Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

Chapter 339 Photography Scene

Under the sunlight, the shadow of the high-rise building moves from east to west on the building platform.

As it got a little darker, new shadows appeared next to the building platform.

Unlike the shadows that had moved forward cautiously before, the new shadow jumped directly down from the building platform...

Hey.

Chuhua, holding Xiangzi in one hand and Miao Meng in the other, landed in the subway passage below the building platform.

"The elevator is hard~"

Miao Meng hugged Chuhua's neck affectionately.

There were lights on her neck and temple, as well as on the Mewtwo recording device and the eye socket implants.

Miao Meng's brain-computer, which had been pre-separated, faithfully executed the [personnel positioning] task, and the dynamic sensing probe displayed all moving objects nearby.

Behind the wall, red lines outline the contours of the robots.

"Wow, there are really a lot of them... and there are many types." Miao Meng turned her head and said, "There are ordinary orange-yellow city construction robots... and drones. This is a little troublesome..."

"Can you see any traces left by Team J?"

Xiangzi Miaomeng asked behind him.

"It's still early!" Miao Meng said, "Let's go in a little further and take a look!"

Xiangzi pressed the brain-computer interface and connected the communication phone.

The signal relayed by Chuhua's [narrow beam radio link] arrived above.

In the shadow of the building platform, Mu sat there, operating her laptop.

Hai Ling, who acted as a bodyguard, squatted beside Mu, leaning on a knife.

"What's the situation with the nearby open output terminals?" Xiangzi asked Mu.

Mu's laptop was humming and working.

"Scanning for dangerous locations."

Mu said.

She used her laptop to scan and check all nearby interfaces. She held a mobile hard drive in her hand.

The map slowly appeared on the laptop interface. Every once in a while, these finished maps would be imported into the hard drive and saved.

Everything is in order...

A huge red exclamation mark suddenly popped up on the laptop screen: [Error interface infiltration! Virus invasion].

The picture started jumping around.

"..."

Mu forced the laptop to shut down.

She skillfully entered the system recovery environment, formatted the laptop, then connected the mobile hard drive, quickly imported the map scanning software and previously scanned images, and continued the scanning work.

"Seven hundred meters at three o'clock. Five hundred meters at eight o'clock..."

Mu continued to report the location during the communication.

The sound of the announcement never stopped.

Miao Meng, who was originally walking inside, also stopped.

"So many locations?" she exclaimed. "They are all minefields for exploding brain and machine popcorn!"

She waved again. "This number of robots is also unusual! This-"

Miao Meng suddenly fell silent.

"...What's wrong?" Chu Hua asked.

"There's a big thing on the [Personnel Location] interface—"

Meow Dream didn't show what it was.

But after a few seconds, everyone noticed it.

Boom, boom.

Gala la...

From deep within the subway tunnel, there came a heavy sound of something hitting the ground.

A crawler excavator as tall as a tower was moving slowly and bumpy on the subway track that could be seen in the distance.

At the top, there is also a red light, representing "out of control".

"...They dropped the crawler excavator!?" Miao Meng lowered her voice and said in disbelief, "It can still be used after being dropped. What's more exaggerated! Is this a dump truck?"

Galala.

The crawler excavator crossed the subway track and pushed away other urban construction robots that were also on the subway track.

Everyone can hear the sound, but only Miao Meng can see the scene.

"What's the situation over there?" Chu Hua asked.

"I'm playing the coin pusher." Miao Meng said, "It's a legacy attraction of [Michelle Park Phase 2]."

"...?"

Chuhua felt confused...

at this time.

"That's not right."

Mu suddenly spoke in the communication.

"What's wrong?" Xiangzi asked.

"There are too many open output ports," Mu said. "Last time I came here, there weren't so many."

"Are you talking about when Team J disappeared?" Hai Ling asked.

"Yes." Mu said, "At that time, the investigation below was not complete. But there was already a scanning process for the surrounding area."

"Data overflow is the same above and below. Generally speaking, the data overflow point below is similar to that above..."

“Now there are obviously a lot more.”

Data overflow points are increasing.

Xiangzi's first reaction was that after Team J arrived below, they exchanged fire with the urban construction robots.

The crossfire damaged nearby lines, causing data overflow points on more lines.

but……

"..."

Xiangzi looked at the map.

If the nearby lines were destroyed due to crossfire, the distribution of data overflow points should be irregular bars.

To be honest, Xiangzi hoped that this would be the case.

Because that would show which direction Team J was moving.

But the fact is, it is not.

The distribution of data overflow points presents a scattered semi-arc shape.

It looks like...

…It looked as if someone had deliberately destroyed the nearby data overflow points and circled the deep areas.

Did someone intentionally sabotage the line after Team J disappeared?

"The last time I came here, there were no city-building robots underground."

Mu suddenly said again.

"At least there's no crawler excavator."

Mu showed the decibel detection indicators of her brain computer.

Indicators show that when the crawler excavator passed by, high-decibel ambient sounds were also detected on the surface.

"Not last time." Mu was sure.

She showed the brain-computer image she had retrieved when she was on a mission.

Prepared in advance.

"...Mortis, when you heard Team K's report that there were robots underground, did you feel something was wrong?" Hai Ling asked.

"Yeah." Mu said.

"What? What you mean is... after Team J disappeared, someone destroyed the nearby circuits, causing a lot of viruses to spread around the area, and also transported a bunch of crazy robots here like garbage and dumped them here?"

Miao Meng said in surprise.

"The only people who can do this are the BCPD!" Miao Meng said, "They control this area! And they also know that one of our people fell underground!"

"But why don't they just pull the person out directly?" Miao Meng was puzzled.

"Because there is no way to solve the problems around here for the time being." Chu Hua said.

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" Miao Meng said, counting on her fingers. "According to Mortis, there were no urban construction robots nearby, and there weren't so many data overflow points! There are refugees falling underground. If BCPD cares about these refugees, they can just send people down to search for them and take them out, all in one go—"

"——This is much easier than blowing up the lines or catching a city-building robot that has Tourette syndrome!"

Chapter 3 Siege (8k monthly tickets plus more)

BCPD deployed many urban construction robots into their own territory and destroyed the nearby wiring, making the infiltration of the [Zerg] even worse.

If they wanted to get out Team J, the followers of Ave Mujica who had escaped, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

It seems that the BCPD is more about "wanting to trap the group of homeless people" underground than "wanting to get the group of homeless people out".

"You want to trap Team J underground?" Miao Meng said, "You want to block all the exits... Are you trying to trap them in here to death?"

All the believers of Team J have undergone cyber transformation. Without food or water, they can live longer than normal people.

But it's just a day or two longer.

If this continues, they might indeed be trapped inside and die.

"Hiss... Just want to torture people? Will BCPD do such a thing?" Miao Meng couldn't believe it. "If you didn't tell me that this is the jurisdiction of BCPD, I would have thought that some cyberpsychopath called "executioner" or "torturer" had escaped? Wait, come to think of it, BCPD does use cyberpsychopaths..."

"I don't think so." Chu Hua looked into the depths and said, "There are a lot of robots."

During this period of time, Chu Hua has been in charge of the defense line connecting the northern side of the [Infrastructure Area] and the [Comprehensive Area 2], where he has been resisting robots and has become more familiar with the robot models and their strength as strategic weapons.

“This is not an amount that one person can handle,” she said, “especially with a crawler excavator.”

"Did they spend a whole division just to move these lumps of iron?" asked Miao Meng.

"That's not the case." Chu Hua said, "But at least there is a team doing this."

"A team of cyber psychopaths who want to torture people!" Miao Meng said, "The emergence of Team J ignited their inner desire for torture. They share the same ideals, hit it off, and work together—"

"Even Mewtwo doesn't dare to shoot this kind of plot." Hailing's voice came from the brain machine.

"What could be the reason..." Chu Hua pondered, "If they seal them up like this, they can't get in by themselves. Even if they change their minds and want to get in, it's unlikely to happen before the large-scale signal bomb they applied for is approved..."

"Are you planning to slowly starve them to death before dealing with them?" Hailing said, "After all, they will definitely be able to imagine that we will launch a rescue operation. And living people are always easier to lead than dead ones. If we let Team J die, it will definitely be more difficult for us to lead them out."

"Eh... it's hard to say!" Miao Meng said, "Death will cause brain protein denaturation! The civilian [Super Dream Recorder] requires the capture of corpses to be completed within 48 hours. The BCPD's [Super Dream Recorder] may be better, but the 'shelf life' of the brain images extracted from personnel will not be long!"

"Unless BCPD doesn't want to extract the images from J Team's brain computer at all." Chu Hua said.

"Don't want to remove it?" Miao Meng asked, "Then we're back to square one. If BCPD had no interest in Team J, why did they lock them up? Sure enough, it's because they are psychopaths..."

"Maybe they're worried that there are insect swarms in their brains?" Hai Ling said, "After all, they are considered 'wild'."
