Seeing the three people coming back together, Joe, Gale and others were stunned.
"Don't be emotional, isn't it convenient for you to go? Why come back with them?" Gale looked surprised.
"An encounter." Seeing Zhang Ze's eyes, he calmly said calmly.
Moonlight Bunny said: "The sheriff kept pestering us and wanted to take us away. It was the impassive brother who helped us out."
"Hmph!" Chunzi said with an angry look on his face: "Can you do it differently next time? I don't want to be regarded as a madman!"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised. Why did Chunzi react so strongly?
Ina explained in a low voice: "When Chunzi was a child, her parents were sent to a mental hospital because they suffered from Internet Hallucination Syndrome, and she was also discriminated against..."
Before, she planned to take Zhang Ze to see a doctor, but later she found out that Zhang Ze was not hallucinating, but was actually in danger, so she felt relieved.
"No wonder..." Zhang Ze nodded.
"Okay, I've got the identity information."
Ina took out a magnetic card the size of a playing card from the disk drive and said, "With it, we can enter the exclusive area of the Ancient Snake Company."
However, there was only one magnetic card, so they decided to find one person to sneak into the exclusive area first, and then help others.
This job can only be left to Joe, because Joe's face can change its appearance.
"For the sake of business, I changed my handsome face into an electronic face, which is covered with nanomaterials and can change my appearance."
Joe took one look at the Sheriff's appearance, and his face began to change. The nanochips that could only be seen with an electron microscope changed shape and color. In the blink of an eye, he turned into the Sheriff.
Zhang Ze and others were amazed for a while. Moonlight Bunny looked left and right but couldn't find any flaws. She sighed: "What an amazing face change!"
Joe found another uniform and put it on, transforming into a majestic peace officer.
The group of people took a car and arrived outside the exclusive area. Zhang Ze saw from the car window that there was a large area in front surrounded by an iron wall more than ten meters high.
In the center of this area is a high-rise building over 100 meters tall. The logo of the Ancient Snake Company shines brightly in the sun and can be seen from a long distance away.
Small bungalows are located around high-rise buildings, surrounded by green grass and flowers. The environment is very beautiful. Compared with the metallic city of dreams, it seems like a paradise.
The car was parked outside the exclusive area. Not far away was the entrance gate. There were no guards, but the heavy weapons installed on both sides of the gate warned outsiders at all times: "Don't come close!"
"Use this access control system to pass through the exclusive area." Ina handed the ID card to Qiao, and handed him a small signal jammer/device, saying: "After entering, open it at the agreed place, and we will climb over the wall. When you go in, the alarm won’t be triggered.”
"learn!"
Qiao straightened up her appearance, put the magnetic card in her breast pocket, and waved to everyone: "You can just go over there, I'll be there soon."
Everyone watched him walk towards the door. A green light scanned him back and forth three or four times from head to toe. The green light above the door sounded, the iron door opened to both sides, and Qiao walked in with great swagger.
"Successful!" Moonlight Bunny looked excited.
"Let's go too!" Ina led everyone out of the car and ran towards a certain section of wall.
Peng Wei looked around and said, "This is it."
Ina put her fingers on her forehead and contacted Joe: "Qiao, we are here, where are you?"
"We've arrived a long time ago. The jammer has been turned on. Don't worry."
After hearing Qiao's voice, Ina nodded to everyone, and everyone immediately climbed up the wall.
Because there were mechanical prosthetics, it was not difficult to climb the wall with bare hands. In less than a minute, everyone was inside the wall.
"Welcome to the exclusive area of Ancient Snake Company, this is a paradise for the upper class!"
Joe had changed back to his own self, standing in front of everyone, with arms outstretched and a smile on his face.
Gale took a deep breath of air and sighed: "The air purification system here is much better than that in Dream City. The smell of motor oil and rancid smell is much smaller."
Zhang Ze looked at the "small bungalows" in the distance and asked, "Where does that enemy named Matt live?"
"Follow me." Ina walked out first.
…
Matt Gladstone took a special car to return home from the headquarters of Ancient Snake Company. He opened the door and saw that the decoration inside was very high-end, but no one came out to greet him. The room was deserted and it didn't feel like home at all.
This is a temporary residence provided by the company for employees. Matt's real home is outside the exclusive area. He has two opportunities every month and is allowed to go back to reunite with his family. The rest of the time he has to stay here and is not allowed to leave.
There is no other way. In order for his family to move into the exclusive area as soon as possible and live a better life, Matt can only endure it.
"Mr. Matt, you have a video message."
Matt took out the beer from the refrigerator, collapsed on the sofa tiredly, and casually ordered the AI butler: "Play."
The wall opposite the sofa instantly turned into a screen, and a little boy appeared on it.
"Dad, look at the mechanical fish I made! It can swim in the water."
"My dear, don't work too hard and pay attention to rest. My baby and I are waiting for you to come back..."
In the video, his wife and children waved to him, and Matt sighed, his heart having flown back to his warm home.
Suddenly, a gun was pressed against the back of his head.
"Professor Matt, we want to talk to you."
Matt was suddenly shocked. He couldn't believe that there were gangsters in the exclusive area!
He slowly raised his hand and said calmly: "How much money do you want? I can give it to you..."
As a senior consultant of Ancient Snake Company, his salary is not low, it is more than ordinary people earn in ten years.
The purpose of these gangsters is nothing more than money, so he is not too worried.
"We don't want money..."
The man behind him said: "We want to know where the stone door in the longevity plan is."
"ah?"
Matt was surprised again. This plan was the top secret. Only a few people could know about it. How did these gangsters know about it?
He immediately realized that what he met was not an ordinary gangster: "Are you hackers? Who ordered you to come?"
Bang!
The back was hit hard, and Matt grinned in pain.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't! Just answer the questions!"
Qiao's tone was cold and he shouted: "Speak quickly!"
Although they successfully sneaked into the exclusive area, this is not a place to stay for a long time. If they are discovered, they will be in big trouble, so they must evacuate as soon as possible after getting the information.
"I, I don't know!"
Matt gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
Qiao snorted coldly: "It seems that you want to blow your head? My shooting skills are not very good. I won't be able to blow your head off with one shot. You will be in pain..."
Faced with death threats, Matt still refused to speak, which put everyone in trouble.
"what to do?"
Gale frowned and said, "This guy won't say anything."
Chunzi snorted: "Beat him hard and see if he talks or not!"
"Leave it to me!" Peng Wei clenched his fist loudly and said coldly: "Watch me beat him beyond recognition!"
Then, bursts of screams rang out in the house.
Both Giant God and Moonlight Rabbit turned their heads away, while Zhang Zehe showed no emotion while using the knife and his expression was calm.
Although it was a bit cruel, they didn't care too much in order to pass the level.
Besides, Matt works for the Ancient Snake Company. After getting to know each other in the past few days, Zhang Ze and the others learned from Qiao and Ina that the Ancient Snake Company did a lot of shady and dirty things behind the scenes.
For example, antipsychotic drugs with serious side effects are sold. Many people's condition worsens and even causes brain death after taking them.
For example, in order to conduct research on military prosthetics, they conducted experiments on living people. The methods were so cruel that none of the experimenters survived.
So, when Peng Wei fought against Matt, they chose to remain silent.
Ten minutes later, Peng Wei stopped breathing heavily. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and cursed: "This guy has such a tough mouth and he still refuses to speak!"
"Then what should we do?" Chunzi kicked the semi-conscious Matt and said, "This guy may die if he continues to hit him."
Qiao frowned: "I'm afraid, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, but that he doesn't dare to say it..."
He glanced at the frozen picture on the wall screen and said: "Although Gu She Company has excellent benefits, it also manages its employees very strictly. I guess if he dares to leak company secrets, the lives of his wife and children will be in danger. "
The room fell into silence. Ina combed her silver hair and said, "How about I sneak into his brain chip and search for information directly."
"Although it is troublesome, this is the only way."
Qiao nodded and warned: "Be careful."
Zhang Ze said: "Let me go in with you."
"No, I only brought one set of equipment." Ina took out the submersible device from the backpack behind her, pulled out two data cables from it, inserted one end into Matt's brain-computer interface, and the other end was ready to be connected to her head .
At this moment, Matt, who was already dying, suddenly twitched violently!
"What's up with him?"
Everyone was shocked. Gale immediately knelt down to check Matt's condition, and even came to help without any emotion.
"Damn it, he took poison!"
Gale looked ugly.
"The symptoms seem to be cyanide!" Fuduo said with a solemn expression: "This thing is very toxic and basically impossible to save."
"Holy crap! This guy is so awesome. In order not to reveal the news, he actually committed suicide by taking poison!" Peng Wei looked shocked.
"Gail, find a way to save his life!" Ina shouted: "Buy me time!"
Gale nodded, raised his right hand, and a needle popped out from his fingertips. He suddenly stabbed Matt's heart and injected an unknown purple liquid into it.
"He can only live for seven minutes at most..." Gale pulled out the needle and said in a deep voice: "Yina, you have to move faster!"
Chunzi reminded: "Yes, Ancient Snake Company will purchase life insurance for their employees. I estimate that this guy is of such a high level that he is probably a senior VIP. Once he dies, the sheriff will arrive within five minutes!"
"I know!"
Ina sat on the sofa and plugged the data cable into her brain-computer interface. In an instant, she lost consciousness.
Everyone stood by nervously, waiting for news about her.
In the virtual world, Ina is floating in a fragmented void.
"Where would Matt hide the information?"
She looked around, and there were floating watches, photos of his wife and children, work IDs, and a large desk... These were all fragments of Matt's memory.
They should have been placed neatly together, but because Matt was in a near-death state and his mind was divergent, these things were floating everywhere.
"Looking for clues related to intelligence..."
Ina's eyes swept over the items, and suddenly she discovered a huge stone door, which was exactly the one in the video!
"found it!"
She felt happy and swam over with her arms.
"Humph, I even set a password!"
Seeing an electronic lock appearing on the stone door, Ina snorted contemptuously and said, "This can't help me."
Quickly pulling out the data link and connecting it to the electronic lock, a light curtain popped up in front of her eyes, with countless characters scrolling on it.
"Faster! Faster!"
Time was running out, and Ina was anxious.
As time passed, Ina finally successfully cracked the code and opened the electronic lock.
In an instant, all relevant information about Shimen flooded into her mind, and she immediately copied it to her brain chip.
"There are still 2 minutes and 52 seconds left, just in time."
Ina let out a sigh of relief.
If Matt dies during the infiltration process, the virtual world in his mind will fall apart, and Ina will also be cleared, so it is extremely dangerous.
Just when she was about to log off, two giant snakes suddenly wrapped themselves around her body!
Hiss!
The giant snake raised its head, stared at Ina with its dark golden vertical pupils, and swallowed a bright red snake letter in its mouth!
"What's this?"
Ina was shocked. She tried to log off, but was shocked to find that she couldn't!
"Damn it, is this snake a data lock?"
Her eyes widened and she was horrified: "It must have been implanted in Matt's body by the Ancient Snake Company to prevent hackers from stealing information!"
"Who can save me..."
Outside, the brain-infiltration device suddenly turned on a red light!
Gale immediately rushed forward with a solemn expression: "Something happened to Ina!"
"What's wrong?" Everyone hurriedly gathered around.
Gale explained while operating: "I don't know, but she seems to be trapped in Matt's brain chip!"
"I can force her away, but I'm not sure whether she can wake up."
Qiao looked at the time and said: "The time is coming, let's get her away first, and then think of a way!"
Buzz!
Ina's body suddenly tensed up, and then slowly relaxed. Chunzi hugged her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Okay!" Gale pulled out the data cable from the dead Matt's brain interface and said, "How is Ina?"
Fu Fu rolled up Ina's eyelids, shook her head and said: "She is still in a coma, and her pupils show signs of divergence. This is not a good thing!"
"Let's evacuate here before the security team arrives." Joe sighed and led everyone away from Matt's house.
Returning to the car along the original route, Peng Wei started the car and slowly left the exclusive area. Above his head, two armed airships were flying rapidly towards this side.
…
"Gail, what should I do about Ina? She's not awake yet!"
Haruko looked anxious. Even though she was usually carefree, she cared very much about every one of her companions.
Gale put his hand on Ina's head, and a burst of green light swept across. He said in a deep voice: "I guess she may have had an accident in Matt's brain chip. Although I pulled her back into my body, But something was keeping her from waking up.”
"Better solve this problem quickly, otherwise, she will be brain dead!"
Zhang Ze asked in a deep voice: "Have you thought of any solution?"
"Find a hacker and sneak into her brain chip to see what's going on..." Gale shook his head slightly: "However, because Ina is a hacker herself, in order to prevent others from sneaking into her brain, she will definitely set up many traps To prevent this from happening."
"So, we have to find a hacker whose technical level is comparable to hers...and the only one I can think of is Ron. It's a pity that he is dead."
As soon as he heard Ron's name, Zhang Ze's eyes suddenly lit up. After thinking about it, he said, "I think I have a way to save Ina."
…
Two armed airships landed outside Matt's house, and a large group of heavily armed vigilantes rushed out and surrounded the house.
"Mr. Derek, the detector shows there is only one body inside, that of Matt Gladstone."
After hearing the report, a man in a black suit walked out of the airship. He walked into the house and circled around the bodies on the ground.
"These guys actually took the risk to sneak into Matt's brain..."
The man named Derek looked at the black blood flowing out of the corpse's brain-computer interface and said, "What do they want?"
After pondering for a moment, he made a call: "I'm Derek, please help me contact Mr. President."
After a while, the call was connected. Derek reported what happened here to the president of the Ancient Snake Company. Derek raised his eyebrows when the other party said something on the phone.
"You mean, they are looking for Shimen?...Okay, I understand, sir. Leave this matter to me, none of them can escape!"
After hanging up the phone, Derek turned around and walked out of the house, saying to the men next to him: "Inform Crescent Base that I will arrive this evening so that they can be prepared to receive them."
…
The bus was far away from the City of Dreams at dusk. The carriage was very quiet and everyone was in a low mood because Ina had not yet woken up and her condition was getting worse.
"Rakshasa, can you really save Ina?" Chunzi hugged Ina with a worried look on his face.
She was always lively and cheerful and rarely showed this expression. She was really worried about Ina's safety.
"Yeah." Zhang Ze nodded: "It should be about the same."
"If you have any idea, just say it, don't keep it secret." Peng Wei, who was driving, said impatiently: "Yina is the best hacker in our team. Without her, we can't do anything in the future!"
Gale also looked at Zhang Ze and said: "I think only hackers can save Ina, but, Rakshasa, you have only learned a few things from Ina for three days, can you really do it?"
"Yina is a competent teacher." Zhang Ze smiled lightly and said, "I learned a lot from her, and I think I can do it."
Qiao shook his head. He felt that Zhang Ze was bragging.
Hackers are not easy to train. They need to master a large number of programming languages and have a flexible mind. They are almost a genius if not a genius.
As a novice, Zhang Ze has only learned for three days. How can he break through the defense set up by hacker master Ina?
It’s simply a fantasy!
Zhang Ze didn't care what others thought. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
After an unknown amount of time, the moon rose high and the car finally arrived at the secret base.
Seeing Qiao walking in with Ina in his arms, Dragon King, Liu Yueying and others suddenly looked surprised.
"What's wrong with Ina?" Liu Yueying stepped forward and asked.
"An accident occurred while infiltrating and I fell into a deep coma." Zhang Ze explained.
Qiao put Ina on the bed and shouted to Zhang Ze: "Rakshasa, I leave Ina to you. I hope you won't let us down!"
Gale pulled out the data cable from the submersible device, connected one end to Ina's brain, and handed the other end to Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze took it and inserted it into his brain-computer interface and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back!"
