Hongmeng·Underground Super Information Center Area.
Square supercomputing servers that are ten meters high are arranged neatly.
At a glance, there is no end in sight.
Hundreds of senior researchers in white research uniforms, leading thousands of engineers, are inspecting the server's database and various facilities in an all-round way.
A white-haired doctor took the lead, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said a little frantically while checking various data and codes.
"Impossible, there is something wrong with some link."
"What exactly is the problem?"
"Dr. Luo Wen, don't worry. Do you want to take a rest? You haven't slept a wink all night."
The assistant next to me quickly persuaded.
"There's no time to rest, it's almost half the countdown to the end! So far we haven't found even a single clue!"
Dr. Rowan slapped the server cabinet angrily.
Blue Alliance Information Security Command Center.
One after another, the technical staff were sweating profusely and entering various commands on their own computers to troubleshoot problems.
Behind them, a middle-aged man with tough features, wearing a major general's uniform, and a solemn look, was wandering around with his hands behind his back, and he said solemnly.
"You don't have much time, hurry up!"
"I don't care what method you use, just find the source of the problem for me!"
"Don't let me down on you!"
At this time, a tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing high heels, walked in carrying a box.
"Major General Okay, I think we need to talk."
"Consultant Lao Qi, I don't have time to chat with you. As you can see, I am very busy right now. And if you are really free, go check out those freeloading equipment vendors and see where they are.
Is there any progress?"
Major General Okai issued an order to expel the guests without any hesitation.
"Major General Okay, if I were you, you would hear me out."
Lao Qi said to Okay very forcefully.
"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes."
Major General Okai looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Lao Qi.
Lao Qi then placed the box in his hand on the desk next to him and opened it. He saw that the box contained seven mobile phones of different models.
The interfaces of these mobile phones were all bright, and each mobile phone had a blood-red skull and countdown timer, he said while suppressing his annoyance.
"Lao Qi, is this all you want to show me?"
"That's right, didn't you notice that these mobile phones are all very old models? They were all just unpacked from the inventory warehouse, and they were unpacked in a shielded room without the Internet. But they appeared as soon as they were turned on.
This blood-red skull is the symbol, and among these mobile phones, the one with the longest shelf life was produced twelve years ago."
Lao Qi said to Major General Okai.
"What do you want to clarify."
Okai's face twitched and he asked.
"This time things are not that simple. This may really be a warning of something beyond our knowledge."
"That's enough! Lao Qi! Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Then how do you explain my findings?"
"There's nothing to explain. I'd rather believe that something went wrong during your test, or that the other party started preparing for it twelve years ago. I don't believe those ridiculous guesses of yours."
"Stubborn!"
"It's not that I'm stubborn, but do you want me to report to the House of Representatives with such a ridiculous conclusion?"
"The problem we are encountering now is something beyond common sense."
"The ten minutes are over. I have no time to continue discussing these unrealistic things with you. Please leave now. I want to speed up the investigation. The House of Representatives is still waiting for my report."
Okay ended the conversation without hesitation.
Although Lao Qi was very reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
Gray Alliance Area·Dark Curtain Conference Room.
A group of people wearing different styles of robes and gloomy expressions gathered together.
The whole conference room was full of arguments.
"What the hell? This matter hasn't been resolved yet, and the people below are already panicking and rioting."
"It can't be that easy. Haven't you seen that the Blue League and the Red League haven't solved the problem yet? Our technology is not as good as theirs, and many of the equipment we use are provided by them. They can't get it right. How can we get it right?
?”
"Then we can't let it go on like this."
"Have you had enough noise?"
At this time, a domineering voice sounded.
Suddenly the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone turned to look over.
Sitting on the main seat, I saw a middle-aged man with a sinewy face and a big beard, scolding him very unhappily.
This man is none other than Commander Gillavi, the highest authority in the Gray Alliance.
Compared with the red alliance and the blue alliance, the gray alliance is essentially different.
They are more like a literal alliance, but internally they are actually independent warlords, armed tribes, and loose countries.
The Gray Alliance is the most chaotic area among the three major alliances. There are even internal conflicts that continue to break out all year round. It is also the largest gray paradise. All kinds of gray industries in the world are basically located here.
When the leaders of the major forces present saw that Gilravi was angry, they all became quiet.
Gilravi glanced at everyone present with stern eyes and said coldly.
"Since we can't handle it technically, we won't do it. We'll wait for the Red League and the Blue League to figure it out. Now we'll focus on the riots and the weapons we have."
"Understood."
Everyone nodded in response.
City of Clear Sky·Seven Rings
In Chaodafu Supermarket, Shen Qiu was pushing a purchasing cart and purchasing daily necessities.
Although the Red Skull incident caused huge commotion, most people still live and work step by step.
Just in case, Shen Qiu decided to purchase some necessary daily necessities.
Of course, since his budget is not very large, he does not buy many things, and the types are very monotonous, basically mineral water, compressed dry food, instant noodles, sausages and the like.
In fact, there are not many people who have the same idea as Shen Qiu.
Originally, the normal business of this supermarket was not very good, but today the customer flow has obviously increased a lot.
When it was time to check out, there was a long queue in front of the cashier.
Shen Qiu silently walked to the back of the team.
At noon, Shen Qiu carried a large bag of shopping and walked towards the community.
When he returned home, he was about to open the door.
At this time, the elevator door opened again, and the sound of footsteps came over.
Shen Qiu turned around and looked over, only to see a gentle woman holding a little girl and holding a lot of vegetables and fruits in her hands.
This woman and child are neighbors who live in 405 next door to Shen Qiu.
"Xiao Shen is back."
"Yes, Sister Wang."
Shen Qiu replied politely.
Sister Wang glanced at Shen Qiu, who was carrying a lot of instant noodles, and then stretched out her hand to hand Shen Qiu an apple.
"Don't keep eating these junk foods, which are bad for your health. Eat some fruit."
"No."
"Don't be so polite. Besides, I wasn't polite when I asked you to help repair the faucet."
Sister Wang said with a smile.
At this time, the little girl Lili who was holding Sister Wang also said with a smile: "Brother, just accept it, these apples are delicious."
"Okay. Thanks, I'm going home first."
Shen Qiu didn't push back too much and accepted it.
