Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 333 Chapter 330 The Puppet

10 minutes later, a convoy of seven vehicles drove into the venue of the Grand Exposition, protected by armored vehicles at the front and rear.At this time, not only the roads and parking lots along the way, but also the inside and outside of the main exhibition hall, the surrounding commanding heights and all intersections are under the control of personnel from the business development department and internal security department of the four major companies.The original security guards, regardless of whether they were from the expo venue or professional police officers from the PCPD, had to obey the orders of the company's security guards first, and obediently stayed at the designated place and could not move.

There was a lot of discussion in the venue, and there were all kinds of guesses. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction while waiting to watch the fun with great anticipation.Finally, the radio sounded, and the announcer’s voice was trembling with excitement. She announced: Ms. Rorick, the vice president of the Scarlet Group and the chairman of the Technical Dispatch Center, brought the latest “God’s Execution Puppet Ia” to the expo.She will exhibit this "new artifact" and give a keynote speech entitled "New Era, New Order, New Beginning".

This broadcast was not only sent through loudspeakers in the venue of the Grand Expo, but also spread in the controlled information network.Zhuang Xuteng was in the car, the car's radio turned on by itself, and then broadcast the broadcast simultaneously.He tried to tune the station, but the content of the radio was the same on all bands, the only difference was whether the signal sound was clear or not.

"There's a woman here, and there's an exhibit here. As for making such a fuss?" Zhuang Xuteng sighed, and then asked, "Are the vice president and the chairman of the Technical Dispatch Center very important?"

"Well... I don't know, I feel that the vice president is definitely not as powerful as the president, isn't that true?" Ge Gongdao thought about it carefully, and said: "Generally speaking, when it comes to the four major companies, the ones that appear most often in the news are local executives. A director, or a spokesperson. I don’t seem to have seen a vice president and above being mentioned, and I don’t know how many vice presidents there are.”

Nightingale and Chaffinch hang out in the information network all day long, and they know more. "Although she has an adverb, she is already at the top of power. I heard a rumor that as long as two vice presidents of a company think that a company war should be started, a company war will start. From this perspective , The power this woman wields is terrifying."

Half the right to declare war? 50% of the power to drag the world into the flames of war... It's really scary when you think about it.

"Brother Dao is right. The top executives of the four strongest companies are rarely mentioned in the news. They only know that their internal structures are different. Generally, the people who appear on the scene are the heads of the company in various cities, and the company must still be in charge. With the headquarters and the center, there is the core of the company. Generally speaking, the managers at the core of the headquarters only need to face the inside of the company, and rarely show their faces outside."

Zhuang Xuteng pinched his nose and said, "Looking at the ostentation of her travels, she needs the protection of the tough guys from the business development department along the way, so it's really not appropriate to come out often. Hey, what do you think is the god who executes the puppet Ia?"

"I only understand the four characters of execution puppet, and I can guess that Ia is the name, and that god, probably used to describe how strong the execution puppet is?" Ge Gongdao shrugged and said, "Since the god left, , the word god is used even less, especially when used to describe ability. It is also used in boxing fights like 'he is like a god of war'. Tianshen, was it used to refer to the god of light in the past ?”

"The gods refer to the four gods who set up the Kingdom of God in the sky. They are..." Zhuang Xuteng thought about it for a while, and felt that this knowledge was too unpopular, so he shook his head and changed his words: "They are all gone, and it is too late to mention their names again." It doesn’t make sense. The Divine Kingdom of the God of Light is between the rays of light, not in the sky of the material world as we think. The gods are actually four middle-level gods, subordinates of the Lord God of Light.”

"Where did you get this knowledge?" Ge Gongdao was very surprised.

"Someone sent me the historical research of my own god, so I read it as a story and remembered the content."

The so-called research on the history of gods is the bound book Morgana gave him about the history of temples, gods and magic. Zhuang Xuteng often reads it to learn from necromancy and learn more about Morgana's thoughts source.When they were together, Zhuang Xuteng could also understand some of the allusions and special terms used by Morgana, and he could pop out a word or two from time to time, which made their communication smoother and more comfortable.

"Your hobbies are quite unpopular." Nightingale and Rock Sparrow didn't know Morgana, so they said this. "Are you interested in the execution of the puppet by the god? Since no one is going to attack here, why don't we get out of the car and have a look?"

"Why join in the fun?" Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "There must be a large number of security personnel around the vice president. We are just shameless little mercenaries who have implants, and may have killed people. The business of the company People from the development department must have stopped us and prevented us from getting close to that important vice president. Huh, maybe we don’t need people from the company at all, PCPD stopped us.”

"Yes, let's not make fun of ourselves." Ge Gongdao lay down on his seat and said, "Anyway, watching a real person is the same as watching TV. If an important person appears in Peicheng, there will definitely be one in the news."

"Hey, don't wait for the news, you guys watch the big screen outside the venue." Rock Sparrow patted his sister and Zhuang Xuteng, and pointed out the car window. "That should be a live broadcast, right?"

The side of the expo's five-story building faces the highway, where a projection screen the size of a basketball court is used for advertising most of the time.The parking lot where Zhuang Xuteng and the others were located was on the side of the big screen. Several people got out of the car and sat on the roof, so they could watch the screen at a 45-degree angle.The only problem: it's just the screen, no sound.

"The sound is on the radio. I found the frequency for simultaneous interpretation." Nightingale patted her forehead, cleared her throat, and said, "It feels like the sound is faster than the projected image. I'll write it down and adjust the synchronization for you."

"Thank you." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile.At this time, a reporter popped up in the center of the screen, and he began to explain the situation at the venue.

"This person talks a lot of nonsense, let me give you a general introduction..." Nightingale frowned slightly, and should be sorting out and refining the content of the speech. "He probably said that Ms. Rorick is very welcome, and it is not easy to meet her. Ms. Rorick is mainly responsible for the direction of technological progress in the Scarlet Group, and the execution of the puppet is a major achievement achieved under her direct leadership."

The reporter talked endlessly in front of the camera, and from his eyes, these endless flattery were rolling on the teleprompter in front of him, and he just had to read it accordingly.Zhuang Xuteng paid more attention to the changes in the venue behind the reporters, especially the company security guards who entered the venue and launched a defensive formation before Rorick officially stepped onto the stage.

Some of them are big and strong, probably full of implants, and some people look slim and fit, not much different from the normal body shape, I don't know what they use.Fortunately, the rock sparrow conducted a science popularization for the two companions: the thinner-looking person is likely to be a shadow spell user.They will not install implants that enhance physical attributes, but more maintenance-type shadow equipment to help them share the side effects caused by shadow spells.Of course, those people may also be intelligence spies, and the implants are concentrated in the brain, so they cannot be seen at the muscle level.

After a while, Ms. Rorick appeared in the camera, and while receiving warm applause from the crowd, she calmly walked to the podium.She looks well maintained, with exquisite makeup and clothing. It is obvious that the senior managers have always looked like a suit, long skirt and high heels, but in some details, it clearly gives people a more elegant, noble and meticulous feeling.In her attire, a golden hairpin with three strings of pearls is eye-catching.The three strings of crystal clear and round pearls swayed slightly as she walked, and the halos flowed, as if drawing a pearly white trajectory in the air.

She looks about 50 to 50 years old, with fair skin, blue-green pupils, and black hair.There are several thin lines with illusory light on her face, gathering from the corners of the eyes, nose, and mouth to the roots of the ears, and there is also a vertical illusory thin line in the middle of her forehead.These are the marks left by the implant, but it is not certain what implant she used.Since the face is an implant, the age she showed is not credible, and at the age of [-], she became the vice president who has the right to declare war in half of the world, which seems a little younger.

Not far behind Rorick, followed by four strong staff members, their body shape was similar to that of Ge Gongdao, the tall, wide and strong type.These four people were carrying a metal box on each of the four corners. The box was half the size of a shipping container and looked heavy.After the box was lifted up, four men set it up.Then, a big guy more than three meters high and two meters long and wide appeared on the stage.

"It's a pleasure to come to the Great Expo, and it's a pleasure to meet everyone..." Ms. Rorick smiled, and then began to speak.She first used 400 words to compliment the importance of the Great Expo, [-] words to express her gratitude to the Peicheng government for its dedication to organizing work, [-] words to bless the participants present, and then used more than [-] words to describe the scarlet Why and how the group developed the executive puppet.

"Executive puppets can replace humans to perform dangerous and heavy work, which will greatly liberate human resources. A trained manipulator can completely control thirty to one hundred execution puppets at the same time, and he only needs to deal with some accidents and emergencies Just the situation. In the future, there will be no more hard work, no more physical abuse, and the lowest working state of human beings will be a supervisor, and this is the goal pursued by the Scarlet Group!"

The staff opened the container and showed the contents: the execution of the gods and the puppet Ia.It was a naked human figure squatting on a metal platform with more than 30 tubes inserted into his body. When he stood up, everyone was surprised to see that his chest and abdomen were empty, without any organs, and the cloth could be seen directly. Full of shadows from the spine and ribs of the device.

It was a big guy with a height of nearly three meters. Except for the chest and abdomen, the other parts looked similar to normal humans.Oh, by the way, his head is completely covered by a metal mask, only the observation windows like sunglasses are placed in the eyes, and this metal mask is connected with the video equipment on his neck and shoulders as a whole, it seems that it cannot be dismantled down.In terms of body size, he is taller and stronger than Ge Gongdao, and only the orangutan of the Wild Monkey Gang-orangutan can't, it must be King Kong-can compare with him.But its chest and abdomen have no internal organs, and its completely hollow design is reminiscent of an exoskeleton.

"The side effects of the shadow follower implant have not yet been resolved, and the fragile human body cannot fully exert the power of the shadow follower, but a puppet that will not be affected by the side effects can definitely become our best helper." Ms. Rorick pointed The god executes the puppet and said: "The god executes the puppet completely composed of shadow equipment, 70.00% of which are implants. It can be commanded by remote control, and it can also execute preset orders. Its combat ability is roughly equivalent to the last company war A regular army during the period. We have calculated that it can completely wipe out a regular army in any combat scenario by virtue of its flexibility, persistence and excellent tactical use."

Ms. Rorick said with a smile at the corner of her mouth, "In this sense, we have eliminated the side effects of war, and there is no need to sacrifice precious human lives for it."

The audience applauded thunderously, and compared with the enthusiastic palm movements, the expressions on the faces of the people were more interesting.Curiosity, suspicion, and panic appeared on everyone's face in turn, and everyone's eyes were more focused on the god's executive puppet than Vice President Rorick.

"That thing can hit a regular army, isn't it one that can hit 6 or 6 people? Impossible..." Ge Gongdao frowned and shook his head vigorously. There are exoskeletons, chariots, airplanes, cannons...these things can kill a few people with a sneak attack, so it won't be able to kill [-] to [-] people, right?"

Zhuang Xuteng didn't know how the scarlet group did the test, so he couldn't answer Brother Dao's question, so he could only continue to watch Ms. Rorick's demonstration.She clapped her hands, and Ia, the execution puppet of the gods, straightened her body and raised her head slightly.Next, two beams of orange-yellow beams shot out from its eyes, directly penetrated the ceiling of the hollow hall, and flew into the gloomy sky.

Now, the parking lot can be seen more clearly than the venue.Zhuang Xuteng and the others looked up directly, and clearly saw two orange beams shooting into the dark clouds, sparking a series of free electric sparks.At the same time, the dark cloud was "burned" into an ever-expanding hole, and the long-lost sunlight slanted down from the hole, just shone on the venue, penetrated through the hole, and shrouded Vice President Rorick.

"The age of light for mankind has come," she said with a smile.

The god executed the puppet to retract its gaze, and resumed its previous posture of standing at attention, as if it were a statue that could not move.Everyone present was speculating in their minds about the meaning of the phenomena just now, especially how much shadow energy was needed for the act of "turning the clouds to see the sun", and whether there is something similar that can be compared with it.

"If it looks straight and sweeps across, it can kill everyone present with its eyes alone. Unless it can be avoided, unless it has armored skin." Ge Gongdao finally stopped frowning, and he said: "Now I understand how to destroy this thing A regular army: it can shoot directly through the ceiling, so there is no tank that can prevent it from staring. As long as it has the ability of high-speed and high-explosion, then it can solve the most critical problem: breaking the defense."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his face and said, "This thing...is powerful. What does the Scarlet Group mean by taking this thing out? Is it saying that it will not lose in the corporate war? Uh...Looking at the appearance of the four major companies, it seems I don’t want to fight corporate wars anymore, so why build this? Yes, how many of these are there, and will it be very expensive?”

Nightingale sighed, and said, "Shadow copying technology. If you can make one, you can make at least eight more..."
