Indescribable cyberpunk

The snowflakes falling from the gaps in the upper-level community pass through the community's sky corridor, drawing arcs in mid-air, and avoiding several protruding eaves.

Finally it fell into a few drops of dark red liquid and melted.

In the alleyway filled with debris, heavy breathing was mixed with intermittent violent coughs.

Kyoko covered her mouth, trying to suppress the sound back in her throat.

The black umbrella used to protect against rain and snow was leaning against the wall. The ribs of the umbrella were broken in several places, and the corners were drooping, as if it would be completely scrapped at any time.

And this is probably the case for her at this time.

The appearance that he usually conceals is exposed. If anyone passes by, his eyes will definitely be focused on it.

There are still black lines on the exposed skin that have not been completely dissipated. The delicate facial features are wrinkled uncontrollably due to the double pain of body and spirit. The cheeks that are so pale that there is no trace of blood are pressed against the wood next to them. Box, only her clenched teeth showed that she was still fighting.

Everything that happened last night flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

The sect wanted to get rid of them from the beginning. Those potions and the heart of evolution were all premeditated traps!

The images of her companions who had mutated into mental pollution monsters and lost their minds were engraved in her mind, testing her will all the time.

Everything in front of me seemed to be different.

The bluestone bricks under her feet glowed with a strange gray-brown light, and the snowflakes at the entrance of the alley were pitch black. A disgusting murmur echoed in her ears. She knew this was an illusion. The sad thing was that even if she knew, she could not escape from this illusion, and even Her spirit is being corroded by this hallucination.

Will I become a monster like Finny and Thok?

Such thoughts began to occupy her mind.

The more you care about it, the faster your spirit will be eroded, your thoughts will diverge uncontrollably, and weird ideas will emerge one after another.

If he really turns into a monster, he may also be caught in the video in the future. Whether he is alive or not is a question.

What on earth was I thinking?

I must live, and I must avenge Feeney and the others!

Struggling to get up.

She didn't know where she should go, but she couldn't die here no matter what!

The phone rang by the bedside.

The person in the quilt cursed and reached out to touch it, knocking over a document stacked next to the alarm clock. The sound of falling to the ground caused another complaint from the other side.

It is really a great sin to prevent people from sleeping well in the early morning of Halloween.

With the intention of cursing a few words before answering the call, I took the phone back under the quilt and pressed the answer button.

Three seconds later, cold wind poured into the warm bed. The woman who was still sleeping was awakened, and looked at her husband with a surprised face as he rushed out of the bedroom barefoot with messy hair.

Not long after, the sound of the TV being turned on came from the living room, and there were vague sounds such as "Halloween Ghost Disaster" and "Power Outage in Lower-level Communities".

"I saw it. Was the terrorist organization responsible for the troubles in the lower-class communities?"

Just wearing a jacket, Rona's legs kept shaking, hoping to retain the heat that was quickly dissipating in this way.

"If you can, come to the bottom community to meet. I need your help. This is not an order. You have the right to choose. What I must tell you is that there are many monsters that are sources of mental pollution in the bottom community, and there is a certain danger. The task I want to give you is also very challenging. Of course, the relative reward is also extremely generous. I will give you 5 minutes to think about it and then contact you."

The voice coming from the phone gradually stopped Rona's shaking of his legs. The coldness in his body was not enough to affect the functioning of his brain.

The call was hung up.

Rona quickly connected to the Internet and began to inquire about the situation in the underlying communities.

There is not much content. The announcement given by the Qianfan City government is just a clear reason for deceiving people, such as a central control system failure. Even if you enter the information network in the federal office, only a little information can be found.

"SHIT!"

He whispered in disappointment and wrapped his coat tightly. After all, it happened just last night. It was less than 10 hours ago. It was also a large-scale festival like Ghost Festival, and a lot of information was buried in the entertainment news. middle.

Coupled with the "meticulous" control of Tiantang Intelligence on the Internet, it is indeed not easy to find some special information.

"Rona, what happened?"

Apparently, the husband's sudden departure frightened his wife.

"It's nothing. My boss has something to ask me about. The power supply to the lower-level community seems to have been cut off. Why don't I come out to confirm the situation? You go to sleep."

After rubbing his face and pointing at the TV to explain, Rona quickly walked into the study.

Upon detecting that the owner of the house had entered the room, the heater automatically turned on, facing the desk, barely dispelling the chill on Rona's body.

Five minutes of thinking time is really not much time.

The source of mental pollution monsters are still in the lower-class communities. Coupled with the terrorist organizations that existed behind the scenes of the human rights march three years ago, the danger is self-evident.

Just give up.

I am just an ordinary person, so I should leave this kind of matter to more professional people.

Take a deep breath, pick up the phone and dial the number just now.

"You make decisions pretty quickly. Do you want to come?"

"actually, I"

His eyes fell on the pile of documents on the table in front of him, he pursed his lips, blinked his eyes twice, and then lowered his voice and said,

"Where should I meet you?"

"Please call the alley next to John's Breakfast Shop near No. 35 Community Hospital. Please be careful not to let the Qianfan City government know your movements. This is confidential. I am also lurking as a doctor now."

After Zhu Jue finished speaking, he hung up the phone again.

Pa~

A slap on his forehead.

"You are just an idiot. Why did you agree? There is nothing you can do now. You have to go even if you don't want to!"

Although he was cursing himself, Rona didn't show much annoyance on his face.

He bent down and opened a locked drawer at the bottom of the right side of the desk. There was nothing else inside, just a gray-black pistol and three loaded magazines.

Touching the cold firearm, he made a few aiming movements, then stood up and stuffed the pistol into his lower back, and practiced lifting his coat to draw the gun.

The movements had to be said to be extremely unfamiliar, but Rona still enjoyed it.

"Due to a failure in the central control system, the power outage will last for 5 to 7 days. We promise to carry out forced repairs as quickly as possible. In addition, in order to ensure the basic life of the people, the government will set up distribution centers in the community. Please go to the material compensation points in an orderly manner to collect all kinds of temporary equipment. The compensation points are located at Block 11 and Block 23."

Vehicles with several loudspeakers hanging on the top are driving on the streets, constantly playing pre-recorded content in a loop.

Following the notification vehicle were several trucks loaded with various supplies and two police patrol cars carrying protective supplies.

Heaven Intelligent Brain cannot regain control in a short period of time. It is the cold winter season now, and the temperature at night is even below zero.

It might be bearable without the Internet, but being without electricity is undoubtedly a very fatal thing. The Qianfan City government's response to this is to first give a fairly clear time for power restoration, and then distribute various materials for free to minimize the impact on the people. dissatisfaction.

In fact, it is not impossible to forcibly restore the power supply. As a super city, Qianfan City cannot have only one power supply station. In addition to the power supply station set up in a nearby satellite city responsible for the daily power supply of the entire city, there are also In Community No. 19, Xiacheng District, there is a power supply station dedicated to Sky City.

The scale of the latter is not small, but the actual power resources used are not much, and it is fully capable of supporting one or two communities to restore power.

This plan was actually proposed within the government, but was rejected after weighing the pros and cons.

On the one hand, doing so can easily arouse resistance among the people in several lower-class communities that do not have access to electricity. Policy makers in the government are very clear about the principle of not worrying about scarcity but about inequality.

On the other hand, the current situation is not without benefits for the Qianfan City government. Power outages and network outages mean that most people’s mobile phones and computers will soon become useless, and subsequent actions in the underlying communities will not be easily exposed. go out.

Moreover, without information communication, the speed of news dissemination within the community will become extremely slow. Even if there is a small-scale chaos, there will be enough time to send people to quell it, without worrying about developing into a large-scale riot, and at the same time, it can avoid arousing public opinion. .

It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.

Thinking about it this way, spending a little money is actually a very cost-effective choice.

Anyway, it won’t be long before the money spent will be earned back from these people’s pockets!

Back to business.

Zhu Jue, who had left the hotel at this time, was standing on the street, watching the vehicles transporting the first batch of supplies go away, preparing to go to the community hospital to wait for Rona's arrival.

"Are you going to let Rona help?"

Suzi knew that Zhu Jue had some connections with the federal government, and Zhu Jue had mentioned Rona in their previous discussion.

Whether it is the spinous flesh ball taken out from the body of the monster that mutated from the leader of the Ouroboros organization or the USB flash drive carrying a considerable amount of data, it now seems that it is undoubtedly a very important bargaining chip.

However, just having chips is obviously not enough. They need a target to bet on. However, the two of them know nothing about the person in charge of this operation. Their identities are also destined to be impossible to take the initiative. Otherwise, the origins of these two things alone will be... can not explain.

"Rona definitely knows more about this matter than we do, and his status is very special. He may be able to help a lot. Even if he is unwilling to cooperate by then, we can still get some suggestions."

As Zhu Jue spoke, he turned his eyes to the soldiers of the security department who were lining up in front and preparing to set off.

Without the help of Tianzhi Nao, the equipment of the soldiers who entered Qianfan City this time was obviously different from the previous batch.

The full-coverage tactical helmet has become a common bulletproof helmet with an independent mental protection device. The fully automatic weapons in the hands have not changed, but everyone has an extra large-caliber energy gun on their back. I think it should be It is specially equipped for monsters.
