From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

Sprint,

jump!

Sasha was agile and flipped over the front desk table like a civet cat and landed lightly on the ground.

Almost at the same time, a breeze blew by her side, and V's figure quietly fell beside her.

If someone could witness the whole process, they would be shocked to find that although their body sizes are different, every subtle movement is amazingly consistent, as if the body and the shadow are perfectly synchronized.

After passing the first line of defense, they faced the second challenge - a high-precision security scanner.

A total of six scanners form three layers of defense in the corridor leading to the interior, making it extremely difficult for employees without gun permits to bring weapons into the company.

Fortunately, neither of them carried any weapons, so as long as they were careful to avoid being detected, they could enter the building quietly.

After successfully walking through the corridor, they arrived at the rest area.

"Pure White: The first floor is an entertainment and rest area, which is of no value. Go up the stairs on the left and go directly to the third floor. Find a private office for a middle-level manager, preferably a department manager or project manager. Be careful to avoid drones and security robots."

"V: I'll lead the way this time, Sasha, follow me closely."

"Sasha: Uh… okay!"

Sasha thought she was an agent-type hacker who was good at infiltration, but she didn't expect that V, who always liked to fight head-on, was better than her. She was really an all-rounder in combat...

First Look: Chapter 194: Successful Infiltration, the Truth is Before Our Eyes

In the next three minutes, Sasha experienced the most inexplicable yet smoothest infiltration in his life.

V led her around the office area on the third floor, turning left and right, sometimes turning around and making a small circle. But even with such a strange route, they didn't encounter any drones or security robots.

She felt that the two of them were like tourists visiting the company's open day, striding leisurely in the office area, and even had the leisure to observe the employee offices behind the panoramic glass curtain wall.

Under the high ceiling, rows of densely packed cubicles are arranged like a honeycomb. Every inch of space is carefully designed to focus on efficiency, but it makes people feel inexplicably depressed.

Sasha had become accustomed to the comfortable life in the large flat, and just seeing the scenes in these compartments made him feel like he was suffering from claustrophobia.

“Sasha: The office environment in big companies is not good either. It makes me feel suffocated just looking at it.”

"Leo: The consequence of blindly pursuing the highest efficiency is to exploit people like machines. I will definitely not do this when I start a company in the future."

“V: In Night City, it’s great to be able to work in this kind of environment. You don’t have to worry about where to eat, or about the flying bullets and cyber madmen everywhere.”

The relaxed and joyful discussion continued for a while, and V interrupted the chatter.

“V: We’ve arrived at our destination. There’s a manager’s office in front!”

Leo looked over when he heard that, and indeed, he saw an office that looked very high-end.

Although the area is not as large as a collective office, it has its own door and the glass is not transparent, which protects the personal privacy of managers.

Sasha carefully looked around and saw that the surveillance cameras in this area were all undergoing upgrades and maintenance, so he boldly walked to the door and secretly opened the heavy security door of the manager's office.

After entering, she hesitated and whispered, "V, should we lock the door? It will increase security, but it will also leave more traces."

V shook his head. "No need. I'll just stand behind the door. Feel free to go get the information."

Sasha nodded, and once again felt the superiority of working in a team - with reliable teammates providing cover, she felt much more at ease.

He walked quickly to the department manager's private computer.

She took off her vest, revealing her smooth, round shoulders and arms. She did this not for beauty, but to allow her skin to be in contact with the air as much as possible to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

Even the dark purple leather jumpsuit she was wearing was actually a disguised black jacket, specifically designed to enhance heat dissipation.

The next step is to access your personal connection.

This time she couldn't use the portable data cable on her wrist. Breaking through the data fortress of a large company, even from the weakest intranet, was not an easy task. She needed the assistance of professional hacking equipment.

When I opened the large handbag, there was only one item inside besides the mobile phone and the jammer, but this neatly stacked item filled the bag to the brim.

Cyber Eyepiece - Also known as the hacker headband, it can help hackers deeply perceive the three-dimensional network space and interact with it. It is usually modified from the Super Dream Experience Helmet.

But hers is different. It was purchased from a hacker equipment store and is a professional-grade device produced by Kangtao.

Using this device can achieve a greater amount of data transmission, but the cost is that the load on the body will increase exponentially with the depth and length of time of diving. In the small circle of network hackers, from time to time, there will be tragic stories about some unlucky guy roasting his brain.

However, Sasha did not have such worries because she had another stronger hacker as her assistant, and the pressure was basically transferred to Pure White.

She connected the thick and long data cable like an optical cable behind the cyber eyepiece to the computer case, adjusted the angle of the eyepiece body, and connected the other end to the data interface behind her head.

This is something only professional hackers would dare to use—a high-capacity neural interface directly to the occipital lobe.

Click.

The access is successful and all preparations are completed.

She adjusted the position of her computer chair so that she was facing the computer screen.

The next second, a dazzling light lit up in the eyepiece, and her consciousness shuttled through the data channel and dived into cyberspace.

When her vision became clear again, Sasha was already in a dark space. Her body seemed to have become a light source, emitting a faint white glow.

As his consciousness moved, several virtual panels appeared in front of him.

Countless warning signs formed a chain, wrapped around the panel, flashing an aggressive red light.

This is the firewall of biotechnology, or the data fortress.

The firewalls that are as thick as the walls in front of me are already a weakened version for entering from the intranet. If an invasion is made from the external network, the thickness and strength of the protection will reach a very exaggerated level that will make people despair at the sight.

"Sasha: Start attacking the data fortress from the intranet. Let me see... This defense thickness will take about a minute and a half."

"Pure White: No problem. It has only taken 5 minutes and 37 seconds since the jammer was turned on. As long as you break through the data fortress, I will take care of the subsequent data collection. There is enough time."

"Leo: Don't push yourself too far. Leave yourself more time to evacuate."

"Pure White: Don't worry, the total mission duration will not exceed 20 minutes. I've left some time for it."

Leo felt relieved and turned to look out the window.

The company square was peaceful and there was no unusual movement.

There were no problems with Mann's team and Jack either, and everything went smoothly.

A long minute and a half passed.

Sasha opened her red lips slightly, exhaled a breath, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Sasha: It's done! Black has gone in! Can the pure white side see it?"

"Pure White: The signal is good, it's connected. Leave the rest to me."

The communication ended, and Sasha left cyberspace and returned to reality.

In front of her, dozens of different windows popped up simultaneously on three displays arranged in a circle, and began to transmit data to the data chip that Sasha had prepared in advance.

Sasha looked intently -

On the left, she was downloading data on Night City's water pollution; on the right, she was downloading data on existing aquatic plants; in the middle was the clinical trial report on the Safety Spirit that she had been thinking about;

The opportunity to uncover the truth about her mother's death was right in front of her, and her tension increased uncontrollably, like a hemp rope that quickly expanded after being soaked in water, constantly pressing on her heart.

"Mother……"

Sasha murmured unconsciously.

As the memories replayed in her mind, she seemed to see her younger self again, holding the box of SafeSpirit with a look of joy, delivering the "life-saving straw" to her seriously ill mother in bed.

The mother smiled gently, her eyes full of nostalgia and doting on her.

In the early stages of the medication, my mother's physical condition did improve, and she was even able to sit up and listen to her talk about interesting things that happened at school.

At that time, they also agreed that after she recovered from her illness, they would go for a walk together in Concord Park.

But just one week later, my mother's condition took a turn for the worse and she was dying...

First Show of Talent: Chapter 195 Sasha: "Got it, I'm a crappy hacker..."

Now, the truth was before her eyes, and she didn't want to wait even a second longer.

After putting away the cyber goggles and connecting the personal data cable on his wrist to the computer, Sasha decided to help Chunbai.

"Sasha: I'll also help process the data and complete the task as soon as possible!"

"Pure White: It's not necessary. You might as well take a break and prepare for evacuation."

"Sasha: No! I want to help!"

"Pure White: It's up to you..."

Sasha joins the hacker network despite dissuasion.

however,

As soon as her consciousness connected to the network, she was overwhelmed - dozens of windows running at the same time made her scalp tingle, and she didn't know where to start.

You know, although multitasking is a basic quality of professional hackers, it does not mean you should handle dozens of threads at the same time.

What does the brain have to look like to be able to split into dozens of parts, each doing its own thing...

"If you really want to help, then go and speed up the transfer of the data from the Safety Spirit. But let me make it clear in advance that you are still in a dangerous area, so it won't be too late to check the information when you return to the safe area."

Chunbai sent a text message and continued to process the data in an orderly manner.

Sasha was stunned for a moment, nodded slowly, and obediently went to look for the data of the safety spirit.

She finally realized that Chunbai was not alone and there must be a professional hacker team behind her.

Only this could reasonably explain what she had seen.

This kind of data processing efficiency and multi-threaded operation is impossible even for a level 5 hacker in Internet surveillance.

When she realized that her teammate had incredibly thick thighs, she gave up worrying about it and focused on the project she cared about most.

She has already mastered the basic hacker skills of receiving data, processing and transferring.

After a few seconds, Sasha's expression slowly changed, and confusion was written all over his little face.

She was clearly trying very hard to help, working so hard that her body temperature rose and her back started to sweat, but why... wasn't the data transmission speed significantly increased?

Judging from the filling speed of this progress bar, her addition only brought the completion time forward by a dozen seconds, which is truly dispensable.

Looking at the other windows around him that were running simultaneously, Sasha began to doubt his own professional qualities for the first time.

Is she actually... a really bad hacker?

*

Time passed and ten minutes went by quickly.

The main goal of this mission has been achieved, and Chunbai is rushing to collect interesting intelligence from the biotechnology company's database.

On the other side, Sasha and V were ready to evacuate.

Seeing this, Leo urged through the team channel: "It's almost twenty minutes, prepare to evacuate. This is just a trial run. If you really find information that interests you, you can come back next time."

"Pure White: Give me another 45 seconds. I'll download the data from this animal cloning experiment. This stuff is quite interesting and gave me some inspiration."

Leo had no choice but to remind V and Sasha to be more vigilant.

Another 45 seconds passed...

Finally, Chunbai reluctantly announced that the mission objective had been achieved and asked the infiltration team to evacuate.

Sasha and V sprang into action.

The former restored the desk to its original state and removed any traces of use on the computer, while the latter went out first to observe the movements in the corridor.

After Sasha had completely wiped off his fingerprints to make sure there was no risk of error, the two began to return the same way.

Since they had already walked here once when they came, it took them less than two minutes to evacuate. Led by V, they trotted out of the biotechnology building.

Apart from the fact that the data fortress was breached from the intranet, they did not leave any traces, which can be said to be a perfect infiltration.

When they returned to the bustling company square, their mindsets were different.

“V: That’s just how big a company is. We tricked them and found nothing!”

“Sasha: That’s right, this is the smoothest mission I’ve ever carried out!”

"Leo: Don't open the champagne at halftime. According to the original plan, you will go around the square halfway and return to the car from another route."

His worries later proved to be unnecessary.
