Chapter 209: Landing
In fact, Mutba's actions, compared to Sam and Tsuiko's side, are simply not a level of difficulty.
He has always been wary of the giant beast powerhouse with the strength of "several more than 250,000 horses", and he can't see a single one in the base of Guadalajara City, Mexico.
It's a purely underground research facility.
There are guards, but most of them are war machines made of high-tech machinery, with highly prosthetic mercenaries.
Truth be told, this combination and strength can play well even against the world's mainstream armies.
But it's a pity that this time they are facing a giant beast powerhouse with the purpose of infiltration, investigation, and internal destruction.
The whole process is carried out "as long as everyone who sees me is dead, it is perfect stealth".
And when Mutba turned the entire base upside down with his own experience.
Even as an African mercenary, he couldn't help but show rare mood swings when he reported to Bai Tangjing.
"There is a sterile environment of the highest level and the engineering planning is well organized...... The same is true of the world's most advanced medical research institutions. But ah, Hakudo ......"
"Everything here makes me sick to the point where I can't do it."
Mutba still has that mocking smile in the video.
But after Bai Tangjing exceeded 300,000 horses, his emotional resonance ability from Godzilla is getting stronger and stronger.
Beneath Muteba's nonchalant exterior, his cold heart trembled.
The boy looked calm on the plane and did not speak, he knew that Muteba's words were not finished.
"This is a human organ experiment and transfer point."
Mutba circled the camera around him and turned behind him.
The scene in front of him, even with the mentality of Bai Tangjing, he couldn't help but breathe for a moment.
Thousands of bio-storage tanks sit like living creatures under the cold light of the warehouse.
But those storage tanks are not ordinary hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys.
These things were already prepared in the young man's mind after Mutba said what the base was capable of.
If you really see it, you won't be shocked.
But no......
Presented in the video - it's a brain!
The folded cerebral cortex is exposed directly into the fluid, and the tiny metal crest bone, which is less than three centimeters long, is connected to the brain, and they twist in the fluid like a twitching rat's tail.
There is also a pair of bare eyeballs.
After Mutba focused, all the eyeballs in all the storage tanks turned to him...... That is, on the video camera!
At that moment, the heterogeneity of the human brain could send chills down the hearts of any human being!
It's as if countless whispers are conveyed in those round eyeballs and drill into your head.
The armrests of the plane seats did not make any sound, and they had already been chopped into pieces by the strength of Bai Tangjing's palm.
Falling sparsely.
Muteba's words continued with the movement of the mirror.
"After the Plague of the Black Dragon, Europe was in ruins, and the refugees were innumerable. Most of the material here comes from refugee children. ”
"Why use children specifically?"
Bai Tangjing's voice did not change, but the picture from the camera shook for a moment.
It was Muteba with the camera in his hand, and an inexplicable chill hit his heart just now, making his hands tremble.
"Remember, remember those highly prosthetic soldiers? They are original, and there is only one brain left. ”
“...... They use their children's brains to do VR training? ”
"One step further, White Hall. They are one step closer...... Remember the neural bridging technique? It turned out to be something that could connect people. ”
The brain training that the two of them are talking about is not something new for a long time.
More than a decade ago, a more realistic gunplay game could become a simulated training ground.
A few years ago, immersive training based on VR technology was rolled out in mainstream militaries.
As for now?
"They backed up a lot of the fighting skills of the best players, and then used neural bridging technology to transfer them to the brains of highly malleable children. But that's not all......"
After Muteba's slightly dry voice, Bai Tangjing's hesitant voice sounded.
"Technology alone is not enough...... They still want experience? ”
"And character! The character who stabs a knife into the heart of his parents and sisters without blinking an eye. ”
That is to say...... After the neural bridge transmits the memory, then start the VR training in a special environment? ”
"Yes, the realistic environment of the Holocaust, these brains are the trainees. Whenever they kill, the machine shocks their pleasure nerves. Whenever they get tired and feel pity, the machine stimulates their punishment nerves......"
Muteba's face was not visible, but the trademark banter was heard on video.
The mockery in that laughter was more intense than at any time in his life.
"You know, White Hall. The human brain is domesticable, and the human character is moldable, isn't it? ”
Bai Tangjing nodded wordlessly.
Human, fragile and strong.
In the face of torture, the strong are able to step on the limits of their physiological tolerance and rub under their feet.
And the weak, even a fierce look can bring him to his knees.
But how many strong people are there in the world?
The young man held his chin on the back of his hand, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.
"Medical, munitions, goods, finance. The four most lucrative industries. But in this turbulent world, arms has one power that the other three can't do – it's power in itself! ”
"Whether you own it or sell it to others, arms are power!"
"Muteba, this base is just a side business for reselling children's organs, this is actually an arms manufacturing workshop, right?"
"Hmph." Muteba sneered twice.
"I just asked the think tank of Nichimoto that the global market in the field of private armed forces has increased sixty-six times in the past six months."
He didn't answer Bai Tangjing, but he seemed to have already given an answer.
"Highly prosthetic cyberwarriors, whether it's gimmicks or practicality, this is all full!"
“......”
Bai Tangjing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment.
"Let's talk about what else we've found."
When Muteba heard this, he turned the camera to himself again.
"It's neural bridging technology, and they're further exploring the potential of this technology in this test site."
"For example, using a large number of thoughts to hijack a prosthetic body that is not one's own, or even through the other party's prosthesis, it can reverse affect the other party's thinking."
"But it's all trifles."
Mutba controlled it on the camera, and after a moment of stuttering, it was supposed to be connected to another video.
A thin white lab coat that looks like it should be a research officer or something. In a low voice, he told a tall, sturdy reformer about the plight of the laboratory.
As the camera turns, a stout man in a suit shows only one back, saying.
"Difficult? Then don't do it. ”
"I just want the children's fresh, trained brains, and throw away all the other organs, and the children who don't have their brains removed are disposed of on the spot. Anyway, there are so many of these children that we can't even use them all. ”
"I can't even detect a drop of DNA, understand?"
Well-dressed, the words he spits out can make the hearts of birds and beasts chill.
The kind of decisiveness that compares human life with money and does not hesitate to choose profit......
It's like treating human life as a slice of bread!
He seems to be the one with the highest status among the three people who appear on camera.
The boy straightened himself in the plane seat.
It seems that this person is his own target?
Muteba's voiceover also sounded at the right time.
"It's just the back, but I recognize it - Steven Armstrong."
Sounds familiar.
Bai Tangjing raised his eyebrows, and the corresponding memories in Zhi's brain were quickly retrieved.
"This is your next goal? The 50,000 horses that are going to run for president? ”
"Tut-tut."
Without waiting for Mutba to respond, Bai Tangjing teased and smacked his tongue.
"I really treat the [Mercenary King] as a disposable! If it goes according to plan, it is estimated that you will be killed by him on the spot in full view of everyone, which will become a big gimmick for the campaign, right? ”
Now whether it is Bai Tangjing or Mutba, they will not believe that the other party is a guy with only 50,000 horses.
"Say whatever you want, Employer. Anyway, this base has been abolished by me, and I don't think you, who have found your target, will let that guy be safe, will you, right? ”
"That's right, goodbye. Mutba. ”
The video is off, and the teenager is still in his seat.
It seems to be reminiscing about the content of the conversation.
After a while, Bai Tangjing snapped his fingers.
The flight attendant of the United States girl only lasted two seconds, and stood beside her with courtesy and thoughtfulness.
But before she could speak.
"The plane had two peaks of electromagnetic waves during the time I was on the video call, once in those kids' brains and once when the name 'Steven Armstrong' appeared."
Bai Tangjing said in a calm and indifferent tone, and his eyes were not even on the eldest girl's body from beginning to end.
But the sweet, trained face of the United States girl froze in an instant.
"I, I think you must have misunderstood, the plane often ...... during the voyage"
"It doesn't matter, miss."
Bai Tangjing raised his eyelids.
"Your little gestures don't matter to me, I just ask for one thing. When I landed, either the Minister of Intelligence would appear in front of me, or that Armstrong would appear in front of me. ”
"Mr. Hakudo, we ......"
"Time is pressing, official business is busy, and every minute is closely related to the lives of the masses. However, Miss ......"
"But! Your duty is simply to pass on my requirements to the right people, right? ”
"As for the choice, that's the big guy's business."
"......" the big girl pursed her lips and looked gloomy, "I understand." ”
"Thank you for your cooperation."
~~~~~~
At the time of the communication, the plane had entered the airspace of the United States and was about to land.
"Therefore, the mental manipulation ability you encounter is most likely because their degree of prostheticization is too high, and they are forced to connect to a large number of neural bridging techniques, resulting in reverse control of the mind."
"Okay. It's still serious, but it's a relief. ”
The man on the other end of the phone let out a sigh of relief.
Although the limitations of mind manipulation techniques have been proven, people who do not have prosthetics on their bodies at this stage should be at no risk.
However, in this turbulent world, the prosthesis that can give people the power of self-preservation and more possibilities has swept the world and even become the standard of human beings, and the difference is only time.
It is to be expected that in the future, mental manipulation through prosthetics will remain a terrible problem serious enough to trigger a world war.
But at least, it's not too urgent right now.
"But you just said you were almost killed?"
Bai Tangjing's voice didn't seem to be worried through the phone, and his tone was still brisk.
But after hearing this, the son who got along with him day and night could clearly feel it......
His primary school brother is now very scary!
"It's dangerous, but it's all planned."
"This time, the two of us insisted on coming here in order to be able to slash the enemy...... Don't take it personally, mirror. ”
Tsuiko tried to make her voice easier, trying to calm Bai Tangjing's anger.
The boy's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about homely things.
"Well, I know. It's almost time to get off the plane here, and we'll talk about it later. ”
The phone was hung up, and the son looked at the blackened phone with a little sadness.
Sam, who had just grown his chest, looked puzzled.
"Isn't what he just said normal? Why do you have such an ugly expression? ”
"Normal?"
Tsuiko unconsciously buried her phone in her chest and sighed.
"Maybe he was in a normal mood when he first answered the phone. But at the end ......"
"I only hope now that the people of the United States will be able to understand the times."
"At least...... It doesn't cause a disaster. ”
Tsuiko's expectations were disappointed.
When the plane landed at the airport, everyone on the seemingly "civilian" passenger plane did not move.
Sitting in the first-class cabin, the white hall mirror looks out through the porthole of the plane.
There was a grand welcoming procession, officials, entrepreneurs, media......
However, there was neither the intelligence chief who spoke to him via video, nor Steven Armstrong.
The boy's expression did not change in the slightest.
He got up normally and walked to the hatch.
"Let me confirm again, miss."
Walking to the hatch, the sweetheart girl had already opened the hatch and stood there with a courteous smile.
Bai Tangjing looked at her.
"Are you really, really, communicating my request?"
"Yes sir, but today's emergency is serious, and our intelligence adjutant is waiting for you below."
Bai Tangjing didn't say anything, just chuckled meaningfully and stepped off the plane.
A large group of officials and media stood on both sides in an orderly manner to welcome them.
The teenagers shook hands with the officers lined up one by one, smiling kindly and gently.
The media cameras were eager to slap him in the face.
That feeling of unscrupulousness, it seems that he doesn't care at all that the man in front of him can lift the entire airport with a little force.
Until Bai Tangjing came to the last person in the queue.
He's the intelligence adjutant.
The white old man stretched out his hand to Bai Tangjing with a smile, and Bai Tangjing also grasped it.
"Welcome to the United States, Mr. Whitehouse."
After speaking, they should have stopped.
But the old white man found that his hand seemed to be caught in iron tongs, and he could not move at all.
The cheers around him grew low and eventually died down. The two men held hands together for too long, and neither of them spoke.
Now everyone sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The old white man looked up in astonishment and looked at the young man's gentle smile.
Bai Tangjing raised his eyebrows instead, and asked at the white old man's puzzled expression.
"What? You don't think I'm the kind of person who cares about the media, do you? ”
"Boom!"
The invisible weight pressed down from the top of the old man's head, creating a flesh hole on the ground of the airport on the spot!
Because the old man's arm was still held with Bai Tangjing, his elbow joint seemed to be cut off by a sharp blade.
Instead, it still kept its shape, dangling in the hands of the white hall mirror.
The scene experienced seconds as if time had stopped.
In the dead silence, the panic index in the air is soaring.
Eventually...... "Ahh
! ”
The many pick-up people, who were originally dressed well, are now screaming like turkeys held by the neck.
Scattered and fled.
But Bai Tangjing walked up to the penultimate person who had shaken hands with him just now.
They're all pinned to the spot now.
