Start with a Mechanical Hunter

If there is an extra shit-stirring stick on the battlefield, it will become very disgusting.

 Gaogong did not interfere in the war, as he said.

He just burned down a few of its data processing centers when others attacked the 'Research Association'.

 Or, when the enemy uses some dangerous means, a few big hackers drop from the sky and chat with the commander of the war.

 Even when the ‘research association’ side has the upper hand.

The super hackers who were helping the fight suddenly and inexplicably went on strike.

So, not only the enemies are itching to hate him, but even his own people want to push their own president into a cesspool.

It can make both the enemy and ourselves disgusted at the same time, and even the third party in the northern hemisphere would like to kick his crotch, maybe only Gao Gong.

At this time, Gao Gong was not at the research association headquarters, nor did he go to the battlefield to cause trouble. Instead, he appeared in the Kowloon Walled City.

 This is the old part of the New Machinery City, and it is also the boundary where "I love eating steamed buns" met "Bringing a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night".

Next to Gao Gong is a woman with an ordinary face and a scar on her right cheek.

heaven bird.

 Not every hacker is a nerd.

 At least this person is a good athlete and loves mountain climbing, long-distance running, and ball games.

 Among natural people, her attributes are very good.

 So her figure is also very well-proportioned and fit.

“It has been confirmed that the source of ‘Avalanche’ trafficking is a hacker recruited by us.”

 The calm way of the bird of paradise.

 “His active clone is inside this city.”

 “How high is it on the wanted list?”

“Not ranked, but the ‘mining software’ he makes is very good and sells very well in the ‘Brain Mining Circle’. He himself is also a professional seller in the ‘Brain Mining Circle’.”

"oh."

Not all cyber hackers are versatile. They can hack into enterprise-level servers and steal business secrets, and they can sneak into cyberspace and create dangerous viruses.

 In fact, there are only a small number of such ‘special forces’ hackers.

However, being extremely scientific and specializing in a "grey field" with all shortcomings except for the strong points is the norm for cyber hackers.

As for the "brain mining circle", it is a bit like the ancient "coin circle", except that what people play is not digital currency, but computing power currency, and what is burned is not graphics cards, but human brains.

Hackers in this circle specialize in targeting other people's brains, using them as their own 'mining nodes' to mine computing power, use algorithms to form 'computing power currency', and trade with people in the black market.

 If a senior engineer is a novice, his brain has become a "mining pool" now.

Compared with 'virtual currency' that does not produce actual value, 'computing currency' is very useful. For example, some companies need to do some special experiments and cannot burn computing power through corporate servers; or some commercial espionage It requires "temporary computing power" to download some "gray software" in the brain, and it is also used as a special currency for underground transactions.

 This is a huge underground market.

 But this type of ‘brain mine hacker’ belongs to the lowest end of the contempt chain in the hacker circle.

 It’s not that they attack ordinary people, but that they are very close to some “corporate white gloves” and often leak some secrets in the circle.

Many hackers are unwilling to deal with such people.

“This ‘Black Leaf’ has a good reputation in that circle, otherwise he would not be invited,” Bird of Paradise added.

 Hackers’ ‘good reputation’, is this a compliment or a derogatory term?

Gao Gong thought for a while and did not answer the question. Instead, he changed the topic.

“I asked you to go to Johnson & Johnson to talk to Merck. I heard that you hacked into Merck?”

 “Yeah, hack it right into his head and turn him into an idiot.”

 Although the four hackers he sent out were all top masters in this field.

 But it would be nonsense if it was so easy for a super entrepreneur to do it.

 So the ‘Merkedo’ they hacked into is probably a fake.

"how do you feel?"

 Gao Gong suddenly said something without thinking.

Bird of Paradise understood what the other party meant and thought about it.

"It's easier than expected. Normal enterprise defense strength, various types of electronic defense walls, and anti-hacking methods. I also fought with several old opponents, all of whom were good players who retired from the Sixth Division of the Mother City. .”

Gao Gong turned a corner and glanced around. In the dark alley, there were malicious eyes staring at the two of them.

 “Too normal means abnormal in itself.”

 This is during a corporate war, and the opponent is a large biological giant. If it is just a normal network defense strength, it will be quite wrong.

Bird of Paradise frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

“However, there was no problem in the whole process. I asked Miss Yuanyuan to check it again. There is no anti-tracking plug-in installed in my own virtual data.”

"That would be even more interesting," the senior engineer joked, stopping and looking at the old and dangerous building in front of him that didn't even have an elevator.

“It’s right here, the 29th Floor Village, the address of the ‘Black Leaf’.”

This is already the depths of the "Kowloon Walled City", dilapidated, messy, and with some "walking dead".

 “Go up.” Gao Gong said. Bird of Paradise looked around and said stiffly:

 “Let me clear the air first.”

The super hacker seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with the senior engineer. The next moment, accompanied by a crisp phoenix cry, firelight overflowed from every floor of the dangerous buildings around the dangerous building, and every building was ablaze. .

What’s even more interesting is that the living people living on these other floors ignored the fire and had no impact at all.

“The surrounding data nodes and underlying networks have been blocked. Even if he is a clone, he cannot escape.”

Bird of Paradise said coldly.

"Don't be excited. Tell me, what did Xiuyue come to see me for before?"

If the other person is a rich woman, then the senior engineer is a fierce and cute wild wolfdog, who is lovable in all situations.

Then the other party does not have the attribute of a rich woman, and the senior engineer immediately transformed into a happy person, born specifically for disgusting people.

Following the opponent, Bird of Paradise looked quite unhappy. Just as he was about to retort a few words, he suddenly frowned.

 The old stairs looked very crowded. People of all ages, men, women and children were squatting or lying down with dull expressions. There were even a lot of bionic people.

 “Miner?” Gao Gong asked.

As a senior hacker, Bird of Paradise nodded, obviously he could see it at a glance.

These people have mining software running in their minds.

“This is strange. The hacker is not a gang. Even if he mines, he spreads viruses on the Internet and attacks randomly. He does not have to bring so many people together.”

“You have forgotten that now that cyberspace is gone, reality is virtuality, and virtuality is reality.”

The data fire in the Bird of Paradise's eyes lit up and he scanned around. Soon, a large area of ​​the corridor was cleared.

“So, are they all avatars? Hey, they are just like real people.”

In the context of world fusion, unless a senior engineer perceives carefully, it is really difficult to distinguish between living people and virtual illusions.

 Most of the living people have disappeared, and only a few androids are still there.

“I heard that the latest bill and regulations on bionics are to strictly prevent the smuggling of bionics and use their personality chips to mine?”

The bird of paradise doesn’t want to talk.

 The two walked to the third floor, 302, which is the offline location of the hacker "Black Leaf".

Bird of Paradise didn't talk nonsense. He kicked his toned thighs fiercely and with a bang, the door was kicked open on the spot.

In a house that is neither too messy nor too clean, there is a young man with a cracked version of the "Internet Implantation Warehouse".

Gao Gong's arm deformed instantly, and "skinned snakes" shot out one after another. After three strikes, five divided by two, he **** the opponent.

"you-"

The young man's eyes turned white, and the "cracked version of the implant chamber" made a "sizzling" noise. It was obvious that he was preparing to go online and run away. However, a second later, black smoke came out of the implant chamber, and it was obvious that he did not run away.

Without saying a word, Bird of Paradise put one hand on the other person's head, and two electronic rays of light lit up from their eyes at the same time.

 Compared to interrogation, direct hacking is more efficient.

As for Gao Gong, he looked around the small room and soon found what he was interested in on the bookshelf, an old-fashioned disc with dense white dots of snowflakes on the cover.

 Another avalanche!

 After a moment, Bird of Paradise frowned and let go of his hand.

“There is nothing related to this ‘avalanche’ in his memory. Perhaps this part of the memory is stored elsewhere.”

 “Unlikely,” Gao Gong shook his head and shook the disc in his hand.

“If he really didn’t want this part of his memory to be discovered, why would he leave such a conspicuous thing?”

‘Black Leaf’ was quickly awakened. Facing these two vicious intruders, he remained completely calm, bowing his head and shoulders, lowering his eyes.

“I can’t remember where this thing came from. I have a hobby of collecting ancient music discs. I often go to some antique shops to scan for goods. Maybe I bought it from an antique store while shopping.”

“Did you know that someone is selling this thing online, and the final source is you!”

"I have never done anything like this. In our industry, we have to keep a low profile. We are not disk dealers, and we are not likely to spread a certain 'dangerous software'. This is courting death, and customers will no longer trust us. "

 ‘Black Leaf’ quickly defended.

 Gaogong and Bird of Paradise looked at each other, and Bird of Paradise said indifferently: "Then hand over the other backup memories and let me check them one by one."

‘Black Leaf’ laughed dryly: “This beauty, you also know that in our line of work, handing over backup memories is a dead end.”

 “You think you don’t have to die now?” Bird of Paradise asked.

"Although I can't escape, the most I can do is die as a physical account," said the 'Black Leaf' confidently.

 “Really, let’s try it.”

Gao Gong called Gao Yuanyuan in his heart, and soon, five coordinates were transmitted.

 Purple light flashes several times.

 I saw five "black leaves" appearing in this small house, all of them in a comatose state.

In the frightened eyes of ‘Black Leaf’, Gao Gong chuckled:

 “Don’t get too excited, maybe you still have a backup stored on the Internet.”
