Outside.

The next day, Zach and Johnny got a mess of equipment and piled it up on the living room couch.

Some of it was Zach's computer equipment, and the rest was Johnny's.

After the equipment was in hand, Johnny began to bury his head in it, and began various tests and experiments on the energy cube.

Zach didn't know what this guy was up to, so he didn't bother to get involved.

Luo's whereabouts are unknown now, and he thinks it is more reliable to look up the news of the sudden attack first. However, there was no official report on the house they lived in that had been destroyed to slag.

Zach wanted to pull up footage from some surveillance cameras inside the neighborhood.

But he soon discovered that the entire residential surveillance video inventory had been emptied.

"Tut-tut......" He habitually bit his fingernails, and after thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze to the local police station.

"There should be online data storage."

Zach's ten fingers tapped quickly across the keyboard.

He hacked directly into the local police system and tried to find the surveillance footage surrounding the incident from there.

Unfortunately, he didn't find what he was looking for in the police department's system database.

After looking through the report of this case, Zach realized that the police were also trying to find the surveillance footage or witnesses at the time, because all the surveillance cameras that could capture the location of the incident at that time were paralyzed for unknown reasons during that time period.

Most of the residents only heard loud noises.

The only person who witnessed the house being crushed was Little Red Riding Hood, who was racing his bicycle at the time.

But what this young kid said was hard to believe.

"There was a black uncle who lifted the whole house up and smashed it down......"

Under normal circumstances, when hearing such a description, few people should believe it.

……

"It's stiff......"

Zach held his chin and looked at the files on the computer screen.

He remembered very well that the man who was standing on the street outside the house was the doctor.

But what happened after the debris of the house collapsed, and where Luo was taken by them, is completely unknown.

Zach checked all the surveillance systems in the entire residential area, including the perimeter of the residential area, in one place.

This time, he discovered that the paralyzed surveillance footage was not limited to certain paths, but that all surveillance systems within a circular area within a radius of a certain distance were paralyzed at the same time.

The circular area envelops the entire residential area as well as a part of the outer block.

“emm……”

Zach licked his lips.

He opened another laptop, pulled out a map of the city, and zoomed in.

The area where the monitoring system is paralyzed is located, and the center of this circular area is located geometrically.

Zach identified a point in the residential area.

The location of this point fell at the end of the street in the destroyed house.

His speculation is that if the doctor had used some kind of special equipment to interfere with all the monitoring systems in this range, then it is very likely that the initiation point of the interference is the center of the range, that is, the position of the center of the circle.

Zach roughly determined where the doctor would go.

And if you want to transport Luo away from the residential area, you must have a means of transportation - a car.

It was impossible for him to leave on foot with Luo swaggering, unless he was transported by plane as he had in Shilo City, but that was less likely.

……

Zach extracted all the traffic routes from the entire area paralyzed by the surveillance footage from the map to construct a very sketchy traffic map.

Then, he quickly used the program to calculate all the available paths from the center of the circle to leave the area, and then simplified, eliminated, sorted out the path with the highest probability of use, and determined the position of the path at the edge of the circle.

He didn't think that the doctors would move in the direction of the center of the city after they robbed Luo, so he first investigated from the side of the circular area away from the city.

In this way, all traffic routes that intersect the edge of the circular area can be prioritized.

According to Zack's thinking, although the other party interfered with all the surveillance footage of such a large area, they would eventually leave the area, and they would still be exposed to the surveillance cameras outside the area, and Zack was trying to find a way to capture them when they left the area.

And because of the large size of this circular area, Zach can only make a sequence of all the paths by calculation.

The next step is to calculate the time it takes for the car to leave the area from each of these routes, tentatively set a short time frame, and then check for all suspicious vehicles that leave the area through this route within this time frame.

There are different time frames on each path.

Zach sorted out all the vehicles and hacked into the city's surveillance system, making every camera in every corner of the city his eyes.

All the routes of these vehicles that have been identified in the city are sorted out.

……

“emm……”

Zach snapped his nose and stuck under the couch.

He had now basically identified all the vehicles that could be the doctor's means of transportation.

The rest is left to the intelligent system.

A progress bar appeared on his computer screen that was steadily turning.

Zach entered the doctor's facial recognition data, so that the system could first exclude those who could see people entering and exiting the vehicle through the surveillance footage, of course, it would be best if the doctor could be captured in a certain car, but unfortunately it was not.

The next step is to rule out staying in the city and making sure there are no other people in the car......

Through urban monitoring and calculation rules, the intelligent system gradually eliminated and reduced the thousands of vehicles that were originally sorted out.

The rest of the list includes some cars that have gone into the surveillance blind spot where the specific situation cannot be determined, and some cars that have left the city area.

……

Zach slumped on the couch and waited for the system to come to an end.

He followed his clear train of thought, looking for a needle in a haystack for Luo's possible whereabouts, although he didn't know what he would do even if he found the whereabouts of the other party.

……

And during the hours that Zach was busy here, Johnny wasn't idle.

Using the strange instruments he got out of nowhere, he made a chest for the energy cube that resembled a reinforcement device, covering it like armor.

Seeing Zach looking at him with interest, Johnny picked up a connector for a data line from his desk and threw it to Zack.

"Find a computer and connect this thing."
