National Juggernaut

Chapter 50 The Longest Night ([-])

On October 10th, at 5:05 in the afternoon, it was sunny, and Shiqian moved to the post station No. WE-30 between the Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road outside the city.

Information communication is an extremely important part of any society.

Even in this era, the original means of scientific and technological communication have been semi-disabled, and human beings still use the technology of the new era to complete the informatization layout within the sphere of influence of the big city.

"Since you can only use wifi-level networks, then let's build enough sites."

The idea is very simple and straightforward. On the main road of the outer ring outside the city, there are countless small post stations. The distance between them varies from the shortest three to five kilometers to ten or twenty kilometers, and the size and specifications are also adjusted to local conditions.

They are not only network nodes, but also post hotels for travelers along the road, and even scout posts that serve as warnings.

Especially the important towns leading to the fifth and sixth ring roads, where the post stations also function as military fortresses. Many elite hunters have been stationed for a long time, and they need to take the initiative to attack and support when necessary.

But the we-271 post station is obviously not included in this list.

Although he is one of the military's information network sites, there are no strategic points and resource points in front of him, and he deviates from the main road leading to other towns and cities, and there are not many passengers coming and going.

Not to mention oil and water, there is no rotten water to drink, and he can only maintain his life by beating a few strange beasts that bump into him occasionally.

Supplies?The salary subsidy is very generous, and the rations can also be guaranteed. The luxury goods such as tobacco and alcohol are too expensive, and black-hearted businessmen who pay twice the salary face five times the salary are really reluctant to buy them.

But today, it's still dark, and the guards here are already happily having a bonfire party.

reason?Today I met a well-meaning wealthy traveling businessman who just made a fortune and was about to go back to the city to replenish the goods, so I simply took out the stored materials and gave everyone a good time.

This kind of thing is also common. After all, long-term travel supplies must be replenished and replaced regularly. It is also a good thing to make good friends with fellow villagers along the road, but for the remote WE271 station, it is limited to hearing.

"Little Yinghuo, won't you come down and have a drink?"

"Auntie, I'm underage."

The girlish voice of reproaching with a little childish voice came from the window on the top floor of the cart, making the uncles and aunts below burst into laughter.

Bonfires, barbecues, beer, and happy folks who are good at playing the piano and dancing. When it was just dusk and the dragon constellation of the zodiac constellation appeared from the east, the scene became more and more joyful.

Only the initiator of the banquet was still messing with some messy things on his cart.

"It's fine if you don't drink, Miss Yinghuo, let's come down and play together."

This time, there was no answer to the inquiry, and the electronic music being played by the speaker above was the clearest answer.

"Oh, I really don't know what's the point of being locked in a room all the time for young people nowadays."

"Ha, you bastard who has been eliminated by the times, they are not locked in the room, but surf the Internet in the room. Our line here is super fast. She may be chatting with her family. Didn't you See that large transmitter? Young people know how to play more than you, so why not have a "candid" confrontation with your boyfriend in the room and have a remote party!"

The place he was referring to was a large external spiritual network receiver, similar to WiFi. When the truck first arrived, it was placed under the empty signal tower, which is the place with the best signal in the post station. .

But he also pissed someone off with his outspokenness.

"Boom"

The wrench dropped from the window hit the talkative guy's head firmly, making him cry out in pain while making everyone around him laugh.

"I said, I'm underage! You bad uncles!"

And the girl's scolding voice will only make the bad guys laugh even more happily.

It was not surprising that she could hear the conversation outside.

After all, the entire cart is an extension of her body. Considering the size of the cart, the bonfire scene next to the cart might be within her domain.

Needless to say, the dangers of traveling abroad these days, and how precious and practical vehicles are.

In the wild where space quakes and alien beasts strike at any time, being able to sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep is more useful than any supplies.

However, in a sense, car-type spirit weapons are the same as house-type and city-type spirit weapons after being cultivated. They are both area and space stabilizers based on self-domain abilities. Weapons also have certain mobility and defense capabilities.

Not to mention that ordinary spirit weapons consume ten times as much, depending on the classification of functions and usage tendencies, resource consumption is at least a hundred times higher.

As for a super big car like Yinghuo, it is not too much to start with ten thousand times, and it basically sucks up all the savings after someone's crazy accumulation of money, not including the professional training and study abroad expenses of the Spirit Race.

Yes, it’s a super big car, not a big truck or something. This is a super touring car unique to this era, or to be more precise, it’s a special product similar to the old Red Police game – a mobile base vehicle.

The huge car body is like a moving castle, the huge tires are taller than a person, and there is even a small warm garden and an open-air music station on the top floor.

This type of super touring car basically has a multi-story structure, and Yinghuo's car body has four floors and more than a dozen large and small rooms.

Now, just by herself at the parking spot of the post station, it is no longer a question of how many parking spaces she occupies, but directly occupies half of the parking lot, causing many vehicles to move.

No one would think that such a large vehicle is strange, because they often see even weirder and larger vehicles, and there are far more large vehicles that can travel between big cities than this.

The most common ones, the giant trains passing through towns and between rings are super monsters much bigger than fireflies.

Otherwise, there is not enough space to bring enough armed and elite fighters, and at the same time perform the duties of a freight forwarder (low freight frequency and high freight cost brought about by high risks in the wild).

On the huge body, there is an elegant blue and red painting, and a huge mural and logo are drawn on one side of the car body. It is a bonfire painting that creates light in the dark night.

Light up the fire, illuminate the night and point out the way.

The wanderers keep warm by the campfire and sing, and there will always be a day when they return to their hometown.

campfire?Fireflies?When uncles and aunts see this picture and hear this name, they can understand the good expectations and blessings held by the sword master who made her.

The only thing that makes people strange is that Little Yinghuo's humanoid appearance is too young, and there are no other merchants or protectors in her car. You must know that the car spirit race is almost a symbol of zero combat power. She said that in the previous big At the station, all the passengers went down for a full rest, and they will pick them up when they go back to Shiqian City to load their goods.

Although I can't understand why it is time to move to the city, don't go to the city for a rest, no matter how good the service of the post station is, can it be compared to the city? It is a minority, especially business-related, and the uncles will not delve into it.

However, what the uncles and aunts don't know is that Little Yinghuo is now in her room, scolding her creator.

"Bastard dad, you actually asked me to do this kind of thing. I hope that if it is exposed, the uncles will not be implicated in deducting their bonuses. Uh, even if they are really held accountable, it is not a big deal, and those materials can be considered as early compensation."

In a room full of various electronic devices, the short red-haired Eldar girl was biting a chocolate bar while frantically typing on the keyboard. There were six monitors on her left, right, top and bottom showing different images.

Amidst the deafening electronic sound, she is full of vigor wearing short-sleeved shorts, an inverted baseball cap covering the spiritual seal on her forehead, her little feet are stepping on the pillow, and there are two hanging chairs on the reclining chair with colorful lights. The earphones look like they are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and their real age is less than half of their appearance.

While waiting for the appointed time, she can comfortably and safely enjoy the convenience and happiness brought by electronic equipment while playing games, which is also one of the main reasons why this type of RV is worth the money.

"6:20, has it started yet?"

Turn off the tinkling alarm, glanced at the contact form, a promised dating post has appeared on the promised forum, implying that the plan is unfolding as scheduled.

A new virtual live broadcast platform with the coordinates of the we271 site outside the city was successfully launched, but there was only one live broadcast room.

But soon, many navy accounts logged in, broadcast rooms of major live broadcast platforms were opened, and the pictures of the new live broadcast rooms were broadcast across the entire network.

Next, the names of all the broadcast studios were uniformly renamed - [Justice Beheading Demon Online Beheading. 】

And that's just the first part of the job.

"Let's see, account number: BLQ2123, password: SQZSSG, er, 'District Chief Sun is a fool'? The guy who manages the official account, how much resentment he has for his boss."

I entered the official release account of the official website of the Bailu District Government, and successfully entered the background management interface. Several security measures have become meaningless with the help of the inner ghost.

Pull out a list of plans in a window, and Firefly starts to execute them one by one.

"First of all, it is an official announcement, the notice of the blackout in the two districts"

Three minutes later, an official announcement appeared on the main page of Bailu District's official website. past announcements.

"This area has suffered a sudden high-dimensional attack, and there is a problem with the power line. It will be repaired as soon as possible. Citizens are requested to wait patiently. Since the means of attack are relatively complicated at this time, the repair time is expected to be more than eight hours. Citizens are requested not to go out. Avoid accidental losses."

Such an announcement is nothing in itself, and it is difficult to defend against all kinds of troublesome high-dimensional attacks. The third and fourth ring belts have always been the hardest hit areas. Everyone is used to power outages. The announcement itself is also a familiar standard format for official documents.

Sometimes the power station blows up and something goes wrong. If the resistance is changed until there is no alternative route, the repair time will be extended.

There was even one time, after waiting for three days, I couldn’t get it done, and finally pulled out a temporary public line, and everyone used electricity from that line. After a few hours, Artel switched back to everyone who was angry at the time The "temporary linemen" ran wild in groups, marching and demonstrating in front of the embassy, ​​scaring them so much that they dared not go out.

Considering the number of backup lines now, this kind of announcement is rare, but there are still a few times every other month. Seeing this, many people are going to go to bed early, but found that

"Huh? Power outage? Why is the light still on?"

Indeed, the twinkling lights overhead almost seemed to mock the announcement.

"Shh!"

After 2 minutes, the power outage in the announcement finally came, and the whole room and the whole street were completely dark, which made people realize suddenly.

"Ah, this high-dimensional strike actually has an advance amount?"

At the same time, a certain vehicle-type Eldar was covering her face. She had just read the to-do list carefully.

"Ah, I still have to wait for the second signal. Uh, when the signal comes, it's 5 minutes early. It's okay, it's okay."

She still doesn't know that the prophetic announcement will become a new meme on Shiqiancheng's network in the future.

But now, she doesn't have time to think about it, and now every minute is precious, and there are a lot of work tasks.

"The temporary line of Friendship Avenue is under construction, citizens please detour."

"There is a fire on XX Street, please dispatch the fire squadron quickly."

"The XXX wanted criminal appeared on X Street, please act quickly, comrade police."

"There was a riot in Bailu District Prison. Relevant departments are requested to act quickly and suppress it."

A lot of official announcements, whether true or false, important or irrelevant, appeared in various ways at the same time. The amount of information was so large that one wondered if this was not half a year's unlucky event that happened in a hurry today.

The official notice issued crazy tasks, forcing all the public officials who had already left work to dispatch, and then the sailors swarmed up, and all kinds of rumors were flying in the sky.

"Ah, the Alters are calling?"

"Ah? Time Whale God is resurrected?!"

"Ahhh? Digital City has declared war on us, they are crazy, is there a civil war at this time?"

"Ahhh, the Grand Citizens' Assembly is sending out money? Come on, aren't those who believe in this kind of silly?"

Countless rumors filled every corner of the forum, and the only normal thing was probably the live broadcast room that suddenly appeared.

It is worth mentioning that the blackout also played an additional role, although only in two districts.

Especially the citizens of Bailu District, it’s too dark and too early, what to do if they can’t sleep? Watch the live broadcast. All of a sudden the number of people soared.

"The initial goal has been completed, and enough prepared believers have been gathered in front of the temple."

Someone glanced at the number of people and popularity in the live broadcast room, and silently liked and followed.

Many people thought it was just a prank, and the online chat was so exciting that they didn't realize what was going on. After the word got out, the number of people in the chat room steadily increased.

It wasn't just the audience from Bailu District who came. Due to the rumors and publicity, many audiences from other districts also noticed it. The official recognition seemed to be only a matter of time.

"The first step of the plan is to start the plan at dinner time, first to muddy the water, to use rumors and false announcements, to make the normal official channels less credible, to make all public officials doubt the authenticity of the superior's communications, and to reduce the other party's tracking , Correct efficiency, and get ready for the next job.”

"Tsk, Dad is really insidious. Civil servants are too lazy to die when they are just off work. It is difficult to find someone on the phone in such chaos. He even cut the phone line."

Glancing at the task list, Yinghuo knew that he would have nothing to do in a short time. So far, the plan is going smoothly.

Due to time constraints, the Lingwang Management Bureau has no experience in dealing with cyber attacks at all, and I look like an expert hacker in front of them. They can only simply block the area IP and check the water meter. The premise is that they must quickly find their off-duty jobs. personnel.

Block regional IP?Have you tried using the military's dedicated network line?Let's report to the military department first. Whether we can get a response tonight is a question. Those generals and marshals are also off work.

Check the water meter?Welcome to the door, but even if they can get out of the current chaotic situation, the contact network here is also within the control of their own server, and no information can get through.

Draw people from other sites?According to estimates, everything went well, and the fastest start time was six hours. By then, the mission in the live broadcast room had long since ended, and he had long since disappeared.

At the same time, the sailors are still frantically making false announcements and false rumors, which are forwarded to various parts of the network through this server platform, constantly creating chaos.

The Lingwang Administration will accept the baptism of cyber attacks and trolls for the first time. Can they give a passing score on the premise that they have already realized that this is an attack and responded in a timely manner.

The greater chance is that they are eating and eating skewers after get off work, and they don't realize that something is wrong at all.

Maybe when I go to work tomorrow, I will find that the situation is not right, so what's the point.

"boom!"

With a roar, Yinghuo's cart started slowly, which surprised the uncles and aunts below. They went out even after dark?

"I received an urgent transaction invitation, so I went to get some goods. Anyway, there is no internet when I go out, so I put the signal source here, and I will pick it up when I return."

Amidst the farewells of "Come again next time", "Little Yinghuo take care", "Thank you for the beer and barbecue", Little Yinghuo felt a little bit uneasy.

But running, you still have to run.

"If you want to arrest, just arrest Dad. It's all his fault. He forced me to do it. I'm just a child."

While the cart started slowly, Yinghuo had time to glance at the to-do list for the last time, and her own tasks were actually not many.

If there is no special situation where the live broadcast room is blocked, I have to immediately open the backup live broadcast room, and there is one remaining task.

"If all the other plans fail, we are forced to carry out the most plan E. After the message is sent out, we will meet outside the gate of Bailu District. I hope it will not come to this point. The four backup plans of ABCD all fail, how bad it will be."“? ?

"Girl Yinghuo, she didn't read the to-do list carefully."

Going back in time a little bit, Zheng Li, who was standing in front of the generator set in Bailu District, was annoyed and funny when he saw the power outage notice floating over the contactor.

At this time, he was wearing a mask with mechanical synthesized voice and a uniform with black armbands.

This is not a COS, but a real uniform, with armbands and a cloak, but without epaulettes.

Wearing this iron mask is quite photogenic, but the coat is a little too big, after all, it is a backup uniform replaced by someone.

At this time, he was not alone in the power distribution room.

The tightly bound staff jumped like salted fish, but when the "decapitator" cast his gaze, they immediately pretended to be dead.

Ignoring the "high voltage" warning sign, Zheng Li slowly approached the distribution box.

The staff below had their eyes wide open, looking expectantly at the scene where he was knocked down by high-voltage electricity.

The development of the situation disappointed him. Not only did the man in black in front of him not be knocked down, but he was also familiar with the operation of the distribution box and the instrument panel, making the whole crew run wild.

"boom!"

The illegal operation undoubtedly caused problems in the system. While a large number of sparks were emitted, the generator set began to shut down offline.

But the man in black was still not satisfied. He directly picked up the distribution box, tore off the wires, and ruthlessly threw it at the generator set.

"Crack!"

This time, it was heavy damage and mechanical loss visible to the naked eye.

Seemingly sure that it would be impossible to fix it in a short time, Zheng Li nodded, glanced at the staff below, kicked away the other party's rope, and disappeared outside the door.

"Quick, start the standby unit, do you have the key?!"

As soon as the ban was lifted, the staff yelled at the colleague who was also tied to the ground, but found that there was no response, only the desperate eyes silently looking behind him.

Looking back, the black-faced man was still standing there silently, as if he had never left.

"Tell me, backup crew"

There was no emotion in the mechanical synthesized sound. After 5 minutes, Zheng Li put down the iron rod that smashed the machine with satisfaction, and started the journey of leaving again.

Walking in the dark night, Zheng Li watched the changes in the live broadcast room, and at the same time observed the empty streets with satisfaction.

Fortunately, the next destination is not far away, only a few streets away.

When he walked outside the room, Zheng Li cleared his throat and turned on the live broadcast button.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast room of Beheading Demon. I am your temporary anchor, Mr. Justice. Now, let us experience our star live broadcast—— Justice Beheading Demon!"

It's better to come by chance than to come well.

When the audience in the live broadcast room was frightened by the mask and black armbands that suddenly appeared on the camera, they suddenly turned the camera in a different direction, showing an amazing scene in the room.

A plump Atel, with his upper body bare, was looking at the camera in horror, and a light green dazzling arc flashed past his neck.

And behind him is the masked man who is obviously male!

The head was falling to the ground, and while drying up, it bounced twice on the ground, face up.

The expression of shock and disbelief, and the eyes that refused to close for a long time, were all transmitted to the live broadcast room, causing countless screams and bullet screens.

That desperate and dazed expression seemed to be questioning why he had encountered bad luck, why he had died when he obviously didn't feel anything.

"Crack!"

While turning off the live camera, Zheng Li took a step forward, just avoiding the bowstring that fell down.

Yes, the bowstring is right, with enough psychic infusion, there is no essential difference between a sharp bowstring and a blade.

What's more, this is a magic bow that betrays the expectations of the sword master and is completely enchanted!

That fierce chop directly created a ditch in the shape of a knife mark on the ground.

"Hey, Master Haiyi, it's so late, and I'm still buying fish. Would you like me to introduce you to a good fishing ground with a lot of stupid fish?"

　Well, it's still a few chapters, so I posted it together for the sake of coherence.
