Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 90 NO.0059: Stay

Long before Jiang Zhou traced back to the source of the hacker, he had already sent Booker an emergency contact information.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Booker happened to be on the first floor of the resettlement area, and was confirming the safe release of the second batch of POWs from the Pluto Deep Diving Company.

Accompanying him are the security personnel of the company deploying a 1.414 universal printer.

Maybe it's no coincidence...

Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

The opponent specifically chose this juncture to carry out the assassination—in order to ensure that Icarus' attention would not be here, there was no way to take countermeasures immediately.

And the only thing they missed was that they didn't know that Liao Qi was transferred here to monitor Shenlan.

All in all, after receiving Liao Qi's message, Booker immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

As for the aircraft of the Pluto Deep Diving Company that came together, according to the original plan, the members of Icarus were responsible for picking it up to the escort team on the fourth floor underground.

And since Booker, who led the team, came over, they came together.

But they will follow, and even turn on the optical camouflage midway according to Booker's arrangement. It was also a tacit understanding between Fanny and Booker regarding Ye Qian's faction.

Jiang Zhou looked at the anti-gravity aircraft hovering steadily in mid-air, and not far from them, those speeding vehicles that seemed to be dwarfed in size and armament, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Anyway, this round was won by Icarus.

They confirmed that Deep Blue was a trustworthy ally, thwarted the opponent's plan to assassinate and frame, and exposed the hidden Ye Qian faction in the resettlement area government.

This immediately cleared many obstacles and removed many hidden dangers for the future plan.

The task force captain, who had flaunted his might before and thought he had a chance to win, had no choice but to obediently put the rail gun in his hand on the ground, and then raised his hands in embarrassment.

Seeing that his captain was the first to raise the white flag to surrender, the rest of the task force also put down their weapons one after another.

They are all people who rely on the government's finances, so they can't afford to fight desperately with the troops of Olympus Enterprises.

"So, is Pluto Deep Dive Company going to interfere with the law enforcement power of the resettlement area government here?"

Perhaps feeling a little useless, the captain of the task force looked up at Booker who was hovering in mid-air, and asked in a dull voice.

"We have no intention of getting involved in security issues underground in the resettlement area, which is not within the scope of the company's business."

It was not Booker who answered, but a female voice.

In the A-shaped formation, the leading anti-gravity aircraft projected a light blue holographic figure onto the ground.

It was the image of one of Perse Fanny's adjutants.

"However, according to the "Nord Resettlement Area Enterprise Business Environment Security Protection Law", we have the right to ensure that our business partners have immunity from criminal responsibility during the cooperation period. You can file a lawsuit after our cooperation ends in the future. At that time, we will Will not interfere."

business partner?

Icarus Liberation Front and Pluto Deep Diving Company?

After hearing this, the man only thought it was funny for a while.

And this emotion reached its peak after Booker floated down like a feather.

So he just laughed outright.

"what's so funny?"

Even though the other party had put down the rail gun in his hand, even though the Pluto Deep Diver had expressed his attitude before, Booker still did not put away the microwave weapon in his right arm.

"I'm laughing. After Corrett's death, after Icarus fell into your hands, he would actually degenerate to where he is now."

As the man said, he took off the black mask on his face.

The other party's face hidden under the mask made Jiang Zhou's eyes jump.

"And when I imagine how my genetic brother will react after knowing what you are doing now, I can't help but laugh out loud."

There was a mocking sneer on the face of the task force leader.

He looked at Booker and said so.

Except for the lack of cylindrical eyes like metal bottle caps, that person's appearance is almost exactly the same as that of Black Falcon-136!

"When he comes back, he will understand what I did."

Booker answered without the slightest ups and downs.

Then, he looked at the person in front of him and continued:

"But he'll never understand what you're doing.

"Black Falcon-111."

…………

"Where were we talking?"

After hanging up the communication with her adjutant, Fanny turned to look at Jiang Zhou again and asked.

He said earlier that he wanted to talk, but the director of the medical department had just sat down and hadn't said a few words, so he suddenly asked Jiang Zhou to wait for she had to deal with some things.

As for what happened, it was naturally a conflict that was happening on the negative floor of the Nord resettlement area.

She didn't avoid Jiang Zhou throughout the whole process, and she quickly made a series of arrangements.

And the content of the arrangement... Even Jiang Zhou didn't expect that the other party would do it to this extent.

She asked the guards to follow Booker to make a rescue, and ordered that, as long as Icarus did not take the initiative to provoke a conflict, try to meet his request as much as possible.

It was also here that the number of guards that Booker brought over was confirmed. Jiang Zhou was so calm when he was in front of the dark blue area.

"You ask what to do if the other party is tough? I don't think they will be so stupid... But yes, if such a thing really happens, then open the realm of silence and wipe them all out."

At last, Fanny said so.

Hearing this, even Jiang Zhou felt that this woman's acting style seemed a bit extreme...

However, her series of actions can be regarded as a public statement to the various forces in the resettlement area.

"There's something about my hacking talents."

When he came back to his senses, Jiang Zhou said so.

Fanny nodded, then said:

"Ah, that's right, this is the matter... Then I'll just say it, I hope you will not leave Tartarus in the future, but will continue to stay under my command."

There is not even a bit of foreshadowing. Your "speaking directly" is too straightforward, right?

Jiang Zhou complained silently in his heart, and then asked:

"What kind of identity is that?"

This is a straight-to-essential question.

Although Jiang Zhou didn't know the specific system of Pluto's deep dive, Fanny definitely didn't have the right to keep herself here as a company employee.

After all, it is impossible for the person in charge of the company to delegate the power of personnel to various departments. The employees of each department, especially those involved in adjustment, must be arranged by the personnel department or even the board of directors.

And if Jiang Zhou entered the company through the formal process, then with his talent, Jiang Zhou didn't think the other party would be able to keep him in the medical department.

In other words...

"You are very smart."

Regarding Jiang Zhou's question, Fanny smiled slightly.

"So, I plan to keep you as a technical slave—I will perform surgery on you myself and transform you into a zombie."

she replied.

Regarding this answer, Jiang Zhou did not get angry or jump, but continued to look at the other party, waiting for her next words.

"Only in this way can I bypass the company's system and keep you in my department 100%. Of course, generally speaking, this will cause your self-awareness to dissipate, which in some people's eyes is equivalent to death itself... ..."

As she said that, she turned to look at the bed beside her, and continued:

"But for you, it's not exactly like that."

"You mean, after I've been transformed into a zombie, I can still retain my sense of self?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

Fanny nodded first, then shook her head.

"Yes... and no."

What you said is quite mysterious...

Resisting the urge to complain, Jiang Zhou frowned and continued to ask:

"What's the meaning?"

"How much do you know about the path of Theseus, that is, your path to upgrade?"

Without directly answering Jiang Zhou's question, Fanny suddenly brought up another topic.

"Except for those modifications at depth 1... nothing."

Jiang Zhou lied without changing his face.

"When the Path of Theseus comes to Depth 3, there is an extremely important adjustment authority, a brain plug-in called 'Pegasus'."

Probably didn't expect "Theseus" in front of her to say anything, Fanny said directly:

"The function of this authority adjustment can roughly be regarded as a switch to turn off self-awareness. Once turned on, your self-awareness will lose control over the body and transform into a state similar to a 'zombie'. With unimaginable efficiency, Complete the tasks you have planned in advance."

After she finished speaking, she paused, as if giving Jiang Zhou time to understand.

"You say switch, that is, it's reversible?"

Jiang Zhou asked.

Fanny nodded.

"As long as you want, you can withdraw from that state at any time."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou roughly understood the other party's thinking.

"In other words, you want me to complete the adjustment and transformation of Path of Theseus Depth 3 as soon as possible, and then pretend to be a zombie at your place?"
