Thrive in Catastrophe

Xiao Yan's thoughts drifted aimlessly along with the waves of the sleeping Xiao Yan, and everything went back to a few days ago, when he was still carefree in Shire City.

The green grass exudes an elegant slight drunkenness, the breeze blows, and the grass leaves are tactful.

Xiao Yan's body was bent, and his black hair hung down his forehead, swaying with the blades of grass.He wears the uniform of the Ministry of Military Affairs, with the atom-wrapped emblem on his shoulder straps indicating his affiliation with the Central Academy of Sciences.

This is the central square, with numerous names engraved on towering monuments piercing into the sky.

The square is surrounded by maglev vehicles, and the LEDs in the shopping mall are constantly changing the advertising screen, just like a fleeting moment.

Someone was walking towards him quietly. It was a boy about fifteen or six years old, with blond curly hair, green pupils like gems, and sly corners of his lips, like a porcelain doll in a shop window. One cannot look away.

Xiao Yan was still lying on his side, with the corners of his lips slowly raised. He had already sensed the other party's approach quietly, but he had no intention of opening his eyes at all.

The young man threw himself on his body, and Xiao Yan pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes, "You scared me to death, Casey—you bad guy!"

"Aren't you happy that the bad guy came to you?"

Casey is obviously a small man, but he is still very strong. Xiao Yan's wrist was pressed on the top of his head by Casey, and he couldn't move. He sat on Xiao Yan's waist and leaned over, revealing his very beautiful neck.

To be honest, if any other man pressed Xiao Yan in such a posture, he would have already lost his hair.But Casey is an exception, Xiao Yan enjoys everything about him as a child, except of course when he loses his temper.

"You've become heavier again, have you grown taller?" Xiao Yan deliberately blew his breath on the tip of the opponent's nose.

"Can you comfort me? I didn't grow a centimeter in the whole of last year! Xiao Yan, you're slacking off here again! I've heard that you're a B in this month's end-of-month test! If you continue like this, you'll be There is no way to enter the core of the Central Academy of Sciences! You will never see the highest level of terminals! You can only be a second lieutenant for the rest of your life!"

Kathy tightened her wrists triumphantly, watching him contort in pain.

The main control system of the Central Academy of Sciences - a high-end system that operates the entire Shire and confidentiality research. The operator of this system is called a "connector" and enjoys a high status in Shire.It is also the goal for every student of the Central Academy of Sciences to squeeze their heads.

"I never thought about getting into the core of the Central Academy of Sciences. I wanted to get out."

Casey's shoulders froze, and his crescent-like eyes instantly became serious. Even his voice suddenly became cold, and Xiao Yan's wrist was clucked by him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Leaving Shire? Don't you know what kind of world is outside! Those zombies can easily tear you apart and stuff you into their stomachs!"

Xiao Yan sighed, raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and looked far away, "Cathy, do you know what is above our heads?"

"The sky." Casey pouted.

"I just want to see the real sky. Don't you wonder, Kathy? What does the air smell like outside? How does the wind feel in our faces? And..."

"There's no 'yet'. What do you think is the reason we technicians are trying to become A-class students in the academy? Just don't want to leave the Shire! Don't want to go outside! Did you know that a scientific research team left the Shire last month Going to the research base, their mainframe was invaded by the "Surge" organization, and the aircraft crashed. The special task forces who went to do the after-the-fact investigation came back with their bloody bones, and their bodies were identified through DNA testing! You want to be too Is that so? Do you want to feed the zombies? Do you think someone will remember who you are if your name is engraved on the monument!"

Casey's emotions became more and more agitated, and bloodshot eyes even appeared in her eyes.

You will remember who I am.Of course, he dared not say such words to Casey.

"Okay, okay! I'll get a B in the end-of-month test next month, okay?" Xiao Yan quickly comforted Casey, squinting his eyes, suddenly raised his chin, and kissed Casey's cheek resoundingly.

As Xiao Yan expected, Casey's hair was completely blown up.

"Xiao Yan! You are here again! Do you think I don't know that you are changing the subject! You don't care about the test at all! As long as you are serious, you will definitely have no problem getting an A! You just don't want to enter the Academy of Sciences, you just want to get out Xiao Yan, believe it or not, I locked you in the research room! I look at you personally every day!" Casey's soft short hair was hanging down, even with such an angry expression, in Xiao Yan's eyes, she was genuine and extremely cute, Not to mention the suspicious blush on his face, every time he kissed him jokingly, this guy always reacted the same way, but Xiao Yan never tired of it.

"Okay, I'll go to the library to study now, and you will be my supervisor with me, so there's no problem?" Xiao Yan hooked Casey's chin pretending to be frivolous.

Casey turned his head away in displeasure. He is a rare and beautiful young man. The female officers and researchers in the military department have countless admiration for him, but only Xiao Yan hooks up with him and teases him from time to time. I really enjoyed the way Kathy blushed and stared round her eyes.Of course, after a long time, Casey no longer took Xiao Yan's hands and feet seriously, although he didn't know that every time he forced Xiao Yan to pass the class A student test, Xiao Yan would always imagine Casey in his heart. Turned into a Barbie doll, and put on all kinds of cute clothes and wigs for him, and put on all kinds of cute...and seductive poses.

"Hmph! Only you dare to treat me like this!"

Casey grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist and forcefully pulled him out of the central square. Xiao Yan staggered and thought that Casey was a veritable "King Kong Barbie".

Away from the silent zone, Xiao Yan frowned at the sound of the maglev vehicle's engine whistling overhead, the repeated lines of commercial advertisements, the 360-degree fashion displayed in the window and the exquisite snacks, everything was comfortable and extravagant, as if The cruel world beyond the Shire does not exist at all.

This year is the 224th year of the Shire New Calendar. Human beings have left the paper age and entered the era of bioinformatics. As long as you connect your brain to the host computer in the library, all the information will naturally enter your mind, but as for how much you can understand And how much to remember, it is not up to the computer to decide.What Xiao Yan and Casey entered was the library of the Academy of Sciences, and the students studying and reading here were all students of the Academy of Sciences of the Military Department.

Out of tens of thousands of cutting-edge talents in various fields, in the end, less than a hundred were lucky enough to be connected, and Casey, who was sitting beside Xiao Yan and frowning, was one of them.

The moment Kathy walked into the library, he enjoyed everyone's attention.He is a rare genius in Shire in decades. He obtained a doctorate in biogenetics, mathematics and virology at the age of 16, and conducted virus research for the military.

"Look, that's Major Casey! Really young!"

"Nonsense, he's only 16 years old! I heard that he has put forward a leaping theory about the X-virus. The military department has already planned to promote him to lieutenant colonel and take charge of the research project alone!"

Casey's expression is flat, he is completely immune to these envy and praise, compared to virus research, what is more challenging for him is how to let Xiao Yan quickly advance from a student with a rating of B to A .

It's a pity that before Xiao Yan had time to enter the information database, the sound of the radio came.

"Attention all students! Attention all students! Please go to Conference Room 145 of the Military Headquarters!"

Everyone listened attentively, and when Xiao Yan's name appeared, Casey's expression completely changed.

"I'm sorry Casey, I can't seem to study hard today...I'm going to meeting room 145."

Casey grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist and lowered his voice, "Didn't you notice? None of the names that were named were Class A students!"

"So, I'm afraid I won't have time to wait until next month's assessment, and I'm going to be on duty."

Xiao Yan smiled, he knew that the road ahead of him was both broad and dangerous.

"What are these guys thinking that I don't know? They're treating Class B students as cannon fodder! I'm going to Lieutenant General Aiweier now..." Casey's voice trembled, but he was caught by Xiao Yan before he walked away. Grab it.

"Don't go, Casey. I promise to wait until the end of this mission, I will pass the test, and I will be at your command in the research room...but at least let me go out once, just once." Xiao Yan is firm, he knows The outside world is as cruel as it is free, but if you have never seen it, you will never know how to let go.If he really stays in a closed space all his life, his desire for the outside world will only increase day by day.He needs reality to destroy all his fantasies, and then be a researcher who keeps his own life.

"...You have to come back properly." Casey knew Xiao Yan too well, he could stop Xiao Yan once, but he couldn't stop him the second or third time.

"I can."

"Otherwise, no matter where you are, no matter what you become, I will rush out to find you no matter what."

This is Casey, the face of an angel, the stubbornness of a devil.

Shen Bing stood in front of the bed, frowning and looking at Xiao Yan who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

His brows are gentle, and there is a faint smile on the corner of his lips, as if his mind is not trapped, but immersed in an inextricable dream.

The secretary came to Shen Bing's side and coughed lightly.

"Colonel, all the data has been transmitted to Shire. Thanks to Xiao Yan's complete preservation of the 'Interrupter' information, we can learn why the Tide organization attacked the research aircraft one after another."

"You mean this rookie played a vital role, but I refused to save him?"

Shen Bing looked at the secretary with a sneer. Feeling the pressure in his boss's eyes, the other party swallowed slightly and took a half step back.

"...Colonel, I just remind you that Shire will receive an information report on this operation soon. The recent successive crashes have caused Shire to lose many research elites, and Xiao Yan will get theirs soon Pay attention to."

Shen Bing lowered his eyes slightly and sighed.

"If I sneak into anyone's mind again, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out unscathed."

At this moment, the communicator rang.

"Report to Colonel, Colonel Heine Burton and his team have arrived at my base!"

Shen Bing's shoulders trembled slightly, as if thinking of something, "I'm going to see him right away!"

In the simple and bright lounge, a cold and serious man is sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He is wiping a sharp blade. The sword body reflects the eyes like a bottomless abyss, and the end of the soft hair With his movements, he swayed slightly, causing inexplicable ripples in the air.His fingers are slender, with graceful knuckles, capturing all the light and shadow flowing between the half-drowned eyelids and the nasal bone.

Even so quiet, his figure gives people a sense of tension ready to go.

The door slid open to one side, and Shen Bing stepped in with a smile.

"Long time no see, Heine."

"Hmm." Heine didn't look up, but his subordinates looked at the colonel walking in with some surprise.

They knew that their boss always looked indifferent to everyone, and just saying "um" was enough to show that this person had a certain status in Heine's heart.

Shen Bing sat leaning against the armrest of Heine's sofa and pushed his elbow against his shoulder, "I know you are a little tired from the long flight, but... I have something very important to ask for your help."
