Chapter 4 Escape from Danger
In the basement, it is dim, only a few broken light bulbs will flicker twice from time to time, quite a horror movie atmosphere, as if the next moment a cyber maniac will come out of the darkness and cut off your head as his own trophies.
Alan started unhurriedly, the night vision mode of the prosthetic eye, and muttered in his heart, "Jason, where are you?" ”
Soon Alan cautiously came to the side of an iron door, and there was a conversation inside; Alan didn't dare to alarm them, so he listened quietly.
"This kid looks like he should be from the Valentino Gang, he's so bold that he dares to run around in the yard of our Sixth Street Gang."
"It's okay, when we sell him to the scavengers at the black market hospital, they'll take care of this guy for us."
"By the way, how much do you think this kid can be worth?"
"I don't know, but it's worth a pack of cigarettes, hahahaha!"
After listening to their conversation, Alan couldn't help frowning tightly and scolded secretly: "This group of scum actually plans to sell Jason to the scavengers who cut their kidneys." ”
The scavengers are a group of ruthless, vile and shameless scum who specialize in hunting careless law-abiding citizens and gang minions. They are the tragic product of the misuse of. The business of collecting cyber components and prosthetics to sell is not very elegant...... But definitely making money, the scavengers enrich their stocks by assaulting their victims. These guys are extremely vicious and treat human life like a mustard. To them, humans are just a bunch of things that can be exchanged for money on the black market.
Attack first, then kidnap, take your life, dismantle it for money - one trick is eaten all over the world. The "donors" who fall into their hands often disappear forever, and they don't waste any bits and pieces on them. Cyber components and organs that can be taken apart and sold for money are taken directly to the black market, and the rest of the unseen offalis is either disposed of wholesale, burned, or thrown out to feed to mice.
They are a major supplier of low-end illegal cyber components, and they supply other gangs, criminal gangs, and underground doctor groups. They are also often hired to do dirty jobs that no one wants to do: small robberies that don't make much money, fights, or banging on people's sticks...... As soon as the money is slapped on the table, the scavenger immediately sets off, nothing more than that.
There is no fixed "scope of business" for scavengers. Their organizations are spread all over the city, often brushing their presence with markers and graffiti. Due to their scattered organization, scavengers tend to assemble into small gangs, without any distinction between the old and the inferior, and are often led by the most unscrupulous, savage, and cunning of them. Despite their lack of organization, no one should ignore or take the existence of the scavenger community lightly. Their only capital is a reputation for terror, and they will make sure that everyone who dares to run into them or grab them alive is "flesh and blood".
Alan probed slightly, and scanned the situation in the room with his prosthetic eye, but there were only two people, and the only thing that was a little troublesome was that there was a person facing the door, and it was difficult for Alan to find an opportunity to raid them without being detected.
"Let's try targeting." With the help of the prosthetic chip, Alan scanned the entire room for electronics, and the only thing he could use was the radio behind him.
The radio of "Zizizi----Zizizi---Zizi-Didi————" seemed to be convulsed, and made a cacophony of noise, which immediately attracted the attention of the two men.
", this broken machine, give Lao Tzu another pump, and when this kid is sold, Lao Tzu will throw you away and replace it with a new one." The man scolded and walked over to the radio and began to fiddle with it, taking advantage of the fact that both of them were pointed at Alan, Ailan unknowingly, slipped behind the person closest to him, picked up a kinetic pistol on the table, and directly performed a craniotomy on the back of his head.
Alan said coldly, "Die, scum. ”
Rumble! A bullet pierced the man's brain with precision, and the brain splattered all over the ground. Alan was about to give another shot as well, but by coincidence, he actually got stuck. ", don't give me a chain at a critical time!" Just when Ailan was worried, the man had already reacted, took out the pistol on his waist, and shot at Ailan, it is estimated that he was also panicked, and he didn't hit a single shot.
Ailan saw that it was too late, so he decisively gave up the idea of using a gun, and directly hacked in the chip, and the electromagnetic short circuit.
The man's arm seemed to be uncontrollable, sparks kept coming out, and there were bursts of electric current, and Alan did not hesitate, taking advantage of the moment when he couldn't move, an arrow stepped forward, trying to snatch the gun in the other party's hand, but due to the impact of electromagnetic short circuit, the gun was held tightly in his hand, and he couldn't break it. The two were at a stalemate, and the effect of electromagnetic hacking was soon over, and Alan didn't have time to think, so he slowly turned his gun in front of the man.
Rumble! At the end of the hack, Alan pressed the trigger for him, and the bullet passed through his mouth, and a pool of blood splattered onto the wall behind him, and the smoke from the muzzle of the gun slowly spread out of the mouth of the dead man, as if he had smoked the last cigarette in his life.
Alan snapped and sat down on the ground, as if all his strength had been exhausted in the short minute just now. He sat on the ground gasping for air, "Fuck, that's fucking, what about Jason?" How is he? ”
Alan didn't have time to catch his breath, so he immediately got up and got up, rushed to the side of the restraint chair, and scanned Jason with his prosthetic eye, and the system showed that Jason was alive and well, but he inhaled some narcotic gas, and just fell asleep, and it seemed that he could only wait for him to wake up and ask what happened.
"But it's not long to be here, and after a while, the scavengers should come to pick up the goods, and if you don't run, it's really a buy one get one free, but think about it carefully, my value is not more expensive than Jason's, and I actually became the one who gave one away." Alan reluctantly smiled wryly from the corner of his mouth.
After about an hour, Alan fled to a remote residential house with Jason on his back, which was sparsely populated and remote, and should not be discovered.
Alan gently placed Jason on the ground next to the wall, and leaned over himself.
"I can finally catch my breath, and when this kid wakes up, if he doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll pack him up and send him to the scavenger."
"However, this kind of face-to-face battle is really a challenge for a frail network hacker like me, and it seems that it is necessary to go back and upgrade the chip plug-in of the electromagnetic short circuit, and it is best to directly make people explode."
Syllable.
"Huh? What is it? A red chip fell out of Jason's pocket, which caught Alan's attention, he took it in his hand and studied it carefully, and just as he was about to take a closer look at the contents of the chip, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room, and it was probably only one person.
Alan gathered the chips and carefully observed the surroundings, before knowing whether this person was friend or foe, it was better not to show up first.
