The moist sea breeze blew on Barney's face, making him feel chills.Even though it was late spring, the sea breeze near the higher latitudes was not always psychologically warm for Barney.His itinerary this time did not include going out to sea to watch whales, but when he heard in the restaurant that someone had spotted the shadow of a whale at sea a few days ago, he couldn't help but go out to sea.

Although I heard that some people saw whales in the sea, Barney didn't hold out any hope of seeing them, especially in the waters near the ice floes of Antarctica. Barney didn't think he could see his favorite sperm whale. .

It has been more than two hours since he was out at sea, and Barney, who was a little bit unbearable by the sea wind, decided to return. At this moment, he saw some movement on the calm sea. After confirming that it was not his illusion, what he saw was indeed After the jet of water sprayed out by the whale, Barney took out the personal terminal that had been put away.Before he had time to point his personal terminal in the direction of the water column to confirm what kind of whale it was, Barney saw the picture of a huge sperm whale jumping out of the water to hunt fish. Hold up your personal terminal to record this moment.

Today, the possibility of seeing the sperm whale that lives in the deep sea and likes to hunt under the sea surface has become very slim, but Barney still stayed at sea for a few extra hours.

Even though no photo was taken, the image of a huge male sperm whale jumping out of the water was deeply engraved in Barney's mind. Just now.

In this way, Barney was immersed in a deep sense of happiness after the shock, which made him suffocate.

Suddenly, he finally realized that this feeling of suffocation was real. It had been several years since he met a whale. Determined not to let the marquee of life keep spinning, he tried his best to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was Dan Ni's still expressionless indifferent face.

Danny still maintained the same movements as before Barney briefly lost consciousness. Even though the strength in his hands had eased, as a human, Barney still couldn't break free from the bionic man who was several times stronger than himself. He tried to struggle, and changed to Here comes Danny, a merciless slap.

Barney, who was under attack firmly, only felt staring and dizzy, but even in this situation, he still couldn't give up breaking free from Danny's confinement, and the countdown on the surrounding screens had less than 10 minutes left Now, we can't let all the previous efforts go to waste when we are only close to the goal.

Barney was not willing to give up.

During the resistance, Barney tore off one of Danny's sleeves, and the exposed arm was shining with light in motion. At this moment, Barney thought of something, and he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, while focusing on attacking When Danny didn't notice, he connected the USB flash drive with the anti-virus program to the interface on Danny's arm.

The moment Danny plugged in the flash drive, Danny stopped attacking, and Barney was able to use this moment to free himself from Danny's attack.It's just that it didn't work for long. The virus's sense of self-protection made Danny unplug the USB drive and throw it far across the room after a moment's pause.

Seeing that Danny was about to attack again, Barney didn't know where the strength came from, so Barney picked up the computer chair at hand and swung towards Danny vigorously.

Although it is just a simple and crude cold weapon—maybe not even considered a weapon—the effect of the computer chair is much more obvious than the sophisticated modern procedures. The moment Danny was hit by the computer chair, Danny completely lost his mobility Collapsed.

Barney quickly ran to his personal terminal, which was somewhat affected by the previous fight. Fortunately, this terminal was not disconnected from the central computer and was still running.While Barney breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately pressed the Enter key.

At the same time as the final anti-virus level was running, all the countdowns on the screen disappeared. After repeatedly confirming that the central computer was free of viruses, Barney spent some time strengthening the defense program of the central computer.After everything was finished, Barney picked up the USB flash drive that Danny had thrown away, and then squatted down to check Danny's situation.

On the surface, Danny didn't have much damage. The main problem was the program that was eroded by the virus. Although the central computer had already started to perform antivirus operations for all the terminals connected to it, Barney was not sure that the program from the Space-Time Administration Whether Danny who came here can enjoy the anti-virus service of the central computer, he decided to do it himself.

After connecting the personal terminal to Danny, it didn't take long for Barney to clear all the viruses that affected Danny. Danny's main program began to repair itself, but after waiting for a long time, Barney didn't see any signs of Danny waking up. .

"It's not really broken, is it?" Barney patted Danny's cheek, and the rapid drop in body temperature made Barney feel quite uneasy, "Danny, don't scare me!"

Still no response from Danny.

Not only did Danny not wake up, but almost at the same time his words fell, Barney also heard the sound of the protective wall on the second basement floor being opened.

Knowing that the mandatory protection time of the protective wall in the previous chaos has passed, the guards waiting outside the old city hall building successfully opened the protective walls one after another without Danny's obstruction. Seeing how many walls they still have You can reach the computer room, staying here is only a dead end, Barney decided to go out of the room to see if there is any other way out.

Pulling off the wires of several unused machines and connecting them together, this time Barney tied Danny firmly to his body, and he walked out of the computer room with Danny on his back like this.

There is almost nothing in the corridor outside the computer room door, and it doesn’t look like there is another exit. When Barney was thinking about whether to go back to the computer room and “kidnap” the central computer as a hostage, he noticed the wall next to him A door appeared that did not exist before.

Since there was no better choice, Barney opened the door that appeared out of thin air without any hesitation.

After opening the door, Barney accidentally saw an elevator. Although he knew that there was no elevator in the old city hall building, he still pressed the elevator up button under the current circumstances.

Almost at the moment Barney pressed the button, the elevator opened the door after a crisp "ding--" sound. With the sound of the guard kicking the door behind him, Barney jumped onto the elevator with Danny on his back.

There is only one button on the elevator panel besides the door opening and closing keys. The button is not marked with any characters representing the floor, but a complex pattern with an hourglass. Now that we have boarded this weird elevator that appeared out of thin air, Barney Decided not to think about the result, anyway, in the current situation, the worst thing is to die with Danny behind his back.The boat was naturally straight when it reached the bridge, and he pressed the only button to start the elevator.

The moment the button was pressed, the elevator began to rise steadily, but after a few minutes, there was still no sign of stopping. This made Barney, who was used to the high-speed elevator that could reach the target floor in a few seconds, feel a little uncomfortable.

Normally, this is no problem, but today, after experiencing a series of events, Barney suddenly started to get scared. He was worried that what would happen if it was Frankenstein's elevator, and he would be arrested for experiments as soon as the door was opened. , it would be better to choose to be killed by the guards just now.

Just when Barney was thinking wildly, the elevator finally arrived at its destination. After the elevator door opened, there was no sign of Frankenstein, not even a shadow.Barney stepped out of the elevator vigilantly, looked into the bright hall in front of him, and was startled by the female voice behind him when he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Barnabas Crocker."

After hearing the name "Barnabas", Barney suddenly changed from frightened to stiff. This is indeed his full name, but everyone has called him Barney since he was a child, even now except his parents and friends. No one outside the official identity registration knew that his real name was Barnabas. Over time, Barney subconsciously felt that no stranger should know his name, especially in this strange place, let alone someone who knew his name was Barnabas. the name.

He put his finger on the safety lock of the grenade, and then slowly turned around. In front of him was a woman in uniform, who couldn't tell whether it was a human or a bionic person.

The woman in uniform nodded towards Barney, showing a professional smile, "Welcome to the Space-Time Administration."

The author has something to say: Barnabas (Barnabas) comes from Hebrew, meaning son of prophecy (son of prophecy), nicknamed Barney (Barney)

The reason why it is only revealed now is that on the one hand, it hides the meaning of "son of prophecy", and on the other hand, it feels that Barnabas is not as smooth as Barney
