Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Xiao Liu's eyes turned cold.

"Third brother, is this your plan?"

The third brother held on to Xiaoliu and said, "Don't blame me, brother. If you weren't forced into a hurry, no one would want to be a bastard."

Now that the matter has come to this, Xiao Liu doesn't want to waste any more time: "Give me your reward after it has been cleared."

The third brother tugged at the corner of his mouth and forced a smile: "Okay."

The two knew that they would never meet again, and that this was their last collaboration. The third brother let go of his hand and handed Xiao Liu an old-fashioned micro solid-state drive.

Xiao Liu took the thumb-sized hard drive, looked through it twice, and frowned: "No one used this kind of thing hundreds of years ago, and it is not compatible with current equipment. What are you doing with this thing?"

The third brother continued to lead him down: "Don't underestimate the role of old objects. This tower has been built a long time ago, and the computer underneath that controls the flashing signal is still the same structure as before."

This touches on Xiaoliu's blind spot. An organization like the Unknown Exploration Command Center, which is at the forefront of applied technology, actually uses such backward, even "ancient" technology?

"Anyway, I need you to go in through the heat dissipation channel and help me download a complete flash code."

"Yeah." Xiao Liu nodded, thinking about the purpose behind the other person's doing this.

The flashing signal from the tower provides target locations for some spacecraft that have lost navigation in deep space, and plays a role similar to a lighthouse. In order to prevent the jump channels from tearing and colliding with each other, in addition to the public fixed-frequency positioning broadcast, each spacecraft sent out to perform a mission has a set of dedicated flash codes to correct the relative position with the outpost tower in emergencies.

The outpost tower is responsible for search and rescue tasks. Once their flash code is leaked, it means that people other than them can also simulate the outpost tower and send signals outside the star network to induce the spacecraft to park.

If you think about it further, if the flash code of the command center is deciphered, it can in turn disrupt the positioning between them and the dispatched spacecraft, causing the command center to lose control of these spacecrafts.

Xiao Liu pinched the hard drive, but couldn't figure out who would benefit from this.

Could it be some kind of terrorist organization?

He took a deep breath. This is the shortcoming of a low-level swordsman like him.

There was so much critical information that was beyond his reach. He only knew that the outpost was an exploration agency set up to face unknown threats from outside the territory, and he also knew some unknown "secrets", but he wanted to know if there was anything going on under the command center, or if there was anything like that outside the territory. Top secret," he said with a dark look.

These things cannot be obtained by relying on some intelligence and vision. Probably only people of Zheng Rong's level can see the whole picture.

"The entrance has been opened. There are still three hours until the next heat dissipation. Please hurry up."

The third brother patted Xiao Liu's back, then turned sideways to reveal a narrow and small hole.

Xiaoliu curled his lips - no wonder he had to be asked to come. Only children can get into such a large pipe, so there are no real patrols along the way.

"It's agreed, half of it." Xiao Liu put on a soft and close-fitting breathing mask, took off his coat, stretched his head, and dug in through the pipe.

"Don't worry!" Third Brother lowered his voice.

The pipe is very humid. Since it is a path for heat dissipation, the natural temperature is not low, and it is even a little hot. Xiaoliu's tights were soon soaked with sweat, and he mentally shortened the task time to one hour - without him, if he really followed the three-hour time limit given by the third brother, he would probably suffocate in this pipe.

Xiaoliu was crawling inside, and Third Brother was guarding outside. The smile on his face was gone.

He glanced at the time and secretly decided to give Xiaoliu something more when the task was completed.

As for himself?

Being able to break away from this organization that eats people without spitting out their bones is already much better.

The person who issued the mission to steal the flash code to Third Brother is currently repairing his body.

This is not a treatment, but a collective name for a set of beauty techniques, including skin and hair care, muscle grooming, hormone adjustment, genetic disease resistance, etc. In order to stay in good condition at all times, body repair has become a routine that Secretary Lin has to do every quarter.

"Master, you have one hundred and seventeen new messages." The smart butler reminded him gently.

"Are you done?" Lin Heng said to the two carders who had been busy for an hour with his eyes closed.

"It's over." One of them covered his back with a soft bath towel and quietly exited the room.

Lin Heng turned on the privacy mode and blocker in the suite, and said to the butler: "Screen out important content."

A second later, a projection of the to-do list appeared in front of him.

"The screening is complete. You have a total of: twenty-six important pieces of information, forty-seven pieces of secondary information, and forty-four pieces of irrelevant information."

Lin Heng then opened his eyes and browsed.

The information that Zheng Rong asked about his progress was placed on the secondary list, and reports from several energy and rare mineral industry stars appeared on the homepage.

These industrial stars are all concentrated in the same galaxy. They were independent areas that were connected to each other before the establishment of the empire. In the early days of the establishment of the empire, in order to take over them and obtain a large amount of rare resources, a lot of money was paid. It is only now that industrial technology has revolutionized, and this area has gradually Marginalization.

Before Zheng Rong, there were three agents who were promoted to important positions. He was the fourth and the one with the highest position. These old industry stars had high hopes for him, but they did not expect that when Zheng Rong came up, he would He began to get close to the new party, turned his attention to new technologies and the development of new star fields, and left their old things behind.

Secretary Lin was pushed up by them in order to monitor this "white-eyed wolf".

Lin Heng initially thought he was their next target for training, but he realized his situation only after being tricked by Zheng Rong several times. And his decision was to fight for a position.

If those old guys can push Zheng Rong to power, why can't he, Lin Heng? Anyway, he usually does Zheng Rong's work.

Lin Heng looked through these reports and felt quite proud. Judging from the content, the document he received was obviously more detailed than the one Zheng Rong received. The independent managers of each planet also specially added an evaluation document, asking him to evaluate the current quarter of each planet based on its performance. Resource situation to matchmaking.

Talking about business is very troublesome. Lin Heng only looks at the results and does not do it himself. He would use his position to directly give authority to these matters. Sometimes he would give them some key information and then let them go to other star regions to negotiate on their own.

After sorting out these important daily information, Lin Heng stretched his body a little, wrote down the accounts and returned to his ship. Only then did he free up his hands to deal with private and more important matters.

"I got the thing." The third brother sent a message to Lin Heng, "Send me the coordinates."

Lin Heng was very satisfied with his efficiency: "Sent it, I'll wait for you for an hour."

The third brother hummed and stretched his head to look into the pipe. He was panting heavily and was crawling out step by step.

"Hurry!" he shouted in a low voice, "heat dissipation is ahead of schedule!"

When Xiao Liu heard this, all the hairs on his body stood up. He didn't want to bake a cake!

"Pull me up!" Xiaoliu stretched out his hand and just grabbed the third brother when he heard an alarm suddenly sounded outside. The third brother pulled hard and Xiaoliu's arm was dislocated, causing him to lie on the ground in pain. Can't get up.

"Come on, they have the right to kill." The third brother took the hard drive from Xiaoliu's hand and then helped him up. Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and spat, then lay obediently on the third brother's back, waiting for him to carry him out.

The third brother moved very quickly, taking advantage of the fact that the protective door was still in the alarm period and was not completely locked. He returned to the ground from the original path, and then jumped on the public airship heading to the exhibition hall.
