Kill them in Cyberman!

"Ha, it's hard to say. Maybe she's worried that if we don't do what the woman said, she might track us down in the future. Or maybe since she's indirectly helping us, it's understandable that I help her this time."

"I didn't expect that all mercenaries nowadays are as compassionate as you?"

Lucy smiled. It seemed that she still didn't understand Hugo well enough.

"Who knows? Maybe it's the environment that changes people."

……

"Very good……"

Seeing that the server was finally online, S felt secretly delighted, but at the same time, he also felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

"How could you do such a thing! This is betrayal! This is betrayal to your beloved master!"

"You damned thing, stupid piece of trash!"

Sweat appeared on S's forehead and she couldn't control her breathing. Her mind told her that she shouldn't do this.

"It's okay, just take a look. Anyway, it's already been done, just confirm it. You are doing this for the comfort of the young master, right? Think about your beloved master, the perfect master. Can you bear to let him be defiled by such a disgusting guy?"

Another voice sounded in S's heart. Images of Albert kept flashing through her mind, including his profile in a bathrobe while resting and playing on the bed, his naturally cute sleeping face, his elegant posture while drinking tea and eating, and his hard work while working... Well, there really is no such thing.

"Ding!"

A video opened on the virtual small screen, which was the surveillance video of the 5024 lounge after the meeting that day.

Chapter 11 Hot Potato

The disappearance of sunlight is not a reason for a cyber city to stop being noisy, but it just covers it with a layer of neon veil.

At night, the city of Newland is more nakedly exposed to everyone.

Just one day of getting along is not enough to understand a person's character, especially for mercenaries who have been struggling in this chaotic world.

Lucy warned herself.

"Hey, girl, are you nervous?"

Since getting in the car, the atmosphere has been extremely quiet. Carloen was driving and he usually seldom spoke. Even Lucy became silent at this moment, which made Hugo, the talkative big guy, very depressed.

Lucy slapped away Hugo's hand and rolled her eyes at him.

"You might lose your life soon, and you're still thinking about chatting. You might as well focus on the mission."

"Haha, you're wrong. People in our line of work are on the edge of a knife every day. We never know when we might die. It's better to say a few more words now and don't mistreat ourselves."

"Don't leave yourself with regrets, right?"

Hearing Hugo's tone suddenly soften, Lucy looked up at him and found that this man's face actually showed a touch of true emotion.

"Why, you're suddenly being sentimental?"

"Well, it's nothing. We all have to fight for something in life. I still have a family..."

Just as Hugo was about to say something, Carloen, who was in the front driver's seat, suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"We're already here, Institute Zero. Stay alert and don't talk too much. You only have one chance."

Hugo's expression suddenly became serious, as if everything that had just happened was just Lucy's hallucination.

"Let's go, wish us good luck!"

The vehicle continued to move forward and was soon stopped by a checkpoint.

"Vehicles ahead please show your identification!"

Carlon opened the front window and handed over three ID cards.

Then, the access control system scanned the entire van.

"by!"

"Ding!--"

But the next second, a shrill red alarm suddenly sounded. The three people in the car were horrified, and Lucy was even more unbelievable.

"Ding! Ding!"

Before the three of them could escape, two more bells rang, green lights flashed, and the checkpoint slowly opened.

According to the plan, the three of them passed the checkpoint safely.

"Good job, Lucy."

Seeing that the false information finally worked, Hugo couldn't help but praise Lucy's hacking skills.

"Ah."

Lucy just nodded lightly. The accident just now made her a little worried because it shouldn't have sounded an alarm.

The vehicle drove into the warehouse, and three people in work clothes carrying equipment boxes entered the No. 0 Institute through the side employee passage.

At this moment in the mansion, Albert was looking at the new email on his tablet. It was a warning from Dr. Helen.

In an encrypted email, Dr. Helen told Albert that the information about Eros had been known by Colen. Although he could not do anything openly, he would definitely want to take away the master key to the cyber world in secret.

Previously, Dr. Helen ignored Colen's conspiracy because she didn't care about it at all. But now that she has a master, she must tell Albert about this matter and let him decide.

"Alas, this Eros is really a hot potato."

"S, please go over there tonight and help Dr. Helen check the potential safety risks in the Zero Research Institute, and then bring Eros back to me."

Albert now fully realized what a hot potato Eros was. Fortunately, only a few people knew about its existence, otherwise it would have been enough to make a Mission Impossible movie.

"But in this way, Master, your safety may be at risk..."

Obviously, S, who put Albert first, did not agree with his master's request.

"Don't worry, the mansion is protected by personal guards. As long as it's not above board, it's one of the few places in the world with security comparable to the Black Palace (USA)."

Albert was still quite confident about his mansion. Besides, he himself was not a normal person. It could be said that it was the most difficult thing in the world to take Eros away from him.

"Your will."

S, who was standing behind Albert, stepped back quickly. Even though she was extremely disgusted with Dr. Helen now, she would still carry out her master's orders without hesitation.

Of course, our trio of cyberthieves here have no idea what they are about to face.

"After studying the map, I found that this employee passage is usually used to transport various scientific research wastes. Therefore, people only pass through it on certain days. In addition, due to the confidentiality of the research project of the institute, there are no surveillance cameras."

"We can go directly to the floors where the various laboratories are located through the elevator here."

Carlon analyzed as the three of them hurried on their way.

"Laboratory? Where is the computer room?"

"The computer room is on the third underground floor, between Lab 3 and Lab 2, but I don't have a map of the underground floors, so I don't know what's going on there."

"What are you going to do?"

As it concerned her own safety, Lucy asked.

"We can first take the elevator to Laboratory No. 3 on the second underground floor, and then take the stairs there to enter the computer room."

"Let's do it this way. Success or failure depends on this one move!"

Hu Ge couldn't help but rub his hands.

If, as Carloen expected, this employee passage was usually unused, the three of them would not have met anyone along the way.

When we arrived at Laboratory No. 3, there were only a few researchers walking around in it.

Although the uniforms of the three employees were somewhat out of place here, the researchers, who were accustomed to the moody leader Dr. Helen, were no longer surprised by this.

"Good, these corporate dog nerds don't suspect us at all."

"Quiet! As long as the mission is not completed, we will not be considered successful!"

Before Carlon could scold Hugo, Lucy spoke first. She didn't know why she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Ever since the abnormality in the access control of the previous checkpoint, this strange feeling has been eroding her, making her nerves extremely tense.

After entering the third underground floor, the three people were in trouble because they were blocked by a door. Yes, the door of the computer room was locked as expected.

"Damn it! Why would anyone use such an old-fashioned mechanical lock in this day and age?"

Hugo frowned. Although this old-fashioned mechanical lock was easy to open physically, they didn't dare to bet whether this door was connected to any independent alarm device.

"Wait, there's still a way to get in."

Carlos, who had been looking at the floor plan on the other side, spoke up. He said to Lucy, "There should be an external part in the escape passage over there that is directly connected to the ventilation duct inside the machine room. People of your size can enter the machine room through there."

The three of them quickly came to the escape passage on this floor, where a thin ventilation duct was hanging from the ceiling.

"Okay, great. Now I'm glad you're a little girl and not a fat otaku. Do you want me to take you upstairs?"

"No need, I can go up by myself. You guys go find out the way to the last underground level first."

……

About two or three minutes later, Lucy's voice came from Hugo and Carlon's terminals.

"The elevator to the last floor goes directly there. I have already determined its location. You need to follow my instructions and avoid the electronic security facilities in the passage."

"clear?"

"understand!"

Hugo and Carlon opened the equipment box and took out two small and exquisite pistols.

"To be honest, I prefer using something big rather than this little toy."

"Stop complaining so much and focus on the mission!"

Chapter 12 Real Damage

After accessing the server, Lucy began to infiltrate cyberspace. According to the plan, the first step was to hack into all the cameras that could be hacked.

Through these surveillance cameras that she had turned "enemies into friends", Lucy cleverly helped Hugo and Carloen avoid security forces that might cause trouble.

As the two mercenaries advance, Lucy's hacking of the cameras gradually shifts, disabling control of previously hacked cameras while regaining control of new ones.

"It seems that we have a good understanding of each other and there has not been a single mistake. If there is a next time, I would like to work with you two. What do you think?"

"If there is a next time."

Carloen replied coldly.

"okay……"

As if he thought of something, Hugo's mood suddenly became a little low, and there was even a bit of struggle in his eyes.

"The next step is the most critical part..."

"The security system on the last underground floor is more complete than I thought. In order to avoid being discovered, I can only make part of the system inoperable for a short period of time. Therefore, you must find item 2501 and take it away before the system is restored."

"How long exactly?"

Carron inquired.

"According to my estimate, it should take about three and a half minutes, estimating the elevator's descent speed."

Looking at the dark progress bar in front of her, Lucy expressed her expectations.

"Three and a half minutes is enough. Let's go now."

Hugo quickly pressed the button on the elevator, and the elevator slowly closed and then fell vertically downward, like a one-way train to hell.

During the process, Lucy also completed hacking into the camera of the last floor laboratory. The scene that appeared in front of her made her pupils shrink.

"Damn it, where are they?!"

"Oh no, we have to inform Hugo and Carloen immediately!"

Hugo, who was fiddling with the gun in his hand, suddenly heard Lucy's voice in his ears.

"Hugo, Carloen, you have to stop the elevator quickly, there are people down there!!"

Hugo, Carloen: "What?!"

Hugo hurriedly pressed the elevator button, but it was a direct elevator and there were no floors to stop at.

"OMG, we're about to run into the enemy's face, Carlon!"
