine to let herself go.

"It's your instinct for self-preservation, your brain knows where the danger is coming from and responds with avoidance."

Heine sat down in front of Xiao Yan, her crossed legs entered Xiao Yan's brain along the calm air.

"In order to ensure that your research continues, I will be ordered to enter your brain to protect you in real time. I will always be outside your thinking, and any blockers who intend to invade your brain will not be able to bypass me. But I must You are warned, this requires your absolute trust in me."

This is the decision of Major General Gordon and Lieutenant General Ewell.

Xiao Yan raised his head to look at Hai Yin, the other party's expression was still unapproachable, the tightened collar and the tough military uniform seemed to have firmly imprisoned all of Hai Yin's thoughts, and he didn't know how to get a glimpse of the depth of his heart .But Xiao Yan always felt that his eyes were really beautiful, they were the only channel through which this self-made and cold body could communicate with each other, these were Xiao Yan's most trusted pair of eyes.

"I understand, Colonel."

"In addition, you must learn one skill - how to resist the 'blocker'."

"...Really? Can I learn this? Who will teach me?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he looked forward to it instantly. In his opinion, resisting the invasion of the Blockers is much more practical than doing brain-intensive research!Instead of panicking, it is better to learn to deal with it!

Mark couldn't help laughing, "Aha, your reaction is really direct. You know that it is not so easy to train the brain to resist blockers. It involves the communication of thoughts between the mentor and the guided. Your brain Very special, the speed of intervention is faster than that of Colonel Shen Bing!"

Xiao Yan remained silent, and he would not allow anyone to enter his brain. The more people who are good at dealing with blockers, the more dangerous they are to him, because they know that it is easy to obtain any information from Xiao Yan's brain. .

So apart from Heine's outer protection of the brain, only Heine can teach him.

"Mark, you teach him."

"..." Xiao Yan was stunned.

Why Mark?

Xiao Yan's disappointment showed on his face.

That guy was very rude at first glance. Although he had also seen him connect to the terminal to pilot the aircraft, Xiao Yan always felt that Mark was unreliable in this respect.

"Learn how to resist a 'blocker' by becoming a blocker yourself first. You get into Mark's brain, and Mark blocks you."

Xiao Yan suddenly realized that this is indeed much more useful than talking about a bunch of empty theories.

But at this time Mark had a completely terrified expression.

"No! Absolutely not! I don't allow anyone to get into my brain! Not to mention this rookie has no experience at all! It will definitely mess up my brain!"

"This is an order."

"...Boss, kill me..."

The way Mark stepped back step by step was ridiculous.

"Mark, you don't have any secrets that you're afraid of being seen by me, do you?"

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Mark blushed suspiciously.

"It's none of your business! Anyway, no one is allowed to enter my brain!"

"Then enter mine."

As soon as He Yin finished speaking, not only Mark was stunned, but even Xiao Yan was also stunned.

"Boss... what did you say?" Mark pointed at Xiao Yan with a broken look, "You let this rookie go into your mind?"

"After you entered my mind, your purpose was to find a piece of information. Xiao Yan, if you give me a question, I will think about the answer, and your purpose of sneaking into my mind is to steal that answer."

Xiao Yan still hasn't woken up from the shock of "entering Heine Burton's brain".

For a long time, nothing in the world was reflected in this man's eyes, yet Xiao Yan actually had the opportunity to peek into this man's world?

what will he see

No, the other party was Heine Burton, and Xiao Yan wouldn't even have the chance to touch anything he didn't want Xiao Yan to see.

But Xiao Yan knew that only by following this man could he truly become stronger.

"What kind of subject?"

Xiao Yan has heard that before the age of 17, Hai Yin was also a Class A student of the Central Academy of Sciences. Just when everyone thought that he would make a great career in the research field, he resolutely abandoned everything and joined the special task force.

"Any topic."

Xiao Yan thought about it, and designed a very complicated argument, involving physics, chemistry, and extremely difficult functions. Using the terminal to solve this problem is very fast, but the difficulty lies in how Hein hides this problem. Answer?

Heine closed her eyes and put on the connecting device.

Xiao Yan sat opposite him, his heart beating nervously.Allowing access to another person's mind, this person has absolute confidence in hiding their subconscious thoughts.

"Terminal connection, neuron calibration."

In the ear is the sound of the system's emotionless notification.

Xiao Yan's thoughts surged all the way, and he was speeding through the channel with constantly changing angles. He didn't have time to judge the direction, and he didn't know how to make a choice.This is a huge maze, the passages are constantly tightened, and he will be crushed at any time.

A sense of fear arises spontaneously, even if he knows that Heine will not do anything dangerous to him, if he has fear in the face of the leader Xiao Yan, then he has no power to resist the real members of the tide organization .What he needs to think about now is how to break through the maze!If he continues to advance along the passage constructed by Heine, his final destination will only be the trap that Heine deliberately lured him into.

Instead of following the road constructed by Hai Yin, it is better to forge a road by yourself!

Xiao Yan pierced through the barriers of the passage, broke through the layers of limitations, and came out of the tunnel maze.In this pitch-black space, Xiao Yan knew that he hadn't reached Heine's level of thinking, and this guy trapped himself on the outer edge of his thinking.

What is needed now is calmness, blindly charging will only give the opponent a chance to fight back.

The most important thing is that Hai Yin confuses Xiao Yan's direction in such a way. Without any reference, he can't feel the gravity. This is the space for thinking. Xiao Yan doesn't know which direction to enter the other party's deep thinking.

In an instant, Xiao Yan dispersed himself, thinking is invisible, never a whole, just like water flow, it can spread to any place.Continuously extending, like an expanding universe, Xiao Yan finally found a direction, quickly gathered and rushed towards that direction.

The mirrors of countless prisms are overwhelming, and he seems to have entered the world of a kaleidoscope. The direction of travel is once again blocked and he loses his way.

Xiao Yan didn't break through a single prism, it shattered into countless faces, surrounding him and cutting everything about him.Even if he scattered in different directions, these prism fragments seemed to be embedded in his flesh and blood, following him like a shadow, unable to get rid of.

Just after Xiao Yan lost his strength and could not continue, a figure approached in front of him.

Xiao Yan collapsed without strength and fell into He Yin's arms.

"Xiao Yan, if I were your enemy, you would have been terminated right now."

"The end..."

Xiao Yan feels very tired. If he is terminated, he will be terminated. This is just a training... It is impossible for him to become a master like Hai Yin overnight...

"You need a lesson."

Heine's voice was cold, but there was a bit of softness in the tone.

His palm moved upwards slowly along Xiao Yan's neck, clasped the back of his head, and captured his lips in an instant.Xiao Yan struggled in horror as he kissed with the intention of killing.The frenzied intrusion seems to want to strangle everything about Xiao Yan.

This is a scene he never imagined.The opponent's fingers were almost embedded under his muscles.

Xiao Yan tried to pull himself away and dissolve his body, but he seemed to be imprisoned in this body by the other party and forced to bear everything.

"Do you really think I won't hurt you?"

Xiao Yan finally understood that Hai Yin's method of imprisoning him was not the so-called labyrinth, but his own body.If he can't diverge his thoughts, he can't escape from here.

Everything was out of control, he was pressed down hard by the other party, his neck was twisted, and he was forced to accept Heine's kiss that swallowed everything, his body was opened, and the arrogant and unscrupulous squeeze almost made him collapse. , The crazy impact penetrated into the deepest part of this body without reservation, Xiao Yan couldn't breathe, the pain was so unbearable, the force of the impact seemed to shatter him to pieces at any time.

"If you don't want it, leave."

Heine's voice was so indifferent that she didn't have the slightest emotion, and she couldn't see any eyes expressing her desire, as if all this was just torture to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan wanted to escape, but as long as he opened the slightest distance, he would be pushed back more decisively by the opponent, crazier every time.

He was bewildered by his previous tenderness, and completely forgot about Heine.The brutal side of Burton!
