Chapter 520: A Familiar Opponent?

"Wait a little longer. Right now, all sides are probing, and it hasn't reached that point yet. They also can't be sure which Project Department is the real one."

"Moreover, these ten Project Departments each have a commander, and every commander believes their own Project Department is the real one, so whether it's their defensive style or combat style, they are all different."

"Under these circumstances, the enemy cannot be certain, which in turn can give us more time."

The first shot has already been fired.

After a simple wash, An Yinan returned directly to her office. Without any hesitation, she continued translating the materials and took the opportunity to organize yesterday's data.

"Nan Nan." Yun Hua knocked on the door.

An Yinan saw her exhausted expression, "Didn't sleep all night?"

Yun Hua nodded, "I heard from Yun Bi that you have Awakening Pills here, so I'm here to ask you for two."

Having not slept all night, her mental energy was somewhat depleted. If she were just doing project work, she could still hold on, but what she was doing now was deduction—scrutinizing various possibilities and conducting data analysis.

These tasks all required heavy brainpower. After one night, she felt as if her brain had been hollowed out.

"One bottle has twenty pills; I'll give you three bottles. You should rest when you need to; relying on Brain Refreshing Pills all the time isn't a solution." An Yinan gave her three bottles. Ever since returning from the Southern Front, she had made it a habit to store some medicine, and now she had quite a few of these Brain Refreshing Pills.

When she participated in this mission, she had packed all the medicine and traditional Chinese medicine she could carry from the courtyard into her space.

"Nan Nan, you really are my fairy." Yun Hua hugged An Yinan, then left with the three bottles of medicine.

An Yinan raised an eyebrow. Yun Hua! She didn't seem that scary after all, did she?

She didn't give herself time to think and went straight back into translating. Racing against time was no exaggeration.

Chen Xun had not rested for a day and a night. The first shot fired in the morning seemed to have triggered something, and subsequent gunfire began one after another.

At first, An Yinan would still frown, as her translation work was being interrupted, but later, it was as if she couldn't hear it at all.

When Wang Qing came to deliver breakfast, he didn't hear a response from inside when he knocked. Finally, he found a soldier to force the lock, and only then did he see the person sitting as steady as Mount Tai.

"Hmm?" With a stranger intruding into her familiar space, An Yinan looked up.

Only then did she see the livid-faced Wang Qing, "Group Leader Wang?"

Her mind slowly detached from the documents, and seeing his livid face, she was a bit confused.

"I knocked on the door; didn't you hear it?"

He had been scared to death. He had knocked so loudly and no one opened the door, making him think something had happened to her.

An Yinan felt a bit embarrassed, "I was too focused."

To keep the gunfire from disturbing her, her concentration had been pushed to the maximum. Let alone gunfire, even cannon fire probably wouldn't have been able to break her train of thought.

"Eat." Wang Qing's face, which had just been angry, slowly calmed down.

This mission was different from the Frontline, but if one were to talk about dangerous situations, it was truly hard to distinguish which was worse.

Being able to see An Yinan settle her heart so deeply into doing one thing, he finally understood in his heart that all the achievements of this Comrade were by no means accidental.

"Not angry anymore?" An Yinan didn't want to mistreat her own body. She was seizing every second to translate, but even if she didn't consider herself, she had to consider the child in her belly.

The breakfast was very hearty, with a small dish of pickles, half an apple, half a pear, and the rest was a bowl of dragon-beard noodles.

For these past two days, she hadn't had any pregnancy reactions while eating.

The two babies in her belly seemed to know about her urgent situation, as they weren't as mischievous as they usually were, and were exceptionally well-behaved.

"I'll bring fruit over at ten o'clock. Your current work has a great impact on your rest. Taking a break every so often can also let your brain empty out. Proper rest can make work twice as effective with half the effort."

Wang Qing whispered his instructions, truly afraid that Comrade An would work herself to death. After all, when they were at the Frontline, he had already gained a clear understanding of how she worked herself to the bone.

An Yinan looked at Wang Qing's expression and smiled slowly.

"Group Leader Wang, I love my children more than anyone; I won't let anything happen to them," An Yinan promised.

What she said was the truth, too. Although she had translated last night, she had also ensured the most basic sleep. Even if Minister Wang didn't bring her things, she would find food herself if she were hungry. With the mission being tense, she wouldn't wrong her children either.

"As long as you know that." Wang Qing looked at her serious attitude and finally nodded.

Three days passed...

The occasional gunfire had already turned into a habit for this area.

The soldiers carried on as usual, An Yinan carried on as usual, Yun Hua carried on as usual, and even the mess soldiers cooking carried on as if this was just how things were supposed to be on a normal day.

If one day there were suddenly no gunfire, that would be when it felt abnormal.

For example, today!

"Have any calls come in from the other Project Departments?" Chen Xun asked.

The communications officers shook their heads one after another. Up until now, none of the Project Departments had conducted any single-line contact.

"It's a bit quiet today!" Jiang Zhen said to Chen Xun.

Chen Xun also nodded, looking at the march plots and records from the previous few times.

"Plot 435, pay attention." Chen Xun issued the order.

But just five minutes after this order was issued, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the direction of Plot 435.

Chen Xun frowned, waiting for news from the front.

"Exposed?" Jiang Zhen asked.

Chen Xun shook his head, "No!"

The reason he was so certain was that if they had been exposed, the direction of the assault definitely wouldn't have been Plot 435, and this battle was intended to probe the troop strength of the Project Department.

But...

It was estimated that the other side wouldn't have expected Chen Xun to be so cunning; last night, under the cover of darkness, he had changed the military defenses.

Today's probe from that side could only end in failure!

"Bastards!"

An Eagle Country face looked gloomily at those who had been killed. These people were all elite soldiers that their Dayingguo had cultivated for many years, yet they had been consumed here.

Regarding this probe, they hadn't obtained any information or clues, which meant their people had died in vain.

"Captain, is this place a real place?"

Behind the people from Eagle Country stood several others; seeing the situation ahead, they remained expressionless.

"Is it true?" The Captain looked at the person behind him with a beaming smile, then kicked them far away, "What do you think?"

Chen Xun looked at the situation of the land plot, his eyes narrowing slightly; this person's combat style seemed somewhat familiar.

Thinking of the source of the information Jiang Zhen had mentioned, he pressed his lips together.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhen said.

Chen Xun looked at Jiang Zhen, "It seems I've encountered a familiar opponent."

"A familiar opponent?" Jiang Zhen was surprised.

He was the head of Project 0, but his primary area of responsibility was scientific research, and he had not been involved in combat for many years.

Now, hearing Chen Xun's words, he became even more curious.
