Chapter 13: Confluence
"This ...... It's a long story. γLatest chapter reading. Yang Wenbin sat down beside Yan Junli, sighed, and thought about how to tell Yan Junli what happened in the most concise language, "I escaped, met Xia Baiyan, and was invited to his house for tea, and then we were all caught by Sha Ying, and then ...... Xia Baiyan blew himself up. β
"What? Self-destructed? Yan Junli said in surprise.
"Right...... He's dead. Then Zhou Mu took advantage of the chaos to rescue me, and I followed him to find you. There's a lot going on here. Yang Wenbin rubbed his head irritably, sighed and decided to explain the reason to him later, "Don't talk about me, what about you?" β
"When I woke up from surgery, I realized what was going on outside." Yan Junli said calmly, with an extraordinary calmness on his face, not at all like a person who had just experienced the storm, "I kept Zhou Mu looking for you while trying to contact the Ministry of Public Security, but it was useless, and now I can't even get through to the phone of the police headquarters." The officers of the Criminal Investigation Brigade have scattered to various parts of the city, and they cannot be contacted at all without communication. I also tried to leave City C to find foreign help, but both trains and buses were suspended due to the power outage, and these transportation hubs were all guarded by Sand Eagles. β
"They want to turn the city into a dead city." Yang Wenbin said in a low voice.
Yan Junli nodded, "Now that the streets are full of rampant criminals, I still decided to do what I can." There were many innocent urban natives who were injured in the riots, not to mention their houses and possessions. β
Yan Junli looked at the many people who were silent and trembling on the side and said, "They can't go back to their homes, and they don't know what all this is about, so I can only get a simple hidden shelter and let them stay here for the time being, not to be found by the thugs on the ground." β
Yang Wenbin followed Yan Junli's gaze and looked over, there were all these fallen citizens, different from the clowns hidden among the citizens, and different from the Sand Eagle agents who hid in the crowd every day, they were really innocent people who knew nothing. Yang Wenbin saw a man with a cyan stubble, a woman who took off her high heels and cried while rubbing her ankles, an old man who was slightly chubby and bloated in a floral shirt, and a child who was crying all the time. These people are of all ages and genders, but they have the same expression on their faces: confusion and sadness.
Yang Wenbin thought of the question Xia Baiyan was still asking him not long ago: "Is there any point in you doing this?" β
Yes, it makes sense. Yang Wenbin replied silently in his heart. The meaning is that we can save these truly innocent people from suffering.
"You little two people have a belly to say when they meet, just hang me here? It's so unconscionable. Zhou Mu didn't know when he came over, took off his coat, shook off the water on it, and said, "Black cat, I have basically confirmed the information you wanted." β
Yan Junli nodded, "It's hard work." β
"What do you want him to confirm?" Yang Wenbin asked.
"Now that Sand Eagle's men and horses have been scattered all over the city, they plan to slaughter all the people in Guangc City indiscriminately." Yan Junli had a gloomy face, "Now they are announcing to the outside world that there is a large plague outbreak in City C, so they are isolated." Wait until they kill all the people here, and then claim that the people here are dying because of the outbreak of the plague. β
"Ye Heshuo, this, raised by a son...... How did he come up with such a dehumanizing plan? Yang Wenbin muttered.
"So I asked Zhou Mu to carefully investigate where Sha Ying's manpower is distributed when he sneaks in, and see if we can come up with a countermeasure based on this."
Zhou Mu nodded, took out a small map of City C and a pen from his pocket, and circled it around, "According to my observation, the sand eagles are distributed here, and people are arranged here, here and here, these are the transportation hubs and peripheral boundaries of City C, needless to say, the purpose is to isolate the city." Then they also evenly distributed their men in each city, and in each area there was a team of fifteen people, no more and one no less, and each of them had heavy weapons in their hands, and it was impossible for a few of us to fight hard. But what makes me strange is actually here...... You see. β
Zhou Mu moved his pen to an open area, which was very close to the suburbs, and there were not many residents and residents.
"The strange thing is that when I looked at their arrangement chart, I found that Ye Heshuo also arranged manpower here, not only that, but there were two squads and a full thirty agents with heavy weapons. Why is that? That place doesn't even go to for birds. β
"Mother machine." Yang Wenbin said suddenly.
"What?" Zhou Mu was inexplicable, "Uh, there are hens there...... But are they going to pick up eggs? β
"It's not!" Yang Wenbin interrupted Zhou Mu impatiently, "I'm talking about the core artificial intelligence computer in the Olive Branch Project!" Xia Baiyan told me that the reason why Shaying was able to monitor City C and even the whole country was because of this large AI computer. There are so many people in the Sand Hawks faction, then there is only one possibility, that is, the mother machine of the olive branch is there! β
Yan Junli deserved to be Yan Junli, and immediately reacted to Yang Wenbin's meaning, "We have to destroy this mother machine." Sand Eagle's communication and operations rely on this machine, and there is a high probability that the entire city will be cut off from power and communication because of this. As soon as we destroy this machine, it's game over. β
"That's right!" Yang Wenbin was excited because he saw the dawn of victory, "And the deployment of the sand eagle just exposes the position of the machine, and we can easily ......"
"It's easy to make a fart." Zhou Mu poured a basin of cold water on Yang Wenbin at this juncture, "First of all, a computer machine that can comprehensively monitor the movements of people across the country must be at least the size of a villa, if it is really in City C, why have we never seen it?" Second, even if you do find that giant machine, how are you going to destroy something that big? Do you think it's a home computer? Can it be broken with a hammer? Take another 10,000 steps back, and even if you can really find it, you can definitely destroy it, how do you avoid those thirty Sand Eagle agents with heavy lethal weapons? There are only three of us! β
Zhou Mu's words made both of them fall into deep thought and fell silent.
"If Li Hong is on our side...... He must know more about computers than we do. Yan Junli suddenly spoke, but this sentence only made the atmosphere more desperate.
