Chapter 7: Backtracker (2)

"Big Brother" was originally very stubborn, but after the previous invasion, this stubbornness has further developed into neuroticism.After the unknown forces arrived, it was he who forcibly brought the mysterious killer into the closed world despite the opposition of the senior servants, and the method used was extremely rough, not much different from kidnapping in person.

At that time, all the branches of consciousness of the senior servants were on the scene.But Dorothy and her partners couldn't do anything. They could only watch the floor collapse and the situation fell irretrievably into the abyss.In the chaos, 28 maintenance machines were destroyed, and the armored shell of the space station was almost penetrated by an 800mm armor-piercing projectile.

Although the unknown forces took the initiative to cease fire soon, they did not intend to let it go.These days, they have not only tried to negotiate with the closed world, but also sent engineering units and information warfare units to jump to the side to try to crack the main control system of the closed world.Although their virus tools are very backward and far unable to compare with the previous intruder, they have both patience and time. If they keep trying like this, they will definitely make substantial progress.

Among the six high-ranking servants, four are continuously strengthening the firewall around the clock to resist attacks from the outside world; another is responsible for diplomacy, using vague words to prevaricate unknown forces in vain.The responsibility of monitoring the closed world fell on Dorothy. If the servant of the black plague, the invader last time, returned, she would not dare to calculate the damage caused.

Since the end of the cataclysm, this is the first time a closed world has encountered a crisis of this magnitude.And all of this originated from the body deep in the hibernation cabin.It stands to reason that the samples obtained with such a great effort must be used for good use. The high-ranking servants remember thousands of torture methods, and even the stone mouth can be opened.

But "Big Brother" did not intend to conduct an interrogation at all, and explicitly asked Dorothy and others to avoid the matter.He deliberately gave the killer high-level authority, saying that he wanted to take this opportunity to "observe the nature of humanity", but the other party unexpectedly broke through the restrictions ahead of time, and the incarnation of the BUG collection disappeared without a trace.

If the nature of human beings is a wild horse, then the experiment of "Big Brother" can be described as very successful.However, he originally planned to collect information related to the Servant of the Black Plague, but he didn't even get a single byte, and the trouble caused by this was piled higher than the mountain.

The fact is so clear, like 0 and 1 flowing in the optical fiber.However, the decision-makers of the kidnapping incident still have the same virtue for a long time and refuse to admit that they are at fault.After the mysterious killer escaped, "Big Brother" put all the responsibility on Dorothy, and ordered her to immediately bring all the tracers available, "Take all measures to make up for the mistakes, and let the beautiful closed world completely restore peace." But the problem is. , Is it possible to achieve this requirement?

[According to the scheduled plan, the system will start a comprehensive self-check soon, and the whole world will restart later.But the mystery killer's mischief has caused bad sectors on six groups of hard drives, one computing node has been completely burned, and all plans have to be reorganized.During this period, the language of the unknown forces in their negotiations became more and more severe, almost naked intimidation; the frequency of network attacks was also increasing day by day, the firewall was successfully breached at least twice, and almost was implanted with viruses.

If this trend continues, the unknown forces will be able to implant the code into the closed world kernel within a week.After the cataclysm, the last candlelight left by human civilization on the plane is likely to be completely extinguished here.But "Big Brother" neither admits this, nor refuses to clean up the mess he made. All the pressure has to be shared by servants at all levels.Dorothy disagrees with this, but what can she do?From the moment the retrospector was born, the mission was doomed:

Do your best to serve the employer and meet all the needs of the other party.You can make suggestions or point out the consequences of a wrong decision, but the final decision-making power is always in the hands of the "big brother".

[Even if the client has made obvious judgment errors.Even if the client was in the previous crisis and this crisis, all the orders issued have proved to be inefficient.Even if the client can never give priority to reason, his brain is always dominated by sensibility.This instruction engraved into the soul will not change in any way.

Dorothy finished the judgment calmly, and immediately began to speed up.She dropped the cavalry chariot of the security company, walked through the circular wall full of turrets, and walked straight towards the entrance of the clubhouse.Like all the murder scenes, there is a circle of black and yellow telescopic warning belts. Although this heavily guarded base, there will never be idlers rushing in.

A team of military contractors from the security company is patrolling on foot near the cordon.All of them have undergone large-scale reconstruction operations, and the captain even replaced the entire lower body and replaced it with a reflex joint walking chassis, equipped with a special operations force comparable to the T1 level.But their morale is very low, they can't walk in rows or columns, and every movement is sloppy; some people even put their fingers in the trigger guard, and they will go wrong at any time.

None of the federal agents around the entrance pointed out the mistakes of the military contractor.This is not difficult to understand. The Washington minions from the capital must be very arrogant and disdain to deal with private security.Of course, the federal agents are not monolithic. The FBI, NSA, and DHS are consciously divided into three piles, and they are quite distinct from each other. Each agent puts Velcro on the bulletproof vest, and the golden initials are extremely dazzling.

The FBI guys are typing on the laptop, sorting out the written materials that the ghost knows.The agents of the Department of Homeland Security gathered in a pile and talked about the holographic road map.The NSA people are the most leisurely. They used mugs to hold hot coffee and sipped them at the entrance of the clubhouse.Judging from the floating taste, it should be the expensive hand-milled Blue Mountain, with only one sugar cube added to each cup.

Dorothy didn't interrupt these people to have a tea party.She walked through the reserved opening of the cordon without anyone else, and went straight to the rescue channel cut by the security company.The six backtrackers lined up in two rows, faithfully following the leader.Their movements were not so elegant. They ran over all obstacles like tanks along the way, slamming telescopic belts, coffee pots, computers, and field agents who couldn't dodge them all aside.

All of a sudden, the main entrance of the club was filled with the sound of things falling to the ground, and the fragrant coffee poured around, making the computer vents hiss and smoke.The embarrassed Federal agents yelled at the retrospector one after another, but their heads immediately yelled, suppressing the scene instantly.
