Ice Apocalypse (Season 1)

Chapter 185: Waiting

After setting up the traps, the three of them returned to the room. Yang Mi and Zhou Ke'er were participating in such a dangerous activity for the first time, and there was a possibility that someone might die because of the traps they set. This made them feel exceptionally nervous, yet there was an indescribable sense of excitement. After all, they had never experienced such a situation before.
In Yang Mi's eyes, a complex light flickered, and she even felt a bit eager. "Zhang Yi, when will the enemies come?"Looking at Yang Mi's somewhat expectant eyes, Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile, "I'd love to have worked in vain, but you seem to wish for someone to attack us.""But it probably won't happen soon." He pointed to his head. "People with a bit of intelligence won't easily attack others in such a situation. Those who have survived until now are not simple."Yang Mi, leaning on her chin, looked out the window. "So that's how it is!"She wasn't sure if she hoped others would fall into their traps or if she preferred to stay in a calm and boring safe environment.While she was lost in thought, a piercing sound suddenly reached their ears. Yang Mi turned her head and saw Zhang Yi using a welding machine to add bolts to the passage."What are you doing? Aren't these two heavy metal doors safe enough?" Yang Mi asked.Zhang Yi thought of the deceased Lu Fengda. He continued to install bolts on both sides of the passage and said, "Most areas inside this villa are automated. In other words, if someone can hack into our control center, they can easily open these two big doors.""The progress of technology sometimes brings significant flaws. But the basic principles of physics won't deceive us!"Zhang Yi installed three bolts on the passage, all of them inserted with construction-grade steel rods with a diameter of ten centimeters. Even if someone broke through to this side, it would be impossible to break all three steel rods in a short time."Better safe than sorry!" Zhang Yi took a deep breath, saying seriously.Watching Zhang Yi being so cautious, Yang Mi felt somewhat speechless, while Zhou Ke'er was already accustomed to it.Zhou Ke'er smiled at Zhang Yi, her eyes filled with admiration. Yang Mi thought about it and found Zhang Yi's actions quite reasonable. A very cautious and afraid-of-death man might have methods that ensure a longer life than an ordinary person, even if his methods are somewhat extreme.Looking at the arrangement inside and outside the shelter, Zhang Yi felt more at ease. The only thing he was worried about was network security."If only we had a computer expert proficient in networks here!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but mutter.Hearing this, a sad expression suddenly appeared on Yang Mi's face. "Xin Xin is quite skilled in networks. Unfortunately..."Zhang Yi heard this and couldn't help but look over. "What happened?"Zhou Ke'er suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Mi, "Isn't Xin Xin studying in Tianhai City? Do you know how she is now? Is she... still alive?"As Zhou Ke'er spoke, her tone gradually weakened. Under the blizzard, how many people could survive?If she hadn't met Zhang Yi back then, she might have already become a frozen corpse, or even worse, bones devoured by others.Seeing Zhang Yi's inquiring gaze, Zhou Ke'er explained to him. Yang Mi had a cousin named Yang Xinxin, who was studying in Tianhai City.As mentioned earlier, the Yang family was a well-respected scholarly family, with everyone being a genius. Except for Yang Mi, who had poor academic performance and entered the entertainment industry, the others were all elites in their respective fields.For example, Zhou Ke'er, at the age of 26, had already obtained a doctoral degree from a world-class medical school and served as an attending physician in a top-tier hospital.Yang Xinxin, at the age of 18, attended the prestigious noble school in Tianhai City, Tianqing Academy. She had been physically weak since childhood, suffering from polio, which left her paralyzed in both legs. However, her mind was exceptionally sharp, especially in the field of computers. It was said that she had won numerous international awards in the computer domain by the age of 16. According to Zhou Ke'er, behind the scenes, she was also a world-class hacker!"Two years ago, the official website of the Grey Palace in the United States was hacked with the flag of China. She did that!" After Zhou Ke'er finished her narration, Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh.The gap between people was greater than the gap between people and dogs!"Where is she now? Can we find her and bring her here?" Zhang Yi urgently needed a computer expert to maintain network security.Yang Mi's expression became painful, and she slowly shook her head. "She has been missing for a long time! After the snow disaster, I tried to contact her, but there has been no news from her. With her abilities, if she's still alive, she should have a way to contact me. If she can't contact me, then it can only mean..."Yang Mi's voice choked, and she turned her head, her eyes moist.Zhou Ke'er also looked sad. Although she and Yang Xinxin didn't communicate much, they were still cousins.After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi raised his head and said to Yang Mi, "Maybe she just doesn't bother to deal with you?""Huh?" Yang Mi thought she would receive comfort from Zhang Yi, but she didn't expect him to ask such a nonsensical question. Annoyed, she stomped her small foot, "What are you doing? Why would you say that!"Zhang Yi calmly said, "After all, look at it this way. Everyone in your family is a genius, and in their eyes, you're just a fool. If there's danger, who would seek your help?""You... you are so mean!" Yang Mi couldn't help but clench her small fist, lightly pounding Zhang Yi's chest. Well, it felt good.Continuation:The initially heavy atmosphere was thus lightened. However, Zhang Yi still felt some regret. If that girl named Yang Xinxin was still alive, it would be a good choice to have her join his... team. After all, being paralyzed in both legs made her less threatening to Zhang Yi. Moreover, Yang Mi and Zhou Ke'er were both so beautiful; being the younger sister of both of them, could her appearance be lacking? The genes were right here!"Ah, what a pity, what a pity!" Zhang Yi sighed.But since things that couldn't be obtained were useless, making a fuss wouldn't change anything. Besides, the shelter's network itself had a powerful firewall. Unless encountering an exceptionally powerful network expert, it wouldn't be easy to break through."Next, the only thing we need to do is wait!" Zhang Yi squinted, his eyes deep.
