The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 22 Clean Up

Giant corporations are enviable and powerful beings, with strong control over their respective jurisdictions, and companies all rely on them to survive.

Rare technologies such as digital minds are only possessed by giant companies. Even if these technologies are stolen, other ordinary companies will find it difficult to use them, because they cannot obtain the matching skill files. In this way, it is impossible to inject the corresponding skills into the minds of employees. Knowledge, such technical barriers can be described as difficult to overcome.

The same is true for Xu Yang. He not only has a digital mind, but also has neural training engraved in his mind, plus his accumulated work experience. The combination of the three constitutes his current level of neuro-hacking.

This is also why the employees of giant enterprises can take off and land the effect of dimensional blows in the outside world. They are better than folk enthusiasts and members of small companies at every level.

Ye Ye naturally understood the value of being a member of a giant enterprise. She was very curious about why Xu Yang would give up such a superior environment and go outside. But she was too shy to ask.

Farosa was still staring at the novelty items in the vending machine.

"Let's have a good look at the inventions and creations of human beings," Xu Yang said. "Humans have not lived in vain for the past thousand years."

"The machine here still needs money." Ye Ye turned to the other vending machines next to him, they were selling some sundries.

"I'm too lazy to do it," Xu Yang took out the cash card, "I'll transfer you some money, you can take it and swipe it."

"Oh?" Ye Ye took out a blank cash card from the bag, and Xu Yang transferred 5,000 to her, which shocked her again, "So much?"

"5,000 is a small amount of money for me, and it is also for you."

"It was really small money for me a long time ago, now? I have the ability to live on 5,000 for 10 months."

"Then you will have nothing to worry about for the next 10 months."

"I'll pay you back when I make money."

"Need not."

Xu Yang has too much money, and 100 million cannot be spent casually.

"It's really rich, very rich." Ye Ye couldn't help repeating.

She has not been able to save any money in these years, and the money she earns from playing games can only be used to maintain expenses. Sometimes she has to borrow money, and the money on her cash card has never exceeded 2,000.

Xu Yang gave her 5,000 this time, making Ye Ye really happy.

"Now you can buy whatever you want," Ye Zi ran to the vending machine and started shopping excitedly.

"How long can you live with 5,000? How much do you usually spend a month?" Farosa observed Xu Yang.

"I used to live for free when I was in the company," Xu Yang said, "no money for food, accommodation and clothing."

"Happiness." Leaf concluded.

"But every month's wages are used to pay off debts, and you can't get anything that belongs to you," Xu Yang said. "Under the corporatist system, all the value you create belongs to the company. You pay too much and get too little. I can't Being a shameless person is consumed like a human flesh battery, and I also thank the company for not killing me."

The movement of the leaves stopped.

When she thought of Xu Yang's words, she recalled more complicated things.

She had seen some of the things that happened in her mother's company, it was very strange, some people jumped out of despair because they were fired, some people died before they got their pensions, some people were smart and elegant, but they were hysterical for a position, towering over there Among the gigantic buildings that entered the clouds, she saw people crawling around like ants.

"Scary." Leaf shook his head.

She took Farosa's hand and went to the toilet in the shopping mall together. On the way, Ye Ye seemed to have carefully tidy up her appearance. When she came back, Xu Yang felt completely new.

Ye Zi was addicted to the Internet before and didn't pay attention to dressing up, but now she has combed her hair, she is quite beautiful, her facial features are sweet and lovely, her eyes are also a lot smarter, and she looks happy.

Today the leaves look young and pure, and in a few years they will become more mature, which must be more attractive.

By contrast, Farosa simply washed her face.

"I want to take a shower," Farosa said.

"There is no hot water here." Xu Yang scanned the building's structural diagram.

The shopping mall is not a place for people to take a bath. The people in the Lijia group should go to their respective homes or go to the hotel to wash. This place is used for office and sales.

"I want to clean my elegant body," Farosa said. "I can't stand the filth and stench along the way, especially the 'toilet' we just visited."

"You were praising it just now." Ye Ye said.

"Because of the existence of such a wonderful and convenient tool as 'toilet paper'," Farosa said.

"Actually, it's better here, better than many Internet cafes." Ye Ye said.

Just as Xu Yang was about to say something, he felt dizzy.

He pressed his head, and apparently, the unrepaired brain implants were starting to damage his health again, and he felt like the world was spinning and he couldn't even stand.

Farosa helped Xu Yang to sit on the ground, he closed his eyes and breathed repeatedly, which was extremely annoying, as if a thousand computers were turned on at the same time in his head, making him at a loss.

"Must..." Xu Yang gasped, "I have to find a prosthetic clinic."

"Your implants weren't repaired?" Ye Zi asked.

"Only repaired a little bit." Xu Yang sat on the ground, his whole body hurt like needles, as if there was an electric spark running through his body, frantically torturing every blood vessel in him, trying to tear them all to pieces.

The sound of jet thrusts approached, and the cleaning robots slid back and forth around them, mopping blood, dirt, and bullet casings everywhere.

Not far away, the corpses were lifted up by their robotic arms and put into the large trash cans behind them. The movements were efficient and skillful, as if a work program for cleaning corpses had been built in before.

"Our cleaning, your smiling face!" These cleaning robots would broadcast such a voice while working. They sounded very happy. The hypermarket was filled with cheerful electronic sounds, making Xu Yang even more uncomfortable.

"Those big garbage cans are full of dead and stagnant dreams." Farosa looked at their corpse bins.

"But ours still needs to flow." Xu Yang looked at the shelves outside.

There are many kinds of robots, which can assist people in all aspects of life, but now, as far as Xu Yang's implant disorder is concerned, neither maintenance robots nor medical robots can help.

Find a prosthetic doctor...

Xu Yang felt exhausted.

Only a professional prosthetic doctor can help, Xu Yang thought to himself. They have gone through hundreds of battles and have seen a lot. In this chaotic world, what kind of implants have not been repaired.

"Quick," Xu Yang looked at Ye Zi, "Lend me the phone and see if there is a prosthetic clinic nearby."

"Mobile phones are very private," Ye Zi shook his head violently, "Uncle, what about your own mobile phone?"

"I was thrown out of the window when I crossed the sea in the shuttle." Keeping my phone will only cause me to be tracked.

"So you can use your own experience to prove that a modern person can live a healthy life without a mobile phone." Ye Zi suddenly thought of something interesting.

"Do you think I look healthy? Hurry up."

"What idiot would show others his cell phone." Ye Zi hugged his cell phone and didn't want to have sex.

"What kind of idiot is he carrying a 10kg bag wherever he goes?"

"These are my babies."

Xu Yang suspected that the dizziness was because the cache was not cleared.

His current digital mind is really very primitive. After the hand prosthesis is repaired, only part of the interface has been restored to provide basic functions. The brain prosthesis is only related to the more core processor and memory space, but they are still damaged. .

The previous hacking work has accumulated some data fragments, which will affect his brain work if not cleaned up carefully. However, this is only a stopgap measure, and it is best to find a prosthetic doctor for a full repair.

"Now is not the time for nonsense, quickly help me find those prosthetic clinics around." Xu Yang said.

"...One is still open." Ye Zi stared at the phone screen, "Hey, there is a video in the latest notification, I don't know what they recorded."

video?

"Let's put it on the ground and let's see." Xu Yang said.

Ye Zi laid the phone flat on the ground. Her phone is very old. It is the "Thunder 10" phone produced by Modern Entertainment, which is no longer popular.

She poked the play button.

When the video file was running, Xu Yang saw a middle-aged man with glasses, messy hair, and a tired face. His expression was ugly. The surroundings are dim and full of spare parts, junk scraps and second-hand furniture.

Beside him, stood a hooded "ghost", completely unable to see his face, wrapped in a thick cloak, as if he had been highly remodeled, so he didn't want to expose his twisted body.

"Hey, whoever saw this video, 'Old Cui Yi's Body Shop' is going to close down." Xu Yang saw the middle-aged man stretch out his hand, as if to support the camera, while pointing out angrily with his hand, "I'm dying. It's gone! My shop and I are going to die, and while you're watching this video, I should have been eaten by mice."

Video footage was transferred to the basement door.

Boom-boom-boom-a continuous tap sounded.

"Ratman!" Leaf frowned.

"Before I die, I'm going to tell you the truth!" the middle-aged man yelled at the screen, "I'm going to upload this video to the bulletin board to give you a chance to see that this world sucks, and it's all done by the company. Good thing, the company tortures everyone! If we want to live, if we want to live decently and live freely, we have to clean up all the companies! This is the only way out, I'm a genius, so don't Listen to how I demonstrate this answer concretely, you just need to know that I am right!"

Xu Yang saw that there were still 2/3 of the video, and felt that he didn't have time to watch it slowly before going to help.

He saw that the upload time of the video was only 5 minutes ago, and he estimated that there was still a chance to save the two of them.

Compared with this middle-aged man, the "ghost" next to him was obsessed with the work at hand, completely ignoring his appearance, as if he didn't care that the two of them would be eaten by mice,

"That's it!" the middle-aged man continued to shout, "The company is running the 'Giant Tower Project', it's a fact! It's true! All the rumors about the 'Giant Tower Project' are true, fuck the 'Giant Tower' Plan', hey, it's the first time I've said those words so loudly..."

Xu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

"Ignore him." Xu Yang stood up abruptly, "Turn off the video."

"They're being attacked by Rat Men," said Farotha, "and didn't you say they need repairs?"

Giant Tower Project.

On the first day of school in the company's primary school, Xu Yang was warned by the teacher of several guidelines.

——"Dear company children, the 'Giant Tower Project' absolutely does not exist."

"In the future, once you hear someone promoting it or talking about it in your life, please immediately record its appearance, name, and image by all means, send it to the special disposal department of the company alliance, and then wait in place, and the department personnel will Will arrive within 3 minutes to perform amnestics on you. This service will not harm your health, please use it with confidence."

"Be sure to stay away from everyone who talks about the 'Giant Tower Project' and never make any contact with it. Once in contact, please send your face, name and image to the special disposal department of the company alliance."

"If anyone claims that the 'Project Giant Tower' exists, they are lying, and the liars are not to be trusted."

The education he received as a child came to his mind, making Xu Yang just want to escape the madness on the screen.
