Senior Zhan’s strength is immeasurable.
He carried the poor students, who were carrying 30 kilograms of sandbags, and their movements were still steady and unhurried.
Yu Tang shared the responsibility with him for a while, then felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to sleep."
Zhan Chen was processing the experience exchange work for the mechanical bugs. Upon hearing this, he pulled over the blanket and wrapped the bug tightly from head to toe.
Yu Tang: “…”
Zhan Chen explained: "You have a weight on your back, you will feel more comfortable if you lean on me."
Zhan Chen typed on the keyboard with one hand, his eyes still on the screen: "Go to bed, be careful of sleep paralysis."
Yu Tang looked at him and threatened him seriously. He couldn't help but curl his lips and found the logic loophole of the person in charge of the mall: "I can go back to the mecha model and turn on the magnetic levitation device."
Zhan Chen: "The mecha was just moving the mechanical bug fragments together. It ran out of power and is being charged."
Yu Tang rolled up the tassels on the edge of the blanket and said casually, "I can use it while charging..."
Zhan Chen sighed softly.
Yu Tang accidentally pulled off a tassel.
Zhan Chen stopped working, temporarily pushed away the keyboard, and looked down at him: "Isn't it good to rest here?"
…
Yu Tang did not answer immediately.
He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and quickly gave an answer: "Okay."
"Okay." Yu Tang said, "But I just stripped off the particles, and now I am in a short period of energy shortage... The electron storm will absorb energy from the surrounding beings."
Yu Tang didn't intend to beat around the bush with Zhan Chen. He met Zhan Chen's gaze and said seriously, "Senior Zhan, you can't disappear again."
"Electronic Storm can no longer be an accomplice. It needs to be controlled by a self-aware master to ensure that it will not be used by ambitious people again."
Yu Tang: "If you disappear again, no matter how sad I am, I can't annihilate myself. I can only stay here alone and become as old as Captain Zhuang."
"I can't wait for you. I will go back to the eye of the storm and sleep. I won't even look at the flyers flying on my face."
"I will forget your name and only remember the last few characters, and remember you as Zhan Shilin."
Yu Tang said: "And if you use any method to reply, I will-"
Zhan Chen: "He would keep all these things in his pocket and recount them to me from beginning to end in one breath, and then ask me to take responsibility."
Yu Tang pursed his lips.
"I'll take responsibility, Xiao Guangtuan." Zhan Chen said, "And... you actually made a mistake."
Yu Tang was slightly startled: "What's the matter?"
Zhan Chen: "I have never disappeared."
Yu Tang opened his eyes wide.
Zhan Chen said: "The reason why I was not completely wiped out and can still come back to find you is because I left a set of my basic data in the eye of your storm."
Yu Tang was silent for two seconds, then quickly pulled the computer over to decode it, but Zhan Chen gently pressed his arm and said, "It doesn't have to be so complicated."
He looked into the depths of Yu Tang’s sea of consciousness.
Deep in the sea of consciousness, in a light and floating sea of light, rays of light suddenly began to blend and converge, flowing and changing brilliantly.
The majestic and mysterious light was reflected in Yu Tang's eyes.
In the pitch-black dome, fireworks exploded just for him to see.
…
"Fortunately, you absorbed a lot of my particles back then." Zhan Chen said.
"After merging with a group of programs, it still tried to completely devour my consciousness, but it still couldn't find my basic code."
Zhan Chen said: "If it fails to deduce, I will send the basic program into the eye of the electronic storm."
If a being that has been swallowed by an electron storm once is swallowed again, it will be completely assimilated by the electron pulse and become part of the storm while retaining its self-awareness.
What the intelligent program failed to deduce is that someone would voluntarily be assimilated by the eye of the storm.
- Just as an intelligent program tried to analyze his brain and search his memory for the electronic storm's weaknesses and fatal points, it was unable to deduce that he would cut off all his escape routes and simply choose to fight to the death.
"Time does not flow in the eye of the storm. No matter how it tries to strangle me, it will be ineffective."
Zhan Chen: "I was in a stalemate for quite some time."
Yu Tang asked: "And then?"
Zhan Chen looked down at him and smiled: "And then I won."
…
Yu Tang did not ask any further questions.
He saw how Shi Ji resisted the program, and he could guess what the content was that Zhan Chen simply mentioned in one sentence.
"So, you don't have to worry about what effect absorbing my particles will have on me."
Zhan Chen: "Just remember not to stuff too many cakes into the eye of the storm at once."
Yu Tang: “…”
"My consciousness left here with you is also incomplete. I can only feel some reflections and hear a little of your voice when you open the electronic storm shield."
Zhan Chen cleared his throat: "It feels... quite complicated."
Zhan Chen: "Part of my consciousness is bound to your eye of the storm. It's fine to store and access things normally. I put ninety-six small cakes in at a time—"
Yu Tang's ears turned red all the way to his collar: "... I won't let go!"
Zhan Chen stopped and looked up, a smile flashing in his eyes.
He touched Yu Tang's head and asked, "Can you fall asleep now?"
Yu Tang pulled the blanket over his head, buried his head in his neck fiercely, and grabbed his shirt.
Zhan Chen folded his arms.
Yu Tang was using the data he had compiled himself, and he snuggled warmly against Zhan Chen's chest. He originally wanted to hold on and make more plans, but he didn't hold on for long before he was dragged into a deep sleep due to fatigue.
Zhan Chen waited until Yu Tang's breathing became slow and steady before he slowed down his movements and pulled her back.
Through the clothes, I could hear an extremely subtle and steady heartbeat.
The sound of real life.
…
Zhan Chen saved the experience into Shi Ji's account. He opened the staff's backend and looked at a whole page of mall operation inquiry information marked in red.
This exchange did not violate any regulations of the bureau or the mall. As long as it did not violate the rules, even the headquarters terminal would not be able to do anything to him.
Zhan Chen cleaned up the backend and added the terminal to the blacklist.
Yu Tang would not rashly drag Shi Ji to exchange mechanical insects. Since he chose to do so, he must have a special plan.
Zhan Chen will not let anything interfere with Yu Tang's plan.
The rules of this world are wrong.
Electronic Storm is going to rewrite the rules, and nothing can stop it.
When Yu Tang woke up again, he felt somewhat relaxed.
Shi Ji returned to his sea of consciousness for a rare moment, and trotted over to report, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Tang jumped down from Zhan Chen's arms, stretched his arms and legs, and did a simple version of radio exercises: "Have you unloaded the weight?"
Shi Ji nodded: "Now it's time to rest."
According to the new instructions sent by the exercise headquarters, they still need to resist the final attack of the mechanical insects.
As long as they can hold the existing defense line, all participants can be given a place as an exception and allowed to undergo this session of the devilish extreme closed special training together with the special forces.
This has been a tradition of the Alliance’s special forces in the past.
The cruelty of the training environment, conditions and intensity is beyond imagination. It lasts for one month, with twenty hours of high-intensity training completed every day, and there is only one opportunity to replenish supplies during the period. The cruelty of the training courses will be close to the limit of human beings.
“There will be many training programs.”
Shi Ji introduced to Yu Tang: "I woke up at 4 a.m., and the alarm was a gas explosion. When I went out, I was sprayed with ice water by a high-pressure water gun."
"The basic load for extreme cross-country is 50 kilograms, and other events will be interspersed, such as electric shock training and gas training. We are only given one meal a day."
Shi Ji: "Those who finish last will not get any food. If you can't hold on, you can quit the training at any time."
Yu Tang: “…”
Yu Tang wanted to finish this book right now: "Are you going to participate in the devil training?"
Shi Ji was a little shy, and pursed his lips: "I won't go. I have participated in it before and won the first place in the last session."
Yu Tangchang breathed a sigh of relief.
… He always suspected that little S7 had learned bad things from Senior Zhan.
Yu Tang had no evidence, so he pressed his chest to calm himself down and asked, "Did Captain Zhuang also participate?"
Shi Ji nodded: "Everyone in the group has participated."
When Zhuang Yu was still there, one could only officially join the special operations team if he or she persisted in the devilish special training for more than 15 days.
Only those who have completed a month of devilish training and ranked in the top three will be eligible to join the spearhead group.
"Coach Sui met his love during the special training."
Shi Ji said: "The captain told me that in his last session, he was the second place and Deputy Captain Nie was the first. In the final sprint, Deputy Captain Nie tripped him."
… Before the incident with the spearhead team, this was a reserved item for the special operations team to select talents.
After Zhuang Yu withdrew from the special operations team, some core members disappeared or retired, and many retreated to second-line and civilian departments. Special training was also suspended.
Joining the special operations team has become a springboard for many people to earn military merit and be promoted. With the opening of special recruitment channels, selection and training are no longer as strict as before.
During the daytime training, Shi Ji had a general understanding of the current situation of the special forces: "Their combat power is currently in serious decline. Not to mention the large-scale attacking insect swarms, even with the remaining mechanical insects, they may not be able to deal with them independently..."
Yu Tang said: "But the headquarters has issued a new order, forbidding you to help anymore?"
Shi Jiyou slightly widened his eyes in surprise: "Yes."
Yu Tang already understood Zhuang Yu's meaning. He raised his head and flexed his wrist.
The last time he led the team to resist the insect tide, Shi Ji left no room for maneuver and fully demonstrated his strength.
Under the real-time monitoring and broadcast of the exercise headquarters, Shi Ji's performance was amazing. Not only did it make many people drop their jaws, it also woke up more people who were sleeping or pretending to sleep.
The remaining mechanical insect swarms are not enough to fully exert their power, but for the remaining creatures, it is still a suitable extreme test.
Yu Tang took the tactical screen handed over by Shi Ji and looked at the news released by the headquarters.
Zhuang Yu's request was to only allow Shi Ji to stay at the rear and not allow him to participate in the next battle with the mechanical insects.
Zhuang Yu was waiting for him at the headquarters.
As soon as the exercise was over, Shi Ji packed up his things and took his wingman and the Dolphin back to the special forces to report.
Yu Tang: "In that case, let's switch shifts before you finish your exercise."
Shi Ji was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Yu is going out?"
Yu Tang raised his head and said, "Has the big-headed mechanical insect king I ordered been brought back to me?"
"I brought it back with me." Shi Ji said, "It's in an abandoned factory, but I destroyed most of its structure..."
Yu Tang: "It doesn't matter, as long as the head is still there."
Shi Ji didn't understand what was going on, but still didn't ask any more questions. He just obeyed the order and said yes.
"You cherish the Dolphin too much to let it go and you dare not think about it."
Yu Tang said, "Senior Zhan and I will show you a demonstration. This is not how you use this mecha."
Zhan Chen had just made preparations for the handover, and was speechless when he heard this. He whispered to Yu Tang: "Is it inappropriate in this situation..."
Yu Tang shook his head: "There are too many eyes on Shi Ji at headquarters."
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what he meant and nodded.
We must secretly act against Shi Ji and eliminate this young top commander who is in a rapid growth period. This is the best and last chance.
Zhuang Yu and Shi Ji didn't know how to deal with the darkness, greed, and despicable means within this self-protective galaxy.
And he should never have to deal with it.
These creatures are the protectors of the galaxy, and they are the Great Wall of Steel that will stand in front of the Zerg swarm even at the cost of their lives when it attacks.
If he lets Shi Ji release his suppression and show his real strength, he will definitely attract people who want to deal with Shi Ji.
When Sheng Tiancheng's conspiracy began, the outstanding observer and the unknown commander who had been trying so hard to eliminate his control unexpectedly broke through the numerous blockades and shone again.
The one who painstakingly designed the entire conspiracy would not be willing to watch such a thing happen.
"Clear this threat for him first."
Yu Tang confidently pulled Zhan Chen into the conversation and said, "I am responsible for what I chose."
Zhan Chen had a smile in his eyes. Without saying much, he cooperated with the host to open the transmission channel.
"Look carefully."
Yu Tang looked back at Shi Ji and said, "I have to take the exam later."
Shi Ji suddenly became nervous.
He took out a pen and a notebook from somewhere, sat on the small stool in front of the screen, and opened a page to take notes.
Yu Tang couldn't help laughing, exchanged glances with Zhan Chen, and nodded inconspicuously to confirm the data switch.
…
Abandoned factory.
In the shelter at the back, Yu Tang used Shi Ji's fingers to open his eyes and prop up his body.
Sui Qi and Wu Ming organized the team, established a defense line with the factory as the base, combined the existing mecha operators and observers, and arranged a complete mecha-wingman combat system.
He did not have Shi Ji's ability to control wingmen and lead the insect swarm, so he took a steady and cautious approach and adopted a traditional defensive mode.
Outside the line of defense was a black and overwhelming swarm of insects.
