When Wei Jinyan's call came through, the researcher went to the side to answer it: "Hello, Wei Chang!"

"how's it going?"

"Reporting to Wei Chang, the doctor is attempting it, but... the decoding time is expected to exceed the arrival time."

Wei Jinyan, sitting in the conference room, let out a deep sigh. He leaned on the table, his expression grave.

"This is the last thing we wanted."

Since the faction of the god-maker has reserved an extra hour to complete their final descent plan, it means that the region's time to seize the initiative is also within that hour. If they exceed that time and lose the initiative in the war, their casualties will inevitably increase.

"Doctor! Doctor! I've discovered a hidden program!"

A bespectacled, frail researcher shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Project immediately."

A complex piece of code and multiple stacked windows were projected onto the screen.

Liao Ya multitasked, her hands never stopping, transmitting the final adjusted code to "Blue Whale" while simultaneously observing the program code on the screen.

"So that's how it is!"

Liao Ya had already noticed the problem.

No wonder their progress was still slow despite constant debugging and code modifications. It turns out there was a hidden program that required a key.

"This should be... the genetic code key." Someone recognized the code from the hidden program.

Liao Ya immediately gave "Blue Whale" the instruction: "Little Blue, immediately compare with the gene bank."

"Gene bank authorization - verification passed - comparison in progress -"

"Comparison failed."

"No gene segments with a similarity of more than 50% were detected."

"The test results show that the genetic code is composed of multiple segments of different biological genes."

Liao Ya gasped: "The key to this code is the fusion experiment data of the God-Making Faction?"

She immediately said, "Blue Whale, continue comparing the recently input and un-entered gene data."

This part of the data is the data they found from the fusion experiment of the god-making faction.

"Comparison failed."

"No genetic key meets the requirements of the procedure."

Liao Ya frowned deeply: "Could it be data from within the God-Making Faction that we couldn't obtain?"

They looked at each other, anxious and frustrated: "What can we do?"

"It can only be deciphered."

"But there's simply not enough time! The 'Blue Whale' is almost stuck!"

Are we going to fail?

The atmosphere was somber. Liao Ya clapped her hands, and everyone looked at her.

"Now is not the time to be pessimistic. The soldiers outside are preparing for battle at the forefront. They are holding off our artillery fire. We are in the rear, and we must give them absolute confidence!"

"Young people, give it your all! Never give up until the very last moment!"

"yes!"

Everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled, and they buried themselves in piles of code, even if it meant going bald.

When the "Blue Whale" reaches its fixed computing power limit, it will get stuck, but humans won't, because humans can break through the limits!

Liao Ya did not continue.

While as a leader, she needs to maintain the enthusiasm of her subordinates, she must also possess the ability to think rationally and make judgments, and be prepared for both possibilities.

She knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to regain control of the signal base station in just over ten minutes without the key.

As the head of the technical team, she had to report this situation.

She took a deep breath, and just as her finger landed on Wei Jinyan's communicator, a voice came from afar:

"PhD—there's hope! Engineer Liu—"

"What?" Liao Ya turned around abruptly.

The young man who had run over swallowed hard and said in one breath:

"The program's progress suddenly spiked by 2% just now, and we discovered someone was simultaneously analyzing the program. Our analysis method has confirmed it's Liu and his team who remained on the island! They have the key data! We should be able to decipher it before the countdown ends!"

Liao Ya was overjoyed, her breath trembling with excitement.

She rushed back immediately.

Reaching the screen, Liao Ya confirmed, "Yes, it's Lao Liu and the others analyzing it from the other end. Quick! Continue!"

She then informed Wei Jinyan of the news:

"The parsing process is currently at 82% and is expected to be completed in ten minutes!"

Wei Jinyan lightly slammed his fist on the table: "Okay, at least we can get it five minutes earlier! Five minutes is very precious."

Liao Ya added, "As the analysis progresses, network communication will be restored first. Wei Chang, please keep an eye on communication with the island."

"Okay, let's keep communication shared for now."

11 minutes to go.

"Oh crap—I didn't save it!" A researcher suddenly jumped up.

"What happened?"

The man was both anxious and angry: "I don't know! I was in the middle of communicating with Brother Liu and the others when suddenly the connection went down!"

"Damn it, I just finished debugging it, and I haven't even had a chance to save it yet! It's all ruined! I still haven't uploaded a third of the key gene data!"

Wei Jinyan, on the other end of the communication line, immediately became alert: "Have they encountered some danger?"

Just as he finished speaking, a communication call came in from He Zheng, the commander of the Marine Corps Regiment.

"Commander He?"

He Zheng spoke quickly: "I received a communication from the team on the island; they've been attacked! I'll transfer the communication to you immediately!"

The communication was switched over, and a sharp whistling sound pierced everyone's eardrums.

Then came the cacophony of footsteps and gunshots!

"Chief Wei? Hello, this is Liang Zhixun, the captain of the fifth squad. We are escorting... Disperse! Do not gather! Disperse!"

The images were projected onto both sides of the conference room and the Blue Whale central hub.

In the scene, Liang Zhixun and several others, dressed in combat uniforms, escort a researcher wearing research institute uniforms.
