Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Some people are happy and some are worried. This is exactly the state of people after the four major companies launched the four major inventions. Because of his brother's death, Zhuang Xuteng was not optimistic about the four great inventions emotionally. However, most people in society, especially after receiving a lot of news and advertising, have a positive attitude towards the four great inventions.

Whether good or bad, right or wrong, these four things are indeed technological progress and development, and they also mean new business opportunities. Zhuang Xuteng pays more attention to the automobile industry, while Ge Gongdao uses a little more attention on safety blue, and the execution of puppet and shadow copying techniques is also not bad. The first few days of the expo are open to manufacturers and industry customers. Various orders and business cooperation are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fields involved and the ways of exerting efforts are becoming more and more abundant.

Most of these companies are related to the four major group companies. If you dig into the equity relationship, you can more or less become relatives. Zhuang Xuteng thought that the four major group companies would definitely make arrangements in advance and have already distributed various operating powers and interests, with his group of people accounting for the majority. In fact, there is no need for the four major groups to lay out the plan. Just looking at these companies that have gathered together, it is impossible for the main interests to fall into the hands of others.

Even the dullest person can feel the dawn of the new era, and Zhuang Xuteng will not miss this opportunity to collect information. He discussed it with three people in the team, and everyone agreed that the car was still just a tool, not a radical change; the safety blue thing should be treated as a substitute for the blue crystal if it can be left untouched. . There is too little information released about the technology of executing puppets, and the purple-skinned man is not on display outside, so it can be left alone. As a mercenary, the most important thing to pay attention to must be shadow copying technology.

Shadow Cong, a magical substance mined from the shadow world, is divided into active and fixed states (always sounds better than "death"). Among them, the active shadows often carry a lot of magical power, as if the effects of various spells, divine arts and the power of the gods can be caused during the period when the gods are still there. The top active shadow slaves are basically in the hands of the four major groups, and are made into tools by them, or implanted, or turned into shadow slave devices, as physical signs of top power.

Shadow slaves have always been collected through excavation, and the quantity has never been enough. The insufficiency here mainly refers to active shadow slaves and stationary shadow slaves with a relatively high degree of energy accumulation. Their main uses are various implants and top-level shadow slaves. Worse shadows, that is, those used as simple shadow chips and used as shadow energy, do not have a shortage in quantity.

Compared with the already popular imaging chip equipment, implants and advanced imaging equipment are still very rare, and rare things are more expensive. There is a huge demand for implants in society, including hard demands for medical treatment and some enjoyment demands for improving the quality of life. It is said that some implants can extend life. This feature is very attractive in any era. The real problem is how to meet the demand.

In the past, only shadow splitting technology could turn active shadows into dead ones, one into seven or eight. Exchanging function for quantity and placing it on a top-level active shadow is called a crime of waste. However, splitting the relatively low-end fixed-state shadows into shadow energy and simple chips is not too distressing, and can be called commercial operation.

The shadow copying technology developed by Today's Group is on another level entirely: any active shadow can be replicated at once, splitting into eight to ten shadows of the same nature. These copied images cannot be directly copied again, but they can be maintained using certain methods that are also commercial secrets so that they can be copied again after a certain period of time. According to today's group disclosure, when it is copied again, the number of new slaves will decrease, and the costs of re-"warming" will be greatly increased.

"There is still room for further advancement and improvement in technology. Today's Group expects to double the number of replicas within ten years." The news media reported: "Basically, the extreme shortage of active films has been effectively alleviated, and ordinary films have been supply will no longer be an issue."

Top-level active imaging is far away from ordinary people's lives. Medical implants are the technical ceiling that everyone can touch, and their supply is expected to be unlimited. This alone is expected to increase everyone's average life span by three to five years, and some people who need new organs and replacement body parts can also receive help, thus greatly improving the quality of life.

Ge Gongdao was very worried about this. He felt that he might never see his real face again and hold Tianran's hand. Regarding this statement, Zhuang Xuteng and three other people wrote it down in their notebooks and were ready to complain to Prince at any time. Ge Gongdao had to beg for mercy and treat his partner to dinner in exchange for peace in the rest of his life and lower body.

"You should pay more attention to see if there is a way to solve the problem of your brain implants." Zhuang Xuteng said to the two sisters: "I think the group will definitely release a batch of advanced active imaging slave implants today to show off. Their technical strength. Maybe there are good things in it."

Nightingale shook his head and said: "I think the possibility is very small. None of the information snoopers like us are doing legitimate business. Even if there is a better solution, the company will not make it public. This is our fate. The more I think about it, the greater my disappointment."

"There is no way, the reality is like this. The sooner we give up hope, the sooner we can put down our burdens and enjoy life." Yanque held her chin, looked at Zhuang Xuteng, and said: "It is difficult for the two of us to have more implants, but you two It looks very relaxed, and I can definitely continue to install it. Oh, by the way, Naike, have you noticed the booth of Today Group?"

"What are you talking about? Five identical active shadow followers, or a set of limb-strengthening implants?"

"Both." Yanque waved his hand and said: "Those exactly the same shadow implants are easy to use and cheap, but are there no problems at all? From the actual use experience of the two of us, the exact same implants are There is something wrong with the body.”

"Huh? What's the problem?" Zhuang Xuteng was confused: "You two have exactly the same implants?"

Nightingale took over the topic and said: "Our two brain implants are not exactly the same, but we have worked together to grind the implants to a very similar level. Yanque, that is exactly the same as the implant The body is not the same concept, and the sensory and emotional understanding between the two of us is not necessarily due to the implant, but may also be the result of joint training. Your worries are too far ahead."

"Okay, what you said makes sense, but I reserve my opinion. Just treat me as superstitious!" Yanque shrugged and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "In short, it is best to install identical sets of implants on your own. body, or put it on someone you will never meet, otherwise there may be problems.”

Zhuang Xuteng smiled. He just wanted to listen to the conversation and did not need to express any opinions. Only in the areas where he has conducted research does he really have a say: "Although there are more implants, the problem of side effects is still there, so the maintenance needs of the implants are greater. I noticed Today’s group’s commentator is hinting at the implant care shop, do you have any news about this?”

"As soon as the expo is over, Peicheng will take the lead in starting the construction of implant maintenance stores. Both regulations and administrative approvals are ready." Yanque snapped his fingers and said: "Our approval number is on the previous day. One hundred, we will definitely be among the first batch to open. Guess whose credit is this?"

"You two spied into the city government's information network?" Ge Gongdao asked, his eyes widening.

"No, for the sake of approval, we will not do such dangerous things. We just spent some money... we can solve it with money, we don't need..." Yanque smiled sweetly, as if he wanted to get praise from his parents. children. But suddenly, her smile disappeared and her expression became nervous. So does the nightingale.

"Someone is blocking the network and directly suppressing the information. I can't tell where the source is. I just know it's awesome!" Nightingale immediately grabbed her sister's hand and said, "There's no need to fight this. Exit the connection. Quick!"

Yanque persisted for five seconds longer, until her nostrils slowly started to bleed. She sighed and said: "What a powerful technology, there is no way to fight back. Naike, here - thank you, a little nosebleed is nothing, no need to wipe it - the network here has been completely taken over, any information that passes through It's all being monitored. I think encrypted communications are just as insecure."

"Information suppression is often a sign of the beginning of some kind of action." Nightingale frowned, feeling very worried. "Naike, I suggest that we leave here immediately."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and agreed to the suggestion without hesitation. The four people stood up and walked out quickly. Since all information networks have been taken over and encrypted communications are not secure, they are unable to notify other Lucy's mercenaries. They could only send a simple message in sign language to a few familiar mercenaries they met directly on the way out, and the content was something like "evacuate, avoid".

On the way out, Zhuang Xuteng kept thinking, and he identified the "Gardener Organization" as the most suspicious object. Those guys can blow up a TV station building, and they can definitely attack an exhibition. Moreover, the Gardeners organization and the riot squad are inseparable, making it very convenient to take action.

But can they take advantage under the nose of the company's business development department? This is doubtful.

The four people quickly got into the car, started it and drove away, but were stopped at the exit of the parking lot. The ones who intercepted them were not the PCPD on duty in the field or the patrolling riot squad, nor the idle mercenaries, but the managers of the Dingxin Magic Business Development Department. The reason why they were able to identify them from the featureless and identical men in black was thanks to an "acquaintance": Cassandra.

That strong woman left an indelible impression on Zhuang Xuteng during the battle with the Wild Monkey Gang. Zhuang Xuteng could not mistake her appearance, her strength, and her voice. Now, Cassandra, headed by four other men in black clothes, raised their hands to signal Zhuang Xuteng and the others to pull over and stop the car.

"Stop and wait!" said the company's business development department: "Turn off the engine, sit in the car and don't get out, put your hands where we can see!"

Ge Gongdao rolled down the window, showed his charming and friendly smile again, and said: "What happened? We left the parking lot, we can turn on the highway and go home, we won't be in the way of anyone, right?" ?”

"After receiving the order, the road is blocked. You must wait here."

"Then...it will be very hot inside the car after the engine is turned off. Can we go back?"

The person in front of the car looked back at Cassandra, who snorted coldly. Her calves were slightly stretched, and she suddenly rushed to the side of the cab of the car. She pressed her palm on Ge Gongdao's face, and then pushed him, causing Ge Gongdao to tilt toward the passenger side.

Nightingale and Yanque both exclaimed, and Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly supported Ge Gongdao's body. Cassandra's eyes swept across the car, and a shadow similar to the Eye of Shadow came over from the energy wave. "A few mercenaries...there's so much nonsense..." Cassandra pinched her fingers, looking a little impatient. She felt that she could kill the four guys in front of her with just a few punches, but it would take a lot of energy to clean up the scene. Finally, she snorted softly, waved her hands and said, "You're lucky. Now reverse the car and go back the way you came. Don't go near this road."

Ge Gongdao curled his neck and nodded repeatedly, and was busy reversing the car. The car was swaying a little, as if the driver was drunk. After they found an empty parking space nearby and parked, Zhuang Xuteng quickly got out of the car, walked around to the driver's seat, and changed down the Gonggong Road.

Cassandra snorted, leaving a contemptuous smile.

Zhuang Xuteng moved Ge Gongdao to the back row, squeezed in with the two sisters, and then returned to the driver's seat. He secretly took a look at the situation of the men in black in the company, and when he saw that they were no longer paying attention to him, he tilted his mouth and made two "tsk tsk" sounds. After hearing this, Ge Gongdao lost his expression of frustration, pain, and sluggishness, slowly exhaled, and asked, "Am I doing okay?"

"You overacted." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Your neck is so thick, you won't get a concussion if you push it. Fortunately, Cassandra didn't become suspicious."

"Oh! You two..." Nightingale and Yanque looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. "I was scared to death. I thought something had happened to Brother Dao! Men are very good at lying, especially when it comes to lying to women."

"It is better to do less than to do more, especially when there is no benefit." Ge Gongdao explained: "If I show a confrontational attitude, she will definitely continue to increase her strength - let her not be embarrassed. Naike, do you feel that she How's the speed and burst?"

"You can react." Zhuang Xuteng lowered his voice and said, "It's fortunate that we were stopped by them first. I've seen Cassandra before, so I had a forewarning in my mind, so I could react. You made a good choice. You pretended not to react immediately. Move with her power.”

"Hey, I just felt that we couldn't fight, so I gave in. Cassandra didn't use all her strength, otherwise she would hit us, and we would have to fly out even with the people and the car! Nike, it seems like this guy is specially guarding here. Highways, you see they're always looking away. I guess someone's coming, either a VIP or some unlucky guy who's about to get knocked to pieces."

"They are probably VIPs. If we want to set up an ambush, Cassandra can be further away." Zhuang Xuteng patted the steering wheel with both hands and said, "As long as it is not the gardener organization that bombed the venue."
