Thousands of high-rise buildings surround the crowded streets. Looking up at the sky, one feels as if one is in a deep well. The surroundings are filled with the hustle and bustle of the city. The roads are full of hurried pedestrians and vehicles. Occasionally, one or two traffic policemen wearing cotton coats can be seen leaning on them.
They were sitting in front of the police car on the roadside, smoking cigarettes and chatting. They occasionally rubbed their ears with thick cotton gloves, and the white hair that came out during the conversation was mixed together.
This is New Franklin City on Christmas Eve. During the catastrophes of the last century, the United States also gave birth to a series of heroes, one of whom was Jon Franklin. This newly built city on the ruins was named after him.
In the strong Christmas atmosphere, a Chinese boy wearing a fur coat was walking on the street carrying a bulging travel bag. His leather boots creaked on the snow on both sides of the road. He glanced at the GPS satellite on his wrist.
Looking at the map, my eyes turned to a coffee shop nearby.
Then he saw through the hazy glass a sunny boy about eighteen or nineteen years old waving to him. Next to him was an American girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with blond curly hair and white skin.
, as beautiful as a doll in a toy store.
The young man stomped the snow on his boots, lowered his head and pushed open the door of the cafe.
"Hello, Mr. Mingjian." The American boy said in extremely blunt Chinese. It was obvious that he had just learned this sentence.
A T-shirt that is obviously one size larger than his body, with a rock star holding a guitar and singing exaggeratedly printed on the chest, jeans that are deliberately worn to pieces, and an earring in his left ear. If it weren't for the wheelchair he was sitting on, Zhou would have
Jian couldn't believe that this American boy who was flamboyant and focused on individuality was the famous hacker in the bounty hunting world - the internet killer.
"Are you the employer this time?" Nicholas touched his smooth chin and said this sentence in English again. He looked up and down at the young man in front of him. He seemed to be the same age as him, but he did not expect that the other man was also so young.
"It's me." In the past, every time Zhou Jian took action, he would follow the Demon Slayer incarnation. However, this time, he first flew to Brazil as the Demon Slayer, and then transferred from Brazil to the United States in the Demon Slayer incarnation.
After all, infiltrating a military industrial laboratory is a crime of espionage, which is likely to involve the US FBI. Zhou Jian does not know much about high-tech criminal investigation. Although he used the disguise in the game, he was also afraid that other traces would be left.
Another important point is that he doesn't know if the blood crystal will be detected when he goes through the plane security check in his travel bag. If it is found out, given his fragility, he will die.
Putting it in the inventory is equivalent to being isolated from the world. He believes that no matter how good the airplane security check is, it will not be able to detect it. Even if it is detected, it will not be a problem to escape with the stealth ability of the Demon Slayer clone.
For the sake of caution, Zhou Jian's true self did not stay in the jungle hunter city in Brazil. After all, this city was a bit dangerous, and his true self was even more vulnerable when the ghost slayer was not around, so he chose Brasilia, the safest city in Brazil.
, it is under the control of the Brazilian government and the public security is relatively good.
"Are you Nicholas?"
"Obviously, this is my girlfriend." Nicholas shrugged and pointed to the fifteen or sixteen year old girl next to him.
Zhou Jian greeted politely.
Nicholas snapped his fingers, "Three cups of Blue Mountain, one cup without sugar, thank you."
Soon, a waitress in brown overalls came over with a tray and placed three cups of coffee. Nicholas picked up the one without sugar and drank it without stirring it with a spoon.
"Be careful with the ironing." The little beauty next to her said delicately.
Nicholas was obviously very impressed by the little beauty's concern. He completely ignored Zhou Jian, gently pinched the beauty's little face and said: "Baby, you really love me."
The beauty giggled at being teased. Nicholas took a sip of coffee with satisfaction, put down the cup, glanced up at Zhou Jian and said: "Friend from China, I am actually willing to go crazy with you, but at least give me a
The reason why I'm going crazy with you is that I don't want the FBI to come to my door the next day. Kelly and I are not married yet."
After Nicholas finished speaking, the girl named Kelly smiled happily.
Zhou Jian glanced at Kelly and said nothing. Nicholas saw Zhou Jian's concerns and added: "You can trust Kelly completely, or you don't trust me?"
"It's not about distrust. But when it comes to my special skills, I don't want to spread them. You just need to believe that I have a way to sneak into that place and a way for you to connect to the host. I just need you to provide a hundred-meter-long
Data transmission cables and piano cables of the same length." When it came to sensitive words such as military industrial laboratories, Zhou Jian did not say it clearly. After all, this is a public place, even if the possibility of being eavesdropped is not high.
"So you still don't want to tell me your infiltration method?"
"No comment, but you should understand that there is no reason for me to spend $100,000 and risk myself to die with you."
Nicholas laughed loudly, "That's not necessarily true. There are many crazy people in this world, but I like crazy things. If I can successfully hack into that computer...haha, I get excited just thinking about it."
"You don't hesitate anymore?"
"Okay, I'll go crazy with you once."
During the catastrophes of the last century, the academic community in the United States also suffered a big blow. The deaths of many scientists and professors caused many universities to be unable to survive after the catastrophes, and some private universities closed down. In this case, in order to recover the losses, the U.S. government
Funded the construction of Franklin University City in New Franklin, established a new university, and concentrated some technical talents here. After decades of development, it has become an academic center in the United States.
As night falls, the residential areas around the university town are lit up with sparse lights. The orange street lights shine on the white snow, glowing with a warm color. Occasionally, you can see a few college student couples snuggling on the benches in the park.
Kissing me while admiring the frozen lake.
Several children were skating on the lake. They were addicted to it and chased them desperately. They ignored their parents on the shore and called them home.
In such a cozy atmosphere, a white RV was parked on the road by the lake. The playful children and students took a few more glances because the RV had a somewhat special appearance.
The car body is about the same size as a Volvo, and there is an antenna like a small pot lid on the roof. In the scattered snowflakes, the antenna rotates like a radar.
The RV is filled with various instruments. Because the instruments take up too much space, the decoration seems very simple.
"Honey, coffee." In the RV, Kelly, who was wearing only a bath towel, placed a cup of hot coffee without sugar on her little husband's table.
"Thank you, my sweetheart." Nicholas, who was wearing pajamas, was lying on the sofa of the RV, taking the coffee and staring at the computer screen. Because his legs were disabled, his posture at this time was not comfortable.
On the computer screen, the light spot symbolizing Zhou Jian has approached the military industrial laboratory. At this speed, he will soon enter the warning zone.
