Chapter 479 Building Within a Building
Now that you even know the location, it's easy.
Our troops were all flown in, and the plane hasn't left yet. We might as well take off directly from here, and then land directly in New York.
This time, in order to deal with this group of selfish anti-human elements, the Americans also tried their best. With the exception of Terry and his men within our ranks, no one belonging to the United States will ever know about our plan of action or the course of our actions. The only requirement of the U.S. government is that we bring Terry and the others as observers, and we need to bring video equipment so that we can understand our actions later. For the rest, we do not need to report to any U.S. departments or personnel at all, and all communication procedures are ignored. Reissue after the action is completed.
The biggest benefit of this is that our operations will be completely secretive. The Americans will shut down the North American air defense network during this period. The air defense systems in North America will be temporarily taken over by the space monitoring networks of the countries participating in the operation. The advantage of doing this is the same as not having to report information. It can completely prevent those people from knowing about our actions.
The advantage of not having a superior command is that no matter what problem we encounter, it can be decided by Hans and I, and the international leaders have spoken out before this time. Behind us are the people of the world. No matter what help we need, we can ask for it at any time and they will do their best to give us the greatest support. Of course, this is mainly just a statement. It is already very scary for our Dragon Guards and Germany's Hydra troops to go out together. In a place like New York, there is really nothing that requires the help of the people of the world.
Because of the previous pursuit battle and the subsequent troop assembly, we were delayed a lot of time. It is now past one o'clock in the afternoon US time. Regarding those spacecrafts, reports are being broadcast on the news, and it is announced that there has been a major technical failure, resulting in the spacecraft being temporarily unable to launch. In the news, several experts and scholars talked about various technologies. Then it was cryptically revealed that the launch might be canceled this time. Of course, this is all arranged. Those abnormalities are now under control, and of course they will not be launched again, but there must be an explanation to the people, and technical failure is the most reasonable explanation. Because it is impossible for ordinary people to understand the technical problems of the spacecraft, everyone can only believe what the experts say. The reason why the launch was not canceled suddenly was just for show. After all, although the spacecraft was under control, the interior had not been completely cleaned, so the spacecraft still had to stop for a while. It happened to be announced that there was a technical failure, but it was still working hard to repair it. Still planning to launch. Of course, everyone inside knows that if those things really take off suddenly, it can only mean that the terrorists have succeeded.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon local time in New York, several large aircraft passed over from high in the sky, which did not attract anyone's attention. Because these planes fly very high, they don’t look much different from civil aviation. However, after these planes approached the sky above New York, they suddenly opened the cabin below, and then small black dots that were invisible to the naked eye spilled out of the cabin.
It’s different from the last time I airborne. The ones who came this time were the best among the best, without any backward equipment. It's just like wearing power armor to perform a powered airborne landing. Not only is the landing point controllable, but the speed is also very fast, and there is no need to land slowly like a parachute. And it won't be particularly conspicuous.
New York is usually a super prosperous city, and the streets are bustling with cars and people, and traffic jams are almost synonymous with New York, especially when commuting to and from get off work. Although the fight here is in full swing, due to the news blockade, the people in New York do not know what is happening, and everyone is still living their usual lives. However, some symptoms of the Great Migration have actually emerged. At this time, the number of pedestrians on the streets of New York has been reduced by at least half compared to a few years ago, and the vehicles on the roads are no longer congested. Although it still looks quite prosperous, there is a huge gap compared to a few years ago.
In fact, a large part of the reason for this phenomenon can be attributed to "Zero", because all countries are busy building immigration ships. In order to reduce unnecessary consumption of resources, all countries are actively promoting the game "Zero" to attract a large number of people. of moving from the real world into the game. You must know that the total amount of natural resources consumed by a person for one hour in the game and one hour in reality is very different. If we idealize the world and allow everyone who has nothing to do with the construction of immigrant ships to enter the game, then many resources in reality can be saved. For example, because everyone is in the game, the chances of going out will be reduced a lot, so the gasoline and diesel used for transportation can be saved. Also, if everyone lives in the game, the demand for real food will drop significantly, because in the game state people's physical activity is very small and consumption is very small, and everyone's food intake will also drop significantly. At the same time, a series of requirements for clothing and housing will be reduced, and the benefit of this is to save a lot of human and material resources. If all these resources are concentrated on building immigration ships, how many more immigration ships can be built?
Precisely because all countries know that integrating people into games has great benefits, countries around the world are sparing no effort to promote the gamification process, allowing everyone to enter the game, reducing the consumption of external resources, and stabilizing the social structure at the same time.
The direct result of the implementation of this policy is that the number of pedestrians on the streets has dropped sharply in cities around the world. Even in world-class metropolises like New York, the flow of people has dropped sharply.
After we tracked the signal to New York, we immediately activated the signal again. Dr. Donovan's locator responded immediately, and we received the signal instantly.
"Over there, follow me." I reminded in the wireless communication, then spread my wings, turned on the thrusters behind me, and quickly dived towards a very tall building.
This building is relatively famous in the United States because it is the New Energy Building in New York. This building has been built less than two years ago. It uses a lot of cash technology and is known as a model for future human habitation. The entire building is controlled by a supercomputer, and all exterior windows and the water supply, air conditioning, fire extinguishing and other systems in the building are all controlled by this computer. In addition, this building has many energy-saving and environmentally friendly designs, and the average energy consumption per resident is much lower than other buildings.
Because this is an experimental building, it is not for sale to the public. Those who want to move in must apply first and then be screened by the construction company before they can move in. The people currently living there are basically elites from all walks of life, and they are basically technical experts.
The signal we detected came from this building. The height should be between the 40th and 60th floors. This location does not appear to be very high for this building. Because this building has a total of 153 floors, although it is not the tallest building in the world, it is not far behind. At least it's a lot taller than most of the buildings around it.
The outer glass walls of a building like this are fully enclosed and cannot be opened at all. Entering from the middle is obviously prone to problems, so we have two options. One is to go down from the rooftop. The second is to search from bottom to top after landing.
The advantage of coming down from the rooftop is that it is not easy to alarm ordinary people, but it is easier to alarm those anti-human elements. As for going from the bottom up, the situation is just the opposite. It may cause panic to ordinary people, but it will not have much impact on the rescue operation. It’s just that the subsequent news blackout may be a little more troublesome.
We are not engaged in public opinion control. The subsequent matters will be left to those who specialize in news control. Of course, we put our mission as the top priority in everything, so we only hesitated for two seconds before making the decision. Start the assault from below.
In fact, there is another advantage to attacking from the bottom up, that is, it is not easy for the enemy to escape.
If we attack from top to bottom. Then when the enemy finds that it can't be stopped, it will start to consider evacuation routes, and the ground is obviously a good evacuation route. What's more important is that this kind of building must have a basement, and New York has a very exaggerated and complex underground transportation network. If the other party is allowed to enter the underground transportation network, it will not be easy to find them. on the contrary. If we enter from below, we can cut off this passage and drive the enemy upward little by little. Even if the other party prepares airplanes, it is impossible to have many helicopters in one building. The number of people who can escape at most is an exaggeration. Moreover. Even if they fly away, we are not afraid, because compared to the ground, it is easier to intercept them in the air. Don't forget that the only people who enter the building are us normal-sized creatures. Fortunately, they can't get in, so they can only wait outside. If the opponent is hiding a plane, it will be their best target.
Our plan hadn't even landed yet, but we didn't really all rush in from below, but divided the work in the air.
Our team and the Hydra troops have separated a small team to guard the rooftop platform. Terry also left one person as an observer to join the two small teams. As for the large team, they landed directly on the ground.
On the ground below the New Energy Building, some pedestrians passed by as usual. The retail stores on the street were deserted, but there were some pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, some men and women in love could be seen passing by holding hands. At the entrance to the lobby in front of the building, the electronic guard station stands straight, greeting people entering and exiting the building from time to time. Not far away, there are slightly more vehicles entering and exiting the underground garage.
In this seemingly peaceful environment, someone suddenly seemed to hear some unusual sounds, so they looked up, but they were shocked the next second, because what they saw was a large area of fire that was shooting toward the ground. Propulsor, with the banging sound of banging in the next second, matte black power armors landed one after another, followed by some power armors that looked like ancient armors, with angel-like wings. Land slowly.
"Team 678 set up a blockade. Team 5 is going to block the underground passage. Team 4 is responsible for searching for other passages. The other teams follow me." Hans gave the order as soon as he landed, and then He ran towards the door of the building in front.
The silver-white security robot that originally looked like a trash can suddenly jumped up after seeing us, its folded limbs stretched out, and its eyes changed from blue to red, and a police light rose up behind it, but this time Before the thing even sounded the siren, Hans shot it in the air and blew it up. It fell to the ground and stopped moving after being whipped twice.
"Quick, quick, quick, don't stand there stupidly, rush in, rush in." Hans is different from us. He is a standard soldier. He does things in a strict manner and is not as lazy as us. certainly. In terms of combat effectiveness, we are actually stronger than them, but our behavior is different.
The Hydra personnel who followed Hans rushed into the building at a trot, and then we slowly followed in. If anything happens, it won't happen in one place, so we are not in a hurry.
Hans entering the hall naturally caused panic. Many women let out high-pitched screams, and most of the men hid aside. If the other person is just a thug. Some people might dare to act bravely, but the opponents are obviously wearing power armor and holding guns in their hands. In this case, those who rush forward are idiots.
Although there was a commotion among the crowd, everyone soon discovered that these people did not seem to care about them, so many people began to speed up and ran towards the door, and then ran out from both sides of the door against the walls. I was afraid that these mysterious people would suddenly want to capture a few hostages for use.
Because we were wearing armor, the people knew we were in the same group when they saw us. They immediately separated and ran past us on both sides, not daring to stop us at all. Looking at the surging crowd, I was finally glad that I didn't let Yeyue and Xiao Budian come in through the main entrance. Otherwise, this witness would have perished in the sea.
Although the crowd keeps pouring out, this building is the same as other buildings in this block. The bottom six floors are commercial buildings, and there are 12 floors of commercial buildings above. The upper floors are two floors contracted by a certain company, and the 20th floor and above are residential areas. This design is decided. There are definitely not a few people in this building. Regardless of how many people are in the business building above, people are indispensable in this six-story mall alone. Even though the surging crowd looked like a flood, I was sure that at least half of the people above had no idea that there was a riot below. Otherwise, the crowd will definitely become crowded and crowded in an instant.
"Hans, after dispersing the crowd, be careful to leave a few people in the hall." I reminded on the communicator while observing the environment here.
Although Hans didn't know why I wanted to keep people in a place like this, it was agreed that I would be the captain of this operation and he would be the deputy. Therefore, adhering to the German's consistent execution ability, he did not raise any questions, but Two people were quickly assigned to guard the hall and then headed up with the rest of us.
We quickly completed the six floors and then entered the office portion above. The structure here is a little strange. Compared with the mall below, the space above seems very narrow. Of course, it's not particularly obvious, it just feels like this. However, we are not ordinary people after all. In addition to seeing with our eyes, we can also use electromagnetic induction to scan the surrounding environment. However, instead of dispelling my doubts, the scan results made me even more strange.
The scan showed that there is indeed a large area of vacation in the center of the nearby business building on several floors. This place is located in the central area of the business building. This area is surrounded by a circle of elevator shafts, with a big hole in the middle. The designers of this building even used staggered door openings. The elevator openings on each floor have different directions to disturb people's movement. The sense of space prevents you from feeling an obvious loss of space when traveling between different floors, but in fact this design is very obvious and purposeful in hiding the hollow in the center surrounded by the elevator shaft.
The existence of this hollow is already quite strange, but something even stranger is yet to come. I don’t know why this vertical cavity is filled with a large amount of steel. Because there is too much metal, my senses become quite blurry. I can only roughly know that this space is full of metal brackets, and there are some messes. I don't know what it is used for.
After scanning these things, I immediately drew the information I scanned into a three-dimensional perspective, and then passed it on to Hans and others. Although Hydra soldiers cannot view data directly in their electronic brains like us, they have display screens on their helmets and can still see various graphical data.
"What's going on with the hole in the middle?" Hans had seen the design drawings of this building before. All the architectural structures in the United States are backed up in the National Archives. When we came here, Terry copied the entire New York data. When we arrived here and determined that it was this building, he pulled out the part of the building. It was shown to us, so when Hans saw this perspective chart, he immediately noticed that this was different from the data he had seen before.
All the rooms in this building are different from the drawings backed up by the U.S. government. They deliberately reduced the size in each direction to give a little space to each room. In the end, there was such a hole in the center of the building, and this hole It becomes a completely unknown area, where the real secret lies.
Such a hidden design definitely took more than a day or two, and it must have been thought out when the building was built. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve this effect through subsequent renovations.
"Should we go there and have a look?" Hans asked me
I hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Try it first. If you can't find the entrance, don't force a breakthrough, so as not to scare the snake."
"I understand." (To be continued ~^~)
