Chapter 104: Surveillance of the Army
Outside the Federal Reserve Building, Shen Chao located a newly established communication base station nearby as soon as he came out. As soon as he confirmed the direction, he rushed over. The benefit of modern military command networks is that there are multiple nodes, and any one node can be used to obtain a large amount of digital information.
From the military's point of view, such a network command system can help them quickly command and coordinate combat units at the grassroots level, and command at any communication node at any time when needed. And the good news is that such a system is also extremely convenient for Shen Chao and their upcoming eavesdropping.
Because they only need to install a bypass detector on the communication base station set up by any army, and after some decoding, they can easily get the same timely and accurate battlefield information as in the US military command center. And now what Shen Chao has to do is to infiltrate one of the nodes under construction and install this equipment.
Due to the chaotic retreat of civilians during the day, many American troops had actually just entered the city at this time, and they had neither eaten dinner nor selected temporary camps, and even many of the scheduled military garrisons had not yet arrived at the corresponding garrisons. According to information from Alice, one of the closest communications base stations to the Federal Reserve Building is on a rooftop about a kilometer south.
Shen Chao braved the rain and rushed there cautiously against the wall, he did not turn on the concealment mode of the nanosuit, firstly because it was not necessary, it was night, but because the concealment effect of his nanosuit in this situation was very bad, and the optical camouflage could only change the image on the surface and cover of the nanosuit to achieve the purpose of optical invisibility. And under such a pouring rain, dense raindrops will greatly destroy its stealth effect.
Carefully dodging two convoys of Humvees carrying heavy weapons and personnel, it took him nearly 10 minutes to reach the communications station. Although this is an extremely important military communication node in the vicinity, just like any other place, it has not been long since the soldiers entered the city, and it is still late at night. Everyone is busy building this communication station with high spirits.
There are sappers and communications soldiers who are not subordinate to each other busy pulling over the antennas to prepare for erection, and there are also some big soldiers who are working hard to erect their portable tents. Dozens of soldiers who are not subordinate to each other are recorded on one of the rooftops here, busily building a communication tower according to the requirements of the command headquarters.
Shen Chao looked at the roof of the building next to him for a while, but did not find a unified on-site commander. The U.S. military here also seems to belong to several different sequences, each doing its own thing. It is estimated that he can easily blend in as long as he changes into a US military uniform.
The fact that the U.S. military here has only just begun to build this communication station, and this short-term chaos will not last long, and he must do his best. Thinking of this, he slowly retreated from the edge of the building.
A few minutes later, in the building where the communication antenna was being erected, an ordinary American soldier hurriedly rushed into an apartment with an open door, this is a residential building, the evacuation was too urgent during the day, many doors in the building were unlocked, the soldier did not notice that the door was closed when they came, he hurriedly rushed into the bathroom of the apartment, it seemed that he wanted to release water.
However, today must be his unlucky day, just after he rushed into the door, Shen Chao, who was wearing the hidden mode of the nano suit, quietly followed from behind, and before he could enter the bathroom, Shen Chao, who followed up, swung a punch and hit him in the back of the head. The hapless soldier fainted as soon as it was dark.
Shen Chao turned around and closed the door, then came back and dragged the fainted soldier into the house. He expertly took off the GI's clothes and put on himself as he had taken off his nanosuit, and he took off all the clothes on the hapless private's body except for socks and panties. And put them on one by one. …,
After changing his clothes, he looked in a mirror to check how he looked. Finding nothing wrong, he walked out of the room with the GI's weapon and carrying gear. He wasn't worried at all about the soldier who was knocked out by him waking up, because his power was very accurate, and it was impossible for this soldier to wake up without lying down for half an hour, and half an hour was enough for him to knock out all the American troops here.
Wearing the military uniform that had just been captured, Shen Chao returned to the roof like an ordinary American soldier, and he joined the intense camp construction work like other soldiers, but he did not go over to help the soldiers set up tents, on the contrary, he spent a few minutes helping a group of communication soldiers quickly set up a satellite communication antenna. And "enthusiastic" helped them to simply debug the signal output. In the process of erection, a bypass detector is attached to the number of wires. Then cover it with a mess of wiring.
After doing this, he left the roof with his head bowed, and in this chaotic camp, no one except for a few technical soldiers he had helped just now, no one noticed the actions he had just made. After returning to the room where he had stunned the private, he first checked the unconscious private, and after confirming that he was still unconscious, Shen Chao quickly took off his military uniform and threw it aside.
"Alice, I've installed detector number 1. How's your side, can you get a signal? As he spoke, he pulled up the nanosuit next to him and put it on for himself.
"No problem, but it will take some time to decode, are you sure this software will work?" Alice's channel was filled with the sound of her typing on the keyboard.
"No problem, we have used this series of software to hack I don't know how many military systems, if the military system in 2010 can't deal with this kind of invasion, then there is no hope for the military network in this era." Shen Chao replied lightly, helping the unconscious private put on his clothes, and then dragged him back to the place where he had been stunned, pretending to be himself fainting.
This is not an overactive move, Shen Chao understands the thinking of these soldiers, after he wakes up, as long as the fact that he is being monitored here is not leaked, this rookie private who knows that he is knocked unconscious will never tell his commander that he was knocked unconscious during the mission.
After all, it is very humiliating in the military system. Not to mention, when his chief asked him about the appearance of the person he knocked unconscious, he had nothing to say about the punishment that would bring. Therefore, as long as this private is in his right mind, he will never confess to the fact that he was knocked unconscious by a "ghost" who did not see it
After putting on the nano suit and getting back his equipment, Shen Chao felt that there was nothing wrong with him here. So he hurried back to the Federal Reserve Building as fast as he could, but despite the fact that he had hurried back as fast as he could, it was still surrounded by troops.
The fact that the army had invaded the vault, of course, was not discovered, however, the order they received was also clear, to stop the small number of thugs in the city who had not evacuated from robbing a large number of financial institutions on Wall Street and in its vicinity! So, these guys basically sit in the Humvee and do their jobs while sheltering from the rain. Shen Chao observed nearby, there was probably a platoon of strength here, which was basically the upper limit of what he could fight in this terrain, but, as usual, he didn't have any idea of fighting hard with these soldiers.
A look at their defenses revealed no obvious holes. After thinking for a while, Shen Chao decided to return to Wall Street, where there were more troops, but he didn't go to war in the past, he carefully hid his figure in the heavy rain, and thanks to the protection of the night, he entered the underground sewers of Wall Street without attracting any attention. …,
I took out a few remote-controlled bombs from my bag and found a few random places on the wall and pasted them. Here, he wanted to create the illusion that someone was trying to break into a nearby bank vault with explosives. In order to attract the attention of nearby US troops. After setting up the bomb, he checked the scene and found nothing wrong, so he quietly exited the sewer and returned to the Federal Reserve Building, which was not far away.
When he returned, he finally confirmed the location of everyone on one side and booked a stealth route to get in. Then, he detonated the remote-controlled bombs that had been set, and as an explosion came, the American troops here became confused, and a man who was obviously an officer shouted a few words over the radio in the car, and within a minute, he called a squad of soldiers to follow him in the direction of Wall Street.
And Shen Chao also took advantage of their short period of confusion and quietly slipped back to the hall through the front door. The journey was much easier than he had imagined, as the American troops outside seemed to be drawn to the explosion, sitting in a Humvee parked on the road, playing cards and expressing their opinions.
Shen Chao didn't bother to listen to their gossip, he carefully returned to the hall from the main entrance. There are also a few U.S. troops guarding here, but like their colleagues outside, they are basically playing cards or chatting. Shen Chao first walked cautiously against the wall, and then found a large table to hide. He needed to recharge the nanosuit and remove the water from his body.
It only took a few seconds for the nanosuit to recover all the power in the battery, and then Shen Chao took some time to check his body, and after making sure that there were no traces of water left, he turned on the stealth mode and carefully leaned towards the elevator. There were two technicians there checking the situation of the elevator, and as soon as he saw their movements, Shen Chao knew that they had never repaired the elevator. Eighty percent of them were signal soldiers, or simply mechanics who were usually responsible for repairing cars, who were temporarily called to check on the situation.
Looking at their near-zero alertness, Shen Chao had an urge to shoot them all in the head. But apparently that's not what he can do now, because it would take him and Custer to work together for hours to dismantle several security doors and security systems, and if these guys died, the army would definitely surround the place in a few dozen minutes.
