48 Hours a Day

Chapter 427: Zero Appearance

the people on the SUV 01 are still in shock. Although snipers had been dispatched in the black nest at the ski resort the last time, the snipers were not them. The feeling was not so strong. This time the iron fist fell, the splattered plasma remained on Zhang Heng's shirt, but it was solid enough for them to realize what it was like to wipe shoulders with Death.

Everyone, including Rhea, bowed to their seats and feared that the bullet that came from nowhere would take their lives.

Until two minutes later Zhang Heng held the steering wheel, “Okay, you can look up, we're safe for now. ”

“Uh... are you sure?” Waldy, “I heard he was a long shot. How far was he shooting at the ski resort? ”

“We're in the city now, not the kind of empty ski resort.” Zhang Heng explained patiently, "I chose a route with street buildings as cover, snipers can't lock us. ”

“That's good.” Waldo finally relieved himself and returned to his seat.

Though out of danger, the ponytail man's face was not very good, and he said, "Those people are not coming for us, but for Edward, which means that the patience of the black nest has finally been exhausted and no longer intends to solve the matter by peaceful means. ”

“Edward is in danger, and we have to find him before the Black Nest.” Semi-prime numbers are also rare to say.

“But the only one who knows his whereabouts has just died before us. ”

Once the little boy said it, everyone fell back into silence. The ponytail boy was the oldest, but not even forty years old, and had not come in close contact with death, but they had witnessed two “deaths” since they had been involved in the struggle between the Black Nest and Edward.

Among them, the ponytail man dived from the bridge, not knowing how miraculously he survived, but this time the iron fist was indeed dead and could no longer die.

“Just along the way, I've been thinking about the question of how the black nest people actually got here.” Philip, who had not spoken before, said the same thing.

“Hmm?”

“No one knows more about Edward's abilities than we do, but the guy who died just a few minutes ago said that their place had been raided two weeks ago by the Black Nest, and after that he would surely be more careful with Edward's character, while trying to figure out why and do something defensive, and yet even then, just two weeks later, the Black Nest found him. ”

“Are you trying to say that someone betrayed Edward?” The little boy picked the eyebrows, "at a time like this, Edward didn't have many people to trust, and the guy named Iron Fist was definitely impossible, after all, he was, uh... that way, so only Mr. Gilm was left, but considering what had happened to his son's family before, he probably wasn't likely to be on the black nest side either. ”

“I'm not saying there's got to be an inside man, I'm saying there's got to be something for the Black Nest to find Edward.” Philip sighed, "but we didn't know what that thing was. ”

“It's CTOS.” Driving Zhang Heng suddenly plugged in.

“Hmm?”

“The Black Nest plugged CTOS into the city. ”

The people of 01 heard each other, “… this is impossible, isn't CTOS not done yet, and in general, such work needs to be approved by the House of Representatives first. ”

“CTOS does have quite a few features left unfinished and the algorithm is not optimally adapted, but the part of the system used to gather civic information was set up six months ago, and in theory the castration system is ready to go live… As for legality, the black nest does not have a mandate from the parliament, but they have a lot of power in Toulouse, and the city council is all their people, and they have a signed document from the mayor that allows them to carry out some preliminary experimental work in Toulouse. ”

“What is the pilot work ahead? ”

“That is the problem, and there is nothing defined in the document, so the black nest is free to play on this point. ”

“Including putting CTOS online without the public knowing it?” Rhea glared at me.

“I'm afraid that's the case for now. ”

One of the most important questions Zhang Heng wanted to clarify before leaving the parallel copy was what the zero in the main task was. He did not get an answer from 01. For the last time Edward was murdered, Reya and others did not gather much valuable information. Zhang Heng spent half a month visiting some of the then intellectuals and gained nothing. Until he took the great risk of sneaking into Blacknest headquarters on the last day and found a record of early research and development on CTOS, he knew that Blacknest had also secretly launched an unfinished version of the CTOS system to capture Edward.

The name of the system is Zero.

However, the launch time of the zero number recorded in the file was two weeks later, so there was still a lot of time left for Zhang Heng's activities, but he wondered if the launch time of the zero number had been advanced because of the player's behavior.

Two weeks ago, the Black Nest raided Edward's room, proving that Zero had started work at least a month earlier.

“Well, so we are now facing a city that has been monitored by the Black Nest.” Philip took a deep breath, "let me see what we can do at a time like this. ”

“Can you hack into ctos?” The ponytail asked Waldo.

“I don't know, Edward once talked to me about ctos, the intelligent security system he built with a couple of other amazing guys who could keep improving through learning, and he bragged that even he couldn't break it himself, but you know me, I don't think there's anywhere in the world I can't go, but it takes time, maybe weeks, maybe months, and they could still track me down, no, with ctos help, which is something that's bound to happen. ”

“I can hack into ctos.” Zhang Hengdao, "of course, it's just a broken version now. ”

A group of hackers in the late parallel replica, headed by 01, fought a long war with the Black Nest, during which hackers also had some gradual victories, yet each time they identified a loophole, they upgraded the Black Nest and ended up only making ctos more perfect, if not nearly perfect, which was where hackers felt desperate.

But now, not 12 years later, zero is just the original version of ctos, and it does have some loopholes.

In the previous two months in the town, Zhang Heng prepared far more than 01 people saw.
