People gathered around the cars out of curiosity. The NYPD was not there. Although I thought it was just an ordinary vehicle accident and traffic would be restored soon.

Frank said he wanted to take some photos for reference, but he ended up taking a picture of a horrible, disgusting, and perverted scene. People around him cried out in shock, but they all held up their phones to take pictures.

Three people fell in the middle of the road, the ground was covered with blood. The attacker was a middle-aged black man about 30 years old.

He did not bite his victims, but tore them apart with his fingers and hands.

My hands are shaking. I don't know how to describe it, and I don't even want to mention the scene I took.

But this is my job. The people from the Emergency Agency are lying, and we need to let others know. We cannot remain silent.

At this time, two young men couldn't bear to watch and ran up, trying to pull the murderer away and control him.

Hell, they were all killed by that young murderer who acted like an old man.

The throats of the two young men were crushed, their faces were covered in blood, and one of them had his abdomen ruthlessly torn open.

Faced with this chaotic scene, everyone fell into a state of hysteria.

Some people cried and screamed loudly, some said like crazy that the CIA had been monitoring them for more than ten years, and some people pointed a gun at their own head and committed suicide.

Frank took two photos and then threw up, and I wanted to do the same thing.

The black man who looked like a voodoo zombie suddenly became manic and staggered towards the woman on the side of the road who hadn't reacted.

Now the situation is serious. Is it really just a hallucination caused by drug overdose as Dr. Louis claims?

I do not believe!

After several minutes, the police drove over, and the scattered people gathered together again..."

Chapter 43: Marathon with a Visible Future

“…According to previous practice, the police would have driven away the crowd, but there were only three people in total.

However, what surprised us was that people at that time seemed to have forgotten that the greenback virus was spreading. Except for the two of us reporters who attended the press conference of the Garden Shelter Clinic, no one else wore personal protective equipment.

Oh, yes, when the three policemen showed up, they seemed not to notice the chaotic situation at the scene - the thug was kneeling beside the woman's body, stirring her abdominal cavity with his hands - and immediately asked the people to leave the scene.

Then three patrol cars arrived late and barely cordoned off the scene. The guys who got out of the cars were not wearing police uniforms, but had orange lights on their shoulders. While dispersing pedestrians, they killed the violent murderer in the center of the crime scene.

After we revealed our identity as reporters to the first police officer who arrived at the scene, he immediately searched Frank's camera under the pretext of collecting evidence. He spoke as if the police had the right to do so. It was ridiculous. We have already written down his name and police number. We will see you in court!

I was only concerned about freedom of reporting at the time, but now it seems that it doesn't matter what it is. I am more interested in knowing what the shiny metal piece in the thug's hand is.

By the way, the police officer only saw Frank's single-lens reflex viewfinder camera and took away his entire set of things.

But he forgot about the Sony phone in my hand and just warned me not to take pictures of him. I think he was afraid of complaints later, so he warned me.

We had just returned to the newspaper office, but soon received news that the Disaster Emergency Management Agency had decided to issue a martial law order in the afternoon, setting up roadblocks and blockade checkpoints in various parts of the city, which completely cut off our contact with the outside world.

According to the director, the city was quarantined to prevent the spread of "diseases that some citizens have unfortunately contracted." Although the director did not specify the type of disease, Frank and I thought it was most likely the result of the bloody violence not long ago. And the police radio we overheard said that more and more similar incidents were occurring.

Obviously, they are not talking about Greenback Virus, but something else. If I can figure out what the so-called "similar events" are, maybe I can find the answer to this question.

No matter how those officials with scary titles try to fool people, there is one fact facing all New York residents. Not only do they have to endure the pain caused by the raging virus, but they also have to face the panic of sudden and unexpected violent attacks.

Although the police did not cooperate with the news agency's investigation, they still wanted to collect evidence even if they had to ask each family one by one. Frank decided to leave New York, and Tom, Mr. Brad and other employees decided to go back to stay with their families.

They've completely stopped reporting on this. But this is all I'm left with, I...

Damn it, I can't contact them anymore. Just now, there was a sound of glass breaking downstairs, and the nurses and doctors screamed, something came in.

Ahem… I feel very tired, and this is not a symptom of smallpox, I know that very well.

Although the virus that ravaged New York was called the "greenback virus" or "money flu," it was actually a man-made version of the smallpox virus.

But I am sure that the abnormality is definitely not caused by mutant smallpox. Sick people are very weak, but their bodies will not be in the abnormal state of stiff legs and feet and hallucinations like mine.

My heart was pounding like I had just participated in an intense workout. Even if I hadn't exercised, sweat would soon soak my back. Damn it, would I be the first clown to die of exhaustion sitting in a chair?

Just now I saw a nurse running out of the supply warehouse. Her name is Emma. We are not very familiar with each other. I only know her because of several private interviews a few days ago.

You know what I want to do now? I want to tear her apart.

But I can’t.”

The record ends here. Raphael pursed his lips and put the crumpled diary back on the table. The person who wrote this record must be a reporter, and he has disappeared.

Hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, body stiffness and abnormal physiological conditions, and profuse sweating should be metabolic abnormalities caused by ELID infection.

If this handwritten record is true, Raphael can push the time of the collapse fluid leak back to before Black Friday.

Alas, until Black Friday broke out and the money flu virus spread with the banknotes, New York's future was basically gone. No matter who it was, his efforts here were in vain.

Decree No. 51? Is it really necessary? Rafael thinks it is not necessary. President Valle is just expressing his attitude to all sectors of society, especially the voters who hold the votes.

He and the federal government have tried their best, but New York State and New York City are courting death, and the state and city governments have not cooperated from beginning to end.

Not only could Waller produce a large amount of evidence, he also had many reports from SHD Homeland Security agents.

The reports are incredibly detailed, ranging from photographs to helmet-view action videos and video evidence from surveillance systems at some landmark buildings and banks.

Not to mention the recordings and call records collected with the help of the intelligent analysis system, which are a spear of fate that will kill anyone who is stabbed.

Not only that, Raphael also uploaded a large amount of evidence and information, which can be used to illustrate how negligent the New York City government is in management.

The crime deserves death and the crime deserves execution.

If you lose, you will hold a grudge; if you win, you will take revenge. This is the style of politicians in the struggle. Once you are at the table, there is no other way out. The end of failure is death.

Waller might show his magnanimity by pardoning some of the capital crimes, and then send the enemies who refuse to surrender to the most stringent, secure and well-treated private prisons to be monkeys.

At any given time, someone has to take responsibility, right?

President Waller, his team and a group of stakeholders forced a series of important officials from the New York City and New York State to be sacrificed, which not only calmed the public anger, but also created a political image of trying to turn the tide but failing in front of the whole country.

Bad things have turned into good things, right?

Raphael touched the XM5 assault rifle in her hand. She was just a small cog in the tank.

Although her mind core has not been cracked due to DARPA's low technology, the maintenance and upgrade of her body has always been in their hands, forming an invisible chain.

She had to do whatever the director wanted her to do. The so-called "employment" relationship was just a trick they played with their children, nothing more.

They knew that she wanted to gain "freedom", so they stepped up the analysis of the relics; she also knew that they wanted to completely control the artificial intelligence, and she had been thinking about how to get rid of their control.

Both sides are trying hard and neither is willing to admit defeat.

Chapter 44 Loyal

The researchers at DARPA are a real bunch of good people, aren't they?

Raphael thought of the shackles around his neck, squinted his eyes, and mobilized computing power to scan the asset information of the recording equipment to find out which IPs are active, which ports are open for the surviving IPs, and the services corresponding to the ports.

Then we built a quick information collection platform to facilitate viewing and count the number of services, making it easier to detect specific service types.

Although it was her first time doing this, the excess computing power she was born with quickly sorted out the port businesses that did not belong to the core service segment of Mind.

Raphael gently dusted off the seat cushion, sat down, and then devoted all his energy to processing the data collection sensors and data storage black box buried in his body.

These things would record all her actions and thoughts, and then when connected to the Internet, they would be transmitted back to DARPA without her control.

It's not a good feeling to be controlled by others everywhere. Raphael was very serious. He paused other important data analysis threads in his mind and devoted all his energy to exploring the security weaknesses of those subsystems.

Among those open ports, she chose to perform a quick and careful weak password check on system services and database services.

It was really interesting that Raphael noticed that the password of the data sensor could be directly extracted, and then reading the cached password became a natural process.

The department that develops the body seems to be at odds with the department in charge of relic research in the bureau, and they left many interesting things in the system.

She didn't think much about it. No, Raphael suddenly realized that these "surprises" left in the system seemed to be teaching her step by step how to invade the intranet.

After obtaining the target's host survival information and port open information, you can try to analyze the target's network structure and security defense strategy.

Then use port scanning and vulnerability scanning to verify the open ports of the scan target, the services opened on the corresponding ports, and the software and version number running the service.

If you only use port scanning, you will only find open ports, and then use a network computer to obtain the broadcast information of the service on the port.

After obtaining the required broadcast information, search for the corresponding public or undisclosed vulnerabilities in the vulnerability database, and then verify whether the vulnerability exists.

If you use a vulnerability scanning tool, you can directly obtain the vulnerabilities on the corresponding port, and then verify the vulnerabilities.

Security checks generally try to find all vulnerabilities, assess the risks of vulnerabilities, and fix them. Intrusion only focuses on high-risk remote code execution and sensitive information leakage vulnerabilities that can be directly exploited.

Apparently, Raphael received a gift from an unknown person.

"She" directly spread the undisclosed vulnerability of the data collection and transmission system in the internal network in the form of broadcast.

This allowed Raphael to easily gain access to a special vulnerability that would allow her to gain administrative privileges.

She immediately checked the system information and the intranet IP segment, confirmed the number of devices in the segment, and began to analyze the previously recorded information, and then "corrected" and "beautified" the data.

At least people who can read this information should be able to analyze that "Rafael NGSW" is completely loyal to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

She was loyal and devoted, working day and night for the cause of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, and her heart could move God and scare away the devil. In short, all the data sent to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in the future must be reviewed and refined by Raphael.

As for how much loyalty she can have, that depends on how convincing the data she fabricates is.

The feeling of having a shackle around her neck would not have been uncomfortable unless she thought about it this way before, but now that she realized the problem, she began to feel uncomfortable.

Raphael looked at the revised data and felt that the amount of changes made at one time was too large. She knew that people were more complicated than numbers, so she should proceed step by step and test them bit by bit.

So, she restored part of the data and hid the most critical part as a test.

If they can't find any abnormalities, it means that the people in the Planning Bureau are not as "smart" as expected, or this has not touched their bottom line and the matter is still within their tolerance limit.

If that's the case, Raphael has to think carefully about what kind of killer weapons they have in their hands.

However, this step must be taken.

Thinking of this, Raphael took a deep breath with mixed feelings.

"Well, I should keep going," she said to herself in the empty room. "Now is not a good time to stop."

New York, New York, but it doesn't make any sense that New York is in a state of disorder. It looks like a paradise of disorder, but the world outside the high walls still operates according to the original order.

The wars that should be fought fought, the invasions that should be invaded, the new smallpox virus that spread rapidly with the help of the US dollar did not even cause a splash internationally.

The impact it caused was not as great as the huge group of ruins discovered by the United Nations Heritage Agency in Antarctica in July 23 and the subsequent financial turmoil in the Latin American economic circle.

Then a coup d'état broke out in Panama, and President Valle, in order to safeguard the interests of the United States, brazenly sent troops to carry out "Operation Justice." By the way, Rafael was accompanying the team as a "trainee officer" at the time.

The current situation in New York is actually under control, and the chaos is always under the control of the chess players.

Disgusted, Raphael finished modifying the data, erased all records, and restored the system to its original state.

She left Madison Square Garden in the dark, thinking about the record left by the reporter all the way. The closer she got to the high-radiation area, the more ELID infected people there were wandering around, and Raphael thought that among those infected people she killed, there might be the reporter who wrote those records.

The heavy mood became even more depressing when I thought of the culprit.

How long did these innocent people undergo torture before they mutated?

After searching, Raphael found no corresponding explanatory materials and documents. He sighed again. The Planning Bureau was still too strict in its defense against her.

Every time she came out of a dilapidated shop or residential building, she picked up desperate letters written by many people.

They cursed all the municipal bureaucrats, were unwilling to accept their fate, and were afraid of the violence in their hearts and their increasingly stiff and dull bodies.

The messages were initially well-organized, but the handwriting became increasingly illegible and stiff as time went on.

People are struggling in despair, and those words can only show this.

Raphael put down his gun and walked onto the street. The thugs who jumped into his face were just like the monsters that automatically refreshed in the game, always jumping out from inconspicuous corners.

Most of their lines are similar, either seeking money or sex.

Irritated and impatient, they noticed Raphael walking alone on the road, prepared themselves, and jumped directly at her.

Rafael waited a few seconds under the cover of the charred car, then quickly drew his weapon and released the safety.

The battle lasted less than a minute, and six more bodies were left on the icy road, all meaningless deaths.

As daybreak approached, Raphael was lost in thought as he recalled the reverse-engineered replica core that was stored as a failed product in the Advanced Research Projects Agency's sample warehouse.

So can we make a puppet figure based on this?
