Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 94 93. Finding a breakthrough is like rushing into someone else's mouth, right? (Sixth update)

Following the plan, Cypher loosened the fixtures on the ceiling almost instantly.

Falling all the way, many empty storage tanks being transported in the air were smashed. Seifer, like a dark cloud, brought the drone, which could only use energy weapons in such a place, and fell to the bottom.

Those dense beams of light hit Cypher, instantly creating several small holes in the armor plate.

The scattered light beams hit the glass capsules but failed to break their defenses - they were indeed a guarding force, they had everything planned out.

Landing heavily on the ground once again, Seifer felt the discomfort in his feet turn into unresponsiveness.

But it only takes a moment and can be used again immediately.

He made his way between the densely packed 'beehives'. The glass jars were his best cover. The communication range above his head was even longer, which meant he still couldn't get any help from above.

…As I was thinking this, a signal suddenly came in.

"Yo! How's it going? What fun am I missing out on?"

Tien's voice was the same as always, but an elevator at that height shouldn't be that fast... How did they do it?
"I can't hear what you're saying. Let me tell you first—someone gave me an extended-range communication device. Now I can send you a message unilaterally."

"Anyway, let me tell you the good news first. Our car has reached the bottom. The bad news is that there are a lot of blind creatures attacking us. I guess I'll have to carry a gun later."

"Okay, I'll contact you later."

While she was talking, the sound of gunfire from her side never stopped, giving Sefer a headache.

At the same time, Seifer was also surrounded and intercepted by those drones. After shooting down one, two more squeezed in, and he was finally forced to the bottom of this "beehive".

But it seemed that because he was backed by a large number of canisters with people inside, the drones only accumulated firepower and did not open fire.

As they approached, Cypher thought for a moment and pointed his gun at the sleeping man.

The things immediately stopped, as if evaluating.

Then they continued to move slowly forward.

Cypher fired immediately without hesitation, shattering a glass cover. The flying fragments scratched the person inside. He hadn't woken up yet, but a robotic arm immediately came over, took the person out, and put him in a new can.

The surrounding drones retreated suddenly as if frightened, and then circled regularly in a wide range above Cypher's head.

At the same time, the ground in front of his feet unfolded, and a device projected a light screen, and the audio cables in it began to vibrate.

"Dangerous behavior from an intruder detected, dispute mediation mode activated."

"Intruder, please calm down. Where are you from? Alternative answer 1: Snowpiercer. Alternative answer 2: Snowpiercer II."

Seifer said matter-of-factly: "I don't know."

“Confirm the language type. The type is known and there is no need to translate the model.”

……Um?

Leica asked doubtfully during the communication: "Red Crossbow, who are you talking to... and what is that code? Why are there only 0s and 1s?"

It was not until then that Sefer realized that what he heard and what he just said were all a series of numbers.

Binary language.

"Intruder, please answer: Why did you destroy the experimental site? Did the experiment cause you any physical or mental damage? If so, please provide the reason. If not, please provide the reason."

This negotiation system actually adopts a conciliatory policy?
"Before I answer your question, you need to answer mine - what are you planning to do by harvesting these people here?"

"Wrong answer, intruder. You have no right to ask questions. I repeat..."

This thing asked the same question again.

In this situation, Seifer keenly noticed that the drones above seemed to have changed their formation, and even the number of manned glass capsules nearby had decreased a lot.

"...The problem I'm facing cannot be conveyed through words alone. I need to connect directly to your main control."

"Negative, the intruder is armed."

Cypher instantly dropped the weapons in his hands and on his waist.

"Permission granted, intruder, please access the dedicated sending port." A device that looked like a host computer and had various interfaces and a keyboard rose from the ground.

Cypher calmly placed his hand on the console and said to the confused Leica, "You have a copy of the package Dr. Mei sent me earlier, right? Send it to me."

"oh oh……"

Unable to follow Seifer's train of thought, Leica blankly sent him the packet that she had saved for a long time.

Then forward it to this system.

As we all know, binary files are not necessarily the same system, but binary systems can certainly read more things and have strong compatibility, and executable files are naturally...

At that moment, this so-called 'dispute mediation' system fell into deep thought.

What is this thing? What is the information in it used for? Why is it constantly running?

Then, Seifer saw a crude square with white letters on a red background appear on the visual sound wave screen in front of him.

'Unfortunately! Your computer has been hijacked by us.'

'You now have 48 hours to transfer '2' bitcoins to this account. Remember, do not try to disconnect from the network, otherwise your important files will be lost forever!'

It's authentic and exactly the same. I don't know what kind of magic key Dr. Mei got... Anyway, it works.

The underground space that had been in perfect order just now suddenly came to a halt, all the lights flickered randomly, and even Tien, who was trying to break through the attacks of various mechanical monsters to prevent them from entering the car, found that the monsters had become disorganized!

She didn't know why this happened - but Tien knew to seize the opportunity.

She fired continuously, melting through a black machine, and waved to the back: "Hurry, hurry, you skinny guy, hurry up and take over!"

Lin Shenxue, who was almost exhausted, looked at her tiredly and silently joined in the suppression.

The already narrow car body was filled with these things, and the two men could only struggle to survive.

The car? It's being held down by several giant cranes. Who has time to worry about it?

Below, after successfully hacking into the broken system with the "super virus", Cypher ran away without hesitation, aiming for the hive in the middle.

He had already seen that these drones were desperately driving themselves here just to get as far away from that place as possible.

No matter how vast an area is, there must be a core.

Otherwise, it would be too absurd to manage such a huge area with only orderly or decentralized integrated management, even if it is an anomaly, it would be too absurd.

The dialog box was silent, as if it was trying hard to kill viruses, but for some reason, when it was killing more and more, Cypher had already sprinted to the bottom of the hive.

Without a second thought, Cypher unleashed a flying kick, the thick, heavy metal plate and its lining doing nothing to stop him.

With a teeth-grinding and head-scratching twisting sound, Cypher fell vertically from the middle of the hive with a large number of supporting columns.

This time, it wasn't some creepy underground facility. Instead, Cypher entered a massive computing facility surrounded by countless units and encased in an energy barrier.

The facility was running at high speed in silence, and even some computing devices had started to smoke.

After a moment, this thing finally sent the message directly to Sefer's eyes.

"Observer, do you want to terminate the project you are participating in?"

"what's the plan."

"Question detected, searching for answers: "Planetary Disorder Response Plan""

Sefsar was speechless for a moment and could only remain silent.

"This plan was reviewed and approved 946080 seconds ago and has been in operation to date. This project has not made any progress, and it has not yet produced any results. This project has been changed to maintain the status quo, namely: necessary external oppression will unite humanity."

So if you go out you will be hunted down by thousands of miles, is this to promote peace...?

　Thank you Emperor Leoric for the reward!
