Battlefield Contractor

"Such a heavy reward is enough to illustrate the danger of this matter. However, things shouldn't be that simple, right? You are so anxious to catch people, and you pay such high rewards, except for the secret society organization, I'm afraid there are other reasons?" Lin Rui smiled.

Mr. K was silent for a while, "It is true. Just one day ago, they used hacking techniques to hijack the fuel pipeline transportation management system of an American company.

You know, this kind of modern pipeline operating company does not use people for jobs that can be solved by machines.

In this kind of energy company, important components such as pipeline pressure sensors, thermostats and valves are controlled by computers. Including routine inspections of pipelines, they have all been completed by robots.

After being invaded and forced to cut off the control system, it is equivalent to the fuel pipeline being broken.

This has directly led to the paralysis of the "main artery" of gasoline transportation of 8,800 kilometers on the east coast of the United States. The capital Washington and the 17 eastern states have all entered a state of emergency.

At the same time, gasoline futures also soared to a three-year high.

Until now, most of the pipeline transportation has not resumed. In the closed system, there are some main lines 1, 2, 3, and 4, including the line connecting the Mexican coast refinery with the eastern United States.

This line transports approximately 2.5 million barrels of gasoline a day, accounting for 45% of the supply on the East Coast of the United States.

As of Sunday, US gasoline futures rose more than 3% to reach a price of $2.217 per gallon.

This is the highest since May 2018. At the same time, US heating oil futures also jumped to their highest point since January 2020. On the same day, the President declared a state of emergency in 17 states and Washington, DC. "

"This is a big event." Lin Rui sighed, "The fuel pipeline is related to the monopoly giants of energy companies. No wonder they are willing to pay such a high price. This group of people is really big enough."

Mr. K replied, “They hacked the largest oil pipeline network in the United States and forced more than a dozen states into a state of emergency. Even the president personally intervened. These Russian hackers really played a lot this time.”

"Then what is the origin of this so-called dark side organization? Don't you even have any news?" Lin Rui asked.

Mr. K was a little helpless, "Except for the FBI's preliminary investigation results pointing to the territory of Russia, the rest of the information is unknown to the outside world. But since the dark side appeared in August last year, it can be said that the results have been numerous.

They have an independent website that shows off the cases that they have succeeded, which companies have been blackmailed, and how much money they got...

But this is more like a cover-up, deliberately making people feel their immaturity. In fact, they are very likely to be the seventh group of the secret agency, or are closely related to the seventh group. We need your help.

Of course, in addition to the considerable bonus, it is also possible to uncover the disguise of the secret agency's most mysterious network organization. In fact, these hacker teams are very reused within the secret agency organization. They are likely to know a lot of secrets. "

"Let me think about it." Lin Rui nodded, "Then, who are the candidates you have locked?"

Mr. K pointed to the computer on the desk, "You can watch it for yourself."

"Gorpov, 32 years old." Lin Rui frowned. "That's it?"

"This is the only information we have. We discovered him through the hacker forum on the dark web. As far as our people know, this person is the main person in charge of the dark side, and no one has ever seen him.

This name is also likely to be a pseudonym, but we know where he is active, and there is a picture that is not too clear.

All you have to do is find him, catch him, and try to smuggle him out of Russia. "Mr. K whispered.

"Only a vague photo and a fake name are needed to catch a big living person.

It is not an easy task to **** him out of Russia.

If this person is still a secret agency, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. Lin Rui shook his head.

"Yes. So we need you. I know you did a good job in Russia before and have connections in the local area.

And you are acting in a private capacity. So you are the best candidate for this matter. Mr. K looked at him, "If you can, you can leave this afternoon."

Our people have arranged fake identities and air tickets for you. Go directly to St. Petersburg. "

"It seems that your people have done a lot of homework, and even we have a clear understanding of things in St. Petersburg." Lin Rui nodded.

"You are a contractor of the military, so your background check is very detailed. We only need to inquire a little bit to understand.

It is the old rule to go this time, we have to reduce any unnecessary connections. So we won't have any contact with you. If something goes wrong, you will carry it on your own.

But if things are done, let us know as soon as possible and we will try to help you prepare a safe passage for your evacuation. "Mr. K replied.

"I think you'd better be recuperating here. We will take care of these things ourselves." Lin Rui shook his head, "I'll take these materials first.

But whether this can be done, I have to discuss with the brothers. "

"Take this phone. It's a one-time phone registered in Russia. It won't arouse any suspicion, if you are sure to go.

When you leave the St. Petersburg airport, you will receive a call. All our communication is done through this phone,

This phone will not be tracked, tapped or locked. "Mr. K pointed to a cell phone under the file bag.

Lin Rui picked up the phone and put it in his pocket.

"One more thing." Mr. K looked at him, "This mission has a time limit. It must be completed within ten days, otherwise the bounty will be gone."

"Ten days? It's really enough to catch some ordinary computer nerds.

But if you are from the secret society, are you joking for ten days? They are too good at hiding, and there must be protection around them. "Lin Rui couldn't help but said.

"Only ten days, things may change otherwise after ten days." Mr. K replied.

"What's the change?" Lin Rui asked.

"Energy companies may not be able to withstand the pressure and pay a ransom. So the so-called bounty will probably disappear." Mr. K replied.

"Damn it." Lin Rui shook his head, "I suddenly began to feel that these energy giants should have something like this. It's better to be squeezed out of nothing."

"There is no other way. So I still think yours will be completed as soon as possible. Don't have trouble with the money." Mr. K replied.

"Who is our contact person this time? It's all through this mobile phone?" Lin Rui asked while holding the mobile phone.

"Yes, you don't need to know more, we will naturally send more information to your mobile phone.

And I repeat, our people will not contact you unless your mission is over. "Mr. K said.
