Chapter 75 Military Academy Ranking Competition (9)
Shi Yun left the match scene, took a deep breath and put on his peaked cap and mask again, secretly thinking that he should not patronize the mech arena in the future, the shout just now was so loud that the roof of the mech arena was almost toppled.
She sent Qiu Muwei a message that she would withdraw first, put her hands back in her pockets, and walked out quickly before too many people found her.
She walked in a bit of a hurry and almost bumped into the person walking from the other side of the corridor. She stopped in time and took a few steps back, and the person almost stopped.
It is an old man wearing a mecha arena overalls. His hair is tied casually and looks a bit messy. He is holding a pile of metal materials. His hands are black and thin. If it weren’t for the overalls he was wearing, it would be said that he was picking up junk on the street.people believe.
Shi Yun walked sideways, knowing that while he was looking at the other party, he was also looking at himself.
The two passed each other in a tacit understanding, and Shi Yun vaguely felt that the other's face was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
She continued to walk out and heard someone shouting behind her, "Teacher Qin, why are you moving things by yourself? Why don't you just call a little robot?"
"You have to do something when you are old, otherwise your old bones will rust." The old man snorted.
Master X is the name for a mecha master, and Shi Yun looked back at the old man's back, making sure that he didn't know the mecha master with the surname Qin.
She thought to no avail, and hurried out of the mech arena before the audience came to block her.
The capital star in winter is covered in silver, and the snowflakes falling continuously from the sky are sharp and clear, white and clear. Shi Yun pressed the mask covering his cheeks with thick soft gloves, and called a hover car to go up.Suddenly, the hover vehicle of the Zerg Investigation Department roared past on the low-altitude orbit.
What happened?
As soon as this idea came up, her brain rang, it was Gu Xiange's communication.
His eyes were still blue and black, and his beard was unshaven. It seemed that he hadn't had much rest for several days.
His voice was tense, "Shi Yun, come to Lingjue Tower immediately! We are catching a very difficult Zerg parasite, and we need your help."
After he gave the order, he didn't have time to say extra words, so he immediately hung up her communication and ordered the staff of the investigation department to arm themselves.
Shi Yun didn't need gloves to put on the mask anymore, and quickly got on the hover car to locate the destination to Lingjue Pagoda.
Lingjue Pagoda is a very famous tourist attraction in Capital Star. It is thousands of meters high. From the top floor, you can overlook the Capital Star City. Due to the limited space, it is usually hard to get a ticket.
With Lingjue Pagoda as the center, the waterway within a diameter of 3,000 meters is under traffic control, and the staff of the investigation office are still assisting the evacuation of nearby people. Shi Yun successfully arrived at Lingjue Pagoda with the work card that Gu Xiange gave her before.
Dozens of hovering vehicles surrounded the entire Lingjue Tower from high to low. The inside of the tower was dark, and the dazzling lights were shining from the outside, almost piercing the whole tower into a sieve.
As soon as Shi Yun arrived, he was brought in front of Gu Xiange. His condition looked much worse than what was shown on the virtual screen.
Seeing Shi Yun, Gu Xiange pushed away the virtual screen in front of him, and said with a sigh of relief: "You are here, today's matter is a bit tricky, you must come."
The parasite this time is unusual. Before being parasitized, it was a killer with several S-level wanted warrants, and was active in the Croshire Empire.Half a year ago, because of the failed assassination, he was almost caught by the officials of the Crohir Empire. Later, he came to the Federation and hid in the capital of the Federation.
Due to the assassination of Wen Yunqing, the Capital Star was completely under martial law. The security systems of the major interstellar ports have been upgraded several levels. In addition, the Zerg parasites have been active recently, and genetic testing has been added on the basis of the original investigation, making it impossible to leave. ThenThe National Security Department found clues.
The National Security Department didn't know that the other party was parasitized by the Zerg. When it issued an emergency mission to arrest three days ago, there were casualties.
After receiving the news, the Zerg Investigation Office joined the operation, but failed to arrest the parasite immediately. The latter was different from ordinary parasites.After that, quickly evacuate.
Or maybe the consciousness of the Zerg has eroded him. He changed his previous behavior of keeping a low profile and hiding, deliberately revealing the trajectory of his actions, devouring ordinary people, and provoking the Zerg Investigation Office everywhere.
This afternoon, the Zerg Investigation Department and the National Security Department surrounded him in an abandoned factory. They thought that the other party was a turtle in the urn, but they did not expect that the other party showed super S-level combat power, injured many investigators, and ran away again!
This time, the parasite was not caught well, and was hit by a marked bomb from the Zerg Investigation Office, and suffered serious injuries. The Zerg Investigation Office immediately followed the signal of the marked bomb and chased after it.
The parasite is now in the Lingjue Tower, but the other party got a signal jammer somewhere, which made it impossible for the marking signal to accurately locate it.
Unfortunately, there are still many staff and tourists on the Lingjue Tower.
At present, it is not possible to determine the situation of staff and tourists.
Let Shi Yun come over because her spiritual power can destroy the energy crystals of the Zerg. This time, this parasite must not be allowed to escape again.
When Shi Yun heard him explain the situation in a concise manner, her brows piled up. She didn't know much, but she also knew that over the years, there had been no super S-class Zerg parasites, even if it was caught in the Changgen Mountains.Xue Baiyu also only has S-level combat power.
She looked up at the towering Lingjue Pagoda, and wanted to ask how to catch the parasites, but she caught a glimpse of Xie Hanshuo walking from the front right from the corner of her eye.
He was wearing the uniform of the Zerg Investigation Office, and his expression was slightly cold. Frost and snow seemed to have settled in his dark blue pupils, and the ice ridges formed crystals.
Seeing Shi Yun, he was slightly surprised. After nodding slightly, he said to Gu Xiange: "The situation is not that bad. The parasite has captured the staff and tourists and wants to negotiate with us."
"Negotiation?" Before Gu Xiange could speak, a voice came first.
Qin Shi hurried over with his secretary. His right hand was hung in a plaster cast on his neck, and there were all kinds of small scratches on his face..
Shi Yun paused.
Qin Shi obviously didn't expect to see her here, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise, but now is obviously not the time to greet her, after nodding to her, he said: "He was parasitized by the Zerg and his brain was eaten.? Injured so many of us, and he was also parasitized. If he wants to survive without giving up his hands, he is going to threaten us with hostages?"
The idea of the parasite is easy to guess. He was besieged by the Zerg Investigation Office in Lingjue Tower and was injured. Even if he could escape again, he would not be able to leave the capital star. Moreover, he was marked with bombs. No matter where he fled to investigateCan chase everywhere.
If we can negotiate and leave the capital star in an interstellar spaceship, maybe we can win back a life.
But this is obviously a dying struggle.
"We can't disregard the lives of the hostages." Gu Xiange said with a headache.
It was the first time he encountered such a difficult parasite, and he didn't know when he was parasitized. If it wasn't for the carpet investigation by the National Security Department, he would never have touched his tail.
It is impossible for the S-class Zerg parasite not to devour humans. How many people did it kill during the time it was parasitized?
To make matters worse, the Zerg Investigation Office was unable to determine whether the S-level Zerg parasitized him, or whether the Zerg continued to devour humans to reach the S-level after parasitizing him.
If it's the former, it's even more frightening. There are S-class Zergs quietly lurking in the Capital Star, but no one knows it. It's as creepy as a federal general being parasitized by Zergs.
Shi Yun rested his chin and thought for a while, then said: "He escaped from your hands several times, and he deliberately left clues, which shows that he is not afraid of the investigation department finding him at all. Isn't it strange to propose negotiations according to his behavior style?"
"Did he give evidence that the hostage is in his hands?" Shi Yun turned to ask Xie Hanshuo, who shook his head.
Negotiating without giving a clear bargaining chip is too insincere, and it is hard not to doubt whether there is fraud in it.
Even if not, the Investigation Office would not dare to act lightly, because they were afraid that the parasites would jump over the wall in a hurry and really devour the staff and tourists in Lingjue Tower.
Xie Hanshuo understood what she meant, and stretched out his hand to open the virtual screen, presenting the detailed model of Lingjue Pagoda to everyone.
"When predicting the escape route of the parasite, the investigation department had warned the security department of Lingjue Tower in advance. There were few people today, and the security department successfully evacuated some tourists. Those who were still in the tower were too late to come out at the time. ButThe heat detectors did not detect any living beings."
He paused, and continued: "Now there are two possibilities, one is that the people inside are dead, and the other is that they are in a place that can block the heat source detector."
Zerg parasites can control their own body temperature, and heat detectors do not work on them.
Qin Shi pointed to a certain part of the model and said: "When we were doing dangerous building screening before, we investigated Lingjue Tower. There is a general control room on the 150th floor. The security system is very strict to prevent outsiders fromIt was built by the invasion, and those who have no time to evacuate are likely to be in the main control room."
Since the two incidents of high-altitude sniper killings, the Cangxuan Federation has conducted a comprehensive screening of dangerous buildings, not only strengthening monitoring, but also setting up monitoring systems in places that are not commonly used such as safe passages.
Lingjue Tower can overlook the entire capital Xingyang City. It is a dangerous building among dangerous buildings. Who knows that something happened in this key screening place not long after the screening.
After Qin Shi finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Couldn't it be this killer who did the previous thing?"
Shi Yun's eyebrows twitched, and he cast a puzzled look calmly, "What's the matter?"
Qin Shi shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Rescue is more important now. We tried to kill the other party before, but the self-healing ability of this parasite is too strong. If we don't destroy his energy crystal, we can't kill him completely."
"I'll go." Xie Hanshuo looked at Gu Xiange.
"I don't know where the parasite is, and I can't be sure whether the rest of the people are in his hands. You negotiate with him to buy time, and I will climb up."
Thanks to the screening of dangerous buildings by the National Security Office, Lingjue Pagoda has installed the most advanced monitoring system. If a parasite takes control of the main control room, entering from the inside will scare the snake.Climb up.
"No! It's too dangerous for you alone. I asked Shi Yun to cooperate with the arrest work." He said vaguely, and he couldn't tell others that Shi Yun's mental power could kill the Zerg.
"She has a low level of physical fitness, and going up with me will only hinder me." Xie Hanshuo's expression was calm, and his words of disgust were fresh and refined.
Shi Yun: "..."
Compared with SSS-level physical fitness, S-level physical fitness is indeed not enough.
Shi Yun didn't care about his words, Xie Hanshuo was obviously helping her out of this matter, she could have S-level physical fitness, but she couldn't expose it to Qin Shi now.
Qin Shi is too perceptive, not to mention that she cannot tell Qin Shi what she told Cold Starfish Institute.
With SSS+ mental power, she cannot be exposed. She is a top secret among top secrets. If one less person knows her, she will be more secure. Otherwise, other countries will hunt her down endlessly. Compared with her being S and QAQ, her identity will be exposed., even more terrifying.
Therefore, in Qin Shi's view, she has possessed S-level physical fitness in a short period of time. C-level to S-level is a gap that most people cannot cross in this lifetime.Get rid of suspicion.
"You might as well report my terminal number." Nan Lichen came over holding the mobile tools.
Facing the eyes of several people, he opened the virtual screen, flipped his fingers on the virtual keyboard, and said: "I just got the data of the entire system of Lingjue Tower. It is divided into two independent lines inside and outside. The main controlOnly control the data at the core level, and the monitoring system is independent of the main control room. According to the current situation, it should be controlled by the parasite."
"I tried to crack the monitoring system with the program given by the National Security Department. As a result, the network used by the monitoring system console is independent. To seize control, I must crack within the range covered by the network. And its network coverage is onlyThe ninety-ninth floor, so I have to go up too."
Gu Xiange was almost dizzy, but after understanding a little, the system set up by the National Security Department to prevent intrusion is now baffled by his own people.
"The fewer people go up, the better. Tell me the method to crack it, and I'll come." Xie Hanshuo took the equipment and prepared to change it.
Shi Yun looked at Nan Lichen, wondering why he was here, but the latter spread his hands, "My brother is up there."
He didn't look too worried.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Hanshuo and said angrily, "Do you think you have three heads and six arms? You come to everything, and the parasite doesn't know where it is. It takes time to seize control. What if he attacks while you are acting?"
"You are indeed too weak. Find someone who can crack it." Xie Hanshuo turned his gaze to Qin Shi. The latter has been investigating two high-altitude sniping incidents for a while, and the people from the Zerg Investigation Office are not good at cracking data.The National Security Department definitely has such technicians.
Nan Lichen didn't know how to refute him when he heard the words "too weak" outrightly.
Fighting alone, ten of them are not Xie Hanshuo's opponent, the latter is qualified to judge him as too weak.
"You guys discuss it first." Shi Yun said, taking a set of action tools along the way, ready to replace them.
Xie Hanshuo grabbed her arm, Shi Yun turned his head and said, "What's that like talking? I'm also an investigator of the Zerg Investigation Office."
She raised her chin to Gu Xiange, and the latter nodded as if to support the situation, "Today's action Shi Yun must go up."
He couldn't delay any longer, the parasite needed to be killed in one blow, he did not deny that Xie Hanshuo was powerful enough to defeat the parasite, but time was running out and hesitation changed.
Qin Shi's gaze circled among the few people, probably knowing that the Zerg Investigation Office kept this secret and that, and he was also thinking about the fact that he couldn't check Xie Hanshuo's information with his own authority.
Is there anything about Shi Yun that must be kept secret?
Gu Xiange, as the commander-in-chief of the operation, decided that Shi Yun and Xie Hanshuo climbed to the 150th floor from the outside to check the situation, and the National Security Department operatives climbed to the 99th floor, trying to seize control.
The rest of the people were on standby at any time, especially the high-altitude suspension vehicle. When the parasite was discovered, all operatives immediately entered the Lingjue Tower and strangled it.
The investigation department has also contacted the parasite, the space where the latter is located is pitch black, and the voice is as hoarse as the rustling sound of a rusty sickle sawing wood.
He gave a video of a tourist crying bitterly, and warned: "Let your suspension car retreat to 10 kilometers away, and you will only be given three minutes, otherwise I will kill him."
After he finished speaking, he immediately pinched the video. Both Gu Xiange and Qin Shi looked extremely ugly. They were still lucky, and the parasite had no hostages.
From the looks of it now, maybe someone did enter the main control room, but someone also fell into the hands of the parasite.
Shi Yun and Xie Hanshuo had already changed into their black combat uniforms and equipped them with weapons.
When Shi Yun got off the suspension car, he saw Xie Hanshuo standing outside, not knowing what he was thinking. He glanced left and right, saw that no one was paying attention to him, and dragged him into the suspension car. The latter didn't expect her to sneak attack, and was quite embarrassedSitting on the back seat, his eyes were puzzled.
She coughed lightly and stretched out her hand.
Xie Hanshuo handed out his palm without knowing why, Shi Yun groped around in his clothes, and put a dark silver ring in his palm.
Seeing the handsome little crying bag's eyes widen, Shi Yun put the ring on the index finger of his right hand, and when he touched the ring with overflowing mental power, the thin fluid metal stretched out instantly, completely covering her body in just one second.cover.
She became a dark silver metal person, and said under Xie Hanshuo's slightly shocked eyes: "This is the ring I made from the fluid metal I found in the Changgen Mountains. I adjusted its microstructure so that it can appear when it is not in use."It is in the shape of a solid ring, and after being stimulated with mental power, it can be extended quickly to cover the surface of the body, resisting the weight of a thousand kilograms, and at the same time use its ability to rebound force to enhance the user's strength."
She withdrew her mental power, and the fluid metal receded at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to an ordinary dark silver ring.
Xie Hanshuo pursed his lips and looked at the ring. Under Shi Yun's encouraging eyes, he pinched the ring with his right hand and put it on the ring finger of his left hand. He successfully saw her pupils open slightly.
The ring shrunk and wrapped around his ring finger, producing several different radiances for no reason.
He slightly bent his lips and said in a low voice, "It's very suitable."
Shi Yun: "..."
A strange misunderstanding seemed to have occurred. She just thought it was more convenient to wear a ring than other things, and she really didn't mean any other mess.
"You...you try it..." She was a little stunned, and probably couldn't resist the handsome little crying bag, so she said in a deliberate tone, "Why don't you change—" a finger?
Before he could say the next few words, the staff from the Zerg Investigation Office came and knocked on the door of the hovercar. After Xie Hanshuo opened the door, his eyes wandered around the two, probably thinking about why a man and a womanChanging combat uniforms can be changed to the same suspension vehicle.
When she touched Xie Hanshuo's expressionless face, she quickly withdrew her gossiping gaze and said seriously, "Everything is ready, and the action will start in three minutes."
Xie Hanshuo raised his left hand and pulled the slightly tight collar of his combat uniform. When the eyes of the staff fell on his left ring finger, he lowered his hand calmly, turned his head and said to Shi Yun, "Then let's go over quickly."
Shi Yun bent her right index finger, which was also wearing a ring, and felt that the development of the matter was like a wild horse that had run loose. She couldn't pull back ten reins.
The situation was urgent and there was no time to talk nonsense, so she followed Xie Hanshuo to the prepared location.
Gu Xiange quickly explained: "It is necessary to keep in touch with the ground at all times and ensure the safety of the hostages. If it is really irreparable, it is allowed to exchange the minimum loss for the maximum benefit."
The last sentence is very heavy. It is difficult for a human being taken hostage by a parasite to say whether he was parasitized by the Zerg.
After the death of the worm mother, the Federation has always followed the principle of saving them as soon as they can. Even if some have been completely parasitized, as long as they have not taken off their human shells, the Zerg Investigation Office will not directly detain them until the final identification is made.kill.
Xie Hanshuo nodded. Ever since he cooperated with the Zerg Investigation Office to capture parasites, he has seen countless unspeakable scenes. From the very beginning, he would feel nauseated when he saw it, but now his expression remains unchanged. He can be said to be a seasoned investigator.He even felt that when faced with certain situations where he had to make a choice, he would make the most favorable choice indifferently.
Shi Yun put on the anti-reconnaissance device to isolate the heat source from detection, and threw out the steel wire weapon first, and tied it lightly to the metal frame of Lingjue Tower.
Compared with vertical buildings, the outer skeleton of Lingjue Tower is hollowed out, made up of metal skeletons, and the movable space is not small, but the two people climbing cannot move from inside the metal skeleton, otherwise they will be discovered by the monitoring system.
Moreover, in order to prevent someone from intruding from the outside, each floor will have an infrared detection every 15 seconds to detect whether there are redundant attachments on the metal frame outside the Lingjue Tower. The anti-detection device can confuse the detection of heat sources, but it cannot isolate the detection of foreign objects.
This means that the two not only have to climb the 150th floor of a nearly 700-meter-high building, but also have only 15 seconds for each floor, and more importantly, the infrared detection systems on each floor are independent of each other.irregular.
The two started to move, Qin Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said uncomfortably, "Is Shi Yun okay?"
As soon as he asked, his eyes widened in surprise. After the suspension vehicle withdrew, Lingjue Tower was completely dark. The two men in black combat uniforms almost merged with the night. Shi Yun, who went up first, borrowed a wire weapon,Like a dexterous ape in the mountains and forests, gently stepping on the metal skeleton outside the tower, it climbed up four or five floors in one go.
The undetectable detection infrared swept over, Qin Shi and the secretary behind him held their breath, Xie Hanshuo passed by Shi Yun's side, the latter grabbed his hand with a tacit understanding, and the two stepped on the metal skeleton at the same time,Arrived at the upper floor at the nick of time.
Gu Xiange didn't expect that they would have such a tacit cooperation, so he breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "She can."
Shi Yun did a very detailed inspection in Leng Haixing, including the impact of her cell activity on combat effectiveness, and the fact that Xue Baiyu was captured by her alone. Leng Xunshuang evaluated her physical fitness, which was far beyond ordinaryS class.
Ling Jueta's situation was so urgent, he didn't dare to recruit someone to make up the numbers.
Qin Shi watched the two people who kept climbing up, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Xie Hanshuo is not suspected, and Shi Yun is not suspected, but the two of them together, the suspicion is too great."
The secretary looked at him blankly, while Qin Shi stretched out his hand to support his forehead, "Damn it."
Xie Hanshuo has done a lot of rock climbing training. The Lingjue Tower is not even vertical, and has an external metal skeleton as a support. He climbs very easily. Shi Yun follows his rhythm, and at certain moments can accurately predict the detection of infrared rays.time.
Climbing to the ninety-odd floors, facing the cold wind of the tower, Shi Yun breathed out, "I've wanted to ask you for a long time, is Lan's growth related to you?"
Lan has always existed in the form of data in her brain and all places that can be connected to the Internet, and can easily tamper with the data on many occasions. To put it bluntly, he is simply more dangerous than a killer with several S-level arrest warrants.
Without Lan's help, she could not have successfully completed the two assassinations.
In human's inherent cognition, AI cannot possess intelligence and independent thinking ability, and they cannot create unknown things.
Lan has been in her hands for so long, and she has also updated the data for it, but she has never dared to touch the core data, because the string of data is too complicated, and easy changes may damage Lan.
For so many years, Lan's emotions and learning ability are almost indistinguishable from those of humans, and he can even be said to be a genius among humans.
Xie Hanshuo listened to her exhalation, his dark blue pupils were hidden in the darkness, and after a few seconds, Shi Yun heard his voice, "I and Lan are so similar, but you didn't recognize me."
Wronged Baba, terribly!
Shi Yun felt that he had stepped on a thunderbolt, and it was still the kind that couldn't be dismantled.
She pursed her cold lips, her brows were tied into a knot, and she listened to the little cry and said: "Lan's core data is a series of learning data, he is a real humanoid AI."
He said softly, exhaled, and said again: "I am very talented in data, and I wanted to be a smart AI designer when I was young."
Speaking of this, he chuckled, "It seems to be pretty good now."
Shi Yun raised his head, and the short hair on his forehead was blown away by the cold wind.She remembered the first time she met Xie Hanshuo, at the training ground of Beixuan Military Academy.
The white and round little glutinous rice dumpling cried and shouted not to train, but accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, and red marks appeared on the palm of his white hand. The instructor looked at him seriously and said that he was the hope of the Federation and that he should not be willful.
He seemed to be five years old, younger than her.
She was a little dumbfounded. She once ridiculed that the Federation has been reduced to pin its hopes on children who are still a little ignorant of the world?
She was so courageous that she grabbed her little crying bag and ran out, because the instructor didn't dare to stop her because of her special status.
Little Crying Bag, whose tears were not wiped off, sat on the swing and looked at her, his eyes were full of curiosity and admiration, like a princess watching to save her prince after slaying a dragon.
Then, kissed her on the cheek.
With the mentality of an old aunt, she bit the little crying bag's cheek and made him cry.
Qiu Jianli came over and happened to see this scene, and spanked her.
Shi Yun hadn't been so embarrassing in his previous two lives.
She threw out the steel wire weapon to hook the metal skeleton above, stepped on it, climbed up, and stretched out her hand to the hope of the Federation.
Xie Hanshuo's dark blue pupils lit up. The two of them shook hands and stepped on the metal skeleton ninety-nine floors away.
