Chapter 729 Big Business?

"What's the situation?" The data terminal stopped tossing his eyes and asked through the mental connection.

"The beacon has been blocked," Hao Ren said with a very serious face, "the drone group did not receive any navigation signals."

"No navigation signal? Is the signal received but no navigation information, or is the communication not even established at all?"

Hao Ren immediately asked the drone group, and the answer he received was that the drone group had intermittently received information from some beacons a few minutes ago, but there was no data that could be used for navigation in this information. However, these intermittently received messages a few minutes ago. Signal transmission was also completely disrupted.

He frowned slightly: "Our beacon transmitter has stopped. Now I can still contact it from here. It is on standby on the tallest building in the black street, but the system shows that the channel between the beacon and the outer universe is faulty. "Communication between the drone swarm and the beacon lasted only four and a half minutes and transmitted little of value."

The data terminal thought for a moment and shouted: "Hel this machine up!"

Hao Ren carried "her" to the communication device so that the latter could see the display parameters on it. After studying the data terminal for a while, he said in frustration: "I just remembered that the slots of this machine are gone now. It seems that there is no way to connect to this thing, right..."

Hao Ren suddenly said: "Can you be more reliable!"

"In any case, it seems impossible to use beacons to navigate," the data terminal ignored Hao Ren's anger, "This still makes it impossible to determine the location of the planet 'Droam'. What are you going to do next?"

"Launch a probe," Hao Ren replied without hesitation. "If 'Zroam' is shrouded in a layer of twisted space, then this range should be limited. Let's launch a probe into space from here to see if it can fly." How far. If the detector doesn't work either, then take the Giant Turtle Yantai with you the next time you come in, and I'll drive the spacecraft out."

The two men immediately began to study the next step of launching the detector. Because they did not want to attract unnecessary attention, they decided to wait until evening and then take the opportunity to leave the mercenary group station and go to the suburbs to release the detector. But just as they were finishing their discussion, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the barracks.

Hao Ren opened the alloy shutters on the side of the small room. Through the window, he saw many mercenaries running around in the open space of the Corps outside, and an armored vehicle full of bullet holes was driving in from the direction of the camp gate. After the armored vehicle stopped, The first person to jump down from the top was someone he knew: an unusually tall man who looked like a bodybuilding champion. It was the mercenary Karl whom he had met on the first day.

"Looks like something is going to happen?" Hao Ren whispered, "Nolan seems to be out too."

"This machine can't be seen! You have to play your necrophiliac role well. At this time, you should put this machine on your back and watch the fun!"

"You wait in the room," Hao Ren said casually to the data terminal, "I'll go out and check the situation."

After saying that, he ran out, and the voice of the data terminal echoed in his mind: "You should take over the visual sharing of this computer! You let this computer play here looking at the ceiling? Hey, don't leave! Where’s the professionalism of the necrophiliac?!”

After Hao Ren ran outside, he saw Ulanov standing in front. He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "What's going on?"

"Karl came back from Zero City and may have brought big business," Ulanov said without looking back, "He is the liaison between us and Zero City."

Hao Ren glanced at the tall and powerful mercenary Karl in front of him, and thought to himself that such a taciturn, burly man was actually Gray Fox's diplomat - Nolan's selection criteria were based on metaphysics, right?

At this time, the surrounding mercenaries gave way, and Nolan walked out from behind the crowd. Hao Ren noticed that her walking pace was still slightly uncoordinated, but it was basically back to normal. However, she had broken a bone not long ago - he had to sigh at the incredible nano-medical technology in this world.

"Boss, the White River Chamber of Commerce has a business," Karl lowered his head to Nolan, "I hope we can escort a few people."

"Escort?" Nolan raised his eyebrows, "That's why that old man asked you to come over? Are all his security guards dead?"

"What does Lily Chamber of Commerce do?" Hao Ren muttered to Ulanov next to him in a low voice, "What's the Ji Base Camp?"

Ulanov: "Huh?"

After hearing Hao Ren's question, a mercenary introduced from the side: "The Baihe Chamber of Commerce is one of the bosses of Zero City. They control a quarter of the security forces in Zero City. It stands to reason that military operations in Zero City and the Black Street area They don’t need to ask for help from a mercenary group.”

Faced with Nolan's inquiry, Karl quickly responded: "The scope of this activity is not around Zero City and the Black Street, and the security corps cannot be dispatched."

Nolan immediately became alert: "Where do they want us to send people?"

"...The ruins of the Northland Ring Tower."

The surrounding mercenaries immediately became commotion when they heard the name of the place. Nolan waved his hand without hesitation: "I won't accept this order."

Almost at the same time as Nolan finished speaking, another rough and deep voice came from the crowd: "I want to go!"

Hao Ren looked to his side in surprise: it was Ulanov who spoke just now.

"You want to go to the Northland Ring Tower, are you sure?" Nolan looked at Ulanov, with no emotion in his indifferent gray eyes, "That place is a restricted area of ​​life."

"But you came out of there alive, more than once," Ulanov looked at Nolan through his visor without giving in. "The Gray Fox knows the safe route, doesn't it? Otherwise the White River Chamber of Commerce I won’t approach you to do this business.”

"You also know that this is business," Nolan raised his arms and crossed his chest. "As a businessman, I can't do business at a loss. I have been to that damn place three times, and every time I lost a lot of money. In the end, Unfortunately, only three people came back alive. So I won’t accept this business.”

At this time, Karl suddenly said from the side: "The Baihe Chamber of Commerce is offering a very high price this time."

Nolan's eyebrows moved, and Karl bent down and whispered some details in her ear. At this moment, Hao Ren quickly grabbed Ulanov: "What is that Northland Ring Tower... Uh, why are you Do you have to go to that place?”

Hao Ren almost asked what the "Northland Ring Tower" was, but thinking about the mercenaries' reactions, he realized that this should be a famous place, and asking rashly would appear too ignorant, so he temporarily changed the question.

Ulanov was silent for a moment before speaking: "...It has nothing to do with you, I just want to take a look."

He and Hao Ren were far from familiar, so he didn't want to go into details about many things.

Hao Ren said regretfully, but then he heard the voice of the data terminal suddenly coming to his mind: "Northland Ring Tower? Do you want this machine to help you check the information?"

"You?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, "What can you do in this state? Aren't you unable to move anything except your eyeballs?"

"This machine successfully stood up just now! Although only one leg is functional..."

Hao Ren suddenly coughed violently, and the sudden movement attracted frequent glances from the surrounding mercenaries. He quickly waved his hand to apologize, then lowered his head to hide the surprised look on his face: "You stood up? In just a moment, you mastered the ability to move?"

"Isn't this machine so talented?" the voice of the data terminal said triumphantly, "It's just a shell. This machine has a dozen hard drives programmed in simulation language. Now it can move... What do you think? Do you want me to help you look up information? I’m almost in front of my laptop.”

Hao Ren only gave the terminal three words: "Check it quickly."

By this time, Karl had finished whispering to Nolan. The latter frowned and thought, and after a long time he looked around at the mercenaries: "Okay, I don't force you to participate in this mission, but as long as those who participate come back alive, you can Get an ecological residence in Zero City.”

This is the "high price" offered by the Baihe Chamber of Commerce.

Hao Ren didn't know how much an ecological residence was worth in this world, but looking at the reactions of the people around him, he realized that it was probably an astonishing wealth.

The data terminal also quickly transmitted the information it found: "Found it - the Northland Ring Tower was the control center when the nanomachine group went out of control sixty-five years ago. That place has been preserved until now. Three 'Masters' The computers are still buried under them!"
