The Mine

Hearing Vajra's words, Sun Jack's expression turned grim. "If that's the case, then someone else hacked into my system? The killer Cyber Maniac isn't one person, but two?!"

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Si Ai, holding a gun, walked over. "Hacking into a system requires absolute calm. It doesn't look like something a Cyber Maniac could do."

Sun Jack walked to the woman's side, looking at her corpse, which was growing cold under the washing rain, his expression very complex.

"What do we do now? Can we just hand the woman over to Lesson 6?" Si Ai asked.

"Do you think the people from Lesson 6 are idiots? They'll definitely want to find that hacker. Otherwise, they won't pay," Song 6PUS said with a helpless expression.

But finding a hacker whose location was unknown was not an easy task. The investigation had hit a dead end.

"Sigh, this whole mess. Let's just go back first." Song 6PUS looked up at the Acid Rain falling from the sky and quickened his pace towards the car.

However, Sun Jack didn't leave. He looked at the infant in the woman's transparent abdomen and felt a pang of sympathy.

"If I just leave it like this, this child will probably die here." Taipai, can you save it?"

Taipai quickly crouched beside Sun Jack. Glancing in the direction Sun Jack was looking, his sensory wires quickly extended, rapidly cutting into the woman's corpse.

Although the front of the woman's transparent abdomen was very tough, it could be easily opened from the back.

At this moment, the others also noticed Taipai's actions and gathered around slightly.

"Bro, fuck me, what kind of fetish is that?" Song 6PUS, watching from the side, felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Can you help, or not? If not, shut the fuck up."

Si Ai squatted down and took a scalpel from her thigh, quickly cutting along the transparent belly.

Soon, the red, premature infant, no bigger than a palm, was held in Sun Jack's hands. It seemed to have stopped breathing.

"Let's try our best, even if it's a dead horse." Sun Jack carefully began to give it artificial respiration.

"Wait, this... this texture is wrong." Although Sun Jack had never touched a premature infant before, this one felt noticeably more resilient.

After Sun Jack carefully examined the infant's entire body, he discovered a miniature port inside its left ear.

"Fuck! Is this place insane? They even installed a Nervous System in an unborn child!? Is there really that much urgency?"

As soon as Sun Jack said this, he immediately felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Suddenly, Taipai reacted and reached out, pointing at the premature infant. "Jack, the hacker!"

"The hacker?! Him?" Sun Jack looked at the premature infant in his hands, finding it hard to believe. How could this be possible?

And at this moment, Vajra, also a hacker, reacted first. "This premature infant is that hacker's Meat Chicken! What was in its belly before wasn't Amniotic Fluid, it was Coolant!"

"Quick! Someone open a Serial Port for me! I want to see if I can try to trace it back!" Vajra's voice rang out in the team channel.

"I have it, you can come over." The next moment, the priest clasped his hands together and chanted "Amitabha". Vajra quickly squatted down, pulled out a data cable from his forearm, and inserted it into an interface behind the baby's ear.

Meanwhile, Sun Jack, under the scrutiny of the Nervous System, finally understood what a "meat chicken" was. Hackers generally called computers they could fully control after an intrusion "meat chickens."

When a living person was implanted with the Nervous System, theoretically, they could be hacked and fully controlled.

But when Sun Jack saw the premature baby in his hands, the rage in his heart couldn't be suppressed. "Damn it, what kind of beasts are these? They can even turn unborn babies into tools!"

In the past, no matter how perverse or bizarre things were encountered in this place, Sun Jack had tried his best to adapt. But today's event had truly crossed his bottom line; he really couldn't adapt.

Just then, Vajra's tall body began to convulse. "Ah... Amitabha, this son of a bitch Benefactor released so much Black Ice Virus. Fortunately, this Monk is not to be trifled with!"

The priest's convulsing body quickly recovered. "Found it, sending the location to you! Hurry and chase, he's moving!"

When he saw the location pop up directly on the system interface, Sun Jack immediately jumped onto Taipai's back. "Chase! Catch this beast, I'm going to skin him alive!"

Taipai's wheels spun rapidly, crushing puddles and rushing out of the dim C3 Zone. Taipai was the fastest; only Si Ai's Drone could keep up.

Si Ai's voice came from the Drone. "Jack, open your Cybernetic Eye permissions and share your vision! Vajra is holding him off online, we'll be there soon!"

"Okay! Got it!"

Sun Jack soon arrived at the location. It wasn't too far, also in Puxi District, in an underground parking lot in C5 Zone.

As Sun Jack walked into the underground parking lot, he found that the coordinates Vajra had given were in a large garage at the very back.

Looking at the Garage Door before him, Sun Jack, with rage in his eyes, didn't say a word and directly blasted it open.

A bone-chilling cold slowly emanated from within. Under the cool-toned lights, the first thing Sun Jack saw were rows of people with their backs to him.

"Taipai, turn on your Infrared, I'll use my naked eye. Let's be careful!" After Sun Jack gave Taipai the order, he slowly walked in.

It was large inside, and very long. It looked like they had connected this entire section of the garage.

As he got closer, Sun Jack saw more details of those people. They were sitting cross-legged, with various data cables plugged into their spines and heads.

Although the surrounding air was cold and the temperature was very low, these people had flushed red faces, and smoke was actually rising from their heads.

Judging by their clothes, they were all homeless people, just like the ones downstairs from Sun Jack.

"What on earth is going on?" Sun Jack looked at the incomprehensible scene before him with great unease. As he spoke, the water vapor he exhaled condensed into white mist in the air.

"These are Human Mines." The priest's voice came into Sun Jack's ears.

"This guy is using human brains to mine Crypto Coins, which is why they need physical cooling. This is an Artificial Mine."

"Fuck! Disgusting! So disgusting!"

When Sun Jack discovered that the hacker wasn't just using babies as tools, but was directly treating people like machines, the rage in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

What kind of beast could do such a thing?
