Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 21 NO.0015: The aftermath of the visit

Pluto Deep Dive Company Headquarters, Tartarus.

Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center, Cerberus.

The blood-red alarm lights were still flashing, and the piercing whistle rang in everyone's ears.

Countless chaos filled the entire control room. Normally, Cerberus was as quiet as a cemetery, but now it was like a noisy vegetable market.

The expensive fourth-generation collaborative neural work terminal is enough for the electronic warfare masters present to share real-time combat information in units of G per second, but right now they are still using it at a speed of about 5 bits per second, under the interference of harsh sirens. The vocal cords communicate with the eardrum.

It's not entirely their fault either.

The director of Cerberus thought to himself.

No matter how many adjustments have been made, as long as you are still human at heart, emotional catharsis should be prioritized over work efficiency. And at this point, the collaborative neural working terminal will never be able to convey emotion through data-it will have to roar.

However, those sporadic words came to his ears, constantly reminding him of his own incompetence, and also made him urgently need to vent his emotions.

"The offensive walls from layers 2 to 17 have completely failed, what the hell is that..."

"27% of the equipment in the intelligent control factory in the Luxor resettlement area reported operating errors..."

"A return visit to the reception center received 1,919 complaints about auxiliary anti-gravity engine failures."

"The three tactical teams lurking in Zero Sum City were exposed due to the loss of information protection, and are discussing with the intelligence department about evacuation..."

"The control of public opinion is about to fail, and the puppets who apply for three bases to strengthen the control of public opinion..."

"Juno Financial has sent a red letter, asking whether to activate the Golden Apple Agreement and temporarily freeze the stampede of stock market funds?"

...

Because of the inexplicable rise and departure of an unknown existence in the depths of the abyss and dark net, the entire Pluto Diving Company is now in chaos like a hot pot soup before a party leaves.

The company's firewall, which has been strengthened for decades, is impenetrable. If it is attacked from the outside, even a dozen or so "wizard" level hackers can't shake it at all.

However, for the unknown existence from the super abyss zone, it was smashed like weathered silk just by simply swimming through it. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had no interest in the company's interior, he had no doubt that he could destroy the company's intranet by himself.

All the damage suffered by the company's intranet today is caused by other hostile companies or individuals along the firewall loopholes opened by that existence.

But the question is, what is that thing?

An unknown existence in the abyss and dark web that usually lives in the abyss, what kind of madness did it cause to come up?

Taking a deep breath, the supervisor of Cerberus suppressed his anger, and said to the busy subordinates in the audience:

"Have you found the reason for the unknown existence to rise?"

His voice silenced everyone in the audience at the same time, and only the sound of the siren's siren echoed in the control room.

No one spoke.

This means that no one knows, and probably no one even tries to figure it out.

What kind of idiots are these...

he thought.

"Then stop those trivial things in your hands, and find out the reason for that unknown existence to suddenly rise up first!"

he snapped.

These short-sighted idiots...

Business, stock market, industry, public opinion...these are just the minutiae components of the company's operations. At most, they are related to the future development of the company. But as long as the company itself stands, losses in these areas, no matter how great, are in the end nothing more than things that can be regained with time and effort.

But that unknown existence from the ultra-abyss layer only floated up to the vicinity of the α-level deep diving interface held by Pluto, and it could destroy the company's firewall like a game. This is the real matter of life and death for the company.

This time, the other party's Shangfu only passed them by, and it could open a big hole in the firewall. What about next time? What about next time?

If you can't find out the reason for the opponent's rise, and you can't find out the purpose of the opponent, then you can't formulate corresponding countermeasures, and you can't think of ways to avoid it.

Leaving aside the other losses, the company's board of directors will definitely ask about this matter.

he thought.

And when he thought of facing those inhuman monsters on the company's board of directors, he felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a cold hand...

"Director, I found a clue."

A young man who had no impression of himself strode up to the podium.

There are a lot of data cables tied on the back of his head like dreadlocks.

"explain."

"1.3 seconds before the visit of the unknown existence, that is, at exactly 19:40, the company's No. 3 deep-diving warehouse No. 6 to No. 10 subnets launched a deep-diving salvage for the KZ quadrant. This is different from the unknown There are areas that have risen up—in fact, this rise has caused all subnets six to ten to lose contact now."

The young man said calmly.

"Do you suspect that this deep-diving salvage alarmed the unknown existence from the super-abyss layer?"

asked the director of Cerberus.

The other party did not answer.

So he went on to ask:

"What was the diving depth of that deep dive salvage?"

"Photosynthesis zone, depth 2."

The other party replied.

"Are you kidding me in the fuck?"

For the first time tonight, he couldn't hold back and cursed aloud.

"Do you want to say that a deep dive salvage that only involves depth 2 can alarm monsters from the super abyss layer?"

There are more than 20 different standards around the world for the division of the depth of the Abyss Darknet.

Among them, the most widely used is the general standard established by the Olympus order in the first year of the new calendar-named after the level of the ocean, divided into five depths from shallow to deep: photosynthesis zone, weak light zone, Abyssal zone, abyssal zone, super abyssal zone.

Depths 1-3 are all in the photosynthetic zone. If the abyss darknet is compared to the ocean, then the salvage in the depth 2 area is equivalent to pleasant fishing in the shallow sea on a sampan boat.

And what this person said earlier seems to be saying that 1.3 seconds after they threw the hook down, a Godzilla floated up with the bait.

"I didn't make any conclusions, I just sorted out the clues that I found that seemed to be related."

Facing his anger that turned into laughter, the man remained calm and replied very methodically.

"With a time difference of 1.3 seconds and the fact that they are both in the KZ quadrant, I found these two clues that seem to be related. Whether it is rational inference or personal intuition, I don't think it is because of this reason, but I think it is necessary to report to you ,above."

After the man finished speaking, he bowed slightly, and then backed away.

"You wait for me."

He looked at the young man and scanned his badge.

Lu Yuan, an intern employee from the Talent Incubation Center of Nord Resettlement Area, is a leader in the twelfth training program.

Being able to work at the top-secret Tartarus headquarters during the internship period shows its future potential.

"Who is the supervisor in charge of the No. 3 deep dive chamber?"

"Ye Qian."

Lu Yuan replied immediately.

"Ye Qian?"

He frowned as he recalled the name.

Is it the waste who was in charge of the development plan in the Nord resettlement area before, but was messed up by the local civil armed organization?

"Then you go and call him over."

he said.

"learn."

The intern named Lu Yuan took the order without being humble, then trotted and disappeared outside the porch.

I hope this can be regarded as a clue, and I can deal with the questioning of the board of directors later...

The director of Cerberus thought to himself.

In the next second, the scene in front of him shattered like a broken mirror.

His world fell into a darkness covered with blood-red lines.

coming……

Signals of fear from an ancient reptilian brain crawled up his spine.

People from the board of directors came to him.

Restraining the trembling of his lips, he raised his head.

Two large blood-red characters floated in the sky.
