A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

As long as smuggling is carried out, there is always a pass that cannot be bypassed by technology... The "border management" of Elysium, or more precisely, the "peripheral defense system" developed by ARMADYNE Torr.

The function of this system is to physically destroy all other spacecraft that appear outside the scheduled flight.If the spacecraft is shot down by the missiles of the defense system, no genius hacker can solve it.

It is much more difficult to get this thing done than to get the identity... Even if this defense system is informationized and connected to the Internet, it is not as loose and basically undefended as the household registration management.

So the second method, which is many times more expensive but much safer, was born, that is, to hijack the official ship coming to the surface from the Bliss Space, and enter and land normally before the guys above them can react.Of course, it is expensive, but it is much easier than the immigration review through official channels.

Needless to say, this method has far fewer customers than the previous method; even if the failure rate of the "breakthrough" landing has not been low, there will naturally be a lot of people rushing to give him money, and even after that, they will still The same goes for being found and deported.

Who doesn't want to live a healthy life?

Max didn't look like he was suffering from any serious illness, and he didn't buy those two places for himself.

Fleur and her daughter, he wanted them both to live...he didn't know why.

The little girl Matilda went up to treat leukemia, and of course her mother had to accompany her. A little girl of a few years old should not be able to complete the operation of using MEDPOD with a fake identity.

"...You have other solutions, Spider."

That's all he could say at last.

The spider gave a thumbs up, and there was an inexplicable smile on his face that made people feel a little uncomfortable: "Are you a brother, or do you know me? Well, you two can do one thing for me. I will give you two places in vain." For you."

Before asking what it was, Max nodded immediately: "I promise you."

Julio who was next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice, "You are crazy! Can you handle it!"

You know, Spider is also the leader of the "Resistance Organization" anyway, and he still has some force in his hands, and even has such a big killer as an armed destroyer; is there anything he can't do himself, but wants Max to do it?

"There are a lot of people under my command, but they are unwilling to do this. Because there is no turning back, no room for regret. Once you accept the transformation, you have to live with that thing for the rest of your life. It's not like The protective gear on your nose that can be thrown away in a few days..." The spider restrained the smile on his face and said.

"...Reformation?" Max felt as if he had heard an incredible term.

The spider nodded: "Yes, transformation. You should know that there are many people in the Elysium space who go back and forth between the space station and the earth every day, and their main office is on the surface. What I'm talking about now is not picking on them. Clothes, watches and other small businesses... guess what is the most valuable thing on them?"

Before Max could answer, he pointed to his head: "...it's the information in their brains. Although you may not understand it, the human brain is a sophisticated computer. Those people's identity information, bank information, etc. Accounts, passwords, and permission information in the Bliss Space are all stored in the hard disk of this 'computer'... These data can also be extracted, but they have a specific format, and currently they can only be stored in the same 'biomass' in other organisms."

Max, who has assembled a lot of robots by himself and has learned some related knowledge, probably understands what he is talking about, and responds with a frown: "You mean, you want me to be this 'biomass body'?"

"Smart, brother. As long as you donate your brain as a relay, take and give me the information in the brain of an important person, it doesn't matter how many people you want to send. Do you know, those information may be related With a wealth of tens of billions of American dollars..."

Julio couldn't help interrupting the spider, and said excitedly: "You use other people's brains as chips to make money?"

"Yes." The spider stared at Julio without thinking there was anything wrong with it and said, "You usually use your brain and your body to work hard all your life, how much money can you make, Julio? Do you know? Knowing that the group of people in the Bliss Dimension may have spent a whole year's wages of the surface workers for a meal in the courtyard of their home?"

For no reason, Max thought of the human prosecutor and the few banknotes he thought would work.

Probably from the other party's point of view, it's just change that you don't feel bad about throwing away.

The spider turned to look at him again, and continued: "...so the question is, who are you going to buy tickets for, and do you think it's worth the effort. I won't force you, brother."

The bald Max slowly closed his eyes.

He thought of Fleur and her daughter, and what would happen to him if this went wrong.Finally, he thought of Henry, and how determined he was when he pointed to the word "wife" he had written on the paper.

"Who are we messing with?" he asked.

The spider smiled, and turned his head to point to a certain LCD screen next to him: "He, the president of ARMADYNE, John Carlyle."

On the screen, Carlisle, who was wearing a neat suit, was talking eloquently to the camera of the TV reporter:

"We don't believe that the company is the master of the fate of the surface workers. From the beginning to the present, from the present to the future, they have the right to choose. They are always free. They can resign at any time to do other jobs. This is a two-way choice. "

What appeared before Max's eyes was the crowd who silently took off their work permits at the gate of the factory, the sad and desperate eyes of the mother named "Caroline", and the metal gun stock of the robot law enforcement officer who appeared in front of him.

Chapter 13 Base

The other world is relatively less crowded.

On the outskirts of Moscow, farther away than those suburban residences and airports, there are endless forests and grassy seas, and those high-rise buildings with glass curtain walls have become patchwork undulations on the skyline.

Following the instructions of the boss, the fighters here did not go out again, only leaving a few very hidden guard posts on the periphery of this base that looked like an abandoned factory.From a distance, no one would think there were people here...just like the other deserted, snake-infested factories in other directions in Moscow.

Looking out from the window of the factory, you can also see the railway tracks built to facilitate the transportation of raw materials and products, extending to the distance among the overgrown grass; the sky above the plain is clear and clear, and you can even see the southeast direction through countless distances. Clouds drifting over the Volga.

In the years before and after the landing of the red flag, the entire country’s economy experienced severe shocks, the economic system changed overnight, the financial industry was in chaos, and many state-owned factories became a burden abandoned by the times at that time.

At this time, the soldiers in the factory did not have any sentimental feelings. At that time, most of them were underage, and what they cared about every day was going to school, fighting, and getting enough food... In fact, it is the same even now, working, fighting, and getting enough food, that’s all. If you don’t pursue belief, don’t you have to pursue something realistic?

"Fortunately, the boss is gone, otherwise I don't know who is next..."

In a sentry post hidden in the tower in front of the factory, two soldiers were smoking and chatting about the past, and one of them said so with sympathy.

Working under the hands of a boss like A Kang, the mental pressure is really a bit high. Most of the brothers are addicted to cigarettes, and some usually smoke other things.

"I like to strive for a sense of presence, and I don't care about the occasion to get close to the boss. It's not uncommon to have this kind of fate." Another soldier replied.Usually, the boss has useful people and high-ranking officers around him, and it is their job to spread news and research strategies, and it is never their turn to report to him with junior officers and top soldiers.

I don't know why the dead guy was deluded by his boss and colleagues. I really thought that anyone could speak in front of the boss... No, it might be collusion with the guy who died outside his villa , The one who deployed troops privately was his boss.In that case, none of their team will have good fruit to eat - really think the boss doesn't care about this?

On the contrary, these two soldiers squatting in the guard post at this time have always just followed orders, and they don't expect to express themselves in front of the boss.The boss gave them enough remuneration to settle down the entire family and even live like nobles in the local area, and they fought bravely for the boss and traded fairly, as you like.

"Speaking of which, how is Dalia's school?"

Looking at the sea of ​​grass outside the window, one of the soldiers asked.

Another soldier replied: "It's all right, everything is fine. After transferring to another school, no one bullied her anymore, but she seems to have become obsessed with fashion again recently, probably because the clothes she wears are very expensive, so the little sisters around Holding her in your arms makes her feel a little buoyant..."

"...There is nothing wrong with being obsessed with fashion, you can afford it anyway." Said the comrade-in-arms.

"Yeah...it's you, you should get married too, why are you still alone at this age?"

"Let's talk about it after retiring. I don't have time now. I will go back to my hometown and find a girl to marry. She doesn't have to be very beautiful, as long as she is down-to-earth and loves her family."

The unmarried soldier forgot to look out the window for a moment, his eyes were out of focus, and his voice was muffled under the mask: "Even if we live in the countryside, we farm, raise chickens, cut trees and chop firewood, and live a life that doesn't require guns to kill people. "

“The money we make with guns, those who don’t have guns don’t make it,” said the soldier, who is married with a daughter, with a shrug.

The two were chatting when they heard a burst of electrical noise from the walkie-talkie next to them.

The older soldier's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun, which was put aside, and screamed shortly, "Electronic interference!"

But before the two of them could find the enemy, they heard a burst of gunfire whose volume was lowered by the silencer.

The married soldier suddenly leaned back, spread his hands, and smashed the submachine gun in his hand to the ground, splashing blood on his chest and head, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The unmarried one was slightly injured. A few bullets hit his chest, arm, and thigh, and one hit his eye and hit the wall behind him, which almost made him confess here.

Even though he was not fatally injured, he lost his ability to move. He lay there, opened his eyes helplessly, and watched two people in auspicious suits walk in through the door.

"I can't let you report contact with the enemy."

As Jimmy said, he turned off the electronic jamming device he was carrying.The power of this thing is very high, and it has started to heat up just now, but the effect is still very strong.

Henry took off the walkie-talkie from the two enemies and put it on himself, and nodded towards Jimmy.

Jimmy shrugged, raised his gun, and helped the barely alive soldier who had fallen to the ground.

"It's a pity, I still want to know where your hometown is, maybe 'Jimmy' can go and see... there are one or two I like this kind of natural and original ecological life very much. But now I don't At that time... I don't think you will live to finish the story. If you answer my question quickly and save us both time, then maybe you can still be saved. Just nod when you think about it."

Of course that guy nodded immediately, if you have any questions, just ask!

Henry also glanced at the two soldiers who were completely quiet at the moment, raised his foot, and wiped the blood from the sole of his boot on the back of the dead one.

He didn't remember what the country was like...or he did, but didn't know it was called "the country".

From the moment he came to the meadow outside the factory, he had a wonderful sense of familiarity just like in Moscow. He knew how to hide his body without Jimmy reminding him, and how to quickly approach the sentry without being noticed. There are also what kind of snakes and insects there will be in the grass, what kind of accidents to worry about, and so on.

Even when he saw the two people in the sentry tower, he immediately figured out the surveillance angle of the other party in his head, and deduced the location of the surveillance cameras, and went around with Jimmy.

When he shot, he didn't hesitate at all, as if taking the life of others was a very common thing for him.

Of course... Maybe he was a soldier with a lot of combat experience.

Jimmy had already finished asking, and punched this man to the ground... If the two of them moved quickly, saved Henry's wife and left quickly, maybe this guy could really survive.

"Akang is not here. According to him, he is going back to the city center to deal with 'other important issues'... He did see a girl and was transported to the laboratory. The laboratory is at the core of the building, one to three floors above ground. There are no windows, there are corridors all around, there are a bunch of patrolling personnel, and there are bulletproof and fireproof security doors."

In the tower, Jimmy pointed to the factory base below.

The structure of this base is not complicated, but the simpler it is, the easier it is to defend.The patrolling guards looked back and forth, and all irrelevant personnel had a panoramic view immediately; there was only one entrance and exit to the laboratory, and it was conceivable that all personnel entering and exiting required authorization, and there was no possibility of sneaking in or sneaking in.

As for sneaking in through the ventilation system...don't be funny, in this kind of Soviet-era building, the steel plate of the ventilation pipe is louder than thunder when it touches it, let alone two people entering.

"It seems that our shortcut ends here... At most 3 minutes, the radio will reconfirm this post. Do you have any suggestions, Henry?"

Jimmy continued.

Henry untied his auspicious suit and threw it on the ground. Now he doesn't need this thing to hide himself... The auspicious suit can't work in the surrounding concrete environment.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the machine gun on his back to Jimmy, stretched out his hand and made two tactical gestures, one was "strike" and the other was "cover me".

"Well, you guys are really brave." Jimmy put the machine gun on the window of the tower.

When Henry appeared in the front yard of the factory and was spotted by soldiers on patrol, the machine guns on this side also rang out, and they began to shoot wildly at the soldiers rushing out of the factory.The quiet suburban ruins just now turned into a killing field where dust and shrapnel flew across and gunfire exploded like thunder.

Henry took a deep breath, exerted all his strength on his legs, and rushed towards the inside of the factory.The electric pump in his heart is outputting at full power, and endless power is filling his limbs... After this period of fighting, he has already learned how to use this newborn body.

Part of the reason is that he has been scanned in another world, and he has fully understood what is in his body... A complete set of precision mechanical transmission devices, a metal exoskeleton that is definitely stronger than the human body, allows him to make things beyond the scope of human capabilities. other actions.

In the process of running, he made a sudden stop, barely dodged the bullets fired by the guards in the factory window, and then jumped sideways, spanning a distance of several meters, stretched out his hand and took out the A soldier in full armor crushed his neck with a snap, lifted his body to block a stream of bullets, and at the same time took the gun in his hand and shot into the factory. The power has clearly surpassed the limit of human beings.

Jimmy, who was using a machine gun on the tower to suppress the enemy's firepower, couldn't help curling his lips... Yes, it was this kind of super soldier that lunatic Akon wanted to create.If all the people under his command can be transformed into such a state, he might not be able to satisfy him if he dominates the region, and black and white take all.... Akang will go straight to world domination.

I don't know what went wrong that caused Henry and his wife to escape Akon's control, but he has to say, fortunately, this guy didn't produce a mass-produced Henry.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Henry gesture to him, and jumped into the corridor on the inside of the window.

Chapter 14 The Metal Brain

At this moment, Henry only felt extremely calm in his heart.

After he entered the building, the suppression fire from Jimmy began to cover the other side of the corridor in order to avoid accidentally injuring him; the nearby soldiers who were hiding behind the thick concrete wall and were not killed for the time being were ready to jump in. He launched an attack, but at this time Henry, who was outputting at full power, had already rushed into the crowd like a whirlwind.

His steel knuckles, the dagger he pulled out, and the bullets from his gun quickly tore apart the opponent's body, and many soldiers were killed before they even reacted; Blood, the skull of the latter one had already been smashed to pieces by the steel knuckles together with the tactical helmet.

It's not that no one pulled out their guns to try to fire, but Henry, who has been keeping his focus, will quickly close the distance at this time, and the dagger in his hand directly cuts the enemy's throat and penetrates the enemy's eyes, turning the opponent's weapon into his own , Let the opponent's corpse serve as your own shield, even if you get hurt, it's just a scratch.

No one could stop his advance, more and more soldiers pouring from both ends of the corridor turned into the thick layer of corpses under his feet, and the only entrance and exit of the laboratory was already in sight.

He wasn't in the mood for a perfect infiltration, so he took a gun from the corpse next to him, and threw it at the lock of the security door.

Your door panel is bulletproof, but the door lock is also bulletproof, right?Your door lock is bulletproof, but the identity verification device is also bulletproof!

After hitting the circuit board so that sparks came out, Henry stretched out his hand and pulled it out, pulling out a lot of wires, no matter what they were, just connect them randomly anyway.

I don't know if it was connected or shorted, but with a bang, the metal door of the laboratory has been opened.

The rate of fire of Jimmy's machine gun has slowed down. At this time, he should be focusing on dealing with the reinforcements coming from another part of the factory, and he may not be able to join him in time...Of course, it is the most suitable and most suitable for him to protect Henry's back there. reasonable.

[146. No. 146]

Henry, who broke into the laboratory, didn't act too violent in the face of those guys in white coats who were at a loss. He just waved the muzzle of his gun and told them to go out.

There is no need to leave anyone to lead the way... He saw at a glance that there was a small "room" made of glass walls standing not far in front of him.Or, rather than a "room", it is a "container".

Above and below the glass wall are heavy metal trays, or should be called fixtures, which look like a "biological showcase" in a sci-fi movie.

Estelle, who didn't know when she changed into a long black dress, stood behind the glass wall with a sad face and eye makeup stained with tears, staring blankly at Henry here.

Henry has never hated his inability to speak so much, so he can only take out the phone again and write in the APP: "Wait until I rescue you."

Judging from the thickness and toughness of the glass wall, even if he shoots it directly with a gun, it might not be able to break it, not to mention that it is easy to hurt his wife standing inside; but he thought, since it is used to hold living things Something, there should be an electronic life support system, there is a part that can be opened, right?

However, he turned around the cabinet several times, but couldn't find its control center. It seemed that this thing was assembled directly from parts and could only be removed with heavy machinery...

"...I really admire your persistence."

Suddenly, a voice with a strong emotion came from behind.

Henry suddenly felt that his whole body could not move, as if he was being pressed by hundreds of tons of weight, or as if his whole body was poured into a concrete pile, and it was more like being sunk without wearing a deep-sea diving suit. Into the bottom of the trench.

A tall, thin man with blond to white hair came from behind, madness was hidden deep in his eyes, and blood was still dripping from the tip of his nose.

Akang took out his handkerchief, wiped away the nosebleed indifferently, and stretched out his other hand in Henry's direction.

"...Did you dare to come to my base again today... Do you know that in order to come back quickly to see your expression, I will spend a lot of money and energy in Moscow to deal with the aftermath. After all, I am still here Martial law is in progress. Fortunately, there is a direct passage from the base to Moscow, so I can arrive in time."

While speaking, this crazy guy moved his face closer to Henry, staring straight into Henry's eyes with his abnormally light-colored pupils, with a grin on his face.

"You're such a good buddy, I can't believe you've put in so much effort just to make me more excited to have Estelle. Yes, she's mine, what do you mean, pissed off? Does this body of yours have the function of being angry? Oh, you don’t expect Jimmy to save you, do you? That friend has already been captured by us, and you have no hope.”

As he spoke, he twisted his hand, making Henry turn back, and saw Jimmy's body carried in by a few soldiers with a red cloth belt tied around his head.

Judging from the wound, this guy should have shot himself in the chin immediately after realizing that he couldn't defend the tower, and a big hole was blown in the sky cap.

No wonder the sound of machine gun firing has not been heard since the beginning.
