Chapter 480: Cautious Exchange of Fire
After determining the direction of action, we maintained our attack formation and approached the central elevator shaft. There were already very few people in the corridor. Most people reacted quickly and evacuated along the stairs. The rest were some who did not leave in time for various reasons. .
Because Hans's power armor is larger and less flexible, I placed them in the second echelon. I led Jingjing in front. After passing through the office area and entering the corridor, I walked less than five meters forward when a door on the left front suddenly opened, and then I saw a woman walking out of it. She was immediately frightened when she saw us. There. I released my left hand holding the gun and waved at her, then moved closer to the right side of the corridor, and the people behind me immediately gave way to the passage.
The woman was not too stupid. After seeing our actions, she knew to let her pass. Moreover, our equipment obviously did not look like terrorists. After all, the things were too advanced. Terrorists would attack the White House directly if they had this equipment. , why bother occupying a civilian building for such a big deal? Besides, there is no bank or anything in this building, there is no cash or valuables, and robbery is impossible, so the woman immediately made sure that we were not bad guys, felt relieved and immediately regained her ability to move, and hurried towards us. While running, after only two steps, I suddenly remembered something and shouted to us: "There are still people inside."
"Tell him to come out. Go downstairs quickly. There may be a gunfight here soon."
When the other party heard that there was a gunfight, he quickly shouted, and a man immediately ran out of the room. When he came out and saw us, he was stunned for a moment, but he probably heard our voices before and knew something about it, so he was just stunned for a moment. He returned to normal, then hurriedly ran over, took the woman's hand, and ran over.
After they passed, the team reunited. Jingjing and Lingling stood on both sides with shields on their heads. I held a gun in the gap between them. If there was any situation in front of them, their shields would be closed immediately, even if there were missiles.
We walked through the corridor without finding anything wrong, and soon arrived at the elevator shaft. First, we contacted the people below to close all the elevators, and then we forcefully opened the elevator doors. Inside is an empty elevator shaft.
The elevator shaft itself is actually a dangerous place, but it didn't pose any problem to us. I jumped directly from the elevator entrance here and flew to the opposite wall. Hans came to the door of the elevator shaft and looked at me and asked: "How is the situation?"
"The thirty-five centimeter thick reinforced armor plate can be penetrated, but it will definitely be discovered."
"The other party should already know that we made such a big noise from below, so there's no need for us to avoid it, right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes. It's really unnecessary, but it seems like it's just a support structure down here. It's useless for us to go in. I suggest we find an entrance from above. At least we have to find the transmitter first."
Hans nodded: "Then let's go first."
I kicked off the wall and jumped back. Next to the elevator shaft is the safety staircase. We followed the safety staircase all the way up. On the way there, we met several clerks who were running slowly, but nothing happened to them. Climbing to the 19th floor in one breath, this is one of the two floors rented by the independent company. It does not share the elevator with the 18th floor below. But safety stairs are universal.
After climbing up the safety ladder, we immediately realized something was wrong. The entrance to the safety elevator on the nineteenth floor is not a manual door that can be opened at any time, but an automatic door. Moreover, there is no handle on the door. There is only a palmprint recognition switch with a card reader on the side of the door. You can also see a camera above the door facing the door.
"Attention everyone, we've been spotted. Prepare to fight,"
We are dragons and are extremely sensitive to subtle changes in electric and magnetic fields, so even though the camera on the door did not have a working indicator light, I still found out at the first glance that the camera was activated, and it continued after we appeared. It turned a little bit in the direction of our movement.
Because the outer cover of this black hemispherical camera is one-way light-transmitting, it is normally impossible for people outside to know whether the camera is activated, and they cannot see the camera rotating, but we can sense it, so I A warning was issued immediately.
After receiving my warning, Hans and the others quickly raised their weapons, and Scott and the others also carefully raised their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
I walked over to the obviously irregular door and took a closer look. There is no handle on the door, and it is not the kind that opens from the inside out, but a sliding door that opens to both sides. Generally speaking, sliding doors that cannot be opened and closed manually are not allowed at fire escape entrances, because fires are often accompanied by power outages, and such doors are difficult to open manually after a power outage. It is obviously unsafe to place them at the fire escape entrance. Moreover, glass is prone to bursting when exposed to changes in heat and cold. In a building fire, the temperature inside the fire site may be as high as thousands of degrees. Even the steel beams inside the building can melt, not to mention the glass? Therefore, this kind of door does not meet the requirements of fire doors and is obviously constructed illegally.
How could the people who built this building design such a high-tech building make mistakes on such a low-level issue? Therefore, this door is not a design error at all, but intentional. The reason is that there are certain secrets hidden in this building, and this door is the first line of defense. Therefore, it is designed to pay attention to security, but it does not meet the requirements. Fireproof bulletproof glass doors.
I put my hand on the glass door, then released the electromagnetic induction, and scanned a distance ahead. No armed personnel were found, but the door was indeed made of bulletproof glass. What was even more frightening was that the walls on both sides of the door were actually covered with bulletproof glass. The steel plate was covered with an astonishingly thick steel plate. My scanning was severely affected, and I could only weakly sense the situation in the nearby area.
Hans saw that I hadn't moved for a long time and then asked me about the situation on the communication. I could only tell him that the nearby walls were filled with steel plates and asked them to be careful when firing.
After talking to Hans, I reached back and Ling took out something the size of a button from the small bag at his waist. I took it and pressed it against the door, then pressed it lightly. With a loud cracking sound, the ten centimeter-thick bulletproof glass door exploded and turned into broken glass.
Although bulletproof glass has high hardness, the inherent weakness of the crystal is that it is too brittle. Once it resonates with the high-frequency shock wave, it will be easily broken, so it is not too troublesome to deal with this thing.
After passing through the door frame without glass, we entered the back corridor, but as soon as I stepped in, I immediately retracted my feet, and then stepped back while shouting: "Bomb!"
As expected, the Hydra troops were all the best among the best. The moment they heard my reminder, they all squatted down and hugged each other. This can reduce the area that bears the impact force and help reduce injuries. At the same time, the strength of the overall structure can be strengthened after being held together, and the ability to resist damage will be greatly improved.
Similar to Hydra, our people here also move quickly. Jingjing and Lingling, who had been guarding me all the time, quickly moved towards the center and clamped the two shields together, then hugged me and squatted on the ground. The next second they saw a sudden flash in the passage in front. With a bang, the entire corridor and stairway shook violently.
The doors on each floor below the entire fire escape were torn off in an instant, and many people near the doors were blown out by the air waves, especially near the first floor, because there were ordinary people near the doors. It even caused a scream.
In fact, the explosion could be seen outside the building, because a large hole was opened in the glass on this floor, and a large ball of flames and thick smoke rushed out. If we were ordinary commandos, we could basically be wiped out all at once. But luckily we are not ordinary commandos. Whether it's us or Hydra. They are all super powerful combat units. Our dragon clan's physique is basically that of a superman, while Hydra's soldiers are still humans. But the power armor on them was really advanced and powerful, so the explosion failed to achieve the expected effect.
Five or six seconds after the explosion, the smoke and dust in the corridor had not completely dispersed. I have already started asking around in the internal communication. The people on our side basically didn't react at all. The physique of the Dragon Clan is beyond what humans can imagine. Even if we were to bear the shock wave without wearing any protective equipment, it would only be uncomfortable at the time, not to mention that we were wearing power armor. As for the people in the Hydra troops, they were still somewhat shaken, but their power armor was indeed quite good, blocking most of the power. In addition, these soldiers themselves are also among the best in human physique, so in addition to Apart from some dizziness, there are basically no major problems. It will only take a few minutes to completely return to normal. Even now, it is just uncomfortable, so fighting will definitely be no problem.
In fact, I discovered a problem as soon as I entered the cross-border gate, because the gas detector on the power armor detected a high-octane flammable gas with an alarming concentration. The passage just now was actually filled with this gas and oxygen. This was a cloud bomb that had spread. The moment I discovered these gases, I realized what the steel plates on the walls were for. The other party deliberately designed such a device to release explosive gas. In order to increase the damage and prevent the explosion from affecting the structure of the building itself, the other party embedded steel plates in the wall so that it would be released during the explosion. The shock wave cannot be vented from the wall, so it can only be discharged along the channel to both ends. This creates an energy-gathering effect, which can multiply the explosive force.
However, the opponent never expected that all the troops entering here would be equipped with power armor, and it was such advanced power armor. You must know that according to their calculations, if it is the kind of lightweight power armor used by riot police, the explosion just now is enough to turn the power armor into iron pieces. However, this kind of explosion has no effect on us and Hydra's power armor, because we are not riot police. The power armor on our bodies basically represents the most cutting-edge military technology of mankind. Based on this alone The explosive gas won't do anything to us.
In fact, if they had replaced other troops, even if they were not killed by the explosion, they would have died of suffocation afterwards. The explosion just now was caused by the mixture of flammable gas and air. That is to say, after the explosion, the oxygen in the air was completely burned out, and what was left were other gases that could not support breathing. Although this building is not closed, this corridor is obviously semi-closed. It takes a long time for oxygen to enter here through air flow. Even if this time is not enough to suffocate us, it should definitely be enough to create chaos.
The other party had obviously made second-hand preparations. Less than ten seconds after the explosion, a secret door suddenly opened on the wall on the side of the passage ahead where there seemed to be no door, and then there was a group of people wearing black urban combat uniforms. . People carrying small oxygen backpacks and breathing masks poured out of the secret door. These people were all equipped with automatic weapons, and some people behind them were actually carrying light machine guns and grenade launchers. This kind of firepower was simply luxurious. Moreover, in their imagination, they should be out to clean up a group of defeated soldiers lying half dead on the ground. After all, the explosion occurred less than ten seconds ago. A normal person would be stunned even if he didn't die, and he should be in a state of confusion now.
However, we discovered it as soon as the secret door they came out opened. I sent a new account to the others, and then quickly moved to the side of the glass door. Ling was hiding on the other side. Jingjing and Lingling were holding shields in front of us, ready to help us block bullets at any time.
As all the people in front enter the passage. Then we received a weak electrical pulse signal, which was the communicator used by the other party's personnel. The coding of this kind of communicator is very simple, and I don’t even need a professional like Xiao Chun. I just received it and translated it immediately. This signal was the opponent's captain ordering his men to turn on infrared night vision devices. Although it is broad daylight now, all the light tubes in the building were destroyed after the explosion. Including emergency lights, after all, the explosion will not destroy you just because you have emergency lights. Moreover, even if there were lights, it would be useless because the corridors would be filled with smoke and dust. Nothing can be seen beyond two meters. There is no air circulation in such a narrow passage, and it is estimated that it will be impossible for the smoke and dust to completely dissipate within seven or eight minutes. When the other party determined that we had all been killed or stunned by the bombs, they sent a team of armed men with night vision goggles to clear the area. This shows how cautious the other party was and did not leave us a chance at all.
But it's a pity that even so careful. The other party still failed to take advantage.
Just as the group of people were carefully advancing forward with guns in hand, Ling and I suddenly jumped out from both sides of the door at the same time, along with Jingjing and Lingling. As soon as we came out, the special rifles in Ling and I's hands started roaring, and although the opponent was a little slower than us, they also started to fight back. However, we had two shields in front of us, and we only exposed a small part of it. When we fire from outside, most of the opponent's bullets are blocked by shields. The occasional hits cannot penetrate our powered armor. However, we hit them with one shot at a time. The efficiency is not super high. The exchange of fire is over in less than fifteen seconds. . At this time, the smoke and dust have not completely dissipated, but the enemy on the opposite side is already lying on the ground.
"Clear." After I shouted, Jingjing and Lingling immediately stood up, then carefully raised their shields and moved forward, while Ling and I followed slowly. Hans and the others had already recovered from the gun battle just now and followed them one after another.
After walking through the several-meter-long passage, we saw the guys we were fighting with. At this time, these guys were lying in various weird shapes or leaning against the walls. There were shapes on the surrounding ground, walls, and even the ceiling. There was blood, and the scene was extremely tragic.
The cross-border corpses walked to the secret door they came out of, and found that it was actually an elevator, and the controller was on it. We couldn't open it from here, so we had to move on.
There has been a straight corridor from here, eventually leading to the glass exterior wall of the building, but now it has turned into a big hole. After all, the power of the explosion always needs an outlet.
There are office areas on both sides of this passage. Because the steel plates are embedded in the wall, the sensing ability is limited. I could only open the door and take a look. As soon as I opened the door, I found that it was full of people.
I thought everyone had gone down before, but I didn't expect that there were at least 200 people gathered here, and most of them were women.
When I suddenly saw this group of people, I felt a little strange, not because they didn't run away, but because of their appearance.
Regardless of whether they were male or female, these people were all too beautiful in appearance. I don’t know, they thought this was a modeling agency. But according to the information registered, this should be a high-tech information company, that is, a network operating company. Isn't this kind of company supposed to be full of otakus and rotten girls? Is this a gross situation right now? Does the company use the results of the beauty pageant as a reference for personnel assessment when recruiting people?
"Terry." As soon as I turned around, I called out to the back, and Terry immediately ran up.
"What's up?"
"Looking through the database, what's going on with these people?"
Terry stretched his head to take a look, and then exclaimed: "Why are there so many? When will we see this?"
"Give me permission."
Terry hesitated for a moment and then directly handed over his left hand. I pulled out the cable from the back of my neck and plugged it into the interface on the side of his wrist. Then a large series of data flashed across the screen in front of me. I unplugged it in less than five seconds. He picked up the connection line, then turned to look at these people. At this time, there was an extra arrow on everyone's head, but some of these people's arrows were green, some were yellow, and some were orange, and there were actually five red ones.
After scanning these people, I immediately picked up my gun and walked inside while shouting: "Everyone squats against the wall, men on the left and women on the right. No talking, no making noise." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun, and then shot Without warning, one of the black men's heads was blown off with a single shot. There were exclamations and screams all around. Of course I wasn't shooting civilians for no reason, I was shooting to scare the crowd into silence, and the one I killed was one with a red mark. There is a major problem with this guy's identity. He is probably the core member of the opponent's organization. As for the possibility of wrong intelligence... then go to the US Intelligence Agency. I'm here to help anyway. The information was given by them and it's none of my business. (To be continued ~^~)
