Volume 1: The Coming Shock Chapter 22: The Little Train

After an unknown amount of time, the flames scorched Tyris's skin, and the sharp pain slowly woke him up from his coma. He lifted his head, heavy as lead, and found himself in a corner by the exit of District 10.

The blast blew him a full thirty meters away, leaving a humanoid depression in the wall behind him, his backpack and his clothes shattered, and parts scattered all over the ground.

His whole body was covered with lacerations, and through the charred muscles, he could clearly see the bloody bones, and the whole person was paralyzed as mud, unable to move.

At this time, the gate of the tenth district had been opened, dozens of fire trucks of various models arrived at the scene, and a man in a suit with braided hair stood more than ten meters away from the fire truck, raising his hand and pointing.

Columns of water erupted from all directions, mixing smoke and water vapor to distort the scene. The screams of the wounded overlapped with the roar of the machines, and no one noticed Tyrese's presence.

After a little sense, Tyrese laboriously moved his body behind the upturned stone slab, quietly closed his eyes, covered his chest with his left hand reverently, and said something in his mouth, his chest began to reveal a faint purple light, and the halo gently lifted him, showing a suspended state.

The purple halo changed into countless tiny spots of light, starting from the chest and gradually moving towards the whole body, the areas swept by the spots, the burning wounds and torn bones, were healing at an alarming rate.

The whole process lasted less than a minute, and by the time the purple light faded and Tyrese's body touched the ground again, he was barely able to move.

The firefighters began to advance in his direction, and before they could fully recover, he chose a few accessories specially ordered by Munch, held them in his arms, and under the cover of the fire and ruins, took advantage of the chaos and hurriedly escaped from the tenth arrondissement. In the corner, a visible stain of blood was left behind.

After the fire was extinguished, Paul, who was inspecting the scene, stopped at the human-shaped depression on the separation wall, looked at the remaining blood on the ground, showed a puzzled look on his face, squatted down, dipped a little blood with his fingers, and put it in his mouth, his pupils instantly dilated, showing an excited look. He immediately beckoned, motioned for the blood to be taken away for testing, and left a sentence in the ear of the henchman: "All the wounded and the corpses will be dealt with together, and no one will be left alive." ”

The transport truck was loaded with the bodies of the victims of the accident, and when he arrived at the incineration pit, the fingers of the scar man moved slightly.

……

"Well, this bag and the clothes I wear now are still from the dump when I was a kid, where you rushed to save me. Don't be disgusted. Everything is here, you see. As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the black backpack on the side, opened the zipper, and handed it over.

Looking into Tyrese's sincere eyes, Munch couldn't say anything, as if he saw the little boy who rushed to the trash can desperately, only this time, their identities were reversed.

Munch took the bag and took a general look, liquid suspension centrifugal propulsion pump! Nano same frequency dynamic tracker! Although the energy reactor was not found, two of the three key components were solved, which was already a great help.

"The energy reactor you mentioned, I really didn't find it, I'll ask my friends to think of a way, I have a lot of contacts in the Cyber Center." Tyrese was even a little embarrassed, feeling that he hadn't fulfilled his promise to Munch.

"You've done enough for me!" Thinking that these things were bought by Tyrese at the risk of his life, Munch could not express any other emotions except gratitude.

"I have to go back to the Cyber Center right away. There was such a big change last night, and if you find out that I'm gone, a lot of things will be difficult to explain. Tyrese picked Bane up and spun around twice before putting him down.

"According to you, the casualties must be more than just the news figures, right?" Munch had been wanting to ask this question just now.

"There is a world of difference. You have to believe that what is reported is always a man-made fact. ”

Munch didn't ask any more questions.

Before leaving, Tyrese said solemnly, "I don't care what you're doing, please be careful, last night's attack shows that something big is about to happen in the Upper Domain, don't be like a child, just know how to study your mechanical modifications all day long, and leave yourself a way back." ”

Munch has never been very sensitive to things other than mechanical transformation, and he doesn't seem to understand what Tyrese says, he only knows that the person in front of him will not harm him.

Sending Tyrese away, Munch retrieved the accessories from his bag and placed them on the workbench in the secret room. Bobo operates the robotic arm to adjust and organize the foundation.

"What did Tyrese mean by leaving more way out for himself? Where is my back road? Munch leaned back in his chair, savoring Tyrese's words, and had no clue.

"I don't know much about your human world, I only know that I have no way back, and from the day I was born, serving you and protecting you is my only way." In order to echo the term "back road", Bobo uses the expression "only path".

"Let's not worry about the ethereal things like the back road, we are now facing some more specific problems." Bobo's voice was full of alertness.

Munch sat up, slid his chair, and made his way to the workbench. "What's going on?"

"Just now I scanned these accessories and found that all the accessories were outputting weak signals to the outside world. It could be location information, or it could be a self-detonating device. ”

"These things have been tampered with?"

"Do you trust Tyrese?" Bobo asked solemnly, the code's eyes firmly fixed on Munch's face.

"Of course, 100% trust. Didn't you see what he looked like just now? He brought these things back from the brink of death, and I have no reason to doubt him. ”

"Then there's only one possibility." Bobo's eyes blinked, and the question mark of the code floated around the workbench before turning into fireworks and exploding.

"This is for some kind of ulterior action. Various devices are marked with special chips, and weapons are formed at a specific time to carry out lethal operations, and after the end of the operation, all weapons, along with the person carrying the weapon, are destroyed...... The chip is very hidden and difficult to detect with ordinary scanners. When Bobo was thinking, it became a book that kept turning pages.

"So it has something to do with last night's explosion."

"Perhaps. It may be that last night's explosion affected the chip inside the device, and I detected that the signal sent to the outside was relatively weak, and the strong shielding effect of the secret room should not have caused the spread of the signal. Just ......"

"It's just that before reaching the secret room, I don't know how long Tyrese has been in the other room, and I don't know who the receiver behind this signal is, if it's really a self-destruction program, what should we do now?"

Hearing the self-detonation procedure, Bane hid under the bed, shrunk his body into one, and trembled slightly.

"I just tried to eliminate the chip's boot program, but it failed. The way he designed it is not in the database that I can query. I can show you the chip, though. ”

During the conversation, Bobo transformed the parts under the robotic arm into three-dimensional images through detailed visual modeling, and there was a small red square at the core, which was constantly transmitting ripples symbolizing the signal outward.

"What's the use of this model? Let's watch it explode more clearly? Munch smiled wryly.

There was no word for each other, only silence.

"Didi", Munch's arm implant received an anonymous message, the sender and the address are unknown. Munch motioned Bobo to follow it quickly, and then opened the message details, which was only a short sentence, which read as follows:

"I can help you unlock the secret of your memory card."

Of course, Bobo failed to track down again, and the person who can send this kind of information will not easily reveal his true identity.

Before Munch could react, a deliberately modified mechanical voice sounded in the space of the secret room: "Hello Munch, I have no ill intentions, I just want to help my friend, Beverly Andrew, you will definitely be familiar with this name." ”

"He deprived the chamber of sound system, whether to reset control." Bobo asked.

"Wait, let's see what he wants." Beverly's name has already aroused Munch's great interest.

"My name is Thomas Geller, and that's my name as a hacker. Because I like Thomas the Train the most......"

???

Munch had a question mark on his face, and the deep mechanical sound was associated with Thomas's little train, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

"Can you get to the point?" Munch suppressed his emotions.

"Okay, Beverley is my best friend, and I've been looking for clues since he went missing. A few days ago, you tried to hack his memory card. After that failed, the coordinate information was activated, and I found it. I'm sure you already know how unique his encryption method is, and he only told me how to unlock the password. Any idea what this is? ”

Without waiting for Munch to reply, Thomas proudly said, "This is a symbol of our friendship." ”

???

Munch once again had a question mark face, listening to this Thomas's choice of words and sentences, there was an indescribable childish feeling, if he hadn't easily hacked into the sound system of the secret room, I really wanted him to get out of the way immediately.

"How can I trust you? Mr. Little Train. ”

"It's Thomas, but it's okay to call it a little train. It's simple, you wait. ”

The thick mechanical sound was gone, and only the sound of the mechanical arm moving left and right could be heard in the chamber. On the screen wall next to the window, the original picture at the entrance of the City Security Bureau has become a small moving train, starting from the center of the screen, moving in a spiral to all directions, and the smoke coming out of the locomotive completely obscures the entire front of the screen.

Taken aback, Munch asked Bobo to quickly regain control of the equipment, and ran to the workbench himself, trying to switch to the manual control program, but without success.

"Don't worry, just wait a while, I promise not to destroy anything of you." Thomas laughed, directing the train to pit smoke on all the screens in Munch's secret room, and finally even mobilized the imaging device on the ceiling to transform the train into a three-dimensional information model.

Munch sat helplessly in his chair, watching this bizarre performance, and Bane, who was hiding under the bed, ran out wagging his tail, chasing the train, jumping up and down.

The train had no intention of stopping, and slowly circled around the model of parts generated by Bobo. The robotic arm next to it was also called by Thomas, and in the white smoke that was spewed out, it operated uncontrollably.

As the train whistle sounded, all the scenes disappeared simultaneously, and the chamber returned to its previous appearance.

"So what? How can I trust you? Just because you hacked into my system and drove a small train all over the screen? After watching the farce just now, Munch was in an irritable mood.

"I'll give you a welcome gift, and when you're ready, contact me. Finally, your firewall is too bad, and there will be a chance to help you upgrade it later. With that, Thomas's voice disappeared completely from the secret room.

Munch looked at the workbench, under the robotic arm, in the three-dimensional model just now, several small red squares were neatly arranged in a row at this time.

The chip was lifted like this?
