Chapter 251: Secret Room Code: Temperature of Fingertips



Mou Xuan and Shen Yao rushed out of the conference room amid the alarm and entered a narrow side passage.

At the end of the corridor, a heavy metal door slowly opened, and a faint purple light from the electromagnetic shielding room shone through, instantly solidifying the tense atmosphere.

"Yaoyao, you go first!" Mou Xuan's voice was low and firm, as if everything was already under his control.

Chen Yao's movements were swift and precise. Her palm was placed on the cold quantum computer terminal. A faint blue light flickered on her face, reflecting her firm and resolute eyes.

"The logic bomb is hidden in the timestamp algorithm." Chen Yao's voice was quick and clear.

When the protective suit gloves rubbed against each other, Mou Xuan could clearly see the thin layer of sweat on her fingertips. The tension and concentration were almost suffocating.

The moment the flow of time slowed down, a complex code matrix appeared in front of Mou Xuan.

In the matrix, an abnormal light spot leaped like a flame, attracting all his attention.

He quickly grabbed Shen Yao's wrist, pulled her behind him, and shouted, "Don't move!"

The tips of their noses were less than five centimeters apart. The scent of gardenia mixed with the metallic smell from Chen Yao's hair penetrated into Mou Xuan's nasal cavity, causing his heart to beat faster.

He could feel the temperature of her body. That familiar warmth made him feel a little relieved, but more so, a strong desire to protect her.

"Here it comes." Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, almost talking to himself.

He quickly invoked his time ability and locked the abnormal code at the moment when time flowed the slowest.

His fingers jumped quickly on the virtual keyboard, and every stroke was accurate.

At this moment, Messenger Mo knocked on the door urgently: "Representative Yue agreed to join, but asked to verify our medical technology sharing first."

Mou Xuan's heart moved, he knew this was a critical point.

He quickly generated a demonstration plan in his time power, ensuring that every detail was flawless.

His fingers tapped on the virtual keyboard faster and faster, typing at a speed that almost exceeded the limits of human ability.

Chen Yao's fingers unconsciously stroked Mou Xuan's crystallized arm and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Mou Xuan tilted his head slightly, looked at her tenderly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't hurt, this will only make me stronger." There was firmness and confidence in his words, as if everything was under his control.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the code matrix, emitting a low humming sound.

Mou Xuan frowned slightly, and he quickly adjusted the code, trying to eliminate the dangerous light spot.

However, the complexity of the code and the concealment of the logic bomb far exceeded his expectations.

"Yaoyao, are you ready?" Mou Xuan's voice was low and powerful, as if he was asking a question of life and death.

Chen Yao nodded.

Just as they were preparing to make the final repairs, suddenly, a sharp sound of electric current rang in their ears, and the entire electromagnetic shielding room was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.

Mou Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that this was a sign that the system was about to overload.

"Yaoyao, hurry——" Mou Xuan's words stopped abruptly. He saw Chen Yao rushing towards the control console without hesitation. Her figure became extremely tall at that moment.

The original text says, "The landowner slowly raised his head, with a barely perceptible sneer on his face." This sentence is irrelevant to the previous text and should be deleted. The revised content is as follows:

Mou Xuan's adrenaline surged, and at the critical moment, time seemed to be slowed down by him.

He watched Chen Yao desperately rushing towards the control console, and at that moment, he felt like his heart was about to stop!

"Yaoyao!" He roared, and instantly his supernatural powers were fully activated.

0.3 seconds may be just a blink of an eye for ordinary people, but for Mou Xuan, it is enough for him to complete a life-and-death rescue.

He rushed forward like a ghost, grabbed the main power switch of the console, and pulled it down with all his strength!

“Crack!”

Accompanied by harsh sparks and crackling sounds, the power supply in the shielded room was completely cut off.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness, with only the dim light of the emergency lights.

"hiss……"

In the darkness, there was the sound of Shen Yao taking a breath.

Mou Xuan didn't care about anything else, he pulled her into his arms and asked anxiously: "Yaoyao, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Chen Yao’s face was pale, with beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead.

She pointed to her right wrist and said in a trembling voice: "The cable... is tangled."

Mou Xuan looked in the dim light and saw several exposed cables tightly wrapped around Shen Yao's right hand. The cuffs of the protective suit had been torn, revealing her snow-white skin.

What made Mou Xuan's pupils shrink even more was that under Shen Yao's fair skin, some strange energy patterns appeared faintly, like some kind of ancient totem, emitting a faint glow.

"This... what is this?" Mu Xuan's voice trembled a little. He had never seen such a scene before, and his heart was full of confusion and uneasiness.

At this moment, a holographic image suddenly appeared in the shielding room, interrupting Mou Xuan's thoughts.

In the video, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie was smiling at them. He was the representative of Yue Zhongli's forces.

Behind him is a brightly lit laboratory where countless researchers in white coats are busy working.

"Hello, Mr. Mou, Ms. Shen." Representative Yue had a hypocritical smile on his face. "We have prepared a demonstration of medical technology sharing. Please take a look."
