Chapter Twenty-Six: The Iron Wall

Many of the Vault's inhabitants came to see them off, including Arno and Carlyle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kira symbolically waved goodbye to the crowd, and to be honest, even though he hadn't been here for long, he was quite nostalgic. One of the reasons for this was Patrick, who was now driving the vehicle, and Kira didn't know exactly what happened when the "Grave Rangers" attacked, but judging by the tank that the Resistance fighters had brought back, he couldn't imagine how terrible the man was.

Moreover, the journey with Patrick is quite boring, he does not take the initiative to speak, and he does not utter even a syllable when talking about a topic without asking him. If you ask him, he can often end a topic with a syllable. In the end, they were silent on the road, except for the madness that occasionally talked about his incomprehensible thoughts and theories.

"I can't help but think about making a big fuss in the safe zone, will you help me, Patrick?"

"If necessary. ”

"I know what you want to go there," laughed maniacally, "and, what you want happens to be something I've been thinking about and reasoning for ten years, right?"

"So," said Patrick, expressionless, as if he wasn't at all interested in what madness had mentioned, "you tell me what you've deduced?"

"No, I can't say yet. Just like Sherlock Holmes - I don't know if you've seen it - all inferences must be made public when the evidence is conclusive. ”

"I haven't read Sherlock Holmes," said Patrick, "and if I had to say I've read a book, it's Angels and Demons." ”

"Well, that also explains why you're so desperate to know the secrets of the ruins," said the madman, "Veritas vos liberabit, truth points to freedom, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"But if I want to prove my guess right," continued the madness, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Secrets always come with benefits, and if you want to uncover them, you will hurt the people who benefit from them. ”

"I never thought it was easy. ”

"The Iron Boss instigated a lot of things from you, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Kira held her chin in her hand and sighed softly. It's this kind of topic again, not in the sky, probably this is the difference between ordinary people and legends. Every move, every thought, is on a different level.

Considering that Patrick is an important backing for him, for Kira, these "faults" of his have turned into advantages, and Kira is not happy to complain about anything.

His life and death are all in Patrick's hands.

"Here we are. ”

The car stopped, and all the lights went out. Patrick got out of the car and looked into the distance.

Kira didn't want to go down. It was pitch black outside, there wasn't even a star, nothing could be seen.

"That...... Can we wait until dawn before we get started?"

Patrick glanced back at him, and seemed to understand his condition.

"Well, we'll do it at dawn. You rest first, I'll take care of the reconnaissance. ”

"Is that really good?" asked Somi, looking like she wanted to help out in some way.

"No problem. You two should stay together, just in case. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

Kira didn't bother to think about it so much, he turned his head and began to sleep, and after a while he fell asleep.

An outpost to monitor the front-line command of the contaminated area's activities, while preventing threats from the contaminated area from hitting the safe zone, and also as a buffer zone before the last line of defense.

After that, there is a wall that surrounds the city, and there are tens of meters high as far as the eye can see.

"Crazy, can you get information about this outpost?"

"The layout of the outpost can still be clearly seen from the images obtained from the intrusion satellites, what are you going to do?"

"I want to dive in and see. ”

"It doesn't hurt to give it a try," said the madman, "and some of the computers in here should have information in them that can be used. ”

That's exactly what I think. Patrick took out the sand eagle and prepared to go.

"No, wait, you can't kill," Mad reminded him, "and they'll be alert if they find the body." ”

"Okay, I see. Patrick had no choice but to put the pistol away.

Approaching the outpost, the bright lights give peace of mind to those who have to live in the light, but this is undoubtedly very troublesome for Patrick. He pondered for a long time, and it was difficult to find a dark blind spot for him to dive into.

With night vision, there were many lines on the fence, and Patrick estimated that if he tried to cross it, an alarm or even some sort of mechanism would be triggered. Life or death, his plans to enter the safe zone were dashed.

"There's no way to sneak in," Patrick said, "and it looks like we're going to have to make a little surprise." ”

"Is this an accident? this can be had, I'll try......" Madness began to work on the communicator of the sentry at the entrance and exit of the vehicle, "How about a 'ah, the fuse is blowing, the power is out'?"

"It's rotten, who else uses fuses these days. Patrick said this, but he was actually the closest to the command center.

In an instant, the entire outpost was plunged into darkness. This is his stage, the monster in the dark.

Patrick's palm was attached to the fence, and in a few clicks he climbed over the barrier and entered the outpost.

"I can't lock up the backup power and relays so they'll be aware of it, and I'm still dealing with the hack marks left by the hack, so there's not much time left for us. ”

"I see. Patrick whispered.

He lowered his center of gravity and walked into the house. At this moment, an officer happened to come down the stairs and asked his men loudly what was happening.

A group of puppets. Patrick thought to himself, a little disappointed and a little glad. Disappointingly, these border guards clearly lack the same sense of vigilance as the stragglers of the former Revolutionary Alliance, but fortunately this is a good thing for him.

The officer had a flashlight in his hand, and it appeared that he was not wearing a night vision device. Patrick only needs to bypass the light source and avoid making too much noise to be undetected.

"Let's go see what's going on!" Madness hacked into their communication channel, and Patrick heard the officer scolding.

Bypassing the officer, Patrick didn't go upstairs until he reached the door. The second floor is probably the outpost's intelligence storehouse, with several servers and a laptop being the best evidence.

"Actually, you can connect to an officer's communicator and hack into their server, can't you?"

"You're thinking of me too much, aren't you?" said madly and dissatisfied.

"So what should I do?"

"I have to physically access something to mobilize their local servers, and network intrusion won't work, there are too many fortifications. ”

Maybe he really thinks madness is the master key, but in fact, in a sense, he is really omnipotent.

Since the frenzied AI-hosted communicator did not have a corresponding interface to connect to the laptop, Patrick had to take the risk of opening the drawer of the desk, finding a random access device, installing the AI core in it, and then connecting it to the laptop.

"Hmm...... It's funny," this time the madness was directly connected to the internal communication of the AED system, "There is more than just a shift schedule for the outpost......"

"Hurry up and get what you want and go. Patrick urged.

"Got it, got it. How about this? Biometric passes, which are protected by several layers of encryption. ”

"What's it for?"

"Soldiers in the security zone have to be scanned with the naked eye when they enter and leave the city, and all the information of soldiers who go out into the polluted area will be recorded," said madness, "This is indeed an unassailable inspection measure." ”

Is it...... I wonder if he can scan it, although Patrick's eyes are still human eyes, but the eyes connected to the AED system are very different.

"But...... It's still too troublesome to fake a biometric information, so it's better to decode the scanner directly when the time comes. "The method is already known, let's go." ”

Just waiting for your words. Patrick opened the window and jumped straight from the second floor.

"Team A1, take a look around the outside of the outpost. ”

Patrick, who overheard the enemy patrol, turned to the entrance and exit of the vehicle, and he slipped quietly past the checkpoint and passed silently behind one of the sentries.

The sound of electricity sounded, and the outpost was bright again in an instant.

"Alright, it looks like it's just a normal power outage, and the squads are back on patrol. ”

Sneaking one last glance at the outpost, Patrick blended in to the night.
