Chapter 3 The Excavation Site

Mateo drove Xu Yang deep into the Aizu Underground City, left Highland No. 26, and headed to Katagi District.

The Katagi district is the most fringe area of ​​Aizu Dungeon, and it is also the most chaotic.

The bustling neon lights and billboards gradually faded away, and all he could see were steel domes and icy high walls. He saw simple underground living quarters, shops and barracks, barely keeping alive under the dim lighting, with wires and optical cables intertwined outside. , the wiring is complicated, like insects, surrounded by black hole alleys and bottomless fissures, extremely gloomy. The ventilation ducts appeared irregularly, and were connected to the huge heavy-axis fans in the high places. They were running fast, and they could not wait to drain all the odors from the ground.

The poor, crowded out of the city, are distributed in such areas, forgotten by maps and plans.

Poverty is the original sin.

When you have money, you will flee to a farther place, to a steaming seaside city, to buy a villa on the beach and a yacht.

He saw a group of motorcyclists whizzing through the street, guns in hand, not knowing where to go to fight. Mateo drove fast, but still made a sharp turn around them.

"These people are local gangsters," Mateo said. "Where the company can't manage, they're gangsters."

"I almost thought you were going to run into it."

"No way," Mateo said. "Brother, many local gangsters are armed robots. Maybe they have some explosives wrapped around them. My 'general' can't stand the storm."

Dajiang brand off-road vehicle is a sub-brand of Kyoto Unlimited, and the quality is not high.

Kyoto Unlimited...

"They're not good people," Xu Yang said. "People from Kyoto Unlimited... They're not only doing anime and figurines. Anjiu City is their back garden."

"Yes, Anjiu City is indeed a diamond in their plan, but where are we?"

"An unplanned place." Xu Yang said.

"The Katagi district is a place where birds don't lay eggs," Mateo said. "It takes 30 minutes for the company's quick response troops to get in. The poverty rate is over 80%, and the crime rate doesn't need to be calculated. They are all bastards. "

Xu Yang picked up the bearer cash card in his arms and transferred the money to his personal cash card, which contained more than 10,100,000 points.

Companies, especially the giant corporations that form corporate alliances, provide security, jobs, salaries, loans, and consumer coupons for corporate people to ensure that a person can live a relatively successful life before he is exhausted by the age of 40-50.

This is already the dream of billions of people around the world, a job in a giant corporation!

And outside the window...

It was the first time Xu Yang witnessed this with the naked eye.

Vehicles pass through a shack made of iron huts, where poor, embarrassed, and unclothed people are ants, standing on the rocks and dull wasteland, watching the speeding speeding with the dull eyes of domestic pigs. vehicle.

There are no hospitals or shops, just tin houses estranged from each other.

The internal and external structure of the company is different. The life inside the giant enterprise is bright and beautiful, and the life outside that can only be called survival. No one wants to be regarded as a talent sent to the society.

"Do you believe that people can survive without a company?" Xu Yang asked.

"I don't know," Mateo said.

The path of man's fall is simple.

Resigned or unemployed, unable to continue to buy security services, cut off the supply of apartment rent, moved from the surface city to the underground city, and then wandered from the underground city to the most marginal areas.

Company people are human beings, and those who cannot join the company are not even human beings.

... escaped from a place envied by countless people.

... It's useless to have money, without the protection of the company's power, there is a risk of death at any time.

... It is impossible to return to work in any company, and has left a stain on the company alliance, becoming a non-human animal abandoned by the company system.

No wonder so many people would rather suffer in giant corporations than flee outside to make money.

These thoughts made Xu Yang uneasy, and even more uneasy in his heart, especially every link was exactly the same as what Pan Ruiyi scolded him - without the company, you will achieve nothing!

Even the big man beside him is relying on a certain company, and it may even be a mercenary sent by other giant companies.

Can't handle that much anymore.

Get the money, fly away and avoid the chase.

Fight for yourself.

A giant corporation is nothing but a greenhouse of happiness, where people are safe and sound, and they can slowly domesticate people, smoothing people's fighting spirit over decades of work and making them accept arrangements.

Real people should never look like those in the company who are exhausted. There must be a system that can replace the company and bring freedom to humans and witches.

Passing through an underground gap and approaching the entrance of the excavation site, Xu Yang saw that the excavation company had blasted out a huge hole in the ground, which seemed to have been left in the previous era. , cannot be accurately determined.

In order to get this ancient witch, the company paid a huge price.

Searchlights, sentry machine guns, small-caliber rapid-fire guns, metal storms, electromagnetic pulse blasting equipment and countless cameras are listed around the venue, illuminating the place like day, and the defense is heavily guarded.

Against this level of defense, any strong attack will suffer heavy losses.

At such a long distance, he has already detected thousands of high-end company equipment in the camp, but the distance is too far and the signal is weak, so he cannot control it directly.

"It's too far." Xu Yang said, "I can't control it."

"We have a signal booster." Mateo took Xu Yang to a nearby rock crevice, from which the dim light of emergency lights came out.

Entering the crack in the rock, Xu Yang saw a whole team of mercenaries with guns and live ammunition. Their faces were grim, and one of them was tinkering with a high-power communication device.

"It's your turn to perform," Mateo said.

"Mateo? Why did you bring a stranger from outside." The girl who manipulated the device gave Xu Yang a contemptuous look.

She has purple highlights, medium length, light blue eyes, a stern expression, a Bodhisattva tattoo on her right arm, and a black jacket and skinny jeans, like a sleepy street girl.

"As I said, someone with a digital mind just happens to be looking for a job."

"Running out of a giant company? This kind of person is usually unreliable."

"Okay, okay...Xu, her code name in our team is 'Bacchus'." Mateo introduced, "It's a hacker witch. Everyone, this self-proclaimed Xu, a free nerve hacker."

Hacker witches are a special type of witches. Because of the abnormally developed brain nerves, they are shielded from their original potential and implanted with props similar to digital minds, specializing in hacking activities.

However, the imitations of civilian technology are still inferior to Xu Yang's real giants, and the training they received is not as good as the professional training Xu Yang received in Gaoge Kyushu.

"I've tried it, and it's impossible to break through the infinite firewall in Kyoto in a short time," Bacchus said. "It's like an electronic fortress, so my head is about to explode."

"Give it to me, just one minute." Xu Yang said, "their network security is third-rate."

Bacchus looked at Xu Yang for a few seconds, shook his head, and stood aside.

"You're humiliating yourself," Bacchus said simply. "You have to catch us dead, trigger the security program, and the riot squad will come right away."

"Tell him your baby's code," Mateo said.

"He can ask." Bacchus shook his head.

Xu Yang pulled out the wiring on his wrist and put it into the socket of the communication device.

Bacchus uses the SIII key, an advanced encryption algorithm that claims to be impossible to break, so it is widely used outside of giant corporations. However, the major giant companies have already shared the technology to crack it, and Xu Yang also has a complete set of programs. He uses his digital mind to crack the key and gain control.

The communications equipment started working, and the lights kept changing.

"Look, Xu's technique is excellent," Mateo said.

"..." Bacchus was silent.

The device itself is also very technical, and it is simply even more powerful to cooperate with Xu Yang's digital mind.

The common network technology is a double-edged sword. The advantage is that it can synchronize and coordinate the work of all facilities in the network, make it interconnected, and transmit all battle information synchronously. The efficiency is doubled, and it is also convenient for one AI to be centrally managed from the host.

The disadvantage is also obvious. As long as the public network itself is breached, all devices connected to the network will fall simultaneously.

With the aid of Bacchus' equipment, Xu Yang's digital mind has already begun to attack this fortified city. Thanks to Bacchus' previous work, many difficult joints did not need Xu Yang to get through by himself.

He felt... simple.

Like a routine. Xu Yang thought to himself. From each node and subsystem to the command center, and then from the bus to the extension, manipulating these treasures, the workload is less than half of the usual daily work, but it can earn 100 million.

The crack was successful.

Xu Yang gave them a unified order: offline.

boom--

The long sound of equipment stalling sounded, reminiscent of the scene where a huge amount of electric current disappeared.

The mercenaries couldn't help rushing out to see that the defense facilities of the entire excavation site had all stopped running, and the darkness wrapped it like a shroud.

"And this technology?"

"...Kyoto's infinite defense is..."

"In less than a minute."

The mercenaries turned to look at Xu Yang and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Hmph..." Bacchus was a little dissatisfied, "I have received no less training than him, he is all advanced by implants, and this is not a full set of advanced defenses, most of which are left by the Bronze Titan Excavation Company, many difficult I got everything done..."

"He's a real master." Matteo didn't hear, and handed Xu Yang a pistol, "Brother, let's make a quick decision, dig the witch out of the ground and leave."

"It's all thanks to her." Xu Yang took the gun and nodded to Bacchus, "You can't do anything alone."

Bacchus raised the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly.

"Interesting guy," she said.

Xu Yang closed his eyes and rested, recovering from the strain caused by the use of digital mind.

I will prove that leaving the company is the right choice.

He had downloaded some shooting files and knew how to use a gun. Xu Yang opened his eyes, checked the status of the gun, and nodded to start.

The security facilities of the entire excavation camp are under his control, and in his digital mind, 1522 electrical network equipment of various sizes are all under his control. If he can turn them off, he can turn them all on, and dominate them.

After entering the facility, it was like a site under Xu Yang's own control.

In the company, he was responsible for real-time control of all equipment in the entire building. During his 6-year tenure experience, he suffered a total of 12 large-scale intrusions.

Xu Yang quietly followed these mercenaries, they got into an armed car, the engine roared, and quickly drove into the excavation camp.

He knew that all the traps in the excavation site were waiting for them to be triggered.
