Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 459 Chapter 456 Old Plan

Interests and threats, beauty and terror... Lucy gave full play to her persuasive skills and stuffed various visions for the future into Duva's mind, forcing him to agree to cooperate.As an observer, Zhuang Xuteng finally saw what real negotiations were like, and also understood how difficult it was to obtain information.

To cheat, to steal, to sell, to rob, to threaten, to frame... There is no such thing as "hitting it off", only "unscrupulous" and "tit-for-tat".Even if there are indeed common interests between them - which is the fundamental reason why an agreement can be reached in the end - the negotiation process is quite intense.

If they didn't have common interests - Zhuang Xuteng thought to himself - it wouldn't be "fierce", it could only be "bloody".

Duva admitted that he kept a lot of back-up materials, including some dark materials, as well as detailed plans for almost every commissioned operation.He made five backups of this information, and he was willing to give one of them to Lucy and give her single access.

Obviously, before entering prison for retirement, Dewar thought that one day he might sell some information in exchange for benefits, so he set up a "single reading" mechanism.Although all data is loaded in each backup, any attempt to crack it will cause it to self-destruct directly.Dewar gave a single access password, which was only enough for Lucy to gain read and download permissions to one of the project folders.Since she didn't know what was in the other folders, Lucy could only follow Dua's instructions to get the details of "Operation Pin".

The trivial matter of retrieving the memory and reading "Operation Pin" does not require Zhuang Xuteng to do it himself. Lucy will send errands to do it, thus leaving Zhuang Xuteng time to rest and prepare for the next task.

How could Zhuang Xuteng dare to rest?From the conversation between Dua and Lucy, he learned how difficult and complicated "Operation Pin Insertion" was, the pity of falling short and how hard the participants struggled to escape.He didn't want his next mission to be his last, nor did he want his career to be cut off by the identity list.

“Go all out, go all out, it’s time to activate Kaho Wiggins’ booty.”

It had been one month and eight days since Colonel Taft arrived in Peicheng. During this time, Kaho's things had been hidden on the rooftop of Zhuang Xuteng's apartment, in the equipment mezzanine at the top of the elevator shaft.Zhuang Xuteng opened the elevator shaft, pulled out the petroleum sandwich bag, and then took out the damaged armor jacket.Only this piece of equipment had no shadow slave equipment at all and was absolutely unable to transmit positioning signals to the outside world, so Zhuang Xuteng dared to take it out.Other things can only be identified by professionals after Colonel Taft and his team leave Peicheng.

Taking this dress with her, Zhuang Xuteng called to confirm that Zhuang Feifei was in the studio, and asked her to make time for herself and find a studio where no one would peep.

Through the in-depth cooperation with Bai Moji, Zhuang Feifei opened up a new situation in the entertainment industry, which gradually led to her brand becoming well-known.She has always been smart and knows how to draw on the successful wisdom of her predecessors and add some popular innovations. She knows that she cannot just focus on the line of high-end customized clothing. She must have the support of high-volume clothing to develop steadily.She made a decision: wherever the actors go, advertisements will be placed, and she will start a business of improving work clothes.

Recently, she got a production line of her own by investing in a stock. She can finally control the production progress by herself, and no longer has to look at the manufacturer's face. This has greatly increased her capital circulation speed and also increased her work pressure. .It's easy to make mistakes when you're busy. Mano Ban almost turned her brand clothes into striptease props for sexual entertainment, but the brand supervision power didn't keep up.

"Brother, thank you for your help!" As soon as she saw Zhuang Xuteng, Zhuang Feifei gave him a big hug. "Thankfully you stopped me, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get the injunction from the court as early as next week, and it would be too late."

"Okay, there is no one else now, so it's okay for you to say this. Don't tell anyone else about this matter, and don't reveal it at all." Zhuang Xuteng put the bag containing clothes on the workbench and said, "It's not always the same that hurts people. It’s a glorious thing, even if the bad guys bring it upon themselves, we still have to take care of the bad guys’ shared interests.”

"Well, I only said it when I saw you. Other times, my mouth is sealed and I can't say anything." Zhuang Feifei looked at the bag on the workbench and said, "What's in it? I want you to Shall I make clothes for you?”

"Today's job is to repair the clothes - but are you safe here?"

"This room is dedicated to measuring the body data of the most important customers, including underwear. In order to prevent being secretly photographed by paparazzi or peeped by commercial spies, including mercenaries in this industry, the entire room has been specially shielded for signals and information. Isolated from surveillance. Don’t worry, I’m absolutely safe here.”

"Nothing is absolute, let me take a look..." Zhuang Xuteng opened the resentful spirit jelly, stared at the shadow eyes, and scanned the whole room up, down, left, and right. "It's okay. From a mercenary's point of view, this place is just fine."

"I'll just say there's no problem!" Zhuang Feifei kept staring at the bag curiously and motioned to Zhuang Xuteng to open it.She has developed rules into habits, such as only accepting clothes from others and not rashly touching clothes brought by customers.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand these details. He just treated her like his sister and acted like a spoiled child to him like she did when he was a child.Open the backpack, take out the armor jacket with a hole in it, and lay it flat on the workbench.Its texture is not like clothes, but like a large piece of iron, which is amazingly stable.

"What kind of material is this? It feels so weird." As soon as she got started, Zhuang Feifei discovered something unusual except for the specific gravity. "It is soft when you rub it, similar to artificial leather, but with a little force or an impact, it becomes very hard, like steel. However, it absorbs the impact itself, then spreads along the surface, and then discharges from the edge. It hardly moves towards the edge. Impact force is transmitted internally...Yes, you can see the support structure here from the damage. This structure is so weird..."

The key is not the structure, but its material: it is a composite material with a natural spiral structure. It is divided into three types: white, green and red. They are intertwined with each other to form trunks and branches of different thicknesses, just like fish bones. Supports both inner and outer layers of clothing.The brothers and sisters carefully studied and found that this structure has completely different force transmission effects in the inner and outer directions: the force is exerted from the inside out with almost no resistance; the impact force from the outside will be guided away by the fish bones and will not be directed inward. transmission.

"I have learned a lot." Zhuang Feifei licked her lips, her desire for knowledge and work suddenly aroused.She carefully studied the damage of the clothes, and then said: "I can't imitate this support structure, so I can only tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. Fortunately, the structure inside is repeated. I believe that all areas of the clothes are The same repetitive structure. How are you going to break it down?"

Kahuo is about five centimeters taller than Zhuang Xuteng, and his body is slightly bigger, so his clothes are exactly one size larger than Zhuang Xuteng's.This armored jacket is for autumn and winter, in the shape of a short windbreaker, with the hem just around the knees.Zhuang Xuteng wanted to shorten his clothes, that is, remove the bottom and patch it up to the top.

"Uh... you can't move it directly. I just reached out and touched it. The hem has a special structure. It has to completely resolve the impact force. I have to keep the bottom part, then intercept the upper link, move the hem upward, and then The cut parts are used as raw materials to repair damage and reconstruct the structural connections of the clothes.”

"You just need to have a plan, including changing to short sleeves," Zhuang Xuteng said.

"No way! What will it look like with short sleeves and a windbreaker shape? Besides, this dress must protect you. If it can't protect your arms and has no fighting power, it will be useless no matter how well protected you are. Believe me, I have improved clothes for the company and know their design ideas."

"Then I listen to you." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and nodded, but still felt uneasy: "This dress is very strong, can you take it apart?" "You can't take it apart with brute force, you have to follow the cutting seam to do it. Take it apart. Hehe, in a fierce battle, there is absolutely no way to do such fine work. Only by letting it sit and groping slowly can you find it... I found it, right here."

At this time, Zhuang Feifei's experience was revealed. She not only found clues that could be disassembled, but also determined the direction and steps for disassembly.She said that this kind of armored suit does not lay a skeleton inside and then put on an outer layer, but like ancient scale armor and ring armor, parts are "anchored" and connected together.This is more like the "mortise and tenon" structure in architecture. The connecting parts are usually very strong and integral, with almost no gaps visible. They can only be slowly disassembled according to specific methods.

After taking the clothes apart, they saw something beyond the structure of the clothes.It is a flat strap that goes up from the center of the back of the dress, bisects at the nape of the neck, and then connects to the shoulders and shows through. "I thought the armor plates on the shoulders were integrated, but I didn't expect there was a hidden groove. And this shadow energy control belt? An eight-channel one? Wow, I've only seen a four-channel one before."

Zhuang Xuteng probed his head, and once again confirmed that there was no shadow energy response from this thing, he asked: "What is it used for?"

"Transmitting shadow slave energy and shadow slave control signals is like a wire plus a control switch. Hey, there's no way you don't know this thing! Even if the mercenaries don't learn, there is this thing in the factory."

"I know this is an energy and control double line. I asked why it was hidden in the clothes? There is no shadow slave equipment in it!"

"I guess this is for internal and external communication." Zhuang Feifei touched the inner and back part of her clothes and said, "There should be something else here. I can feel different feels. It should be an approximately round plate with one side It is adsorbed on the inside of the clothes, and the other side is connected to the implant. Do you know the kind of interface implant that supplies energy to the outside? "

"Oh! I understand! The board is still there, but it has the shadow chip, so I didn't bring it. There is an interface on the board, which should be connected to the energy port of the implant. I have this kind of implant on my back ...But the interface type seems to be different..."

"Let me see." Zhuang Feifei waited for Zhuang Xuteng to lift up his clothes, looked at his back, and said: "This is an old interface. Although it is classic, it is time to upgrade. But don't worry, the conversion parts are on the market. If you can buy it, I even helped a handsome old man assemble the interface!"

"Handsome old man?" Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes and sounded a little weird.

"A singer wanted to make a comeback and make money. He needed to power his bass when he sang. He changed to a new effect bass, but he didn't want to change the implant, and I just wanted to change his performance clothes, so I asked this question. And solved it. Brother, you'd better bring that board over, I have to see what model it is, and then I can match the adapter for you."

"Well, okay, I'll pick it up in a moment. By the way, what's the use of connecting this? Is it a shadow gun on the shoulder?"

Zhuang Feifei shook her head and said: "This stumps me. You see, although there are grooves in the shoulder armor, it is only anti-slip, not a hard-connected fixed structure. I think this is a very close-range The design of the connected shadow slaves emphasizes the effect of putting one on for use and one for detaching. Um, a cloak? Or a backpack?"

"It should be a cloak." Zhuang Xuteng thought of the optical invisibility cloak and was basically sure it was it. "There is a cloak, a shadow slave device. It is quite sophisticated, but I can't find its control button at all."

"It may be built-in. You have to use the close contact communication on the shoulder armor, plus this wire, and the disc you didn't bring, to connect it to your implant, and then issue commands through your brain." Zhuang Feifei said: "The four major companies have different control protocols and methods. There are several types within our company. Some are for clerks, some are for combat personnel, and some are for senior executives. If you don't know the agreement, then..."

"Can you try them one by one? For example, try the ones made by Dingxin Magic?"

Zhuang Feifei put down the tools in her hands, pointed at the clothes and said: "Brother, look at this hole, it's definitely not bought in a store, it's probably stolen goods from a dead person. If your cloak is also stolen goods, you have to be more careful. : If that thing has security settings that send location information when you use the wrong protocol, you may attract the company's security department."

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's clothes, I have a way to dismantle them. If you look at what's going on inside, I can guess almost exactly how to use it." Zhuang Feifei continued to work, while dismantling the armor jacket. While saying: "It's best not to do this in Peicheng, it's best to go on the highway. And I have to make preparations first and shield the car's signal."

"When will we be ready?"

"Ah? Are you in a hurry to use it? It will take four or five days at the fastest. It's best to give me two weeks before I can prepare the car and workbench." Zhuang Feifei tapped the table with her knuckles and said, "Just This armored jacket will take me a whole day to finish. Not only do I have to disassemble it and reassemble it, but I also have to change the color for you, and preferably some camouflage effect, such as making it look like it has another shape. Brother, I don’t want you to be caught as a thief when you go out wearing this.”

"You're very thoughtful, please make sure you change it beyond recognition."

"It doesn't have to be completely unrecognizable. As long as it's completely featureless and inconspicuous, you won't be able to recognize which company it belongs to."

"Does it have the same effect as my popular face?"

"Yes, the same effect, brother with a popular face."
