Chapter 465 Chapter 462 Flathead Brother

"The explosion eliminated the traces on the road, and they turned the wrong way."

Things are certainly not that simple. There are many other reasons that caused the other party to turn the wrong way and lose the tracking of the two-car combination: including but not limited to them guiding the traffic by controlling the traffic lights, cutting into the other party's communication system to release misleading voices, and attracting PCPD in a specific direction by making false alarms to scare the black market and the mercenaries who followed up...

In short, with the concerted efforts of everyone, Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao successfully drove the two cars back to Rafat's base, and sent the van without the cab roof to the warehouse according to the instructions. Rafat smiled and enthusiastically handed the cigars to the two. The two took the cigars, put them in their pockets, and said with a smile: "Let's see what we got back?"

"Okay, okay, of course we should do this!" Rafat was still smiling, he knew that some things were seen through but not pointed out. Naike and Daoge took the cigar but didn't smoke it. This was out of caution to prevent being drugged and knocked unconscious, which would cause them to suffer losses in the subsequent inventory and liquidation work. Rafat had no intention of harming them or blackmailing them, but he also fully understood their temporary distrust. Well, cooperation is the most important thing. As long as the cooperation is more and better, the relationship will naturally become richer.

Opening the rear door of the carriage, several boxes were placed inside. The boxes were intact, but they were slightly shifted during the bumpy return journey. Rafat glanced at it and found that all the boxes he had lost were here. At least the number was aligned, and it depended on whether the things inside were intact. "Let's deal with the flat-headed brother first and solve the most important thing, how about it?"

"Okay!" Daoge nodded. Although there was no sensational close combat in this mercenary mission, he was addicted and was in a good mood. In particular, Zhuang Xuteng also told him the truth: "With the level of supercomputing martial arts seven flashes, there are only very few people among the mercenaries and gangs who can make you fight. The temporary assigned tasks are not very difficult in terms of combat. We can meet a fun guy, and there is a sense of novelty, which is already an excellent work experience."

Indeed, this is the fact. Ge Gongdao also remembered what his master said. One of his reasons for retirement is: except for fighting hard in disadvantaged situations, it is difficult to encounter fun tasks with just the right challenge. Even in the middleman war, the master killed from the first floor to the top floor alone, as if every weekend, he went shopping in the supermarket.

You can't just attack the company building to die just to challenge yourself, right?

Ge Gongdao was quite satisfied with the experience of this mission. He drove an armored vehicle and towed a truck on the snowy road to escape pursuit, and also found time to kill a rather strange enemy. It was enough for him to reminisce for a while. Next, it should be a happy time of harvest, so he said: "Rafat, don't play tricks, we are both watching!"

"Don't worry, you are so efficient, I hope to continue to cooperate with you!" Rafat walked to a slightly smaller box, touched and pressed on its surface, and was not sure what mechanism he touched, but the box opened upwards with a click.

He stretched his arms and pulled out a metal box with a combination lock the size of a suitcase, and carefully placed it in front of the two. "This is the flat-headed brother, the specific model... take a look for yourself! I guess you haven't seen this thing before, and you don't know the difference between the various models. Do you want me to demonstrate it to you?"

"Of course I need it, thank you." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and nodded.

Rafat opened the box and placed four things in the black soft foam plastic: an eight-legged, spider-shaped flat-headed brother body, a multi-joystick controller with a display, a zombie signal head ring, and an extra battery pack.

"When using it, first control pairing. It is said that there are 3 billion combinations of the pairing key, and it can be modified in the middle, so it is quite safe. The operation is also very simple, just dial here, and then touch here." Rafat picked up the remote control and pointed, and then pointed at the spider.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the "Flathead" quickly started. Rafat used his fingers to pry open a small cover in the middle of the back of the Flathead, and showed the two people the hidden indicator lights inside: "It is designed to facilitate hiding and infiltration. There is no light-emitting device on its surface, and the whole is matte coating. The indicator lights are hidden here, and you can see the remaining power, self-test results, network connection mode and status indicator lights. Look, there is 85% power left, and it is currently using a single handle remote control."

Rafat picked up the handle and gently pushed the joystick. The Flathead shook, squeezed the soft foam cushion, and used a lot of effort to prop itself up. Then, it staggered forward, and when it came to the edge of the box, it didn't stop, and suddenly fell down, and it was a dog chewing shit. Fortunately, the Flathead Brother is a military device, and its sturdiness is beyond doubt. It staggered and climbed up again.

"This thing is difficult to operate. It is said to be more complicated than driving a main battle tank by one person. You have to read the manual carefully and practice more. But you are very good at fighting, and your body control and reaction speed will definitely keep up, at least much better than me." Rafat sighed and said, "If it weren't so difficult to operate, the Flathead Brother would basically be the best battlefield companion equipment."

Compared to the handle operation, Zhuang Xuteng cares more about the "zombie headband". He pointed to the headband device with twelve telescopic antennas and asked, "That is also an operating device, right?"

"Yes, it is for zombies, a special zombie connection antenna with both transceiver and transmitter control." Rafat said: "People with zombie physiques have a common characteristic, which is that they do not reject external neural signals, especially action control signals. The user puts on the helmet and transmits nerve signals to the person with a zombie body, so that he can use his body to perform various actions. "

Rafat shook the handle and said: "The control terminal is still here. It only needs to issue simple instructions such as forward and backward. At this time, Brother Flathead will send the scene conditions collected by the sensor to the head through an encrypted channel. Ring, enter the brain of the zombie physique operator, all calculations will be carried out in the brain, and then the specific action control results will be transmitted back, and the flat-headed brother can move accurately. "

Ge Gongdao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "How can a two-legged person operate an eight-legged machine? Can the brain respond?"

"The flathead brother does not need all eight legs to move. As long as it has three legs and no longer on the same side, it can move forward, backward, left and right. The extra legs are to adapt to various terrains, especially lying on the ceiling - these legs They all have an adsorption effect and require six or more to be hung on most ceilings. Please read the instructions for details!

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "I understand how it moves. What about its communication relay function? You said this thing is better than the radio station we ordered before."

"Of course, don't worry, this flat-headed brother is fully modular, absolutely no problem." Rafat reached out to pick up the flat-headed brother, put it back in the box, patted it and ordered it to standby, and then said: "Army The products used are definitely higher than those used by civilians and police, but generally not as good as those used by the company. But for this thing, the company has shown real skills. In such a small size, the communication module can only use the best, and the mobile module can only use the best. Use the smallest one. Unless you compare it with the equipment currently used within the company, it is the best in terms of communication functions. However, its power is limited and it cannot communicate over medium and long distances.”

"What is the general operating range and communication?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"If there is no obstruction, the operating signal within one kilometer is full, and the communication signal within two kilometers is full. The bandwidth used by the zombie headband is larger and the signal is more complex, so it is easier to attenuate than simple communication." Rafat said : "The rest depends on the specific environment. Blockage inside the building will definitely affect it, as well as the complex electromagnetic environment, all of which will have an impact. Pay more attention to the signal strength when operating, and then make a judgment based on experience."

Zhuang Xuteng reached out and touched Brother Flathead. Its rough matte surface gave him a vivid touch. He was already looking forward to the scene of using this thing to sneak and penetrate. "Hey, what kind of attack power does this thing have?"

"How can you attack such a small thing? Designers and engineers will hate you to death!" Rafat shook his head and said: "The manual specifically mentions that this thing cannot be used for attack: the power of the moving parts is limited. , the power is not strong enough; if electroshock weapons are installed, the battery reserve is not enough. It even lacks the ability to carry bombs in, because the priority is to take care of sensors and buried communication antennas, so there is no load space on its outer surface.”

"But some of its functions are very good, such as the ability to pick locks, including mechanical locks and most electronic locks. Its deformation detection device has similar functions to the intelligence... intelligence officer's device, so it can also drill into most interfaces and establish Data channel. But it doesn’t have the ability to crack security systems, otherwise it could replace an intelligence officer. “In addition, it has strong reconnaissance capabilities and can explore dangerous areas.”

"How much does this thing cost?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"This time it's not about money, this one is yours. If you want to ask the cost of this thing in the army? About 200,000 euros. Doesn't it sound very cheap, better than the radio station you ordered? In fact During the Shang Company War, these items provided to the army were all at cost, and Flathead Brother itself had some experimental qualities, so it was relatively cheap.”

Ge Gongdao added: "It's almost impossible to find this thing on the black market, and you can't buy it even if you have money."

"That's right! No matter who owns this thing, it will not be sold on the open market. It can only be traded one-on-one privately." Rafat nodded with a smile and said, "How about it? Brother Flathead has seen that, right? ? Let’s talk about something else?”

For the task of retrieving lost property, according to the originally negotiated plan, the reward will be calculated at 40% of the price, with Brother Pingtou's expenses deducted first. The price calculation here is also sophisticated, and it must be much lower than the market price or even the cost price outside. After all, these things are stolen goods and cannot be seen in the light, and their own value is reduced by the cost of realizing them. A large box of stuff is not enough to cover a guy with a flat head, but fortunately there are still a few boxes left.

Zhuang Xuteng only knew a little about the prices of various goods in the market and basically had no say. Fortunately, Ge Gongdao had more experience in this area. His many years of mercenary career have allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience in pricing "sale of stolen goods". When he served as the director of Moat Company, he also had to manage the staff's equipment and calculate the cost of each security operation. The price list here is updated every day, so he can find out Rafat's little thoughts and win back a lot of benefits.

Calculating everything, their "equity fee" is 525,000 euros. Brother Flathead counts 230,000 euros among them, so there is nearly 300,000 euros left. Just when Lafat wanted to finalize the number with Ge Gongdao, Zhuang Xuteng stepped in and interrupted them, saying: "Since there is still some left, I want another Flathead Brother. If this one breaks down, there will be A replaceable one.”

"I want it again..." Ge Gongdao only said two words, and he suddenly understood. He immediately stared at Rafat and said, "You are so cunning! You actually hid a flat-headed brother and didn't count it? What do you mean?"

Fortunately, Rafat was used to being thick-skinned, so he was not scared to death. There are two Flatheads in the first box, and there is another one below, but it is sealed separately by a shock-proof partition, which is equivalent to being hidden in a mezzanine. From the inside, it looks almost flawless. He thought that he could hide it this way. Firstly, he could save some money, and secondly, he would not let people know that he had a flat-headed brother and attract covetousness.

"Brother Dao, you misunderstood Rafat." Zhuang Xuteng said this with no good intentions. He said: "As I said before, Brother Pingtou will not calculate the discount, and we agree to this. At the same time, our equity premium will be discounted first. Give it to Brother Flathead, unless we want more money. Then since there is still one Brother Flathead that has not been discounted, it is not considered stolen property, but it can be exchanged. I think it is better to keep one owner and one spare. I’m always a little worried about one.”

"Ah... that's the truth!" Ge Gongdao echoed: "Two flat-headed brothers, the rest are in euros, so it won't put any pressure on your cash flow. Rafat, let's do it like this!"

"But...but..." Rafat faltered a few times, obviously unwilling to do so. However, he is also very realistic and knows that he will be caught on the spot. This is the same as willing to gamble and admit defeat. Unless he breaks out and starts a fight, he will bleed. "Okay, but the one below is brand new and has not been unpacked at all. It is always more expensive than this one."

Ge Gongdao squeezed his hand bones and made a clicking sound. He stared at Rafat and asked, "How much does it cost?"

"3...250,000." Rafat woke up in time.

"The difference between the old and new discounts is quite reasonable, but I have a suggestion: 245,000, and then you can round up the figure and give us 50,000 euros. This task will be successfully completed." Zhuang Xuteng said: "We will also help you solve the problem during the operation. I found a traitor and I didn’t ask for any money, right? We took away two flat-headed cars and 50,000 euros, and you won’t lose face if you get your things back, how nice is that.”

Rafat lowered his head first, then quickly raised his head with a smile and said: "Okay! Let's do it! I have to respect your bargaining power and status, especially this time I am asking you for help. Let's each take what we have. Just what you need, happy to work with you!”

He stretched out his hand, and Zhuang Xuteng also stretched out his hand. Once they shook hands, the matter was settled. After that, Rafat opened the partition, took out the Flathead Brother below, handed it to Zhuang Xuteng, and then said: "Use it well, don't worry. I will definitely keep it a secret here. No one knows that you have this equipment."

"Thank you very much. Good things will become the best things when they can be kept secret." Zhuang Xuteng picked up two boxes in one hand and said, "I have something to do next, and I have to learn this How things work."

"It's not easy, it's quite difficult. Be mentally prepared. Or, you can find someone with a zombie physique to help you."

"One more person means more money, and the remote control doesn't work." Zhuang Xuteng would not reveal that he had an excellent zombie physique anyway.
