New York City, 10 p.m.

Although the city center is not as lively as during the day, there are still many pedestrians walking around the streets. A dark gray van slipped through the somewhat sparse traffic before turning into a side road and coming to a halt.

This stop is an hour. It wasn't until there were fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the street that the pickup truck started again, and then, all the street lights in the vicinity suddenly flashed a few times as if the voltage was unstable, and then returned to normal.

No one noticed that after these flashes of street lights, all the nearby surveillance systems could no longer find any trace of the dark gray van.

The pickup truck had not gone far before turning onto another path, and on this road, there were even fewer people.

A few minutes later, a hatch appeared in the roof of the pickup truck, and five black flying machines the size of frisbees flew out of it silently, and then flew higher and higher, directly to a kilometer altitude, before they began to fly in other directions. At this time, the hatch on the top of the pickup truck also closed and fell silent again.

After approaching a cylindrical building at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, the five aircraft stopped, lowered their altitude slightly, and then remained in a fixed position, suspended in the air and did not move.

"The drone position is fixed." Inside the carriage, a clone soldier reports to Conings.

"Check the patrol and guard positions again." Conings glanced at the screen, nodded, and then said to the other clone in charge of monitoring, "If those guys change their course of action, let me know first." ”

"Sir, all surveillance in the vicinity is under full control, and they can't see us anymore."

"Sir, Master Chief is gone." With the preparations ready, several reports came to Conings.

I frowned as I watched the truck door open and close silently, but I couldn't see anyone getting on or off the bus. Conings connected Chen Xi's communication: "Master Chief, isn't today's plan to observe the guard force and its patrol routes?" Are you going to go it alone? ”

"Yes, I'm going to look closer, there are some things that drones can't see clearly."

"This should be tomorrow's plan." Conings asked, puzzled. "Is it necessary to be in such a hurry? We don't even have a model of the target and the surrounding terrain yet. ”

"During the day I saw something that I was concerned about, so I plan to check it out at night."

"Daytime? Why haven't I heard you talk about it? ”

"Because I haven't decided if that thing has anything to do with us."

"What is it?"

"It's supposed to be a weapon, but I'll wait until I'm sure I'll see for myself." After speaking, Chen Xi cut off the communication.

Although optical camouflage is only 15 minutes long, it takes an hour to replenish energy after using it. But Chen Xi's speed was fast, and he crossed three blocks in five minutes and came to the bottom of the target building.

At this time, there were three times as many people guarding this place as during the day, and in this regard, Chen Xi could only think that the other party had decided that his side would only act at night, although they were not wrong.

In the four corners of the building, there is a team of five people stationed to guard it, and there is a ten-man patrol on each of the four sides, which is only visible. Chen Xi: The sniper teams they had observed during the day. It's still there. In the adjacent buildings, there are several rooms with people as observed by the bee drone alone, observing the target building and the surrounding situation 24 hours a day. On the top floor of the target building, there are more than twenty guards, guarding all directions of the building, including the sky, but they can't see the tall and small bee drones.

As for the entrances to the building, they are even more heavily guarded. The main entrance for people to enter and exit. Not to mention, there are four guards inside and out.

The underground parking lot was similarly sealed with roller shutters, and in addition to more than a dozen guards, an armored vehicle was stationed there.

It took three minutes. Chen Xi carefully observed the exterior of the cylindrical building, and after comparing it with the images observed by the drone, he finally found a passage that he could enter.

"It's a little bit taller, though." Chen Xi looked at the unclosed sliding window on the fifth floor, and laughed at himself helplessly, "You have to go in before they find out." Let's hope it's not a trap. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed against the glass wall in front of him, his hands and feet firmly attached to the glass, and then climbed up the glass wall of the building like a gecko.

Within minutes, he had climbed to the window on the fifth floor that he saw. Then he pulled a cable from his helmet that could be twisted at will, and reached into the window, which was a probe, which he used to observe.

It was apparently a multi-person office, with several desks stacked with various office equipment and computers.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no traps and monitoring equipment inside, Chen Xi flipped in.

After casually flipping through the documents on those desks, they were just some inconsequential things, and after not seeing anything useful, Chen Xi decided to wait a while before continuing to act, his optical camouflage still had three minutes, no matter how spared it was, it was not enough, so now, he had to find a place to stay for a while, let the optical camouflage return to the charging source, or......

He looked around the office, checked the location of the power supply, and then pulled a wire from his backpack and connected it to an electrical outlet......

"It doesn't improve much about the power recharge capacity and duration, but as long as there's a power source, it's pretty good." Looking at the charging situation of the power supply displayed on the helmet screen, Chen Xi smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "The civilian power supply can also be charged, I really don't know which guy came up with it." (In the distance, Lin Hai suddenly sneezes.) ）

But what Chen Xi didn't know was that in a room with a lot of screens in the building, a staff member suddenly said to a black man dressed as a supervisor: "Boss, there is a report of an increase in current usage. ”

"Increased current usage?" The black supervisor walked up to him, "Isn't the lab always overpowered?" ”

"It's not a lab." The staff member replied, "It's the electricity consumption of the external office area." We have been monitoring those areas in a variety of ways, including video surveillance and air vibration monitoring, and recently we have installed a power monitoring system to control the electricity consumption of the external areas. ”

"I know that." The black supervisor tapped a few times on the keyboard and looked up a few video surveillance footage, "Couldn't it be a fault or a problem with the voltage of those appliances?" Isn't this new monitoring system an experiment in the first place? ”

"But now the external area has already been closed," the staff member continued, "and all the electrical appliances have been turned off in accordance with the company's regulations before they left." The monitoring principle of this new system is to monitor that if there is an intruder, once they turn on the computer to check the information in the external area, we will know that even if the other party interferes with our video surveillance system. This system is unknown to others. ”

"So which external area are you talking about?" The black supervisor said solemnly, "Notify the security personnel to check it out immediately!" ”

"It's the public relations department on the fifth floor, but there's no way to determine which office it is, after all, this system is just an experiment, and there aren't many video surveillance systems on the fifth floor."

The black supervisor picked up the phone and said, "You immediately lock all the elevators leading to the fifth floor, and then self-check all the surveillance systems on the fifth floor to prevent anyone from interfering." Then the stairwell was monitored and the patrol team was notified to block all access to the fourth and sixth floors, allowing security personnel to enter the fifth floor for inspection. Let's hope it's just a false positive......" The last sentence of the black supervisor became very quiet.

After Chen Xi charged the electricity for more than ten minutes, the power supply had been charged for more than half of the time, and at this time, Konings's communication request sounded in his helmet, and as soon as he connected it, he heard Konings say in a hurried tone: "Master Chief, did you touch the alarm inside?" Now the guards on the perimeter are all loaded, and the drone has also observed a large number of security personnel in action! ”

"How is that possible?" Chen Xi was surprised, "I've checked the room I'm in, but I didn't see any surveillance alarm system?" ”

"How do I know that!" Conings said hurriedly, "In short, in every way, the other party is shocked!" Be careful! ”

"Understood." Without waiting for the communication to end, Chen Xi withdrew the power cord and disappeared into thin air again. (To be continued.) )
