58: Chapter 58 Wait another ten minutes

Everyone's eyes turned to Elder Li; for such a major decision, no one dared to make the call except for the old man before them.

Elder Li's face was etched with hesitation and heartache; this was an achievement that so many of them had poured so much effort into...

"Then, destroy it..."

Elder Li spoke these words as if he had exhausted all his strength, looking as though he had aged several years in an instant; his already bent frame became even more stooped.

"How about... I give it a try?"

At that moment, a light voice drifted over.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the voice and was momentarily stunned.

"Qin Mo? You're joking, right?"

Li Weiguo frowned as he looked at Qin Mo.

If it were a matter of medical skills, he would be completely at ease since he had seen it with his own eyes, but this was a network technology problem.

To put it bluntly, this was no different from a war without smoke; was he joking?

Qin Mo gave a mysterious smile.

"Right now... there isn't a better way, is there? Let me try; maybe a miracle will happen?"

"Qin Mo, stop fooling around. This is of vital importance!"

Li Weimin also frowned and tried to dissuade him.

"How about... letting him try? Treat it like a last resort. If it doesn't work, you can destroy it then?"

At this moment, Gu Mengmeng suddenly spoke up.

"This..."

Hearing this, Li Weiguo immediately hesitated; after all, this was something created through the sacrifices of so many people. If there really was a way, he was certainly willing to try.

Then, Li Weiguo gritted his teeth and said seriously, "Qin Mo, I'll only give you ten minutes. If there's still no improvement after ten minutes, we'll destroy it immediately."

"This matter is of great importance; you only have ten minutes!"

"Understood!"

Qin Mo nodded with a serious expression.

"Sigh~"

Li Weiguo sighed. He felt he must be crazy to believe a young man in his early twenties could solve this...

Then, in a low voice, he said, "Follow me..."

Qin Mo also knew that some things inside certainly couldn't be broadcast, so he handed the livestream over to Murong Lanlan and followed Li Weiguo toward the depths of the base.

"Waaah... The Streamer doesn't want us anymore!"

"Wait? Streamer, are you really going? It's not that I look down on you, but if you can solve this, I'll eat a pound of it!"

"The guy above, you said it. I've taken a screenshot!"

"Damn it, I was joking. Who knows if he'll actually solve it..."

"Coward!"

"If you're so great, you do it!"

"Wait? Isn't the Streamer taking us in to have a look?"

"Hello! Is this 110? I want to report something! Yes, I think I've found a Spy in a Streamer's room! Yes, he hasn't left yet..."

"Wait, brother? What are you doing? I'm not a damn Spy! I'm just curious!"

"That's what all spies say!"

"I'm not curious anymore; I'm not watching!"

"Now you look even more like one!"

"You freaking..."

...

Looking at the bullet chat in the livestream room, Murong Lanlan chuckled. She hadn't realized that the netizens in Qin Mo's stream were quite funny...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Qin Mo followed Li Weiguo through layers of security and finally arrived at a heavily guarded Laboratory. The soldiers at the entrance were all armed with live ammunition.

A burly man who looked like he was in charge saw Li Weiguo, stepped forward quickly, and saluted, "Greetings, Chief!"

"Mhm!"

Li Weiguo returned the salute and nodded.

The soldiers at the main entrance quickly opened the Laboratory doors.

Inside, the personnel were all scientific researchers wearing white lab coats.

Ignoring them, Li Weiguo anxiously led Qin Mo all the way into the innermost Communication Room.

Inside, rows of network security workers were operating computers.

"Chief!"

A middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up and greeted Li Weiguo upon seeing him.

Li Weiguo waved his hand and asked in a low tone, "What's the situation? How much longer can our security system hold out?"

At these words, the middle-aged man's expression froze.

"Tell me the truth!"

Li Weiguo frowned.

"Yes! Our entire staff of one hundred has been engaged with the opponent for five hours, and currently... there is no way."

After speaking, the man quickly lowered his head, his face full of regret and self-reproach.

"Chief, this incident is my dereliction of duty. You should have me shot!"

"Sigh~"

Li Weiguo sighed.

"This isn't your fault. The attack was too sudden; you've done your best."

"In ten minutes... prepare to destroy it..."

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted in an uproar, and everyone stood up abruptly.

Everyone looked at Li Weiguo in disbelief. This was the result of so many people's hard work! How could it be destroyed...

"Chief... you..."

"Say no more!"

Li Weiguo gritted his teeth.

"Rather than let it be exposed to everyone, it's better to destroy it directly. Those bastards want to get something for nothing—wishful thinking!"

At these words, everyone lowered their heads.

Li Weiguo's words were like countless fine needles stabbing into their hearts. As network security technicians, they couldn't protect what they wanted to protect.

At this moment, everyone felt immense heartache and self-reproach.

The middle-aged man struggled with his emotions, then ordered as if using all his strength, "Everyone! Destroy... the data..."

"No rush, wait another ten minutes."

Li Weiguo interrupted them in a deep voice.

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned. If it was to be destroyed, wasn't the sooner the better? Why wait another ten minutes?

"Because those ten minutes were reserved for me."

At this point, Qin Mo, who had been treated like thin air, spoke up calmly.

Everyone instinctively looked over, their faces full of confusion.

They didn't know what this young man meant.

Qin Mo ignored their reactions and walked straight to a computer and sat down.

"What are you doing?"

The middle-aged man was instantly alarmed. Every computer here contained top-secret documents; how could an unrelated person be allowed to look at them?

Just as the middle-aged man was about to step forward to stop him, he was blocked by Li Weiguo.

"Leave him be. When I said wait another ten minutes, that was the time I'm giving him for repairs."

"Chief, you..."

The man's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment.

Every person sitting here was one of the top network technicians in the Dragon Kingdom. Qin Mo was just a young man in his early twenties; could he really solve something that they collectively couldn't?

Li Weiguo also said with a pained expression, "Let's wait another ten minutes... If it still doesn't work, then destroy it..."

"Sigh~"

The man sighed, thinking the Chief was just acting out of desperation. Waiting another ten minutes wouldn't cause any further loss.

With that in mind, the man walked behind him and watched silently.

"This... this..."

However, upon seeing Qin Mo's lightning-fast hand speed, his eyes widened instantly.
