Chapter 99 The Enlightened One's Stronghold (Part 2)
With Harold's words, the dirt-covered wall in front of the two people separated silently, and a touch of alloy iron color was faintly visible from the gap in the wall.
Stepping behind the wall, there is a compartment similar to an "elevator". As the walls close again, the compartment begins to sink - but it only sinks for a few short breaths before it stops moving. .
Then, the compartment opened again.
Behind the door is a dark passage, with only a chandelier hanging above, barely bringing some light.
"Our generators are limited, and power must be given priority to other equipment."
Harold took a deep breath of the still moist air, and his expression was obviously much more relaxed. He shrugged: "But we all have prosthetic eyes. Night vision function, so it doesn’t matter.”
Song Shi snapped his fingers.
Two flames lit up in the depths of his pupils, and the originally dim scene in front suddenly became clear.
“Is this also psychic power?”
Looking at this scene, Harold muttered and walked quickly towards the passage.
“Come! I’ll take you around here!”
According to Harold, this stronghold was built under the leadership of the previous commander Cornelia - now this " "Complicit" was also named by the other party himself.
The entire stronghold is not big.
This place is built on a sewer network. In order to avoid collapse, we dare not open up too much space, covering an area of less than 200 square meters. Pipes tied with cable ties were stuffed into the gaps between the floor and the ceiling. Many things were piled together. The overall environment was cold.
"The shovel is on a mission and the people are still outside. I will take you to the boss and Flashing Star first -"
"That's no need."
The next moment, a gentle voice sounded.
Not far away, the door of a room opened and a figure walked out.
This is a man who looks a little sickly, probably in his early thirties.
Even though he was wearing a thick coat, with Song Shi's eyesight, he could still see that the other party was wrapped in a coat and had a thin physique.
His face also looked a little sickly pale.
Just in this paleness, looking at the two figures in front of him, the man slowly smiled.
"First meeting, Nandou."
The man smiled and stretched out a hand: "I am the current commander of the Parother Enlightenment, Alnan Blue, or, You can also call me 'Pearl Bird'."
Immediately afterwards, the door of another room opened, and a tall woman with a brown ponytail yawned. There were obvious traces of implants on her body, and a silver etched circuit scratched into her chest from her right eye, and then... Intersecting with the dark silver prosthetic limb that replaced his right hand - Song Shi recognized it. It was the "Twilight Limit Type III" produced by [Zero Degree Network].
A rather high-end specialized information warfare prosthetic body with supercomputer capabilities, integrated program platform, compatibility with fourteen interfaces, ice pick breaking, and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities. For most hackers, this is It is the coveted productivity tool.
Then, the woman leaned against the door and nodded towards Song Shi: "Flashing Star, Irene."
Looking at the man, or "Pearl Bird" Arnan stretched out With his right hand, Song Shi pondered for a moment.
Then, he raised his hand to open the hood, pressed it on his face again, as if he had grasped something tightly, and tore it open with a "stab" sound.
Made of some kind of special silicone, the thin mask was slightly rolled up, floating leisurely in the air, and slowly fell to the ground.
The young man raised his head and looked around at everyone.
"——'Nandou'."
He said: "Song Shi."
At this moment, this place similar to a "living room" suddenly fell into silence.
Until a certain moment, someone broke the silence.
“Ah.” Harold scratched his head: “Oh, this, tut, this”
“Why do you guys seem so surprised?”
Look Looking at the expressions of Harold and Flashing Star, Song Shi's tone was quite subtle and somewhat difficult to understand: "Haven't you already investigated 'Song Shi'?" - Even if it is a so-called "partner", But basic background checks must still be done. Regardless of the so-called favors and trust, it is purely the minimum organizational quality.
"Investigation is investigation"
Flashing Star no longer leaned against the door. She straightened her posture and looked at the person in front of her with a strange expression: "But Song Shi... you look too young and you The photo on the student ID card is too different from the real person!”
As the leader of the hacker team in Paloser Enlightenment, she started an investigation since Zhuniao met him for the first time! - Born as an orphan in a welfare home, he dropped out of high school, worked in a black factory for a while, and served as a medical experiment volunteer.
The person on the student ID card still showed a little confusion and the naivety unique to students.
But seeing it with my own eyes at this moment, even if the other person's expression remained calm, after taking off the mask, it was like opening a certain "valve", which is reminiscent of the temperament of the word "wanton", coming from the other person Revealed on the body.
No, it's more than that.
As the second level [Balance], she can clearly feel that the person in front of her is like a blazing "flame", giving people a raging and burning feeling - there is no doubt that, This is the [Dayuan] of the second ring!
But then, as Song Shi slowly exhaled, all these abnormal "things" disappeared, and he returned to the image of an "ordinary person".
He shook hands with Arnan and then separated.
The three of them sat down on the sofa. This room was positioned like a "living room" and was specially used for discussing affairs, daily conversations and final preparations before going on a mission.
Harold had just sat down when he seemed to suddenly remember something. He immediately jumped up and ran to the refrigerator on the other side to rummage around. He pulled out a large handful of happy potatoes, crunchy candies, cupcakes, Kweisite, and maggots. Pile dry snacks and other snacks on the table in front of the sofa.
"Nandou, uh, Song Shi." He stuffed it into his mouth and said seriously: "Come! Try it! Chat while you eat!"
These are not cheap.< br>
Seeing this, Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to say this, but then he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the packaging of these high-end snacks.
The word "kuai" in Happy Potato is made from the artistic word "Jue", the "sugar" in Crunch Candy has been quietly replaced by "bran", and the "Kafka Food" trademark on the cupcakes is missing. A glimpse.
——Except for the curry-flavored dried maggots, these are all pirated goods.
“.A month ago, Harold went on a mission. The mission location was an outsourced food processing factory that had temporarily suspended production due to accusations of trademark infringement.”
Flashing Star covered his forehead, After taking a deep breath, he weakly explained: "Before Harold left, he brought a few boxes back and said he wanted everyone to relax - but he was basically eating alone."
"You ate a lot at the beginning! You ate all the 'instant cheese sticks', and you didn't eat the rest because you didn't like it!" Harold was dissatisfied.
Flashing Star ignored him and looked at Song Shi: "The fighter is sleeping, you probably won't see him until tomorrow."
[Fighter], this is the main attacker in the first action team.
Song Shi only met Dennis once during the ambush battle. The "Fighter" was completely covered by a thick set of exoskeleton armor, two meters high, holding a heavy electric halberd, like a The standing iron tower was silent - but hearing the word "sleeping" at this moment, Song Shi made some judgments about the situation.
Because the degree of prostheticization is too high, the load is too heavy.
The next moment, Flashing Star's words confirmed his judgment.
"The fighter's situation is more complicated. He has suffered a very serious trauma. At that time, our medical conditions were limited and we could only temporarily put in the 'exoskeleton armor' and use the internal life-support system to maintain vital signs. At the same time, Treatment Surgery.”
Flashing Star's tone was slightly gloomy: "For treatment, he replaced most of his organs with implanted prostheses, and is no longer able to escape from the 'exoskeleton armor' life support system. You know, too high a degree of prosthetics will It brings great mental pressure to people, so the fighters need to sleep frequently in the past two years to relieve a certain degree of mental pressure.”
——Treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Song Shixin Tao.
The current [Fighter] is like a "stacked" tower of blocks. Everyone can see that it is crumbling, but no one knows when the next few blocks are drawn, the tower will collapse. Collapse.
Unless it is sent to Jade Pharmaceuticals, which requires high-cost full-process diagnosis, care and supporting surgeries.
But this is obviously impossible.
"Tabitha is still debugging the equipment. She hates people disturbing her most at this time. Tabitha is our mechanic, engineer and prosthetist." Flashing Star patted his head and explained : "So, you probably won't be able to see her until tomorrow."
Arnan listened quietly to Flashing Star's words.
When the latter finally finished the introduction, he spoke softly.
"Harold."
"Boss?"
"Go and take out the 'embers'."
Arnan nodded slightly, and then he looked at Song Shi again: "But before that, I want to ask a question. ”
“What do you think about the ‘Three-Phase Basic Plan’? ”
