Ye Ling rubbed her sore eyes. The codes jumped in front of her eyes like a group of naughty kids mocking her IQ.

This damn virus program is hidden deeper than finding a needle in a haystack!

After working without sleep for three consecutive days, Ye Ling felt like she was about to become a coder.

Duan Yu felt so distressed when he saw Ye Ling's haggard appearance.

I wanted to say something to comfort her, but I was afraid that if I said something wrong, she would get upset. After a long pause, I finally managed only one sentence: "Drink some nutrient solution?"

Ye Ling didn't even raise her head and gave a perfunctory "hmm". The atmosphere froze awkwardly.

Suddenly, Ye Ling sat up straight, her eyes flashing with excitement: "I caught you!" Her fingers tapped quickly on the operating table, and segments of code flashed before her eyes.

"So that's it. It's a mutated virus program, disguised quite convincingly."

The mecha core is indeed a golden finger. This virus program is as childish and ridiculous as a kindergarten kid playing hide-and-seek in front of her.

Ye Ling's lips curled up into a confident smile as she easily cleared the virus. Done!

When the news reached Azir, the alien diplomat's eyes changed when he looked at Ye Ling, filled with admiration and...

A barely perceptible trace of fear.

Eve's eyes lit up, and she wished she could immediately become Ye Ling's apprentice and learn Earth's "hacking" technology.

"Ms. Ye Ling is so amazing! Your skills are simply amazing!" Azir praised without reservation.

"Basic exercises, no need to worry." Ye Ling responded calmly, with no ripples in her heart, and even felt a little sleepy.

Ambassador Zhang was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He held Ye Ling's hand tightly and said, "Ye Ling, you are the savior of our Earth! This time, it's all thanks to you..."

Ye Ling pulled her hand back without leaving a trace and smiled politely: "Ambassador Zhang, you are too kind. I just did my job."

With the virus program resolved, technology sharing was able to proceed smoothly, and scientists on Earth began to conduct research happily again.

Merchant Li also smiled happily, calculating how many interstellar coins he could earn this time.

It was late at night, and only Ye Ling and Duan Yu were left in the laboratory.

The silence between the two was more suffocating than a virus program.

Duan Yu walked behind Ye Ling, looking at her slender figure, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart...

He slowly stretched out his hand...

Duan Yu's hand gently fell on Ye Ling's shoulder. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put his arm around her.

Ye Ling stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and leaned into his arms.

Duan Yu's heartbeat vibrated her eardrums like a drum, beating against her atrium again and again.

The air around seemed to become sticky, with a hint of sweet caramel.

"Are you tired?" Duan Yu's voice was low and gentle, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating Ye Ling's tired heart.

"It's okay. It only took me three days and three nights. It's just a drop in the bucket." Ye Ling shrugged with pretended ease, but a sweet smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while, and Ye Ling suddenly remembered something important: "Oh, about that virus program..."

Ye Ling told Azir about her discovery.

After hearing this, Azir's expression suddenly changed. The originally gentle mask collapsed in an instant, replaced by a solemn expression.

"This... this is impossible!" Azir muttered to himself, pacing back and forth. "This virus program is extremely sophisticated. It's definitely not something an ordinary hacker could do. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this!"

"Great minds think alike." Ye Ling snapped his fingers. "I have locked onto some suspicious data streams pointing to another galaxy - the Sirius galaxy."

The Sirius system, a powerful interstellar force famous for its technology and military strength, has always been eyeing the Earth.

Azir gasped, "If it were them..."

Ye Ling and Azir immediately launched an investigation. As the investigation deepened, they discovered that the Sirius system not only tampered with the virus program, but also buried hidden dangers in other key facilities. A huge conspiracy was quietly brewing.

"It seems that this matter is more complicated than we thought." Ye Ling looked solemn, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"We need to stop them as soon as possible!" Azir's voice became urgent.

Suddenly, the alarm in the laboratory sounded shrilly, the red warning light flashed wildly, and a line of shocking words appeared on the screen: Abnormal fluctuations in the core energy system!

Ye Ling suddenly looked at Duan Yu, her eyes filled with worry: "Oh no! They have already started to act!"

Duan Yu grabbed Ye Ling's hand and said firmly, "Let's go!"

The two rushed out of the laboratory and headed straight for the core energy control room.

At the same time, Azir also urgently contacted the Interstellar Alliance and requested support.

In the control room, a dark figure stood in front of a huge console, his fingers tapping on the keyboard rapidly, and the data on the screen fell rapidly like a waterfall.

"Who are you?" Ye Ling shouted sternly.

The black shadow slowly turned around, revealing a sinister smile: "Ye Ling, long time no see."

Ye Ling's pupils suddenly shrank. This person turned out to be... Carl!
