Thrive in Catastrophe

"I'm just 'interrogating' you, not brain torture. I also know why you resist other people entering your brain, but I also have my duty. Even if there is a devil in your brain, I must also It talks."

"Even if you are killed by it." Heine's tone remained flat.

"Yes, even if it kills you."

"Then try to come in and take a look." Heine nodded her temple.

Hiti shook her head and smiled helplessly, "No one can enter the troposphere of your brain, even if you are deeply hypnotized, your brain still maintains an extremely high level of alert."

"Since you can't enter my brain, you can't 'interrogate'. It doesn't make any sense whether I come or not."

"So we communicate in the most primitive way, Colonel Burton. One question and one answer. If I ask a question you don't want to answer, you can keep silent."

"I won't necessarily tell you the real answer."

"You will, because you don't bother to lie." Major General Hitty gently massaged her forehead with her fingertips, and there was a deep meaning in her eyes, "The first question, do you agree with Major General Gordon who sent you and Jane Wallis to execute mission is questioned.”

"No."

Hiti looked into Heine's eyes and carefully observed Heine's expression, "Between comrades and the mission, do you choose the safety of your comrades or complete the mission at all costs?"

"There is no mission to the extent that I will do whatever it takes."

This sentence is conceited for other special forces, but there is no room for refutation when it comes from Heine Burton's mouth.

"To this day, you are still fearless?" Hiti took a breath, but just when he thought Heine's answer would be the same as before, the other party remained silent and did not speak.

There was no expression on this man's face, but Hiti had a strong premonition.

"Colonel, tell me the answer."

"Your Excellency, you said that I can remain silent."

"No one can get inside your head, so what you don't want to say, will always be a secret. But are you sure you know how to deal with your fear?"

He Yin looked at Major General Hiti, and when the silence lasted for more than an hour, which made Hiti feel tired, the man in front of him finally spoke.

"I thought I was going to die when I saw him lying in a pool of blood barely breathing and his heart was beating."

Hiti blinked, "Him?"

"From that day on, if he wasn't in a place where I could see him, I would be terrified."

Hiti frowned. He knew that what he heard was nothing to ordinary people, but what Heine Burton said completely overturned Hiti's understanding of this man.He can use such an extremely calm tone to say the most important and even secret things deep in his heart.

"Colonel, do you clearly understand the reason for your fear?"

"I'm terrified of losing him."

If other people were in front of Hiti, they might feel embarrassed or even silent about this question, but Heine Burton gave the answer straightforwardly.

"Colonel, no one is born strong. This kind of fear will become your weakness. But when a person goes all out to protect something without hesitation, he will be stronger than ever before."

Hiti followed Heine's movement of standing up and looked up. The man came to the door with steady steps and stopped.

"I think our conversation is over, Major General. You asked me questions and I gave you answers."

"Yes, thank you very much for your cooperation."

When Hein left the office, Hiti dragged Hein's military file from the holographic screen, hesitated for a long time before the evaluation column, and finally checked "Qualified", and the file was closed.

The physical fitness test of the researchers was over, and the result was as Xiao Yan expected. He passed and was about to enter the stage of combat training. Among this group of researchers, only Xiao Yan and two other researchers passed the physical fitness test, and the others included Casey. The training time has been extended.

Although Casey repeatedly stated that he "lived like a year" and submitted a report to his superiors to terminate the training, it was unexpectedly not approved.The Central Academy of Sciences has made up its mind to improve the combat capabilities of researchers, and it is impossible to give privileges to anyone.

Major General Gordon gave Xiao Yan and the others a day off as a reward.It was the day they would be allowed to leave the dreary building and relax outside under the protection of the special task forces assigned commissioner.Although the "outside" is still not the real outside for Xiao Yan, and he is surrounded by special forces, so he can't feel at ease no matter what.

Sleeping until noon, Xiao Yan slowly got up, put on his usual casual shirt and jeans, these three months of training had made him a lot stronger, both his standing posture and his walking pace had faded from his usual laziness A bit sassy.

Walking out of the room, I saw Mark, a big guy, winking at Xiao Yan, "Thanks to you, I can go around the headquarters now!"

"Mark! It's you!" Xiao Yan happily hooked his shoulders with Mark's.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Hey, if I remember correctly, the baseball game between Mars Alliance and Blade Knight will start at [-] o'clock this afternoon, let's go together..."

"Don't even think about the live game, there are too many people, it's not convenient for me to protect you."

"Then I have to settle for the next best thing, go to a Bermuda bar to watch the live broadcast and drink beer! How about this?"

"Well, on behalf of Major General Gordon, I will approve this resolution."

Mark's serious look amused Xiao Yan.

The Bermuda Bar is famous in the Shire precisely because of its holographic display, which is comparable to the advertising screen in the mall, and it is really cool when the game is broadcast in real time.Today is not a day off, but when Xiao Yan and Mark entered the bar, there was still a lot of people talking.

Mark put his hands in his pockets and looked around. Xiao Yan knew that he was observing the environment.

"Mark, are you the only one protecting me?" Xiao Yan poked his head towards Mark and whispered in his ear.

"Boy! Stop looking down on me! I'm an elite in the special mission force!"

"Then I'm really honored! You actually sent elites to protect me!" Xiao Yan snorted.

Mark scratched his head, "I don't know what to say. Wen En said today that the boss will definitely send the most trusted person to protect you. I didn't expect to choose me. I thought it would be Liv."

"...Why is it the most trusted person?"

"Probably... Anyway, the boss thinks highly of you! You are different from those weak chicken researchers!"

This answer made Xiao Yan laugh out loud, Mark also has a cute side.And the weak chicken in his mouth refers to Casey, of course.

Five minutes before the start of the game, the bartender pushed a mug of beer along the bar, and everyone caught it familiarly. When the game started, Xiao Yan's full energy was occupied.

Mark supported his head and seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of watching the game, but in fact he kept reporting the situation to the communicator on his wrist.

After a home run, the whole bar burst into cheers and some sighed. Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide and drank three glasses of beer.

But the beer in front of Mark remained untouched.

The game is finally over, and everyone is talking about the details of the game together.

"Mark, I'm going to the bathroom! Too much beer!"

Mark could not help but follow behind Xiao Yan.

"I said Mark, can you stop being so nervous and make me feel that I am in a very dangerous situation!" Xiao Yan peed helplessly.

"The responsibility is, in my opinion, you shouldn't be allowed to come out to let the wind go! There are too many people here!"

"Just break my neck." Xiao Yan immediately put on a mournful face.

The compartment was pushed open, and two teenagers came out, one of them looked in Xiao Yan's direction.

Mark turned sideways and stood in front of Xiao Yan.

"Hey, are you a bodyguard? Can you please don't be so nervous? It's too disgusting! This is the bathroom!" One of the teenagers pouted in disdain.

"Please go out after urinating, we don't have the habit of being watched by others." Mark's face darkened.

"Forget it." Another teenager pushed Mark with his palm, and the two left angrily.

Mark's tense muscles relaxed slightly.

"I said they are just two children, you don't have to be so nervous at all."

Xiao Yan felt that Mark was making a big deal out of a molehill.

Just when Mark exhaled, Xiao Yan suddenly understood.

"Actually, it's not about letting us researchers come out to relax, but using us as a bait to see if there are any spies from the Tide Organization in Shire, right?"

Mark was silent.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, damn it, he almost killed his life last time, now it's coming again?

He glanced at Mark's communicator, and said his guess in a cold voice, "Actually, it's not just you who stared at me. Some of the guests who watched the baseball game just now didn't pay attention to the game, but looked around. They seem to be wary of something, and with their size, I guess they are also members of the Special Task Force."

Mark twitched the corner of his mouth, "You guys have really good observation skills."

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the other side of the door, something happened!

"Don't go out yet!" Mark raised his wrist to contact the special forces lurking in the bar, but got no response, "Boss! There is a situation! I will take Xiao Yan out of the bar from the bathroom!"

After finishing speaking, Mark turned around, but at that moment, he paused, his face a little ugly.

"Mark! What's wrong with you, Mark!"

"I'm fine..." Mark tried to lift Xiao Yan up, but he suddenly lost his strength and knelt down.

"mark!"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and saw Mark lying on the ground, his face turned blue, his hands clasped his throat, and his pupils were gradually dilated. These are all symptoms of suffocation.

A certain idea flooded into Xiao Yan's mind. He checked the place where Mark was pushed by the boy just now. The healing ability of the special forces is very strong, and there is no trace on his body at this time.

Xiao Yan immediately connected to Mark's communicator, and what he saw was Heine's name, "Colonel Burton! Is it you!"

"Get there in half a minute, protect yourself."

Contact was lost.

Mark's breathing became more and more difficult, and a look of despair slowly appeared in his eyes.

"Mark! Hold on! Do you hear, Colonel Burton is coming!"

The sound of the engine of the aircraft flying at low altitude came from outside the bathroom window.

A figure stood in front of the cabin door, his hair was dragged by the hunting wind, his long legs crossed, and he landed firmly in front of the window.

"Heine..."

There was no expression on Heine's face. The special task force had already surrounded the bar. Three special forces among the bar guests fell to the ground after being hit by some kind of bullet, causing a stampede in the bar. They showed the same symptoms as Mark. .

Heine came to Mark's side, carried him on his shoulders, looked sideways at Xiao Yan, "Let's go!"

The next moment, Heine's arms circled around Xiao Yan, picked him up, and jumped out from the window sill.

Before he could exclaim in surprise, they had landed firmly in the cabin, and the aircraft was headed to the military medical center.

The medical staff gave Mark first aid, and everything was so tense that it was unreal.

Outside the emergency room, Winn and Liv rushed over.

"How's Mark doing?"

"Is it the same as Jane Wallis's troops were attacked?"

"Yeah." Hein closed his eyes.

"Oh...God..." Wen En hugged his head.

This means that special mission forces are no longer invincible.

At the same time, the other three special forces soldiers who were sent to the rescue room had all suffocated to death.

Wen En clenched his fists, "These bastards! They are still in Shire!"

Liv bit her lip and clenched her fists loudly, "I can't stay here! The investigative department has called up the information of all the people in the bar! There must be some people among them! I'm going to find out these lunatics !"

Liv turned and walked away quickly.

Heine's expression was cold and solemn, she leaned against the wall and lowered her eyes slightly.

The doctor responsible for rescuing Mark came out and told them that now they can only rely on medical equipment to inject synthetic oxygen into Mark's blood.However, the inability to supply oxygen to the body will cause Mark's body to fail, and the final result is still death.

"How much time does he have! Let those researchers find a way to save him! Don't they complain every day that there is too much training! Do you want to spend all your time on research!"

"He won't have more than three hours left. Over time, his body can't even absorb synthetic oxygen."

The doctor's words caused Winn to slam his fist against the wall.

A text message from the Central Academy of Sciences came through He Yin's communicator.

Wen En immediately stepped forward, "What did they say? Has an antidote been made?"

"No."

Heine's answer was disappointing.

Wen En clicked on the message, and he who had been lazily smiling became furious: "They are still studying how toxins work on the X virus! Xiao Yan knows about such problems!"

At that moment, Hein frowned and looked at Xiao Yan, "You already know?"

"That's my guess..."

Hai Yin walked towards Xiao Yan step by step, the heavy oppressive feeling made Xiao Yan retreat subconsciously.

"What about the results of your research?"

"I... synthesized a decomposing enzyme that can decompose that toxin, but it didn't work on the human body!"

Wen En was stunned, and looked at Xiao Yan with wide eyes, "Is that decomposing enzyme in your laboratory?"

"Yes...you don't want to..."

"Mark is less than three hours old. We need a risk."

Heine grabbed Xiao Yan's wrist and led him to walk quickly.

Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks, "Wait a minute."

Wen En became anxious, "Xiao Yan, I know what you're worried about! Even if the enzyme you synthesized can't save Mark, he won't blame you!"

"I'm a researcher, and I have the courage to bear the consequences. But there are still three hours, enough to do a lot of things! I need Mark's blood sample now!"

Wen En was stunned, and Heine directly contacted the medical staff, "How many blood samples do you need?"

"Five milliliters is enough."

Five minutes later, Xiao Yan rushed back to the laboratory with Mark's blood sample.He entered the terminal and mobilized the three main computers in the research room. He knew that he was racing against time.The decomposing enzyme has been synthesized, and he needs to use a suitable carrying method to directly reach the target virus.

At this time, Major General Gordon was sitting at the desk with his forehead supported, and the secretary in front of him also had a very gloomy expression.

"What's going on? Are those guys from the Central Academy of Sciences all trash? It's been so many days since we handed over the poison sample to them, and they can't even synthesize an antidote!"

"..."

"Where's Lieutenant Colonel Casey?"

"He's committed to research now."

"But anyway, it's too late for those of us lying in the hospital...right?"

Major General Gordon sighed heavily.

"Now there is only Second Lieutenant Mark left. He has been exposed to a relatively small amount of poison, but the hospital said that the situation is not optimistic... Wait! Major General, the research room issued an alarm, and the terminal was connected at high speed!"

"Who is it! Could it be that the tide organization wants to obstruct Lieutenant Colonel Casey's research?"

"No...not...the other party issued a terminal call application!"

"Who? Kathy?"

"No... id number 1665! It's Xiao Yan!"

"Aren't the three main computers in his research room not enough?" Major General Gordon showed an impatient expression.

"Then...the three main computers are running at high speed now! Colonel Burton sent a message, I hope you approve Xiao Yan's application as soon as possible!"

"Heine Burton?" Major General Gordon had to be surprised.

"Yes, Major General."

"approve!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan's thoughts were extremely concentrated, and the entire research room was submerged in the ocean of constantly flickering and changing data.

According to Mark's blood sample, Xiao Yan synthesized the medicine.

The moment he left the terminal, he collapsed on the seat and passed out.

This is the deepest sleep he has slept since birth.

When he woke up, Xiao Yan found himself lying on the bed in the room.

Turning around slightly, he saw Hein sitting on the chair beside the bed.

"I... I fell asleep?"

Xiao Yan got up abruptly, the drowsiness had not completely dissipated.

"Ah."

Heine stretched out her hand and raised his pillow.

"Where's Mark? How's Mark?"

"He will come to see you this afternoon."

"Mark, is he alright?" Xiao Yan exhaled.

"Yes, Mark is fine. The decomposing enzyme you developed just now was sent to the Central Academy of Sciences. They will use this enzyme to create an antidote. Now every special soldier has received an injection."

"Is it really the decomposing enzyme I researched?"

"Yes."

Heine's fingers touched Xiao Yan's brow bone, massaging gently, closing his eyes and feeling the strength of his fingertips, Xiao Yan felt sleepy again after relaxing.

"Go to sleep."

"Ah."

Heine lowered her head slowly, turned her face at a gentle angle, and touched Xiao Yan's lips.

He closed his eyes and stayed there, as if feeling the temperature and breath belonging to Xiao Yan.

When he closed the door, he saw Wen En with a serious face.

"The application to increase Xiao Yan's security level has been approved. Major General Gordon and the Central Academy of Sciences mean to keep everything secret."

"I'm afraid it's hard to keep it secret." Heine's expression was so cold that it was bone-chilling. "He will soon...become the only target of Chaos."

Liv has been chasing down the two teenagers that Xiao Yan met in the bathroom of the bar that day.But these two people seem to have evaporated.

When Liv and Mark were talking about this matter in the tunnel, Xiao Yan was on the way to receive training in fighting skills.

"Hey! Xiao Yan!" Mark hugged Xiao Yan, "I scared you kid that day! Look! I'm still alive!"

This guy was still very powerful, Xiao Yan finally felt relieved.

"The group of guys in the Central Academy of Sciences are not completely useless! I heard that they developed an antidote within three hours! I suddenly admire them!"

"Central Academy of Sciences?" Xiao Yan paused, although he is also a researcher of the Academy of Sciences, but...

Not far away, Wen En smiled and made a "silence" gesture to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan immediately understood that this was the military's way of protecting him.Give the entire Central Academy of Sciences the aura of successfully developing the decomposing enzyme, not Xiao Yan himself.

"From today onwards, I will be your combat instructor. I won't show mercy just because I think you're not bad!" Wen En carried Xiao Yan into the training room.

"What? You?"

"What's that look on your face? Can't I teach you as a major?" Wen En snorted.

"I just think it's a waste of your time for you to teach me!"

Wen En will not tell Xiao Yan that the military department has issued an order to him. He must ensure that after three months of fighting training, Xiao Yan can have a certain fighting ability, and at least be able to protect him when facing two to three zombies. Own.If Winn fails to do so, he will be demoted.

Standing face to face with Wen En, the serious expression on the other side made Xiao Yan swallow his saliva.

The author has something to say: Fat Winter Melon: Xiao Yan, a fool like Mark doesn't even know that you saved him...

Xiao Yan: Forget it, his IQ has never been at the same level as mine.
