Chapter 384 Alien Battlefield (13) Dead Realm Biota
"Being...harassed... by... Zizi Zizi..."
Just as this group of people were communicating tensely with each other, the contractor's equipment on Han Zu suddenly seemed to be attacked, and suddenly there was an extremely strong interference situation, which made Han Zu, who maintained the soul-grabbing miasma form, immediately tense up and be ready to take action at any time.
But after locking his eyes on all the people in front of him, Han Zu discovered that no one seemed to have noticed the abnormality in the room. They were still busy investigating the intrusion into the sewer system.
"They didn't do it? Then what's going on?"
"Disconnected from the control network."
"?"
However, this interference situation disappeared quickly, but the second prompt made Han Zu very confused.
The so-called control network is the huge interconnected network used by contractors. Each contractor is a node in this network. Through this network, as long as the contractor's equipment is not damaged, they can obtain various information known by other contractors through the network anywhere. They can also pass what they know to other nodes in the network with almost no delay.
After obtaining the contractor's equipment, Han Zu secretly used the network to investigate how to disconnect from the network node before leaving the building to prevent being tricked by the contractor in the future. However, the information he found made Han Zu very dissatisfied.
Although the control network used by the contractors is very powerful, the people who built this network are not the contractors, so although they can modify the network, no contractor has enough low-level authority to be able to leave the network. This should be one of the reasons why they don't use lies at all, because it is useless. When any node searches for information that is considered extremely important by the network itself, the contractor as a node will automatically upload this information to the control network without control.
But Han Zu was different. Although he and the contractors used the same equipment, the way they used it was very different. According to the information Han Zu had searched, these contractors and the equipment were completely integrated. They were more skilled in using the equipment than he was. At the same time, unless they were physically wiped out once and for all, the equipment on them could not be destroyed or invaded. And because the equipment was equivalent to a part of their body, they could directly use a large number of incredible high-tech gadgets, and even through some modifications, they could build some energy-saving equipment directly into their bodies.
For example, the kind that Han Zu coveted very much, the ability to transmit energy with no detectable reaction at all.
At the same time, their information processing speed is indescribably fast and accurate. As mentioned before, every contractor, or contractor equipment, is a node in the control network. Every node has all other permissions except the basic permissions, including Han Zu and Gloria. The amount of information that these nodes can read and upload is astronomical, and these contractors can read and upload this huge amount of information at the same time while carrying out normal activities without any errors.
Han Zu and Gloria can't do that. Their strong physical fitness and special body structure allow them to not be shocked to the point of mental arrest or brain death after suddenly reading astronomical amounts of information. However, in order to process this information, they need to stop any other movements. Even if they move one centimeter, it will greatly increase their physical discomfort. Even so, the time they spend processing this information will be more than ten times slower than that of normal contractors, and the accuracy is completely unequal. Moreover, since the two of them are using equipment and do not have the same mechanical body as contractors to enhance the effect of the equipment, the information they can upload is much less than that of contractors, and much slower.
But this does not mean that they are completely inferior to ordinary contractors. Compared with contractors, Han Zu also has his own advantages.
First of all, unlike the contractors, the equipment was always considered as a powerful auxiliary for Han Zu. However, apart from investigating clues and exploring terrain, Han Zu hardly paid much attention to the contractors' equipment. Occasionally, he would use it to find the enemy's weaknesses, but that was very rare. So even if the equipment was interfered with or completely damaged, it actually did not weaken Han Zu at all. After all, he was alive and well before the contractors' equipment.
Another point is that because of the special nature of him and Gloria, their equipment is somewhat different from that of normal contractors. It may be that in order to avoid being accidentally killed by excessive information, contractors need to manually operate their equipment to retrieve and upload information. In other words, Han Zu and Gloria are the only two special nodes in the entire Tongyu network that can conceal information. Of course, only part of it is concealed.
Of course, the most important point is that Han Zu has a way to use special methods to directly destroy the contractor's equipment in his body, so as to completely disconnect from the contractor and the control network.
An extreme self-destruction full of visual experience.
Although the contractor's equipment can almost completely adapt to the impact of all the energy that Han Zu can use, it is ultimately a large number of micro-mechanical equipment. As long as the energy is large enough, Han Zu can directly clean up these micro-mechanical equipment scattered all over his body at once. However, the cost is not small. Han Zu has estimated that if there is no biomass or energy supplement, it will take at least several months to fully recover after this degree of self-explosion. Moreover, because the scale of the explosion is too large, it is very likely that he will completely lose his ability to move and his memory during this period before recovering to a certain extent. Therefore, Han Zu will not give priority to this method unless it is absolutely necessary.
Moreover, Han Zu intentionally kept the contractors' equipment. After all, the information stored in the Tongyu network was a huge treasure. If he needed to make any big moves against the Unlimited Company and the Feidenan family in the future, this might be a powerful help. Of course, the most important thing was that he could learn about the contractors' movements from different nodes. If the two sides really turned against each other in the future, he would not be dragged into the battle passively without knowing it.
But now, it seems that Han Zu's device suddenly disconnected from the control network on its own. However, this disconnection is not like a networked node becoming offline, but this node suddenly disconnected from the control of the entire control network and became a digital ghost. While other nodes cannot connect to it, it can still exist in the control network. However, the actions of reading and uploading information to the control network are subject to certain restrictions. The contractors cannot do this because the emergence or creation of such a special ghost node requires the most basic underlying permissions of the control network.
"Han Zu! Are you okay? Something happened here. My contractor's equipment suddenly appeared..."
"A hint to leave the ruling network?"
"How do you know...is it the same situation over there?"
"Remain silent, leave your mark the old fashioned way, and do not use contractor equipment for now."
"it is good!"
The brief communication from Gloria made Han Zu vaguely feel that things seemed to be moving towards an uncontrollable situation. So whether or not to continue observing the people in front of him became a choice that Han Zu needed to decide.
"Xin, take your team and leave the outpost immediately! Our spacecraft has detected..."
"Zizi...birth...zizi...group! Immediately...zizi...zizi..."
"What? What happened! Xu, Xu?! Damn it!"
At this time, Han Zu heard that the person who seemed to be the leader of the group in front of him suddenly received a communication. The tone of the person on the other side was very urgent. From what she said, she wanted the group of people in front of him to leave the room immediately, but the specific reason was unclear, because the equipment on the other side seemed to have received strong interference. And this interference did not seem to affect only the spacecraft, but also the communication equipment of the people in front of him was greatly interfered.
"We have to go! Xu asked us to leave the outpost immediately. If the spacecraft detected something and we need to evacuate, then those things must have found this planet!"
"Then we really need to hurry up. What should we do with the things here?"
"Element 12 is gone. Nothing else in this outpost is important. We won't take anything with us. Wu, locate the ship's transmission node immediately. We'll leave immediately. I'll contact headquarters to get permission and activate the planetary erasure system on the satellite! Everyone else, be alert! Quick, quick, quick!"
These people immediately got busy, but Han Zu would never let them leave like this. Especially when they were going to activate the Star Destroyer to wipe out the planet. Fortunately, Han Zu had been careful before. When they used the "insect swarm" to search the sewer system, Han Zu had quietly used the contractor's equipment to hack into the transmission platform. He modified the protocol of the transmission platform. Without his permission, this thing is now just a decoration.
"Shit! Someone hacked into the teleportation platform while we weren't paying attention, and this thing is now locked!"
"What?! Damn it!"
"I know the locations of other outposts. Last time I was there, another one is in the center of the city, but if we want to get there before we get taken out, we'll have to start destroying the walls."
"Om~~"
“Bang~~!!”
"Open! Everyone, move immediately! Do not stop or engage in combat unless absolutely necessary!"
Before the man who said he knew the location of the other outposts could finish his words, the team leader and two others had already opened fire at the wall, and immediately opened a hole in it that was big enough for their armor to pass through. Everyone immediately jumped down through the hole, gathered in the waterway below, and immediately began to run wildly along the waterway.
“Tsk~~~”
Han Zu returned to his normal form and jumped down from the hole. He used his perception to keep track of the distance between him and the team ahead, followed them closely, and used the device that had been disconnected from the control network to contact Gloria. But it took a full minute for Gloria to respond to his communication.
"what's the situation?"
"I was looking for a place to hide just now, and I saw a scene that I couldn't believe. Just after we ended the communication, several abnormal energy reactions suddenly appeared in the sky above the empty city. Something that looked like a crack in the original energy suddenly appeared, and then a large number of things flew out from it... I don't know what it is either. These things are completely beyond my comprehension."
"I'm here..."
Han Zu told Gloria the content of the communication that the team had just received.
"These are probably what the people on the spaceship told them to hide from. These creatures can basically fly, and they are not small in size. Now they almost completely cover the dome of the empty city, and some of them have opened a lot of large holes in several places on the dome. I can see the sky outside. It is cloudy outside, and it seems to be raining, but from other angles, it should be sunny outside. I suspect this weather condition may be related to these creatures."
"Try not to expose your position. Judging from the clips you sent, these guys are not easy to mess with."
"They seem to be looking for something. I saw some of them directly destroy the ground and enter the sewer system, but they are not very interested in the buildings in the city."
At this moment, Han Zu suddenly remembered some of the things that the team he was following had said before. He had a guess about what these creatures were looking for.
"They might be looking for element 12."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say before that you found several boxes of element 12? Aren't they targeting you now?!"
"It's possible, but I haven't found those creatures near me yet. Gloria, find a way to get to the center of the city. There should be an outpost there. If you can find the outpost before them, we should be able to use the teleportation equipment to get out of here in advance. I will continue to monitor the team's communications and provide you with accurate location information."
"Okay, I'll be on my way right away! Stay safe, big guy."
"You too."
“Squeak~~!!!!”
The moment the communication ended, Han Zu heard a creepy and piercing sound suddenly coming from near the location of the team ahead. This sound was constantly reflected by the walls of the sewer system, and the entire waterway should be able to hear this sound.
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
“Zi~~!! Buzz~~!!!”
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of intensive gunfire and noisy shouts. The team in front seemed to have collided with the creatures that entered the waterway under the city, and an inevitable battle broke out.
"Damn it! Things always get complicated, and I'm almost out of cigarettes!"
Han Zu took out the cigarette box with a few cigarettes left, restrained his impulse, put the cigarette box back, cursed inwardly, and accelerated to chase in the direction of the intensive gunfire.
