Chapter 1007: Infiltrate

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Zi said seriously, "That's the reason Skynet is sending so many Terminators to invade the present time - it wants to use a new Terminator model, the T-950, to try to create itself in the present world."

"That's crazy. It's incredible that Skynet is sending its underlings 30 years back to the past to recreate itself." Reef was visibly stunned.

"In fact, it's plan will succeed. Skynet has much more advanced technologies in its grasp compared to today's humans, so unless the whole world gives up on the internet from now on, Skynet will slowly build itself. Judgement Day is inevitable," said Zi.

"As for the legendary saviour John Connor, do you really think the politicians in power will recognise his status in the present circumstances? If his status is exposed, what awaits him will be imprisonment, or possibly even death."

Indeed, in times when the government was stable in power, there was another name for the so-called human saviours - political prisoners. Regardless of which form of government was in power, or which era it was, all rulers pay more attention to political prisoners than murderers. Correspondingly, the punishment dished out to the political prisoners is also particularly harsh. In Ancient China, there was the punishment of executing every relative of a political criminal, for instance. Even in the twentieth century, the punishments were shocking. One could refer to the 1973 edition of the book "Red Crag" for an example.

Mogensha was still smoking his cigar. He said, "I get it. The future can only be delayed and slightly altered, but the main events will still occur due to the momentum of time. Similarly, if we had failed our mission and the saviour, John Connor, was murdered, there will still be another saviour leading the Rebellion. A Jack Connor, perhaps."

Sheyan did not participate in the discussion. He just stood there frowning while appearing deep in thought. All signs pointed to the T-1000 being an absolute pain to deal with. Finding one would be hard, and preventing it from escaping would be even harder. It even had the ability to self-destruct instantaneously!

There were only 2 good news.

First, Sheyan had a whole week for this mission.

Second, he did not have to worry about that mastermind behind the scenes.

Naturally, Party Ace assumed the responsibility of protecting Mr. Dolittle. After proper arrangements were made for him, Sanzi secretly went to Sheyan and said, "Bro, there's actually another benefit we can get from Dolittle."

"What benefit?" asked Sheyan.

Sanzi was baffled. "Didn't you see the strange glow on the watch he's wearing?"

".....No." Sheyan asked with a hint of surprise, "You can see a glow on his watch?"

Sanzi nodded. "Yup, a dark gold glow. What does that remind you of?"

Sheyan was quick to react. "You mean it's a soul equipment? Are you kidding me? A Chosen has this kind of privilege?! The realm gives you such an obvious hint?!?!"

Sheyan and Sanzi's deduction was logical. Even though the local fission explosion was powerful, the possibility of destroying an equipment directly was still minute. Therefore, they could not rule out the possibility that Dolittle had picked up a piece of equipment which contained Gore's enormous grievance as a memento.

Despite that, Sheyan did not dare extend his claws towards this equipment. The key to serial missions was the accumulation done along the way in preparation for a huge climax in the end. If he took advantage of Dolittle now, it was equivalent to shooting himself in the foot at the very beginning.

Well, it might be inconvenient for Sheyan, but that did not mean the others could not try to trigger the mission related to the soul equipment. The party took turns trying and in the end, Reef won the lucky draw. He received a mission titled "Dolittle's Request". Dolittle said that he did not have any regrets, but he had an old friend who had asked Dolittle to take care of his daughter, and the daughter was apparently not doing so well right now. They were asked to take a look.

Sheyan went to Dolittle and enquired with him, "Have you collected any information about the T-1000?"

Dolittle nodded and replied, "I have. I've been following the movement of the T-1000 for quite some time, hoping to find a pattern in its movement, but during the last FBI operation, my residence was ransacked. Fortunately, I was out taking a break. I managed to escape, but most of my valuable information and research instruments were confiscated, including the information about the T-1000."

Sheyan heaved a heavy sigh when he heard that.

"Do we have to go to the FBI headquarters this time?"

Dolittle shook his head with a bit of pride.

"It's not that much trouble. From what I understand, Cyberdyne Systems is very interested in all my research documents because my research should be more than ten years ahead of theirs. The data is probably in Cyberdyne Systems' secure database."

Sheyan exchanged a look with Zi. They did not expect things to go back to that company again.

Cyberdyne Systems was presently receiving a strong backing from the military because their scientific and technological research had successfully helped the US to lead the world in the research on unmanned aerial vehicles. The cooperation between money and political power had formed a large monster. Cyberdyne Systems was close to gaining a status comparable to the Umbrella Corps in Resident Evil before the biohazard outbreak.

So even if Sheyan had become strong now, he still tried his best to avoid a confrontation with Cyberdyne Systems. As for the fact that Sarah and John Connor as well as the Terminator could fight their way in and out of the company as they pleased, Sheyan simply ignore. That's the privilege reserved for main characters!

He did not expect that he would have an inevitable confrontation with the company even after avoiding them all this time.

Dolittle continued, "If you decided to go to Cyberdyne Systems, please help me bring back some experimental devices."

He made a list for Sheyan. Although the items on the list were not a part of the mission, Sheyan did not dare take the task lightly since it would likely affect the final evaluation of the mission. He committed each item to his memory.

After some preparation, Sheyan left for the mission. He decided to infiltrate the company with just Zi. Too many people would increase the risk of exposure.

Considering that they might have to fight in narrow corridors in this operation, Zi was, without a doubt, a better candidate than Mogensha with her 'Titanium Mesh Magic Barrier' and versatile Force.

The maximum evaluation achieved by Sheyan for the prerequisite tasks had provided him with some extra help. Thanks to Dolittle's trust in him, he was given a USB flash drive which contained the latest virus programmed by Dolittle himself. If they stick the USB flash drive into a computer in Cyberdyne Systems, the virus would paralyse the company's network and buy them ample amount of time.

Another thing worth mentioning was that Gore's investment in Dolittle was really quite astonishing. Considering that Dolittle was more familiar with theoretical rather than practical work, he specifically exchanged a personal handheld computer from the realm for Dolittle. Dolittle can use this smart computer to complete a lot of practical work.

Sheyan had inquired with the nightmare imprint and found that a technologically-advanced computer which could be used by storyline characters such as this needed 150,000 utility points and 5 achievement points. That was a testament to Gore's determination.

　　************

It was true that Sheyan did not wish to clash with Cyberdyne, but that did not mean he had not investigated the company. Besides, they even had an ex-director of a department in Cyberdyne by their side. Of course they would have a deep understanding of the company.

At 8:10 the next morning, Sheyan stood neatly-dressed outside the huge building of Cyberdyne Systems. He had to lean back to catch a glimpse of the logo on top of the skyscraper.

The last time Sheyan went near this place, he could feel a strong sense of danger as if he was standing on the top of a skyscraper and looking down the edge without a guard rail. The closer he got to the company, the more dangerous he felt.

With his current strength, Sheyan of course no longer felt so intimidated, but there was still a sense of danger. The sense of danger was not just due to the taser guns installed inside, but also an unknown threat. If Sheyan was careless, he might very well meet his demise here.

Sheyan turned his head to the side. Zi was standing over ten meters away in a close-fitting professional attire, her hair tied in a bun above her head. She looked sharp and professional, and her outstanding appearance successfully attracted a lot of attention.

Sheyan adjusted his tie and walked towards the revolving door at the ground floor of the Cyberdyne Systems building with a calm and confident look on his face.

He was stopped by the guard at the door because he was not wearing a employee tag.

The bulky guard asked vigilantly, "What business do you have here, sir?"

"Mr. Detas called me yesterday to express his interest in my resume. He asked me to come here for an interview today."

Sheyan was lying, of course, but it was true that Manager Detas was looking to hire. More than 200 young people had come for an interview today, so the guards did not have the energy to verify each of their identities. The guard in front of Sheyan let him in after giving him a temporary visitor pass.

Cyberdyne Systems had grown to be a giant company with more than 10,000 employees in its headquarters alone. On the spacious ground floor, as many as 14 elevators were busily handling the traveling employees. Sheyan's temporary visitor pass only allowed him to move around in the dining area on the ground floor and the second floor where the interviews were conducted, but for those with ulterior motives, that was enough.
