"Be careful." Shi Yin stood to the side with her arms crossed. "They're on edge right now, don't scare the child."
“Don’t you trust me to do things?” Helmed said, pulling up the live recording of the meteorite observation.
The live monitoring system is observing the trajectory and speed of meteorites in the universe 24 hours a day. The data that Shi Yin got was taken from this system. Helmod also noticed something just now, but he still needs to confirm it carefully.
Helmod pressed a few buttons, and a new window popped up on the screen. It was a video playback. As Helmod tapped, the video stopped on a certain frame. Helmod began to zoom in on a corner of the meteorite, his brows furrowing more and more.
"Hey! Wait a minute! How could this be tampered with?" Helmod couldn't help but slam his fist on the table. "I remember we've been monitoring this all along and didn't notice anything unusual!"
On the screen, a flash of white light can be vaguely seen. Generally, no one would pay attention to it, since accidents often happen during the fall of meteorites. It is possible that two small meteorites collide and create such a spark.
But Helmod was an expert, especially after he magnified the image ten million times, he immediately noticed something was wrong: these meteorites had been artificially accelerated!
The thing that emitted a white light upon impact was clearly a machine!
The reason why Shi Yin noticed something was even simpler: she had smashed countless meteorites, and this white light was not the light emitted by a normal collision of meteorites.
"It should be similar to a thruster or a satellite. Although it would be destroyed the moment it hits the meteorite, it still propels the meteorite. After that push, all the speeds have to be recalculated." Shi Yin wasn't very surprised.
"So, your guess was right. Those behind the scenes have realized our special situation and want to accelerate the arrival of the apocalypse to disrupt our rhythm!" Helmod asked anxiously, "Will there be any problems?"
"Of course not. The fastest time was more than three months of downtime. Humanity's overall efficiency is much higher than we imagine." Shi Yin said nonchalantly, "No matter how much those behind-the-scenes manipulators speed up the process, it's all within expectations. I'm just informing you."
“Okay, okay.” Helmod shrugged, somewhat disappointed.
It's a real shame, he actually really wanted to see Xiao Shiyin looking anxious.
The feeling of always being indifferent and calm, having everything under control, was getting a bit too boring. He was quite curious to see what Shi Yin would be like when she got anxious and gave it her all.
Will there be different expressions?
"What's the rush? I always go all out when I fight meteorites." Shi Yin saw through Helmod's scheme at a glance.
“How can that be the same? I’m never there at this time, okay?” Helmod said with a look of disapproval: “What you see on video is different from what you see with your own eyes. Seeing it with your own eyes is much more fascinating. You are my most prized experimental subject.”
"Also, the zombies have arrived earlier this time. Ye Shaoheng encountered a small-scale chaos, and there was a manipulator involved," Shi Yin said. "The zombie virus has evolved, so there should be even more casualties this time."
"Manipulators? The worst-case scenario is that all the low-level zombies will appear together." Helmod frowned. "Wanderers, manipulators, berserkers... can we handle them all at once?"
"I'm fine, you all need to be careful." Shi Yin gently shook her head.
Low-level zombies are wanderers, unconscious and weak in attack.
The operators are typically tall, between 2.5m and 3.5m, possess combat instincts, and have a vague sense of self. They can control low-level zombies within a certain range.
The berserker is simple; physical education students are most likely to develop in this direction due to the virus. They have weak self-awareness but are very aggressive, and their rampage is very troublesome.
"I'm planning to activate the emergency plan this time, so I'll have to trouble you." Shi Yin's voice was calm, but Helmut almost jumped out of his chair upon hearing it.
"Emergency plan! Are you serious? You're going to go all out right from the start?" Helmod's expression changed: "Watch your limits, we Awakened Ones..."
“I also plan to move up the timeline. Those people want to bring forward the apocalypse, so I want to eliminate them as quickly as possible.” Shi Yin said, “Nan Zhu is right. Humans are not that adaptable. If we enter the mid-stage as quickly as possible, we will have a hard time dealing with it.”
"But if I handle it well enough, they will become wary, which is also a way of delaying the arrival of the mid-term."
“…I will fully cooperate with you.” Helmod agreed after a short silence; he had always been the one who supported Shiyin the most.
Because only Tokine is most likely to fulfill his wish.
“Alright, go and rest.” Shi Yin interrupted Helmod: “You need to rest now. You must rest once before the apocalypse.”
"I have time to watch over you this time, but I may not be able to in the future, and you may not be able to handle it."
"Hmm... alright." Helmod smiled helplessly, "I'm honored..."
"Knock knock knock".
A soft knock sounded, and Shi Yin and Helmod simultaneously stopped talking and looked towards the door.
"Miss." Nan Zhu walked in, carrying two plates.
Nan Zhu carried two large plates in his hands, but he did so very steadily, and not a single drop of juice spilled as he walked.
The moment Helmod saw the dish, his eyes widened. He looked at Shi Yin with shock, then at the food on the plate, his face clearly showing his astonishment.
You eat so well every day?
The rice on the plate was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate; the pork rib and red date soup had cordyceps flowers floating in it; the rice was crystal clear; the crispy skin of the roast duck was glistening with oil and exuded an intoxicating aroma; even the unassuming stir-fried celery and pork was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.
There was also caramel pudding and freshly squeezed juice on the side.
The portions were small, but the variety was plentiful. Just looking at the dishes on the plate made Helmod feel his mouth watering.
I'm not sleepy or tired anymore. Let's eat first. Can he eat right now?
All of Wellen's gentlemanly manners vanished, and his reason dissipated. Helmod stared at Nanzhu, his mind racing as he frantically tried to poach people.
"My lords, the meal is served. Please enjoy your meal." Nan Zhu bowed slightly. "You can call me when you're finished. I'm in the next room and will come to collect the dishes."
"You eat so well every day? I feel like you don't need another cook. Why don't you give him to me?" Helmod felt he had changed his mind: "I don't think I'm that insistent on Freya as my apprentice. How about you give her to me as your apprentice?"
Shi Yin: "?"
That sounds familiar; it feels like I just heard it not long ago.
"He doesn't have any special abilities. Are you sure you want to take him as your apprentice?" Shi Yin was embarrassed: "If you take him in, won't you be getting further and further away from your goal?"
Helmod: "..."
That's right, it hurts so much, it's heartbreaking.
Helmod sighed and took a bite.
Wow! It's so delicious!!
I've never eaten anything this delicious in my life!!!
God knows how bad the white food in Wellen is. Every time he comes to Yanlong, he doesn't want to go back. Every time he thinks about going to Yanlong, he gets so excited that he can't sleep for two days. He rushes there a few days in advance.
Helmod took another bite, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Why does Shi Yin get all the good things? He also wants such a good chef as his secretary!
A diplomat who doesn't aspire to be a powerful secretary isn't a good cook!
