Chapter 510 Chapter 507 Stealth Methodology
Every citizen of Peicheng knows from a very young age that gangs are not good things, but gangs never worry about recruiting members, because many citizens of Peicheng do not have the daily life of gangs to nourish them. They work hard but cannot make money, and they can only remain humble even if they work hard. By joining a gang, not only can you improve your relative position in the food chain from the beginning, but you can also have the opportunity to continue to climb up.
The living conditions of some gang leaders are similar to those of middle-level management in a company, or even freer. They can enjoy large apartments, servants, and food from natural planting and breeding... Such treatment may not be enjoyed by ordinary people even after working hard for a lifetime or several lifetimes. The high price is one aspect, and the lack of corresponding channels is another.
There are only a few ways to rise, all written in the company's articles of association. Either you are gifted and have excellent adaptability to shadow followers, study hard all the way to take exams, become a shadow follower designer (only good grades can avoid becoming a shadow follower operator, also known as exchanging life for money), survive waves of elimination, improve the ability of shadow followers as much as possible, and install more shadow follower implants. This is Colonel Taff's way.
Another way is to become an employee of a company, climb up by any means, choose the right leader and path, make great contributions to the company, pass various trust tests, and become the person in charge of a certain area. Such people are basically concentrated in Taiping District in Peicheng, and a small number are still in Shangcheng District. Although they are also considered to be successful, it is not certain whether they can enjoy all-natural food.
The third way is to join a gang. To put it bluntly, it is also a dog of the company, but it is just a black dog. The competition on this road is also very fierce, but its competition threshold is very low, and everyone can try it. To put it bluntly, it is to mix and kill out of the gang career. If you are ruthless and decisive, there is hope.
There are very few gang members who can go through this road. There are only six in Peicheng, and Zhuang Xuteng and his team have set their sights on one of them. Rosa Miles, one of the three elders of the Canghuo Gang, formerly known as "Ms. President", has a 1,100-square-meter mansion in Taiping District. This place is often used to hold the most important meetings of the Canghuo Gang. It is usually heavily guarded and equipped with security forces equivalent to the level of the heads of the Peicheng branches of the four major companies. The only problem is: the security guards here are all from the gangs, and their individual strength is definitely not as good as the company's internal security department.
The chaos in Peicheng caused by Zhuang Xuteng is getting worse and worse. As the moat's mercenaries, PCPD and other forces also get involved, they continue to add fuel to the fire. The gang leaders' attempts to reduce the intensity have little effect. In order to avoid losses, the gangs began to transfer assets that are not easy to digest immediately, transporting them and hiding them in safer communities.
Rosa Myers doesn't like her house becoming a gang warehouse, but she also knows that helping the gang is helping herself. She is 54 years old, and her physical strength and energy are beginning to decline. Her tolerance for shadow implants and various shadow enhancement devices is also beginning to decline. Although she still maintains authority and management over the gang, and has a loyal force under her, she must start to consider finding a successor and gradually fade out of the gang.
Leaving the gang is not that easy. It's not like a mercenary who can retire incognito from then on. No, the only way to safely retire from the gang is to work in a company, or seek a position in the constitutional government under the company's appointment. The simplest but most unsafe channel is to become a member of parliament, which can be achieved by buying votes. The problem is that it is easy to get promoted today, but you don't know when it will be easily removed.
"Madam President"'s ambition is not so low. She wants to become a judge, and preferably a judge in the criminal court. If she succeeds, she can continue to provide convenience to the gang and create value for the company. Moreover, in that position, as long as it does not damage the interests of the company, it is basically a lifelong career and the position is quite stable.
The spring election of the court system is imminent, and she is busy making connections and getting herself into the system. This kind of thing cannot be done in one step. First go in, perform well, and then adjust. In three to five years, she can whitewash herself and transform herself into a chief judge of Peicheng.
At this time, it is best to reduce contact with gangs, especially appearing in the same screen with the bottom gangsters. There is competition within and between gangs. If the dark and evil means can't beat them, who wouldn't take a photo and send it to the media to destroy her "system"?
Whether she becomes a judge or retires has nothing to do with Zhuang Xuteng, and he doesn't know the news; Zhuang Xuteng thinks that the things stored by the Canghuo Gang in her vault can be related to him, and it would be best if he can put them in his pocket.
After three months of hard work, it's time to pack up the valuables and prepare to run away. Zhuang Xuteng, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow decided to do a big deal. They patiently collected a lot of intelligence about the gang, and after comprehensive research and judgment, they believed that Rosa Miles's income here should be worth the risk of the action. Under normal circumstances, the goods stored in the gang's warehouse are mostly messy and not of high value, and many contraband are difficult to handle. But the residence of "Mrs. President" must have gathered the most elite property of the gang, and it is more secure, and it is unlikely to be contraband that will die if exposed.
Whether it was theft or robbery, the first thing to consider was selling the stolen goods - in other words, the work couldn't be done in vain. Zhuang Xuteng supported this view. This time their target was property, not murder - they had killed enough people in three months - so he also began to study how to deal with Rosa Myers.
Without any information inside the gang, they couldn't get Rosa Myers' schedule and take action while she was away from home. The "Ms. President"'s manor was relatively independent, and Zhuang Xuteng could not find a suitable location for long-term latent observation. You must know that people living in Taiping District are either rich or noble. Every household has its own security protection. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause a chain reaction. The security guard at Ms. President's home is a gang member, and her neighbor's home may be a company security guard, or even more dangerous. This operation must be controlled to only target Rosa Miles and not affect the surrounding areas, nor can it take advantage of the "convenience" of the surrounding environment. This posed a relatively severe challenge to the team.
Two intelligence officers were responsible for collecting the situation, and the action plan was formulated by Zhuang Xuteng. Nightingale and Yanque claimed that they could not understand Zhuang Xuteng's stealth and fighting abilities, so they stopped interrupting. As long as Zhuang Xuteng thinks he can do it, they completely believe it. Their only request is that Zhuang Xuteng needs to clarify his requirements for the on-site support of the two intelligence officers. What kind of effect and cooperation he wants must be clearly explained and rehearsed in advance.
"You are the one who sneaks in and takes the risk, so you can't be careless. I suggest that we take this opportunity to practice a few preset tactics, so that when you need it, we can cooperate more quickly."
Nightingale's advice was timely. Having mastered all the necromancy spells of the Wraith system, and with the fact that Miss Bone Spear and Thousand-Eyed Cloak can be put into actual combat, the tactical coordination of their team really needs to be improved simultaneously. Based on the situation of this investigation, with Zhuang Xuteng as the leader, and based on his habitual movements and common abilities, they preset several situations and carried out targeted exercises and preparations respectively.
In fact, this is a bit like the feeling when they first teamed up to steal the casino group's treasury train. As the saying goes, slow work leads to careful work, so the three people decided to conduct three test and reconnaissance operations on the spot before actually starting to take action. Only by combining the content on the Internet with the information obtained from on-site investigation can we distinguish the authenticity and correct the omissions.
Unlike most manor mansions in the Taiping District, Rosa Myers' "Presidential Garden" is completely surrounded by a three-meter-high wall with barbed wire on top. It's all for security reasons, but it feels more like a fortress than a residence. The surrounding neighbors despised this architectural style, even though Rosa spent a lot of money to keep the outside of the wall covered with creeping plants all year round, and constantly updated the flowers at the base of the wall, allowing the place to maintain a rare vitality in Peicheng. The crown on her head You can’t throw away the labels of upstart and uneducated.
It can only be said that people have different needs and have different opinions. The high wall, which was ridiculed by the surrounding neighbors, was a troublesome problem for Zhuang Xuteng. Based on their observations, security personnel installed motion alarms on the walls and supplemented the dynamic surveillance with another system slightly further away. Continuous low-frequency sound waves constantly pass over the walls, and they work like bats, using echoes to find and track sneaking targets. Therefore, if you want to cross the wall, you must not move too fast. For example, if you move over slowly like a snail, you will be ignored by the dynamic monitoring system.
Slow motion consumes time, and you must consider the problems that patrol officers, sentry personnel and passers-by may notice. They initially planned to do it at night, as darkness and shadows would provide the best cover. But in reality, this group of people installed more than thirty searchlights, six of which shot into the sky, constantly changing colors and shapes, imitating the light show of a carnival ball, in order to cover the other twenty-four searchlights that were constantly scanning the wall.
At first glance, you can tell that this trick was learned from the prison. Although it is extremely incompatible with the environment of Taiping District, it is really easy to use. Zhuang Xuteng used the Eye of Kaho to look at the searchlight. It not only used visible light, but also used infrared rays to detect temperature changes.
Since it is impossible to keep the temperature of the wall and the climbing vines on it that are trying to grow new buds consistent with their own, they will definitely be detected by the infrared temperature sensor. Therefore, we can only go over quickly when the searchlight is not sweeping over, otherwise we will hit the motion detector. In this way, neither fast nor slow will work.
It is difficult to climb over a wall, and airborne landings are difficult to control and risky. Relatively speaking, getting under a car and sneaking in is more promising. But when Zhuang Xuteng walked around to the front, he discovered that there was a lighted mirror installed in front of the vehicle entry and exit gate. When the vehicle passed, it had to drive through a piece of extremely load-bearing tempered glass. The light under the glass would illuminate the bottom of the car, and there was a camera next to it. Each car must be inspected before entering, and no pass will be obtained without a reservation. After this series of operations, Zhuang Xuteng began to admire the lady president.
"Rosa Miles had a group of subordinates when she was in the Blue Fire Gang. They had many murders on their hands, including the assassination of unions, journalists and some law enforcement officials. This person's record is quite impressive. Maybe these protective measures are derived from Her experience." Yanque held her chin and said: "We have checked, and the results of the searchlight and the car bottom mirror are not within the manor's network system, but are directly connected to the handheld terminal of the guard on duty through a wired method. . The two of us can only modify it by directly touching the data line, but it would be better to kill the person on duty."
Yanque's words reminded Zhuang Xuteng. Not alerting the enemy is a kind of stealth, so that the enemy will not be alerted, it is also stealth, so he began to think about whether it was feasible to kill all the security forces in the manor.
This is not nonsense, some mercenaries have really done this. Practice has proved that eliminating all security forces is quite suitable for theft commissions - who would not like the process of moving treasures without restrictions?
"Can I see the surveillance footage?" Zhuang Xuteng said to the two sisters: "No need to control, as long as you can see it. The only requirement must be real-time."
"We can get the footage, but how do you see it? At least forty footage, there are not so many screens for you."
"I use the flat-headed brother to receive these signals, start the zombie mode, and then I can transmit the surveillance footage to my eyes."
"In zombie mode, you are half paralyzed..." Nightingale blinked and asked, "Isn't it dangerous?"
"I don't have to be half paralyzed all the time, just look at it occasionally when I need it." Zhuang Xuteng smiled, avoiding entanglement on this topic, and asked: "Is it safe for you to transmit signals to the flat-headed brother? Will it be discovered?"
Nightingale said: "We also use The flathead brother sends a signal, so that the battlefield-specific communication protocol between flathead brothers can be used. This protocol is only installed and used in flathead brother equipment. Unless there are other flathead brothers here that we don't know about, and it happens to be in our communication protocol in advance among the 1.4 million options, and it remains silent and eavesdropping, otherwise no one will know what we are transmitting. "
Tai Que added: "Even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter. We are transmitting monitoring signals, without any changes, just watching, and will not expose our own information."
"Okay, let's try this method." Zhuang Xuteng recalled the floor plan of the entire building and found the best coverage method and hiding point based on the activity range of the sick lady, the shadow, the thousand-eye cloak and the ghost jelly.
Since it is difficult to pass through the wall, then don't go through it, and start killing people from outside the wall. No matter the motion detector or the infrared searchlight, it has no effect on the sick lady; even if there is still a shadow from the energy detection, Zhuang Xuteng has the thousand-eye cloak to deal with it.
The key to the success of the operation has changed from not being discovered by the enemy to the assassination action. There are two types of guards in the "Presidential Garden". One type is patrol personnel carrying weapons and communication equipment, and the other type is those who use wired signals to monitor various alarms at fixed positions. In order to prevent the signal from being hijacked, they use independent wired connections in several key systems; this connection method separates people from each other, giving Zhuang Xuteng the opportunity to execute and defeat each system independently.
Sequence, method, and timing are the key elements of assassination. Zhuang Xuteng has to deal with a dynamic and complex defense system, which tests his brain power, especially his ability to coordinate multiple tasks in parallel. Another test is mana. Miss Sick's daily actions, maintaining the Thousand Eyes Cloak, unfolding the Wrath Jelly, and providing ammunition for the Banshee's Howl and Bone Spear...
Zhuang Xuteng suddenly missed the Legion Juice. Before Boss Qian was forced to leave, the juice was very good for restoring energy and had no side effects. Unfortunately, he had already drunk it up for cultivation.
It seems that I can only have a good sleep first, rest up enough energy, and then carry out this mission.
