The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

"22 armed men are still on the move." Xu Yang has already seized control of the cameras and sensors inside the quarry. "There are two others who are trying to communicate with the outside world, but the signal has been blocked by me."

Signal jammers are commonplace. They were originally used to restrict employees from playing mobile phones in the company. Now they are controlled by Xu Yang and used to suppress the distress signals of security employees.

Deep underground, communication is extremely inconvenient, and a little interference can play a huge limiting role.

Mateo stood up from the car, turned his head and made two tactical gestures to the mercenaries behind him. They understood it, grabbed weapons, put on night vision goggles, jumped out of the vehicle, and rushed into the mining field.

Each of them seems to have rehearsed countless times in advance, almost like printing the information of the quarry in their minds. They are already familiar with the structure of the quarry, and even when the lights are completely turned off, they can find it with ease. The most suitable fighting position.

After the mercenaries broke into the quarry, gunshots continued to sound, accompanied by the screams of internal security personnel being killed.

There are a total of 6 mercenaries, but they can easily suppress many times the enemy. Obviously, the combat literacy of both sides is not at the same level.

Mateo didn't move, like a statue, still wearing sunglasses, but he seemed to be able to see everything around him.

Bacchus put on a communicator and kept reporting the coordinates and positions of surrounding enemies to the mercenaries, so that they could shoot and complete the cleanup work without much effort.

All of this was coordinated accurately and effectively, and the survivors were all killed before they could report the situation here.

"It's done." Bacchus nodded.

Mateo jumped out of the car and quickly entered the quarry. The mercenaries who were on the mission returned to the team, followed behind him, forming a tactical formation, guarding each other, and the flashlights on the muzzle shone.

"Have you been with them for a long time?" Xu Yang asked Bacchus, lagging behind.

"Yes," Bacchus nodded, "many missions, but Mateo... He came by 'airborne', and I can't tell."

No wonder Mateo's attitude toward Bacchus is a little alienated.

"Hacker witch... What was your original ability?"

"you are boring."

"We still have a long way to go."

"Inkjet," Bacchus stretched out his right hand, showing some black marks from the palm of his hand, "the most **** ability, the company kicked me out when I was 7 years old, I was discovered by everyone when I was doing graffiti on the street, and it was transformed into what it is now. High-intensity work."

"The taste of transformation must be unpleasant, and the ability is also suppressed."

"It's also better than starving and scavenging at the risk of being raped. I really can't stand someone like you. You have to run out of the company if you have a regular job."

"How much can you get?"

"Don't ask about dividends, this is the norm. Ah, I'm not jealous that you can get tens of millions..."

Passing through the fence, Xu Yang saw a huge industrial mining facility. It was painted bright yellow and looked like a sleeping monster, standing in the center of the camp.

The surrounding guard posts are tall and strong, almost integrated with the rock, overlooking the entire camp.

The security guards of the quarry who were shot were lying on the ground, and the surrounding forts and searchlights were silently stopped. When the mercenaries looked up, they saw the distant top of the ancient hollow, separated by a hundred feet, making people feel small, as if walking into a giant corpse.

Can't relax.

Mateo stared at the security guards, as if scanning to see if they were really dead.

"Come on, if they are in charge of a hard restart of the remote connection, we will be finished." Backus is also experienced and knows the risks behind the technology.

"If you say that, you may notice it at any time," Mateo said.

Common sense, Bacchus' assumption is correct. Xu Yang thought to himself. At the main console, someone must have noticed the fact that the equipment at the excavation site was offline, and immediately dispatched the company's quick response troops and ordered them to control the situation.

It's just that it's different now.

Xu Yang flipped through the program logs and sent and received data streams in his digital mind. There was no communication, and there was no evidence that any upper-level authority was observing or managing it.

In other words, it is very likely that Kyoto Infinity did not notice what happened here at all.

"We still have time." Xu Yang said, "They lack vigilance."

"It's our chance... keep up." Mateo said.

A mercenary walked behind Xu Yang and followed him, seemingly watching.

Xu Yang began to worry that these mercenaries would suddenly riot.

He used digital mind manipulation to restore part of the power supply, activate the surrounding motion sensors, temperature scans and cameras, set himself as a non-scanning object, and then began to monitor the every move of the mercenaries around him, feeding this data back to himself in real time.

If they wanted to do something to them suddenly, Xu Yang would react earlier than them.

Be cautious...

"There seems to be a minefield ahead. This morning, they checked the mine status." Xu Yang flipped through the security log and noticed a clue.

Some security devices operate completely independently and cannot be controlled from a common network.

"I'll mark them." Bacchus' eye implants began to scan, clacking, and 25 red light spots lit up on the ground ahead, indicating the location of the intellisense mines.

"You're very calm," Mateo glanced at Xu Yang, "I thought you would be a little busy."

"The money is about to arrive," Xu Yang said, "how could I be careless."

"That's the mentality I want to see... Come to think of it, Xu, the witch is an inexhaustible wealth that will make us all happy." Mateo led them to a stop at a downward slope, " ...This is where the ancient witch was."

Xu Yang saw a faint light coming from the inside, which was not produced by artificial technology. He could not scan the information of any equipment.

Mateo gave Bacchus a wink, and Bacchus operated on the small transmitter he carried and quickly sent a message out.

Xu Yang secretly intercepted the flow of information, the content of which was to summon a large shuttle.

In just 7 minutes, the shuttle will automatically navigate to the scene to assist them in their evacuation.

The plan is indeed very precise, and there must be support from outside. They're almost there, I'm just a temporary component in their planning chain hoping to get the money alive.

"Go." Mateo quickly ran down the slope, and Xu Yang caught up with the mercenary's urging.

The group walked down about fifty meters and came to an ancient tomb.

The entrance has been destroyed, and the four walls are tall and heavy, and there are old frescoes painted on them. The style is ancient, the colors are gorgeous, the lines are rough and simple, and the content cannot be identified.

The tomb is surrounded by immortal candlesticks. There are sixteen copper candles in total. The firelight jumps and illuminates the large ancient coffin in the center.

On the top, hanging long bronze chains, hangs an ancient brazier, from which a dizzying aroma emanates, as if burning some kind of spices and herbs, which have been burned for many centuries, and the fuel turns to ashes.

Except for Mateo, all the mercenaries took out an oxygen mask and put it on to filter the psychedelic gas in the air. Xu Yang also covered his mouth and nose, knowing that the gas was harmful and not beneficial.

No matter who the person who cast this tomb was, he hoped that the contents of the coffin would be forever sealed in the depths of the ground, sinking into a dream.

After looking around, Xu Yang moved his gaze to the coffin.

In an instant, he felt a shudder from the bottom of his heart.

This is human instinct, the defense consciousness inherited from genes, just like being stared at by a tiger or a lion, adrenaline begins to secrete, and the nerves are highly alert, ready to fight or escape at any time.

The sleeping thing in the coffin is far more terrifying than any beast.

"Gentlemen, this is it." Mateo strode towards the ancient coffin, "Hundreds of millions of actions, the cooperation of hundreds of people, after a series of sleepless nights, anxiety, panic, repeated assurances and plans... We finally The key to Paradise has been found."

This moment has finally arrived.

Xu Yang held his breath.

Mateo walked over to the ancient coffin.

"Should we open it?" a mercenary asked.

"It stands to reason that it should remain intact, but ... the container cannot be moved." Mateo tried the weight of the coffin.

Xu Yang noticed that the bottom of the coffin and the ground were fused together and could not be separated. Mateo could only give up his plan to take the coffin away. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com pushed the coffin lid open.

When the coffin lid moved, the flames of the four-cornered candlesticks flickered, as if in fear and as a warning.

Now Xu Yang can vaguely see the contents of the murals. Those are natural disasters, sacrifices, people suffering in the sea of ​​fire, and all things perishing in brilliance.

However, his attention was no longer on the frescoes.

After Mateo opened the coffin completely, Xu Yang couldn't help but look closer. The mercenaries also put down their guns and walked up unconsciously.

A witch is sleeping in the coffin.

She has a delicate face, long chestnut hair and messy, hands on her sides, wearing a gorgeous dark red dress with gold sleeves, embroidered with patterns, and the hem of the dress is decorated with fringes, jewels and gold thread, gorgeous Complicated, dignified and elegant, it has a magnificent temperament that modern technology can never imitate. Like an oil painting, like an untouchable dream.

In the coffin, the Holy Grail filled with gold, silver and jewels are all invaluable ancient treasures.

Looking closely at the witch's figure, Xu Yang saw that her chest rose slightly and her nose twitched.

The witch has a fresh face, breathing in her sleep, as if she had dreamed for thousands of years.

She is still alive.

"Take the target away." Mateo ordered the four mercenaries to start working together to lift the witch from the coffin and quickly move it out.

In an era when human faces can be changed at will, beautiful appearances are not uncommon. Even so, Xu Yang will never forget the witch's appearance, which is unique.

He held his breath and stepped back.

The moment the ancient witch was taken out of the tomb, Xu Yang glanced back, all sixteen ancient candlesticks went out in an instant, the tomb sank into pure darkness, and the brazier on the top no longer burned, leaving scarlet embers.

They could only pretend they didn't see this scene.
