Chapter 4 Villas on the outskirts of the city

Rest your drive to your residence on Azalea North Road, a three-story European-style villa located at the foot of the Andean mountains, decorated with Mediterranean-style snow-white walls interspersed with blue vertical stripes; A wall staircase, from the right side of the villa exterior wall upward, from the ground to the roof of the building, dozens of pots of slender spider plants along the staircase fence to extend outward brackets, inclined down, fluttering with the wind, giving people a feeling of being in the sea of clouds.

In front of and on both sides of the villa is a lush lawn surrounded by a 3.5-metre-high wall, with a tall Norwegian maple tree towering over the lawn on the left side of the villa, with the tips of the trees rising almost level with the roof. Under the tree are two light brown rattan chairs and a small oval round table.

At the back of the villa is an English back garden, where dozens of flowers such as lily of the valley, hyacinths, white pearls, Neapolitan roses, and spruce balls and evergreens are repaired to the shape of animals.

But here, Hugh, who is not keen on flowers, has become a superfluous ornament, Hugh looked at this place, intending to make the best use of it, right next to the garden, and ploughed another field, planted all kinds of fruits and vegetables, harvested ingredients, can not only cook, but also squeeze juice, but also wine, why not, this move was strongly condemned and solemnly negotiated by the female agents, but when they opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, tasted bottles of brightly colored, delicious juice and fruit wine, He had to give a low-key compliment to the fruits of Hugh's labor, acquiescing to his small private farm.

What they didn't know was that Hugh preferred to sit under a Norwegian maple in the early morning, breathe in the smell of fresh morning grass, have a steaming cup of cappuccino, open his laptop, check the organization's internal mailbox, and see what challenging tasks he had assigned to him today.

On the left side of the villa is the kennel, paved with dry and comfortable straw and fresh dog food, and on the right side is the garage, which can be used for three vehicles at the same time, including a blue and white striped Dodge Viper sports car, with a maximum speed of 325 kilometers per hour, which is difficult to meet on the highway, and a black German Volkswagen Phaeton bulletproof sedan to escort the family's fleet; Another vacancy is waiting to be filled by Hugh's motorhome, and the garage is fully equipped with car repair and maintenance tools.

Hugh stopped in front of the hollow carved tungsten steel gate in front of the courtyard, and walked to a black electronic panel on the right side of the gate, which is the retina recognition system developed by the company, the indicator light on it is red, which means that the gate is closed, Hugh starts a circular button above, puts the eyes in a position that is flush with the scanning hole, and a cold blue arc light moves back and forth at Hugh's eyeballs, 2 seconds, accompanied by a "tick" sound, the indicator light turns from red to green, and the door opens in response.

Hugh parked the RV in the garage, sent a remote command on his watch, closed the courtyard gate, and gestured to the two Prott hounds standing in the passenger seat, and they leaped out of the open window to their combat station, the kennel next to the gate, to fulfill their duties as caretakers.

Of course, the security forces of the courtyard are not limited to this, the bodies of gunpowder and warheads are implanted with vital signature sensors, and once they die heroically in the fight against the uninvited guest, the heart stops beating. The sensor will trigger four rapid-fire machine guns with intelligent chips buried under the lawn at the four corners of the courtyard, sticking out of the ground, they are equipped with the company's displacement sensors, which will capture all moving objects in the courtyard in real time, covering 360 degrees in all directions, and firing at full power, turning the target into a hornet's nest in an instant, and will not let go of even a fly.

This mechanism can also be triggered by the watch on Hugh's wrist, which can be triggered with a single touch, and wait for the dust outside to settle down, and the organization will no longer have to worry about my crisis. Dealing with those who dare to trespass on the courtyard is no longer practical. What about the enemies that appear in the building? Forehead...... I have to go out in person.

Hugh was armed with a sniper rifle and walked towards the villa, where the first floor was the living room and kitchen, the second floor was the living room and intelligence room, and the third floor was the gym and equipment room, and a winding spiral staircase connected the three floors.

The rooftop is equipped with a third-generation solar panel array, which greatly improves the conversion rate of light energy to electricity, and the amount of sunshine in one day is enough to provide two weeks of residential electricity needs, even if the enemy destroys the city's power center, the night here is still as bright as day, giving the enemy no chance to take advantage of it.

This residence is an elaborate safe house designed by the organization, which is set up by the organization to track the CIA's spy network around the world, fight it, seize the opportunity in intelligence gathering and analysis, and protect the Knotta family's estate.

In addition to the household appliances and furniture that are always available in ordinary houses, the agents are also equipped with sufficient firepower: a variety of hot and cold weapons suitable for individual combat, from compound bows, crossbows, daggers, military bayonets, to pistols, shotguns, miniature submachine guns, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, all kinds of arrows, ammunition, to meet the needs of various missions.

The organization provided a variety of fitness equipment for agents to keep fit and energetic during their leisure time.

In terms of medical emergency supplies, disinfectant, hemostats, surgical scalpels, alcohol lamps, bandages, gauze, sutures, etc., are also comprehensive enough to cope with general surgical trauma.

Pinhole cameras are placed in all corners of the block where the safe house is located, and the holographic images of the block are highly restored from different angles.

By removing a brick from the ceiling of the safe house, you can climb to the vent on the floor where you are located, and the vent leads to the sewer pipe at the bottom of the floor, so that in case of danger and you can't get out, you can crawl to another block, uncover the manhole cover of the sewer pipe above your head and below the road, and swagger down the road to evacuate the place without realizing it.

In the middle of the load-bearing walls of each room, C4 explosives were placed and detonated by an app developed by the organization that ran on a smartwatch. If it's too late to destroy the data, tapping the button on the watch screen is the most worry-free option, of course, this is the next step.

In terms of cybersecurity, the safe house is equipped with computers that exchange information with the organization through a dedicated encrypted channel, and agents can use their own accounts to log in to the system and obtain the latest mission details issued by the organization.

There are 29 such safe houses in Kuleman and 96 overseas, all over the streets, high mountains and jungles, and every time a mission is issued, one of the mission locations will be randomly assigned to be used as a safe house for agents.

And, every few years, these safe houses change geographically, perhaps to another remote corner a dozen blocks away, or to another deserted wilderness.

In this way, it is undoubtedly a great headache for the CIA to determine where the organization agents may appear.
