“What’s going on in this virtual space!”
In the lobby of a shopping mall, the hackers all raised their pistols and looked around, not daring to relax for a moment.
Pavel checked the pistol anxiously. The situation at this time made him very uncomfortable.
To be honest, as an experienced hacker, Pavel has experienced hundreds of battles and has fought against security personnel from many countries.
Even for those well-trained security personnel, Pavel is not false, because the combat power controlled by both sides is roughly equal. If weapon restrictions are relaxed in the virtual space, although the hackers will be surrounded and suppressed by official personnel, they will not If you can persist for a period of time, you can retreat if the situation turns bad.
In short, if you encounter an official, the situation is easy to judge whether you are fighting or running. Even if you lose, you won't feel a strong sense of frustration.
But this virtual space is completely different!
Pavel found that all his previous rich experience was completely useless!
At this time, he even had a slightly higher upper limit of force than the rules of this virtual space, but even with a pistol, he was still very aggrieved.
At first, Pavel thought that the citizen who attacked the hacker was just a special situation. The hacker did not be vigilant. As long as the remaining hackers kept their nerves tight, there should be no more problems.
After all, even in the virtual world, a person's punch can never be faster than a gun.
But soon, Pavel realized that he was wrong, and very wrong!
This "shortcut" seems to have been deliberately designed and is full of blind spots and blind corners. Sometimes it has to go deep into dark alleys or cubicles or narrow passages in office buildings.
At this time, there are often people lurking in dark corners, and when the hackers exploring the path are unprepared, they will launch a set of silky combos at the fatal position!
Go in the eyes, choke, kick in the crotch, hit the kidneys, or use various scene props to directly push people down from high places...
Although hackers have guns, their physical fitness is still roughly within the limits of this virtual space and is still better than ordinary people. There is no special protection for these vital parts.
It is true that guns are very lethal and can be fatal with just one shot. But the problem is, even one hit with such a destructive move can be fatal!
Moreover, these citizens seemed to be cheating. They seemed to know the surrounding environment very well, and they had extremely strong climbing abilities. They could easily climb over walls and walls.
These people retreat in one strike and run away if they are fooled. Hackers chase them and shoot again, but often there will be no results.
On the one hand, it is because these people run too fast and the route is too familiar, and they deliberately run to places with obstacles. The accuracy of the gun will drop significantly during the rapid movement; on the other hand, because the hackers have also I haven't used this weak little pistol for a long time. Without various high-end sights, my marksmanship is revealed.
In short, the hit rate is very worrying!
Of course, there are some slightly more open places and some people were hit, but it is meaningless because these people are just AIs that exist in the virtual space. They will disappear after being hit, although they cannot be seen again in a short time. Supplementary, but after all, there is still a steady stream of backup power.
When the total number is relatively large, the hackers will not be able to kill them all in a short time.
On the contrary, the hackers could only bring in more people from the outside every time they were downsized, which made Pavel very angry.
Why did it turn into a human sea tactic!
Pavel once again doubted life.
"The owner of this virtual space has made the virtual space look like this...then how will he live his life??"
Pavel has confirmed that there are no loopholes in the developer's backend that these unethical citizens can exploit.
If the developers leave a backdoor in the AI of these citizens, then Pavel can use advanced hacking tools to exploit this vulnerability and let these citizens identify themselves as friendly targets, so that they will not be attacked at least for a period of time.
But Pavel searched for a long time and couldn't find any loopholes.
In other words, just like last time, the owner of this virtual space has not left any backdoor at all. After entering the virtual space, if he wants to go to the location of the key to re-transform the virtual space, he also needs to do this. Fight your way through!
Is this scientific?
It’s simply impossible!
Pavel is now holding a pistol, with the help of hacking tools, and several hackers cooperating with him. It is so difficult to walk, and more than ten minutes have passed before he has walked less than a third of the entire distance.
If he didn't have a pistol or an accomplice, how could he be tricked to death by an ordinary citizen as soon as he started?
Not to mention getting the key, if you can live for five minutes, you are lucky!
"Boss, what should we do now? It's been fifteen minutes, do we want to withdraw?" asked a hacker.
Pavel's brows furrowed, withdraw?
What a joke!
After using so many brothers and a lot of computing power, we have finally reached one-third of the position. Are you telling me to withdraw now? Wouldn't it be a waste of all efforts to withdraw?
Of course, Pavel also knows that once the time is delayed to half an hour, the possibility of being taken advantage of by the security personnel of the Huaxia Research Institute and destroying the virtual space will be very high, and the loss will be even more unbearable. .
It only took fifteen minutes to get a third of the way, and no matter how hard I looked for half an hour, I couldn't find the key.
But for hackers, cracking time is not linear in nature, and often gets faster and faster.
For example, in some maze-shaped virtual spaces, it may take ten minutes to crack the first one-third. But once the first module is cracked, the rest will be smooth, and the remaining two-thirds may only take four or five minutes. That's it.
Pavel confirmed the time: "Keep going! Evacuate on time in twenty-five minutes."
At this time, Pavel was not just for the high stakes he could get, but also for the dignity of the hacker.
After all, ATE is a well-known hacker organization abroad, but it failed to invade an ordinary virtual space in China for the second time in a row? Losing troops and generals? And he didn’t even have a head-to-head confrontation with the official security personnel. He was completely persuaded to retreat by the protection mechanism of the virtual space itself...
It’s so embarrassing if this spreads out!
Hackers also need reputation. If a hacker group keeps failing, who will dare to find them?
ATE's reputation has been somewhat damaged due to previous incidents, and many orders have fallen through. If we can get revenge this time, it will be a proud thing, and at least we can regain some regular customers.
But if the second consecutive defeat fails, then... it will be difficult.
Therefore, Pavel decided to hold on and check the situation. At this time, they had roughly understood the brain circuit of the owner of this virtual space. When entering a new room, they would subconsciously check various fields of view such as doorways, corners, and ceilings. The blind area and the situation of being exposed have also been greatly reduced.
In this way, the hackers continued to move forward and gradually came to a building similar to a sculpture gallery.
