Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 310: Chapter 83: Death Mission

In ancient times, once a virus program spread, it would cause thousands of computers to crash, massive data loss, and system breakdowns.

But in the Mechanical Era, a human brain virus was even more dangerous, as the vast cyber space enveloped the entire planet, and everyone was ’artificial data.’ Once it spread, the crashing target would be the human brain.

A human brain cannot reboot once it crashes.

In front of Ahong, countless phantoms of Aidolu appeared, rushing towards the holographic screen one after another.

As for Gao Gong, an illusory tentacle as thick as a water tank spewed out, splitting into two, then four, then eight, until it filled the entire holographic screen.

And their target of defense was birds made of white data, flying out of the holographic screen. A light peck with their crimson beaks would cause a tentacle or an Aidolu to collapse instantly, with their core data consumed.

And with each source code devoured, the ’Paradise Bird’ would grow larger, swelling to the size of a water tank in just a short moment.

Its target was the source code of the human brain!

Ahong’s expression changed as he quickly retracted Aidolu and turned to Gao Gong, shouting, ”Help me buy some time!”

Gao Gong nodded. The next moment, all the tentacles closed their eyes, transforming into thick fog, and the birds, as if lost, flew erratically in the fog, occasionally letting out sharp cries.

Neither Gao Gong nor Ahong spoke, the room was frighteningly silent.

The Paradise Bird continued to flap its wings, stirring the fog, and Gao Gong noticed that its wings gradually became tinged with white.

’Compound virus?’

The Paradise Bird’s beak could decompose source code, a type of ’destruction virus,’ and these wings were evidently another type of ’infection virus.’

In the fog, more and more bird calls sounded, as if countless wings were flapping and dispersing the fog, causing the fog to thin gradually.

”Yuanyuan, do you remember the move I taught you?”

”I remember!”

A slender hand emerged from the back of Gao Gong’s head, the fingers tapping lightly as if playing piano keys.

Amid the piano notes, the fog dispersed and stars rose. A silver waterfall gushed out, and one by one, stars illuminated the darkness, each star a point of starlight.

The vast and profound universe is composed of millions of stars.

The Paradise Bird was directly lost in the galaxy.

”Brother, your move is really impressive.”

No kidding, this was one of the foundational frameworks I created for Fantasy Land back in the day. Although the version I passed to you is the beggar version, capturing just a single virus is no problem.

After about three minutes, Ahong’s trump card, the Mirror Image Algorithm, activated, carrying out countless complex neural pulses.

The Mirror Image of Nightless City overlapped with real space.

Gao Gong and Ahong returned to the room once more, except this room was now a ’Mirror Space.’

”Paradise Bird, indeed the senior sister!”

On the holographic TV, the screen was already in chaos, with the heads of numerous audience members exploding, each explosion releasing a ’Peace Dove,’ as if human heads had turned into eggshells.

For a moment, the entire award venue was covered by the Paradise Bird.

Gao Gong’s gaze fell on Mr. Chuang.

Ordinary AI is about Level 10.

Intermediate AI is about Level 20.

Advanced AI is about Level 30.

And Super AI is at least Level 40, with at least one big data center. For someone as wealthy as Mr. Chuang, there is definitely more than one big data center!

This one’s electronic defense wall is packed by the sack.

Yet, it’s all useless.

Ordinary people can only become a ’bird egg,’ while this Mr. Chuang has become a super hatchery, with countless Paradise Birds flying out from all over his body, densely packed.

Just like the eye of a white storm.

In the VIP section, the former Governor’s daughter, Amira, was screaming as several Paradise Birds pecked at her, each peck causing a part of her face to vanish, simultaneously adding an unfamiliar part.

Vision blur modification, holographic P-mapping, facial bone auto-adjustment, self-fat smart adjustment, eyeball color change system...

Each peck caused a cosmetic system to collapse.

In the end, what appeared was not the noble and graceful, exquisitely beautiful Miss Amira Anna, but a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with an aged and distorted face.

In fact, it wasn’t just her; various ladies, madams, and bionic beauties in the VIP section also began to distort and transform.

In the Mechanical Era, techno-cosmetic surgery was as simple as washing your face or brushing your teeth, but once technology failed, the effect was equally terrifying.

The LSPs suddenly found themselves desiring nothing.

In the VIP section, the only one still able to resist was Mr. D. However, this chairman with a Pure White Shell was also beginning to struggle.

On the surface of a white shell phantom over a thousand meters tall, the Paradise Birds pecked, and each peck left a small dent on this ’Pure White Shell.’

A vast amount of corporate data was lost.

”Being a chairman is great, you can summon ’Corporate Will’ to possess you at any time; not even chief executives have this kind of privilege.”

Gao Gong knew about the ’Pure White Shell,’ as it’s one of the Big Six, known for producing bionic men of different styles, like the combat D-type, professional E-type, commercial F-type, service S-type, and pioneering G-type, all first created by this company.

As for Mr. D, he’s the first combat-type bionic man in history, around Level 50, and surely has a boss template, possibly more than one.

However, to a Cyber Hacker, whether you’re a boss or not, if you can’t counterattack on a virtual level, taking you down is just a matter of time.

The only thing Mr. D can do now is hold out until the security forces of the program come to his rescue; that’s his only hope of survival.

If this were another bionic giant, like the chairman of ’Electronic Grid,’ the hacking by Paradise Bird would certainly not have been so easy.

Different specializations.

On a small scale, this is professional restraint, on a large scale, it’s systematic restraint: carbon-based restrains mechanics, mechanics restrain energy, energy restrains information, information restrains carbon-based.

Who let you be a bionic man? You might be better off if you weren’t trying to be human.

”I finally understand why she had to stir things up in this show!”

The world’s hottest show, watched by millions, tens of millions simultaneously hacked by a virus. Such a massive amount of virus can only be described as terrifying!

Especially before the virus is cracked.

During this time, a Cyber Hacker can even possess the hacker authority of a ’Big Data Monster’.

”The Cyber Assassins are mobilizing.”

Gao Gong had a ’Drama Enjoyer’ expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Ahong’s face fell as he considered whether to issue a statement declaring that he severed ties with ’Paradise Bird’.

The extent and range of such trouble-making are definitely going to land him on the Mother City Wanted List!!

Sure enough, at the grand venue, with every data distortion, a man in sunglasses would step out, black suit, red suit, silver suit, representing Black Wing Killer, Red Wing Killer, and Silver Winged Killer respectively.

And when the last sunglasses-clad woman in a pure white suit stepped out from the data stream, even Aidolu knew something serious was happening.

The top-level Cyber Assassin, the Cloud Wing Assassin has been dispatched!

The woman in the white suit glanced at the holographic screen, and the next moment, all live broadcasts, rebroadcasts, and satellite broadcasts turned into snowy static.

”Tsk, tsk, that was quite the show!”

With the ’blockbuster’ over, Gao Gong strolled to the little home bar he had set up for himself, ready to mix another drink.

As for Ahong, he stood up agitatedly, pacing back and forth, muttering curses to himself.

Aidolu watched him worriedly.

After walking for a full five minutes and turning hundreds of circles, Ahong suddenly stopped, then gritted his teeth and said, ”I want to save people!”

”Ahong, you—” Aidolu stood up in astonishment.

”Go for it, I’m rooting for you.”

Gao Gong remained calm, raising his glass toward the other person.

”Help me!!”

Ahong slammed his hands on the table, his eyes red.

”No way.”

With a flat-out refusal, Gao Gong didn’t even bother to make a demand.

”I’ll give you the source code for the Mirror Image Algorithm!”

”No way.”

Gao Gong poured the other person a drink.

”As a hacker, you should know that each Cloud Wing Assassin is a sub-database of the Mother City Deep Net. Once a Cloud Wing Assassin is dispatched, it means the Deep Net already knows about this. You wouldn’t want me to be barred from the net in the future.”

The Cyber Hacker crowd is known for being lawless, unbound at Cybertron, unhindered at the Fortress.

But when it comes to one of the three Mother Cities, the Deep Net, even rebellious Cyber Hackers show respect.

Firstly, compared to the other two Mother Cities, the Deep Net is more accommodating to the hacker profession. In the Deep Net, Cyber Hackers are considered legitimate professionals, free to operate and trade within the Mother City.

Secondly, the Deep Net has a major move, which is cutting off the network directly, globally unplugging the internet, sealing IPs. No matter how you change disguises, you won’t be able to log into Cyber Space again.

For a hacker, being unable to log into Cyber Space is like losing more than half their life.

”What would it take for you to help me!”

Gao Gong rubbed his chin, just about to threaten the other with the chrysanthemum when the system panel suddenly let out a ’ding’ sound.

Normally, the task icon flashes yellow, but this time, the task icon was red.

A Hell-level Task!?

Simple, ordinary, difficult, nightmare, hell

In personal tasks, the highest level is the hell-level task.

Hell tasks are also known as death missions.

What is hell-level? It’s a task that, theoretically, cannot be completed.

A Level 1 Civilization’s hell task, with Level 1 Civilization’s technological level, is impossible to complete.

A Level 2 Civilization’s hell task, characters below level 60 absolutely cannot complete it.

Clicking the task icon, the blood-red taskbar unique to hell-level tasks popped up.

Gao Gong’s gaze was fixed on the last extra reward.
