The Abyssal Believers truly have no fear, they actually dared to install sothing on Yan Luo’s vehicle.
Yan Luo didn’t know what exactly they had installed, but he knew that once he ntioned the word ’bomb’, it would imdiately draw attention and prompt people to call the police.
Just as Yan Luo had anticipated, two hover police cars swiftly descended from the sky.
Two anti-explosion guard bots erged from the cars, slowly approached Yan Luo’s motorcycle, and after reviewing the parking lot footage, they quickly discovered a device under the motorcycle’s seat.
It wasn’t a bomb, but a tracker.
Even though it was just a tracker, it was still an illegal item since in this era, trackers have long been listed as controlled items, only the military and Hunters are allowed to use them, and even Hunters have limitations, only being able to use them within the Abyss.
The person pinned down by Yan Luo was neither a Hunter nor a soldier, and his act of installing a tracker on Yan Luo’s motorcycle was a serious illegal act.
The man with the orange hat was taken away by the police, but one police car stayed behind, and two patrol officers questioned Yan Luo in front of him: "Mr. Yan, this is already the second illegal incident you’ve encountered in a short period. May I ask if you are in so kind of trouble?"
Although the caller for the last illegal incident wasn’t Yan Luo, he was also associated with that incident as a victim.
Encountering two illegal incidents in a short ti and being the victim both tis, the patrol officers felt it necessary to ask if Yan Luo needed any help.
Yan Luo said, "I do have so trouble, but it’s okay, I can solve it myself."
The two patrol officers looked at each other, bid farewell to Yan Luo, retrieved the anti-explosion guard bots, and drove off.
Yan Luo mounted his motorcycle, and in his ear ca the hacker’s frantic shouting: [Boss, what’s going on? Just a mont ago, your personal terminal suddenly suffered multiple probing attacks. I managed to fend them off, but if they intensify the attacks, I——]
Before he could finish, Yan Luo started the motorcycle, and said coldly, "Increase by 500,000."
[I, I am your network shield!] the hacker yelled with excitent.
While driving, Yan Luo entered the coordinates into the map and found that the location where Wen Chongwu had hidden items was in the North Territory.
If he wanted to go to that place, he needed to traverse the Crimson Abyss, then travel approximately over a hundred kiloters east to Crimson No. 3.
This wasn’t difficult for Yan Luo, so he imdiately turned the motorcycle towards the checkpoint where exoskeletons and weapons were stored.
Through the hacker’s shouting, Yan Luo knew the Abyssal Believers had intensified the network attacks on his personal terminal. To fend off those attacks, the hacker had to allocate more server resources. Fortunately, he had previously planted backdoors in several servers.
Defense alone was not enough; Yan Luo felt he needed to attack.
"What’s the price for a counterattack?" Yan Luo asked.
The hacker was taken aback, not expecting Yan Luo to be so bold.
[I alone can’t manage a counterattack, but I have friends... probably need an increase by 1.5 million.]
The hacker tried to lower the price as much as possible because he understood that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If he quoted too high a price, Yan Luo might not hire him for this task, but if the price seed reasonable, Yan Luo was likely to hire him and his friends.
Yan Luo’s gaze was icy as he uttered a cold word: "Add!"
The hacker instantly shouted: [Alright! I’ll go recruit people right now!]
In no ti, the hacker brought in a couple of friends with similar skill levels, helping Yan Luo establish a firewall while launching a counterattack.
An intense cyber warfare unfolded online, utilizing millions of server resources, and many people’s personal terminals unknowingly beca tools in the hands of both sides’ hackers, with enormous computing power being wasted but not triggering any network monitoring programs.
In today’s network voyage, avoiding surveillance programs is just a basic skill.
As the motorcycle was about to reach the checkpoint, Yan Luo suddenly said, "Add another 3 million, gather a few more friends, can you counterattack within half an hour?"
[3 million? Alright, a deal!] The hacker rejoiced, feeling like he was having a full feast this ti.
Before even half an hour passed, shortly after Yan Luo arrived at the checkpoint, the hacker sent him so slightly heavy bad news: [Boss, uh... we’ve located their main base, but... it’s uh... in Celestial City...]
Yan Luo frowned, "The main base of those who attempted to infiltrate my personal terminal is in Celestial City?"
Just hearing that na made even the unruly hacker gulps nervously, [Yes, that’s Celestial City. Although they disguised their address multiple tis, we found it out... My friends told after discovering the enemy might be at Celestial City that they need you to add a bit more money...]
"Is 1 million enough?" Yan Luo asked as he donned an exoskeleton and strapped all the weapons onto himself.
The hacker gasped sharply, this was the first ti he had encountered such a bold employer, money seed less like currency and more like re numbers.
No, to ’Yan Luo,’ money indeed seed just like numbers.
[Sure, sure, or rather say 1 million is too much, their original asking price was 100,000 each. Now we each get 200,000, enough to motivate us! Boss, wait for our good news!]
Listening to the hacker’s cheers, Yan Luo drove the motorcycle away from the checkpoint.
The vehicle’s radar was at full power, while all his attention was on his surroundings, avoiding being shot by a sniper rifle.
Yan Luo wasn’t sure if the Abyssal Believers would follow him out of Lingquan City, but from their actions, they seed determined to get the items Wen Chongwu had hidden.
He believed they most likely had already checked the fake coordinates Wen Chongwu left but found nothing.
From the previous series of events, it was clear that the Abyssal Believers had significant influence, but it was not all-encompassing.
Just like Wen Chongwu ntioned in his letter, the United Governnt as a whole could be trusted, but one must remain vigilant and not let down their guard.
Yan Luo kept his spirits tense, even after returning to Crimson No. 2, he didn’t relax.
It wasn’t until Yan Luo entered Crimson No. 2 territory that he reconnected with the hacker.
[Whew, boss, we finally connected!] The hacker seed relieved, [We have infiltrated the enemy’s base. They have a server room in Celestial City, which has an exceptional computing power, several tis stronger than the most powerful surface servers, don’t know how they pulled that off... Although the enemy was formidable, we succeeded! As soon as we invaded their server room, they cut the power and severed all network connections, so unfortunately, we couldn’t deal them any effective blows.]
"It’s already enough, help erase the previous network traces, and wipe them clean, leaving no trace," Yan Luo instructed again.
This was an easy task for the hacker, who swiftly helped Yan Luo complete it.
After the hacker helped erase the network traces, Yan Luo directly transferred the paynt to him.
The hacker was once again stunned, not expecting Yan Luo to be so straightforward.
[Long live the boss! If you need anything in the future, just contact ; my hacker nickna is ’Current.’ Oh, right, I can leave you contact info so you won’t have to go through interdiaries to find !]
The hacker ’Current’ joyfully left Yan Luo his contact information and went offline to celebrate.
At this mont, Yan Luo also drove back to his villa.
There was no ti to lose; he believed he needed to depart as soon as possible.
After resting for a few hours in the villa, Yan Luo packed all the usable items and drove to the Hunter’s Guild to register.
"Yan Luo? Didn’t you just return from the Abyss a few days ago?"
There was a Hunter in the Hunter’s Guild who was quite surprised.
Yan Luo casually explained, "I have so matters that require to head to the North Territory, and I need to go through the Crimson Abyss."
With such an explanation, people understood.
Traveling through the Abyss to other regions is one of the basic uses of the Abyss.
However, what kind of business does Yan Luo have heading to the North Territory? An advertisent endorsent perhaps?
