Chapter 3: The Third Man
Both Dewey and Sun Zhong were wrong, and a third enemy was rapidly approaching them.
In the narrow ventilation duct, Anton was crawling forward in a strange posture in the dark ventilation duct.
The height and width of this ventilation duct were only forty centimeters, and an adult could not even drill into it, and Anton, although he was thin, could only move in such a position.
His movements were steady, his half-bent elbows and knees rising and falling slightly, but without making a sound, and his body rarely made contact with the walls of the pipe, moving quietly and quickly like a hunting praying mantis.
“171 …… 170 …… 169……”
When he silently counted to 168, Anton, who had been bowing his head and moving forward, suddenly paused, and his body naturally stretched out, clinging to the wall of the pipe and holding his breath, and at the same time, several faint white mist erupted from under him, instantly completely enveloping his body.
A flash of red light flashed from the darkness ahead, swept over his body in the blink of an eye, and disappeared at the other end of the passage.
As long as you master its scanning frequency and setting location, a little liquid nitrogen can instantly reduce the temperature of the person's body surface to below the warning temperature.
Anton has been lurking here for nearly two years, and he has long felt this building clearly, and as for the silent time, it is a simple skill that he has learned since he was a child, and it is just a small test in front of him.
“160…… 159…… 158……”
After the red light flickered, Anton didn't care about the cold and stinging pain in his chest and abdomen, and bent his body and crawled forward again.
He is a wind chime at the base.
Wind chimes sound poetic, but to put it bluntly, they are spies.
Their mission is to collect intelligence, and to prepare for operations at the base, to support intelligence and organize the evacuation, so as to ensure that the wolf fangs responsible for the execution can successfully complete the mission.
Wolf Tooth is another name for the members of the base operation team, and it is definitely the elite of the elite, and Anton is extremely sure of this, because his physical arts instructor back then was a wolf tooth who was eliminated due to injury.
Don't look at it as elimination, every time the actual combat training instructor can easily and happily put him down in three moves, Anton even doubts that he can withstand the instructor's full punch!
If you want to become a qualified wolf fang, you have to go through at least three genetic enhancements, and the fiercest existence in the legend has been successfully strengthened five times, so powerful that you can even solve a mecha with your bare hands!
A total of two wolf fangs were sent to the operation base this time, and Anton thought that the box should be captured, so until now he still can't figure it out, why did something happen?
"What's really going on in the building? Why can't two wolf fangs even deal with seventeen security guards? ”
It's not hard to tell if something unexpected happened.
The most noteworthy thing about Deyou Building is the A-grade vault, which was determined by Anton on the first day of his arrival.
After experiencing the brutal training, Anton developed the habit of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and after getting acquainted with the entire building, he immediately began to develop an attack plan with the vault as the target.
In the past two years, Anton did not know how many plans he had made and how many plans he had discarded, until he was sure that all the offensive lines were in his mind.
Either course of action takes time, as does the ventilation pipe, as does the frontal assault used by the Wolf Fangs.
Anton calculated very accurately, and if he wanted to complete the task, it would take at least four minutes even with the super strength of two wolf fangs, and the battle fluctuations in the building only lasted one minute and fifty-three seconds, which was really abnormal.
Even if the two wolf fangs played extraordinarily and solved all the security in less than two minutes, the floodgates of the vault would have to be broken, not to mention that there were still people guarding the vault, and it would be impossible for them not to move at all.
In this case, Anton's only conclusion is that the wolf tooth missed, and for the wolf tooth, defeat is death!
Anton knew very well what would happen to him if the mission failed, so he did not hesitate to activate the backup plan and drill into the ventilation duct as soon as possible.
“142.…… 141 ……”
Anton's body twisted slightly, and he turned a ninety degree bend as softly as a bone, and crawled towards the left front.
Avoiding a warm scan again, he didn't move on, but reached his chest with a backhand.
A faint green glow appeared in the field of vision of the night vision goggles, something that looked like a spider's web, this is a Locke metal security web, known for its toughness, even the hydraulic shears can't help it.
But it couldn't stop Anton, who was holding his breath as he pressed a black plastic bottle to the Locke metal mesh.
"Snort...... Sneer......"
The light blue vapor sprayed from the mouth of the bottle, which looked particularly gorgeous under the night vision goggles, and Anton's body subconsciously shrank back.
VLF spray was so corrosive that he didn't want to come into contact with it in any way.
"Backup power will be restored in 108 seconds, so it should be too late to ......"
Looking at the tiny bubbles that emerged from the Locke metal mesh, Anton comforted himself in his heart.
According to the building's energy supply system, when the main energy source is cut off, the backup energy is activated within five minutes, which means that he must rush to the vault before then.
Otherwise, once the backup power is restored, all the alert settings in the tunnel will be reactivated, and even a fly will not want to sneak in silently.
The headache for Anton doesn't stop there, the destruction of the energy switch will definitely not escape the monitoring of the Rog Star Skynet, this information will be transmitted to the security department as soon as possible, and the police patrol mecha will arrive here to confirm the situation within fifteen minutes after being notified.
If Anton wants to complete the task, he must get something and run away in ten minutes, otherwise he will only have a dead end!
"Do your best! I wish those two fierce men had already killed them all......"
Listening to the slight corrosive sound of "snorting" in his ears, Anton sighed in his heart, stoic as he also felt a trace of powerlessness.
The building was still silent, which had verified his judgment, and the two wolf fangs must have hung up, which meant that there was enough power in the building to kill two wolf fangs.
Anton is just a wind chime, an ordinary person who hasn't even passed a genetic enhancement, what can he do even if he goes in?
But he didn't have a choice, the base only looked at the result, never accepted any reason, if this mission failed, Anton didn't even have a chance to explain, and he would be executed by those ruthless guys with the most cruel means at the first time.
"There may be a glimmer of life if you go in, but if you just leave......"
Anton shuddered at the thought of the bloody images in his memory.
A series of soft sounds in his ears interrupted his thoughts, VLF was extremely corrosive, and in just a few seconds, the slender Lockmetal Mesh had turned into countless shards and fell.
Anton exhaled softly, retracted the spray in his hand to his chest, and then cleaned up the scattered fragments of the metal mesh before moving on.
The strange smell in the air made Anton frown slightly, and the movements of his hands and feet were a little faster, and the VLF would emit a strange smell after decomposing, although it was non-toxic, but few people wanted to smell it.
Counting down to 70 seconds, Anton arrived at a meeting point of ventilation pipes, which was relatively large enough for him to move his somewhat numb hands and feet.
However, he didn't stay long, and after checking the pipeline diagram in his memory, Anton quickly drilled towards the passage in front of the right.
After turning two corners in a row, and breaking a Locke metal mesh, the passage fell sharply, Anton raised his eyebrows, and showed a hint of joy on his face, without a trace of hesitation, he slowly slid down the two walls of the smooth passage, and quietly fell into a horizontal metal passage.
"With 17 seconds left, it's finally there!"
A smile appeared on Anton's face, but a sudden dull shout made his whole body stiffen, and he lay there motionless, as if he had been pointed.
"The lights will be turned on soon, and those who are not dead will cheer up Lao Tzu!"
