Chapter 288 - 265: Software
In the abandoned subway tunnel, Li Cheng’s face writhed, shedding his disguise but still donning the same grey trench coat that Eugene wore.
Gray Rain was beside him, dismantling the black curtains, fill lights, and camera, and packing up the tablet computer that originally belonged to the Whale Song Guild of Bartmos.
Normally, only Bartmos himself could hack into the network system using the tablet computer, but due to the setting of the Erosion Level, Bartmos didn’t want to expend Spiritual Power Value every time.
He simply coded a simple program in a matter of minutes that allowed one-click access to Toy City’s network.
Unexpectedly, he was eliminated early on, and the windfall went to Li Cheng, who was able to disguise himself as Eugene, record the video, and easily send it to the televisions and smartphones of millions of Toy City residents using the tablet computer.
"Is this really going to work?"
Gray Rain muttered, "When the morning news hits, couldn’t the Toy City broadcasters just claim the video content is AI synthesized, a terrorist conspiracy?
Moreover, City Hall has high-end combat forces like Naruto and the Terrorist Mobile Team to maintain order."
"The average citizens of Toy City might be skeptical and follow the instructions of City Hall, continuing to work and live their lives. But those who had friends and family forcibly taken away due to malfunction syndrome won’t be so compliant."
Li Cheng said, "City Hall has significantly downplayed the spread and mortality rate of malfunction syndrome. The actual number of affected people is much higher than the numbers released.
If they hadn’t seen the video, the citizens could still deceive themselves, believing that City Hall is making an effort, and that there was still hope for their friends and family.
