187 Power outage

While Paradise of War is still in beta, seasoned players know that even buying a safe house isn't a peace of mind in this treacherous game:

The safe house purchased by the player does have the ability of "absolute defense", even if it is directly hit by a nuclear bomb on the roof, it will still stand strong and stand under the protection of the rules of the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition, if there is a power or water outage nearby, it will not affect the player's safe house.

It sounds like a safe house is a secluded hideaway. However, once the location of the safe house is discovered by other players, the owner of the house will still be in trouble.

In order to prevent players who have purchased a safe house from obtaining a terrifying "Invincible Fortress", the isolation of the safe house is applied to both parties at the same time.

Hostile players cannot attack the inside of the house from the outside, but players hiding inside the house cannot directly attack people outside. And the average safe house, even if you include the windows, has only ten entrances and exits at most.

In this way, when the location of the safe house is exposed. As long as the opponent sends his subordinates to surround the house, the player who hides inside will immediately fall into complete passivity.

Opening the door and rushing out will kill you, hiding in the house is not a long-term solution, and in the event of an event such as a full-band scan, the player will still be ruthlessly kicked out of the safe house and look at the enemies surrounding the house.

And the very creative players will naturally not let the enemy sleep in the safe house, what to plant mines at the door, install tripline bombs, nail boards, poison gas bombs and other shady tricks in an endless stream.

According to the posts on the forum, there were even players who used a large number of bombs to blow up the land around the enemy's safe house, turning the impregnable building into a lonely "island" standing on the foundation. The player who couldn't leave the safe house had no choice but to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

Because of this, experienced veteran players, when they find that they are being followed, will also decisively choose to take a detour to leave the safe house, preferring to enter the danger by themselves and hide the location of their lair.

What Lin Chi has to do now is to mark the location of the other players' safe houses in this map.

Even with control of military-grade precision imaging satellites, this still sounds unrealistic.

However, Lin Chi, who was assisted by a super hacker, also immediately thought of a simple and crude method.

……

10:27 p.m., Brooklyn.

In the two safe houses that Lin Chi bought, the barracks had long since turned off the lights, and the mercenaries inside were resting, preparing for a big battle that might happen at any time.

The workshop in the Italian quarter, not far away, is still brightly lit. Lin Chi and Medea sat at their workbenches in the living room, staring at the high-definition projection on the wall curtain without blinking.

"You want to take a panoramic view of the city with a satellite?" Medea asked curiously.

At this time, the mining queen had already changed out of the white dress before and changed back to her usual casual dress. Lin Chi also put on his previous T-shirt and shorts, and suddenly changed from a "young rich man" back to the original decadent youth.

"Shooting panoramas is part of it, mainly contrasting pictures." Lin Chi explained casually, used the electronic eye to connect to the channel of No. 7, and began to give the next combat orders to the hacker who was loyal to him.

"Do what I tell you to do." He said.

"Got it." Seven's gender-indistinguishable voice came from the headphones: "I've been ready for a long time." ”

As he spoke, the time had already reached half past ten in the evening, and one of the military-grade imaging satellites controlled by Lin Chi had arrived directly above the east coast of the United States and began to photograph New York, the world's largest city.

As the imaging satellite began to work, an aerial view of New York City at night was suddenly displayed on the wall of the living room of the workshop.

Even at night, the city is lit up like a diamond set on the shore, sparkling with colourful light.

Lin Chi stretched out his hand and pressed it on the touch screen, and began to fine-tune the position of the picture, and soon, the whole picture of New York City was presented on the wall of the workshop.

Unlike the satellites in the real world, the imaging satellites in the game in 2050 are shot with unprecedented clarity, and although the current wall is only a thumbnail, even if it is magnified hundreds of times, the picture is still extremely clear, and even the English prompt "Do not step on" on the roadside manhole cover can be seen when zoomed in to the limit.

After confirming that there was no problem with the clarity of the imaging satellite, Lin Chi immediately activated the satellite's "continuous shooting mode" and began to shoot New York City non-stop, leaving fixed pictures. Then he lowered his voice and said:

"Do it."

Before the words fell, the street lights on the street outside the safe house suddenly went out, and at the same time, there was also a satellite footage projected on the wall.

In that moment, the whole of New York City went dark as if it had lost its life.

From the northernmost Bronx to the southernmost Stutter Island, the light of almost all the buildings in this megacity suddenly went out in the same second, leaving only a dense cluster of car lights, reflecting the dark roads, and some places where barbecues or candlelit dinners were taking place, and a dim yellow light.

Then, the facilities that had to maintain power 24 hours a day immediately activated the backup power system, and hundreds of light spots lit up in the city again.

"It's spectacular...... "Medea couldn't help but sigh.

-- This is probably the first time in history that a power outage of this magnitude has erupted in New York City.

With the outbreak of the blackout, the city was once again thrown into chaos. The official also immediately realized that this level of power outage was not an ordinary power supply system failure at all, but a premeditated large-scale hacking attack!

Just when everyone was speculating whether this power outage was a terrorist attack, the "culprit" who planned this operation lazily leaned back on the sofa and said lightly: "It's okay." ”

Before Lin Chi's words fell, the city that was reflected on the wall began to brighten up again, and the light of the street lamp also penetrated the glass and threw it into the room again.

-- If someone who doesn't know the truth sees this scene, they may worship him as God!

After all, there seems to be no difference between the situation just now and the record in the Book of Genesis, "God said there would be light, and there was light......

"How is this done?" Medea asked in surprise.

She just heard that Lin Chi had found a new comrade-in-arms, but she didn't expect that "newcomer" to have such terrifying abilities.

"I don't know." Lin Chi said casually.

As the power supply in New York City was restored again, Lin Chi also temporarily stopped controlling the satellite before the people of Universal Commercial Satellite became suspicious, and only transmitted the dozens of huge photos taken with the satellite just now to the computer on the workbench.

Each of the high-definition photos of this size has a size of at least 10GB, and if you replace it with a broken computer with poor performance, I am afraid that it will be stuck directly when you open the picture.

"It's time to take a look at the high-definition uncensored big picture."

Lin Chi said and turned on the satellite image of the moment of the power outage just now, only to see the light in the entire city, basically only the car lights and the light emitted by various electronic devices in the hands of the citizens. As for the buildings in the city, they were almost all shrouded in darkness. But......

The very few houses on the map, seemingly unaffected by the blackout, are still illuminated at an inopportune time.

Since many houses on the side of the street were brightly reflected by the car lights, Lin Chi first ruled out the busy avenues and focused his eyes on the dark paths.

Then, he soon discovered that there were seven unassuming apartments in Brooklyn and Queens, unaffected by the power outage, and still brightly lit!

In this day and age, almost no one used old-fashioned generators. Homes that were not affected by the outage in the slightest were clearly not generated by their own electricity. Rather, it is protected by the rules of the game, the safe house of other players!

"Found you."

After marking the location of the seven safe houses on the map, Lin Chi smiled with satisfaction, saved the map in his electronic eye, stood up and turned around and left.

――Now that you know where they are, it's time to visit them.
