Late at night, in Lu Zhixing's virtual space, several black shadows appeared.
Their appearance is constantly changing, like a mosaic, or like their bodies are covered with countless small mirrors, which scatteredly reflect the surrounding scenes.
When they first entered the virtual space, they did not immediately take out their suitcases and fumble around inside as before. Instead, they looked around to check the current status of the virtual space.
Then, Pavel took a breath.
This virtual space has indeed changed a lot compared to last time!
The last time I came here, this virtual space was simply an extremely huge maze, as if it were randomly spliced together from abandoned cities, and the whole thing was a chaotic steel jungle.
But this time, things changed slightly.
Most of the virtual space is still the same as before, but the long strip in the center has undergone obvious changes.
The architectural style has become a modern urban style, no longer the apocalyptic style of an abandoned city as before.
This long strip area is connected to the center of the virtual space and is obviously different from other parts. There were no zombies inside, just some ordinary-looking citizens.
These citizens all look like students, and some look like office workers. They live step by step in this long virtual city, crossing the road, commuting to and from get off work. They don't look much like real people. difference.
In this long strip area, you can roughly see several different buildings from the outside in. The first building looks a bit like a martial arts gym, the second one looks a bit like a nightclub in a downtown area, and the ones from behind seem a bit like a martial arts gym. There are, but you can’t see it clearly with the naked eye.
Many green data stream characters appeared in Pavel's eye sockets, and soon he "saw" more information.
This long strip area no longer has the properties of a maze as before, but is more like a shortcut that can directly enter the core area of the virtual space from the periphery.
In addition, the underlying rules of this virtual space have also undergone some adjustments and changes compared to the last time.
"Improved physical fitness in terms of movement and jumping. This seems to be the same as before.
"Fall damage from high altitude has returned to normal. The underlying rules that previously significantly reduced fall damage are gone.
"The vitality returns to normal levels. If you are seriously injured, you will be kicked out of the virtual space and will no longer be able to visit for a short period of time. The underlying rules that greatly enhanced your vitality are no longer there.
"This path is indeed no longer a maze, and there are no zombies or powerful hostile creatures. There are only some ordinary people with normal statistics.
"Huh, sure enough, the owner of this virtual space cannot always live in that complicated maze, but he can't help but add shortcuts for himself..."
After scanning the underlying rules of the entire space, Pavel had some guesses, and he was sure that most of these guesses should be no problem.
Pavel has never been able to figure out a problem before. The owner of this virtual space has set up the virtual space in such a way that he has to go through a maze every time he uses the secret key. Doesn't he find it troublesome?
Now it seems that the previous situation was mostly a special situation.
It was a plan that the owner of this virtual space worked with the officials to guess in advance that the coordinates of this virtual space were left, so it was set up as a maze to cooperate with the official actions to catch hackers like them!
But after that operation, officials and the owners of the virtual space apparently let their guard down.
They felt that these hackers would not come back after being defeated, so the owner of the virtual space made changes to the virtual space.
A shortcut was built from the periphery to the core of the virtual space.
On the one hand, this may be for testing and making new games, but on the other hand, it also leaves a shortcut for developers to quickly get to the center of the virtual space.
Of course, Pavel also knew very well that there must be some other protective measures in this new passage area.
But he felt that this would not be a big problem. Hackers could obtain higher levels of force by exploiting loopholes. As long as it was not a maze that was difficult to crack, it would not be an obstacle to hackers.
"Start working and be more agile!"
Pavel gave the order and the hackers were quickly armed. Their bodies flowed like ripples, and light and flexible tights, hooks, and specialized climbing equipment appeared, and they also obtained pistols.
This space still has the strictest underlying restrictions, so the most powerful force can only be a small pistol, and there is no way to use any more powerful fully automatic weapons.
But for these hackers, this is not a big problem. The force value is completely enough. The main problem that troubled them before was the maze route problem.
Various data streams flashed across Pavel's field of vision, and he began to quickly analyze the theoretically feasible paths around him.
Soon, a winding passage appeared in his field of vision.
This passage is obviously different from the huge maze before. Although the route has some twists and turns, compared with the huge maze that requires infinite circles and is difficult to crack with hacking tools, it is already a smooth journey.
Pavel brought a total of seven hackers with him this time, and since he no longer needed to run the maze this time, he believed that the commission was already in his pocket.
"Start working!"
The hackers immediately moved towards the core area of the virtual space!
Soon, they seemed to be in a modern city, with skyscrapers, lower shops on both sides of the street, and various pedestrians coming and going. However, these were probably just ordinary AIs, just making this virtual city seem more lively.
Pavel would not take these unarmed passers-by seriously and moved quickly with other hackers.
Their physical fitness has been automatically improved to the highest level allowed by the underlying rules of the entire virtual space by exploiting loopholes. They can always keep running without feeling too tired.
This distance can be covered in about ten minutes.
However, just after running a few steps, Pavel heard a cry of pain from behind.
"Oh! Falk!"
The cry was quite miserable and shocked everyone.
Pavel was startled and quickly stopped and looked back, but he did not see any threatening enemy. He only saw a figure of an office worker in a suit running away quickly and getting into a nearby shop.
Look at one of the hackers, who is currently covering his crotch, curled up on the ground, his butt raised high, his face flushed, like a prawn just out of the pot.
