248 Victory Is Set
Outside, He Meng reached out and was about to knock on the door. When her knuckles were one or two centimeters away from the door, her phone suddenly rang.
He Meng stopped knocking on the door and retracted her hand. She took out her cell phone from her bag and saw that it was Yu Han’s uncle, Chen Tian. She hesitated for a moment and glanced in the direction of Yu Han’s room door. In the end, she turned around and walked to the courtyard before answering the call.
There was an inexplicable coldness in her voice. “What’s wrong now, Young Master Chen?”
In the room, Yu Han heard the sound of He Meng’s high heels walking away and heaved a sigh of relief. She muttered silently, “Soon, soon. Just give me another half a minute!”
On the other side, Professor Orville’s tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face. “I see. He’s indeed a cunning guy.”
Originally, when their team reached the last stage, they thought that they would be able to pass it quickly. In the end, they could not break through the last stage after a long time and were stopped there.
Professor Orwell thought hard for a long time before he realized the crux of the matter. It turned out that Yu Han had taken a turn here, causing their initial thoughts to fall into a dead end.
Professor Orville had no choice but to review it from the beginning before finally discovering this suspicious point.
“Alright, my little ones.” He clapped his hands in a relaxed tone. “I’ve already discovered the problem. We’re about to win this, so keep your spirits up.”
He glanced at the backstage data and saw that Yu Han was clearly three levels behind. He felt a little regretful and glad. It seemed that this mysterious Y.H2 had not found a fast way to break his chain defense net.
Professor Orville was thinking about all this nonsense while quickly giving out commands. Other than that, the only other sound in the base was the continuous typing on the keyboard, like the sound of dense water droplets in the heavy rain.
However, the atmosphere in the base was not stagnant. Instead, it was filled with suppressed excitement. This was because the students were all very excited. It was obvious that they could not hide the smiles on their faces. However, because the competition was not over yet, they did not dare to laugh out loud. They could only restrain themselves fiercely. One or two of them even blushed.
They were going to win the competition again!
Wasn’t this something to be happy and excited about? However, just as they were thinking about where to celebrate after the competition, a stern alarm suddenly sounded backstage.
The excited atmosphere at the event location froze. Everyone’s gaze landed on the backstage data in unison. They realized that Yu Han, who was originally three stages behind, had quickly conquered all the stages. Now, she was about to blow up their base!
Professor Orwell still had more than 10 commands left. His mouth was agape as he looked at the red light on the backstage data. He could not say the next command.
They had lost!
There were still more than 10 seconds left. They had lost!
The explosion that followed told them this was the end.
“Why!” Louis’s hand was still on the keyboard and his face was filled with disbelief.
How did the other party overcome the remaining three checkpoints in such a short period of time? Not to mention that the last checkpoint was meticulously designed by Professor Orville. Even students like them had to spend a lot of time researching to find a way to crack it.
But the other party had done it in such a short period of time.
Professor Orville’s face revealed a defeated expression. He sat on the chair weakly. He was already 42 years old this year, and his stamina was no longer the same as before. Such a high-intensity mental competition was clearly about to overdraft his energy and stamina. Coupled with this sudden failure, it also dealt a blow to his morale.
The Professor rubbed his face in frustration. “It’s obvious that the other party has found a faster and more effective way to fight.” Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh. “The younger generation will surpass us.”
Upon hearing this, some students were unconvinced. “Professor, how can you be so sure that Y.H2 is a young man?” Y.H2 had never exposed any information related to his identity. They did not even know if Y.H2 was round or flat, male or female.
Of course, everyone agreed that Y.H2 should be a man because good hackers were basically men. Therefore, every time someone mentioned Y.H2, they would use the pronoun “he”.
