Keyboard's sounds were echoing throughout a room. The room was a spacious room with a bunch of computers. There were more than fifty people inside the room, some of them were sitting behind the monitors, some of them were rushing here and there, another was doing some kind of research at the corner of the room. Noises could be heard here and there. This was the Intelligence Department Research Room.

That was also where Ye Xiu and his team currently were. They were using the left side of the room where most computers were installed. The tables were set to be five people in a group, a total of four groups in the middle. Those tables were positioned in the middle of the left side of the room.

All the tables were occupied by Ye Xiu's team except Ye Xiu and Yu Wenzhou. As the leader and the captain of the team, both were given tables that were facing the team to ease both of them supervising the team.

Quite a distance from them, big monitors were installed on the whole side of the wall. From there, people could spied from the hidden cameras that have been installed all over the country. In front of the monitors, there were also computers of all sizes as well as machines of all kinds being installed. The personnel sitting there were tapping on the keyboard non-stop. That was the area where hackers were doing their job.

The right side of the room was separated with a glass partition. There were rows and rows of bookshelves where most documents were archived at. There were three tables for each row of bookshelves, each table could be seated by eight people. The room was locked and could only be opened using an access card. The cards were only given to specific rank of personnel as that room contained sensitive information.

Outside the partition was where personnel doing their research with the data that they had collected. This area was also used for holding group meetings and briefing meetings.

Overseeing all the personnel was the Captain of the Intelligence Unit, Ye Xue. She had her own office room behind this room. Two big windows were facing the research room to let her checking the outside's situation. Adjoined her office room was the main meeting room where she held a meeting with the team leaders.

As this room contain highly sensitive information, only a few limited people other than their personnel could enter even within the Intelligence Department. There was a reception desk outside the room where visitors would be asked to fill in their personal information as well as security checking before they were allowed to enter the room. That included the commander of the Intelligence Department.

Food and beverage were also forbidden in the room as there were too many electrical devices being installed in the room, not to mention, there were also a lot of important documents there. Smoking was also prohibited.

These rules were what make Ye Xiu's team felt depressed. Some of them used to eat a snack while playing, few people used to smoke once in a while, like Ye Xiu. Thankfully, there is a pantry adjoined to Ye Xue's room which could also be entered from the outside, but they didn't have a smoking room.

The pantry was quite wide and there were two dining tables, each could be seated by four people. Inside, all kinds of food can be from instant food to fruits and snacks, there were also many kinds of beverages available, such as juice, tea, coffee, soft drinks and so on. It was restocked on a daily basis so the food was always fresh.

The downside? You couldn't take it out from the pantry. All food should be consumed in the pantry and only in the pantry.
