Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

It was Zhuang Xuteng's first time to infiltrate with a "zombie". Since he had to take care of zombies, Zhuang Xuteng had another job besides taking care of himself and using his sensory tentacles to detect the surroundings. Only under his direct command can Tata's body posture be close to that of a normal person, so that his secret will not be revealed in the first second.

"There are quite a lot of monitoring equipment near the entrance. It can be seen that Dingxin Magic takes your safety very seriously." Before the car stopped, Zhuang Xuteng was already investigating the situation in advance. He and the ghost of the otter can communicate directly with the spirit without speaking, so there is no fear of being overheard by the taxi driver. "The room in the southeast corner of the second floor of the apartment, which is more than 100 square meters, is full of data servers for the monitoring system. There are at least thirty sensors at the door, plus hundreds of probes around the apartment, and the data is collected here. Then it was sent out through the Internet. My preliminary judgment is that more than half of the things in it are new.”

"I seem to remember..." Otter was a little nervous. He replied: "Some time ago, the company issued a notice saying that it wanted to improve employees' sense of security and prevent social unrest from threatening their lives. I thought it was just because of last year It’s a routine promotional activity because there are too many people dead, but you didn’t expect to spend money to upgrade the equipment?”

"Have you modified your identity verification methods during this time?"

"That's not true. I don't remember it." Otter thought for a while and replied: "What I said before my first stroke is definitely correct. After that, the memory and function of the brain may be lost, and the accuracy will decrease. Then …”

"It's okay, just adapt to the situation." Zhuang Xuteng rolled his neck and shoulders, and started to warm up while sitting down. "If it doesn't work, just run away. Most people can't stop me anyway."

"You are very good at adjusting your mentality and emotions..." Otter thought for a while, then smiled bitterly and said: "I'm dead, why should I be nervous? Remember this time, if the situation goes wrong, just bang your head on the wall to pieces . Or just jump off the building, head down, it must not be used by waste again. "

Zhuang Xuteng patted him on the shoulder and checked his skinny face one last time. When the bus arrived, it was time for the two of them to get off.

Dingxin Apartment is located 1.5 kilometers north of Dingxin Mochuang Peicheng Branch, separated from the office building by a small urban garden. The entire area is enclosed by walls and monitored roads, making it Dingxin Mochuang's own little paradise. The taxi can only park next to the road, enter the gate from here, and then go through two gates to reach the apartment. Needless to say, the entire road is covered with surveillance cameras and combat-type execution puppets patrolling and guarding the area, making it impossible for ordinary people to break in.

When the work badge and fingerprints were verified at the door, Zhuang Xuteng successfully passed the test using Jeremy's relics and remains, while Otter used his own. After passing the gate, Otter walked in front, and Zhuang Xuteng followed a step or so behind. Both of them closed their mouths and looked down at the road, keeping their pace slightly faster than ordinary people, trying to quickly complete the area full of surveillance cameras and detectors.

Fortunately, the otter still has a heartbeat and breathing, and his body's heat signature is the same as before. Zhuang Xuteng wears the company's armored suit, which can block most of the heat signature, but it would only be better if he proves to be a living person and not an execution puppet. It's possible that a body posture verification system is also used here. Anyway, Zhuang Xuteng also knows Jeremy's walking characteristics and can just imitate them completely.

They should not have triggered any alarms, otherwise the surrounding execution puppets and the company's security department would have taken action. The two people passed two more gates and finally arrived in front of Block C of the apartment building. The first floor of the building is full of identity verification and security equipment. As long as there are no problems here, it will pass.

Zhuang Xuteng looked up and saw that high-speed motion probes were installed around the perimeter of the building to detect ultra-high-speed objects around him, such as high-speed high-burst implants or ghost energy bombs. There is a rolling shutter on the outside of every window in the apartment. Otter said that this thing will be lowered suddenly when encountering danger to protect the window. If you want to jump off a building, you have to climb out of the window slowly, never too fast.

"It's possible that you'll be cut in half, so you won't be able to control your body posture and make sure your head is down."

The otter pokes its head forward, verifies its identity above the retinal scan, and speaks the corresponding common phrase according to the small letters seen in the same position. "Today's efforts are for tomorrow's success. I am proud of it."

Fortunately, these speechless words do not have to be read in an exciting and manic tone. Here we only test the voiceprint characteristics and do not pursue full emotions.

Zhuang Xuteng glanced at the execution puppet security guard next to him, pointed at his throat, and then followed Otter. He only performed reliable tests, avoided voiceprint and retinal examinations, and infiltrated the identity of previous visitors.

After entering the elevator, Otter can only go to the first floor and the 37th floor where he lives, but cannot go to other floors. In fact, there are no buttons in the elevator at all. When you enter, the floor is already determined based on the results of the identity authentication. The ghost of the otter said to Zhuang Xuteng: "It's weird. Why didn't I feel it before? This setting is like a prison... I used to feel happy and relaxed every time I came back. There must be something wrong with my brain."

Apparently, he was right, the shadow chip in the center of his brain was the source of the problem, and the company was the source of the problem.

Stepping out of the elevator is equivalent to passing the identity verification. Otter took out the key and opened the door. The physical lock here seemed to be a last attempt to resist the company's system. Otter's house is clean and tidy, everything is neatly organized, and all countertops are spotless. Zhuang Xuteng was a little surprised. He followed Ge Gongdao to investigate the otter's residence during the time when he disappeared. The place was in a mess. At most, there was only one advantage left: "I didn't forget to throw away the garbage." After being made a puppet, he turned into a cleaning expert?

"Now look, this place is disgusting." Otter didn't waste any time. As he spoke, he was already starting up the network device and looking for a usable copying device. Finally being able to fight back against the company made him feel excited for a long time. "If you think about it carefully, I actually regard cleaning as a hobby, and I can't stop when I get back here. Oh my god! Am I an execution puppet?"

Zhuang Xuteng could only shrug. He didn't need to answer this question. While the otter was busy, Zhuang Xuteng used his sensory tentacles to explore the apartment to see what other employees of the company were doing. However, it was working time and there was almost no one in the apartment. As Otter commented, there is a lack of life and no collective activities. It is more like a prison than a home. Even during off-duty hours, company employees prefer to go to the city to enjoy themselves as long as they are not sleeping. Back here, the only entertainment is the dream fog machine: when you book it, sleep and lose yourself in the dream of your choice.

"Starting the system, don't worry, this is normal, it will be fine in a while." Otter found a portable chip and was going to use it to copy things. He smiled, took a few hard breaths, and then said: "There is food in the refrigerator, and there is a box under the bed. In it is the money I hid, and I gave it to you. Hey, I don't feel hungry at all. It's really good……"

Zhuang Xuteng opened the refrigerator and took a look. It was full of various semi-finished foods, all of which were nutritious meals specially provided by Dingxin Magic. Looking at the labels, they all contain trace amounts of safe blue ingredients, and Zhuang Xuteng will definitely not eat them. "I asked, within the company, can we get food and beverages that do not contain safety blue at all?"

"I haven't paid attention to this matter. I can only say that the food I come into contact with has safety blue in it. What, are you allergic to that thing?" Otter tilted his head and asked.

"Well, it's quite allergic. Hey, why are I telling you this? You're already dead, so don't worry about it!" Zhuang Xuteng turned around and dragged out the box from under the bed. He opened it according to the password given by Otter. Inside was the daily routine clothes, some money, a few keys, a human skin mask and corresponding false identification documents.

"It's very interesting! You are completely controlled by the company, and you can still think of something to escape? Darling, you also have an annual pass that can be used to get on the train at any time. As long as you can get to the train station, you don't have to check the ticket at all, just jump on the train. Walk?"

Otter frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hand vigorously and said: "Damn it, I can't remember the relevant details. I guess this part of the memory fell in the area damaged by the stroke attack. Anyway, you can take it and use it. I will never do it again." It's no longer needed. By the way, open the closet and there's a combat-grade armored jacket on the far right. You can put it in a box and take it with you. Unfortunately, Brother Dao is too big and I don't have him here to use it. of."

"What level are these clothes of yours? I remember you only have a C-level confidentiality level, right?"

"Yes, I am a C8 level, not as good as the senior manager of the business development department. My equipment is not as good as theirs, but it is several grades higher than what is available on the black market. I have some at home... I can't remember. Forget it... I’ve entered the system, come and take a look?”

Zhuang Xuteng dropped his things and came over immediately, leaving the cleaning work to the resentful tentacles. Otter entered his username and password, logged into the work end of Dingxin Magic, and opened his work transaction processor.

"Eh...my...my communicator is broken. I can't use my personal assistant." Otter touched the back of his temple and pressed hard. When he took it away, there were some metal shavings on his fingertips.

"Sorry, I broke it to prevent you from sending positioning or help information when you were unconscious." Zhuang Xuteng didn't expect to steal information at that time, so he asked: "Can't it be read without those things?"

"Normally, a personal affairs assistant is used to assist communication. It is fast and convenient, and identity authentication can be performed at any time. If it is completely manual, it is too uncommon. I am worried that it will attract the attention of the internal audit department." Otter thought for a moment and said: "No, the risk is too great. You have to be able to go out with data for the data to be meaningful."

"What should we do?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"The more you read and the more complicated it is, the higher the risk. Naike, just choose one aspect and I'll see what I can get with my confidentiality level."

"In the address book, it's best to add your address and position." Zhuang Xuteng said: "If it doesn't work this time, try next time. As long as we can connect the information together, this operation will be a success."

"Yes, that's a good idea. I remember that I have it saved locally." Otter rummaged for a moment, nodded, and said, "I saved one half a year ago, and I'll give you a copy so that it doesn't work without an Internet connection. Trigger an alarm. I copied all the local files for you. I can’t remember what they are. Anyway, there is no password, or the password is taTazu!shua!666. You can go back and try it yourself. "

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and asked, "So, I can have another chance?"

"Yes." Otter nodded.

"Are there any other transformed people like you? Every time we find the same person, it means we have one more source of information."

Otter thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "There must be people like me, but people like me will definitely not have access to this information. The confidentiality level within the company is very strict, and information will be isolated. Once I search for this The information should trigger the alarm immediately. You said, I am an execution puppet, will there be an emergency shutdown function? "

"With the company's shamelessness, let alone executing the puppet, even living employees may install this function." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said: "Let's change the angle. What do you think can be done to damage the company to the maximum extent? If it’s still within your confidentiality level, then show me the relevant content.”

"Let me think about it..." The otter was thinking, and suddenly his body swayed and became motionless. Zhuang Xuteng hurried up to check and found that his cerebral blood vessels had been damaged in several places, indicating that he had suffered a fatal stroke. From a medical point of view, this stroke marks the complete end of Otter's career as a vegetative state. He is brain dead and can only perform the inertial operation of a puppet.

The ghost of the otter is still there, and necromancy, as a power that can truly cross the boundary between life and death, is exerting a strength that surpasses all shadow skills. At this moment, the necromancy-driven otter said to Zhuang Xuteng: "My body can't move, and my world is getting darker and darker... Quick, you do it!"

"Just tell me what you want to do!" Zhuang Xuteng removed Otter's hands and covered the keyboard, mouse and control panel with the tentacles of the vengeful spirit. "Describe how to do it, what should I enter?"

"Enter the key project log and assign tasks to individuals." Otter spoke as fast as he could, finishing all the steps in one breath. He could only believe that Zhuang Xuteng could definitely keep up. He did not dare to wait to see the results of every step of operation, for fear that the darkness of death would first envelope him. "There is a branch of the horizontal connection network assigned to me, an affiliated talent pool, which contains former gang members. Not only from Peicheng, but also from other cities. My task is to analyze their personality and abilities, and then assign them Go to the right position.”

"Continue to kill gangsters?" Zhuang Xuteng completed the operation step by step.

"No! The gang is just a side branch. You have to look at this network." Otter said: "I infer that this network has opened up the four major companies, and will also include branch companies, controlling companies and joint stock companies. All employees and potential employees will be included. Join a vast, unified talent pool.”

"If a company loses talent, it loses everything..."

"No! No no! Pay attention to the network, pay attention to the network, it should be connected to everything." Otter said: "It is new, just built, there is still a chance to go in. Go in, and..."

The otter's ghost was completely still. Zhuang Xuteng no longer had the strength to pull him back.
