Chapter XI
She pressed a blue button on the side of the table, and immediately formed a light-blocking barrier in the space in front of the desk, so as not to affect the rest of her roommates when Chen Yan was reviewing at night.
Lily sighed with relief on the side: "If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have stayed up late today to make up for it." β
Chen Yan smiled good-naturedly, "Yes, I knew why I had to do it today." β
"Do you need me to help you with your tuition? At some point, Lily stood behind Chen Yan, and two soft and boneless hands were on her shoulders.
Chen Yan only felt that the hairs stood up collectively, and he had a dangerous intuition: "Thank you, but don't need to." β
The two fingers on her shoulders instantly tightened, and they rubbed twice on both sides of her neck, Chen Yan endured it with a bitter face, and only then did he raise his hand and rub it until Lily lay down to rest.
It's so rude, no wonder the people in her research team see her like a mouse meets a cat.
Lily, who was rejected, was about to rest, and turned her head sideways to see Chen Yan's shadow reflected on the shading barrier. She suddenly asked, "Is Colonel Lance interested in you?"
Chen Yan was calibrating the spiritual terminal, and when he heard this, he almost entered the turbulence, so he quickly retreated and whispered: "You can't talk nonsense! What are you thinking?"
Lily seemed to say to herself, "Oh, yes, how do I think he ...... you?"
"Shut up!" Chen Yan was rarely so fierce, and said angrily: "If this matter spreads, it will be a rumor made by you!"
Just thinking about it, she had to tremble three times. Colonel Lance is the talk of all the women of the Academy of Sciences, and a career as a special forces not only did not make him full of brute flesh, but also made him well-proportioned and powerful, and think of that perfect side face...... No matter to whom Colonel Reims expressed his affection, that person, male or female, would be killed countless times by the gaze of the colonel's admirers.
Well, she's just a small technical soldier, so it's better to do research with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan emphasized: "Don't talk nonsense! You know, especially to others. β
Lily seemed to scoff, snorted lazily, "Hmm", rolled over, and seemed to be asleep.
Putting the calibration terminal back on, Chen Yan let out a sigh of relief. Lily didn't seem to care about anything, but she liked to talk casually......
This "casual remark" must be strangled in the cradle. Monsters are terrible, but human words are even more terrifying!
The familiar rustle of bamboo leaves came, and Chen Yan closed his eyes and touched to turn off the alarm clock.
She hadn't studied the core of the project at all, but she was suddenly caught off guard by being "joined" into the Academy of Science, and now she had to make up for the content and procedures of the research project.
I slept late last night, and I have to wake up early again today. Lily on the other side didn't move, and she didn't even change the rate of breathing. Chen Yan set the alarm clock for himself a little proudly.
It's her handpicked ringtones β how natural, how pleasant...... The ringing doesn't wake up others β but it wakes you up. But no matter how elegant the sound is, once used as a wake-up bell, it becomes harsh.
There was once a student who was said to have used all the music: passionate, sad, symphonic, percussion, modern, classical, and when he listened to it individually, he thought it was very good, but it became invalid as an alarm clock.
Eventually, he whimsically found a monster's cry from the database, and the next day he finally got up early as he wishedβthe horrible sound scared the whole dorm host, and then they got up and woke the student from his sleep.
The innate fear of monsters has been written into our genes. No matter how much humans try to escape, thinking they are safe to escape underground and survive in secret, it does not affect their urgent need for safety in the slightest.
Even when he saw the monster in his sleep, he still woke up screaming.
In fact, human beings have not yet figured out all the secrets of the brain, such as how to eliminate fatigue and fear.
Chen Yan yawned and thought as he washed up.
At nine a.m. Earth time, she arrived at the lab on time. There were already a few people there who were wearing terminals and starting to work, Chen Yan didn't want to disturb them, and quietly walked to his seat to prepare to enter the database.
A voice sounded behind him: "Chen Yan, it seems that I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Chen Yan turned his head embarrassedly: "Ah, Yaen, I haven't seen you for a long time." I'm sorry, I ...... I had something going on before, but I've solved it now. β
The man with bright blond hair said gently, "It's okay, I don't blame you. I've been hitting a technical bottleneck lately, and there's been little progress in a while," he said, scratching his hair in annoyance.
Everyone else is working, and when you enter the database, you can't hear your surroundings. Jahn paused, then continued, "It's morning, but I'd like to ask if you have time in the evening? I'd like to discuss some technical issues with you at dinner. β
Chen Yan knew that Yaen took extra care of her, perhaps out of some kind of affection...... But she wasn't going to accept it, "Of course I would if I'm okay at nightβbut I'll make an appointment with Lily tonight." Is there a technical problem that you can't solve? I'm afraid I won't be able to help much. β
Yahn felt that this girl's eyes were always clear, and there was a pure innocence when she looked straight at you, compared to the bloodshot pupils of a group of researchers who were stuck in the terminal all day, as if they couldn't be in focus at all the time.
After making eye contact with her, Yan looked away a little embarrassed: "Then next time I have time, now- I'm going to work too, and time is tight." β
"Oh, okay. β
Put on the terminal and quickly calibrate and enter the database. Since this database is prepared for the project, the amount of data stored in it is corresponding, not very large.
Before the first access, Yahn also instructed a lot of precautions, and other people had experienced vertigo and weightlessness before, which made her quite nervous. But...... The terminal calibration into the data was done in one go, and there was no discomfort in her brain at all.
She took off the terminal and looked at Jahn's concerned eyes, embarrassed to say she was okay - she had to pretend to be tired. Yahn also praised her with a smile: "I felt like the world was spinning when I first accessed, I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly, I suggest you find a time to test the speed of brain access, maybe it's very high." β
But at that time, Chen Yan only felt that this was Yaen's words to comfort her, after all, this person was known for his gentle personality and never sarcastic anyone. Everyone knows that Chen Yan's qualifications are average, look at Lily in her dormitory, she is a figure of the academy - under the influence of such a powerful person, she has not been able to develop some of her advantages, and it seems that she is a very mediocre person.
Chen Yan himself didn't care about this, no matter how many times Lily heard her face, she turned a blind eye and heard it, which showed that she was very skilled in pretending to be deaf and dumb.
In the face of a huge and complex architecture, after last night's bad supplement, now she can see the data in the project.
Now that Major Iger has transferred her to the Academy of Science, it is only a matter of time before she begins an independent project, so it is better to start preparing now, so as not to panic and have any accidents. After learning a little about the data, Chen Yan was about to start working when a feeling of snooping came over his brain.
It's as if there's an outsider here, stealthily hiding himself, sinisterly peeping at others.
Chen Yan pretended to spread his mind as if nothing had happened, browsing the data, and secretly sensing it. The feeling of voyeurism came from time to time, but she couldn't determine the exact location, and every time her mind locked on the general position of the other party, the sense of fluctuation disappeared immediately.
If before, maybe she wouldn't have reported it, but would have doubted her feelings first. After all, there has never been a problem with the blocking layer of the Asher base in the past few years, and there has not been a single case of being infiltrated into the internal network by the enemy, so it is unlikely that a single brain-controlled intruder has slipped in at this moment.
But she happened to have experienced the previous invasion, and although the whole incident was kept secret by the military department, the others did not know that their enemies had unwittingly become stronger. Therefore, after repeated testing, Chen Yan determined that his feelings were accurate, and it was very likely that Yashu's internal network had been quietly invaded.
After thinking about it, in order to avoid startling the snake, Chen Yan still withdrew his thinking and contacted Yaen through the terminal.
"Jahn. β
"Chen Yan, are you in trouble?"
"Got in trouble, but not the project. Jahn, I think there's a voyeur here, but I can't be sure of the location. β
Jahn frowned, "But I didn't feel it, are you sure?"
"I'm sure there's a voyeur, Yahn," Chen Yan said anxiously. She couldn't tell Jahn about the previous invasion, and words alone would have been hard to convince him.
Chen Yan could only hope that Ya En would trust her: "I can feel that the intruders are lurking in our database, Ya Ang, no matter what, please let everyone exit first and make sure." Even if it's not, it won't lose much time. However, if it is really an intruder, it is extremely dangerous to remain in the system. β
There was a brief silence, and Yahn was probably trying to sense it too, with little success. He didn't dare to jump to conclusions and let the team quit halfway, which would cause the work in progress to be abandoned, and more importantly, it would cause unnecessary speculation, just as rumors would spread.
Chen Yan's brain was racing rapidly, and he was thinking about how to convince him, "Yaen......"
"Alright then, let's get out first, I agree with you," Jahn said, "Anyway, keep everyone safe......"
Before Chen Yan could express his joy, Yaen's message suddenly stopped.
