Chapter 241 Rough Paths (Seeking Subscriptions)
In the evening, Horn, the sniper 'Death Sentence' Jiang Dong, and Dead Eye were rushing back to their temporary base in the lower district with the results they had observed near Mingde University.
As soon as Horn entered the base, he couldn't wait to tear off the bionic mask from his face.
His Disguise Technique was extremely sophisticated, combined with his unique Cultivation Technique, it could fool various high-tech holographic cameras into not recognizing whether he was disguised.
However, wearing this type of bionic mask was indeed very uncomfortable since, to counteract the cameras' scanning, it was quite suffocating.
"Where's Katya?" Dead Eye Horn glanced inside the room, "Still in deep dive state?"
The deep dive state was a term unique to the hacker world, where, with the help of specific drugs and a nutrient pod, a hacker's mind could enter an undistracted state of focus, thus significantly increasing computational power.
"She's still diving. She's trying to hack into Sky Blue Company's 'Divine Guards' and 'Imperial Guard' combat robots," someone replied, "even if it could slightly hinder their actions it would be good, but her supercomputer 'Wanderer', though portable and mountable on a vehicle, is just average in computational power."
Mechanic Beros pulled out a tactical board: "How about it, did you guys find anything? Any chance?"
Without a word, Death Sentence Jiang Dong walked up to the tactical board and began drawing, "As shown here, this is the best sniping position, if Lin Rui's abilities haven't changed, then as long as he delivers his speech that day and Horn can lure away the nearby defensive robots as planned, I have a 70% chance of assassinating him. However, my sniper rifle's firing speed and power are not sufficient, I need to add some gun accessories, about seventeen million federal coins."
Hearing this, Beros shrugged, as the sniper rifle accessories, with precision requirements at the micron level, were not something he could manufacture by hand.
"Also, the escape. There are no passages to the lower world within 800 meters of this sniping spot. I need you to help carve out a pathway and set up some smart machinery to block any pursuit," Jiang Dong continued.
"That's no problem!"
They say some powerful hackers can directly interfere with a person's brain cells and spinal nerves through a neural connector.
"How is this possible?" Mechanic Beros was extremely shocked.
The nutrient pod Katya was using for her deep dive was under his surveillance; if anything happened to the pod, it should have triggered an alarm.
Beros looked at the two holographic cameras nearby and several internal defense weapons in the room, his face slightly pale.
He realized that these cameras and the four small fully automated turrets had most likely been hacked.
"Such a formidable person!"

Beros was inwardly alarmed. His defense systems were not connected to the external network; the only connection in this temporary base was Katya's deep dive nutrient pod.
This meant the hacker had bypassed Katya, infiltrated unnoticed, first taken over all the defense systems of the temporary base, and then targeted Katya.
Beros wanted to go to his workshop to check the situation on the server side but was dragged outside by Horn, "This place has been compromised, we need to retreat—"
While speaking, Horn activated his walkie-talkie. For security reasons, they had temporarily disabled the network functions of their smart terminals upon entering the temporary base.
However, he had only just reached the base's main door when he heard a barrage of gunfire outside.
