Mubai as Her Only Witness

Therefore, she hacked into the supercomputer without wasting much time and with no accidents. However, she only had five minutes to use this supercomputer to trace the central defense point, as five minutes later, the system would reboot.

Furthermore, Xinghe had no idea if the system would shut down completely after numerous reboots. Therefore, it was best if she could succeed on her first try or the risk of failure might drastically increase.

The five minutes were instrumental for Xinghe. Mubai did not disturb her, he stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from coming in. The spacious control room was filled with the tapping sound on the keyboard. For this important moment, Mubai alone was her witness. No one knew how much pressure was on Xinghe's shoulders. She was fighting for the safety of the whole world.

Her calm composure did not bely her internal struggle, but Mubai understood the pressure that she was under, her sacrifice and her hardship.
