March 1, 2019, sunny.
Qin Li's mood, the drizzle turned into heavy rain.
"It's just a make-up exam, don't look so sad," Yan Yongfeng comforted him, "We have so little class time, it's inevitable that some students will fail. Minister Yu has already communicated with the school, and as long as you pass the make-up exam, your original score will be erased, and there will be no record of failure in your file."
Qin Li glared at him fiercely, with jealousy burning in his eyes.
Shortly after New Year's Day 2019, everyone welcomed the final exam of the first semester. Several people had not attended classes for half a year, and the teachers of various subjects were not very happy. Fortunately, the National Technical Safety Bureau used the special mission as an excuse to let the teachers record their usual grades, so as long as they did not fail the final exam, they would pass.
"Kongkong" was very well behaved this time and did not cause any trouble during the exam week, giving everyone some time to breathe.
Everyone helped each other and reviewed intensively before the exam, and finally learned most of the subjects. However, they found out the day before the exam that the Ideological and Political Theory course, which they did not take seriously at all, was changed from open-book to closed-book this year!
Qiu Qizhen didn't sleep the whole night and wrote down all the key points. He finally scored over 90 points the next day. Cui Heyu never got into the "empty hole" and the exam was nothing to him. Yan Yongfeng relied on his outstanding ability to change the closed-book exam into an open-book exam. Only Qin Li, who studied hard to memorize the questions and stayed up until his eyes turned red, still failed the Ideological and Political Theory exam.
"That's right, what are you afraid of? You only failed one subject," Cui Heyu walked over leisurely and pointed at Tan Yan, saying, "He only passed the Ideological and Political Theory subject over there, and failed the rest."
Tan Yan: “…”
Ideological and Political Theory was the focus of his review, and it was a memorization subject, so as long as he worked hard, he would not fail. But other subjects…
Oh, let’s not talk about it.
"It's even worse," Cui Heyu ran to Tan Yan and said with a gloating look on his face, "Liang Xian didn't take any exams. All his subjects were in the red. If he doesn't come back in July this year, he will be demoted and repeat the first grade next year."
Cui Heyu was overjoyed at the thought that Liang Xian might become his junior in the future.
Tan Yan was not angry either. Cui Heyu was just a kid who liked to quarrel with Liang Xian.
"He will be back soon." Tan Yan replied calmly.
The last time he went to see Liang Xian, Liang Xian had killed another level five zombie in the zombie world by his own strength. His strength was getting stronger and stronger, but there was no sign of turning into a zombie. Instead, his mind became more and more clear.
Liang Xian is also more confident about defeating evil consciousness.
Of course, Tan Yan also told him that he had failed all his subjects, but Liang Xian was not worried. Since the make-up exam results could be included in the file as the official exam results, he would be able to pass the exam as long as he came back.
Instead, he was more worried about Tan Yan.
The organization would certainly not let Tan Yan leave the interest group, but they might demote him! Tan Yan was such a strong person that he would definitely not be able to bear the blow of being demoted. Liang Xian was in a hurry to return to the real world to give Tan Yan extra lessons.
Seeing his anxious look, Tan Yan did not tell Liang Xian that Qiao Zhixue promised him that he would get 60% special bonus points in the make-up exam, which means that even if he got zero points, he would not fail.
If his concern could help Liang Xian come back earlier, Tan Yan would be very happy to see it happen.
Speaking of which, he has been hiding a lot of things from Liang Xian recently. He hopes that he won't be angry when he returns to the real world.
Tan Yan smiled secretly.
There were few students taking the make-up exam, so the exam was scheduled to be completed on the 1st. The students of the Central Military Academy were already excellent, and at most two people took make-up exams for a course, and there was basically no make-up exam for the special class in recent years. Tan Yan lowered the average score of the entire class by himself, which was also very strong.
After a day of exams, the dizzy Tan Yan and frustrated Qin Li were taken back to the base by a special car. They heard that Tu Zishi had foreseen a new "void", so they had to go back and prepare.
Who knew that after returning to the base, I heard Ah San say: "On the evening of March 8th at 19:23, Shijiazhuang xx steam room, women's bath? Isn't this place a bit... "
Hearing Ah San's words from afar, Tan Yan stiffened slightly.
Tu Zishi said awkwardly: "This... I can't do anything about it... 'Kong Kong' doesn't listen to me..."
"I think your focus should be on the fact that the 'void' has shifted to Shijiazhuang," Qiao Zhixue said seriously, "so don't study what Tu Zishi had 'seen'."
After he said this, Tu Zishi's face turned even redder.
He predicted that the "void" would mainly manifest itself in the form of dreams during sleep. This time, he did dream of some... rather beautiful scenery. After waking up, Tu Zishi told him the time and place, and he ran into the bathroom to take a cold shower. When he came out, he was still mumbling in the air. Listening carefully, he was reciting the core socialist values over and over again.
"Fortunately, we knew about it a week in advance. If we knew about it an hour before the 'void' appeared like in the past, the people in the women's bathhouse would have suffered." Cui Heyu shook his head and said, "Now there is so much time, we can just close the business on March 8th. This is still easy to do."
"Has it developed to Shijiazhuang?" Tan Yan frowned as he walked in.
The "holes" have been appearing in City B and its surrounding areas for some time. Now they have suddenly occurred in Shijiazhuang, which is really worrying.
The speed of spread in the previous forty years was not as fast as this year.
"It's only a matter of time. We should have been prepared." Qiao Zhixue was very calm. "From New Year's Day to now, including this time, there have been 'seven' holes in two months, and Tu Zishi has only seen three. So within a week, we still have to be prepared for 'holes' to appear in other locations. We can't just focus on this one time."
"Fortunately, the few times he didn't see us were in the suburbs and on the highway, and we didn't run into anyone at all, otherwise it would have been a big deal." Ah San thankfully said.
"It should be said that it is precisely because there is no one near the 'hole' that Tu Zishi can't see it." It was Tan Yan who spoke this time.
"Did Liang Xian tell you?" Qiao Zhixue asked.
"Well," Tan Yan explained for Liang Xian without any greed, "Liang Xian said that what Tu Zishi cares most about is not the appearance of the 'void', but he doesn't want any more incidents involving ordinary people to happen, so his ability is more directed towards people rather than things."
"That makes sense," Qiao Zhixue wrote down the statement. "You shouldn't have turned off the camera. I really need Liang Xian's analysis in another world. Although your notes are very complete, I still want to receive first-hand information."
Tan Yan turned on the camera only during the first space smuggling. As a result, the whole process of the two kissing Liang Xian and acting coquettishly was recorded and brought to the research group. Minister Qiao Zhixue Yu and a group of old professors analyzed what Liang Xian said from the video, and Minister Yu was so angry that he almost hung up the oxygen tank on the spot.
Then Cui Heyu secretly got the video from Qiao Zhixue's computer, brought it back to the special power team, and everyone laughed at the video together. Even Aunt Yang patted Tan Yan's shoulder embarrassedly.
When being laughed at, Tan Yan did not respond, gossip, or express emotions, and he did not seem to be angry at all. But the next time he went to visit Liang Xian, Qiao Zhixue found that the camera had a black screen. When Tan Yan did not want to be filmed, he turned off the camera directly, and turned it on again when he returned to the real world, so as not to let everyone see it.
When Qiao Zhixue asked him what was going on, Tan Yan said that everyone had seen this world many times and there was nothing to study. He had taken notes of some useful analyses that Liang Xian had made, and Professor Qiao could take a look at the notes.
Now everyone knows that honest people can also get angry.
Qiao Zhixue thought that Tan Yan’s mental state was not good and that he was not cooperating with the organization’s actions, so he went to find Minister Yu and asked him to do ideological work on the team members.
Minister Yu endured the heartache and went to talk to Tan Yan, but he didn't expect to get such an answer from Tan Yan.
"Minister, I know that all social relationships of the Superpower Team should be reported to the organization, and I have no intention of hiding it. According to the Confidentiality Law, only when the lover is suspected of endangering national security or leaking state secrets, it is necessary to monitor the relationship between the confidential personnel and their lover to prevent him from accidentally leaking state secrets. But Liang Xian is not within this scope. He is also a national soldier. I think the organization has no right to monitor our relationship. This is personal privacy."
Minister Yu: “…”
He took out a quick-acting heart pill and pressed it under his tongue, then slowly said, "You memorized the legal provisions well."
"Before, police officers could not enforce the law if they did not understand the law," Tan Yan said modestly.
He has said so much, what else can Minister Yu do to help? With Tan Yan's age and experience, if he encounters something, Minister Yu may have to ask Tan Yan for help.
Moreover, Minister Yu has not yet gotten over the issue of Liang Xian and Tan Yan being in love. Every time he sees Tan Yan, his first reaction is to check if he has quick-acting heart pills in his pocket. He is the one who needs psychological counseling!
After Tan Yansheng left, Minister Yu asked Xu Mingyu to help him contact a famous psychologist in the country, hoping that the other party could help him overcome this difficulty.
So the matter was left unresolved, and Qiao Zhixue had no choice but to look at his notes with a frown every time he came back.
Cui Heyu was punished again. Minister Yu made them stand upside down in the school playground for an hour in just their underwear, so that they could experience the feeling of having their privacy watched by others.
After that, Cui Heyu became well-behaved and never dared to joke about the affairs of Tan Yan and Liang Xian again.
"Let's get back to the point," Qiao Zhixue said after complaining about the camera, "Next time, you can't go to Liang Xian for 'Empty'."
"Why?" Tan Yan asked, "Maybe Liang Xian can come back this time."
"There are exchange students joining us." Qiao Zhixue said.
"Let me explain this matter," Xu Mingyu knew that Qiao Zhixue was not good at this, so he stepped forward and said, "Minister Yu has been in contact with some developed countries, hoping to help other countries train superpowers in exchange for their advanced technology.
This matter has been progressing slowly until the "void" half a month ago. Our side happened in a no-man's land, while another relevant "void" appeared in New York, at a large commercial exhibition. "
"I know about this," Cui Heyu said as he took out his computer. "The 'void' lasted for a full twenty hours. Five hours were spent by Old Tan looking for Liang Xian, and the remaining fifteen were the time it took us to go back and forth. Since there were so many people present at the time, and they were all celebrities, this matter could not be covered up at all. There was also a Forbes top 100 billionaire who was directly sucked into the 'void' and never came back."
Xu Mingyu said: "Yes, other countries were very lucky in the past. Every time the location of the 'hole' was in no-man's land, the government immediately controlled public opinion, just like Ping County forty years ago. But this time there is no way to cover it up. The capitalists have sensed the potential crisis and they strongly demanded that the government solve the problem of the 'hole' as soon as possible. After all, no one wants their company to be swallowed up by the 'hole' one day.
The pressure from capital finally made several developed countries extend an olive branch to our country. After ten days and ten nights of unremitting efforts by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we were able to attract three exchange students.
They requested to film the entire process of the 'hole' from its appearance to its disappearance. Only by confirming the danger behind the 'hole' can they force all countries to unite. "
"Film the process of the 'void' appearing?" Cui Heyu was very sensitive and immediately captured the key information. "Can you tell people abroad that we can predict the 'void'?"
"Of course we didn't mention Tu Zishi," Minister Yu also walked in. "How could we possibly tell the other party our own trump card? We just revealed a little bit of information, saying that our country has a method to predict the 'hole'. After all, we have been affected by the disaster for 41 years, so it's not surprising that we have some methods."
"I see." Cui Heyu agreed with the answer.
Minister Yu looked at Tan Yan and said, "Since we need to shoot from before the 'void' appears, you can't meet Liang Xian. We can't let them know that there is a person in our country who can transmit information with consciousness in another world. This is a kind of protection for Liang Xian."
"Understood." Although he was reluctant, Tan Yan would still obey the order.
"Don't worry, Liang Xian is extremely important to us right now. Whether it's the transfer of consciousness, the speculation about zombies, or how strong he will be after absorbing countless crystal cores, all this information requires him to come back to confirm. He must come back." Although Qiao Zhixue's words were only explaining the importance of Liang Xian, they were a comfort to Tan Yan.
The organization will not give up Liang Xian, not because he is Tan Yan's lover or Minister Yu's son, but because of Liang Xian's own strength, the country cannot afford to lose this outstanding talent.
He grew up and became so strong that it was impossible to give up on him.
Tan Yan smiled with relief.
After receiving counseling from a psychologist for some time, Minister Yu is now able to face this smile calmly instead of reaching for medicine.
"Regarding this operation, I hope everyone can pay attention to a few points," Minister Yu continued, "First, when conditions permit, we must show weakness."
"Showing weakness?" The Ability Team was very confused. Shouldn't they show how strong their country is at this time, and then force other countries to use their technology and beg them for help
Seeing that no one understood, Minister Yu changed his words: "Tan Yan should not take action if he can. You have seen the growth of the superpower team in recent days. They have become stronger. Even if they face the Shumen resonance world again, they will not be helpless. In this case, shouldn't we hide our biggest trump card?"
"That's true." The members of the superpower team agreed with this statement. They only showed their average strength, and the one that raised the average should be hidden for now. After all, it would be bad if the humanoid arsenal was known to people from other countries.
"Second, Tu Zishi cannot enter the 'Void' again this time. We have to conceal your ability. Do you understand?"
Tu Zishi agreed that his ability to predict the future was actually a great help in the other world, but his own strength was actually average. When faced with a disaster beyond human power, he was also protected like Aunt Yang. So his absence actually had little impact on the superpower team.
"Third, let them experience firsthand how dangerous the world after the Hollow is."
When Minister Yu mentioned the third point, his tone turned cold.
Qiu Qizheng raised his hand and asked, "Does that mean that one or two people can die or be seriously injured beyond recovery?"
"No one should die unless it is necessary," said Minister Yu. "After all, those who return alive are evidence, but some people will be injured."
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Minister Yu continued, "I understand that everyone becomes stronger to protect others, and it would be very uncomfortable to suddenly accept such a mission. But politics is like this. If we don't use some means, we can't make them understand that this is a global disaster. The entire race is suffering from a catastrophe. Countries have been scheming against each other for many years. It is difficult for humans to unite without suffering pain."
The author has something to say: Don’t be impatient, the baby will appear in this copy.
The mountain man has his own ingenious plan~
Anyway, science can solve all problems.
Tomorrow, I think I should be able to see you all at 2pm. I feel like I've recovered a lot today. I feel relaxed now that the fever has subsided. Coughing and the like are just small things~~~
During this period, especially when I had a cold, Qing received a lot of overlord tickets from you, including a deep-water torpedo. Thank you very much!
The Qings who lost the bully tickets know it in their hearts. The reason why I haven’t sent a thank you is that many app readers don’t like the long thank you list for the bully tickets, which affects the reading experience. So Qing will thank them all at the end of the article~ Qings know it in their hearts! !
Love you guys~~~(づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭❤~
