Ziwu explained to the other five people: "As I said before, people who enter this town to trade source code come from all walks of life. There are hackers of their own, arms dealers in the underground arms market, and representatives of representatives like Luofik just now.
A representative of a weapons company from a behemoth like Lockheed."
"This town is divided into three levels based on the different backgrounds of traders, using red, purple, and black cards to distinguish them. There is no difference in the length of stay in the town between the three types of cards. In normal times, these three levels
There is basically no difference between the two types of cards. The only possible difference is the difference in reception attitude when entering places like hotels and bars, and the concern about whether other people will attack you after you complete the transaction."
"But when the 'Source Code Auction' is held, the classification of card colors becomes important, because it directly determines the card holder's seat position in the auction venue."
Zhou Bai took out his red card, looked through it, and said: "So, our cards are the lowest level. No wonder the guy at the door looked contemptuous when he came in just now, and looked at that Luo
Fick felt as if he had met his own father."
"However, if it's just a matter of seat location in the auction house, it doesn't actually matter much." Li Yifeng thought for a while and replied: "After all, the auction depends on one's own strength and has nothing to do with the seat."
"Indeed, if it is just a difference in the seats in the auction house, then this level division has no meaning. The 'source code' auction held here is different from the auctions we usually see. Before the auction starts, we don't
You will get a brochure and from that brochure you will know what will be auctioned at the auction."
Ziwu explained to the other five people: "The unknown is the biggest feature of the 'Source Code Auction'. Participating in the 'Source Code Auction' is a gamble, because you never know what the next auction item will be. Maybe you
You will miss the most valuable things while waiting; of course, you may also be able to wait for the most valuable auction items in this auction. The biggest difference between black cards and the other two color cards is not only in the auction
They get a seat at the front of the lot, and they get everything that's going to be auctioned before the auction starts."
"In other words, the holders of the black card can know the contents of the auction one step ahead of us, and then formulate an auction strategy according to their own needs." Li Ran said: "In this way, the holders of the black card will be prepared.
Auction instead of wasting your money on some useless auction items.”
"That's right." Ziwu nodded and said: "Another feature of the 'Source Code Auction' is that you can use the items you previously auctioned as funds for the second auction. That is to say, if you can know the contents of the auction items in advance,
, then you can buy something of value at a relatively low price in advance, and then invest this thing as funds in the second auction. This is all the privileges of the black card. But you can come and participate in the 'source code
None of the items at the auction are simple items, so it’s almost impossible to pick up the missing items.”
There are many hotels in the town, and the prices are naturally different. Luo Hao and the others chose a relatively ordinary hotel. For people like them who can sleep with clothes on even in a dangerous tropical rainforest, as long as they have
You can rest in a bed and don't care about the difference between a star hotel and a roadside hotel.
At the front desk of the hotel, six people showed their red cards to the waiter. The waiter took a photo of the six cards on the machine one by one, and then handed them back to Luo Hao and others along with the three room cards, saying: "The housing supply is relatively tight now, you guys
Only two people can stay in one room. When you check out, give me your ID card and room card."
Ziwu left one room card for himself, handed the remaining two room cards to Luo Hao and Li Yifeng respectively, and walked towards the stairs. This hotel only has three floors in total, so there is no elevator installed.
Can go up and down stairs via the stairs on the left and right sides.
Just when Luo Hao took the room card and was about to go upstairs, Luofik and the white man responsible for protecting his safety walked out of the hotel opposite the hotel. Seeing Luo Hao, the white man's eyes immediately became serious.
He got up, but soon he looked away again and followed Luofik to a bar in the town.
As he walked on the road, Lofik asked the white man following him: "David, do you have any problems with these people we met?"
Lofik came to participate in this year's "Source Code Auction" on behalf of Lockheed. Naturally, he was not a simple figure. He also noticed the change in the expression of David, the mercenary captain from the Blackwater Security Force.
"Mr. Luofik, don't you find it strange?" David asked Luofik: "They took the lowest-level red card. Those who hold this kind of card are generally free people with no identity background.
But it is obvious that these six people are all soldiers, and their steps illustrate their identities very well, and they are all Asians. Does this explain some problems? "
"You mean, they are..."
Luofik immediately understood what David wanted to express, but in the end he still did not say the last four words, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said: "Why did they come here? Are they here for SHADOW?"
!”
There is no airtight wall. EG team leader Shaye Ben Wallace is the long-lost legendary hacker SHADOW. Although the NSA tried its best to conceal it, some people still learned the news, such as Lockheed.
Companies that receive large orders from the U.S. military every year naturally have their people within the U.S. government.
"After the last battle between GHOST and SHADOW, both of them disappeared. It was only in recent years that there were occasional traces of GHOST's activities." Luofik said to David thoughtfully: "There have been rumors that GHOST joined the army and worked for the Chinese side.
Cultivate talents for electronic information confrontation. If their identities are really as we guessed, and they also came for SHADOW because of this ransomware virus, then..."
"GHOST is probably hiding among them!" David immediately understood the meaning of Luofik's words, and then asked Luofik: "GHOST and SHADOW are the same level of hacker experts, Mr. Luofik, what should we do?"
