Chapter 41: Infiltration
"You're in too much of a hurry. "In a huge complex of buildings in the inner city, a man and a woman are slowly moving along the empty road, the two are very close, and their voices are very low, but their eyes do not touch, and the man only squirms his lips rapidly, but his face is expressionless, as if he is not talking to each other at all.
"You said it, now is the best time. Shure's voice sounded from the man's side, but there was no one around him, and it was clear that Shul had hidden his tracks, not wanting to be seen by others.
Not long ago, in the afternoon, after Shul gave the contact order, he returned directly to Delia's residence. Although they had experienced a battle before, the humble house had been restored to its original state, and the surrounding residents were only frightened by the zombies running all over the ground, and did not suffer any substantial damage, but when they saw Delia and the Shadow Chasers return, everyone closed the door tightly, and in their hearts, these people were almost the same as the image of the demon, and no one wanted to have anything to do with them.
That's fine, Delia might have been worried about this, lest she wouldn't even be able to live here in the future, but after talking to Shuer, the girl had completely let go and no longer minded the attitude of the neighbors, and they hid, saving her time to explain.
As soon as she entered the door, Mia used the imprint left on the body of the four mid-level officials of the institute when they broke up before. Instead of directly transmitting the sound, but after confirming that several people were resting in the room through the eyes of the mages who were watching, and there was no one else around, they directly used special energy to form words in front of their eyes, so, under the control of remote commands, Surta, the highest-ranking of the four officials, went out for a spin and bought a lot of daily necessities from the store, but the city's surveillance cameras obviously could not shoot it, and a mountain elf who disappeared followed him back to the spacious new residence.
Arrange the dimensional gate, Mia, who had been prepared a long time ago, easily transferred all the people who were in Delia's house to the city center, and everyone talked secretly in the room for a while, and finally decided to infiltrate the research institute today.
Time is indeed in a hurry, but this is also something that cannot be helped, not only because Shul wants to know more about the world, including the development of science and technology here, before the negotiation, so as to take the initiative in the negotiation, but also because now is the best time.
Just experienced two battles, the city is in chaos, although the institute is the top priority of the city, it has not been affected much, but a large number of researchers have been temporarily transferred to work in the life archive, trying to wake up the victims as quickly as possible, so there are very few people in the institute now, in each research institute, only those researchers who have to stay because of various experiments, do not have to worry about being disturbed by the staff during the operation. Once this opportunity is missed, there will often be people coming and going in the research institute throughout the day, and it is simply delusional to try to copy information stably and comfortably.
As for infiltrating at night, Shul didn't even think about it, and for the shadowchasers from Pavatiga, infiltrating at night was actually a very layman's behavior. Because the more night it is, the more heavily guarded the important locations tend to be, and the difficulty of infiltrating is much greater than during the day, and the only two disadvantages during the day, the difficulty of hiding their tracks and the ease of encountering others, but stealth solves one, and the timing solves another, and there is nothing to prevent the shadowchasers from infiltrating the institute during the day.
The solid gate couldn't stop them, several gates in a row, Surta stood directly in front of the door, sticking his eyes to an instrument, and after a few seconds, the door opened automatically, before Surta entered the door, the shadowchasers had already rushed in one step at a time, and when the door closed, all the shadowchasers had already invaded the inside of the institute under the cover of Surta, and the monitoring equipment had no chance to find anything abnormal.
The strict security can't stop them, the road of the research institute, there are heavily armed guards stationed everywhere, and there are guards on duty in front of each building, the problem is that these people only rely on the naked eye, they can't see the invisible shadow chasers at all, everyone passes by them one by one, and they don't realize it, sometimes they wonder why there is a sudden wind blowing around them, no matter what, they can't think of it, it is actually a weak air flow brought by someone passing at high speed.
The scanning equipment in important places can't stop them, yes, there are some key borrowing points in the institute that rely on heat and special light to check to prevent someone from hiding some special items in and out, the problem is that there are two lovely internal responses, Surta and Mai Lin, who have already pointed out the location of these special inspection equipment for the intruders one by one, so the two internal responses passed in front of the scanning equipment normally, and there was no abnormality at all, and the shadow-chasers had already bypassed from the side, and they were not irradiated by the scanning equipment at all, and it was impossible to be discovered.
"Director Sourta, Deputy Director Mailin. As I went deeper into the institute, I gradually began to meet other researchers, and occasionally a staff member in a white coat would come up to me, but everyone could only see two familiar faces, of course, they would only greet with a smile, "I heard that you are in danger, and you are quite frightened, so there is no big problem." ”
"We were also just being questioned. "The two of them are worthy of being middle-level characters, even if they have ghosts in their hearts, they can still be silent on the surface, and disguise their emotions vividly," the above attaches great importance to this time, and interrogated us for a long time, but fortunately, just let us describe the experience of the past few days in detail, not too embarrassing us, not only gave us a few days of paid vacation, but even reimbursed us for an expense, haha, this is the first time I have a good impression of those high-flying guys. ”
He wasn't lying, and the fact that several of them were rescued by the Shadow Chasers was no secret to the higher-ups, but fortunately, the agreed-upon rhetoric between the two parties was perfect, and during the interrogation, Mia was monitored by the Mage's Eye throughout the whole process, confirming that nothing unusual had been discovered by the higher-ups, so it was logical to let them return to their jobs, and even the credits they paid to Delia were compensated. Of course, the higher-ups are not idiots, and even if there is nothing to suspect, close surveillance is inevitable, but fortunately, the shadowchasers were prepared to use magic beyond the understanding of the locals to avoid surveillance, so that the higher-ups' attempts at fishing were completely frustrated.
"Ah, what a blessing. The oncoming passers-by looked envious, paid holidays are the biggest temptation for these busy researchers, they can sleep comfortably at home all day, without headaches for all kinds of complex data, what could be happier than this, "Such a rare opportunity, why didn't you have a good rest, and came to the laboratory?"
"There's no way, there's no way to rest. Surta's wry smile was as real as it was, if it weren't for the shadowchasers who knew about it in advance, they might have been tricked, "I've been in close contact with the mechanical beasts, and now when I close my eyes, I feel that there are all mechanical beasts around me, and now I feel scared even in the blink of an eye, let alone sleep, so I just come over and see the progress of the experiment, so that I can be distracted, and I don't have time to waste it." ”
"Alas. The person on the other side patted Surta's shoulder sympathetically, he had also experienced a similar crisis, so he understood this fear, "It's really hard, don't underestimate your current mental state, I will introduce you to a good psychiatrist in a few days, and I suggest that you go and talk to him and adjust your state as soon as possible, otherwise, if it drags on for too long, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers." ”
"Thanks, we'll go tomorrow. Sincerely shook hands with each other, the two passed by, until they were far away, Surta and Mai Lin let out a sigh of relief, and finally got through, it was really not easy.
After dealing with several waves of colleagues who expressed their concern, whether true or false, the two finally entered the closed area of a relatively remote building, closed the door and locked it again, the two of them completely relaxed, and cold sweat broke out from their foreheads, obviously they did not have an easy journey this way.
"There is no monitoring equipment in the lab. Surta lowered her voice and said, "A lot of the research here is a highly classified project, and it is absolutely not allowed to install monitoring to avoid leakage. ”
"Are you sure?" Shuer's gnat-like voice rang in Surta's ears, "Maybe there was no surveillance before, but you are the focus of surveillance these days, and they may not temporarily install surveillance on your territory." ”
"Then we ......"
"Wait, Wei, can you help check it out?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, sound wave conduction is normal, no sound wave harvesting devices have been found. Wei's voice came from the ear clip, "The video acquisition equipment is unknown, there is no suitable scanning device, and it is impossible to judge for the time being." ”
"Thanks, Wei, go back and ask you to drink the highest grade lube. Speaking of the promise that he felt was curious, Shuer told the two of them, "This way, you two are normal as usual, just when we don't exist, but don't leave the room we are in, once we have any needs, when we ask you for help, you come to help, if we don't ask for help, don't ignore us, lest in case there is a monitoring device, someone will find something abnormal." ”
"Okay, okay. Surta was finally relieved, quickly agreed, walked quickly to a laboratory table, picked up a few paper reports and read them, and communicated with Mai Lin beside him while reading, although the content of the exchange was completely incorrect, but at least from the point of view of action, it was still decent.
"Guys, it's our turn, don't run around. Originally, Xiuer wanted to infiltrate alone, but in order to prevent timely response in case of detection, in the end, everyone acted together, "Wei, what should I do now?"
"Please connect my cable to the device under the table, and I will explain the connection step by step. ”
"Macajelen, get to work. "Halflings are short in stature and nimble on their hands and feet, which is best suited for this job," and "remember to hide it with a tabletop so that no abnormality can be observed from the outside." ”
"Understood, sir, look at me. ”
