Fifteen minutes later, Deng Huailing walked into Yanling's office building. Nelson and Kate were already wearing simple and neat combat uniforms, leaning against the door with tactical backpacks on their backs, waiting for him.He pushed the door open, and there were more than 30 hunters sitting or standing in the reception room, leaning on the sofa and chatting. When they saw him coming in, the hunters stood up and greeted him one after another.hands.

"Boss, these are hunters who voluntarily followed you to the main city. They are all experienced A-levels." Nelson introduced, "You should be familiar with a few of them, most of them are former watchmen.Their origins are trustworthy. They are divided into three groups according to their areas of expertise, hackers are under Kate’s control, and you and I each lead a commando team, is this arrangement okay?”

"I have no objection." After greeting the hunters briefly, Deng Huailing noticed a long row of weapon boxes by the wall.In the open box, there are layers of expensive guns of various colors, ranging from pistols to sniper rifles, but the appearance is a shape he has never seen before, it looks like miniature electromagnetic guns or laser cannons.

"This is Igor's improved weapon to support us. He heard that you were going to take risks in the main city and emptied Yan Ling's arsenal to ensure that you can come back safely." Kate walked to him and looked down at the box."Each weapon has been modified by the experts in the branch. I heard that the power is several times that of the original model. It is also Igor's kindness. Do you want to pick some?"

"Igor?" Deng Huailing picked up two pistols to examine, then shook his head, he was too far behind the trend, and really didn't need these fancy things, "No, I just use a knife."

He put down his gun, walked inside, and knocked on the door of Igor's office.There was no answer behind the door. Deng Huailing turned the handle and found that it was locked. He frowned and knocked on the door harder: "Igor, I know you are hiding here. Where is the thing I want?"

There was still no sound from inside the door, Deng Huailing didn't talk nonsense, took out a wire from his pocket, and began to pick the lock of the other party's office with his hands.Ten seconds later, the door was opened with a bang, and Igor was holding on to the doorknob, obviously forced to escape by his hooliganism: "Deng, is this how you destroy Yanling's public property?"

"I don't have time to argue with you. I'm leaving in five minutes." Deng Huailing's brown eyes were focused, and his whole body was filled with a cold aura.He stretched out his hand, as if asking for a few candies, "Where is the nuclear bomb I want?"

"You also know that after the war eighty years ago, the Cesina government promulgated a permanent nuclear ban treaty?" Igor's face was full of wrinkles, and this old Russian man rarely showed such a sad look, "No one has used nuclear weapons in war for 80 years, and Robert and Rosie are also very restrained, so that the city was not destroyed in a nuclear explosion. Are you not afraid of accidents when you use nuclear bombs without Rosie's consent?"

"What I want from you is just a few hundred tons of gadgets, each of which is only enough to blow up a building. What does it have to do with the destruction of the city?"The second district brings ethical troubles, but the chess game has come to the end, as long as I can kill my opponent with one blow, no one can accuse me of fouling. Dead people cannot speak."

"You... are such a gambler." Igor was speechless for a long time, but he couldn't find a word to refute the other party's robber logic.Deng Huailing still stood quietly at the door and watched him. After struggling for a long time, he finally walked into the office helplessly, entered a string of passwords on the wall's built-in safe, and scanned his irises.

The safe opened in front of them, and inside were three metal suitcases lined up.On the surface of the suitcase, a radiation warning sign was printed in dazzling bright yellow. On the top of the suitcase was a simple keyboard for setting the explosion time and a red button for confirmation.

Deng Huailing said "thank you", picked up three boxes, and walked out of the office under Igor's worried eyes.In the reception room outside, the other hunters just raised their eyebrows when they saw the things in his hands, and even whistled and applauded, carrying backpacks and weapons, and cheeringly surrounded Deng Huailing to go out.

... It turns out that Deng Huailing is not the only one who is crazy.Igor leaned on the door frame and thought worriedly, maybe he couldn't keep up with the times, Yanling really gathered a group of crazy people who pursued excitement.

Deng Huailing led the hunters out of Yanling's office building and rushed towards the nearest capsule train station.Nelson walked beside him and asked rigorously: "Boss, you haven't told us what the specific plan is. You just said that you are going to blow up the data storage center, but how on earth are we going to sneak into the main city? Now is the battleAt that time, the border of the main urban area was martial law very early."

"We don't cross the border on the ground. The main city is at war with the second district. It is impossible to bribe the checkpoint at the border." Deng Huailing thought while driving, "East 2 may have a secret passage leading to the main city.", let’s go underground. Of course, we must first enter the East 2 underground city.”

"Wait, East 2?" Kate caught up from behind, and said in surprise, "Didn't the dungeon of East 2 fall long ago? Even the tunnel between the partition doors was blown down. How are we going to get there? Dig a hole."?"

"Get on the bus first. I asked Rose to help finalize the action plan this time. She will explain the specific details to you on the bus." Deng Huailing stopped and boarded the platform.Yanling's office is close to the administrative center, so it is naturally very close to the station, and they have already arrived at the platform while talking.

An unremarkable four-carriage special train was parked in the milky-white tunnel, which was secretly transferred by Rose for them. The first two carriages were for people, and the last two carriages were for transporting goods.When Kate followed Deng Huailing into the carriage ahead, she looked back and vaguely saw that the cargo compartment was filled with vehicles similar to suspension motorcycles, but the propellers were added to the rear of the vehicle, which seemed to be an improved version of amphibious amphibious vehicles..

A complete set of diving equipment was neatly placed on the seat of the motorcycle. Before Kate had time to look at it, she walked into the front compartment and sat next to Nelson, separated from Deng Huailing by a corridor.After the rest of the hunters found their seats and sat down, the train began to slide, and the on-board screen lit up.

"Good morning hunters, please allow me to take a few minutes to explain this action plan to Mr. Deng." The girl in the blond hair and white skirt appeared on the car screen, with a slowly rotating 3D map behind her, "We are taking theThe train goes to the new base at the northernmost end of East 1, and through the elevators there, everyone can ascend to the ground."

Rose zoomed in on the location of the northernmost base, drew an upward arrow along the elevator, and then the arrow turned horizontally, moving close to the ground, "There is no fighting at this location, as long as we advance a short distance, we can reach it."The new base of East 2, from there enter the East 2 dungeon."

She drew another downward arrow to indicate the elevator under the new base, and thus they reached the end of their short journey.

This road map actually answered Kate's previous question, they didn't have to dig a hole to go to East 2.However, a new question was raised again: "But, after the fall of the East 2 dungeon, wasn't it occupied by bionics? If we just take the elevator down like this, won't we become living targets?"

"After the fall of East 2, the bionics slaughtered all the remaining civilians in the dungeon and left." Rose replied, "It doesn't make sense for Robert to occupy the dungeon. It has no tactical value there, and he doesn't intend to colonize it underground., all the androids have been evacuated at present, after all, he still needs more troops to fight on the front line."

"Then according to what you said, East 2 is now an empty city?" Nelson was dubious, but still not at ease.

Rose shook his head: "Not all of them. The bionic army left a certain number of automated weapons and cameras there to monitor outsiders in real time, preventing 'shu' from easily regaining East 2. But our team is not huge, as long as there are peopleBringing a small electromagnetic shielding device in can effectively avoid those weapons, Ms. Zisk should be able to operate it?"

"No problem, I'll take care of it." Kate, whose surname was called, nodded to Rose, then turned to Deng Huailing, "But then again, boss, you told us to go to the East 2 dungeon, but I never heardDid you mention that there is a secret passage there? How do you know information that even Yan Ling can't investigate?"

"I'm not sure if there is such a secret passage. It's just a guess." After Deng Huailing said this, he noticed Kate's eyes of "why are you so unreliable?"There are many secret passages built in the main city. Rosie took me there during Scarlet Christmas. The secret passage is very long and leads to the outside of the bustling area, so I wonder if there are longer secret passages that can lead to the outside of the city?"

He leaned against the window and meditated, "But I can't ask Rosie directly, I can only speculate based on the details. East 2 used to be the killer's jurisdiction.They all settled in the black market, in the doctor's clinic. He never mentioned life outside the black market, so I wonder if he met doctors in the black market since he came to the city..."

"And the black market itself is part of the unfinished dungeon!" Kate thought of something and suddenly exclaimed, "Eighty years ago, Cesina proposed to the government to build a new dungeon under the main city to accommodate the second district."Residents, solve the radiation problem."

"... This proposal was shelved after her death. The unfinished dungeon became ruins, and the black market was only a small part of it. No one knows how big this abandoned ruin is, big enough to be as big asThe two districts are connected!"

Deng Huailing smiled lightly and snapped his fingers: "You got the answer right, but there is no reward. After Scarlet Christmas was rescued, I investigated the ruins and found that most of the secret passages of 'Spell' were built on its foundation; soI have a doubt, is the corner of that unfinished dungeon connected to the secret passage of the East 2 dungeon, so the killer came directly to the black market through the secret passage?"

Although his guess is bold, it also has some evidence.Nelson was somewhat convinced, but still asked suspiciously: "Even if your guess is correct, do you know where this secret passage is?"

"I don't know, I asked Rose to search the database of 'Skill', but I couldn't find any records about this secret passage." Deng Huailing looked at the artificial intelligence girl on the screen, "But after Rose's description of the map andSuppose, we identified the most likely location for the underpass, which is where East 2's water storage system connects to the groundwater—a waterway."

"So we're diving?" Nelson asked.

"Didn't this prepare diving equipment for you?" Deng Huailing pointed to the cargo compartment at the back, where Kate saw a complete set of diving suits and oxygen tanks when she entered.

"But if your guess is wrong, there is no such so-called secret passage, and we will never dive to the bottom?" Kate said casually, but was shocked by her own hypothesis and shivered, and the hairs all over her body stood on end..Although diving is an essential skill for every A-level hunter, facing the bottomless groundwater is a personal fear.

"Then you swim back when the oxygen is reduced to half, and I'll figure out a way." Deng Huailing said nonchalantly, "If you can't think of a way, go back in despair, and get ready to be scolded by Rosie."

"..." Nelson and Kate were silent at the same time. Their boss is really a man of action, he can do whatever he thinks of efficiently, regardless of whether the method works or not.In Deng Huailing's eyes, the difficulties and obstacles ahead are not worth worrying about, but Rosie's blame is the most difficult thing that needs to be solved most carefully.

Deng Huailing lowered his head and glanced at the communicator, and the screen displayed a few messages that Rosie had just sent him, asking if he was back, and if he was blocked on the road due to a power outage.Even in such an urgent moment, Rosie couldn't even save herself, but she still thought about him, asking him about the journey with concern and tenderness.

He didn't want to lie to Rosie, but now was not the time to tell the truth, so he had to make up a few lies with guilt, saying that he was still stranded at the West 1 station and would not be back until two hours later.In fact, he is riding another capsule train farther and farther away from Rosie, rushing to an unknown and dangerous battlefield.

"I have one last question," Kate asked amid the slight jolt of the train, "Even if there is a secret passage in the East 2 dungeon, how can we hide it after we reach the main city? The data storage center is in the bustling area, where there arePoseidon's eyeliner, even if I can break through Poseidon's defense, it can only last for a dozen seconds, how can we not be discovered?"

"Don't forget that we also have an AI of the same magnitude as Poseidon, Rose said that she will solve it." Deng Huailing clicked on the girl on the screen, "By the way, Rose, you told me that there is a way to contain it."Poseidon, let the eyeliner of the whole city fail, but you haven't said what kind of method?"

Rose smiled sweetly, but the emotion on the corners of her lips was a bit sad: "Do you really want to listen, Mr. Deng? I don't know if you still remember the research results left by the killer in the form of electronic sheep. That document explained in detailThe principle of the formation of AI self-awareness."

"With this, I can invade and influence Poseidon's thinking, making him ignore your existence in the next few hours, but the price is that his consciousness and mine will gradually merge together."
