Chapter 167 Chapter 165 Protecting the Future

"Do you know who did it?"

Everything in front of her seemed to be mocking her negligence and incompetence, so Cassandra felt that she could hardly suppress her anger. The dolls were dismantled and burned, more than 200 kilograms of blue crystals were lost, and the frozen fish factory base can no longer be used, which means there is a lot of work to be done, which means a lot of overtime.

"According to the confession of the doorman, they were attacked by gangsters disguised as PCPD. There were three men and one woman. One of them was tall and strong and might be a member of the Beast Gang."

"Nonsense!" Cassandra shook her head and said: "The guys from the Beast Gang only operate with the Beast Gang. If they are from the Beast Gang, there should be four people."

"Are the rules of the Beast Gang very strict?"

boom! Cassandra punched, and the person who had just asked about the Beast Gang's rules was embedded in the wall. "Let the people from the insurance department handle it, use whatever they can, deduct his lost wages, and give the remaining seat pension to his family."

Cassandra's cold-blooded words made everyone present feel numb, but this was the power of life and death that the senior manager of the business development department had. These senior managers are responsible for several confidential projects. According to the company's confidentiality competition regulations, endangering the security of the company's major secrets is equivalent to causing losses to the company, and if the loss reaches a certain amount, you can be sentenced to death. In addition, the company can also invoke the "Security of Economic Operations" supplementary clause in the "Security and Self-Defense Law" to determine that theft of secrets above a certain level is a security infringement, and all actions to eliminate the infringement are of a self-defense nature, and will not be held accountable for anything. responsibility.

Just need to do some paperwork afterwards - let the secretary do it for you.

One of the important tasks of the insurance department is to deal with the aftermath, including the death of people and damage to the social environment. Dead employees are managed by insurance, their organs are removed, implants can be reused, and there is a fee for destroying their biometric information—such as clearing their browser history. Because organs and implants are so valuable, they generally cover closing costs and employee death benefits.

You said the family wanted to dispose of the body themselves? No, this involves company confidentiality, please do not harm the company's interests.

"First of all, find out one thing: whether it was done by gangs, mercenaries or other companies." Cassandra said to her subordinates: "I want to know the information of the operator on the puppet side immediately, including detailed combat records. Then Why haven’t the people from the Technical Security Department arrived yet? Go and hurry them up!”

"No need to rush, we are here." Three people wearing black suits and blue rubber gloves walked over from the cold storage door. The leader of them, a man with a mustache, said: "Cassandra, we have a relationship." Time has passed, but you are still as charming as ever.”

"Apollon, why are you leading the team? Just four months and seven days have passed, and as soon as I see you, I feel so bad!" Cassandra squeezed her fists and said, "Don't come close to me. Within an arm's length, I'm afraid I can't help but want to hit you, and my implant is too fast, and I won't be able to stop it in time."

"Thank you for the reminder." Apollon immediately stood still, glanced at the distance, and then took a half step back for peace of mind. "What happened again this time?"

"At least four people came in and stole the blue crystal from the cold storage. They had good fighting skills and dismantled a battle doll."

"Oh? Even if it's four against one, most people don't have that kind of ability." Apollon waved his hand and asked his two men to check the secret door behind the frozen fish rack. This was a standard procedure for the company's work.

"Check carefully to see if there are any signs of intrusion - if not, I can breathe a sigh of relief." Cassandra warned, and then continued to talk to Apollon: "From the preliminary battle report, it seems , Those four people didn’t have extraordinary fighting ability, but they won, it’s really strange.”

"Without extraordinary implants, a single encounter would have been killed by a battle doll. Hmm... I also have to check the operator to see if it deliberately released water." Apollon looked around and said, "Human How come I didn’t see it?”

"Burn it. I used a thermite grenade and burned it all." Cassandra took Apollon to the remains of the freezer, pointed at a pile of condensed alloy blocks with no prototype at all, and said, "Look, That’s all that’s left – what can you tell?”

"It's so thoroughly burned that it can't be restored, but what was used to burn it?"

"Thermite grenade! I just told you."

"Are you talking about the ones used by the PCPD to open iron room doors, the ones used by the army to burn through bunkers, or the ones used by the exploration team to destroy barriers?" Apollon touched his beard and said: "Looking at the degree of damage, I feel that at least It’s military-level stuff.”

"this means……"

"It means there is a clue." Apollon frowned and looked at the traces of the battle around him. He kept complaining that the people who came before were too unprofessional and the scene was too damaged. Even if there were clues, they could not be used now.

After a while, Cassandra's men came over with several reports and told her that they were the details of the battle that had just been faxed. Cassandra read one and handed it to Apollon, and the two of them analyzed the details exposed inside.

"They dodged the first pounce and were only slightly injured - this shows that they have a high level of combat literacy and their bodies have formed combat reflexes, but they definitely don't defend against neural implants all the time, so they are definitely not at an extraordinary level." Cassandra thought for a moment and said, "Professional boxers and specially trained fighters - they are probably at this level."

"I agree with you, they are not extraordinary." Apollon nodded and said, "The key to their victory was that they destroyed the receiving antenna of the combat doll, resulting in only 5% of the bandwidth on the remote control end. The operator did the right thing, just stop the operation and use all the remaining bandwidth to record the information."

Cassandra narrowed her eyes and said, "You don't think the operator Is there no problem?"

"He may have a big problem, or he may not have one. We need to investigate to find out." Seeing his men checking the secret door making a few gestures, Apollon said to Cassandra: "I have good news for you. There is no problem with the secret door and it has not been invaded."

"If it is just the loss of blue crystal products and a combat doll, then this matter will be easy to handle."

Apollon nodded and said: "I hope so too. After all, if something goes wrong with the things below, it will cause the wrath of the upper level, which is too troublesome. Cassandra, it is my duty, and I have to ask you to go down with me to check it out."

"Let's go!"

Ordinary employees were immediately cleared out, leaving only Cassandra, Apollon and his three men. They opened the secret door in the wall, revealing the silent elevator inside - the setting here is quite similar to that of Zhuang Xuteng's new home.

The elevator ran down for two minutes before it stopped steadily, and Cassandra took the lead and walked out. "This is the tunnel of the old subway. It collapsed during the last company war. In addition, a new route was to be built. The two ends were blocked, so the bottom was used as a storage room."

Apollon nodded, then looked at his subordinate. The man opened his nostrils and sniffed hard, then said: "The air cleanliness is normal, and there is no abnormality in the biological information."

"The thermal residual information is also fine. The only thing left is to check the monitoring log." The second blue glove walked to the control box next to the elevator, opened the box and his face, and inserted the information probe. "The preliminary analysis is normal, and in-depth analysis is in progress."

"Let them work for a while, I'll go in with you." Apollon said.

The two of them walked through the ten-meter-long corridor, and the iron door in front of them automatically moved away when they approached. After it was moved away, waves of painful groans came with the sound of bubbles stirring the liquid, as if many people who were about to drown were desperately struggling and calling for help. But the two listeners were completely unmoved, they just watched everything in front of them quietly.

In front of them were thirty-two fish tank-like devices, each filled with light green liquid, and locked up two to six people. Those people were in a half-dead state. Judging from their movements, they had no active consciousness, only reactions to pain and other stimuli and the original kinetic energy of survival.

The machine connected to the fish tank continuously transmitted waves of nerve stimulation to these half-dead people through green liquid, observed and recorded their reactions, and then repaired them. The company needs their bodies to be alive, and their brains must be able to accept stimulation and even respond emotionally, so that they can continue to absorb the side effects of Shadow Conviction and domesticate safer Shadow Conviction devices for the company.

"Although it's not the first time I've seen it, I'm still shocked every time I see it." Apollon said, "The late emperor said that only humans can tame the Shadow Followers, and that's absolutely true! More people, more Shadow Followers, more powerful forces, they all go out from here, and this is just one of several strongholds."

"Your intelligence level is higher than mine, and you know more." Cassandra pointed to the people in the fish tank and said, "I just want to know if I will end up in there too."

"No. Your body has been transformed, and you don't have the possibility of becoming a Shadow Follower Splitting Primitive or a Battle Doll Base. You are an important member of the company, and treatment is the top priority. If you don't meet the conditions for treatment, you will be immediately Euthanasia, Shadow will be removed from the implant, and then you will be cremated. "

Cassandra frowned and said, "My implant has been adjusted, can others still use it?"

"From the current technology, others can't use it, but the company still has a future, and maybe this technical difficulty can be solved in the future." Apollon shook his head and said, "Don't worry, judging from the current progress, the high-adjustment implant reuse technology is still a long way off, and the anti-aging regeneration technology is just around the corner. You and I will definitely be able to use it, and that represents at least fifteen times the upper limit of life. So, keep everything in the company, and we will have everything. "
