Chapter 834: Crossing the Storm (V)
The streets of Bruges were in chaos as they had not been since the introduction of the European barrier system.
The workers had nothing but their own legs and feet. Their loud accusations became a little ridiculous when they were chased. Even the workers who were watching and did not participate in the parade would laugh:
Behold, an illegal party.
Law is the strongest bottom line under the European barrier system. Morality, survival, justice, personal survival, etc., all vague, subjective and so-called humanistic things have given way to the only and final logic under this system. !
Not only for work, but also for exposing the truth and redressing the grievances of friends and relatives, you also need to go through the following procedures:
If there is no process, the police will raise their guns at you, the police cars will honk for you, and all the justice people pursue will be completely torn apart as this horrific curtain of violence falls, even if some people still believe that there may be something left. Should be above the law, but also silent as the restlessness subsides.
The fleeing workers felt suffocated: the city had once been so safe.
It is so safe that even if people are thrown out of the barrier every day because of losing their jobs, not paying back their debts, being unable to work, etc., there will still not be any unsolved cases of robbery, theft, or murder in this city, and there will still be no cases of things accidentally left on the streets. Even if I pick it up a day later, it will still be in the same place.
But now it's so dangerous.
The city seems to have come to life. The once friendly neighbors have turned to expressions of ridicule and contempt. The conscientious police officers will no longer tell them in a nice manner that they have called the police in advance.
They suddenly became criminals in the entire city, wanted criminals who everyone wanted to beat.
But
"ADL forces employees to work at high intensity, causing cyberpsychosis! They are the ones breaking the law!"
Didi——
Some workers let out desperate and angry roars, but they were quickly drowned out by the heavy sound of police sirens.
As for the people in the car, they looked serious, but they felt more like they were having fun.
"Didi——"
"Please do not panic. The Bruges Police Department is performing official duties. If you find a suspicious person, please immediately upload the suspect information through the public network."
"Criminals who harbor harbors will be pursued as co-offenders."
"Don't believe a word the criminal says."
Heavy sirens rang through the streets and police cars drove through the streets.
If it's Night City, there will often be panicked drivers kicking the accelerator and running rampant, and the chances of citizens running around are even greater:
Because once something like this happens, it may turn into a street fight in a few minutes, and bullets don't have long eyes.
But when police cars travel here, the cars on the street will only drive to both sides in an orderly manner to make way for passage. Everything is orderly. There are no panicked citizens, no panicked policemen, and no unscrupulous company soldiers.
Some are just police cars moving forward slowly but firmly, silently oppressing everyone's nerves.
Mainly the nerves of the person being hunted.
On one side of the road, a man among the crowd watching the excitement stared at the scene without saying a word, then turned and left silently, in sharp contrast to those who came to watch the excitement.
"Not long after I came back, I saw someone messing around on the street. I really hit the jackpot. I went to Night City and came back like a disaster."
As he muttered something, one of the man's prosthetic eyes flashed with dazzling light, and the world in front of him turned into a simplified version of cyberspace——
puff!
The lights across the street suddenly erupted into violent sparks!
All the bright lights were extinguished and replaced by scarlet malfunction lights. All public service HUDs in front of citizens were turned off, and the police car also lost its navigation direction!
The man turned off all the public facilities in this neighborhood!
In the Bruges Network Supervision Office, two network agents sitting in the office suddenly jumped up from their chairs!
The protection of European barriers is like a spider web connecting on-site equipment, affecting the whole body.
Only top hackers who are most familiar with this system are likely to launch attacks on the European Community's public systems——
But such hackers often receive the highest salary, enjoy the highest treatment in network surveillance, and are also equipped with various monitoring software!
Who is attacking EC equipment? !
The darkness caused by the power outage once made all civilians complain, including these fleeing workers——
But this time it was different. They only felt that the darkness was like a mother, holding them in her arms extremely safe:
The more confusing they are the harder they are to catch.
At least you won't get caught now!
The leading worker was running away with his brothers in the crowd. When he turned a corner on the street, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Run to the harbor! I'll show you the way! Watch the road!"
The workers looked up to the middle of the road and saw a large pickup truck, rare in Europe, running wildly on the road with lights on.
A woman in the car was shaking the light stick in her hand wildly. She seemed to be wearing some kind of recording device on her head, covering half of her face:
"This way!!!"
And behind her stood a steely man, carrying various media equipment in his hands.
"What are you doing!"
This round of attacks is still going on. As a block is paralyzed and the power supply is insufficient, the hacker hiding in the dark can directly plunge an area into darkness for a short time with just a few operations.
The regional manager of ADL watched the worker group that was about to be dispersed running wildly in the dark, even running further and further away, getting louder and louder as they ran, and yelled at the window:
"Damn the European Community, how much tax do you pay every year to support these losers?!"
[Communicator: Bruges Police Department]
[ADL Regional Manager: Why haven't we caught those people yet? ! ]
[Bruges Police Department: Someone attacked the public network, and the citizens blocked the road. We can't just run over them, can we? ]
[Bruges Police Department: Internet monitoring has been involved. Don't worry, this is a good thing! ]
[Bruges Police Department: These people are really desperate and dare to use hackers. When they are caught, they will be sentenced to a fifth-degree felony! ]
[ADL Regional Manager: Are you sure you can catch them? Don't forget us.]
[Bruges Police Department: Hey, be careful when you speak. What do you mean by us and you? I am an official and you are a businessman. ]
[Bruges Police Department: Nonsense, as long as they don't have a permit for assembly and parade, what else can they do except go to jail? ]
[Bruges Police Department: The advantage is mine! I won't let those criminals get away. ]
The ADL Regional Manager held the champagne and thought carefully that he was indeed anxious.
Yeah, anyway, that guy named Elliot and that idiot named Sevens can't get along.
Sometimes these rigid rules and regulations are quite interesting: it is clear that only network equipment is needed to transmit permits and decrees to another city, and it can also prove that it is legal and registered.
But the regulations stipulate that the person in charge must be present. Some people explain that this is the only way to take responsibility, otherwise it will be unclear if something goes wrong.
Yes, the rules and regulations are here.
Thinking of this, he looked at the port, looking at the turbulent port
When he saw this, his pupils shrank sharply!
Bang!
The huge black tail fin slapped on the sea, and some kind of black behemoth was rushing towards the port!
Boom!
The port was even crashed!
It's a humpback whale!
