Chapter 172: Zero Appears

The people on the SUV 01 are still in shock, although the snipers have been dispatched in the black nest of the ski resort last time, but the people who were sniped at that time were not them, and the feeling was not so strong, this time the iron fist fell to the ground, and the splattered blood was still on Zhang Heng's shirt, but it really made them realize what it was to pass by with death.

Everyone, including Leia, squatted under their seats, for fear of showing their heads and killing them from bullets that flew from nowhere.

It wasn't until two minutes later that Zhang Heng held the steering wheel and said, "Okay, you can look up, we are safe for the time being." ”

"Uh...... Are you sure? "Vardy," I heard he sniped from a distance, but how far away did he shoot while he was on the slopes? ”

"We're in the city now, not in the open air of a ski resort." Zhang Heng patiently explained, "The route I chose was covered by buildings on the street, and snipers couldn't lock us. ”

"That's good." Valdo finally relented and returned to his seat.

Although out of danger, the ponytail man's face was not very good, and he said, "Those people are not coming for us, but for Edward, which means that the patience of the Black Nest has finally been exhausted, and he does not intend to solve this matter by peaceful means." ”

"Edward is in a dangerous situation right now, we must find him before the Black Nest." Semi-prime numbers are also rare to talk about.

"But the only person who knows his whereabouts has just died in front of us."

As soon as the little boy said this, everyone fell silent again, the ponytail man was the oldest of the people present, but he was not yet forty years old, and he had not been exposed to death much, but since he was involved in the struggle between the Black Nest and Edward, they had already witnessed two "deaths" with their own eyes.

Among them, the ponytail man jumped off the bridge and miraculously survived, but this time Iron Fist was indeed dead and could not die again.

"I've been thinking about a question just now, how did the people from the Black Nest find here?" Philip, who hadn't spoken before, also said at this time.

"Huh?"

"No one knows Edward's abilities better than us, but the guy who died just a few minutes ago said that their residence was raided by the Black Hive two weeks ago, and with Edward's personality, he must have been more careful after this, and at the same time tried to find out the cause and take precautions, but even so, the Black Hive found him only two weeks later."

"You want to say that someone betrayed Edward?" The little boy raised an eyebrow, "There aren't many people Edward can trust at this time, and that guy called Iron Fist certainly can't, after all, he's, uh...... That's it, so only Mr. Jirm is left, but considering what happened to his son's family before, it's unlikely that he will be on the side of the Black Nest. ”

"I'm not saying there must be an inner ghost, but there should be something for the Black Hive to find Edward." Philip sighed, "It's a pity we don't know what that thing is. ”

"It's CTOS." Zhang Heng, who was driving, suddenly interjected.

"Huh?"

"The Black Nest has connected CTOS to the city."

Hearing this, everyone in 01 looked at each other, "...... This is not possible, isn't CTOS not yet complete, and generally speaking, such works need to be approved by the House of Representatives. ”

"It is true that there are still a considerable number of functions of CTOS that have not been completed, and the algorithm has not been adjusted to the optimum, but the part of the system used to collect citizen information has been built half a year ago, and theoretically this castrated version of the system has the conditions for going online...... As for the question of legitimacy, it is true that the Black Nest did not have a mandate from the parliament, but they had a lot of influence in Toulouse, and the city council was their men, and they obtained a signed document from the mayor that allowed them to carry out some preliminary experimental work in Toulouse. ”

"What is upfront pilot work?"

"That's the problem, there's nothing defined in the document, so the Black Nest is free to do that."

"Does it include silently putting CTOS online without telling the public?" Lhea's eyes widened.

"So far, I'm afraid so."

One of the questions that Zhang Heng wanted to figure out the most before leaving the parallel copy was what was the zero in the main quest, he didn't get an answer from 01, and he didn't collect much valuable information about Edward's murder in the end, Leia and others, Zhang Heng spent half a month visiting some people who knew at the time, and there was nothing to gain, until he took a great risk on the last day to sneak into the headquarters of the black nest and found a record of the early research and development of CTOS. I learned that the Black Nest had secretly launched an unfinished version of the CTOS system to capture Edward.

The name of this system is Zero.

However, the online time of Zero recorded in the document was two weeks later, so there was still a lot of time left for Zhang Heng's activities, but he didn't know if the online time of Zero was advanced because of the player's behavior.

The Black Nest's raid on Edward's room two weeks ago proves that Zero is now working at least a month early.

"Okay, so we're facing a city that's already being monitored by the Black Nest." Philip took two deep breaths, "Let me think about what we can do at a time like this?" ”

"Can you hack into the CTOS system?" The ponytail man asked Valdo.

"I don't know, Edward once talked to me about CTOS, CTOS's intelligent security system was built by him and a few other very powerful guys, and it can be improved through learning, and he boasted that even he couldn't break it himself, but you know mine, I don't think there are places in this world that I can't go, but it will take time, maybe weeks, maybe months, and they may still track me, no, I should say with the help of CTOS, this is something that will definitely happen."

"I can hack CTOs." Zhang Heng said, "Of course, it's just the current fragmented version." ”

In the later parallel dungeons, a group of hackers led by 01 fought a long war with the Black Nest, during which the hackers also achieved some phased victories, but every time they found a vulnerability, it was equivalent to making the Black Nest upgrade, and in the end, it only made the CTOS more perfect, or even almost perfect, which is also what made the hackers feel desperate.

But it's not 12 years later, and Zero is only the original version of CTOS, and it does have some vulnerabilities.

In the previous two months in the town, Zhang Heng made far more preparations than everyone in 01 saw.
