Kill them in Cyberman!

Lucy's eyes flashed blue when she heard Albert's words.

"Yes, with the building as the center, the pollution range has been reduced to 53.22% of the original area, which is not enough to cause severe pollution in the entire Newland."

"Ding ~"

Just as Lucy finished speaking, the elevator door opened and the two arrived at the sixth underground floor.

Chapter 34 The Safest Way to Store

After walking out of the elevator, what appeared in front of the two was a whole wall of opaque glass.

"What is this sixth underground floor used for?"

Lucy looked at Albert in confusion. From her perspective, the walls here were equipped with a large number of electronic structures and alarm systems. The glass wall in front of her was not only incredibly thick and difficult to destroy, but also used extremely special protective materials, making it impossible for scans to penetrate.

"The sixth underground floor is used to store the company's important documents. Normally, no one comes down here, and you need relevant identity verification to enter."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, several scanning spectra were emitted from the probes on the four sides of the wall, passing through the bodies of the two people.

"Identity confirmed, Albert Hermes, vital signs, normal, highest priority..."

"drop!"

"Unidentified, unknown visitor, upload to record center"

"Warning, Albert Hermes, shall we sound the alarm?"

"No, open the security door."

"Top priority confirmed, security door unlocked."

After watching this set of operating procedures, Lucy frowned.

"With such strict security measures, what kind of confidential documents are kept here?"

"You'll know once you get in. Come to think of it, this is my first time here, too."

The center of the translucent wall slowly began to collapse in a grid-like pattern. About thirty seconds later, a door-shaped hole appeared in front of the two.

"Let's go in and have a look."

The two stepped into the real space of the sixth floor.

The gentle lights came on, illuminating the wide space layer by layer.

Rows of huge metal bookcases appeared in front of Lucy.

There was a light dust in the air, but neither of them paid any attention to it.

Lucy walked forward and casually took out a file from the bookcase.

"File No. 456, review records uploaded."

The electronic sound sounded in time.

"Paper materials? You spent so much money just to save some paper?"

Lucy looked at the paper in her hand, which was sealed with some binding substance, feeling a little unbelievable.

That's right, every file folder contains a large amount of this paper. The surface of the thin and fragile paper is sealed with a layer of transparent glue, just like an insect sealed in amber. The technology is extremely delicate. There is only a thin layer of glue, which does not increase the thickness too much, and at the same time greatly improves the toughness of the paper.

"File No. 579, review records uploaded"

Albert also took out a file and began to read it.

"Well, this is the first time I've seen a company store confidential files in this way."

"In today's world where computer technology is extremely advanced, this retro style really feels weird and out of place."

After putting the files back, Albert climbed down from the bookshelf. Even the ladders used on these bookshelves were old-fashioned telescopic ladders that needed to be pulled manually.

"Although this method is troublesome, the effect is also obvious, isn't it?"

Lucie and Albert continued to pass through the shelves.

"Only this retro method can almost perfectly preserve important confidential information in this era where hackers are rampant. The system server will only display the number specified for a certain piece of information, not the content."

"But is it really okay for me to just look at this information like this? Don't you care at all?"

Lucy asked tentatively.

"Why should I care?"

Seeing Albert's innocent look gave Lucy a headache.

After all, if you say he is stupid, he is really not stupid. If you say he is smart, sometimes he really doesn't care.

"Once these things are leaked, it will have a great impact on Hermes Technology."

"Yeah, you're right."

"You don't sound like you agree."

"Will you leak it then?"

The two looked at each other, and Lucie could see the "sincerity" in Albert's eyes.

She felt that her prosthetic heart slowed down by half a beat.

"Damn it, can you ask me something that won't embarrass me so much?"

Lucy's inner voice rang in Albert's ears.

"Although I don't want to admit it, at least up to now, we are all in the same boat. Even if I do this, I won't get any benefits."

Lucy quickly found an excuse for herself.

"Yeah, I thought so too. So what if I showed it to you?"

Albert smiled slightly and seemed very satisfied.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Who knows?"

Lucy: ???

……

It took them half an hour to walk through this huge "library".

However, there was basically no gain along the way, and Lucy's detection prosthesis did not detect any abnormalities.

"Is it true that the bomb doesn't exist?"

Even Lucy herself was a little shaken.

"Really? That's really... lucky."

"Hey, why do you look so disappointed?"

Lucy repeatedly checked the data she had collected while complaining about Albert's attitude.

The two were silent for about five minutes, Lucy's face expressionless and no emotion could be seen.

"It seems that there is no problem here. Even if the bomb exists, it is not nearby."

At this moment, Albert suddenly thought of something and said to Lucy with a look of joy, "Wait a moment, you have entered the Hermes Technology database before, so you should be able to enter it again now."

"Um... yes, that's right."

Lucy admitted somewhat embarrassedly that she had left a back door when she was a thief in case she needed it in the future.

"You should be able to dive deeper now."

"That's right. With Eros's ability and my skills, no firewall can stop me. Of course, if I encounter a physical firewall like yours, then I really have no way to stop it."

As she spoke, Lucy knocked on the metal bookshelf beside her.

"Then go into the deep database and check the serial number of the relevant information in 2043. After all, Kelun is a senior executive of the company. If there is any confidential information that is unknown to the public, it is likely stored here."

“Interesting idea.”

Lucy did it right away. She closed her eyes and, as a humanoid computer with a brain, she dived directly into cyberspace without any equipment.

About five minutes later, Lucy opened her ice-blue eyes.

"There are some clues. The numbers of the relevant data in 2043 are 1145-1150."

"Then let's go and have a look without further delay."

Chapter 35 Destroying Newland

In the underground archives

"1148, financial report on the construction of the Hermes Building?"

“Why is this thing placed here?”

Albert casually glanced at the contents of the information in his hand.

"Oh, maybe the parents abused their power and took money they shouldn't have, so they could only release a false report."

"Hmm? Then take a look at this report and see if there is any difference between it and the original record?"

Albert handed the information to Lucy.

Lucy put down the information in her hand in surprise.

"Eh, there's no difference at all. Is this just a paper copy?"

“Why would my parents put a copy of a financial report in an archive of this level?”

Albert muttered to himself as he picked up the document that Lucy had put down.

"1149, detailed records of the construction of Newland's underground facilities..."

"I have to say that at least your parents' generation was quite concerned about the construction of this city. Everything on the ground, underground, and in the air was inextricably linked to Hermes Technology."

Then, Lucy changed the subject.

"You black-hearted guys are like spiders, tightly entangling this city with your web."

"To suppress something, you must first praise it. I didn't expect you to know so much, Lucy."

Albert replied with a smile, not at all showing any anger.

"hehe."

Lucy not only failed to achieve her goal, but also ended up losing the rice. Seeing that her goal was not achieved, she began to feel a little annoyed.

"This is the last one, 1150, let me see."

"Report on geological structure exploration of Newland Bay and its surrounding waters?"

"Isn't Hermes Technology's main focus on biological research? Why did you start doing scientific research?"

"Research work?"

Albert was also a little confused, as he could not remember his parents ever mentioning such a thing.

"Geological research?"

"My parents didn't seem to pay attention to it, but the report appeared in this confidential archive."

"interesting."

Lucy was also intrigued by Albert's words. When something seems completely unreasonable, there must be some unknown truth behind it.

With the help of Eros, Lucy quickly calculated the data recorded in the report in front of her.

As the calculations progressed, Lucy began to frown, and then she picked up the two documents again.

After about seven minutes, Lucy put down the three documents and said to Albert with a serious expression: "Didn't Colen say before that he wanted the entire Newland to be buried with him?"

"Yes, that's true."

"He didn't lie."

"Albert, I will explain why in simple terms, in plain language."

Having said this, Lucy placed three documents in front of Albert.

"First, the data on geological structure. In fact, as early as your parents' generation, it was discovered that during the construction of the city, a large amount of resources were collected, and the geological structure of Newland Bay and its surrounding waters became loose to a certain extent."
