Li Yuqing and Huo Qixing, both sophomores; Qin Wu, a junior; and Fu Wenyu, a senior...

It can be said that they have captured all the elites of the academy.

Acquaintances noticed their gaze and nodded slightly in greeting.

At 9:00 AM sharp, the side door of the conference hall opened.

Su Yuehe straightened her back instantly.

The woman who walked in was in her early forties, wearing a light gray suit, with her long hair tied back. Her features were about 70% similar to Su Yuehe's, but her aura was completely different.

Su Jin.

Su Yuehe's mother, the speaker.

As she entered, her gaze swept across the entire room, lingering on Su Yuehe for less than half a second before shifting away, finally landing on Deputy Commander Song.

"Let's begin."

A few words instantly silenced all the whispers in the conference room.

Deputy Commander Song stood up.

Click to open the projector.

"Fract No. 4 has experienced three abnormal fluctuations in the past 72 hours, with the peak energy level reaching the upper limit of the eighth order. According to the current prediction model, the possibility of a large-scale overflow in the next week cannot be ruled out."

"The mission of the detection support team is to locate the source of the anomaly within a five-kilometer radius of the fissure before the formal sealing plan is finalized."

Deputy Commander Song drew a circle on the projected image with his laser pointer.

The red dot falls on one of the three yellow warning areas marked at the edge of the crack.

"These three areas represent the locations with the most intense energy fluctuations over the past 72 hours, with the closest one being only two kilometers from the defense line."

Su Jin turned her gaze away from the projection: "Two kilometers, what contingency plans did you make before the situation escalated?"

Deputy Commander Song paused for a moment on the remote control: "We immediately dispatched two additional squadrons for rotating monitoring, and at the same time set up three sensor barriers around the warning zone."

"Barrier level?"

"Sixth Rank".

Deputy Commander Song was already drenched in sweat. This was less of a coordination meeting and more of a face-to-face report to the Speaker.

Su Jin picked up the water glass on the table, but didn't drink it, and gently put it down again.

"A sixth-order barrier can block an eighth-order barrier. Deputy Commander Song, please explain."

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Deputy Commander Song's forehead: "Resource allocation takes time. We have already applied to headquarters for high-level barrier materials."

"How long did the application process take?"

"...Five days."

Su Jin didn't press further, but the temperature in the entire conference room dropped even further.

Anyone with eyes could see her displeasure, and the people at the Great Wall were under immense pressure.

Although they are independent organizations, they have no hierarchical relationship with the parliament.

But who is this woman in front of us? The leader of the Great Wall is just a member of parliament. If this matter is not handled properly, everyone will lose their jobs.

And it's not just hats.

Bai Ying walked to the projection and took over the position from Deputy Commander Song: "The reconnaissance support mission will be carried out in three phases."

Her voice was crisp and clear: "In the first phase, the team will enter the outer perimeter of the five-kilometer warning circle to conduct a preliminary location of the anomaly."

"In the second phase, the scope is narrowed down based on the location results, and the spillover risk level is confirmed."

"The third phase involves submitting preliminary data for the lockdown plan to the command center."

Su Jin leaned forward slightly in her seat: "Team Leader White Eagle, what are the arrangements for the detection range and personnel configuration in the first phase?"

White Eagle answered loudly, "Twelve people will form a group, covering the east, west, and north directions respectively."

A voice came from the side.

"Why wasn't a reconnaissance team set up on the south side?"

The speaker was a young man wearing a dark coat, sitting in the middle row on the right.

He wore a silver school badge on his chest, which was not the style of Huaqing College.

Bai Ying turned to look at him: "The south side is the main part of the defense line. The data there is covered by the Great Wall Defense Line's own monitoring system, so no additional detection is needed."

"But according to the latest situation, the situation in the south is not much worse than that in the east."

The young man stood up, holding a printed data report in his hand.

Chen Guan recognized the graph above; it was very similar to the one An Changqing had flipped through on the plane.

Bai Ying's expression remained unchanged: "Which unit are you from?"

"Wang Shuo, senior at Yenching College."

"Wang Shuo, the data you have is from monitoring and interception on a public channel. Its accuracy is only 60% of that of the front-line system, which is insufficient as a basis for tactical judgment."

Before Wang Shuo could say anything more, Deputy Commander Song raised his hand.

"This issue will be discussed separately later. Let the White Eagle team leader finish explaining the mission framework first."

Wang Shuo sat back down, looking somewhat unconvinced, but didn't say anything more.

Chen Guan glanced at the people over there.

Six people from Yenching Academy arrived, all of them elites.

Hongyuan whispered, "That guy surnamed Wang looks pretty dazed."

Chen Guan didn't respond; his attention was drawn to Su Jin's actions in the main seat.

Su Jin was looking down at a thin booklet, her fingers hovering over a certain page, her thumb gently stroking the edge of the paper.

Then she closed the booklet and looked up: "White Eagle, when will the mission start?"

"Tomorrow at five in the morning."

"Move it to 10 PM tonight."

White Eagle finally frowned.

"Madam Speaker, starting ahead of schedule requires re-coordinating logistical support, and the timeframe is too short."

Su Jin pushed the booklet to the center of the table and turned to the page she had just been on.

"This is the situation of the fourth fissure over the past month. You can see for yourselves that the interval between the fourth fluctuations was nineteen hours shorter than that of the third."

Deputy Commander Song took the booklet and glanced at it; the sweat on his forehead became even more noticeable.

Su Jin leaned back in her chair, her eyes sharp as an eagle's: "If the fifth fluctuation continues to decrease at this rate, you have less than forty-eight hours left."

Normally, she wouldn't go to the front lines in person, because there are countless other things waiting for her to handle.

However, this time was different. Her daughter came to the place in person, and according to the information she received, the water here was far more complex than the report described.

The commander here is incompetent and does nothing, while this guy named Bai Ying is the one who actually gets things done. Bai Ying is also good at seizing opportunities and is a promising talent.

This is only her first day here. How many problems are there that she hasn't discovered yet?

Su Jin felt more and more that she had made the right decision to come this time.

White Eagle was the first to break the silence: "Report, I need half an hour to readjust the deployment."

"You have one hour."

Su Jin is not heartless; she believes that being too busy can lead to mistakes. She doesn't need to compress her time to the extreme right now, so she must pursue stability in everything she does, rather than extreme efficiency.

"yes!"

Bai Ying saluted, and Su Jin gestured for her to go and take care of it.

For relaying messages, Deputy Commander Song is enough; to get things done, you need capable people.

Chen Guan used his peripheral vision to observe the reactions of the other college representatives in the conference room.

Wang Shuo, a student at Yenching College, was writing something down in his notebook, and you could tell he was pressing the pen down hard.

Chen Guan had never heard of this person before. After all, Yanjing Academy was an old academy, but in terms of other aspects, it was far inferior to the four famous academies: Tsinghua University, Beijing University, Shanghai University, and Shenzhen University.
