NFBE Chapter 1523 Hacker Hypnosis
Chapter 1523 Hacker Hypnosis
After more than five hours of violent bumping along rugged mountain roads and through dense jungles, the convoy finally stopped in front of a huge mountain that looked ordinary but was actually anything but simple.
The mountain is majestic, covered with extremely dense vegetation and vines, making it almost impossible to see any human presence.
Chen Jun pushed open the car door and got out, looking up at the silent behemoth.
His gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through the layers of green barriers and thick rocks.
Thanks to the Strategic Bureau's unique terrain scanning technology and the intelligence obtained from previous interrogations, the scene he "saw" was completely different from others—the mountain had already been hollowed out by extremely precise engineering methods, and the intricate passages, chambers of varying sizes, and concealed ventilation and energy systems... constituted a huge and solid underground fortress.
The Abyss Organization's core stronghold in southern Vietnam is likely hidden deep within this mountain.
"Boss, this is it." Geng Jihui walked to Chen Jun's side, also looking up at the mountain with a grave expression. He could sense the "unusual" nature of this mountain, an intuition born from countless brushes with death. "How do we proceed? A direct assault or infiltration?"
Chen Jun withdrew his gaze and turned to Geng Jihui and the other team members who had gathered around him, his eyes calm.
"Proceed as planned." His voice was clear and decisive. "Geng Jihui, you will lead the remaining fourteen team members, along with Lu Da's group from the Strategic Bureau, to establish perimeter and support positions. Control all possible access routes and high ground, and establish communication relays. Your support and firepower will be crucial should fighting break out inside or enemy reinforcements appear."
Geng Jihui frowned slightly: "Boss, you're only taking five people in? Isn't that... too risky? The situation inside is unknown; the number of enemies and the strength of their defenses are both unknown..."
Chen Jun shook his head, interrupting his worries: "Precisely because the situation is unclear, and the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, we need elite squads to quickly infiltrate, strike at the heart of the enemy, and catch them off guard. Too many people will only make us more vulnerable and slow down our actions. Your role outside is not only to provide support, but also to ensure our retreat and to be our main force in dealing with emergencies. Remember, if the signal inside is interrupted for longer than the predetermined time, or if a large-scale firefight breaks out, you have the authority to decide whether to launch a strong attack to provide support, or to take other necessary measures, depending on the situation on the ground."
He entrusted Geng Jihui with peripheral command and a certain degree of on-the-spot decision-making authority, which was an absolute sign of trust.
Geng Jihui took a deep breath, said no more, stood at attention and said in a deep voice, "Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission! Boss, please be careful!"
Chen Jun nodded, his gaze shifting to several figures in the group:
"He Chenguang, Li Erniu, Wang Yanbing, Leng Feng, Paratroopers, step forward!"
"Here!" the five responded in unison, quickly leaving the ranks and standing in front of Chen Jun, their eyes filled with eager excitement and a hint of tension.
"You five, come in with me," Chen Jun said succinctly. "Check the equipment, especially night vision, communications, and close-combat weapons. We'll be leaving in three minutes."
"Yes!"
Three minutes later, Chen Jun led his elite six-man infiltration team, disappearing silently like ghosts into the dense, almost opaque rainforest at the foot of the mountain, quickly vanishing behind layers of green curtains.
The forest was dimly lit, the air damp and stifling, thick with the stench of decaying leaves and earth. Underfoot lay a tangled web of tree roots and slippery moss, making progress exceptionally difficult. But the six men were clearly trained for extreme environments, moving swiftly and silently, maintaining a tacitly coordinated tactical distance from one another.
Less than two hundred meters in, Chen Jun raised his hand, signaling to stop. He crouched down, his sharp eyes scanning the seemingly natural vines and tree trunks ahead. Where nothing appeared out of the ordinary to an average person, he, with the aid of his goggles, clearly "saw" at least three cleverly camouflaged wide-angle surveillance cameras, their cables concealed along the tree trunks and vines, leading towards the mountainside. Further away, there seemed to be a faint signal from an infrared sensor.
The defense was indeed tight, leaving almost no blind spots.
Chen Jun frowned slightly, his mind racing as he considered how to bypass or disable the surveillance cameras without alerting the enemy and quietly approach the possible entrance. A direct assault on the entrance would inevitably alert the entire base; searching for ventilation ducts or other hidden passages would take time and carry unknown risks.
Just as he was pondering and weighing his options—
A long-lost, cold, and mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his mind!
[Special environment detected for the host: a highly guarded, covert technological outpost, with extensive electronic surveillance and possibly bio-modified guards.]
[Under certain conditions, activate and grant a special skill—Hacker Hypnosis (Beginner).]
Chen Jun's heart skipped a beat! The system? It had been dormant for quite some time.
[Hacker Hypnosis: Not a traditional form of psychological suggestion or verbal guidance. This skill is derived from the host's integrated top-level biomagnetic field and mental perception abilities, combined with a deep understanding and interference technique of bioelectrical signals (especially brainwaves).]
[Skill Principle: Releases precisely modulated special biomagnetic field fluctuations to directionally affect the brainwave activity of a target individual, interfering with their level of consciousness, perception, and judgment, and even implanting simple action commands within a very short time. This can be viewed as a direct "software" (consciousness) intrusion and interference targeting the biological "hardware" (brain).]
[Note: This skill is also effective on targets who have undergone neural system enhancement or modification, by bypassing or overriding their original neural signaling pathways. The skill's effectiveness, duration, and controllability increase with the host's mental strength and skill proficiency.]
As the system provided a brief yet information-rich explanation, Chen Jun's eyes suddenly lit up in the dim forest, like a beast spotting its prey.
Good guy!
This is simply... a power tailor-made for his current situation!
To be honest, facing an organization like "The Abyss"—possessing suspected alien technology, capable of bizarrely modifying the human body, and creating "bio-warriors"—Chen Jun felt a deep sense of pressure. Their individual combat prowess was one thing, but his biggest concern was the potential for their technology to mature and be mass-produced, causing a disruptive impact on the existing security landscape. Any unknown, large-scale supernatural force is a significant destabilizing factor.
This "hacker hypnosis" sounds like a natural enemy or nemesis of this kind of "biomodification technology"! No matter how much you strengthen your muscles, reinforce your bones, or even change your pain nerves, as long as your thoughts and consciousness still need the brain as a biological organ to carry them, you can't escape this kind of "hacker" intrusion and interference that directly targets brainwaves!
"Integrate immediately!" Chen Jun gave the order in his mind without hesitation.
Almost instantly, Chen Jun felt as if his consciousness had been injected with a completely new "perceptual dimension." He could not only "feel" the subtle energy flow in his surroundings more clearly, but he could even vaguely "touch" the unique biomagnetic field fluctuations emanating from He Chenguang, Li Erniu, and others around him, which represented active thinking and tense emotions.
It was a very strange feeling, as if the world had opened another door in front of him, and behind the door was the "source code" level of biological consciousness.
He tried to concentrate and slightly adjust his biomagnetic field, releasing an extremely weak interference wave with a specific frequency towards the area behind the disguised camera on the nearest tree trunk.
There was nothing visible to the naked eye.
However, through his newly acquired mysterious perception, Chen Jun vaguely "senses" that a certain regular and weak electrical signal in that direction seems to have experienced an extremely brief and almost immeasurable disturbance before returning to normal.
Chen Jun understood. Basic skills weren't enough to silently disable electronic devices, but affecting a guard's perception and judgment... influencing a person's brainwaves, was no problem.
He quickly made a decision.
"Follow me." Chen Jun lowered his voice and said to the five team members behind him, "Ignore those surveillance cameras for now, keep up with my steps and rhythm, and pay attention to my hand gestures. If we encounter the enemy, follow my orders."
"Yes!" Although He Chenguang and the other four were surprised, they did not hesitate to obey Chen Jun's order and immediately responded in a low voice. At the same time, they became more tense, gripped their weapons tightly, quickened their pace, and followed closely behind Chen Jun.
Chen Jun chose a path with relatively sparse surveillance, no longer deliberately avoiding all detection points. Instead, he advanced rapidly towards the mountain in a seemingly reckless manner, but actually with a special rhythm and hidden strategies. He constantly fine-tuned the biomagnetic field emanating from himself, spreading it like invisible ripples in advance towards areas where ambushes or patrols might be present.
Just as they had ventured less than 500 meters into the jungle, still some distance from the rocky cliffs at the foot of the mountain—
"Da da da... Bang!"
From the outer perimeter, the crisp, rapid bursts of automatic rifle fire and sporadic explosions could be heard in the distance! The sounds were somewhat muffled in the dense jungle, but there was no doubt that Geng Jihui's outer support team had engaged the enemy! It was very likely that they had encountered the outer patrol or sentries of "The Abyss".
Almost at the same time!
"There are people ahead!" Wang Yanbing, who was acting as the scout, suddenly shouted and instantly lay down!
Suddenly, from a clearing in the woods and behind some rocks less than thirty meters ahead, seven or eight figures dressed in black combat uniforms emerged with lightning speed! They had clearly been alerted by the gunfire from the outside and were cautiously searching this way; the two sides almost collided head-on!
"Fire!" Without any hesitation, Chen Jun fired the first shot the instant the enemy raised their gun! The modified assault rifle in his hand spat out short, precise blasts of fire!
"Boom! Boom boom!"
At the same time, He Chenguang, Leng Feng, and others also opened fire! A fierce firefight broke out between the two sides instantly! Bullets whistled through the trees, breaking branches and leaves and sending wood chips flying.
While firing, Chen Jun growled into the communicator: "Proceed according to plan! Keep pushing forward! Don't linger! Find the entrance or weak point!"
He then added, his voice carrying an undeniable determination: "Listen up! Once inside the building, we might be scattered! Use the frequency of the special signal flare I emit as a guide to regroup towards the signal source! Until then, operate primarily in small groups or individually, hunt freely, create chaos, and search for the core area or important targets! Understand?!"
"Understood!" came the urgent response from He Chenguang and the others, mixed with the sound of gunfire, through the earpiece.
"Geng Jihui! The outer perimeter is in your hands! Proceed according to plan!" Chen Jun gave the order to the outer perimeter.
"Roger that! Boss, be careful!" Geng Jihui's voice came through the intense gunfire.
After giving his instructions, Chen Jun's eyes turned cold. He ignored the enemy who was fighting He Chenguang and the others, and suddenly darted forward! He no longer bothered to hide, and pushed his speed to the limit. Like a nimble cheetah, he used the trees and rocks for cover, and followed a dazzling zigzag route, rushing alone towards the mountain base where the gunfire was more intense and the defenses were obviously stronger!
Single-handedly, he pierced the heart!
