Crisis Management Game

"Yes, he said that in his dreams there would be very clear lines of numbers, including when he woke up early in the morning, and they would pop up in his mind from time to time."

"Can I see the transcript of the statement?"

Faced with Gu Ji's repeated questioning, the soldier carrying the corpse could only call his companion who was responsible for recording and hand him the notebook.

According to the description of the tall soldier.

When Penny mentioned this string of numbers, he seemed to be in some kind of crazy state, speaking in a confused manner. The soldiers could not record it at all, so they asked him to write down the numbers himself.

Gu Ji opened the notebook.

The numbers written above were indeed crooked, with many traces of bolding and mistakes, just like those of a kindergarten kid who had just started learning calligraphy.

The most important thing is that throughout the entire article, there are only two numbers, "0" and "1", repeated over and over again.

etc……

Gu Ji took a few glances and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Isn't this arrangement of 0s and 1s binary language?

Is this all computer code?

No wonder the soldiers mistakenly thought Penny was crazy.

After all, in 1952, computer hardware technology was still in the vacuum tube era, and software programming was extremely difficult and cumbersome. Not only was there no high-level language, but even the simplest machine code had to be manually written or assembled by a small number of professionals, and it was not popular at all.

only.

Even the soldiers at Bentwall Air Force Base didn't know computer language. How did Penny, a retired Air Force sergeant, master binary code technology?

It is just random writing;

Or... was he really guided by something?

Until now, Gu Ji still hasn't forgotten the black shadow he saw at the Pakistan earthquake checkpoint, and the "CISD: 6501" that came out of its mouth.

Who would have thought that this line of code and numbers would be related to a secret joint research institute in countries around the world.

Although he is not sure whether this phenomenon is man-made or some kind of bug, Penny may have encountered a similar situation as him.

For example, when touching the so-called "unidentified flying object", some mysterious code was implanted into the system.

This also explains why, among the four, only Penny had an abnormality.

If that is true.

Then the secret of Penny is really important, and it may be the key to deciphering the origin of the mysterious sphere! !

So he quickly grabbed the recording soldier's shoulder and shouted impatiently:

"I want to see Commander Hott! Now!"

"I'm sorry, the commander specifically told me that he's busy with other things right now."

The recording soldier tore his hand off and pushed it aside.

Gu Ji knew that this was just an excuse that Hott made up because he didn't want him to get too deeply involved in the base's secrets, but he really had no other choice at the moment.

It's because he himself doesn't understand computers.

"Code? Aliens?"

The recording soldier asked back doubtfully.

At this point, Gu Ji can only use aliens to replace the mysterious sphere.

Otherwise, if he leaked these things, I'm afraid his fate would be the same as Paul's, controlled by Hott and eventually turned into a madman.

"Penny is in the innermost room, but your current state..."

The recording soldier looked at Gu Ji hesitantly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has been infected with anthrax, while Penny is in good physical condition. If the two come into close contact and are infected with anthrax spores, no one can take the responsibility.

"Well, I won't go in. I just need to ask him some questions through the door!"

"Okay..."

Perhaps it was because watching over Ji would not cause any trouble, the recording soldier finally agreed to his request. While asking his companions who were carrying the corpse to find Hott, he led him to the innermost side of the corridor.

Gu Ji stood outside the door and waited for a long time.

It was not until he heard the voice of "OK" from inside that he began to talk:

"Sheriff Penny, this is Hunk..."

"Henk?"

Penny's puzzled voice came from behind the door, as if he remembered him, and then asked urgently: "When can I leave here?"

"It depends on when the military can finish its investigation. I saw the numbers you wrote down. They are computer codes. Have you ever learned computer knowledge before?"

"Computer? I've never touched that thing..."

Gu Jiyi mentioned the code.

Penny's state immediately became different.

Even through a door, Gu Ji seemed to be able to feel his body twitching from time to time and him mumbling to himself.

The computer codes that spewed out of his mouth were disorganized yet carried an inexplicable rhythm, "01001100, 01101111 01110110..."

Gu Ji listened to the hoarse and trembling voice.

I carefully compared the code with the one I just wrote in my notes, and the results were all correct, without a single error.

This shows that this string of numbers was not made up by Penny.

"Sheriff Penny, why did this code pop up in your mind?"

"I don't know. I don't recognize these numbers at all. They are like someone talking in my head. They keep buzzing and making me feel uncomfortable..."

Penny's tone became more and more painful.

According to his description, he felt that the UFO had implanted this string of information into his brain.

His mission is to spread this string of numbers.

As long as you speak it out and share it with others, you will feel much better.

"Do you really believe what he said?"

Suddenly.

Just when Gu Ji was standing there thinking seriously.

Hott suddenly came over from the door with two people.

Gu Ji nodded seriously.

Although Penny's explanation sounded a little strange, he didn't think he was lying.

You know, even the game system can easily map Gu Ji's operations in the level to the character in the real world and control this person at will;

There are also various skill enhancements, and with just a thought, a large amount of knowledge can be instilled into the mind.

So it is extremely easy for the mysterious sphere to implant a piece of information into the human brain.

Holt did not continue speaking, but entered the interrogation room with the two people behind him.

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.

He recognized one of the short men in white protective clothing as the expert from the secret research institute that Holt had paid the most attention to before. Paul's madness might be related to this man.

Next, the three asked some repetitive questions.

Penny's answer was the same as before.

For the first time, Holt seemed undecided.

"Professor Chris, what do you think?"

"At least on the surface, there are no loopholes. These numbers are indeed computer codes. I took a rough look and the code should be divided into two parts. The front part looks like text information, and the back part is garbled. However, the specific content still needs to be carefully deciphered!"

"Thank you so much, Professor!"

The conversation between the two was very brief.

Gu Ji remembered the voice of this professor, the short man in a white coat.

As soon as the questioning was over, Penny again asked the military when they would let him out.

As a result, Hott ignored him and led his men out of the room without even glancing at Gu Ji who was waiting outside the door.

"etc!"

Gu Ji called out to the three people.

Holt stopped and turned his head.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Anything else?"

"After the code is deciphered, can you give me a copy of the information?"

"sure."

Holt's answer was very straightforward, which surprised Gu Ji. Until the next sentence, it really made his scalp tingle: "If you can live to that time..."

This moment.

Gu Jicai finally reacted.

It was obvious that Hoth and he were in the same barracks yesterday, but only he and Sahana were infected with anthrax, while Hoth was safe and sound.

besides.

All the British and American soldiers of that special force, including the experts and researchers in the institute, appeared normal.

This is an extremely unreasonable infection pattern.

It can only prove one thing:

Hott and his gang had already been injected with the live attenuated vaccine from the "Vollum 14578" anthrax experiment, so they didn't have to worry about being infected.

Yesterday's emergency disinfection, including the blockade and everything else, was done for ordinary soldiers and outsiders like them to see.

Conventional anthrax requires treatment with antibiotics, but for biological weapon-grade anthrax like this, ordinary antibiotics are completely ineffective. Once infected, the death is certain.

"No wonder this guy suddenly stopped caring about me. It turns out he knows I'm doomed."

Gu Ji's face suddenly turned cold.

Now he has two choices:

1. Continue to live and try to collect as much information as possible before dying;

Second, break off relations with Hoth directly, break into the military confidential area and try your luck. If you are lucky, you may be able to dig up high-value intelligence directly.

He turned his head and glanced at the closed door of the interrogation room.

It is unlikely that you will be able to continue to contact Penney;

As for the clues from Bakken, he either had to find Paul in the confidential area or escape from the military base and investigate personally, but neither of them worked for him.

And because Holt restricted him from making phone calls, Gu Ji couldn't even understand the current smog crisis in London.

The only window for obtaining information is the task progress bar in the lower left corner of the field of vision.

It shows [Current Death Toll]: 312.

Therefore, it doesn't make much sense for him to continue to maintain the status quo.

There is only one way left...

Dry!!

Gu Ji's eyes flashed, he was going to die sooner or later anyway, he might as well roll up his sleeves and get to work.

Then an idea came to mind.

[T1 special forces support is being deployed, estimated waiting time... 53 seconds! ]

[Heavy attack aircraft are being deployed. Estimated waiting time: 43 seconds...]

Looking at the system prompt floating in the air in front of me.

Gu Ji took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his body, and walked out of the barracks step by step.

Just at that moment when the system prompts that the deployment is successful.

The base suddenly sounded a sharp air raid alarm.

The shrill sound of the whistle was like the roar of a ghost, penetrating the thick fog and echoing throughout the sky of London.

The soldiers in the base immediately fell into chaos.

Faintly, Gu Ji heard a low rumbling sound, like the roar of a devil.

He glanced at the upper left corner, which clearly showed the view of a heavy attack aircraft.

At this moment, it was appearing in the low sky over southern London. The huge and sturdy black fuselage exuded a cold metallic luster in the fog. Various machine guns and howitzer weapons were mounted under the wings, like ferocious fangs.

Gu Ji swept his mind and the heavy attack aircraft's aiming system locked onto the air force base.

In an instant, the 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon and the 40mm Bofors cannon spewed out flames at the same time, dense rain of bullets poured down like a rainstorm, and a large number of howitzers smashed the buildings and facilities in the base like crazy.

Explosions rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

The air base was in complete chaos.

At the commander's call, the soldiers hurriedly began to launch anti-aircraft weapons to counterattack. Several 40mm Bofors and some twin 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft machine guns turned their muzzles and fired wildly into the air.

However, in this thick haze, they had no idea of ​​the location of the heavy attack aircraft, and everything was in vain.

"Damn it! Is it the Soviet Union that has invaded?"

"The enemy's firepower is too strong. I'm afraid there is more than one. Quickly get the fighter planes to take off! No matter what, we must shoot down that damn enemy plane!"

As flames and explosions rang out, the base commander and Hawke began to anxiously organize their men to prepare for a counterattack.

Obviously.

They mistook the heavy attack aircraft summoned by Gu Ji for an invading Soviet formation.

Yes, the most powerful attack aircraft during this period was the Soviet Il-20 heavy ground attack aircraft with only three machine guns, which was no match for the AC130 aerial gunboat tank, which was only developed in the middle of the Cold War.

At the urging of the commander.

British and American Air Force pilots had no choice but to enter the hangar and start their P-80 Shooting Star and F-86 Sabre fighter jets.

But because of the extremely low visibility caused by smog, they could only rely on the lights of the air force ground crew and the faint indicator lights on both sides of the runway.

As a result, before the fighter planes entered the runway, they were shot into sieves by the machine guns of the heavy attack plane controlled by Gu Ji. The second plane flew in the wrong direction and crashed into the facilities on the lawn.

But there were still pilots who gritted their teeth, accelerated their fighter jets, rushed into the sky, and disappeared into the fog.

Gu Ji didn't care because the T1 special forces support he summoned had already arrived.

Under the firepower of the attack aircraft, the iron net of the base was just a layer of paper, and the team advanced to the camp in just a dozen seconds.

Gu Ji took a glance.

There were six people in total, all wearing gas masks on their faces, with different clothes and weapons, including Sterling submachine guns, MG42 light machine guns, and Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles.

He had thought that the support deployed in the classic level system would be based on the standards of modern special forces, but he did not expect that it would still be based on the weapons standards of this era.

The clothing of several of them particularly caught his attention.

The black combat uniform seemed to be similar to the style of the special forces under Hott at Bentwall Air Force Base! (End of this chapter)
