247 A Close Call
Professor Orville pursed his lips and said, “No matter what method the other party uses, whether they’re really at their wits’ end or if they’ve changed their playstyle, this has nothing to do with us. We just need to maintain our rhythm. So don’t panic and don’t be smug. Let’s continue steadily. This has always been the playstyle of our technology team.”
When he reached the end of his sentence, his tone clearly became heavier. The students’ originally dispirited hearts also tightened. They did not dare to gossip anymore and returned to the competition.
Yu Han glanced at the lagging progress. Although she was a little anxious, she did not panic. From the moment she chose this new playstyle, she had already expected such a situation.
As she skillfully typed the codes that she knew by heart, she was also thinking about where the key was hidden. As long as she could find this key before KUJI’s team dealt with her base, she would be able to lock the victory.
However, KUJI’s team was undoubtedly the best hacker team in the world. It was obviously not so easy for her to find the key.
Yu Han’s brain was like a supercomputer’s CPU. It was running crazily. As time passed, her head was covered in sweat. Clearly, this was not an easy task for her.
As for Professor Orville, it was the same. The further he went, the more strenuous he felt. He often had to stop and think about how to continue.
At this moment, He Meng happened to drive into the guesthouse area. She drove around outside and found a parking space. Then, she got out of the car and slowly walked back to the guesthouse.
At this moment, Assistant Lang Yu was washing rice and cooking in the kitchen. The earthen jar on the stove was boiling a pot of bone soup. This was a medicinal soup that he had specially learned from the online food teaching videos.
Recently, Yu Han had to film, play games, and study. She was indeed under a lot of pressure. Although she didn’t feel it herself, in the eyes of He Meng and Lang Yu, she was obviously thinner than a few days ago, so they didn’t have to deliberately restrain her diet these few days.
Lang Yu wanted to make some hot soup so that Yu Han could nourish her body.
He Meng knocked on the door of the courtyard. When Lang Yu heard the commotion, he came out of the kitchen and asked, “Who is it?”
He Meng replied, “It’s me. I’m back.”
Lang Yu immediately put down the lock and opened the door. “Sister He, you’re back. I’ve already made soup and prepared to cook. We’ll be able to eat dinner soon.”
He Meng had been running outside for the whole day and was wearing a pair of 11-centimeter high heels. She was obviously very tired. Hearing this, she waved her hand lazily. “Okay, I’ll leave dinner to you.” Then, as she walked into the courtyard, she asked, “Where’s Hanhan? Is she still sleeping?”
Lang Yu replied, “Yes, she’s still sleeping in her room. I just listened and there’s no movement in the room. I think she’s still asleep.”
He Meng looked at the time. “How long has she been asleep?”
Lang Yu wasn’t sure either. “Hanhan said that she wanted to play games for a while first. She would sleep after she was tired, so I don’t know how long she slept for. I only know that she finished her tuition at around 3:30 pm and went back to her room. She hasn’t come out until now.”
He Meng did some calculations. It was almost six o’clock. Yu Han had been in the room for almost two and a half hours.
“Then it should be about time to wake her up. Otherwise, if she sleeps for too long, she won’t be able to sleep at night and will delay waking up tomorrow.” As she spoke, she walked towards Yu Han’s room.
The sound of high heels tapping on the ground grew closer and closer. At this moment, Yu Han’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She had found it! She had found the key. This key could break through this “chain lock” in one fell swoop.
Yu Han looked down at the backstage data and realized that KUJI’s team had also reached the last crucial stage. That was the biggest obstacle that Yu Han had set up in a limited time.
Based on the speed at which their team was breaking through the checkpoint, they should be able to break through in less than five minutes.
Therefore, Yu Han had to hurry up. The room in the guesthouse was made of wood, so of course she heard the sound of He Meng’s high heels. However, she couldn’t care less now. Her hands were like machines, typing every character on the keyboard very quickly and emotionlessly. Lines of code flashed past her eyes.
