"Change into their clothes, those electric currents won't harm you." Sheyan whispered. "Oh right, you just told me that the damned access card won't be damaged by electric currents right?"
The dumbstruck Abreu and Ache finally realized, as though they had awoken from a dream.
"Yes yes yes yes.... because the access card is manufactured with the latest Jabek circuit. Its design is able to withstand a hundred thousand volts...."
"Shut up. I only need the answer, not the theory. Go and search for the access card, our time is limited. " At this moment, Sheyan's tone was slightly heavier, but it was now filled with an indescribable majesty of killing.
Abreu and Ache stared blankly for a moment before scrambling towards the corpse. While searching for the access card, they naturally took the victim's wallet, ring and other valuables. It seemed like poverty had left a deep impression on them.
What happened next was needless to say. Party Ace had an absolute advantage to begin with, and they could even launch sneak attacks when they least expected it. Naturally, everything went smoothly for them. To their surprise, there were three researchers and maintenance personnel in the base station! Those three unlucky fellows were here for maintenance, but were unable to return due to the rain. They could only stay here for the night, and never expected they would be reduced to prisoners.
Without a doubt, under the threat of bullets, the three of them became extremely capable helpers for Abreu and Ache. As the price for their cooperation, Sheyan promised to guarantee their safety, and would tie them up and gag their mouths. The actual significance of these three people to Sheyan was – Borrowing the aid of the satellites, the efficiency and speed of searching for Zi would be increased by 200%. At least, they would be able to gain an additional two hours of time.
*****
Without a doubt, Abreu was an exceedingly greedy fellow, and wasn't very capable. However, Ache wasn't the same. With his assistance, in less than 40 minutes, four of the dozens of satellites hovering tens of kilometres above their heads had noiselessly started servicing this unremarkable base station.
Logically speaking, this was considered a violation of the rules. However, the development of dinosaur crystals had gradually become the world's preferred new energy source. There were simply too many interests involved in this. Even the relatively simple military couldn't help but skirt the line at times.
Furthermore, Party Ace had chosen to strike in the wee hours of the morning. Most of the people were already resting, while the few on duty were drowsy and careless. There was also Abreu, a traitor who was extremely familiar with the internal rules, so he didn't attract the slightest bit of attention. It was estimated that it would take at least four or five hours for them to realize that this was not a borderline game at all, but an out-and-out violation of the rules.
A 3D model of the dinosaur disaster zone was presented in front of Sheyan. It had been roughly 6-7 years since this zone was created. This zone was distributed along the coast in a long and narrow manner. It included the coastline, deserts, islands, mountains and other complex terrains. The total area reached a terrifying 2.6 million square kilometres.
If it wasn't for the fact that the integration process of Earth had become very fast in this space-time, it would have been really inconvenient to create such a special area. Of course, in terms of technological advancement in this world, it was nearly 30 to 50 years ahead of the present world. Otherwise, even though 13 satellites sounded like a lot, it wouldn't be realistic to carry out strict surveillance over this zone.
Of course, it was also because of this factor that the factions within the dinosaur disaster zone were tangled and complicated. This gave Party Ace an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"I've already infiltrated the temporary mainframe of Skynet." Aches couldn't muster up his spirits as he spoke. Because of the three temporary engineers, he had saved a lot of time in deciphering the codes. Thus, Aches felt as though he was a hero with no place to display his talents.
"Please state your request."
Sheyan pondered a little before replying.
"Get me all the recordings of large-scale battles in the disaster area in the past forty-eight hours."
Aches glanced at Sheyan in astonishment.
"Sir, in the last 48 hours, the large-scale battle recordings of the last 48 hours total.... 313,464. Are you sure you wish to retrieve all of them?"
Brother Black was currently chewing on his chewing gum. When he heard Sheyan's request, he was so shocked that the gum dropped out of his mouth.
"Are you kidding me? So many? "
Abreu shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"This number isn't that frightening. In fact, this is the reason why we need to install so many base stations, sir. You have to understand, this damned Cretaceous era green-skinned lizard is roughly equivalent to 5-6 times the size of the French Republic. Furthermore, these battle recordings include scenes of dinosaurs hunting each other. "
"Oh, alright then." Sheyan nodded and continued. "Narrow down the scope of the search. Limit it to large-scale battles where only humans are attacking each other."
With this request, a majority of the battle recordings were eliminated. However, there were still close to 5000 of them. This number sounded rather far-fetched and unrealistic, as though it was something that could be touched with one's hand. But alright, let us make a direct comparison. Everyone, please open up a hidden folder in your computer's D disk or F disk, and count the number of Japanese action films. Counting up to a hundred would already be a physically taxing task, what more to seriously observe?
"The second filtering condition. Eliminate all battle recordings that don't feature women." Sheyan calmly announced.
Instantly, this condition eliminated another 4,800 battle recordings. In the cruel hunting grounds of the dinosaur disaster zone, the physical disadvantage of females was infinitely magnified. Most of their existence here was to allow males to expend their male hormones, progesterone and stamina. More directly speaking, it was money.
As for the remaining 400 plus battle recordings, they could only rely on their naked eyes to judge. With Sheyan, Reef and Mogensha joining the fray, it didn't take long for them to witness the destruction of the Illume-union through the battle recordings.
According to Abreu, even satellites weren't omnipotent. They couldn't monitor every single battle, and their collection rate wasn't even 70%. Therefore, Sheyan and Mogensha could only obtain fragments of the battle between the Illume-union and Glory Party. Through these recordings, Sheyan understood that he had still underestimated the might of Glory Party. Even if he joined forces with the Illume-union, they still had no chance of victory in a direct confrontation.
"Halt." Sheyan observed Zi's frontal view in a battle recording. Her blue robes fluttered in the wind, as her tall and slender figure was vividly displayed. Even though she was in an extremely disadvantageous and perilous situation, her charm and heroic spirit blended together. She possessed a charm that other females didn't possess, nor could they possess.
"Our objective is this woman. Immediately begin searching for her whereabouts."
It was as though Ache and Abreu had been waiting for Sheyan to utter those words. To them, staying here for even a second longer would endanger their lives. Now that they had a concrete target, they naturally unleashed all of their abilities! A large number of data parameters and passwords were called up. The picture was quickly copied, pasted, and made into a 3D model of Zi, simulating her various movements. At least five satellite cameras began to rotate slightly, serving as the guide for Party Ace and the others.
Concurrently, Sheyan grabbed the other 3 researchers over. He focused his attention on those battle recordings that were previously selected. Finally, without much effort, he obtained a single piece of information.
They couldn't find any recordings of their previous battle with the Skull Party. Even the recordings of the battle between the Skull Party and the dinosaur couldn't be found.
This could only mean one possibility. That was, the Skull Party definitely had a mole infiltrating the satellite network. Not only did the mole utilize the satellite as his eyes and ears, he had also stifled the ability of other parties to utilize the satellite network to search for them.
From this, one could infer that the Skull Party was superior to the Illume-union and Glory Party in this aspect. From the fact that killing the Skull Party members could reward achievement points, they definitely weren't his allies. Even though he could utilize his interference barrier, he was still too passive and passive.... then, he might as well sever their eyes and mouths!
Thinking of that, Sheyan's lips curled into a sneer.
"Ache, for outsiders like us, is it possible for us to utilize the Skynet satellite network for legitimate purposes?"
Without hesitation, Ache replied.
"Mister, that's very difficult. Unless you can obtain the authorization of at least 3 heads of state."
"Then what if we employ some unconventional methods?" Sheyan asked curiously. "For example, utilizing some loophole or backdoor to secretly infiltrate the network?"
Upon hearing this news, Ache placed down his work and muttered to himself.
"Theoretically, there is indeed a possibility, mister. Because this network system was established 6 years ago, many technologies still aren't perfect. Furthermore, the management has become lax. Therefore, if one is daring enough and possesses certain advanced technologies, it is possible to accomplish such a feat."
