Chapter 40: The Battle Outside the Firewall

Simona stood on the 'porch' with a knife in her backhand.

This is the first place to arrive after crossing the fence of the data maze, that is, the location of the system firewall, it is the only entry and exit point for information between different networks, by monitoring, restricting, changing the data flow across the firewall, as far as possible to shield the internal information, structure and operation of the network to the outside, selectively accept external access, except for those who have obtained the identification code, everyone must pass the firewall detection before they can access the Anasta Museum.

The specific performance here is like a huge porch, because regular visits will not be led here, so the owner of this place has not put too much thought into the interactive interface of this place, as if it is still a city wall of ancient times, the data interface here is extremely rough, piled up into thick black stones, becoming a wall that penetrates the sky and the earth, isolating external data and internal networks, and in front of that transparent wall, there is Simona in front of the horizontal knife, looking at those uninvited guests with a calm face.

The data thieves looked here, they were dressed in various ways, here, they appeared in human form, but this was the same as the black stones around, it was just a simple interactive interface, just like Simona and Li Xingyuan, they existed in this world in a unique way of data, Simona narrowed her eyes, and through the analysis of the data horizon, she quickly judged the strength of the other party.

There are two monks of the same Qi cultivation level as her, they have already crossed the stage of Bigu and officially entered the realm of cultivation, and the remaining three are not monks, but they should have transformed their minds through electronic brains, holding weapons made of electronic viruses.

And in the void behind them, there was a strange stream of data, some kind of data cloaked in a 'Trojan horse' coat, and Simona couldn't see what was behind it.

Simona exhaled softly - the exhalation of this thing is like updating her own data list on the data interface - she has been through a hundred battles, but she will still feel nervous, this data interface fight is not easier than the battle outside, and even more dangerous, even if you have purchased the resurrection insurance of those 'gods', if you lose, you will still die, become data garbage, and disappear forever with the destruction of the storage medium.

"Grey Raven."

The data thief at the head said that his dress was very similar to what Li Xingyuan used to wear, with a black trench coat and a mask on his face, and most of the cyber mercenaries were dressed like this.

"You've already lost, don't get in the way, there's no need to lose your life for a mission that is sure to fail."

"Bound to fail?"

Simona sneered.

"Not really."

"Five to one." The data thief shrugged: "I'm just talking about things. ”

"Ha, don't say it's just the five of you, even if it's ten times more, it won't be my opponent." Simona slowly pulled out her sword: "You hacked into the Anasta Museum using a remote network, and I was connected by wire, and your data is just a turtle in an urn here." ”

That's true.

Unless it is a distraction, people who communicate to the data network through the wireless network are by default more vulnerable than those who are connected by wire, which is determined by the nature of the network.

"Really?"

Data thieves spread their hands.

"Unfortunately, our negotiations have broken down."

Behind the data thief, a man in the form of a strong man stepped forward silently, with a mask embedded in his face, and the top of his head was completely bald - because he was not a monk, he was not connected to the network through artificial meridians, so this had nothing to do with his real-life image, even if he wanted to use Godzilla or Gundam as his interactive interface, it was no problem - he carried a Gatling-like weapon in his hand, aimed in the direction of Simona.

It's black ice.

Simona narrowed her eyes, and the moment the other man opened fire—not bullets, but black slime like ink, which were corrosive viruses that could destroy the data avatar of a low-level monk—Simona stepped forward and picked up her long knife, which burst into flames, just like in the world, and Simona ignored the black rain of slime and began to charge in the direction of the data thieves.

Her ponytail fluttered in the flames, her eyes blazing like fused torches, the blade sliced through the raindrops of slime, and in the data network, she could be faster than in reality, fast enough to become a blurred shadow, a flame staring at the enemy, fiercely heading in the direction of the data thief.

In reality, accidents may inevitably happen, but in the field of data, every monk can play his strongest state in theory.

"Not bad."

Said the leader of the data thieves.

"But I'm faster...... Also stronger! ”

Data thieves specialize in committing crimes in the data field, so it is natural to choose the most suitable exercises and prosthetics to play a role in the data field.

The moment Simona's firelight flickered, he stretched out his black iron palm and firmly grasped Simona's blade.

The blazing flames burned but only scratched a few pieces of data in the hands of the leader of the data thieves.

Simona grinned.

Fooled?

The leader of the data thieves was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a shout from his companion behind him.

There is no need to look back, as fellow monks, data thieves naturally understand how to switch the perspective of data.

At the moment when Simona's smile was aroused, the data thief read the record of the data at that moment and understood what had just happened.

Just as Simona slashed with the spreading flames, and the data thief leader caught it with the black iron palm, a hazy human form swept out of Simona's shadow suddenly jumped out of Simona's shadow, and slashed at the people who had no time to take precautions behind the data thief leader.

In a monk-level battle, the nerve reaction speed of ordinary people is simply not enough to dodge the slash that is slashed at the level of a monk!

In addition to the other companion among the data thieves, who was also a Qi cultivation cultivator, the remaining three ordinary companions had been slashed by the flame man in an instant, and all of them were wiped out, and their data fragments turned into pieces of dust and flowed into the corners of the storage medium.

"Now." Simona raised five fingers in front of the leader of the data thieves, then curled up to three: "Two more." ”
