Chapter 229: Ghost in the Shell (5)
It is a small seaside city full of flowers, and the houses are made of white granite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At a motel near the entrance to the city, a black van pulled up and a young man and woman stepped out of it.
The black hair and red hair are none other than Zhou Dong and Kalian.
"Ahh I thought, boss, don't we already have money, why don't we get a private jet? ā
"Do you want to be shot down by someone else's border anti-aircraft guns? Or do you have the confidence to shoot down those fighter groups with civilian aircraft? ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Karen blushed at her ignorance for only three seconds, and as soon as she entered the lobby of the motel, she saw the sea through the balcony outside the glass, and then she immediately changed the subject and said excitedly: "By the sea! The sea! After lunch, let's go swimming and relax! ā
"It's impossible to relax, at least we'll be busy for the last few days." Zhou Dong shook his head, he was holding a box in his left hand, the material of the box was a strange dark metal, 20 inches wide and 14 inches high, about a palm thick, it looked very heavy, in fact, together with the goods contained in it, the weight was only less than 10KG.
At this time, Karen did not understand the meaning of her boss's words, until the end of lunch, no matter how dull she was, she also sensed the dangerous atmosphere in the air.
Compared to when I came to the restaurant twenty minutes ago, there were only about a dozen people sitting at seven or eight tables, but now there are more than a dozen tables surrounded by more than forty people, some of whom are not very professionally staring, so that amateurs such as Karen can also realize that she and the boss are being watched.
However, there is also a benefit to not having a heart, Karen found that she didn't seem to be very scared, but more curious, she lowered her voice and asked the boss: "Are these people here to grab the goods?" ā
"Of course, 300 million credits is not easy to earn, it only costs 100,000 to buy a bad life like a homeless man, and 1 million to buy an ordinary person, if it is a cyborg with most of the mechanical transformation of the body, a few million can't run away, that is, I calculate...... Well, at least a hundred people have to be killed, and this mission is not a loss. ā
"I'll just hide under the table for a while?"
The two of them discussed things casually for a while, and many of the bounty hunters who had strengthened their ears and hearing all looked slightly stunned, as if they felt insulted.
"Are you a fool? Our bounty on the gray web is only 10 million, and if we do it in such a crowded public place, they will have trouble dealing with the public security in the future...... Waiter! Come here! ā
The black-haired youth didn't panic at all, and asked the waiter to come and pack a few days' worth of convenience food and high-energy compressed foods such as chocolate.
"Sir, what you want is ready, a total of 310 credits." The waiter smiled with his standard eight teeth and handed out the POS machine to the customer.
In this era, the POS machine is actually just a palm-sized thin crystal screen, with a QR code that can be scanned, and the biochemical person sees the scene through the retina, and then the brain scans and processes it, and you can directly make network payments through the intelligent mobile terminal composed of nanoparticles in the brain.
"Oh, four, you don't need to look for it."
However, to the waiter's surprise, a stunned expression appeared on his face.
The black-haired young man generously took out his wallet from his pocket, and then handed out four rare antique coins, although they were rarely used and had become a niche currency, but they still had the value of circulating currency.
Kalian took the food and walked to the business car, Zhou Dong picked up the box and got up, leaving a sentence in the ear of the stunned waiter before leaving.
"Lad, sometimes it's a loophole to put on a show that the motel waiter doesn't smile with the standard eight teeth."
The waiter helplessly watched the prey leave, and after the black business car quickly disappeared, he looked at the POS in his hand, and threw it to the ground with an expressionless face, this trap full of viruses was no longer useful.
After the black business car left, more than a dozen different cars nearby also quietly followed like epiphytes.
At least why is he wanted, Zhou Dong can only think that the news was released by the client, and as for what the 'Golden Apple' is, the information purchased from the gray Internet also makes him understand it somewhat.
The news that I bought it for tens of thousands of dollars is only about 100 words, which probably means that the golden apple is a certain talented scientist genius and his scientific research team, under the full sponsorship of a powerful organization, developed some kind of huge secret related to human genes, it is said that as long as you master this golden apple, you can manipulate all self-conscious humans, and only those AI machines can avoid its power.
He didn't know if it was true or not, but Zhou Dong was sure that the things in his suitcase would definitely not be the real 'golden apple'.
But even if it is, he doesn't know how to use it, and it's just a cargo that needs to be transported to him.
And he himself, very likely, is just a cover used by the noble lady to hide people's eyes, the real 'golden apple', Zhou Dong thinks that it is still in the hands of the forces behind the noble lady.
ā¦ā¦
A few streets outside the motel, a "Tachikma" was quietly moving a few hundred meters away from the black business van, moving in parallel.
A combat-type manned robot with artificial intelligence. The fuselage is about the size of a car, the whole body is like a beetle, the body is painted blue, the head "surface is installed with three white spherical "eyes" that can rotate flexibly, support infrared night vision and other functions, a total of six arms/legs, two of which mainly have the function of arms, and the other four mainly have the function of legs There are rollers at the bottom, which can carry out flexible and high-speed crawling, jumping, sliding and even crawling on the vertical wall and inverted plane, etc., the body is loaded with a certain amount of weapons that can be operated autonomously or by the driver. Programmed with cute-sounding audio fluctuations, it can communicate with humans and other individuals of the same kind.
The team of five people in the car was the arrest team led by the brown-haired and Chinese-faced Togusa.
"It seems that the target is very alert, and he easily saw through that trap."
"After all, you've heard it, it's a mission worth 300 million credits, and the mercenary who can take over this commission doesn't need us to doubt its strength."
"Follow them well, let those bounty hunters explore the way for us first, and see their true strength."
"Hmm, they've stopped, are they buying gas, or are they buying big?"
"That's a clever move."
"Captain, what do you say?"
"They can't be discovered by the national government, at least on the surface, they can't make a big fuss, they can only take some roads and mountain roads, it's always good to have more gasoline, what's more, they have these tanks of solid gasoline, I'm afraid it's to prevent long-range gunpowder attacks, if the gasoline is ignited and exploded, the bounty hunters will blow up the 'golden apple' they escort, then it's pointless."
Togusa was teaching his subordinates some things, and these young people were of good quality in their own right, but the task experience was still immature in his opinion.
