Hackers are one of the most mysterious people in Liberty City.

Its mystery is even more than extraordinary in the eyes of many ordinary people in Liberty City.

Otherworldly events are no secret in this day and age.

Many people have heard the roars of those monsters in the dark night.

Seen shadow creatures that roam in the dark.

And some lawbreakers will even shoot some ordinary people confronting those terrifying evil things.

After seeing more, people naturally don't have much mystery about those so-called transcendent events.

On the contrary, few people actually see how those hackers break the firewalls of major enterprises and steal databases.

When people learn the name of a hacker, they often learn from a frustrated wanted announcement by a large corporation.

Many secrets that can't see the light of day are exposed by those hackers.

They're like a lone ranger on the internet.

It is the lone brave who still dares to challenge authority in this chaotic era.

The various descriptions of them are full of fantastical words.

The plutocracy of Liberty City hates the hackers as a group, but they can't do anything about it.

At the beginning, human civilization went to the stars and built colonies across the galaxy.

We have entered the most glorious moment since the evolution of mankind.

At this time, the Age of Eternal Night came without warning.

Subspace storms continue to erupt.

Traveling faster than light becomes extremely dangerous.

Human civilization, which is glorious to the extreme, is in trouble.

At that time, humans wanted to use AI without a mind to fight against Eternal Night, so most of the restrictions on artificial intelligence were lifted.

Unexpectedly, this move led to an AI rebellion.

The troubled human civilization completely collapsed, and the huge social system collapsed in a very short time.

In order to stop the AI rebellion.

The humans of yesteryear have built the Black Wall Protocol.

Isolated those malicious AI.

Civilization decays, and the Void becomes dangerous.

Any ships that rushed in were not heard from.

The major chaebols were forced to return to the planet.

In order to survive the long Eternal Night Age, those top forces have competed for the resources of this planet.

In order to control the major cities, they use a variety of sophisticated weapons, including cyber viruses to wage war.

The war was quickly mediated through the efforts of people of insight.

Different cities and industries on this planet are divided like cakes, and they belong to different companies.

The war subsided though.

The network virus that can be dropped has made the already bad Internet space even worse, and the cause of corruption is the same.

By now, most of humanity's cyberspace has been shut down.

Regions, cities, and even buildings use subnets that are independent of each other and have only weakly connected subnets.

There is no way to create a unified large network.

Those giant enterprises and chaebols will not be able to crush those stragglers with their computing power.

The buildings and factories left over from the glorious era are generally highly intelligent.

In addition, in order to adapt to the increasingly harsh environment, the implantation of mechanical prostheses is widely carried out.

Fragmented networks and flooded intelligence give hackers room to survive.

All mechanical prosthetics need to be controlled by smart chips.

The sale of mechanical prosthetics is part of the company's performance.

The other part comes from the later maintenance and upkeep.

In order to ensure that customers will come to their own maintenance, most mechanical prostheses need to be activated by the Internet before they can be used.

However, the fees charged by businesses are expensive.

Some people who don't have money, or use second-hand goods, can only find a way to crack it.

The sinking market formed by poor ghosts who don't have much money has nourished the group of hackers.

Under the influence of a variety of factors, the hackers in Liberty City have naturally been banned repeatedly.

This year, although Qin Zheng and David were doing work that couldn't be on the table.

But they mingled in the major bars in the San Ann district, and they still accumulated a little contact.

They quickly selected the hackers they were going to recruit.

That's Batmos, who provided Victor with prosthetic cracking services.

Bartmoss is a tech hacker.

He sells all kinds of decoding equipment and makes a living by cracking the code of mechanical prosthetics.

Qin Zheng and David had contact with each other several times.

The main thing is to help Victor get the goods.

When he first went, Bartmoss didn't know them.

That guy hacked directly into David's prosthetic chip remotely.

Almost didn't let David kill himself.

It was through that incident that Qin Zheng and David agreed that Bartmoss was a very capable hacker.

Bartmos lives in the most chaotic Paz neighborhood in St. Ann's.

The Perth neighborhood is close to the Drew district.

The two are separated by only a tall wall.

Walk late at night in the dim streets and alleys of the Perth neighborhood.

You can even see those horrible ghosts and indescribable things.

Qin Zheng and David had just entered the Paz neighborhood.

I heard the sound of gunfire coming from the other side of the wall.

Faintly terrifying roars can be heard.

Humans are still living in the Drew.

But it's more about things that are no longer human.

Some of those who entered the Drew Quarter recounted what was going on inside.

The Drew District is no longer part of their world.

Step out of the wall and into the Drew district, and you step into another world.

A world that no longer follows the rules of physics and is full of weirdness and horror.

When people in the Drew District look up, they will see the sky rolling with a sea of blood.

The scarlet sun and moon hung in the sky.

Huge eyes and tentacles like mountains loom in the sea of blood.

Strange whispers came from the strange halls.

Abandoned buildings are covered in flesh and blood.

Those who died and rose again wandered among them.

There are also all kinds of terrifying monsters lurking in it.

The role of the wall is to act as a barrier between reality and illusion.

It prevents those things from approaching St. Ann's and stops the spread of corruption.

If the corruption gets out of control, it is likely to lead to the complete fall of Freetown, which has a diameter of thousands of kilometers and an area larger than any country in the industrial period.

After the failure of the campaign to capture the Drew, many residents moved out of the Perth neighborhood.

The Perth neighborhood is particularly shabby.

The buildings were left untended and showed signs of decay and decay.

All sorts of crazy, twisted graffiti can be seen everywhere.

Only crazed gang members, cyberpsychos, or cult members live here.

"When the apocalypse comes, all living beings will die."

"I saw the end of the world, and the gods whispered in my ear."

"Death will be the end of everyone."

Various horror slogans are painted on the walls with red spray paint or some special liquid.

It makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

After Bai Qi entered the Paz neighborhood, he looked a little uneasy.

He was always nervously looking at those dark corners.

I'm afraid that the people of the Beast Gang will suddenly rush out of those places.

He knew very well what would happen to a defector like himself if he was caught.

The madmen would have stripped off his skin intact while he was alive, and cut off his flesh piece by piece, and fed it to the hungry slaves.

Qin Zheng sensed the fear in Bai Qi's heart.

"Don't worry, you're part of the team now. Those people will have to step over our corpses if they want to catch you. ”

"Who dares to bully my brother. I'll shoot them all in one shot. ”

David also took out his plasma pistol and gestured.

Bai Qi smiled.

The look of horror on his face subsided quite a bit.

Qin Zheng stopped in front of a charred house sprayed with various profane symbols and slogans.

The three of them had just gotten out of the car and were just about to walk towards the house.

The buzzing sound suddenly sounded.

Three oval-spherical drones the size of watermelons flew out from a platform on the roof.

Hovering in the air at high speed.

The light of the scan shrouded over the bodies of the three men.

The laser gun on the bottom of the drone locks onto the position of the three people.

The slightest movement will turn them into steaming sieves.

With his spiritual sense, Qin Zheng saw that in addition to drones, there were also almost invisible mechanical flying insects in the air, vibrating the wings of the machine at high speed.

The mechanical flying insects had a sharp spike on their heads, the size of a little finger.

When flying at high speeds, it is difficult to catch their presence.

Once they get their hands dirty, these little guys can definitely kill people invisibly.

"You've trespassed into private territory, fools, get out of the way if you don't want to die."

Impatient voices came from the megaphone.

"Bartmoss, it's us, Qin Zheng and David, we're here to find you."

A drone hovered in front of Qin Zheng.

The scanning light fell on him.

Moments later, the door opened.

Dressed in a sloppy manner, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, Buttermos walked out.

He looked skinny, skinny and bony, with bulging eyes that looked like a ghoul.

The clothes on my body have been clumped, and I don't know how long I haven't washed them.

Several mechanical insects and a drone flew back to Buttermoss, hovering around him as if to protect him.

"Did Victor ask you to come? What does he want this time? ”

"No, we're looking for you this time."

Bartmoss looked at the three of them.

"What do you want? First of all, I never take credit. ”

"We don't want goods, but we want you to join my team."

Hearing this, Bartmoss showed a sarcastic expression.

A mechanical flying insect swished, slashed through the air, and finally stopped in front of Qin Zheng's eyes.

The spike was less than a centimeter away from his eye.

At the speed of a mechanical flying insect, it only takes less than a millisecond to pierce through his eyes and out of the back of his head.

"Fuck off, I've seen too many idiots like you. You want to recruit me, next life. If you don't want to die, get out of the way. ”

"Aren't you going to hear what my team does and decide if you want to join?"

Qin Zheng did not speak.

His voice rang out in Bartmoss's head.

"Psykers? Being able to communicate in the mind is an ability that is only available at least level five. Which force are you from? ”

Bartmoss looked at Qin Zheng with a hint of disgust.

"Neither, I'm just a mercenary."

Qin Zheng raised his two hands to show that he had no malicious intent.

"How can a mercenary possess such a stable high-level psionic power?"

There was a hint of suspicion in Bartmoss's eyes.

Qin Zheng used his telepathic ability to transmit his purpose and the fact that he was being hunted down by the Rose family to Buttermoss's mind.

It's much faster and more convenient than speaking it.

"It's strange that there is a person in St. Ann's who dares to rebel against those super families."

Bartmoss looked up the information.

found that what Qin Zheng said could basically correspond.

Does this guy really plan to form a team to fight against the Ross family??

"My team needs a hacker, Bart Moss. I know you hate those chaebol families, so I want to invite you. Don't you want to get revenge on those guys? ”

Qin Zheng once again extended an invitation to Bartmoss.
