A chaotic burst of gunfire and fighting was heard over the building's radio, which ended abruptly after a short, loud cry of pain from the guards, apparently the intruders had brutally dealt with the guards and unilaterally cut off the radio communications.

The expressions of the people in the conference room who had not yet recovered from the impact just now suddenly became not very good with the abrupt end of the broadcast.

The enemy had quietly invaded the interior of the Tower of Babel, and if they hadn't been stopped in time, the intruders would have reached the seventy-seventh floor in a few minutes.

With the exception of Dr. Hyde, such thoughts were on everyone's mind.

No one felt that the guards inside the Tower of Babel could keep the intruders at bay.

With the widespread use of brain-computer chips, crime and violence are severely restricted, and with the advent of flexible artificial intelligence Sibylla and drones that can work around the clock, various professions such as police, military, and guard have become a thing of the past.

The guards of the Tower of Babel may sometimes be inferior to the Gatekeepers of the Old World against outsiders who can exercise violence.

The doorman can still pick up the broom and beat the thief back

The radio news caused a lot of discussion in the conference room for a while, but because Hyde was in charge of the overall situation, and the ministers had seen the storm, and whether it was the ability to resist pressure, the quality of morality, or the ability and means were completely worthy of the position they held, everyone maintained the greatest restraint, even if the threat was imminent, it did not let the whispers turn into riots or even chaos.

Alas, I'm really afraid of something

Hyde sighed secretly, ignoring the non-stop whispers in his ears, rubbed his temples vigorously, picked up the internal phone in the conference room, and connected the communication channel: the control room, immediately physically cut off the operation of all elevators, activated the safety lock to cut off the elevator shaft, and lowered the alloy gates in every part of the Tower of Babel to delay the intruder as much as possible.

Be! All elevators have been irreversibly suspended through physical destruction, and the elevator shaft and tower are being gradually blocked. The control room personnel on the other end of the line also heard the announcement, and had already begun to work on the lockdown before the call was connected, and due to the quick response, the intruder's plan to quickly reach the upper floors through the elevator shaft had failed, and they were now trying to quickly get to the upper floors via stairs and other routes

If they were going to take the stairs to the seventy-seventh floor, the alloy gates and security locks that needed to be blown open along the way would hold them back for at least a few hours. The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and the other party seemed to hesitate for a few seconds before asking: Doctor, do you need to activate the maximum security mode?

Hyde shook his head: There is no need to activate the maximum security mode, just like this for now, report back on what you know so far, who the intruders are, how many they are, and what the equipment is.

Yes? Oh! Good! Probably didn't expect to get such an answer, the controller was stunned for a moment and didn't react, and then realized that he was out of shape before he exclaimed and continued: Through the playback of the monitoring probe, we found that the intruders were a group of more than 30 people, and the weapons and equipment far exceeded the elite squad of the ordinary resistance army by one or two grades.

Almost all of them are equipped with adaptive optics camouflage uniforms, which can fully blend into the surrounding environment when stationary, and will cause disturbance and distortion of the surrounding scenery when they move, but the amplitude of the distortion seems to be linked to their speed and range of movement, the faster the speed, the greater the amplitude of action, the more likely it is to have obvious scenery distortions, if you maintain a certain low speed forward, coupled with the cover of the night, it can indeed deceive the surveillance probe of the street, and it is difficult to detect through conventional detection methods, I'm afraid that's why they've been able to quietly bypass the defenses

After the elevator was out of service, several technicians pulled out data cables from their bodies to connect to the internal circuits of the elevator, trying to restore the operation of the elevator through technical means

The sense of anti-reconnaissance is very strong, and many surveillance probes are often destroyed before they can be captured, plus they have always remained invisible, so we don't have much information to get

Although the invading forces only had an extremely brief confrontation with the guards on the first floor, and quickly reverted to invisibility, it was already enough for the relevant personnel in the control room to study a lot of things.

Hyde quietly listened to the summary of the controllers, and the sound coming from the telephone receiver was not loud, but everyone in the conference room had undergone a certain transformation, and it was not difficult to hear the sound coming from the receiver clearly, and soon everyone figured out the grim situation they were facing at the moment.

After hanging up the phone, Hyde sighed helplessly: Although I guessed that the other party would definitely send a decapitation unit, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and this group of troops should have entered in the evening when the battle was most intense

Johnson's face suddenly became confused: Why are you so sure of the time?

Because the monitoring probe is chubby security minister this time spoke, he habitually took out a handkerchief and wiped the coolant oozing from his forehead, the white handkerchief has been used for more than ten hours and is now stained with blue stains, but the security minister does not care about these continued, the monitoring probes on the street are all high-definition probes, and the distortion of the scenery caused by their movement will definitely be found by the monitoring probe, and only at night when the light is not good will there be a slight performance degradation problem, At that time, the power supply in the city had not been restored by an hour after dark, and they could have used the optical camouflage to infiltrate the city at that time

After such an explanation, Johnson immediately reacted: In other words, the previous battle in the south of the city was actually a feint operation? A feint to cover up the invasion of the decapitated troops?

It's not that simple, it's a two-handed preparation Dr. Hyde shook his head, lost the drone that could be mobilized, we can say that we are completely relying on automatic defense at the moment, and the enemy has a steady stream of reinforcements to enter the city, the enemy is strong and I am weak, if they can't hold it head-on, they don't need to play any tricks, just hit the Tower of Babel, but even if we block the pressure from the front, their decapitation troops can take the opportunity to sneak in and destroy, and they should cooperate with the outside

He refocused his gaze on the map on the projection screen: the rebels, who had not been quiet for a long time, were afraid that they would take the opportunity of the decapitation force to invade to organize the next wave of attacks

Subsequently, as Hyde had guessed, shortly after the decapitation force invaded the Tower of Babel, the battle on the frontal battlefield that had previously died down was once again ignited, as if to cooperate with the decapitation force to fight on two fronts.

Unlike the previous ones, this time the rebel attack was real.

The armored troops are lined up in the wide lanes, and they are advancing under the attack of machine guns and rockets from automatic turrets, and these armored vehicles are all rough things made of broken copper and iron, and they look like they may fall apart at any time, but in fact, in terms of performance and combat effectiveness, they are much stronger than the armored vehicles of the old era.

In a sense, the armored car controlled by the brain through direct nerve connection is an extension of their body, and after the driver, gunner and commander, in addition to the nutrient tank containing the brain, the other space in the car is used to increase accessories or armor to enhance the performance of the armored car.

The previous painless small arms attacks on the automatic turrets were almost extinct, and after the main goal was to capture the opponent, the firepower displayed by the rebels was more than a notch higher than before, and the mechanized infantry, which was specially built as war machines, fired armor-piercing shells from shoulder cannons mounted on their shoulders, and the artillery positions outside the city fired large-caliber shells, roaring from the sky to destroy the buildings and roads in the city

For a time, the intensity of the entire battlefield increased several times compared to before.

Seeing that the situation on the front line was not optimistic, Hyde readjusted the layout of the turrets in the rear, and sighed with emotion: The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that the decapitated troops did not directly paralyze our control, because it took a few hours for them to capture the Tower of Babel in time

Boom!

But before Hyde could finish his words, a loud bang drowned out the second half of his sentence, and the wooden door of the conference room was kicked open with flying sawdust!

The sudden loud bang attracted everyone's attention, not only the ministers and Johnson, but even Hyde was stunned

The unexpected movement disrupted the formation, and he subconsciously looked towards the door.

A man and a woman, two figures stood at the door of the conference room.

The man had white hair and stared at Hyde with an angry face, as if he was going to eat him alive, and the woman had blue hair and waist-length beauty, holding a laptop in her arms, and smirking at the novelty of the conference room like a curious baby.

Sea! Morality! I've come to settle accounts with you! Jekyll looked at Hyde sitting at the table, gritted his teeth and almost word by word popped out of his teeth, although the latter showed a trace of surprise on his face, but after seeing the comer clearly, he immediately relaxed, and even refilled himself with a cup of coffee, and then glared back without fear, his face full of playful ridicule: Are you tired of climbing stairs?

Jekyll was stunned: ? I took the elevator up.

The smile on Hyde's face faded: Huh?

Johnson, Ministers: ?????
