Chapter 52: The Alliance of Two Genius Hackers
[As you pulled the trigger, the sudden gunshot broke the silence of the night.]
[For Punklord, it was all over.]
[No one desires war, and there will be no winners in the war between Oasis District and the Wilderness. In just a month, the land has been ravaged. It's time to put an end to the meaningless struggle between the two sides.]
[Punklord's global network will not recover in the short term, and most of the Ether tapes have been banned by you.]
[But for you, this is not the end, but the beginning.]
The Black Zone...the Primordial Tape...when your gunshot broke the silence of the city, you were no longer the hero who ended the war, but a guilty person with a treasure.
The Primordial Tape, for Punklord, is the object of pursuit for all hackers, and a collective entity of power and desire.
When the news spread that the Primordial Tape was in White Balance's hands and that he had caused Punklord's global network to collapse,
"Punklord Network Company", and all of Punklord's forces, considered him a target to be hunted down.
Even though the network collapse poses no threat to his physical body, the technology-created beings still pose a great threat to him.
White Balance stood at the top of the tallest building in the neon metropolis, where he could see the place of his birth.
He remembered that he used to like "Born": two horizontal lines, a light dot, the simplest shooting game, but he could play it for a whole day.
Just like now, drone swarms filled the night sky, connected in lines. They came one after another, then fell to the ground in a burst of flames.
He remembered that he used to like "War Wheel 32": a grid of stars drawn with pixels, eight distinct color blocks, the rule was simple - be the first, no matter how.
Just like now, the colors divided the network space into eight parts, people from various organizations moved around in the square, all aiming for the same goal - to catch "White Fox".
E However, now it may not be possible to do any of these things.
Thinking about this, Bai Heng let out a cold laugh, but just as he continued to approach Punklord Networks.
A few specially-made ethereal fuel bombs breached the critical threshold of the battered defensive barrier and fell towards him.
[Successfully intercepted target, kill probability 90%.]
The scorching heat was closing in, and the fuel bombs burst into flames in midair, turning into several tiny flame fragments that fell towards him at the same time.
The blue quantum barrier suddenly reappeared and was reinforced once again.
At the same time, in the distance, several quantum beams were fired from orbital cannons and destroyed the fighter plane that had launched the fuel bombs.
A slightly lazy yet trembling voice sounded in Bai Heng's ear.
"Glad you didn't block my account when you sealed everyone else's ethereal card, or I wouldn't have made it in time."
A girl with silver-gray hair with blue highlights, wearing a rabbit-ear shaped accessory and goggles, holding a black hair clip, a white jacket with a fur collar around her neck, wearing black half-finger gloves, and matching low-waist fishnet shorts walked out of the smoke of the fuel bombs, smiling.
"Need help?" she asked. "Brother."
"Let them see the combined efforts of Punklord Networks' two top hackers."
