Chapter 102 NO.0065: Gatekeeper

Coincidentally, in the team on the other side, Aconitum-23 also chose Theseus Warehouse as the location where they placed the induction beacon.

"After all, you are most familiar with the terrain there, aren't you?"

Aconite-23, who was at the front of the queue, said this.

Hearing him say this in a joking tone, the expressions of 136 and others suddenly darkened.

At the beginning, they were besieged at Theseus' warehouse. It was also there that they saw with their own eyes the comrades they had been with day and night, falling beside them one after another. And in the end, he was captured there in humiliation and taken to

The company is used as consumables to salvage darknet technology, and it is living on.

There are so many places suitable for setting up decoy beacons, and Wutou-23's choice is obviously a deliberate insult to them.

Faced with such an insult, Jiang Zhou noticed that the ceramic claw blades buried in 136's forearm popped out.

Seeing this, Qianxia Ying at the side quickly stepped forward and held down his shoulders.

"Calm down, B6..."

She said softly.

"It doesn't matter, you can do what you want."

Wutou-23 said sarcastically.

"To be honest, I quite hope you will try this, just to add some fun to my outing... You know, although the order I received is to take you back safely, but if you do it yourself

If you die, that's a different matter."

When he said this, he didn't even look back.

The breathing sound of Black Falcon-136 became obviously heavier.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou stepped forward and held down 136's arm, shaking his head at him.

If it were a head-to-head confrontation, facing a depth 4 adjuster, even if they went together, they wouldn't even be able to get a 1% winning rate. There was no need to lose their lives just for the sake of this moment's enthusiasm.

"I see……"

After waiting for a long time, 136 slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"Useless sacrifices are meaningless."

Then, he turned to look at the two people beside him:

"Don't worry, I won't mess around."

Seeing this, both of them put down their hands.

Jiang Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, he often feels very tired when teaming up with such a person whose behavior is too idealistic.

Although this kind of person will be very cohesive in the team and will make other people gather together unconsciously. But it is often this kind of person who will sing all the way and lead the entire team into an irreversible abyss.

Personally, Jiang Zhou admires their ideals and mobility. But if they were to really work together, he would still prefer to work with someone like Booker who has a flexible approach.

After all, he never felt that he was an idealist - even if others would sometimes evaluate him in this way. But only he himself knew that it was his most rational choice.

It's just that the most rational choice often seems the craziest.

Probably because it did not have the insulting effect as expected, Wutou-23 said with a "tsk":

"I thought you guerrillas would be more bloody. I remember when we were in the Luxor resettlement area..."

He probably wanted to talk about his "glorious history" of suppressing other resistance organizations in the past - after all, this is what Cerberus was born to do - but he had just started to speak, and he suddenly stopped.

It was like a hunter hearing something in the forest.

After about a few seconds, he said softly:

"It looks like our first guest is coming."

As he spoke, dark red lines suddenly appeared on his armor.

"A gentle reminder, if you don't want to die, you should all stay away...and then, let's have a good look at Cerberus's fighting style."

The three-meter-tall metal giant said excitedly.

But Jiang Zhou, who had been following him, his eyes jumped.

He checked the activity map and did see a high-threat target marked in red, approaching them.

But according to the markings on the map, that thing was at least several kilometers away from them.

In other words, the sensing range of Wutou-23 for high-energy targets can reach several kilometers.

Jiang Zhou silently recorded this in his mind - at this moment, he must collect all combat intelligence that may be used later.

On the other side, as the dark red lines on Wu Tou-23's body lit up, his whole body floated in defiance of gravity.

Immediately, the armor behind him quickly deformed, and several vector injectors hidden under it lit up one by one.

The flame tail gradually changes from red to yellow, and finally to blue.

then……

"Whoosh!"

Along with the sound of breaking through the sky, Wutou-23, which was previously floating in mid-air, disappeared in an instant, leaving only a few straight tracks.

The speed was so fast that Jiang Zhou could not catch it with his naked eyes.

"So, are you still planning to kill him now?"

Looking up at the disappearing tracks, Qianxia Sakura suddenly turned to look at 136 and asked.

The expression on the latter's face was still gloomy - his expression had not changed since his second dive.

After hesitating for a long time, Black Falcon-136 shook his head and said:

"It's not time yet, let's keep observing..."

Facing an adjuster who can fly and fly at a speed that breaks the sound barrier, it's useless to observe with a microscope...

Jiang Zhou couldn't help but complain in his heart.

To be honest, even if he teamed up with Booker Liaoqi to engage in a just three-on-one fight, he would not be confident in defeating the opponent.

With this in mind, Jiang Zhou once again focused his attention on the activity map of the eye movement interface.

At this moment, the mark symbolizing Aconitum-23 is almost in contact with the high-threat unit.

The location where they came into contact happened to be not far from the main entrance of Theseus' warehouse.

…………

A structure composed of five blue concentric crystal rings, like a celestial sphere, is floating slowly but firmly.

And this strange guy was the target of Wutou-23's trip - his high-energy induction radar detected the radiation reaction of this malicious program from a distance of five kilometers.

[Threat assessment: Mild]

The moment he saw the malicious program, the Delphi Oracle system installed in Aconite-23's brain judged the threat level of the opponent.

It's actually a slight degree?

This made Wutou-23 feel a little surprised.

Theoretically speaking, given his strength, at depth 2, as long as he is not surrounded by an overwhelming number of malicious programs; or he is not unlucky enough to encounter a malicious program that has risen to this depth, it is basically impossible to encounter danger.

.

Even if it is a slight degree, it should not be...

After all, compared to depth 2, depth 4 is simply a dimensionality reduction blow in terms of performance.

As for why the deep-diving salvage industry does not send high-depth adjusters to harvest the low-depth abyss dark web?

That’s because the existence of high-depth adjusters itself will put a huge burden on the foundation construction process carried out in low-depth deep submersible chambers.

From a theoretical point of view, it is not impossible to let highly modified adjusters harvest and print permissions at shallow levels. However, if calculated from the perspective of actual income, this will greatly increase the cost of salvage.

Anyway, there are so many low-level adjusters, and they themselves are destabilizing factors in society, so it would be better to give them a good place to dive and salvage. This will not only consume their energy, but also steadily eliminate some unlucky ones.

Maintain a relatively stable number of private adjusters.

In addition, the publicity machine is launched to elevate those who have become legends through abyss wandering to the altar. In this way, the folk abyss wanderers who dream of being like those mercenary kings can surpass the limits of human intelligence and become a "city of one person"

, it will be like leeks, growing one after another and never being able to cut them all.

Therefore, the current model not only maintains the high mortality rate of the abyss wanderer profession, but also greatly reduces the cost of the deep diving salvage industry - anyway, those private abyss wanderers are voluntary, with high risk and high reward.

, the company does not even need to pay pensions after death.

Because of this, there are not many cases like Aconitum-23 that can dive to depth 2 at depth 4 to abuse vegetables.

There is nothing wrong with saying that this is a case of abuse of public funds.

The speed brakes on its body deployed instantly, the front vector injector also flashed, and Wutou-23 stopped suddenly not far from the malicious program.
