Chapter 175: The Lark Runs Out of Control
"It's finally over, V."

Li De breathed a sigh of relief. The intensity of the battle was not high for him, but he still felt extremely heavy.

It can be said that this is the most difficult task that Li De has completed since joining the United Nations Intelligence Agency, because he must take action against his beloved disciple!

The tormenting condemnation of his conscience and the heavy responsibility of liberating his motherland made him feel the double pain of being drowned in deep water and burned by fire at all times.

No matter which choice he makes, he is wrong.

"Yeah, it's all over."

V didn't hear the hidden meaning of Li De's words. He just smiled and patted his shoulder, then walked towards Song Zhaomei.

But before V could get close to Song Zhaomei, he suddenly discovered that Song Zhaomei seemed to have been infected with some unknown virus.

Symptoms of systemic convulsions appeared, and the whole body of the person had an indescribable twist and weirdness.

Instead of helping, Alex pressed Song Zhaomei to the ground, as if he was going to handcuff her.

"What the hell is going on? What did you do to Song Zhaomei?!"

There was no one else here, and when V saw Song Zhaomei get into an accident, he would naturally suspect that Li De and the others had done something to Song Zhaomei.

Faced with V's puzzled and angry questioning, Li De told the truth very frankly and confessed everything about how Alex used the ice-breaking procedure to restrain Song Zhaomei.

"V, we have to bring Song Zhaomei back to the Joint Intelligence Bureau. This is the only way for her to survive. There is no other way!"

"As long as New America exists, the Joint Intelligence Agency exists, and President Miles exists, Song Zhaomei will never be truly free."

"Living in humiliation in a cage is better than dying miserably. We must do this!"

Li De's tone was low and solemn, but it was also vaguely mixed with a deep sense of helplessness.

After all, he is just a more useful dog beside Miles. As long as the president needs him, he is always ready to work for the organization.

A small person like him doesn't even have the right to choose his own future, so how can he help others choose their future?

Li De knew very well in his mind that as long as Song Zhaomei did not return to the FIAB, New America would never stop hunting her down.

In order for Song Zhaomei to survive, Li De was willing to accept it even if he would be hated and resented by her forever.

V did not immediately refute Li De's blind loyalty, but turned around and looked at Song Zhaomei.

At this time, Song Zhaomei was being pinned to the ground by Alex. She was so weak that she could only look at V with desperate and pitiful eyes.

She really wanted to shout to V and ask for help, asking V not to believe Li De’s nonsense.

As long as V chooses to stand on her side, she can still escape to the airport with V and cure her illness.

However, the ice-breaking program that Alex implanted into Song Zhaomei's body was more powerful than she imagined.

Song Zhaomei felt countless weak electric currents raging wildly in her body, as if thousands of tiny insects were gnawing at her internal organs.

A tingling electric current quickly passed through the circuits of every prosthetic device in Song Zhaomei's body.

This almost made Song Zhaomei lose the strength to speak. She could only lift her tired and heavy eyelids, squeeze out a few words from her throat, and beg V:

"V, save me..."

Although the ice-breaking procedure will not cause fatal harm to Song Zhaomei, it can perfectly grasp her resistance limit.

If Song Zhaomei wants to break free from the restrictions of the icebreaking program, she can either rely on Alex to use the cracking program to remove it, or she can only rely on the black wall protocol!
But in this way, she would be killed together with V, Li De, and Alex. Song Zhaomei didn't know what terrible things she would do if she lost control.

I have no idea what the roaming AI outside the black wall will do to me, whose consciousness has been eroded and swallowed up by the black wall.

Maybe she would kill everyone present, or maybe she would die on the spot. Song Zhaomei didn't dare to take the risk, so she hoped that V could stand on his side.

Seeing that the silent V seemed to agree with what he said, Li De walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said while the iron was hot:

"V, we have to hurry up. The Hellhound soldiers outside have received the alarm. I estimate that they will surround this place in three minutes."

"Let's leave Bao Shi Qing first while there is still time!"

Li De knew what V was thinking. He simply felt sympathy for this lost lark and wanted to help her.

Maybe Song Zhaomei and V reached some kind of exchange of interests, but what Song Zhaomei can give to V, New America can definitely give to him.

What's more, Song Zhaomei is a member of the CIA and a wanted criminal selected by President Miles. I'm afraid no one in America can take her away.

Even if V is from the company, it won’t work!

"No, Li De, I must take Song Zhaomei away from Dog Town today, and no one can stop me!"

V turned around and said to Li De in a firm and fierce tone: "You'd better not force me to do it."

Seeing that V was like a reckless and impulsive calf, Li De's expression suddenly changed. He coldly warned V:

"V, if you want to take Song Zhaomei away, you must give me a suitable reason, otherwise I will never hand her over to you no matter what."

"This is an order from President Miles himself!"

Seeing V confronting Li De toughly, as if V had not given up on him, Song Zhaomei's desperate mentality that was on the verge of collapse finally improved a little.

But the next second, V's words suddenly made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave, and even the corners of her mouth that were about to rise froze in an instant!

"Because this is the order that Mr. Li Ang personally gave to you and me. Is this a suitable reason?"

After saying that, V took out a coin engraved with the LA logo. This is an exclusive token for LA company agents, and each department has a different token.

The tokens of LA company held by V and Li De are these button-sized coins.

This means that they belong to the same company department and take direct orders from Li Ang.

When mentioning Li Ang and LA Company, V's voice was intimidating without being angry. Li De, who was about to turn against V and launch a sneak attack on him, was stunned.

Obviously, V's coin token and the information he revealed previously are enough to prove that he is an agent of LA Company!
All of V's actions represent Leon's will!
"Li De, do you think I came to Dog Town to be Miles' lackey? No! Everything I did was the task assigned to me by Mr. Li Ang."

"Including joining the so-called Joint Intelligence Bureau!"

At this moment, it was Li De who was stunned. He didn't expect that V was actually the agent sent by Li Ang, and the order he was to execute was to take Song Zhaomei away.

If that's the case, then how should he choose as both a sleeper agent of LA Company and an agent of the CIA?

One is the president of a super giant company, and the other is the president of the new America. Two bosses, the same goal. Reed doesn't know what to do.

It seemed like no matter what he chose, it was always the wrong answer.

V could see that Li De was in a dilemma, so he took the initiative to push him and tried to pull him onto the right path.

"Li De, this is your and Alex's last chance to join LA Company. Time is running out for you and me. You must make a choice as soon as possible."

"This is the only time you can control your own destiny. It's up to you to decide how to choose!"

After he finished speaking, V stood in front of Li De and looked him straight in the eye. If Li De still chose to stand on Miles' side, he would insist on bringing Song Zhaomei back to the Joint Intelligence Bureau.

Then V would have no choice but to go on a killing spree, stabbing Reed and Alex to death directly like he killed Hansen.

Just as Li De lowered his head and fell into a state of tangled thought, Song Zhaomei, who was pressed to the ground by Alex, suddenly let out a hoarse sneer and choked sound.

"V, it turns out you lied to me too."

Song Zhaomei's body began to tremble uncontrollably due to the violent emotional fluctuations. She raised her head and stared at V, her thoughts confused and complicated.

Sadness and anger intertwined in Song Zhaomei's heart.

She thought V and Li De were really here to help her, but she didn't expect that one of them was for the company and the other for the Intelligence Bureau. They just wanted to use her life to exchange for their own future!
He even shamelessly said that it was for her own good.

From beginning to end, all of this was nothing but hypocrisy, betrayal, and insatiable greed.

No one is really on her side!

Including V, the person on whom he placed all his hopes.

Just when Alex wanted to manipulate the ice-breaking program to increase the restrictions on Song Zhaomei, she suddenly discovered that the program seemed to have been forcibly cracked by some unknown data.

"What's going on? Why did the program fail?!"

Alex gave several instructions to the program in succession, but there was no response at all.

What's even worse is that the program virus that was supposed to restrain Song Zhaomei actually infected Alex and took effect instantly!

Boom!
Accompanied by a crisp explosion, the prosthetic device in Alex's body suddenly short-circuited, emitting a dazzling spark.

She fainted on the spot and her life or death is unknown.

"Alex!"

Li De and V shouted at the same time. Only now did they realize that Song Zhaomei's whole body was actually wrapped in some kind of dark red electric current.

It was as if some mysterious and strange power suddenly possessed her.

Song Zhaomei's eyes also changed from normal human pupils to scarlet red like a combat robot, and the area around her eyes was covered with tiny and hideous black lines!

"This... this is a black wall. Song Zhaomei was attacked by the black wall!"

V, who has also used the power of the black wall, knows Song Zhaomei's current strange state very well. No one knows better than him what it's like to be attacked by the black wall. However, V also has the AI ​​White Queen in his mind, which can help him quickly resolve the negative feelings brought by the black wall. Song Zhaomei, who has nothing, can only bear this huge pain alone!

"V, I...I have always trusted you so much. I thought we were the same kind of people, but you disappoint me so much. Really, so disappointing!"

The sound made by Song Zhaomei seemed to be a mixture of fragmented human voice, electronic sound, and the friction sound of metal.

It gives people an indescribable weird feeling.

In fact, the "thing" that is now controlling Song Zhaomei's body is not entirely herself. There are many other things in her body.

When Song Zhaomei forcibly used the black wall protocol, relying on the data flow formed by the black wall and external flowing AI to break through the constraints of the icebreaking program.

Her consciousness data was instantly invaded by the black wall's AI data stream, but Song Zhaomei's original consciousness was still there, but she was unable to control her body.

It can be said that Song Zhaomei is now like an AI container that has been cracked by the black wall, and the roaming AI outside the black wall can enter and exit her body freely.

Song Zhaomei's original consciousness must fight against this group of powerful and numerous roaming AIs at any time to compete for control of the body.

So from the perspective of V and Li De, Song Zhaomei, who slowly stood up from the ground, seemed to be infected with some zombie virus, and slowly walked towards them with twisted and weird limbs movements.

"V, I really don't want to hurt you. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. We could have left here together."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhaomei raised her hand and released a dark red electric current towards Li De beside V. This was a highly potent attack virus written by the Black Wall Protocol.

It will be a devastating blow to anyone with prosthetic devices!

However, Song Zhaomei did not completely kill Li De with her attack. She only released less than 10% of its power.

But even so, Li De still quickly passed out from the severe pain all over his body, and he was completely unable to fight back!

Seeing this scene, V knew it was too late to say anything. Song Zhaomei, who had gone crazy, would not listen to anything he said. He had to knock her down as soon as possible.

"Song Zhaomei, come with me now. I promise that you will be able to regain your life and freedom. Just believe me this time!"

While V was shouting at the out-of-control Song Zhaomei, trying to awaken her consciousness, he secretly activated the Chapter 6 device, preparing to pack up the puppet program and launch a sonic shock at her.

[No! It's too late! ! ]

Song Zhaomei's already scarlet artificial eye became even brighter, and her voice turned into a harsh voice made entirely of electronic mixture.

It seemed as if the person speaking was not a human, but some unknown mechanical creature.

V knew very well that the thing talking to him at this moment should be the wandering AI that ran into Song Zhaomei's body from outside the black wall.

They possessed Song Zhaomei's body like cyber ghosts, coming and going freely, as if they had come to a strange ocean.

Just when Song Zhaomei was about to launch an electromagnetic invasion attack on V, V activated the device first and caused sonic shock damage to Song Zhaomei.

V caught her off guard with a sneak attack. Song Zhaomei, who had just planned to kill V, suddenly became frightened and stopped moving forward.

Because the AIs wandering around in her body sensed a very terrifying presence.

That is the data information belonging to the AI ​​White Queen!

In the primary network space outside the black wall, the AI ​​White Queen has long become a kind of god-level AI that cannot be described, touched, or looked at directly.

None of the roving AIs that encounter the AI ​​White Queen have a good ending.

At this moment, Song Zhaomei realized that V was the hidden cyber monster, and even his body was occupied by the AI ​​White Queen!
Just as she was about to retreat and escape, the Hellhound soldiers who came to support her broke in through the door.

When he saw the warehouse in a mess and his bosses Hansen and Gago lying on the ground in miserable death, Bennett was horrified at first, and then secretly delighted.

Hansen is dead, and from now on he is the new king of Dogtown!
"Damn it, kill this agent for me!"

Bennett reacted quickly. Since someone killed Hansen, as a subordinate, he should avenge his boss first.

In an instant, the entire warehouse was filled with gunfire. Dense bullets formed a fire net, attacking V madly.

"Hold!"

Faced with this situation of being attacked from both sides, V had to free up his hands to deal with Bennett and his gang first. Anyway, there was only so much space in the warehouse, and Song Zhaomei probably couldn't run away.

However, just as V activated the Swanwestin device and prepared to quickly and closely kill the group of Netherhound soldiers who came to cause trouble.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of Song Zhaomei summoning a large flat-headed combat robot from somewhere. He followed the robot, broke through the wall, and quickly left the warehouse.

But there were so many Phantom Hound soldiers here, like locusts. After killing one batch, there was another batch, making V almost exhausted.

Fortunately, not long after, the Nether Dog soldiers who came to support were inexplicably attacked by their own drones and robots.

It turned out that the out-of-control Song Zhaomei took control of the entire Dog Town's mechanical equipment through the Black Wall Protocol and launched an indiscriminate attack on all living creatures.

Now the entire Dog Town, and even most of the Taiping Island area, has become a mess because of Song Zhaomei's rampage and loss of control, with gunshots and wailing everywhere!
"This is a big deal."

……

The sudden incident inside the Sapphire Blue Hotel spread rapidly to the surrounding areas like a virulent plague.

The border guards of Dog Town soon received an emergency transfer order from Bennett, so they had to send some men back for support.

As a result, the garrison forces blocking the entrances and exits of Dog Town instantly became as weak as paper.

A team of elite agents from the CIA took advantage of the situation and, after breaking through a garrison point, they quickly moved deep into the dog town.

At this moment, Li Ang, who was far away in the control hall of the LA company headquarters, had seen through the captain of this special agent team's mounted front camera that they were rushing towards an unfinished building.

It is obvious that the place this team of agents is going to is exactly where President Miles is hiding!
"30 meters away from the target point."

"20 meters from the target."

"15 meters away!"

"..."

The captain of the special agent team kept sending situation reports. The person who sent out this special agent team was not Leon, but Lucas Harford, the acting president of the New America.

Not long ago, Li Ang had reached a profit cooperation with Harford, and he saw that there was a financial sponsor like LA company willing to support him to get promoted.

Naturally, Harford willingly handed Leon the leash to restrain himself, and was willing to work like a slave for the LA company, even if he was just a puppet president.

When you do not have any power to compete with the other party, knowing the situation and being a good dog is the correct answer to maximize your interests.

Harford knows this truth very well. Instead of fighting for power with various forces every day like Miles, it is better to lie down and start.

Now Harford sent out this special agent team with only one purpose, and that is to assassinate Miles!
Soon, the elite soldiers of the squad arrived at Miles' hiding place. After breaking into the door and noticing two street thugs guarding the gate, they immediately shot and killed them.

This series of dense and crisp gunshots woke Miles up immediately, but she did not panic because she could tell that this was the CIA's special service gun.

"Stop the fucking thing! Who told you to shoot?"

Miles, who should have been happy that she was about to be rescued, not only did not feel the slightest bit of joy in her heart, but instead felt extremely shocked and angry.

These soldiers actually dared to shoot and kill people without her instructions. It was clear that they did not take her seriously!

Only a few days had passed since the crash of the Kongtian-1 airship, and the special agents under the CIA dared to act so recklessly.

Miles would never allow this to happen!

"These two men are working for me. How dare you shoot in front of me, the president? Is this how Harford asked you to rescue people?"

"Who told you to shoot?!"

Miles stared at the captain of the leading special agent team. Although the captain was dressed like a dumpling and her facial features could not be seen clearly, she was still sure that he was from the CIA.

"I ask you again, who told you to shoot?"

Just when Miles was furious and wanted to re-establish his authority as the president in front of everyone by harshly reprimanding.

The captain of this special forces team suddenly waved his hand and asked the soldier next to him to take out an electronic board.

The video content displayed on the electronic board was exactly the background of the LA company headquarters and Leon himself!

"It's you, Mr. Leon?!"

The moment he saw Leon, Miles did not feel the slightest bit happy about the appearance of this close ally.

On the contrary, her mood instantly changed from the joy of being rescued to depression and worry.

In fact, as early as when the Sky-1 airship was shot down, Miles had already suspected whether LA company was also involved.

But Miles could never accept this speculation. She would rather the truth be that Song Zhaomei betrayed her than see herself being liquidated by the LA company.

"Mr. Leon, what is going on? Where are Harford and the others? Why are you the one contacting me?"

Miles forced himself to suppress his inner panic and tried to maintain his composure and pride as president in front of Leon.

But her slightly trembling hands still betrayed her panic.

And these subtle movements were all seen by Li Ang.
