Everyone in 01 on the SUV was still in shock. Although snipers had been dispatched at the Black Nest ski resort last time, they were not the ones who were sniped at that time, and the feeling was not that strong. This time, Iron Fist fell to the ground, and the splash of plasma was still there. On Zhang Heng's shirt, it truly made them realize what it was like to have a brush with death.
Everyone, including Leya, crouched down under their seats, fearing that if their heads were exposed, bullets flying from nowhere would kill them.
It wasn't until two minutes later that Zhang Heng held the steering wheel and said, "Okay, you can raise your head, we are temporarily safe."
"Uh... are you sure?" Vardy, "I heard that his sniper range is very long. How far away did he shoot at the ski resort?"
"We are in a city now, not in an open environment like a ski resort." Zhang Heng explained patiently, "The route I chose is covered by buildings on the street, so snipers cannot target us."
"That's good." Waldo finally relaxed and returned to his seat.
Although he was out of danger, the pony-tailed man didn't look very good and said, "Those people are not coming for us, but for Edward. This means that Black Nest's patience has finally been exhausted, and he is not going to Let’s use peaceful means to resolve this matter.”
"Edward is in a very dangerous situation now. We must find him before the Black Nest." The semi-prime number rarely spoke.
"But the only person who knew his whereabouts just died in front of us."
As soon as the little boy said these words, everyone fell into silence again. Among the people present, the ponytail man was the oldest, but he was only less than forty years old. He had not been exposed to death much, but since he was involved in the Black Nest and Edward In the struggle between them, they have witnessed two "deaths" with their own eyes.
Among them, the pony-tailed man somehow miraculously survived after diving from the bridge, but this time Iron Fist was indeed dead.
"I have been thinking about a question along the way, how did the people from Black Nest find this place." Phillip, who had not spoken before, also said at this time.
"Um?"
"No one knows Edward's abilities better than us, but the guy who died just a few minutes ago said that their residence was raided by people from Blacknest two weeks ago. With Edward's character, he will definitely be more powerful after this. He was careful and tried to find out the cause and take defensive measures, but even so, Black Nest found him only two weeks later."
"You want to say that someone betrayed Edward?" the little boy raised his eyebrows, "There are not many people Edward can trust at this time, and that guy named Iron Fist is definitely not possible. After all, he has, uh... looked like that , so only Mr. Gilm is left, but considering what happened to his son’s family before, it is unlikely that he will side with Black Nest.”
"I'm not saying there must be a mole, but I'm saying there should be something that allows the people in Black Nest to find Edward." Philip sighed, "It's a pity that we don't know what that thing is."
"It's CTOS." Zhang Heng, who was driving, suddenly interrupted.
"Um?"
"Black Nest has connected CTOS to this city."
Everyone in 01 looked at each other in shock after hearing this, "...Isn't that impossible? CTOS hasn't been completed yet, and generally speaking, such a project needs to be approved by the House of Representatives first."
"It is true that CTOS still has quite a few functions that have not been completed, and the algorithm has not been adjusted to the optimal level. However, the part of the system used to collect citizen information was built half a year ago. In theory, this castrated version of the system already has the capabilities Conditions for going online... As for the issue of legality, Black Nest did not receive authorization from the parliament, but they have great power in Toulouse, and the city council is all their people. They obtained a document signed by the mayor, allowing them to Carry out some preliminary experimental work in Toulouse."
"What is preliminary experimental work?"
"That's the problem. It's not defined in the document, so Black Nest can take whatever it takes."
"Including quietly launching CTOS without telling the public?" Leya's eyes widened.
"I'm afraid that's the case at the moment."
One of the questions Zhang Heng wanted to find out most before leaving the parallel dungeon was what the No. 0 in the main mission was. He couldn't get the answer from 01. In the end, Leya and others couldn't collect much about Edward's murder. For valuable information, Zhang Heng spent half a month interviewing some insiders at the time, but gained nothing. It was not until the last day that he took great risks to sneak into the headquarters of Black Nest and found a copy of the early CTOs information. After looking at the research and development records, I learned that Black Nest had secretly launched an unfinished version of the CTOS system to capture Edward.
The name of this system is Zero.
However, the launch time of Number Zero recorded in the document is two weeks later, so Zhang Heng still has a lot of time for activities, but he does not know whether the launch time of Number Zero has been advanced due to the behavior of players.
The raid on Edward's room by people from the Black Nest two weeks ago proved that Zero was now at work at least a month in advance.
"Okay, so what we are facing now is a city that has been monitored by the Black Nest." Philip took two deep breaths, "Let me think about what we can do at this time?"
"Can you hack into the CTOS system?" the ponytail man asked Waldo.
"I don't know. Edward once talked to me about CTOs. The intelligent security system of CTOs was built by him and several other very powerful guys. It can be continuously improved through learning. He boasted that even he couldn't break it. But you know me, I don’t think there is a place in the world that I can’t go to, but it will take time, maybe weeks, maybe months, and they may still be able to track me, no, I should say with the help of CTOS , this is what is bound to happen.”
"I can hack into CTOs." Zhang Heng said, "Of course, it's just the current incomplete version."
In the later parallel copy, a group of hackers led by 01 fought a long war with Black Nest. During this period, the hackers also achieved some staged victories. However, every time they found a loophole, it was equivalent to letting Black Nest proceed. An upgrade will only make ctos more complete in the end, even almost perfect, which is what makes hackers despair.
But it is not twelve years later, and version zero is only the initial version of ctos, and it does have some loopholes.
In the previous two months in the small town, Zhang Heng had made far more preparations than everyone in 01 saw.
