Chapter 427: Number Zero Appears

Everyone in 01 on the SUV is still in shock. Although snipers were dispatched last time at the ski resort Black Nest, they were not the ones who were sniped at that time, and the feeling was not so strong. This time the iron fist fell to the ground, and the splashed plasma remained On Zhang Heng's shirt, it really made them realize what it was like to brush shoulders with death.

Everyone, including Leia, bowed and squatted under the seats, fearing that the bullets flying from nowhere with their heads exposed would take their lives.

Two minutes later, Zhang Heng held the steering wheel and said, "Okay, you can look up, we are safe for the time being."

"Uh... are you sure?" Vardy, "I heard that his sniper range is very far. How far did he shoot at the ski resort?"

"We are in the city now, not an empty environment like a ski resort." Zhang Heng explained patiently, "The route I chose is covered by the buildings on the street, and snipers can't lock us."

"That's good." Waldo finally felt relieved and returned to his seat.

Although he was out of danger, the man with the ponytail did not look very good, and said, "Those people are not coming for us, but for Edward, which means that Black Nest's patience has finally been exhausted. Let’s resolve this matter peacefully.”

"Edward is in a very dangerous situation now, we must find him before Black Nest." The semi-prime also rarely spoke.

"But the only person who knew his whereabouts just died in front of us."

As soon as the little boy uttered these words, everyone fell into silence again. Among the people present, the man with the ponytail was the oldest, but he was not yet forty years old, and he hadn't had much contact with death. In the struggle between them, they have witnessed two "deaths".

Among them, the ponytail man miraculously survived by diving from the bridge, but this time Iron Fist is really dead and cannot die again.

"I've been thinking about a question along the way just now, how did the people from Black Nest find this place." Philip, who hadn't spoken before, also said at this time.

"Um?"

"No one knows Edward's ability better than us, but the guy who died just a few minutes ago said that their residence was raided by the Black Nest people two weeks ago, and with Edward's character, he will definitely be more serious after this. Be careful, and try to find out why and take defensive measures, but even so, Black Nest found him after only two weeks."

"You want to say that someone betrayed Edward?" The little boy raised his eyebrows, "There are not many people Edward can trust at this time, and that guy named Iron Fist is definitely not possible, after all, he is already, uh... like that , so only Mr. Gilm is left, but considering what happened to his son's family before, it is unlikely that he will stand on the side of Black Nest."

"I'm not saying that there must be an insider, but that there should be something that allows the people of Black Nest to find Edward." Philip sighed, "Unfortunately, we don't know what that thing is."

"It's CTOS." Zhang Heng, who was driving, interrupted suddenly.

"Um?"

"Black Nest connected CTOS to this city."

Everyone in 01 looked at each other after hearing the words, "...Isn't this impossible? Isn't the CTOS not completed yet, and generally speaking, such a project needs to be approved by the parliament first."

"CTOS does have a considerable number of functions that have not been completed, and the algorithm has not been adjusted to the optimum, but the part of the system used to collect citizen information has been built as early as half a year ago. Theoretically, this castrated version of the system already has The conditions for going online... As for the issue of legality, Black Nest is indeed not authorized by the parliament, but they are very powerful in Toulouse, and the city council is all their people. They got a document signed by the mayor, allowing them to Do some preliminary pilot work in Toulouse."

"What is the preliminary experimental work?"

"This is where the problem lies. There is no definition of this part in the document, so Black Nest can play freely on this point."

"Including launching CTOS silently without telling the public?" Leia's eyes widened.

"That's probably the case at the moment."

One of the questions that Zhang Heng wanted to figure out most before leaving the parallel instance was what the zero number in the main mission was. He didn't get an answer from 01, and he didn't get much information about Edward's murder of Leia and others. Valuable information, Zhang Heng spent half a month interviewing some insiders at the time, but did not gain much, until he took great risks to sneak into the headquarters of Black Nest on the last day and found a report on the early days of ctos. According to the research and development records, it is known that Black Nest secretly launched an unfinished version of the ctos system to capture Edward back then.

The name of this system is Number Zero.

However, the online time of No. 0 recorded in the document is two weeks later, so there is still a lot of time left for Zhang Heng's activities, but he does not know whether the online time of No. 0 has been advanced because of the player's behavior.

The people from Black Nest raided Edward's room two weeks ago, proving that Zero has started working at least a month earlier.

"Okay, so what we are facing now is a city that has been monitored by Black Nest." Philip took two deep breaths, "Let me think about what we can do at this time?"

"Can you hack into the ctos system?" the man with the ponytail asked Waldo.

"I don't know, Edward once chatted with me about ctos. The intelligent security system of ctos was built by him and a few other very powerful guys. It can be continuously improved through learning. He boasted that he could not break it even by himself. But you guys know me, I don’t think there is a place in this world that I can’t go to, but it will take time, maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months, and they may still track me, no, it should be said that with the help of ctos , which is bound to happen.”

"I can hack into ctos." Zhang Heng said, "Of course, it's just the broken version."

In the later parallel copy, a group of hackers headed by 01 fought a long war against Black Nest. During this period, the hackers also achieved some phased victories. An upgrade, in the end, only makes ctos more perfect, even almost perfect, which is what makes hackers feel desperate.

But it is not twelve years later, and the zero number is only the initial version of ctos, and it does have some loopholes.

In the two months before in the small town, Zhang Heng made far more preparations than everyone in 01 had seen.
