"Ugh! Hiss... Huff..."
The alchemist carrying Pascal noticed the extremely unnatural breathing of the person on his back.
"what happened?"
Although it's unpleasant to be crouching in the grass while carrying someone on your back, she is quite mature and will stand up for her teammates and knows how to take care of others.
Cruelty and bloodlust are innate, but a delicate heart can also be learned.
She turned her head and saw a large patch of snow on Pascal's black hood.
"Tch, damn it..."
The slightest commotion drew the attention of the entire team.
"what happens?"
AA12 and the Dreamer leaned their heads closer.
"Oh dear, this is a difficult situation..."
RPK squatted on the ground, looking troubled. The hand she was holding to her forehead suggested that her current state of mind was not feigned.
But when Dreamer discovered that the other party had stopped for such a trivial reason, he really wanted to say something sarcastic, but considering the current situation and Luo Fan's thoughts, he decided to refrain.
The alchemist quickly brushed the snow off her head and tore off a piece of his own clothing, placing it inside Pascal's hood.
"It's thick enough and waterproof, let's hold on a little longer."
Her reliable voice rang out again.
But that was all she could do; to keep the other person in place and prevent the ice water from seeping in, her clothes could do that.
"Tsk, thank goodness I changed my clothes after coming to this world, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tear that outfit apart..."
The alchemist muttered something in a barely perceptible voice.
"Let's keep going, but be careful to avoid the thick grass where the snow is thick."
After confirming that no further accidents would occur, Luo Fan continued moving forward.
They maintained a certain distance from the infiltration team; at least, neither side could get too close, otherwise it would easily backfire.
The searchlights were turned around to let the sentries sneak around – this was a perfect opportunity! The infiltration team wasn't held back by any problems at this moment, and took advantage of the opportunity to move forward at an extremely fast speed, running nearly 200 meters in one go.
If you observe this patch of grass from above with enough light, you might notice an area where the grass trembled unnaturally, sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a curve, at an extremely fast speed, like a giant snake chasing its prey in the grass.
But we can also use a different image, like seeing a shark's dorsal fin on the surface of the sea. In any case, it's definitely eerie and terrifying.
They were also constantly watching for any possible gazes, and only dared to move forward at such a fast pace when they were sure that they were not the focus of attention.
Avoiding the lickers and roadblocks, they were ready to reach the area of the wall.
To be precise, it was in front of the checkpoint living area under the high isolation wall, which was also surrounded by barbed wire, but that couldn't stop them.
"Commander, we are about to reach the target location."
AK12's tone carried a slight hint of joy, but it was suppressed by his extremely low voice.
"Received. Once in position, begin the hacking process immediately. After successful execution, await my instructions. Do not execute the program without my instructions."
"Received, preparing to begin the target search."
After a brief smile, AK12 returned to the mission.
"Once we are in position, we can start hacking in immediately. After that, we will wait for the commander's instructions to execute the program."
45 nodded: "Understood."
With success drawing ever closer, the infiltration team sped up again, reaching the target area within a minute.
Fortunately, the grass here is still growing quite lushly, stretching all the way to the barbed wire fence, so the girls can directly lean against the checkpoint to start their infiltration work without having to keep too far away.
Perhaps the White Eagle Army never imagined that several hackers were hacking into their checkpoints right in front of them, without their surveillance system even noticing.
45. By capturing a portion of the normal footage from the surveillance camera and seamlessly connecting it, the monitoring room can continuously loop the footage from that time period. Therefore, the girls can do their own thing without any worries, even when they are already below the wall or right in front of the monitor, as long as they don't do anything reckless by turning the brightness to the maximum.
Most of the people here are electronic warfare androids, while the others are responsible for guarding. Electronic warfare androids like 45 and AK12 lay on the slope of the barbed wire fence at the edge of the checkpoint to carry out the hacking.
Countless streams of data flowed past their eyes and onto their laptop screens, but their objective was clear. Even though hacking into military networks was relatively difficult, it was not without its traces, especially for electronic warfare androids.
Thanks to most countries changing their management systems, city management has indeed become more convenient, but it has also made it easier for powerful hackers to unleash their full potential. (PS: Similar, but not CtoS)
Sadly, even the military didn't realize that several people were right on his face...
199 checkpoint layout
"Commander, target located. You may take your positions."
"receive."
By reverse-engineering the data stream, the infiltration team located the main transformer box and began hacking it. Once the backdoor was installed, a burst of sparks would erupt somewhere in the checkpoint at the commander's command, bringing a little "warmth" to the soldiers standing guard in the cold night.
As long as no one is standing near the main transformer box during this time, it will be fine. Otherwise, not only technicians but also medical staff will be busy, and the consequences are predictable...
Even if someone far away sees it, they'll just mistake it for a malfunction. As long as they don't do anything reckless by touching it, it won't have any effect. In any case, the situation is in their favor.
"45, RO, have you started over there?"
AK12 lay on the small hillside. She could start working without a tablet, and taking a break was a good idea.
45 gave an OK sign to the two people beside him: "Ready? Let's begin. I'll try to hack into their firewall first, and you guys find the vulnerabilities."
"Wait, let me check the surveillance footage again..."
RO switched her laptop screen to a different display than everyone else's to double-check that there were no unexpected issues or repair problems with the surveillance footage.
The core force, led by Lofan, stopped in the tall grass 100 meters from the checkpoint. The grass here was covered with thick snow, making it the best hiding place for them after traveling several hundred meters. It also allowed Pascal to catch his breath and drink some hot water.
The spaces between the grass were small, but there was enough room to move around. The alchemist placed Pascal on the ground and, like the others, chose to sit down and rest for a while.
Upon discovering a chance to rest, AA12 naturally wouldn't miss it, tearing open the lollipop wrapper and popping it into her mouth, but for the others, being able to drink some hot water was already a blessing.
"Master, please keep warm."
The agent handed Luo Fan a cup of hot water and tightened the zipper of his coat, treating him with the same warmth as a child about to leave home to make their own way in the world.
Luo Fan is even sitting on a moisture-proof mat now, which, upon closer inspection, must have been prepared by the agent...
However, she also prepared one for Pascal, since he was the person with the worst constitution here, and the agent naturally wouldn't forget his feelings.
It's winter now, and the sandy ground among the grass isn't messy. You could sit directly on it without getting your pants dirty, just feeling cold. It feels more like outdoor camping than a mission, but travelers probably wouldn't choose to camp here; there might be some small insects or something...
After the other person adjusted their clothes, Luo Fan turned around and looked in the direction of the checkpoint, beginning to observe its external layout. 100 meters was enough.
There was a small row of rather low obstacles on the outside, which looked like stone roadblocks. A row of barbed wire was wrapped around them, and thus a "wall" was built. Although it looked very simple and flimsy, it was more than enough to keep out the stupid zombies.
Many people may underestimate the threat posed by razor blades and barbed wire, thinking they only have a slowing or minor damage effect, like in a game. However, if you were to place your hand on those razor blades that look so unsettling, you would be cut and bleed.
This is especially true in the cold season, when wounds heal slowly, affecting all subsequent actions. Although wounds are less likely to become infected and inflamed in winter, do you really think those barbed wire fences are clean all the time?
Regardless of humans, zombies would likely ignore this barbed wire and lie on it, making it difficult for them to regain their mobility and causing them to bleed profusely. The noise they would make during this time would be loud enough for a normal human soldier to hear clearly.
"So later, the rest of the AR team will continue with me, working with the infiltration team, bringing pliers, to destroy the barbed wire, and also check the hacking situation to see if we can be of any help."
Luo Fan turned around and gave the girls new instructions; he was to personally participate in the infiltration operation.
The girls naturally nodded in response. Others might not know, but they didn't doubt the AR team's capabilities, nor were they too worried that they wouldn't be able to protect their commander.
With the necessary tools, the new five-man team began to approach the edge of the checkpoint.
Although they were a team that arrived later, they weren't very fast either. After all, they were a newly independent group, and they needed to minimize the attention they would draw.
Another reason is that the searchlights are already sweeping in this direction. If they start running, even if the sentries are slacking off, they will still notice them.
Because of the slower speed, Lovan had more opportunities to observe the situation at the checkpoints during the journey.
The road leading to the checkpoint is simply laid out, a straight line leading directly there, with tall grass on both sides. There is a small slope in the area before reaching the checkpoint, and the slope is not small. Staying on the slope can also provide good concealment, which is a natural terrain advantage.
Then there's what they can see inside the checkpoint from their vantage point: a large number of tents, a fence made of barbed wire, some portable toilets, two watchtowers, and two searchlights sweeping back and forth. That's all the information they can observe so far.
There were indeed quite a few tents, indicating that in addition to a few soldiers, there were also some local wounded people at each checkpoint for observation.
At least Lovan didn't think all of these tents were for soldiers to live in; that would be far too many for a checkpoint, and it was really making a mountain out of a molehill.
The interior was brightly lit, with large white lights visible from a distance. Relying so heavily on light sources, it's easy to imagine the chaos that would ensue after a major power outage. By utilizing the stones they had collected, they could leave relatively easily without leaving any trace.
It would be great to use drones for reconnaissance, but drones flying into this area would definitely raise alarms, after all, this is a military zone. Not shooting them down on the spot would be considered a favor, and besides, they don't have drones that can fly that high, high enough to be invisible to the naked eye...
As he pondered, the distance to his destination grew ever closer...
P.S.: I got the Scarlet Eye from the Otherworld Agency (Taiwan server) by mistake! I'm so happy! I finally got it, so I'm fulfilling my wish. (Overjoyed)
200 Investigation Results
As the distance to the destination increases, so does the beam of the searchlight.
"Stop..."
As soon as AR15 finished speaking, everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time, took cover under the snow, and watched as the searchlight approached them.
Strangely, Luo Fan was not part of the AR team, and he had long lacked experience in cooperating with others. However, when working with the girls, they showed a high degree of teamwork, as was the case in the previous missions, with almost no flaws.
Perhaps it's not just a matter between the game and reality; maybe "telepathy" is the perfect description of this moment...
and many more......
"Girls, did any of you bring Molotov cocktails?"
He had some other ideas, ways to attract the soldiers' attention and offer them comforting gestures...
"Hmm? Commander, I have incendiary grenades, do you need them?"
The dog casually took out a brass-colored grenade from his bag and swung it around in the air a couple of times, as if it was about to hit the ground any second later. Although hitting it directly on the ground wouldn't cause it to explode, the natural fear was still there.
"Uh, no need, the sound is too loud and the power is too great..."
That's not something to consider. He's there to make a scene, not to cause destruction, although the difference in essence seems minimal...
"There's still plenty of wine in the bag; I can make it right away."
The 16-pigeon squatting to the side pointed to the backpack behind him and shook it in cooperation, making a slight bubbling sound.
It's usually hard to notice, but you can still hear it if you listen very carefully.
Luo Fan smiled and closed his eyes: "Then let's make one right away. We'll need it later. Let's wait until this lamp is gone first."
Within seconds, the five people hidden in the darkness were enveloped in white light.
Damn, it's so bright and glaring...
......
The infiltration team located in front of the earthen slope was still carrying out its mission in an orderly manner. RO checked the screen again and found no errors, so he began to join the hacking of 45 and AK12.
Since both of them were using laptops, except for the AK12, they could only cover the screens with their clothes to block the light, even though the thick grass and snow provided a good barrier.
Bored, Xiao 9 and 416, who were in charge of guard duty, started having other plans...
"You guys continue, we'll scout the surroundings and confirm the situation."
"Okay, be careful and don't expose yourself."
Staying here is just a waste of time; we might as well go and see what the situation is like at the checkpoint.
The 40-year-old, who had been in a daze, raised his hand after hearing that the two were planning to go and investigate.
"I'll go too, I should be able to help out or something."
"Whatever, as long as you don't expose yourself."
Although 40 didn't have as much experience as them, 416 didn't mind bringing an extra person. In any case, she didn't think 40 was the type to deliberately cause trouble, as could be seen from the previous missions.
Adeline, holding her rifle, remained seated on the edge of the earthen slope, choosing to continue her guard duty.
After all, if everyone runs away, who will watch the house?
After confirming the team's situation, everyone began to move up the slope.
Although it was a slope, the soldiers on the road could not see the slope on the girls' side. The grass near the road grew very well, directly blocking the soldiers' view. So for safety, they also surrounded the edges of both sides of the road with roadblocks and barbed wire, which provided more cover for the girls' slope reconnaissance.
"Let's check the situation inside the checkpoint first..."
The three leaned against the edge of the stone roadblock, preparing to begin their reconnaissance.
416 took out the phone that Luo Fan had bought for her, turned on the camera function, and turned off the flash. She planned to secretly film the situation inside the checkpoint.
The three of them took out their phones and started to disperse around 416, each taking pictures from different angles.
