Long before Jiang Zhou traced the origin of the hacker, he had already sent emergency contact information to Booker.
However, coincidentally, Booker happened to be on the first floor below the resettlement area at this moment, confirming the safe release of the second batch of prisoners of war from Pluto Deep Diving Company.
Accompanying him were the company's security personnel deploying a 1.414 specification multi-purpose printer.
Maybe this is not a coincidence...
Jiang Zhou thought.
The opponent specifically chose this juncture to carry out the assassination - in order to ensure that Icarus's attention would not be focused here, there was no way to take countermeasures immediately.
The only thing they missed was that they didn't know that Liao Qi was transferred here to monitor Shen Lan.
All in all, after Booker received Liao Qi's message, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.
As for the aircraft of the Pluto Deep Diving Company that came with it, according to the original plan, the members of Icarus were responsible for transporting the escort team to the fourth underground floor.
And since Booker, who was leading the team, came over, they came together.
But they will follow, and they will even turn on the optical camouflage midway according to Booker's arrangement. It was also the tacit understanding reached between Fanny and Booker regarding Ye Qian's faction.
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he looked at the anti-gravity aircraft hovering smoothly in mid-air and the flying cars not far away from them that looked dwarfed in size and armament.
In any case, Icarus won this round.
They confirmed that Shenlan was a trustworthy ally, thwarted the other party's assassination and frame-up plan, and exposed the hidden Ye Qian faction in the resettlement area government.
This suddenly cleared a lot of obstacles and eliminated many hidden dangers for future plans.
The captain of the task force, who had been showing off his power earlier and thought he had a chance to win, now had no choice but to put the rail gun in his hand on the ground, and then raised his hands in embarrassment.
Seeing that his captain was the first to raise the white flag and surrender, the rest of the task force also put down their weapons.
They are all people who feed off the government's finances, and there is no need to risk their lives with the troops of Olympus Enterprises.
"So, Pluto Deep Diving Company wants to interfere with the resettlement area government's law enforcement rights here?"
Perhaps feeling a little useless, the captain of the task force looked up at Booker, who was hovering in mid-air, and asked in a dull voice.
"We have no intention of getting involved in security issues underground in the resettlement area. That is not within the company's business scope."
It was not Booker who answered, but a female voice.
In the A-line formation, the leading anti-gravity aircraft projected a light blue holographic humanoid figure onto the ground.
It was the image of one of Purse Fanny's lieutenants.
"However, in accordance with the "Nord Resettlement Zone Enterprise Business Environment Safety Protection Law", we have the right to ensure that our business partners have immunity from criminal liability during the cooperation period. You can file a lawsuit after our cooperation ends in the future, and then we Won’t interfere.”
business partner?
Icarus Liberation Front and Pluto Submarine Corporation?
After hearing this, the man felt that it was funny.
And this emotion reached its peak after Booker floated down like a feather.
So he just laughed out loud.
"what's so funny?"
Even though the other party had put down the railgun in his hand, and even though the person who had previously dived into Pluto had expressed his attitude, Booker still did not put away the microwave weapon in his right arm.
"I'm laughing. After Coret died, after Icarus fell into your hands, he actually fell to this point."
The man said, taking off the black mask on his face.
The other person's face hidden under the mask made Jiang Zhou's eyes twitch.
"And when I imagine how my genetic brothers will react after knowing what you are doing now, I can't help but laugh out loud."
The task force leader had a mocking sneer on his face.
He looked at Booker and said.
Except for not having cylindrical eyes like metal bottle caps, the man's appearance is almost exactly the same as Black Falcon-136!
"When he comes back, he'll understand what I'm doing."
Booker answered without any fluctuation in his tone.
Then, he looked at the person in front of him and continued:
“But he’ll never understand your approach.
"Black Falcon-111."
…………
"Where did we just talk?"
After hanging up the communication with her adjutant, Fanny turned to look at Jiang Zhou again and asked.
She said she wanted to talk before, but before she sat down and said a few words, the director of the medical department suddenly asked Jiang Zhou to wait a moment as she had to deal with some things.
As for what happened, it was naturally a conflict that was happening on the negative floor of the Nord resettlement area.
Jiang Zhou was not avoided throughout the whole process, and she quickly made a series of arrangements.
And the content of the arrangement... Even Jiang Zhou didn't expect that the other party would achieve this level.
She asked the escort to follow Booker to rescue the siege, and asked Icarus to try to meet his demands as long as he did not initiate a conflict.
It was also here that the number of guards Booker brought was confirmed. Jiang Zhou was so calm when he was on the front surface of the dark blue area.
"You ask what to do if the other party has a tough attitude? I don't think they will be that stupid...but still, if such a thing really happens, then launch the realm of silence and wipe them all out."
Finally, Fanny said this.
Hearing this, even Jiang Zhou felt that this woman's behavior seemed a bit extreme...
However, her series of actions can be regarded as a public statement against the various forces in the resettlement area.
"There's something about my hacking talents."
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Zhou said this.
Fanny nodded and then said:
"Ah, yes, that's it... Let me tell you straight. I hope you will not leave Tartarus in the future, but continue to stay under my command."
Without even a hint of foreshadowing, your "straight talk" is too straightforward, right?
Jiang Zhou complained silently in his heart, and then asked:
"In what capacity?"
This is a question that cuts to the core.
Although Jiang Zhou didn't know the specific system of Pluto's deep dive, he thought that Fanny definitely had no authority to stay here as a company employee.
After all, it is impossible for the person in charge of the company to delegate personnel power to various departments. Employees in each department, especially those involving adjusters, must be arranged by the personnel department or even the board of directors.
And if Jiang Zhou enters the company through formal procedures, then with his talent, Jiang Zhou doesn't think the other party can keep himself in the medical department.
In other words...
"You are very smart."
Fanny smiled slightly at Jiang Zhou's question.
"So, I plan to keep you as a technical slave - I will personally perform the surgery on you and transform you into a zombie."
She replied.
Regarding this answer, Jiang Zhou did not get angry or jumpy. He just continued to look at the other party and waited for her next words.
"Only in this way can I bypass the company's system and keep you in my department 100%. Of course, generally speaking, this will cause your self-awareness to dissipate, which is equivalent to death itself in the eyes of some people... …”
As she spoke, she turned to look at the hospital bed and continued:
"But for you, that's not entirely the case."
"You mean, I can still keep my sense of self after being transformed into a zombie?"
Jiang Zhou asked.
Fanny nodded first, then shook her head.
"Yes...and no."
What you say is quite mysterious...
Resisting the urge to complain, Jiang Zhou frowned and continued to ask:
"What's the meaning?"
"How much do you know about the Path of Theseus, your path to advancement?"
Without answering Jiang Zhou's question directly, Fanny suddenly brought up another topic.
"Except for those modifications in Depth 1...none."
Jiang Zhou lied without changing his expression.
"When The Path of Theseus reaches Depth 3, it is extremely important to have an adjustment authority, a brain plug-in called 'Pegasus'."
Probably not expecting "Theseus" in front of her to tell what happened, Fanny said directly:
"The function of adjusting permissions can be roughly regarded as a switch that turns off self-consciousness. Once turned on, your self-consciousness will lose control of your body and transform into a state similar to a 'zombie'. With unimaginable efficiency, Complete the tasks you planned in advance."
After speaking, she paused for a moment, as if giving Jiang Zhou time to understand.
"You said switch, meaning it's reversible?"
Jiang Zhou asked.
Fanny nodded.
"You can exit from that state at any time if you want."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhou roughly understood the other party's thinking.
"In other words, you want me to complete the adjustments and transformation of Path of Theseus Depth 3 as soon as possible, and then pretend to be a zombie at your place?"
