Chapter 461 Chapter 458 Retracing the Path of the Past

"Hey, have you changed into new clothes?"

As a "big brother" who also learned super-calculated martial arts and practiced seven dodges, Ge Gongdao could see the extraordinary quality of Zhuang Xuteng's armored jacket at just one glance. He walked around from behind the desk, stretched out his hand to touch the material, weighed it, and looked up and down with a frown.

"It feels weird. What kind of fabric is this? Are you looking for a custom-made weight-bearing training jacket? Are you ready to gain muscle?"

"You didn't see it?" Zhuang Xuteng turned around in a circle to let Ge Gongdao have a clear look.

Ge Gongdao shook his head and said, "I've never seen this clothes before. Where did you get it from, the black market or a wonton stand?"

"As long as you can't see it - I found someone to copy it, just because I'm afraid the original version will come out and cause trouble for me." Zhuang Xuteng is training his body to adapt to the weight of the new clothes, so he does exercises every chance he gets: leg raises, squats, air Chair squats, lateral raises... In Ge Gongdao's office on the moat, no one will disturb them, so doing these movements will not attract any attention.

"Okay, are you taking all the time to train to improve your physical fitness and prepare to break through the eight dodges?"

"It's not that fast! There is no shortcut from seven flashes to eight flashes. We can only keep training to let the nervous system get used to the added senses. Being sent to the hospital by Colonel Taft this time at least made me understand one thing: the nervous system "How slow is the recovery and growth rate?" Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said: "Besides, the seven flashes I practiced are no longer the seven flashes of Master. I don't know if I will still have eight flashes if I continue to practice like this...Brother Dao. ,How are you?"

"It's good that I can keep it up without deteriorating now! Without field missions, I can't be nervous and the training effect will be very poor. And there are so many social activities now, it's annoying!" Ge Gongdao squeezed his fist and squeezed his biceps. , patted the bulging muscles with his palm, and said: "But I have not given up on progress. I will train for at least an hour every day. After these two months, I will be able to increase the training time. Of course, The best exercise is to go on a mission.”

"Brother Dao, haven't you considered developing in Moat? From executive director to director, and then become general manager or even the big boss here?"

Ge Gongdao snorted from his nose and said: "No. I have thought about this problem, but this is definitely not my destination. Even though I have the title of director, I am actually a puppet of various major shareholders. Although the major shareholders are the middlemen and the mercenaries work for the middlemen, the work they do is different and the working atmosphere is also different. I would rather wash my hands in the mercenary position than choose to start here. What a false cause.”

"If you have that kind of idea, just tell me in advance." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged, took the opportunity to finish what he wanted to say, and then stopped dwelling on this dangerous topic: "What do you think of Lucy's assignment this time? What suggestions do you have for the two of us?"

"Suggestion? No, is it considered a job to go to 'Treasury Manager' Rafat to buy things? I think Lucy can handle this matter by herself, and there is no need for the two of us to do anything."

"Sister Lucy said that she and Rafat had some misunderstandings in the past, and she might make him raise the price. You are familiar with him, and he still owes you a favor." Zhuang Xuteng said with a smile: "With a budget of 250,000 euros, The money you save belongs to you and you should earn it.”

Ge Gongdao twisted his mouth and asked without comment, "Do you have any tasks recently?"

"I've always had a task. I showed up at the Fengchi Arena before, and I just had three days of rest. Now I have to prepare for the next job." Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said, "This time the job is very difficult, and I'm a little bit Terrified."

"Why don't you ask me to help?"

"It's not a battle difficulty, nor does it require flying a plane or other dangerous driving, but a technical problem. Brother Dao, asking you to go won't solve the technical problem at all. At most, it can give me some psychological comfort, such as: Don't be discouraged, you Not the dumbest in the world."

Ge Gongdao shook his fist and said: "Don't be a bad mouth, you bad habit! If you have something to say, just say it. Do you really don't need me to be your back-up?"

"No. The part I'm responsible for this time needs to be infiltrated alone. It doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment. The main difficulty lies in the subsequent technical cracking, which I don't know how to do. Moreover, the electromagnetic environment there is special. Special tools are required to interact with Nightingale and Nightingale. They establish contact, and this tool must have the effects of reconnaissance, movement and information relay transmission at the same time.”

"So Lucy wants to buy something from Lafat?" Gongdao pinched his nose and said, "Okay, for the sake of making money, I'll give him a call. But this favor can still be dispensed with. No, it might be of great use in the future. That 'treasurer' likes to collect all kinds of good things, and I'm still thinking about getting something good from him for us, not for Lucy. "

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "I agree. I am just a follower in this matter. I will listen to you how to do it."

Brother Dao immediately called Rafat, but he waited for a while before the other party picked up the phone. Judging from the tone of the conversation between the two people, they were quite warm, making harmless jokes with each other, and they indeed sounded like old friends with a long-standing friendship.

Why are you suddenly looking for Rafat? In fact, we are still preparing for the "New·Pin Operation". Meteor found the "hair needle" left in the system by analyzing Dua's old files. If these wedges arranged by predecessors are used, the difficulty of the entire task can be greatly reduced, and there is hope for the group of people who have been reduced to Lucy's organization. Completed levels.

After careful analysis, she and her mother redesigned the action plan based on the past and current technical levels. The basic framework is still based on the past "Operation Pin Insertion". Four groups of people went to four nodes to implement technical penetration or system destruction. When assigning specific tasks, Lucy and Meteor discovered that Zhuang Xuteng would encounter a particularly difficult situation.

Zhuang Xuteng's mission target is Otto Information Service Corporation, which has always been the network outsourcing maintenance service provider for the resident identity authentication system. When the system is invaded, the engineers here will provide technical support through telephone guidance, remote operation or door-to-door service. It is equivalent to the system's alarm receiving and dispatching center. In the "Operation Pin Insertion", Otto Company should not feel huge pressure and pay too much attention to this invasion, nor should Otto Company do nothing, so as to produce the appropriate "shock echo" required for the action. Therefore, someone must sneak in and tamper with Otto Company's alarm receiving system in order to technically control the situation here.

In Duva's plan, this position requires a person who is proficient in both stealth and electronic technology. Duva has such a person, but Lucy does not.

In terms of stealth, Zhuang Xuteng has absolutely no problem; in terms of technology, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow also have no problem, but if both have problems, there will be problems. Relatively speaking, stealth is the first step and the foundation. Without stealth penetration ability, there will be no follow-up. And as long as the stealth ability is good, not only can you enter safely, but you can also come out safely. Even if the technology fails, there will be no loss of people. Therefore, only Zhuang Xuteng is responsible for stealth and solves his technical problems. Nightingale and Rock Sparrow cannot be allowed to take risks with technology to sneak.

The best solution is of course remote technical guidance. Ten years ago, Du Wa’s communication technology could not support high-definition and high-speed signal transmission, which is not a problem today. However, Ott Information Service Corporation fully considered electromagnetic isolation in the architectural design. The place where Zhuang Xuteng wants to sneak in, the building materials and architecture cooperate with each other, can shield most of the communication frequencies, and form a "dead zone" for communication signals.

Fortunately, this "dead zone" is in quotation marks. It does not really kill all signals, and some frequencies can still pass through. According to the research done by Du Wa and others for the pin-insertion plan, the military special communication radio station can allow the signal to be transmitted in a corner.

Back then, this kind of radio was a controlled product, and the difficulty of obtaining it was about the same as a set of military implants. The situation has improved a lot now, and you can occasionally see that series of products on the black market. However, except for some researchers and collectors during the company's war, no one would be interested in products with such poor usage scenarios, and even middlemen would not stock up on a set. Even from the perspective of "just in case", the probability of this "just in case" is too low.

"A radio that can support the RQ protocol standard of very low frequency multi-parallel channels in Pw mode." Liuxing asked Zhuang Xuteng to remember this name in his mind and told him not to buy the wrong one. In addition, they asked the black market channel dealers they had cooperated with for a long time and knew that there was no such equipment on the market at present, but some collectors should have it, such as Rafat.

Lucy and Rafat had conflicts because they were opponents in the mission. Later, because both of them had tough personalities, they had some unpleasant words, which made the rift between the two wider and deeper. Because of the reputation and interests involved, neither side wanted to give in first, and at the same time they were not interested in doing things that would further damage their interests, so their relationship froze. Even though they would meet at the shareholders' meeting of the Moat Security Company, they just ignored each other as if they didn't exist.

But the mission required this thing, and it had to be obtained as soon as possible, so Rafat couldn't be avoided. Fortunately, Ge Gongdao had helped Rafat before, and the two had a very good relationship. In the Moat Company, Ge Gongdao could influence Rafat's ideas and some decisions. So Lucy asked Ge Gongdao to act as the middleman between the two middlemen to facilitate the deal.

"Rafat has the goods, let's go get it, 220,000 can be obtained, the price is quite fair." Ge Gongdao put down the phone.

Zhuang Xuteng kept squatting in the air, tilted his head and stared at Dao Ge, saying: "You should be happy about the good news. Why are you so happy when you call, but frowned after hanging up?"

"From Rafat's tone, I feel that he is not in a good mood, as if he has encountered difficulties." He waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about him for now, get the things. I will ask him if he needs any help, maybe I can get a mercenary commission!"

Zhuang Xuteng raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why, are your hands itchy?"

"A little bit." Ge Gongdao clenched his fists and rubbed his shoulders, saying: "I stayed in the hospital for a month, and then I was trapped in the office. I really want to find something to do now. Do you know that the skin and flesh will itch when the wound recovers? I feel that way now."

"Itchy... How could I not know this? When we were soaking in the pool of insect potion, if it wasn't too painful, we would laugh out loud because of the itch. At that time, I was most afraid of laughing or crying first and being laughed at by you." Zhuang Xuteng cherished that memory and was very emotional every time he turned it over. "Brother Dao, if there is no mission this time, I will fight with you and let you exercise your body."

"Okay! Just don't fight into the pool. I have a meeting and you have a mission." Gongdao Ge took out the car keys from the drawer and said, "Let's go in my car, so that Rafat won't think Lucy is involved."

Zhuang Xuteng was Lucy's mercenary. If he was the leader, Rafat would insist on making Lucy surrender before discussing business. Brother Dao is different. He also has the identity of the director of Moat Company and is also Rafat's favor creditor. As long as Brother Dao doesn't mention Lucy, then Lafat won't bring it up. You know, if Rafat insists on letting Lucy come forward in front of Brother Dao, it will turn out that he "very much needs" Lucy to give him face, which is tantamount to losing face.

When it comes to the details of human relations, Ge Gongdao has rich experience. He drove a moat company car and asked Zhuang Xuteng, his junior brother, to be his "secretary and bodyguard", and rushed to Lafat's office in a hurry. This guy's side business is a food cold chain transportation business. He has a transportation company with forty trucks, as well as corresponding warehouses and transshipment centers. His nickname is "Treasury Manager", partly because he likes collecting, and partly because of his side business.

He met Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng in the office. When he came up, he gave Ge Gongdao a bear hug, and then entertained them with good wine and cigarettes. After a while, his men brought up a box. Rafat opened the box with his own hands. Inside was the special radio station that Lucy and Meteor needed.

"I tried it when I bought it. It was usable, and then I kept it. This thing is just a decoration for me, in order to make my legendary Flame Flag Army equipment collection into a series. But later, the Flame Flag Army was The scandal was revealed, and I was very sad, so I had to sell it to get some blood." Rafat patted the radio and said, "The price was negotiated on the phone, 220,000, and you can take it away, or..."

Since Rafat's hand was still pressed on the radio, indicating that he didn't want to let go for the time being, Gogongdao immediately made a long face and said: "Or what? Or do you want to talk without counting?"

"No, of course not!" Rafat quickly raised his hand, gave way to the radio station, and said: "I just want to say: You two are both well-known mercenaries. Are you willing to make some money and do something better than this?" Better and more advanced equipment?”

Ge Gongdao first put the radio back into the box and handed it to Zhuang Xuteng. Then he glanced at Rafat and said, "Old friend, if it is a good thing to make money, you can leave it to your own mercenaries. To be honest, Are you in trouble?"

"No, you misunderstood. It's not trouble, but pure bad luck. One of my warehouses was stolen. It contained not only my things, but also some trophies that my mercenaries put here for me to sell on my behalf. I totally have it. Enough money is given to the mercenaries to prevent them from suffering losses, but isn’t it just a pure loss for me?”

Well...if even the items consigned by the mercenaries under my command were stolen, it would really be hard for my mercenaries to find them. Although it is possible to get it back, it will definitely affect the confidence of the mercenaries the next time they come to him for consignment. And there is another problem. If the mercenary suddenly decides not to sell it and comes back to ask for something from him, it will also add variables to the matter.

"Among the lost things is a classic model PTG with a complete radio function. Are you interested?" Rafat said quickly, fearing that the two of them would leave immediately.
