Chapter 41: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
In the command room, there were only a few people with dark circles under their eyes, resisting the urge to yawn, and gathered there to deal with piles of paper reports, and they had not rested for a whole day and a night.
The latest field reports were on Liu Ai's desk, and she was pressed for time, so she once again streamlined them and sifted out only the key information. After a cursory flip, she couldn't help but rub her temples, and the assistant on the side sent a cup of coffee at just the right temperature in time.
"Thank you."
Liu Ai only took a sip, and the assistant reminded on the side: "Commander, the support team has reached the lowest level, and is starting the preliminary preparations, and the relevant mission materials have been submitted to them, and now we are just waiting for you to give the final order." ”
"Okay, I got it."
But Liu Ai didn't stop what she was doing, since Ying was already trapped at the bottom, her affairs could not be so anxious, and even shut her up for a while longer to frustrate her spirit, the effect might be better.
Now there are still two days to prepare for her, and if she acts rashly when the overall function of the base has not been repaired and the possible internal ghosts have not been discovered, the risk is even greater.
The condensed information was compiled into a new report in her mind through the neuroassist system, and she soon confirmed one conclusion:
"It is likely that this military base, which was temporarily decided to be used as a trap site, was invaded at key points before they arrived, and a series of extremely covert sabotage devices were arranged in advance."
But...... How is this possible?
Liu Ai was incredulous, because the whole process from making a decision to issuing a notice to arranging personnel did not take more than two hours. Even if you add in the time it takes for them to assemble their men to achieve a full takeover, it will be less than six hours in total.
Unless the information was leaked in the first place, and the original insiders of this military base cooperated, it would never have been possible to do such a thing.
And this military base...... Belongs to the military......
Liu Ai didn't dare to think about it anymore, this kind of conclusion can't be said nonsense.
She even deleted the report she had just compiled in her mind, and only sent a message to Li Si through the secure neural channel she had just built:
"The preliminary on-site report has been sorted out, everyone's psychological testing is still ongoing, and after the data backup is uploaded, please ask the director to check it in person, and I will complete the next task arrangement."
After receiving Li Si's reply, Liu Ai opened his eyes and shouted: "Seal all the data and back it up, everyone has worked hard, let's get here today first, you can change shifts and rest." ”
"Yes!"
Several people in the room couldn't help but feel refreshed when they heard this, and the finishing work was done more neatly.
Liu Ai personally supervised and supervised them to make multiple backups of all the information, which made people block the room and walked to the bottom under the leadership of the assistant.
Wang Ming and the three of them have been waiting at the bottom for a while, two huge generators are rumbling on one side, the overall circuit of the base has not been completely repaired, and the engineers first use the generators to restore the power supply at the bottom under the supervision of Wang Ming and the three of them.
A small heavy armored car was also specially brought down by them, jamming almost the entire passage and could be used as a mobile trench. The roof had been removed in advance, and the exposed square compartment contained several heavy weapons, and Xu Da was making the final adjustments inside.
Li Tianming waited a little impatiently on the side, and a weight box of two hundred catties was thrown from his left hand to his right hand, and from his right hand to his left hand, as a warm-up.
Wang Ming put his palm in front of the nearest alloy gate, a pulse was transmitted from his hand armor to the gate, and after the multiple reflections of the space behind him, the subtle vibration was transmitted back to his armor from the gate again, and finally the general scene behind the gate was reproduced through the intelligent system.
Since this is a miniaturized detection instrument designed for the warframe, the reconstructed scene restoration accuracy is low, and it can only serve as a reference. However, those tiny vibrations were also converted into special nerve signals that were transmitted into Wang Ming's sensory center.
The blurred scene in his mind has been consciously repaired by him, and he has restored a relatively accurate approximate original appearance, as long as the time and number of pulses are increased, he is sure that the scene behind it will be perfectly restored.
"Big brother, the commander is here."
Li Tianming's words made Wang Ming stop the work of reconstructing the image behind the gate, turned around, straightened up, and saluted Liu Ai with the other two with a perfect military salute.
Liu Ai nodded, opened a confidential communication band, and began to communicate with the three of them.
"Is there anything else you need to ask about the details of the mission?"
"Nope."
"Very well, from now on, your code names are ...... The eldest, the second, and the third. ”
Liu Ai paused for a while, and suddenly didn't think of any nice code names, so he simply casually recited a few easy-to-remember titles in order to save trouble, and Wang Ming and the three of them did not have any objections, so they decisively accepted it.
"There is one more thing I need to emphasize again, this time the highest priority of the mission is to ensure your own safety, and if the situation is not right, you can retreat immediately, do not hesitate; The second is to try to kill her on the spot; In the end, it was her turn to capture her alive, don't confuse the order, after all, it is the second-ranked killer. ”
Liu Ai stared at the three of them tightly, and the communication in his consciousness also accentuated his tone.
"Yes!"
"Command will share your vision and will help you conduct a full range of real-time analysis. I know that your combat experience and judgment are excellent, and I will respect your judgment on the spot. However, it is important to remember that the Shadow is far from the enemy you have encountered before, and if the command orders to retreat or other requirements, please follow them. ”
"Yes!"
It was still a short and powerful answer, and all three of them were soldiers who had been assigned to transfer to another job, and they were well-disciplined and well-coordinated.
"Anything else you'd like to add?"
Wang Ming said through his consciousness: "I have carried out preliminary detection, and no targets or other abnormalities have been found behind the first alloy gate, and I will immediately upload the relevant data information, and ask the command to conduct a more thorough analysis." ”
"Very well, I also trust your analytical judgment. The lowest level of sub-authority has been handed over to you, and the work will begin when the preparations are complete. ”
"Yes!"
Liu Ai didn't stay long, she finally checked the restoration of the infrastructure at the bottom, and after confirming that there was no problem, she ordered the bottom layer to be blocked, leaving only Wang Ming and the three of them in it.
"Boss, what do you say? I'm all set. ”
Xu Da sat in the driver's seat of the armored car, only one head was exposed, and a large and heavy machine gun was pointed at the alloy gate.
"Second brother, you're here to take overall control of the alloy gate and provide remote support in the rear." Wang Ming said to Xu Da.
"Hahaha...... Dick ...... Hahaha......" Li Tianming laughed obscenely while holding his stomach.
"Laugh at you, Ma De laugh."
A heavy box was thrown down by Xu Da from the armored car towards Li Tianming, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged it, for fear of bumping into it.
"Hey, you dick, I didn't compete with you for the ranking this time, you still don't thank me, do you still want to up with this box of deflagration bombs?"
Li Tianming carefully put down the box, opened it on the spot, and it was filled with soft particles made of non-combustible materials, and gently dug through the surface to take out a deflagration bomb with a bright silver shell.
"Go and go, you want to be the second child, you can be the second, I am happy to change with you." Xu Da shouted to him in the car.
It was Wang Ming who opened his mouth to let the two settle down: "Okay, don't make trouble, give me the deflagration bomb, the third child, build a bunker to block the space on both sides of the edge, and then enter the alert state." ”
"Gotcha."
Li Tianming first threw the deflagration bomb over, leaving a bright silver parabola in the air, and then turned around and picked up the two weight boxes that had just been used to warm up, and used them to block the door gaps on the left and right sides of the alloy gate respectively, leaving only a small opening in the middle.
Then, he pulled out two standard sabers from behind him, and after dancing two sword flowers flexibly in his hand, he held the saber in his left and right hands. He sank, hunched behind the weight box, his eyes fixed on the opening that had been set aside.
"The third child is ready."
Xu Da also aimed the machine gun at the opening, and shouted with some reluctance: "Second child...... Also ready. ”
Wang Ming loaded a pistol, and in the other hand held a deflagration bomb, opposite Li Tianming, also half-squatting behind the counterweight box on the other side.
"Three, two, one, on!"
As soon as Wang Ming's order was issued, even if the alloy gate might be empty after testing it in advance, everyone's spirits were still tense to the extreme.
Xu Da activated the electromagnetic system that controlled the gate through secondary authority, so that the alloy gate slowly lifted up a short distance with a creaking sound, just enough to throw a deflagration bomb in.
Wang Ming threw the deflagration bomb into it as soon as possible, and the three of them obviously cooperated very tacitly, and Xu Da also turned off the electromagnetic control at that moment, causing the heavy gate to fall again.
The next moment, a dull explosion sounded from behind the door, and the raging flames engulfed the small space that had been separated, and the air surged, and at the same time activated the fire alarm device, and the water continued to spray out from the gaps in the walls on both sides, but in an instant it was vaporized by the high-temperature flames.
It wasn't until the temperature in the chamber gradually cooled down that the water vapor slowly turned into bursts of mist, falling one after another, merging with the stagnant water on the ground, and finally spilling out through the tiny cracks in the door.
The effect of the deflagration bomb, in addition to causing a terrifying high temperature in an instant, will also consume the oxygen in the compartment, and under the action of water mist, the surrounding gaps will be blocked, making the inside in an extremely hypoxic state. The most terrifying thing is that this special deflagration bomb is added with a special flammable substance, and the gas released by the combustion is mixed with deadly poisonous gas.
After the explosion calmed down, Wang Ming pressed his hand on the alloy gate and once again emitted a detection pulse to reconstruct the internal image after the explosion.
After comparing it with the images before the explosion, no anomalies were found, so he reported upwards: "Command, the boss has made a mission report, the first compartment has completed its operation, no anomalies have been found, and it will wait for thirty minutes as planned before fully opening the work." ”
"Command has received it, and we have found no anomalies and are allowed to proceed as originally planned."
After receiving Liu Ai's reply, Wang Ming and Li Tianming dodged and retreated into the armored car, but Xu Da's machine gun muzzle was still aimed at the alloy gate. They didn't let their guard down, and the three of them would take turns keeping their guard.
Thirty minutes of waiting, even if the lack of oxygen and poison gas does not kill the target, can greatly weaken the opponent's state.
——
The sound of the explosion also came into the safe house, except for Lu Yuansheng, who almost all looked at the door, for fear that something would happen again.
"Don't be nervous, it's definitely the countermeasures bureau that is starting to put the finishing touches."
Lu Yuansheng slept on the sofa with his hands on his pillows, and now the light in the safe room has been restored, and the electronic sensor switch on the door has been restarted, which is obviously the power system has been repaired.
"What is this for? Blasting? Ayako asked curiously.
"Who knows, anyway, it's a turtle in the urn now, if we don't have to go out tomorrow, otherwise the countermeasures bureau may lock up Ying Xian for a few months, and she can die of thirst if she doesn't starve, this is the safest way."
Lu Yuansheng didn't guess the reason for the movement outside, and he didn't know Li Si's follow-up plan. Although the current network channel may have been repaired, he hasn't had time to confirm it, and he plans to find a reason to take a nap later, and then go and talk to Li Si properly.
"I hope that the countermeasures bureau can really succeed in solving the shadow."
Ayako looked at Lu Yuansheng and then at the gate, with some hope in her eyes.
Sakurako still had that elegant and dignified smile on her face, and said softly: "Ayako, don't worry so much, the arrangement of the countermeasures bureau has far exceeded my expectations, even if we are in Yuezhou, we may not be able to arrange such a perfect trap." ”
Lu Yuansheng just listened and didn't interject to answer. He knew very well in his heart that if there was no accident, Shadow, the second-ranked killer, might really be folded here. Although he is also a top killer, he has little sympathy for his peers.
Because he knows that in this era, a mere killer is of no great use at all, just a consumable. Even if it's their top killers, it's just a good tool that can be used a few more times, who knows which pervert or some mysterious new technology will be killed one day.
As for the ranking of that Raushzi's secret net, it is no different from a life talisman, a killer is famous enough, if there is no strong force to keep it, it means that death is not far away.
Even if someone protects them, it may not be useful, and some killers will be actively disposed of as garbage after being deemed useless by their masters.
So, if you make enough money, getting out of retirement as soon as possible is the king.
After not knowing the first alloy gate, after the explosion stabilized, Shadow removed his ears from the alloy gate, without any special reaction, just sat down against a corner, and closed his eyes to adjust his physical and mental state. The torn robe covered her entire body, and although there was a large area of blood on it, there was no specific injury under the robe.
Her breathing gradually slowed, and finally she was like a stone Buddha, motionless, without joy or sorrow.
