32 days

As soon as Yi Alan opened his eyes, he heard a cry of surprise from the side, and then, a group of people crowded around an instrument.

Luo Caiyun stood in the middle, looking a little stunned, and hesitated for a while to go to the biomedical team to see what new discoveries were made, or to ask Zhou Yanan and the others about the progress of their operation on the 32nd.However, she immediately turned her attention to Zhou Yan'an.

Zhou Yanan nodded.

This means that the overall progress is smooth, and the specific details have to wait until the confidential meeting room to report.

Luo Caiyun then went to ask the team leader what they were cheering for.

The team leader said: "The electromagnetic wave detector detected abnormal ionizing radiation, but it was very short-lived and slight, and the effective dose was even less than 1 microsievert. What does it mean specifically? Whether it is caused by an instrument failure requires further analysis and research."

"Okay." Luo Caiyun stroked her hand, "It's better to have a situation than to have no clue. Keep going."

Luo Caiyun was in a good mood, and stepped into the meeting room with a brisk walk. As soon as she sat down, she asked, "How is the R&D center?"

"Smoothly wiped out." Zhou Yan'an said, "The spy has also been punished, it is Fang Yeran."

Luo Caiyun shook her head sadly when she heard the words: "It's really him. Where's Cheng Sisi?"

"Safely rescued and sent to Liang Fei."

"That's good." Luo Caiyun was quite pleased, "You managed to save a child from disaster."

This simple sentence touched all the four 32-day participants present.The rescue of Cheng Sisi was the result of the cooperation of Zhou Yan'an, Yi Alan, Liu Jinyue and Meng Qi. In such a chaotic and helpless world, they were doing things that they were not so good at, but fortunately, they all Well done.

After Meng Qi and Liu Jinyue left, Yi Alan reported his work to everyone, mainly Chen Ruming, Minister of Information Security, which may involve top-secret content.

When Yi Alan mentioned that he found out that Fang Yeran had logged into the spy system and copied down the relevant data, Chen Ruming, who had been nodding frequently to express his satisfaction, suddenly changed his expression.

Sitting opposite Yi Alan, Chen Ruming leaned forward almost questioningly: "Did you transfer that part of the data with the hard disk?"

Yi Alan was startled, and said, "Yes."

Chen Ruming's tone became cold: "Do you still remember that you just came to the affairs team, how did I explain to you?"

Yi Alan said: "According to the plan, wherever the 32nd passes, the system content will be formatted and the storage hard disk will be destroyed. Unless otherwise instructed, no data or files will be taken away."

Chen Ruming raised his eyes and looked at him: "Did you do it?"

Yi Alan was dumbfounded, and explained: "Because we were in a hurry at the time, we still needed to pick up Cheng Sisi, and we didn't have time to sit there and study, so I..."

Chen Ruming shook his index finger: "No matter what the reason is, you shouldn't break the rules."

Yi Alan was silent for a few seconds before asking: "So even if you know it's a clue, should you ignore it?"

Chen Ruming said loudly, "Yes."

Chen Ruming saw that Yi Alan seemed a little aggrieved, and continued to point out: "Your fault is that you are too enthusiastic. Even if that piece of data is useful, does it have anything to do with your duties? That's a matter for the intelligence department. Yan Fei didn't even ask you to go Why do you bother to take responsibility for investigating the forces behind the spies? You just need to complete your mission, and don’t worry about the rest. Isn’t it easier? Yes, both Zhou Yan’an and Liu Jinyue saw that you used the hard drive to transfer the content, But they don't know what data you transferred? Is it the secret of the R&D center? If someone questions you, how do you prove your innocence?"

Yi Alan opened his mouth, speechless.

"Okay." Luo Caiyun broke the stiff atmosphere in the conference room, "Ah Lan also has good intentions, deputy team leader Chen shouldn't be so strict."

Chen Ruming moved his body back and leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded. "If Team Leader Luo has worked with me before, he will know my current attitude. When dealing with employees who make mistakes, they are already quite gentle."

Luo Caiyun smiled easily: "Okay, okay, I know you value Alan's ability." She stretched out her hand to comfort the back of Yi Alan's hand, "Deputy team leader Chen has been taking care of you, you have feelings, listen more There is no harm in listening to Deputy Team Leader Chen's words."

Yi Alan nodded stiffly.

Luo Caiyun said: "You and Xiao Zhou are also tired, go back and rest. This mission has been completed very well, I will give you two days off, but for the sake of safety, it is best not to leave the office. If you really want to go out and have fun, You can make a report so I can let Zheng Duo make arrangements."

After Yi Alan and Zhou Yan'an left, Luo Caiyun looked at Chen Ruming: "You scared him."

"I'm doing it for his own good. Doesn't he understand Guadatian Lixia?" Chen Ruming was a little annoyed, "He's still too young. He thought we wouldn't expect spies to use the network system to send messages? We didn't ask him to investigate this, just because we were afraid that there would be trouble in the future. Trouble. We are facing more serious problems on the 32nd than finding out who sent the spies to the R&D center!"

"I know what you mean." Luo Caiyun said, "But Yi Alan was just a nine-to-five corporate employee a few months ago. You can't make him understand some ruthless rules right away."

Chen Ruming sighed: "Because he was just an ordinary person, he should learn to be independent. For him, in the political world, doing more is more wrong."

The serious problem Chen Ruming is facing on the 32nd is not only the secrets that are currently being scrambled for, but also a more important crisis of trust.

This point was ruthlessly exposed at a United Nations video conference held in the following days.

It was the president of country A who first mentioned it. He scanned the many familiar faces on the screen and asked a question seriously: "I said, do you really trust the 32nd team you selected? Let them perform top-secret missions , can easily go deep into some places where even we have to go through due process, and spread all the secrets of human beings in front of their eyes for them to play and enjoy at will?"

Someone smiled: "What's the matter? What happened that made you distrust people in your own country?"

The president of country A didn't care about his eccentricity, and said: "For example, everyone has their own cronies, but ask yourself, do you really trust that person or that team? Maybe so, but more importantly, we all live in Under the same sky, what the person you trust does, no matter sooner or later, will always be exposed to your multiple observation methods. You may perceive his betrayal, and he is also afraid of being discovered by you, so he is more loyal , You also trust him more, this is a kind of trust with a bottom line."

He paused, and said seriously: "The group of people in the 32nd day is not the same sky as we saw. Is there anyone of you who is so powerful that you can put your eyes in the 32nd day? Don't think I In terms of scaremongering, I know what you think, and you must think that the organized 32nd executive team is carefully selected patriots, loyalists, and will not betray the country. But the question is, how does patriotism come from? What's going on? An identity, a group identity, a sense of belonging attached to the region and culture.

"I mean, if someone can develop a strong loyalty and love for a place just because he was born and lived in that place, wouldn't he also be able to easily transfer this loyalty and love to that place? On the 32nd, he loves that special 32nd, not just love our world. Over time, he will have a sense of belonging to the 32nd, love the 32nd who is in the same situation as him, and they will also be mutual Agreed. Just like many residents of our two cities who are at odds with each other, once they go abroad, they will be attached to each other. According to this logic, even if it is a hostile country, if it leaves our world... Can they cast aside their inherent prejudices? Becoming a new kind of incompatible group?

"Well, some people may say that you don't select the team of cronies on the 32nd with emotions such as loyalty and patriotism, but other things, such as power and interests, which are even more ridiculous and vulnerable. And Where is there more tempting, low-hanging fruit than on the 32nd? To be honest, I would rather believe that the patriots may have lasting loyalty. The profit-seekers are just a bunch of shit-eating flies."

Someone laughed and said, "Could it be that you mean that the group of 32-day protesters will unite to rebel?"

Unexpectedly, the president of country A nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's what I mean."

The other party was speechless for a while.

The president of country A laughed again: "The joint rebellion, maybe it won't happen so soon. What I mean is that in places we can never see, no one or any emotion is worthy of our unconditional trust."

The president of country D seemed to agree with the statement of the president of country A, and asked, "According to you, do we have any other solutions for the 32nd?"

The president of country A turned his head: "Why don't we supervise each other? I will let our 32nd person go to your country to see if the mission you sent is being carried out faithfully. You also come to see mine?"

The president of country B sneered mercilessly: "Do you think we are fools? My team on the 32nd was originally loyal and reliable, but your people lied to instigate discord that they did not complete the task. Isn't it following your way?"

"Look, this is the biggest problem on the 32nd." The president of country A spread his hands, "There is no supervision method at all, it all depends on each other's words, and trust is based on luck rather than the system."

This seemed to be an unsolvable problem, and they did not continue the discussion.

But it is conceivable that they all pondered the words of the president of country A in their hearts, and then had to admit that he was right.

These remarks may be the scheming of the president of country A, which made the upper-level governments of various countries feel more suspicious of the executive team on the 32nd while thinking about it.The more suspicious you are, the more restrained you are when assigning tasks, and you dare not reveal all the secrets in one go, and even set up more obstacles, which will affect the process of destroying secrets.

And if the secrets are left there and not cleared, they may be explored and stolen by other countries.Dilemma.

This is exactly the reason why Chen Ruming reprimanded Yi Alan.

On the 32nd, when there was no means of supervision and no means of self-certification, Yi Alan would never be able to prove to others what content he took away with the copy of the hard drive.

But on the night of November 11st, Yi Alan didn't think so much, he just felt unhappy.

In the emergency team on the 32nd, Yi Alan did have the most contact with Chen Ruming, and Chen Ruming showed great patience, friendliness and kindness when Yi Alan was learning programming languages ​​in the past. Often, Chen Ruming, who once served as the head of the information security department, took Yi Alan to major bases to connect with the other party's information security department and operating system department.

Chen Ruming is protecting Yi Alan, and likes Yi Alan's excellent learning ability.Yi Alan could feel all these things, and he was naturally the kindest to Chen Ruming, so after Chen Ruming severely criticized him, he felt a little disappointed.

If Yi Alan heard about the United Nations General Assembly to be held in a few days, he would definitely turn on a small light at this thought point: Look, he has already developed a "identity" and a "sense of belonging" to Chen Ruming.Sometimes this kind of emotion comes so quietly, and in turn exerts an influence on the subject.

And the most depressing thing is that Yi Alan didn't feel that she did something wrong.He was too naive, but he didn't realize that the saying "people's hearts are separated from the belly" is universal, and others can see it if he is not sincere.

Yi Alan and Zhou Yanan walked on the already familiar path, the 500-meter distance from the administrative building to the dormitory building, passing through the marble square outside the administrative building, the flat avenue with tree-lined streets, and the geese in the middle of the lawn. The soft stone path, and tried to resist the urge to step on the turf and take a shortcut.

When they came to the camphor tree avenue, the lush leaves gave people a sense of security.

Seeing Yi Alan's depression, Zhou Yan'an comforted him and said, "I should have reminded you."

Yi Alan let out an ah.

Zhou Yanan said: "But I didn't realize that it shouldn't be done. When we carried out missions before, if we had spare energy, we would usually pack up and take away everything that seemed useful, and it might bring unexpected surprises to other brother departments." , so I often receive banners of thanks from various organizations. What you have done has always been a good thing. But I forgot that the things in the 32nd day cannot be brought back, and there are no experts to check and count them. All in all, this is our common crime The next error."

"But you can't blame us, can you?" Zhou Yan'an said lightly, "I studied in the military academy system for two years and intensive training for half a year before accepting the mission for the first time. Even so, there are so many instructors and no one can do it. Tell me how to deal with the 32nd. What we have experienced is unprecedented, and there is no experience or textbook to refer to. It was good, but it turned bad when the 32nd was reversed. We are all still apprentices, and we can only slow down. Slowly groping and learning, making mistakes is inevitable, even strictly speaking, this is not a mistake, but a gap caused by the collision of empiricism and emergencies.”

Yi Alan couldn't help laughing: "Would it be irresponsible to think so?"

Zhou Yan'an said: "Of course not." He looked at Yi Alan very seriously and curiously: "Don't you think this kind of thinking is irresponsible?"

Yi Alan touched her chin and thought about it for a few seconds: "I don't think so either."

"Then there's no problem." Zhou Yan'an stretched out his palm to give Yi Alan a high-five, "A consensus has been reached."

Yi Alan raised his hand and made a loud givemefive.

Zhou Yanan said: "Learn experience, learn from each other, and make progress together."

"Make progress together." Yi Alan nodded and smiled.

Yi Alan knew that Zhou Yanan was comforting him, but he also knew that these were Zhou Yanan's true thoughts. The 32nd day is different from all the twists and turns in previous history, and no one can handle it freely.Chen Ruming may never understand how split it feels when traveling back and forth between two identical but vastly different worlds, he can clearly see it from the sidelines.

Yi Alan let out a sigh of relief in his chest. Fortunately, he was far more than the only one in charge. At least Zhou Yanan was with him to bear the unprecedented emotional impact brought by the 32nd, and learn to adapt to them, or look at it optimistically. they.

If Yi Alan has heard of the United Nations General Assembly to be held in a few days, he will also insert a label into this idea-"identification" and "belonging".
