Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 534 533. Everyone has sufficient reasons to carry out their tasks!

Seifer's shot was not random, he accurately penetrated some of the opponent's key pipelines, reducing its body control ability.

Then he used communication instead of broadcasting to attract the mercenary system to establish a channel with him - although there was a filtering firewall here, there was no physical connection!
While telling it this cruel reality, the injected virus program (Dr. Mei's modified VI version) was instantly uploaded to its computing core.

Before the mercenary system could react, a huge black and red window popped up and occupied all of its operating terminals.

Letter: I'm sorry, your important files have been hijacked by me. Please stay connected to the Internet and pay '2' @ coins to the following account, and they will be unlocked.

If you don't do this within 48 hours, unfortunately, your data will be...

The mercenary system paid two @ coins without hesitation and said, "Mercenary, you are very brave, but unfortunately, this is a virus from the vision. This system has this kind of program from the vision..."

Before he could finish his words, the machine suddenly stiffened and could no longer be controlled. After paying the price, the virus was not eliminated but instead replicated rapidly, even starting to contaminate the computing core of the mercenary system along the upstream channel.

Cypher smiled and said, "The weirdest thing about this virus is that it has to have that window pop up. If you cancel it, it won't work. But no matter how much you modify it, as long as that window is there, it will work... Absurd, isn't it?"

Even changing the text above is possible, but the window cannot be deleted. Sefer doesn't understand the program very well, so he doesn't make any comments.

The mercenary system must have suffered from program intrusions before, so after failing to prevent the invasion in the first place, it immediately cut off the connection between the machine and the main system.

The process was completed almost instantly. The mercenary system asked in a slightly difficult voice: "This is the only thing... that cannot be stopped..."

"How can you know if you don't try? It's like you have a ship this big, even its size is exaggerated..."

Sever paused, then continued, "It can use such a huge torrent of visions as an energy input port, and it uses vision energy. Doesn't this also mean that vision energy is controllable?"

The mercenary system did not answer. It did not want to give up this machine for the time being. After all, it was very troublesome and time-consuming to manufacture.

Once we give up, it means that the mercenaries in front of us will be able to march straight in and do whatever they want on this "distant planet".

Cypher considered this for a few seconds. "In any case, I don't think it's as extreme as you're suggesting... You speculate that the planet will be completely enveloped by the energy of the anomaly, and then transported away as if entering the anomaly."

"And if it collides with something during this process, causing an irreversible disaster, even if it returns to the outside of the anomaly, it's not something a weak human can withstand, right?"

Seeing that he actually repeated his previous words, the mercenary system issued several false alarms, trying to get the body to move.

But unfortunately, it can't do that.

"I think you shouldn't have gotten so estranged from the company from the beginning. So since you have the technology to utilize the energy of the anomaly, why don't you use it?"

"Is it because a civilization once did this and ended up getting sliced up, or is it because you think the human mind is too flexible to be controlled, and it's best to control it?"

This question hit the nail on the head. The mercenary system... let's just call it that... didn't remain silent, but replied: "This is for... the continuation of all mankind..."

Perhaps its underlying programming is designed this way, or perhaps it believes that everything it does is just - even if it is a bit extreme.

At this moment, the machines that were fighting on the 'distant planet' all felt that their bodies had become exceptionally light, and they could even fly freely with a slight push.

Although they had no training in space combat, the corporate mercenaries reacted immediately, adapted their propulsion methods, and continued to fight with the things in front of them.

The latest group of people are about to break into the outer corridor of the fortress. Although there are multiple layers of defense structures inside, this ship is unique. Once damaged, even the mercenary system will not be able to accept it.

After a brief standoff with Cypher, the mercenary system chose to communicate: "Independent mercenary... Red Crossbow, your cognition is clearer than most, but you chose to gamble." "The explosion of abnormal energy allowed humans to appear on this planet, allowing human civilization to continue, develop, and even grow. Even if it went in another direction, it doesn't matter."

"Whether a new outbreak will bring despairing destruction or a final outcome is beyond the system's ability to predict. For the sake of safety, it is more appropriate to keep humanity in a safe state for now."

After all, it's impossible to change a plan that's been in the works for so many years, and besides...

Cypher suddenly looked above the ship.

In the dark and lonely sky, in areas where the sun has not yet reached, you can see a glowing sphere.

The first one is closer, it is the satellite of this planet and also the first moon.

The second one is a little further away and is also a satellite. At this time, the third, farthest planet, which is often obscured by the first two satellites, appears at the angle between the two.

When looking at it from the ground, it was still a little blurry, but when looking at it from here, Seifer suddenly realized something.

"Is that the crisis and uncertainty you mentioned?"

In the sky, the third 'satellite' looks hazy. If you observe carefully and diligently, you will find that the haziness comes from its unreality.

It’s like there are two spherical models and a texture in front of you. At first glance, you may think that there is nothing special, but you can easily notice it if you look carefully.

"…The energy of the anomaly exists within this planet and the space it emanates from. Four hundred years ago in the planet's calendar, there were no 'satellites' there."

In other words, if the energy of the vision continues to expand, and when it covers the entire planet, whether that thing becomes real, or this planet goes into the space of that thing... it's quite terrifying.

The tidal gravity of the planet is a great force that cannot be controlled by human power. Sefer doesn't know whether the "slice" in the vision space can be healed by then, but without the vision gate to fix this place, it will definitely die.

For a moment, Seifer wanted to ask something like, "Is it too late for me to join now?" But on second thought, he seemed to have vaguely grasped a key point.

"Can I ask you a question before this machine collapses?"

"Independent mercenary Red Crossbow... you have a lot of problems."

"You also came from a vision, right? Didn't you call it a mercenary system in the past?"

"Since its inception, this system has been designed to sustain human existence. There's no such thing as 'coming from a vision'."

It turned out to be the case.

As Seifer fired his shot without hesitation, the electric needles that had been charging for too long roared.

A blinding golden light instantly filled the platform, piercing through the machine in front of him. At the same time, having successfully defeated the powerful enemy, Cypher rushed towards the giant eyeball...

The lower part is shaped like a polygonal coffin, a completely different area from the other structural modules.

At least, that place should be the main control.
