Chapter 1443 Tears of the Times 1 (Part 2)

"Sir, if you want to default on your payment, I will not be polite."

The owner of the pub said, and several shop assistants came over. At once, several men who were preparing to pay the bill and leave became angry.

"Who wants to default on your payment? Can't we just record the bill first? We don't have enough cash."

The boss was also a little helpless, because the network was indeed not working, and the men only had less than 100 yuan in cash. They spent 300 yuan here, and the boss was also in a dilemma.

"Sir, if the network is not working, you can make a phone call. If you have friends nearby, ask them to help, or you can go to a nearby ATM to withdraw some cash."

"Wait a moment."

The man who invited his friends to dinner ran out and soon saw a Hillman Financial ATM on the side of the road. Soon the man entered his identity information on the panel, but the next second the man was dumbfounded. The system prompted that the information did not exist.

The man tried again in an instant, and at this time, several anxious men came over on the street. They all wanted to withdraw money, but soon after everyone tried, they found that their identity information did not exist.

Either input or identify, as long as you authenticate your identity information, you can withdraw money immediately.

But now it is difficult to withdraw the money. Many people called the police directly, but Section 5 told them to wait until tomorrow morning and go directly to the company to check, because the network in the city fluctuated, and there might be some system errors.

"What is going on?"

A woman yelled on the street. Her ai network has not been connected since last night. The ai network is obviously an independent network, and it is a higher quality encrypted network, but now the ai network is still not connected.

Some people can be seen everywhere on the street withdrawing money from the ATM, but at this time someone took out money from the ATM of Section 7. The news spread quickly. It turned out that there was a problem with Hillman Financial's network, and there was no problem with the ATM of Section 7.

There were people everywhere calling friends and relatives for help. More and more people could not check out, and some shops could only wait patiently. For some old customers, the shop owner was also reasonable and asked them to go back and rest first.

In a little reliable house, a man took some cash from the boss with a smile.

"Thanks, boss. I want to go out and have some fun."

"Just don't get tired."

The man walked out of the store, and outside was a woman dressed up in a very sexy outfit.

"Boss, are you ready?"

The man nodded, hugged the woman and ran to the hotel opposite, and handed the woman 100 yuan directly. The woman happily stuffed the money into her purse.

Gradually, more and more people walked on the street. Some people who were reveling in Aoyue went to the ATM of Section 7 to withdraw money directly. Many people wanted to have a bowl of hot breakfast.

It's just that it's a bit strange tonight, because the network has not been opened yet, and no one knows what's going on.

At this time, in the Hillman Financial Building on the middle floor, a large number of action departments have already moved in. At the door of a vault underground, accompanied by a violent explosion, the door did not move at all. In desperation, many staff members could only take the cutting tools and start cutting the door.

Jin Mangan and Vivian looked at the door of the vault with solemn eyes. Both of them were praying, praying that there were neatly arranged banknotes behind the door of the vault.

Only Eddie has the authority to open the door of this vault. On weekdays, only a little money is left in the Hillman Financial ATM every month, and the money of other users is kept in it.

"Be careful."

A director shouted, and gradually a hole was cut in the door of the vault. The door was very thick, with a thickness of 1 meter. Under the high-temperature cutting laser, a place large enough to accommodate people was cut open. A director directly used telekinesis to move the huge evil metal block out, but the next second, everyone looked at the door of the vault in horror, empty, nothing left.

Jin Mangan and Vivian ran in first. The entire underground vault should have a huge amount of banknotes, but these banknotes disappeared.

The rooms were empty, with only a part of the banknotes scattered on the ground. The criminal record did not clearly record the whereabouts of the banknotes. A large number of Section 7 personnel began to check with detection equipment. Sure enough, there were traces of transportation a few hours ago, and it was not manual transportation, but mechanical transportation.

Soon, they found the transport equipment hidden under the metal floor in the vault, and found an underground passage in a room.

"Asshole! Can't you let us live in peace even after death?"

Jin Mang looked at the charred things below angrily. They were burned banknotes. Such a large amount of banknotes were burned, and they were connected to the sewage treatment outlet. In other words, most of the money deposited in Hillman Finance in the city was burned.

Soon, with the help of the technicians of Section 10, the surveillance video was found. It was exactly at 11:59 that these banknotes were pushed into this passage in large quantities and burned directly. All the information in the database of Hillman Finance had been deleted and could not be restored, and no backup could be found.

Some underground Hillman Financial servers were also damaged to varying degrees because of the sudden overload and the self-destruct bombs that had been installed long ago. Without any warning, Prometheus deleted everything at the moment of Eddie's death.

Vivian looked at the empty vault in front of her with a heavy expression. Even if Congress wanted to print out such a large amount of banknotes, it would take many days. The most important thing was that everyone's information was deleted. The stock market would begin to collapse at dawn, and everything would end. Nearly half of the people in the city who deposited money in Hillman Financial had their money cleaned up.

Although Section 6 would get Hillman Financial's data records every month, now even part of the data within Section 6 was destroyed, and some handwritten records about Hillman Financial were directly replaced by Hillman family members who were inserted into Section 6.

All this was fatal to the city.

No one knew what to do. They could only look at the citizens' reactions first, and then try to appease the citizens as much as possible, and resolve all these crises invisibly.

Now everyone knows why there are always a lot of problems no matter how hard they try. All of this is the plan of the Hillman family, which constantly creates some problems for them and disrupts the normal operation of the entire city. Then the Hillman family will profit at the end of the line that has been designed long ago.

"We didn't even have time to say goodbye to the president. What on earth is this!"

Jin Mangan is still holding the phone. He has asked several directors of Section 7 to speed up the printing of banknotes. This is the only way at present, to directly distribute relief funds.

But the standards for the distribution of relief funds, as well as various issues, to which classes to distribute, and what to do with those business operators, some of them have invested all their savings in Hillman Finance. Even if you look at their past financial statements, it takes a lot of time to calculate how much money they have deposited.

"Don't think about anything, Vivian!"

Jin Mangan said and looked at Vivian.

"The president is gone. We can no longer rely on him in the future. We must do everything we imagined in the past."

5:38 am

Bang

A man was hung in the air, his hands were tied, his mouth was full of blood, he was laughing crazily, and his words were a bit messy.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Lord Keying!"

The directors around were still looking for data, but it was all in vain. The handwritten records that Vic was responsible for were taken out one by one. Many of them had been tampered with, but no one knew where they had been tampered with, because the data in the virtual database had also been tampered with by this man.

"Don't you know?"

Keying grabbed Vic's hair angrily and punched him in the face again. Vic whimpered, and blood kept flowing out of his nose and mouth.

"Zhuoyue, did you find you?"

Keying asked, and Zhuoyue, the secretary of Section 6, shook her head.

"I don't know what crime I committed, Keying"

Papa

Keying slapped Vic several times in anger, and Vic's teeth were knocked out.

"Your master Eddie Hillman is dead, all the Hillman family members are dead, and only you, a bastard, are left."

Keying threw a punch in excitement, but was immediately pulled away by Zhuoyue and several other directors.

"Alpha actually ruined his life for you scumbags, for you bastards, for you, you..."

Big tears fell on the desk. At this time, Vic seemed to have accepted his fate. A video of him stealing records and a video of his contact with the ghost face of the Hillman family were enough to explain everything. Vic shrugged his head.

"I didn't do it voluntarily. There was a bomb installed in my head, Lord Keying, I didn't do it voluntarily."

Vic roared.

Keying rushed over again in anger, but was still held tightly by Zhuoyue.

"Even if you kill him now, it won't help, Keying."

Zhuoyue said, and Keying looked at Vic.

"You have countless chances. As long as you go to a place where the network cannot be connected and there is no surveillance, you can tell everything, you bastard." Vic shrugged his head, and gradually he laughed. "This is just your play. It is impossible for us Hillman family." A director directly opened a light and shadow screen, which was full of broken limbs. In the Hillman family's manor, Vic's eyes widened. "How is it possible, how could it be?" Vic struggled excitedly. "I advise you to tell us what you know about the operation. What information have you tampered with? If you are unwilling to tell, you can spend a long life in Section 2 until you are willing to tell it!" At the same time, inside Hillman Grain Industry, the periphery has been surrounded by people from Section 3, and several directors from Section 3 are discussing how to attack. Many armed mutants were ready, but the remaining Hillman family bodyguards seemed to be preparing for resistance. They had checked a large number of rooms on the upper floors and found a large number of Hillman family laboratories and many things on criminal records.

Everyone is angry, waiting for the directors to designate a strategic call, and then directly attack the underground facility of the Hillman family. The structure of this underground facility is somewhat complicated, and according to some descriptions in the criminal record, there are... There are a large number of defensive weapons, and King Xue is also present. He has already put on protective equipment and will soon attack with the mutated people from Section 3.

All this is to rescue Billy as soon as possible, and everyone is still waiting for someone to come back. As long as Ling Hong is used as the assault point, their actions will be much easier.

5:49 am

A helicopter landed on the eastern guard station, and Ling Hong was already waiting. At this time, Ling Hong's expression was shocked, because she never imagined that such a major problem would occur in the city overnight.

The most critical issue was Alpha's problem. Ling Hong quickly entered the landing gear. She immediately received an order report, and now she needed to go to Hillman Grain Industry to lead the offensive.

Ling Hong pressed her forehead tiredly, having already waited here for 20 minutes, she roughly knew what happened last night.

"Why are you so stupid, Alpha? Why!"

Ling Hong pressed her forehead, lit a cigarette, and the helicopter began to take off.

Flying rapidly into the distance, Ling Hong opened the light and shadow panel and looked at it carefully. However, one shocking thing after another happened just last night.

"Niya!"

Ling Hong recalled that time she accidentally saw Niya on the street. Niya brought a group of people and wanted Ling Hong to teach them, but Ling Hong refused.

“It would be nice if I could spend some time teaching those guys.”

Everything started with the kidnapping case, and now the matter has become a foregone conclusion. Ling Hong changed the destination of the flight.

"Sorry, give me half an hour. I want to see Alpha first."

Ling Hong held up the phone, and Zi Juan was on the other side of the phone.

"I understand, I only give you half an hour."

"Is Osman okay?"

Ling Hong asked.

Zijuan hummed, her voice sounding a little dull. Ling Hong knew very well that Osman's current situation must be very bad.

"It's okay, it will get better."

Ling Hong comforted her.

"I can't change anything even if I'm there!"

Ling Hong said, Zijuan hung up the phone, Ling Hong smiled bitterly, and what happened to Jill was what surprised Ling Hong the most, but it had already happened, and Alpha helped Jill take revenge.

Ling Hong closed her eyes silently. Recently, she had finally made up her mind to lead the special inspection team in the barrier area, but now such a serious problem has occurred in the city.

Looking at the city below, the lights have been extinguished in many places, and it will be dawn soon. However, when the artificial sun rises, everything may change drastically.

Ling Hong was very unwilling and was not at the scene last night. Although she knew that she could not change anything at the scene, maybe Osman would not be so seriously injured. Ling Hong had already heard a classmate from Section 3 say, Osman's condition is very dangerous. His internal organs have been extremely severely damaged. Even if he recovers in the future, he may need to rely on drugs to maintain his life.

Ling Hong clenched her fists. She didn't know why Alpha would hit him so hard. Sad and angry thoughts were intertwined in Ling Hong's head. Ling Hong pressed her forehead. At this time, a huge one appeared on the horizon. Fireball, Ling Hong's lift has already leapt to the upper level and will soon arrive at Angus' house.

6 o'clock

The city began to be covered in red light. On the horizon, a huge fireball visible to the naked eye was condensing and burning. Gradually, the fireball began to grow larger and larger, and the light began to extend from the east toward the center of the city. , opened a little bit, the first morning of 2226 came.

Latis walked slowly to the door. At this time, a helicopter had stopped at the door. Alpha would be transferred directly to the prison. Latis walked in, and Jean was using telekinesis. The hospital bed is lifted together.

Slowly moving out, Latis looked at Alpha with a sad expression, and Jean nodded.

"It's okay. I hope you will keep a good eye on her from now on. If there is anything unusual, please contact me as soon as possible and I will arrive as soon as possible."

Latis nodded and watched Jean move Latis to the landing gear and closed his eyes. Huashen also followed. The Angus couple standing at the door cried and watched the hatch close little by little. , the helicopter slowly flew up.

Everything was over. In everyone's eyes, Latis took out a cigarette and looked at her empty right arm. A smile appeared on her lips. She didn't blame Alpha, and she wouldn't in the future.

Gene faced the sun and drove the take-off slowly. He wanted to go slower, slower still, at least so that Alpha could bathe in the sunshine for a while longer.

Huashen sat next to Alpha. He was still praying in his heart that there would be no changes after Alpha woke up. Although the hope was slim, if Alpha woke up and there were changes, Jean would directly take her. Taking him to the barrier area instantly will keep him away from the city. In this case, even if Alpha goes berserk again, there may be a way to solve it, but it will be impossible like this time.

6:09 am

Many people were lining up anxiously on the street, and many people with deposit accounts in Section 7 were waiting to withdraw money, because Hillman's mobile payment no longer works, and Hillman Financial had a big problem.

Many people have begun to complain because the network is still not open. Some people directly called the Xingxing Department to ask about the network situation, but the reply given by the Xingxing Department was always the same. The network was faulty and was being repaired. upgrade.

Locke looked at the situation on the streets of the city, still waiting for the investigation and deployment of the various departments of the General Affairs Department, because once the network is opened, the General Affairs Department will start to issue a statement, and this statement can only be based on the real situation Explain that most of the facts about the Hillman family's crimes have been uploaded to the congressional network. Those are crimes for which evidence has been found. They have been uploaded and will be announced after Locke delivers a televised speech.

Locke has thought very clearly. After announcing the truth this time, no matter what happens, he will stabilize everything. Now there is no way out in Congress. Members of the eight major factions have gathered and are meeting in the General Affairs Section. Everyone is We want to stabilize the mood of the urban people as soon as the truth is announced and there is an impact.

It is not easy to do all this. The city can reach this point. It is a miracle that the city has not collapsed due to such a meticulous criminal plan of the Hillman family.

"What's wrong, are you uneasy?"

Yu Wanrou looked at Locke Jiahui and asked, Locke shook his head.

"It's not uneasiness, it's just a feeling that I can't put into words."

Yu Wanrou hummed, walked over, gently hugged her husband's shoulders, and leaned her forehead gently against him.

"It's okay. You can do it. There have been countless problems in the city before, and each time they were more serious. It's just that this time the problem is a bit more special. It's okay."

Locke nodded. He understood what his wife was saying. Then Locke stood up. A large number of media reporters had come to the General Affairs Department. An hour ago, the reporters had received a notice of the televised speech. Almost all reporters in the city were coming.

Soon Locke came to the lobby of the General Affairs Department, where all the people in the General Affairs Department were waiting.

"Today, major changes will occur in the city. I just hope that everyone present will work hard to help the city survive this crisis."

The staff began to disperse. Only the director and the secretary in the general affairs department knew what happened. Most of the staff did not know yet. They only knew that some major changes seemed to be happening in the city today.

More and more reporters came to the square of the General Affairs Section. Locke stared at the reporters quietly, and soon the reporters gathered.

"I called everyone here today to announce something very important. A very serious incident occurred in the city last night, and we will announce it today."

Some reporters asked questions, and Locke shook his head with a smile.

"The announcement will begin at 9 o'clock. Now please enter the canteen of the General Affairs Department. We have prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you!"

The reporters no longer asked any questions and entered the hall and cafeteria of the General Affairs Department. Locke glanced at the sun in the distance and exhaled a long breath.

6:13 am

A helicopter landed on the lawn of the Angus family. Ling Hong ran out in a panic, but did not see Afa. She looked blankly at the Angus couple sitting at the door and the people standing there. On the lawn, Latis with an empty arm.

"Latis!"

Ling Hong looked at her blankly.

"Alpha is gone."

Ling Hong hummed and sat on the lawn.

"I'm late, sorry!"

Ling Hong said and looked at Latis' arm.

"It's okay, it's just an arm. We all owe Alpha a lot."

Ling Hong nodded, and she also understood that if Alpha had not adhered to the rules according to the things he believed in in the past, the city would have fallen to the bottom under the Hillman family's plan.

"Even if the truth is announced today, nothing will happen, because everything Alpha has done has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"

The two looked at the sun in the eastern sky and fell into deep thought.
