The colonel and the middle-aged man raised their feet together, kicked open the last door, and the two broke into the server room.

It stands to reason that they shouldn't have been so reckless, Omega had warned them before disappearing that the server room had been invaded, and the uninvited guest who silently infiltrated the server room and forced the system to shut down the server was obviously not a good kind, it was likely to be some kind of high-level hunter, Maxwell Sean and Abraham Don just went in directly, it was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and they were probably delivering food to each other.

But the colonel and the middle-aged man had no time to take any measures, the two could only put their lives and deaths out of the way, they did not spare their lives, but time waited for no one, and there was still an hour, and everyone in the entire security zone had to die together.

If the two old guys were to trade their lives for the safety of all the survivors, they would still be happy.

It takes an hour for the kill switch to erase all data and shut down the server, and the colonel and middle-aged people must rescue the server within this hour, otherwise everything will be over, the AN1800B nuclear reactor will stop functioning, solidify into a big iron lump, and the survivors of the academy will return to the days of drilling wood for fire.

The colonel doesn't understand technology, he is just a military attaché, and at this time his responsibility is to protect the lives of middle-aged people. Sean held the crowbar in one hand and pulled out a short-barreled shotgun from his waist with the other, the chamber was filled with two large-caliber shotguns, and if something came at him later, he would shove the barrel into the mouth of the thing.

There was silence in the server room, except for the hum of cooling fans.

It didn't look out of the ordinary, the surrounding light was dim, the tall server cabinets were arranged in rows like bookshelves, and the faint blue indicator lights flashed in the dark, both of them were stunned for a moment, they thought that after opening the door, they would see a mess, if this intruder had forced the system to the point where they had to protect themselves, then the damage it caused must be amazing, even if they opened the door and saw a cloud of ruins and smoke, the two of them would not be surprised.

Sean held the shotgun, the muzzle pointed around, lowered his body, and looked around.

"Where is that intruder?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

The situation is very strange, and despite Omega's warning that the computer room has been invaded, they only find out when they get here...... There are no anomalies in the room.

But Omega doesn't report false alarms, she says that if someone invades, then there must be.

"This could be a software-savvy hunter." The middle-aged man whispered.

"Software-sensitive?" The colonel frowned, not understanding what this meant.

"This intruder attacks the princess at the data level." The middle-aged man explained that he quickly opened the console on the server, and the screen lit up with blue light, "but it was also strange...... It stands to reason that at the data level, no one in this world should be able to hack into the princess's system, and she is the most powerful hacker in the world. ”

"What do you mean...... There's a hunter who knows how to use a computer, and it's hacking our system? "The colonel's brain is not enough," and it still succeeded? ”

The middle-aged man nodded, "It's okay if you think so." ”

Dense codes and numbers flashed across the screen, and the middle-aged man's fingers danced on the keyboard, staring at the screen as beads of sweat the size of a bean ran down his forehead.

The Colonel stood behind him, looking around warily.

The intruder is probably still in the computer room, a place like the server room, and it's too easy to hide, and you don't know when it will pounce. At this time, only the middle-aged man could save the situation, and if necessary, the colonel would even have to use it as a meat shield to block bullets.

"How's it going?"

"Not good." The middle-aged man whispered, his eyes scanning the code on the screen, "The server is rapidly formatting, and at this rate, it will soon empty all the core data of the system." ”

"Can the cleared data be recovered?" The colonel asked.

"In principle, deleted data can be recovered as long as the storage space is not overwritten by new data." The middle-aged man nodded, "But we have to put the princess back in place, and only she can get the system back to work...... This must all be done before the server core data is emptied. ”

"How long do we have left?"

"I'm syncing!" The middle-aged man spoke extremely fast, and the keyboard crackled, "Syncing!" ”

The countdown at the bottom of the screen is flickering rapidly, finally staying at 37:44:12 and then counting backwards second by second.

"Thirty-seven minutes to go!"

Cold sweat soaked the middle-aged man's clothes, and he had to free the omega within thirty-seven minutes, or the entire safe zone would be finished. Abraham Don was one of the engineers who designed Omega back then, and no one in the academy knew the system better than him, and he was the only one who could have turned the tide.

"At the beginning of our design system, we built a safe that could fully contain and package the core data of the encrypted princess, and the job of the safety switch was to put the princess in the box and send it out in case of emergency." The middle-aged man is chattering while operating, which is his work habit, and he likes to describe the work he does at the same time when performing high-intensity tasks, which helps to clarify the logic of the brain.

"Now the princess has been put in a safe." The middle-aged man continued, "All we have to do is release her...... Let her out! Let her out! Let her out! Let her out! ”

The middle-aged man had a difficult time at work, and he stared at the screen while unconsciously repeating the words that came out of his mouth.

The colonel pressed his shoulder.

"The structure of this safe is very complicated, to be precise, it is a complete set of encryption programs, and if we want to free the princess, we must have the corresponding key and decompile it." "But I don't have the key, and the key was designed by the bastards who made the safe in the first place, which means we can't open the box in the normal way...... We can't open this box in the normal way......"

"If we brute-force it and smash it open, then it's a decoding problem...... It's a matter of decoding......" Abraham muttered to himself, his state a little crazy, his pupils dilated, and he gritted his teeth in a fierce tone, "It's a two-hundred-fifty-six-digit password, a two-fifty-six-digit password!" Brute force is impossible! Brute force is impossible! ”

The middle-aged man angrily slammed the keyboard.

"Calm down! Calm down! The Colonel roared.

The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at him, his pale face illuminated by the blue light emitted by the screen, "Old man, this is simply impossible...... We can't liberate the princess in thirty minutes. ”

"Thirty minutes isn't enough?" The colonel asked, "And how long will it take you?" ”

The middle-aged man thought slightly, "At our current speed, it will take one hundred and twenty years to unlock this box. ”

The old man slapped him and scolded angrily: "Wake up bastard! We only have thirty minutes now, not one hundred and twenty years! You have thirty minutes to rescue your beloved princess, and I have thirty minutes to rescue the survivors of the safe zone! You've got to get this thing done in thirty minutes...... You can do it! If you could do it twenty years ago, you can do it twenty years from now! You are the genius Abraham Don! ”

The middle-aged man was stunned.

The colonel was right...... He only had thirty minutes, and now he was not discussing any technical issues, but saving the lives of certain people.

Save Omega's life.

Save the lives of all survivors.

If he doesn't solve these problems within the allotted time, then everyone will die.

On the battlefield of saving lives, there is no room for failure!
