Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 462 Chapter 459 Worth taking action
"One of my warehouses was robbed and four boxes of goods were lost. Two boxes were loaded on the car and were obtained by my mercenaries, and the other two boxes were mine. According to the surveillance video, they put the boxes on the car. Throw it away and drive away." Rafat said to Gogongdao: "There is a positioning device in my thing, and I also know who is cooperating inside and outside to guard theft. Based on this information, I can know where the thing is. What is missing now is Someone who can get them back.”

"If you can get all the things back, I can give you the flat-head brother inside, plus this radio station, and I don't need any money. If you can only get back part of it, discount those things, and I will give you 30.00% You calculate, discount it from the price of the radio station. If you get Brother Flathead back and want it, then Brother Flathead’s price will not be included in the discount range, what do you think of this?"

"You are dishonest. The return for debt collection starts at [-]%, and there is not much risk in that. For your task, only [-]% is considered when you get the things back. You are not giving cash, but discounts from the price of the radio station?" Ge Gong said. Shaking his head, he said: "Inappropriate, very inappropriate."

Zhuang Xuteng echoed: "It's not that we don't have money to buy a radio station, but we have already bought a radio station. Don't mix things up. When we take on your task, we must at least have a basic appearance fee, and then we can talk about sharing, right? Is this the truth?"

"Hehe, I wanted to play a trick, but you guys found out." Rafat said with a smile on his face: "Let's talk business, let's talk business! I'll pay the appearance fee, and the mission goal is to set at least two boxes, and my box will be given priority. It’s really hard to increase the discount calculation too much, I will give you [-]% at most. You will also have the opportunity to get other things in the mission, and those are also your income. In addition, I only have Brother Flathead here, you can’t find anything else Seller."

Rafat mentioned "Brother Flathead" many times, conveying in his words that this thing is quite advanced.But what exactly is Brother Pingtou and whether it's worth the extra trouble? Zhuang Xuteng has no idea.He signaled Brother Dao with his eyes, and then contacted Lucy by sending a message to ask her about the situation of "Brother Flathead".

On the phone, Lucy was obviously stunned for a moment, then started the third-party call and dragged Meteor in.Meteor is indeed an expert in this field and immediately gave his opinion: "That is a good thing! It is ahead of the radio stations we bought in all aspects. Get it, get it, get it for sure!"

Lucy was not as excited as Meteor. She left Zhuang Xuteng full decision-making power: "Don't listen to Meteor. You and Ge Gongdao evaluate the difficulty of the task yourself to see if it is worth the risk. This flat-headed brother, even if it is worth 30 Euros, measured by this number. In addition, if you decide to take on this task, I will ask Meteor to provide you with information support, and I will also have the cleaning team on standby. In short, the PTG matter can also be regarded as our own action. do you understand?"

Zhuang Xuteng knocked a signal to express receipt and understanding, then approached Brother Dao and expressed his thoughts.In fact, Zhuang Xuteng could tell that Brother Dao hadn't done a mercenary mission for a long time, so he really wanted to do it.Now that Lucy's permission has been obtained and it will not conflict with "Operation New Pin", Gonggongdao only needs to consider the actual difficulty of the task and the comparison of benefits.

"Forty percent, plus Brother Flathead, that's about the same. At least we can start talking." Ge Gongdao rubbed his hands and said, "According to the rules and procedures of the middleman-mercenary, we can talk about the mission outline."

Rafat smiled and nodded, passed the cigarettes to the two of them again, and then said in a puff of smoke: "There is a guy among my men who has a bad mind. He looks after the warehouse for me, but what he thinks about is how to make money for himself. When he saw there were cars and boxes in the warehouse, he opened the warehouse and asked people to come and pick them up, thinking he had turned off the monitor. Unfortunately, he didn’t know all about my monitor, and everything was exposed.”

"I didn't alert the snake, and even now I'm pretending not to know that I lost something. I've sent mercenaries to keep an eye on the thief, and I can catch him at any time; in order to avoid being noticed by others, I didn't open the box either. Tracker. As long as you agree to find something for me, I will immediately arrest and locate the person, and at the same time provide you with intelligence support."

Ge Gongdao nodded and looked at Zhuang Xuteng.Once it comes to the details of the mission, Zhuang Xuteng thinks more comprehensively, so he will be the one to talk about it.Zhuang Xuteng did his part and asked: "I understand that the mission briefing will not involve specific people and names of forces, but I need to know a question: Since you can still use the surveillance system to see the theft, do you know who did it?"

"know."

"Gang, mercenaries, or corporations?"

Rafat hesitated and said, "Mercenaries and maybe the black market are involved."

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng turned to Ge Gong and said, "Brother Dao, you are right with anyone, as long as it is not a company. You are familiar with the mercenary business, so you make the final decision."

"Done!" Ge Gongdao slapped his thigh and said: "Such mercenaries who steal things from middlemen and mercenaries should be punished. It is best to be kicked out of this business! Strictly speaking, this is also considered a traitor. ,right?"

"Yes! You are absolutely right!" Rafat nodded vigorously, and then said: "Since you have agreed, I will start tracking now..."

Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute! Don't turn on the tracker, and don't start making arrests. Now that you know the identity of the thief and the time of the theft, just track them directly. I'm worried that the mercenaries may keep an eye on the situation. Once discovered, They will immediately flee at the slightest sign of trouble, and it will be difficult to catch them.”

"Okay, I can ask the intelligence officer to retrieve the surveillance images along the way and track their whereabouts."

"Yes, the same information will be given to us, including the name, time and location." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Brother Dao and I also have people who are proficient in tracking in our team. By working together, we can get more comprehensive information."

Rafat frowned and asked, "Are you going to let Lucy intervene?"

"No, I didn't mean that." Zhuang Xuteng kept his face straight when he lied. "Once I tell Lucy, things will become complicated, and there is no need. Of course, I still have to tell her in the end, because we are mercenaries under her name. When we take on jobs outside, according to the rules, we must be briefed. But the matter of recovering things is not complicated. If those people are still in Peicheng and are not hiding deeply, the problem may be solved in one day. It is still in line with the rules to report after we have finished dividing the money."

Rafat looked at Ge Gongdao, who nodded vigorously and said, "Nike's opinion is my opinion. You may not know yet: when it comes to specific action plans, he is a master, and I listen to him."

"Unexpected, unexpected..." Rafat looked at Zhuang Xuteng carefully and kept his image firmly in his mind. "In this case, I will tell you everything I know so far..."

Rafat gave the person's name and at the same time called up the surveillance video for two people to see. He gave a detailed explanation of each person's situation and the situation of the box based on the video.In the video, a total of three mercenaries and a warehouse guard were involved in the theft. Their movements were quite neat and their cooperation was tacit, as if this was not the first time they had done this.

Lafat did not admit that he had been stolen before, but deep down Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao did not believe his words.Anyone who wants to continue working in this industry will not admit this kind of thing of throwing people away.Maybe I couldn't get my things back several times before, and I didn't even know who did it, so I had to use my own money to pay for it, and finally let it go.

If it hadn't "happened", why would Rafat hide it from everyone and secretly install a surveillance system?
"We split up and started tracking." Zhuang Xuteng said to Rafat: "Now that we know that your mercenaries are involved in this matter, we have to be careful that the actual number of people involved may be more. Maybe the mercenaries around you There are those who stay among the soldiers to act as spies, so you'd better not announce or mobilize mercenaries, and you also have to pray and hope that the mercenaries sent out to keep an eye on the moles are not moles themselves." "I trust those mercenaries. Soldiers, trust them with your life. If they are also traitors, just kill me and everything will be fine."

"Well, it's good that you have this confidence, but I still think you should retrieve the things first, and then you can order the arrest of the mole." Zhuang Xuteng said: "In addition, this operation is likely to cause conflicts, and you will lose a few mercenaries. , is this okay?”

"Absolutely no problem." Rafat was quite firm and gritted his teeth when he said this: "Those bastards, I gave them food, I gave them a chance to escape poverty, and gave them a chance to get ahead. Is this how you show me kindness? Let me tell you, it’s not a pity for them to die! Don’t show mercy! It’s best to kill them all, then there will be peace!”

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head with a smile and said: "Our first priority is to get things back, not to kill people, and the price of taking things and killing people is very different. Well... we still focus on getting things back. If we can solve it smoothly, Seeing that Brother Dao has a good relationship with you, we will solve it easily, but we cannot make any guarantees now."

"That's enough." Rafat nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"Let's take the radio and leave." Zhuang Xuteng said: "After we leave, you go out and let your people replenish the goods, creating a situation where the two of us are here just to buy things and not discuss other things. "

"I know how to do it - you think carefully."

"By the way, you can ask the person who replenishes the goods to inquire about the price. It's best to include the things you lost, especially the things handed over by your subordinates. It doesn't need to be many, just one or two relatively rare things, just pretend to be you I had no idea anything was missing.”

Rafat pointed to Zhuang Xuteng with a smile and said: "Cunning, good, do the whole trick! I have full confidence in you."

Later, Zhuang Xuteng carried the radio box, and Ge Gongdao shook hands with Rafat warmly, and the two left Rafat's office in a relaxed and happy manner.When they got back to the car, Lucy had set up an encrypted communication channel, and Nightingale and Rockbird were also called over by her.

"I took over the mission without telling you two in advance. I'm sorry." Zhuang Xuteng said as soon as he came up.

"It's okay, we believe in your decision." Nightingale quickly expressed her stance and added: "Brother Flathead is worth taking action!"

"What on earth is that?" Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao asked in unison.

"The military penetration information warfare platform is very small, about the size of two palms, with eight legs, a bit like a spider." Nightingale said: "During the corporate war, that thing was mainly carried by special forces and wore It crosses the blockade and infiltrates local communication centers, radar stations and other places. It does not pursue destructive capabilities, but implements information warfare, that is, getting in, sticking up, releasing false information, misleading the opponent's actions, and thus pursuing greater battlefield gains.”

Yanque added: "The results of that thing are quite good. You can think of it as my sister and I, who are frontline information espionage, doing the same kind of work. But that thing can only execute written programs, and it has no ability to adapt to circumstances. , and its operation is quite complex and its usage conditions are also very harsh.”

"Is it difficult to use?" Zhuang Xuteng was particularly concerned about this, because if he really wanted to get Brother Pingtou, he would definitely carry and use it.He had no experience in operating this kind of machinery, and of course he was afraid that it would affect the mission if he didn't do it well.

"Don't worry about technical issues. It is also a communication platform. We can connect to it and provide guidance to it. And you can infiltrate with it and tie it to your body, and you don't have to worry about the difficulty of remote control operation. But..." Yanque suddenly After a moment, he added: "If you really have to operate it, it will be really troublesome."

Before Zhuang Xuteng could continue to ask, Lucy intervened and said, "Stop chatting, Nightingale and Yanque, you two should go to work. Together with Meteor, retrieve the surveillance video, track the thieves, and then find out the situation of their location." It’s clear. You have a lot of work and urgent work. After the information network work is completed, you will probably have to go to the scene to meet Brother Dao. If we want to ensure that this thing is done well, we must go all out. "

After Nightingale and Rock Bird were silent, Lucy said: "I read the detailed technical introduction. Brother Flathead's operation is indeed very complicated, but it is no problem for you, so you don't need to worry."

"Ah? Why do you say that?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"Pingtou Ge is very small, and most of the load space is used to install information warfare equipment. Its own maneuvering control system is very weak. Therefore, it has no independent action capabilities and relies entirely on remote control. There are two remote control methods."

One way is to use a joystick platform to manually operate eight legs and 32 action modes respectively. The complexity can be said to rank first among military equipment operated by a single person.To master the operation method of Brother Flathead requires at least six months of dedicated study, and most people will take at least nine months to a year to make that thing move flexibly.

The eight legs are designed to meet the "all-terrain, all-angle, all-plane" mobility capability, which is a hard requirement.The engineers who designed Flathead Brother also knew that it was too difficult to control, so they came up with another plan, which they called the "reverse zombie operation method."

Limited by the load space, Brother Pingtou's computing processing power is insufficient, so he uses the human brain.Walking, which is difficult for any living organism, is difficult.After research, engineers found that the brains of people with zombie physiques are most likely to receive information from the outside, and then use their own brains and nervous systems to process them.Therefore, Brother Pingtou can send environmental information and action requests to the operator in the background to directly realize brain-controlled actions.

The problem is: people with excellent zombie physiques are too rare, and the effect of ordinary people using this method of control is very average.

"But there's no problem with you. Your physique is suitable." Lucy said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Don't worry about getting that thing and not being able to use it. Just focus on getting that thing!"
