Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 139 NO.008a: Infiltration Plan

"When did you start..."

Seeing Booker appearing out of the air so suddenly, Jiang Zhou froze for a moment.

Not only optical camouflage and thermal optical camouflage are simple, but the opponent even completely shields the magnetic field signal when the prosthetic body is running. With my own observation methods, I can't see any clues at all.

But how exactly is this done?

After a brief shock, Jiang Zhou suddenly recalled what Booker had said earlier.

When discussing how to sneak into the Theseus Freight Company and get back the universal printer, the plan Booker envisioned.

"The quantum camouflage device of the Hyena helmet model..."

Jiang Zhou murmured and put down the "Scorpio" in his hand, and at the same time put away the weapons floating around him-although the other party's sudden appearance in his home was horrifying, it was obvious that the other party had no malice towards him. Otherwise, the other party would not have spoken so directly and exposed his position in advance.

If there is any malice, with this concealment ability, you won't notice anything until you die.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou frowned and said:

"So, you've reached depth 4 now?"

"It's a lot earlier than I thought it would be."

Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, Booker shrugged and answered in this way, which is considered an admission.

Along with his movements, the set of full-coverage silver armor inlaid with black edges cracked piece by piece like scales, and gradually deformed and combined on his body surface. In the end, it turned into dusty clothes and accessories that looked like unpainted gray molds.

Apart from those that had been turned into clothes, many of the remaining redundant parts transformed into a lead gray metal suitcase like a Rubik's cube, lying quietly at his feet.

Next, as if the model was loaded with material rendering, Booker's whole body, including the suitcase on the floor, was instantly dyed with normal colors and textures.

As a result, Booker at this moment looks no different from a company white-collar worker in his early thirties—he even wore a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, A nicotine atomizer was also clipped on.

"Although it is really impolite to directly break into your home like this, as an ally who needs to tell each other later, it is still very important to make a deep first impression."

After saying this, Booker randomly found a chair in the room and sat down. The chair with a wooden structure immediately made an overwhelmed "creak" sound-although the other party looked like a normal person at the moment, it was actually just a mimicry.

An important symbol of Depth 4 - complete prosthetics except biological brains.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou, who had retracted his weapon, sat back on the sofa again. He stared at the crumbling chair with some worry, and then said:

"I have to admit, your first impression is really deep..."

The ending was prolonged to give himself enough time to think, and finally Jiang Zhou decided to go straight to the point:

"So, you have already reached depth 4? And you have been hiding your strength before?"

The activation authority of the Icarus universal printer has always been in the hands of Liao Qi, but now because there is no way to use Liao Qi's Mandala password, even if Booker has a full set of printing permissions, there is no way to upgrade to the depth 4 is.

In this way, there is only one possibility - the other party has already reached depth 4, but they have been hiding this before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help feeling a burst of anger from the bottom of his heart.

Since you have the strength of Depth 4, what did you do long ago?

In the battle of the "Siege of Theseus", if you can fight in this state, then all the elite troops of the organization will not be wiped out...

Although if this is the case, then I will not take over this body from the original owner. But even so, the anger that belonged to Liao Qi surged to his head in an instant.

Probably sensing Liao Qi's agitated emotions, Booker sighed and said:

"It's not that I hide my strength, or at least it's not the kind of hidden strength you imagine... but before that, I was only allowed to use weapons that did not exceed depth 3-modularity is the characteristic of the Perseus path, Almost all adjustments and transformations on this upgrade path are done by adding various modules. Even after the adjustments are completed, those modules can be removed at any time.

"And when I came to the Nord resettlement area, I only carried the Aegis module with depth 3 strength. Therefore, I can only play the combat level of depth 3."

The reason why the Perseus path often appears as the top three favorites in those forums that are keen on controversy. To a large extent, this upgrade path has little impact on the mental index of the adjuster. This makes many high-level adjusters famous for walking this path in the history of cyber domain warfare. Therefore, there are enough legendary stories left by this path, as well as enough records for analysis.

At least it's not like the Icarus path, because of the severe mental index pollution, basically the appearance is bound to keywords such as "crazy", "suicide attack", and "time bomb".

But Jiang Zhou really didn't expect that the road of Perseus could actually remove the part he had adjusted...

Perhaps this is the reason why the Perseus path has little impact on the mental index—some high-level adjustments can be removed at any time, so as to reduce the mental pressure on the prosthetic body?

"Only allowed..."

Jiang Zhou repeated this sentence.

Compared with the characteristics of Perseus' path, Jiang Zhou cared more about Booker's words.

If he understands correctly, Booker needs permission to use his deep 4-level adjustment and transformation.

An adjuster with a depth of 4, even in an Olympus enterprise like Pluto Deep Dive, is still a combat power at the backbone level—similar to the Aconitum-23 defeated in the Abyss Darknet before, with a depth of 4 He has already become the vice-captain of the elite unit "Lyagosbane".

And Booker, as a depth 4 adjuster of the Perseus path, wants to fully use his power, but still needs "permission"?

"For the control of the situation in the major resettlement areas, there are some unwritten criteria within the Olympus order."

Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, Booker explained:

"For those adjusters who are unwilling to accept corporate control, depth 4 is a hurdle. Below this level, it means that they still need to rely on the current society to survive, and lack the ability to continue to cause trouble. Therefore, instead of encircling and destroying It is better to allow these people to exist as a pressure relief valve for society."

"However, for those who have completed full-body prosthetics and whose mental state is often not so stable, the company's attitude will be much stricter-the company will basically regard them as potential sources of turmoil, and like wolves Most of the field missions of special operations teams like the poison force are to deal with this kind of adjusters."

However, although Booker's explanation is very reasonable. But it sounds to Jiang Zhou that the other party is still avoiding his previous question - who is he, as his superior is issuing orders.

But obviously, the other party doesn't want to say it now.

That being the case, Jiang Zhou wisely stopped asking.

After all, the other party had previously promised that when all this dust settled, he would explain everything to himself—although this statement seemed like a flag, comparable to "After this war is over, I will go back to my hometown." marry".

But Jiang Zhou didn't believe in this kind of thing. A plot similar to a cliché was bloody enough in that era a hundred years ago. In reality, believing this is basically no different from feudal superstition.

Instead of delving into similar metaphysics, it is better to focus more on the things in front of you.

For example, the infiltration plan of Theseus warehouse.

"So, can the Hyena's armor completely avoid the detection equipment in Theseus' warehouse?"

Instead of continuing to dwell on issues that should not be of concern now, Jiang Zhou asked this directly.

"Since I can completely avoid your detection, I can avoid the sight of the monitoring equipment in the warehouse. In other words, I won't have any problems sneaking into the warehouse relying on this."

Booker replied.

"What about the pressure sensing system?"

Jiang Zhou continued to ask.

"Using the anti-gravity mod, I can float in like a feather."

Jiang Zhou nodded, and finally asked the most critical question:

"Then can you apply the invisibility effect of the hyena's helmet to the universal printer, and bring it out without anyone noticing it?"

"Uh... This is the biggest problem. This invisibility effect is only valid for me."
