"Boss, you'd better not stay here anymore. After all, I don't know if there are any other attacks..."
After hearing the news, the black and white bodyguards immediately came to Shenlan's side. After briefly asking what happened, sister White planned to take Shen Lan away from here immediately.
But Shenlan didn't move. She stood there and looked at Liao Qi, whose eyes were rapidly rotating under his eyelids as the data cable was plugged into the brain-computer interface, and she said directly:
"I don't need you to worry. You go and cut off the power supply of all the smart devices in the bar first. Then arrange for the guests in the bar to leave in an orderly manner. This is just for troubleshooting of the line. Don't cause panic. Also, go to the negative floor. The special contact line of the security center and ask them how their security work is done..."
At this moment, Shenlan had regained her previous calmness, and she quickly deployed a series of arrangements.
After talking for a long time and finding no one responded, Shen Lan turned back and looked at his men - many of them were still standing there, as if they didn't know what they should do.
Can't blame them entirely, nothing like this has ever happened in the bar before. Without relevant experience, they were at a loss as to what they should do next.
"If you don't pull the switch, why are you still standing here? Do you have to wait until the other party comes back to kill you before you think about cutting off the power supply?"
Seeing this, Shenlan said sharply.
In order to prevent the intrusion of hackers or rogue AI, the smart devices in the bar are not equipped with independent power supplies, and the main power supply always retains a physical switch that can be turned off manually.
After Shen Lan said this, those people started to act quickly as if they were awakening from a dream.
Finally, she added to the backs of those people:
"By the way, remember to compare it with the surveillance system. Make sure all the guests have gone out. Don't let the guests come to the bar when the security center comes, and then broadcast the whole thing live... I don't want to broadcast it tomorrow I saw my name in the headlines of the resettlement area.”
In response, her men hurriedly left while making a "received" gesture. After a while, a politely worded voice announcement came over the radio, but it was actually an eviction order.
The dreamlike colored lights all around went out, and the bar fell into darkness for a brief moment, but then the dark red emergency lights came on again.
It was only then that Deep Blue breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect this kid to be a hacker...but he should be fine, right?"
After arranging the evacuation, White, who hurried back, looked at Liao Qi, whose cheek muscles were twitching unconsciously.
she asked worriedly.
In response to this, Shen Lan shook his head unoptimistically:
"It's hard to say... After all, the person who came here is a guy who can break through the bartender's firewall and invade and control the bionic robot. Now we can only hope that Liao Qi did not directly encounter the assassin.
"Too reckless, young man."
Having said that, Shenlan was actually secretly frightened at the moment.
She didn't expect Booker's arrangement to be so watertight - the person assigned to monitor her was not only an adjuster walking on the path of promotion, but also a hacker.
And with a hacker staying by his side for so long, with so many opportunities, God knows how much information Liao Qi has found about him...
In this regard, Shen Lan was shocked, frightened and grateful.
What's surprising is that Liao Qi, a young man in his early twenties, is so omnipotent and has considerable power in both basic reality and cyberspace; what's scary is that Booker actually hides Liao Qi so deeply, even in the dark blue range. With her intelligence capabilities, she didn't even know that Liao Qi was still a hacker.
Fortunately, I have not tried to contact the "tenth level" government during this period of time, and I have not played any tricks.
Otherwise, you will definitely be caught.
But having said that, Liao Qi was indeed too reckless when he went to track down the hacker's behavior just now.
Perhaps he found out that the other party was planning to frame Icarus, which made him lose his mind for a moment.
This is more like what a young man of his age would do.
"White."
Seemingly feeling a little emotional, Shen Lan spoke.
"What's the matter? Boss."
"In two minutes, if Liao Qi still doesn't wake up, he will be forced offline."
Considering Liao Qi's age and the fact that Icarus had never had an advantage in network warfare, Deep Blue did not feel that he could challenge the intruder who had broken through the firewall.
For pursuing him like that before, it can only be said that he paid too much attention to the innocence of the Icarus Liberation Front.
As he said that, Shen Lan looked at the customers who were whispering and filing out under the emergency lights, and began to feel sad about the serious losses suffered by the bar this time - equipment and other things were secondary, the biggest loss was Things that are invisible and intangible.
In the deep blue area where hands were never allowed, today the boss himself was attacked by a hacker and almost died in his bar. In the future, according to the broken window effect, they will definitely encounter one after another troubles here.
Thinking about how to minimize the previous losses, at this time, the security center's communications finally contacted Shenlan.
"I need you to explain..."
This is Deep Blue's first sentence.
Although the Dark Blue Zone Bar is the largest intelligence market in the entire Nord Resettlement Area, the people who run it only maintain the minimum level of armed forces.
The violent endorsement in the dark blue zone is provided by the security center on the negative floor. Whether it is the security forces in reality or the security maintenance of cyberspace, they have always been the responsibility of the law enforcement department of this interim government.
The intelligence business should not be bloody. This is the image that the Deep Blue Zone Bar has created over the years. In other words, make this an absolutely peaceful ceasefire zone.
Only in this way can they allow those powerful gangs to sit down and negotiate here calmly.
Of course, from the perspective of the "ten-layer" government, these are all poor excuses. The main thing they don't want is for the agents on the first floor to have both intelligence and force.
In this regard, Deep Blue in the past was able to understand and accept it. After all, she doesn't have much ambition. If this can reassure those old men and bring peace and tranquility to her life, she doesn't have much objection.
But right now...
"You ask me what's wrong? Then why can't you condescend to come over and take a closer look at what's wrong with me..."
After the person in charge of the security center answered the phone, she cursed without hesitation.
In the process of explaining the situation to the other party, although Shen Lan spoke faster and more logically, his tone became increasingly irritable.
This is normal, after all, she was almost killed not long ago, but the person who was supposed to protect her didn't even see a ghost. Instead, the person who came to monitor her saved her, which would make anyone feel irritable.
"...I'm talking about the loss of reputation, not the things that insurance companies will pay for, but the reputation of the 'Dark Blue Zone' in the underground class.
"It was you who said at the beginning that I didn't need to put the budget into security. No one here would dare to come here and use their brains. But the current situation is...
"No, now you have to listen to what I have to say. The hidden losses this time will bring are not yours to take responsibility for if you say you can. Now you must come forward. I must still stay in the bar, and the onlookers outside must also Seeing you come here..."
It wasn't until the other party promised to send a special response force to deal with the aftermath that Shenlan finally ended the call.
After hanging up the call, her face was already flushed with excitement. Fortunately, the light cast by the emergency lights was also red, so the people next to her could not see it very well.
Angrily sitting back at the bar, Shenlan poured herself a glass of ice water, intending to calm down her anger. However, as soon as she finished pouring it and before she could drink it, another message was received in the communication channel.
"In Session Room 021, there is still one customer who has not come out."
This was the message sent to her by the employee she had previously asked to check the surveillance video.
Is it because the opening of the realm of silence affects the other party's ability to receive information from the outside world?
Shenlan didn't think much, just pouted and asked Blake on the side to go over and help the person out.
Seeing this, Blake put his sword behind his back, reluctantly walked over, and then gently put his hand on the door handle...
…………
At the same time, in the security center on the first floor of the resettlement area, only a few kilometers away from the Deep Blue Zone Bar.
The person in charge, who was scolded by Shen Lan in the communication channel before, after hanging up the communication, raised his head and looked at the blurry projection not far away, and then said:
"She told me to send someone over immediately and said it would be best within two minutes."
As he spoke, the person in charge paused and then said:
"Just as you guessed."
In response, the projection opposite nodded, and then said:
"So, you should do what I suggested before and wait five minutes before going over."
The person in charge was silent for a few seconds, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.
Finally, he asked:
"Are you confident?"
In response, Ye Qian, who was in Tartarus at the moment, replied through his own projection:
"certainly."
He is very confident.
"It's impossible for her to survive today... By then, the largest intelligence market in the Nord Resettlement Area will fall into your hands."
The woman named Shenlan, as the manager of the Shenlan Zone Bar, can definitely only be regarded as a minor figure to Ye Qian.
Perhaps it is a special person who can be used as a fulcrum to thwart Perse Fanny's stupid and naive fantasies, but this still does not change the fact that the other party is a nobody.
However, Ye Qian has always been cautious in doing things. Even if he wanted to kill such a small person, he still prepared two plans.
Double insurance to ensure nothing goes wrong.
His own hacker, Xuan Yan-27, is a "fraudster" level hacker. Ye Qian used his authority to give him the opportunity to use the combat warehouse, and he was able to leave the Tartarus intranet and go to the World Wide Web to curse the woman.
On the other hand, he had planned to use the heavy equipment to reinforce the Lobotomy Gang in the "House of Chiron", and he also reused it and handed it over to the remnants of the Lobotomy Gang, letting the guy whose skull was replaced with titanium alloy go to work. The matter of killing.
In addition, he contacted the person in charge of the security center on the first floor in advance and asked him to remain on the sidelines. The woman named Shenlan was already dead in Ye Qian's mind.
Before this, Ye Qian even thought about whether he was too cautious.
Just to kill such a small person, he had to make two plans.
And after Xuan Yan-27's curse attack failed - although he didn't know why he failed, and he would have to ask more about it later - he knew that his previous caution was totally fine.
So let’s get plan B started…
Ye Qian thought to himself, and then casually ignited Silver Skull Dave's soul.
After the man put on the power armor, indescribable anger instantly engulfed him.
