"Miss Hacker has already hacked into the network of this base. However, those important files are encrypted. Once touched, they will be discovered. It is impossible to steal the files without being discovered."
Looking at Lupin who was fiddling with the computer, Fujiko shook her head and said.
"Well, that's to be expected."
Lupin listened and nodded without any surprise.
After all, it is a huge force. Even if the people responsible for network security are not very good, their technology is definitely on the same level.
Although Miss Hacker is a rare genius in the computer field, she is already at her limit to be able to achieve this step without leaving any trace when she is at a complete disadvantage in terms of hardware.
"The signal won't be discovered, right?"
Lupin asked casually after glancing at the flashing USB flash drive plugged into the computer.
Perhaps it was a lesson learned from the previous Jintek Group, the network used inside this base is not connected to the external network.
The hacker lady was able to invade here only by relying on this special USB flash drive that can send signals.
However, because of this, it is also easy for people to notice this extra signal.
"After invading, the first thing they choose to invade is the signal base station in the base. Unless they send people to actively check this aspect, they will not be discovered."
Fujiko said, then paused and asked, "What should we do next, Lupin?"
In order to obtain evidence that Blackwatch and the Kintek Group are one and the same, it is necessary to steal all the heavily encrypted experimental records related to the Blacklight virus and Raymond McMullen's experimental videos from the server in this base.
However, similar experimental records are the most confidential in the entire base. If Sky wants to get them, even if he is extremely talented in computer hacking, it will take at least ten days or half a month to have any chance of doing it.
Now, they don't have the time to wait.
"Just steal the server!"
Hearing Fujiko's question, Lupin answered without even thinking.
He had thought about this possibility before invading the base, so he had already prepared in his mind what to do when the time comes.
No matter how tight the cyber defense is, it must ultimately be implemented.
He couldn't directly steal the virtual data stored on the Internet, but stealing the server where the data was stored was not a problem.
"Just move the server away? That's one way, but then we'll be hunted by everyone in the base, and it won't be easy to escape with the spoils!"
Ciyuan pondered and said that the existence of the military force in this base itself was not a big deal. They were already accustomed to how to escape from the scene while being chased by countless people.
But once they really touch the server, those super soldiers will definitely come to them.
He felt a headache just thinking about how to deal with those perverts who could play with stone pillars weighing several tons.
"Well! It's naturally difficult for us to do it alone." Lupin scratched his head, took out his cell phone and showed it to the others, saying: "But it will be different if there are people outside to support us."
"Have you contacted Alex?" Looking at the text message on the phone, Ciyuan suddenly realized.
If he was outside to attract fire, this operation wouldn't be that dangerous.
Lupin took back his phone, sat on the chair and said, "Although I have contacted him, he has not replied to me. He is probably still dealing with Elizabeth, so we have to wait here."
Didi…
As he was speaking, two prompt sounds suddenly came from the computer with the USB flash drive plugged in.
As I looked over there, I saw a message from Miss Hacker.
Lupin looked at the text and read: "The general of Blackwatch is in telephone contact with Raymond McMullen. I have cracked the call signal through the signal base station and am recording it..."
As he spoke, Lupin raised his eyebrows and said with a slight curl of his lips: "Evidence delivered to my door."
I clicked the audio message sent by Miss Hacker with my mouse, and immediately, clear audio of the conversation came from the speaker.
…
On an empty road on Manhattan Island, a military vehicle was driving towards the Black Watch station.
Peter Randall sat in the back seat, talking to Raymond on his cell phone.
After leaving the front-line command center, he had been thinking about Alex going to find Elizabeth.
The situation has now developed beyond their control, although they have made plans and are ready to annihilate these ghosts and monsters in one final move.
But whether the thing itself can be accomplished is still a matter of debate. If either Elizabeth or Alex succeeds in helping the other, it will be a huge variable for their future plans.
Moreover, although both sides are powerful now, there are still ways to deal with them. Once one side evolves successfully, it is still unclear whether it can be controlled.
With so many reasons, he had to stop it, both for the overall situation and for himself.
On the other side of the phone, after listening to what General Peter said, Raymond paused for a moment and said, "I understand what the general said, but the situation should not be as serious as the general is worried about."
"What do you mean?" General Peter was immediately cheered up when he heard it.
"It's true that the Blacklight Virus can devour each other and evolve, but it's definitely not that easy to completely devour one party. Alex took the initiative to come to the door, but based on the level of evolution he showed before, he couldn't devour Elizabeth. Of course, it's also difficult for Elizabeth to devour Alex."
"Besides, neither Elizabeth nor Alex are virus evolvers in the general sense. In my opinion, this action may have other purposes..."
Raymond paused, then changed the subject: "But we really can't just keep watching like this. Just in case, we should make some preparations in advance..."
"What support does the general plan to use?" Raymond asked.
General Peter replied: "Except for the super soldier who can't show up now, everything else is fine!"
"I see." Raymond thought for a moment and said, "I will send someone to the front line with the newly developed poison gas for the Black Light Virus. Although it cannot cause real harm to a virus evolver of Elizabeth's level, it can temporarily suppress the activity of the virus for a period of time. Before new antibodies are evolved, even if the two sides devour each other, the benefits they gain will be less than half of what they would get if they were intact. What do you think, General?"
"It's up to you. Raymond, you are an expert in this area!" General Peter said directly after listening to Raymond's question.
He doesn't understand things like viruses, but it doesn't matter. As long as his subordinates know about them, he only cares about the results.
Although Raymond had disappointed him somewhat in terms of management, he had never disappointed him in terms of research.
The car drove into the garrison. Peter Randall got out of the car and walked towards the office. Suddenly he thought of something and reminded him, "Some time ago we found traces of intrusion in the garrison. There are only a few people in this city who can do this without being discovered by us. I suspect they are here to find you. Please pay more attention to your side and report to me in time if you find anything unusual."
"General..."
A shout came from the front. Peter Randall had already arrived at the door of the office. Lieutenant Robert Hoss, who was waiting there for something, stepped forward.
Looking at his confidants waiting here, General Peter pushed open the door of the office, gave a final instruction on the phone, hung up the phone and looked at Robert.
"Tell me, Lieutenant, what do you want from me?"
…
In the archive room of the Blackwatch hidden base.
As the recording finished playing, the people in the room no longer remained silent.
"We're pretty lucky this time," Ciyuan said, glancing at the computer.
Although the recording cannot be considered as conclusive evidence and there is a possibility of forgery, it does not mean that it is useless. It can still be used as supporting evidence.
What's more, this recording was obtained for free, so there's no need to take any risk.
"We still have to rely on those experimental records. The wizard won't let us pass so easily." Lupin shook his head.
He could roughly guess some of Colin's subsequent thoughts, but he couldn't get away with it just by relying on this recording.
"It's a gain after all, and I got some useful information." Fujiko walked to Lupin and asked with her head tilted, "When do we start?"
"That'll have to wait..."
Ding, the phone made a sound. Lupin looked down at the message and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "Now!"
"Sister Lily, the sergeant asked me to come and get... Who are you?"
The door of the archive room was suddenly opened, and a lady in military uniform looked at the four unfamiliar people in the room and asked subconsciously.
But when she saw the person lying on the ground at Goemon's feet, she opened her mouth and was about to scream.
Peng!
With a dull thud, the lady who was about to scream fell to the ground.
Ciyuan retracted his knife and breathed a sigh of relief.
If she really shouted this out, they would have no chance of stealing the server and they would just run away.
"Well done! Jigen!"
Lupin also breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up.
He was startled just now, but fortunately Ciyuan solved the problem first.
But now that people have arrived, there is not much time left for them.
"Sorry, my mistake." A girl's voice, which had been changed by a machine, came from the headphones of the four people.
She was arranging some other things just now and had no time to check the surveillance footage, which led to this oversight.
"Miss Hacker, you have helped us a lot by being able to accomplish all this in such a short time. Don't worry about this little thing." Lupin consoled her.
From the details of previous conversations, he had already deduced that the hacker lady was a single person.
For a person who can achieve this level, some omissions are inevitable and cannot be blamed.
Skye bit her lower lip as she listened. Although Lupin said so, she was still a little concerned about this mistake that should not have been made.
But now is not the time to dwell on this. After tapping on the keyboard for a while, he said with a little excitement:
"The surveillance footage has been processed. From now until one hour later, the surveillance footage the other party can see will no longer be real footage."
"I heard you guys were planning to steal the server. Do you want me to provide you with the safest route to the server room?"
Skye asked with her eyes wide open. Even though she was not present at the scene, being able to use her skills to participate in such a big event still made her feel thrillingly excited from the bottom of her heart.
"Then please, Miss Hacker!"
Listening to the voice coming from the headphones, Lupin did not refuse.
It would be best to have support, and although he had not expected this before, the hacker lady gave him a surprise.
Pushing open the door, a group of four people swaggered towards the computer room where the servers were installed.
Because there was no prior knowledge of the intruder, although there were inspections inside the base, the defense was not particularly strict.
With Skye's reminders along the way and the help of the props given by Colin, they arrived near the computer room without being discovered.
However, after arriving here, it became impossible to walk in as easily as I imagined before.
At the corner of a corridor near the computer room, Lupin took out a mirror and looked at the guard of the computer room through the image reflected in the mirror.
There are two people on duty in each of the left and right passages, and two more people standing at the door of the computer room.
It can be said that as long as someone appears on this aisle, they will be discovered at the first moment.
Judging from the telephone set up at the guard post, if you want to enter the computer room, you must confirm by phone, and you can no longer fool around with words like before.
However, this did not pose any difficulty for him. As the operation had progressed to this point, it was already time for a full-scale attack.
A message was sent, and not long after, alarms sounded in the base.
At this moment, Lupin and his group came out from the corner and rushed forward while the guards were still a little at a loss.
Outside the base, on the roof of a tall building.
Alex stood at the edge of the building and looked down.
Jingle Bell…
The phone came with a boosted sound.
He took out his cell phone, looked at the message, took a step forward, and jumped down.
boom!
The body fell rapidly from a height of several dozen meters with a loud bang, and the oil-spattered road formed spider-web-like cracks that spread in all directions.
The soldiers on guard outside the base looked in the direction of the sound. When the smoke and dust cleared, Alex's figure emerged from the pit and walked toward the base. The soldier on duty sounded the alarm in fear.
"let's start!"
With a low murmur, he suddenly leaped up, clasped his hands together, and turned them into a heavy hammer. He descended at a high speed and smashed into the several-meter-high gate of the base.
Fragments of the gate scattered in all directions, and hidden machine guns rose up from everywhere, firing a dense torrent of bullets at him.
Alex took a quick look around, jumped up, grabbed a soldier who was shooting, and swallowed him into his body.
The previous battle consumed a lot of his energy. Now facing these Blackwatch soldiers who developed the Blacklight virus and also created him, he didn't mind replenishing them.
