Chapter 175: The Lark Goes Out of Control
"It's finally over, V."
Li De breathed a sigh of relief. The intensity of this battle was not high for him, but he still felt extremely heavy.
It can be said that this is the most difficult task Li De has completed since he joined the CIA, because he had to attack his beloved disciple!
The tortured conscience and the important task of regaining the motherland made him feel the dual painful feeling of being submerged in deep water and being burned by fire at all times.
No matter which choice he made, he was wrong.
"Yeah, it's all over."
V didn't hear the underlying meaning of Li De's words. He just smiled and patted his shoulder, then walked in the direction of Song Zhaomei.
But before V could get close to Song Zhaomei, he suddenly discovered that Song Zhaomei seemed to be infected by some unknown virus.
Symptoms of general convulsions appeared, and the whole body was indescribably twisted and weird.
Instead of helping, Alex pinned Song Zhaomei to the ground, as if preparing to cuff her.
"What the hell is going on? What did you do to Song Zhaomei!"
There was no one else here. When he saw Song Zhaomei's accident, V would of course suspect that Li De and the others had done something to Song Zhaomei.
Faced with V's puzzled and angry questioning, Li De told the truth frankly, directly explaining everything about Alex's use of the ice-breaking procedure to restrain Song Zhaomei.
"V, we must bring Song Zhaomei back to the CIA. This is the only way she can survive. There is no other way!"
"As long as New America is still there, the CIA is still there, and President Miles is still there, Song So-mi cannot be truly free."
"It is better to live humiliatingly in a cage than to die miserably. We must do this!"
Li De's tone was low and solemn, but it was also vaguely mixed with deep helplessness.
After all, he is just a more useful dog beside Miles. As long as the president needs it, he can work for the organization at any time.
A small person like him doesn't even have the right to choose his own future, so how can he help others choose their future?
Li De knew very well that as long as Song Zhaomei did not return to the CIA for one day, New America's pursuit of her would never stop.
In order for Song Zhaomei to survive, Li De was willing to accept it, even if he would be resented and hated by her forever from now on.
V did not immediately refute Li De's foolish and loyal behavior, but looked back at Song Zhaomei.
At this time, Song Zhaomei was being pinned to the ground by Alex. She was so weak that she could only look at V with desperate and sad eyes.
She wanted to shout loudly to V and ask for help, so that V would not believe Li De's nonsense.
As long as V chooses to stand on her side, she can still escape to the airport with V and cure her illness.
However, the ice-breaking program Alex implanted into Song Zhaomei was more powerful than she imagined.
Song Zhaomei felt countless weak currents raging crazily in her body, as if thousands of small insects were gnawing at her internal organs.
Numbing current passed quickly through the circuits of every prosthetic device in Song Zhaomei's body.
This made Song Zhaomei almost have no energy to speak. The program took her away. She could only raise her tired and heavy eyelids, force out some words from her throat, and beg V:
"V, save, save me..."
Although the ice-breaking procedure will not cause fatal harm to Song Zhaomei, it can perfectly grasp the limit of her resistance.
If Song Zhaomei wants to break free from the restrictions of the icebreaking program, she must either rely on Alex to use the cracking program to remove it, or she can only rely on the black wall agreement!
But in this way, she is equivalent to dying together with V, Li De, and Alex. Song Zhaomei doesn't know what kind of terrible behavior she will do if she loses control.
I don't even know what I will become if my consciousness is swallowed up by the black wall, and what will happen to me due to the AI that flows outside the black wall.
Maybe she would kill everyone present, or maybe she would die suddenly on the spot. Song Zhaomei didn't dare to gamble, so she hoped that V could be on his side.
Seeing that the silent V seemed to agree with his statement, Li De stepped forward and patted his shoulder, striking while the iron was hot and said:
"V, we need to act quickly. The Nether Dog soldiers outside have been alerted. I estimate they will surround this place in three minutes."
"While there is still time, let's leave Sapphire Green first!"
Li De knew what V was thinking. He just sympathized with this lost lark and wanted to help her out.
Maybe Song Zhaomei and V have reached some kind of exchange of interests, but what Song Zhaomei can give to V, New America can definitely give to him.
What's more, Song Zhaomei is from the CIA and a key criminal designated by President Miles. I'm afraid no one in America can take her away.
Not even if V is from the company!
"No, Li De, I have to take Song Zhaomei out of Dog Town today, and no one can stop me!"
V turned around and said to Li De in a firm and fierce tone: "You'd better not force me to do it."
Seeing that V was acting like a reckless and impulsive kid, Li De's expression suddenly changed, and he warned V coldly:
"V, if you want to take Song Zhaomei away, you must give me a suitable reason, otherwise I can't hand her over to you no matter what."
"This is an order from President Miles himself!"
Seeing V confronting Li De forcefully, as if V had not given up on herself, Song Zhaomei's desperate state of mind that was on the verge of collapse finally got better.
But the next second, V's words suddenly made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave, and even the corners of her mouth that were about to raise suddenly froze!
"Because this is an order given to you and me by Mr. Li Ang personally. Is this reason appropriate enough?"
After saying that, V took out a coin engraved with the LA logo. This is an exclusive token for LA company agents. Each department's token is different.
The tokens of LA Company held by V and Li De are coins as big as buttons.
This means that they belong to the same company department and directly take orders from Li Ang.
When mentioning Li Ang and LA Company, V's voice was calm and authoritative, and Li De, who was just about to fall out with V and launch a sneak attack on him, couldn't help but be stunned immediately.
Obviously, V's coin token and the information he previously revealed can completely prove that he is an agent of LA Company!
All V's actions represent Li Ang's will!
"Li De, do you think I came to Dog Town to be Miles's lackey? No! Everything I did was a task assigned to me by Mr. Li Ang."
"Including joining the so-called CIA!"
At this moment, Li De was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that V was actually an agent sent by Li Ang, and the order he executed was to take Song Zhaomei away.
If this is the case, then as a latent agent of LA Company and an agent of the CIA, how should he choose?
One is the president of a super giant company, and the other is the president of the new America. Two bosses, with the same goal, Li De doesn't know what to do.
It seemed like no matter what he chose, he would always get the wrong answer.
V could see that Li De was in a dilemma, so he took the initiative to push him and try to pull him onto the right path.
"Li De, this is the last chance for you and Alex to join LA Company. We don't have much time left for you and I. You must make your choice as soon as possible."
"This is the only moment when you can control your own destiny. How you choose depends on yourself!"
After the words fell, V stood in front of Li De and looked directly into his eyes. If Li De still chose to side with Miles, he would insist on taking Song Zhaomei back to the CIA.
Then V can only go on a killing spree, directly stabbing Li De and Alex to death like he killed Hansen.
Just when Li De lowered his head and fell into a tangled state of contemplation, Song Zhaomei, who was pinned to the ground by Alex, suddenly let out a hoarse sneer and choked up sounds.
"V, it turns out you lied to me too."
Song Zhaomei's body began to tremble involuntarily due to the violent emotional fluctuations. She raised her head and stared at V, her thoughts chaotic and complicated.
Sadness and anger intertwined in Song Zhaomei's heart.
She thought V and Li De were sincerely here to help her, but she didn't expect that one of them was for the company and the other was for the CIA. They just wanted to trade her life for their own futures!
He shamelessly said it was for her own good.
From beginning to end, all this was just sanctimonious hypocrisy, betrayal and insatiable greed.
No one is really on her side!
Including V, whom he placed all his hopes on.
Just when Alex wanted to control the ice-breaking program and increase the intensity of restrictions on Song Zhaomei, she suddenly discovered that the program seemed to have been forcibly cracked by some unknown data.
"What's going on? Why does the program fail?"
Alex issued several instructions to the program, but there was no response at all.
What's even worse is that the program virus that was supposed to restrain Song Zhaomei actually infected Alex and took effect instantly!
Boom!
Along with a crisp explosion, the prosthetic device in Alex's body suddenly experienced a short-circuit failure and exploded with a dazzling spark.
And she herself fainted on the spot, her life or death unknown.
"Alex!"
Li De and V shouted at the same time. Only now did they realize that Song Zhaomei's whole body was actually wrapped in some kind of dark red current.
It was as if a mysterious and strange force suddenly possessed her.
Song Zhaomei's eyes also changed from normal human pupils to scarlet like a battle robot, and her eyes were also covered with small and ferocious black lines!
"This...this is the black wall. Song Zhaomei was counterattacked by the black wall!"
V, who has also used the black wall ability, really understands Song Zhaomei's weird state at this moment. No one knows better than him the state when the black wall backfires.
However, V still has the AI White Queen in his mind, which can help him quickly decompose the negative feelings caused by the black wall. Song Zhaomei, who has nothing, can only bear this huge pain alone!
"V, I... I have always trusted you so much. I thought we were the same kind of people, but you let me down. Really, so disappointed!"
The sound produced by Song Zhaomei seemed to be a mixture of fragmented human voices, electronic sounds, and the sound of metal friction.
It gives people an indescribably weird feeling.
In fact, the "thing" that is controlling Song Zhaomei's body now is indeed not entirely herself. There are many other things in her body.
When Song Zhaomei forcibly used the Black Wall protocol, relying on the data flow formed by the Black Wall and the external roaming AI, she broke through the constraints of the ice-breaking program.
Her consciousness data was instantly invaded by the Black Wall AI data flow, but Song Zhaomei's consciousness was still there, but she was a little unable to control her body.
It can be said that Song Zhaomei is now like an AI container that has been cracked by the Black Wall, and the roaming AI outside the Black Wall can enter and exit her body freely.
And Song Zhaomei's consciousness must fight against this group of powerful and numerous roaming AIs at any time to compete for control of the body.
So from the perspective of V and Li De, Song Zhaomei, who slowly stood up from the ground, was like being infected with some zombie virus, and slowly walked towards them with twisted and weird body movements.
"V, I really don't want to hurt you. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. We could have left here together."
After the words fell, Song Zhaomei raised her hand to Li De beside V and released a dark red electric current. This was a strong attack virus written by the Black Wall Protocol.
It will cause a devastating blow to anyone with a prosthetic device!
However, the attack released by Song Zhaomei on Li De was not completely fatal. She only released less than 10% of the power.
But even so, Li De still quickly fainted from the state of severe pain all over his body, and he had no power to fight back at all!
Seeing this scene, V knew that it was too late to say anything. Song Zhaomei, who had gone crazy, could not listen to anything at all. He had to knock her down as soon as possible.
"Song Zhaomei, come with me now. I promise you will be reborn and free. Just believe me this time!"
V shouted to the out-of-control Song Zhaomei, trying to awaken her consciousness, while secretly activating the Chapter 6 device, preparing to pack the puppet program and launch a sonic shock to her.
[No! Too late!! ]
Song Zhaomei's already scarlet artificial eyes became brighter, and her voice became a harsh voice made entirely of electronic mixture.
It seemed that the person who was speaking was not a human, but some unknown machine creature.
V knew very well that the thing talking to him at this moment should be the wandering AIs that ran into Song Zhaomei's body from outside the black wall.
They were like cyber ghosts, possessing Song Zhaomei's body, coming and going freely, as if they had come to a strange ocean.
Just when Song Zhaomei was about to launch an electromagnetic invasion attack on V, V took the lead in activating the device and caused sonic shock damage to Song Zhaomei.
Song Zhaomei, who was planning to kill V just now, was suddenly afraid and stopped moving.
Because the wandering AIs in her body felt a very terrifying existence.
That was the data information of AI White Queen!
In the primary network space outside the black wall, AI White Queen had already become a kind of god-level AI that could not be described, touched, or looked at directly.
None of the wandering AIs that encountered AI White Queen had a good end.
At this moment, Song Zhaomei realized that V was the hidden cyber monster, and even his body was occupied by AI White Queen!
Just as she wanted to retreat and escape, the Nether Dog soldiers who came to support had broken into the door.
When Bennett saw the warehouse in a mess and his bosses Hansen and Gago all fell to the ground in a miserable state, he was horrified at first, and then secretly happy.
Hansen is dead, and from now on he is the new king of Dog Town!
"Damn it, kill this agent!"
Bennett reacted quickly. Since someone killed Hansen, as a subordinate, he should first avenge his boss.
In an instant, the whole warehouse was filled with gunshots, and dense bullets formed a firepower network, attacking V frantically.
"Fuck!"
Faced with this situation of being attacked from both sides, V had to free up his hands to deal with Bennett's gang first. Anyway, the warehouse was so small that Song Zhaomei probably couldn't run away.
However, just as V activated the Sian Westin device and prepared to quickly kill the group of Nether Dog soldiers who came to make trouble.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Zhaomei summoning a big flat-headed combat robot from somewhere, and followed the robot to break through the wall and quickly left the warehouse.
It just so happened that there were so many Nether Dog soldiers here, like locusts. After killing one batch, there was another batch, which made V almost exhausted.
Fortunately, not long after, the Nether Dog soldiers who came to support were inexplicably attacked by their own drones and robots.
It turned out that the out-of-control Song Zhaomei took control of the mechanical equipment of the entire Dog Town through the Black Wall Protocol and launched an indiscriminate attack on all living creatures.
Now the entire Dog Town, and even most of the Taipingzhou area, has become a mess because of Song Zhaomei's rampage and loss of control, with gunshots and wailing everywhere!
"This is a big deal."
...
The emergency inside the Baoshiqing Hotel spread rapidly to the surrounding areas like a virulent plague.
The border guards of Dog Town soon received Bennett's emergency transfer order, so they had to send people back to support.
As a result, the garrison forces that blocked the entrance and exit of Dog Town instantly became as weak as paper.
The elite agent team from the United Intelligence Agency took advantage of the situation and broke through a garrison point, and quickly swept to the deep area of Dog Town.
At this moment, Li Ang, who was far away in the control hall of the LA company headquarters, had seen through the mounted front camera of the captain of this agent team that they were rushing towards a certain unfinished building.
Obviously, the place where this agent team was going was exactly where President Miles was hiding!
"30 meters away from the target point."
"20 meters away from the target."
"15 meters away!"
"..."
The captain of the agent team kept sending situation reports. The person who sent this agent team was not Li Ang, but Lucas Harford, the acting president of New America.
Not long ago, Li Ang had reached a benefit cooperation with Harford, and saw that there was such a financial sponsor as LA company willing to support him to take the position.
Harford was naturally willing to hand over the dog rope to Leon, willing to work hard for LA company, even as a puppet president.
When you don't have any power to compete with the other party, knowing the current situation and being a dog is the correct answer to maximize your interests.
And Harford knows this truth very well. Instead of fighting for power and profit with various forces every day like Miles, it is better to lie down and start.
Now Harford sent this special agent team for only one purpose, that is, to assassinate Miles!
Immediately, the elite soldiers of the team arrived at Miles' hiding place. After breaking into the door and noticing two street thugs guarding the door, they immediately shot and killed them.
This series of dense and crisp gunshots woke Miles up immediately, but she did not panic, because she could hear that this was a special gun for the United Intelligence Bureau.
"Stop the fucking thing! Who told you to shoot!"
Miles, who should have been happy that she was about to be rescued, was not only not happy at all, but was extremely angry and angry.
These soldiers dared to shoot and kill people without her instructions. This clearly showed that they did not take her seriously!
It had only been a few days since the crash of the Sky-Sky No. 1 airship, and the agents under the United Intelligence Agency dared to do so.
Miles would never allow such a situation to happen!
"These two people are working for me. You dare to shoot in front of me, the president. Is this how Harford asked you to save people?"
"Who told you to shoot?!"
Miles stared at the captain of the leading agent team. Although the other party was dressed like a dumpling and could not see his facial features clearly, she was still sure that he was from the United Intelligence Agency.
"I ask you again, who told you to shoot!"
Just when Miles was furious and wanted to establish her dignity as the president in front of everyone by severely reprimanding him,
The captain of the special forces suddenly waved his hand and asked the soldiers beside him to take out an electronic board.
The video content displayed on the electronic board was the background of the LA company headquarters and Li Ang himself!
"Is it you, Mr. Li Ang?!"
The moment she saw Li Ang, Miles did not feel the slightest bit of joy because of the appearance of this close ally.
On the contrary, her mood instantly changed from the joy of being rescued to depression and worry.
In fact, as early as when the Sky-Sky No. 1 airship was shot down, Miles had already suspected whether LA company was also involved.
But this speculation result was unacceptable to Miles. She would rather the truth be that Song Zhaomei betrayed herself than to see herself being liquidated by LA company.
"Mr. Li Ang, what is going on? Where is Harford? Why are you contacting me?"
Miles forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart and tried to continue to maintain her calmness and pride as the president in front of Li Ang.
But her slightly trembling hands still betrayed her panic at this time.
And these subtle movements were all seen by Li Ang.
