Chapter 162 Chapter 160 Success and Accident
Zhuang Xuteng and Morgana played their true selves, and Ge Gongdao and Shuitao made wonderful guest appearances. The operation went very smoothly. Both the hook-nosed and the skinny were confused by the plan. They were still thinking about how to cooperate with the PCPD to crack down on the blind gangsters, but they were knocked down by the electric baton, gagged and tied up.
Shuitao took out a metal pen from his arms, put one end against the prisoner's neck, and pressed the button on the other end. With a click, a prisoner would faint, and his body would go limp and lie directly on the ground. They followed the same method and knocked down all seven doormen and security guards, then exhaled and said, "Unless these people have implants that enhance metabolism or detoxification, no matter how good their physique is, they will definitely not wake up within an hour."
Ge Gongdao squinted and looked at them, then stepped on each prisoner and found that they were indeed sleeping soundly. "This stuff is quite useful. How much does it cost to get one?"
"It's an exclusive secret recipe, and I won't let anyone know. Forget it." The otter said, "We have an hour, which is not much. I suggest you act quickly. What do you think?"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "I just noticed the ruts on the ground - thanks to the snow these days, the truck's parking position is very obvious. Here, put on your hood and follow me."
They came to the unloading location. The rolling door in front of them only needed a pair of pliers and a little brute force to open, but they searched for a lot of keys from the captives and the guard post at the door. Just find the matching one. Behind the door was an empty room with some traces of sewage on the ground and several forklifts parked against the wall. Since there are few job opportunities in the frozen fish factory, it is easy to identify which road is often used based on the dust and ruts, and just keep tracking it.
"I feel a little too lax." Engineer Ge frowned. He was always on guard, and the shadow pistol could be fired at any time. "Have you found any cameras?"
"I saw seven, all in shutdown mode, without power." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to the corners of the walls and said.
"I only saw five, not as many as you found, but they are indeed not powered." Morgana scratched her head and said, "What's going on? I really can't understand it."
"I don't know either. So let's search as quickly as possible and leave as soon as we find something." Zhuang Xuteng and his team followed the marks on the ground to a thick metal door with the words "cold storage" written on it. The door was closed with a shadow password lock, which is the kind of lock that inserts a key and then uses a button to enter a password to control the opening and closing.
Zhuang Xuteng looked at the keyhole, and then searched for the corresponding key according to its size, which can save time for matching. At this time, Ge Gongdao patted him and said, "Don't try it in a hurry. I think there is something wrong with this door. Look carefully, there seems to be a secret compartment on the roof. Does it look like it can be opened?"
Following the direction of Ge Gongdao's finger, several people quickly found the special lines hidden in the ceiling. There were four rectangles, 30 centimeters square, and their edges were slightly different from the pattern on the ceiling.
"I roughly guessed what it was." The otter snorted and said, "Brother Dao, help me, I'm going to step on your shoulders to get up."
"Go ahead. I'll hold your ankles and make sure you can stand firmly!"
The otter leaped and stood on the giant's shoulders with the help of Ge Gongdao. At this time, he raised his head and stretched out his hand to touch the ceiling. This is a warehouse, and the ceiling is much higher than that of residential buildings. If it weren't for this, he would have hit the ceiling headfirst as soon as he stepped on it, and there would be no operation behind it.
He pulled out a slender probe from his belt, stretched it into the gap to probe, searched along the edge, and soon found some kind of mechanism. "I'm sure this is a linked flap, which is a kind of trap. I guess if you open the wrong door, it will be triggered, the flap will open, and something will fall out from inside."
"Can you tell what it is?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.
"Most of these traps use grenades. Those with a conscience use stun grenades, and those without a conscience use high-explosive bombs. By the way, did you notice some small pits on the ground before? I bet ten euros that there must be high-explosive bombs in them."
"Can it be dismantled?"
"Completely dismantled? There is no such possibility, unless the walls are dismantled and the wires buried in the pipes are found. And this kind of trap has anti-dismantling insurance. You can either guess the correct door opening password or guess the correct dismantling method, and the probability is the same. Relatively speaking, the password is safer." Otter licked his lips and said, "But I can try to jam the mechanism and prevent the flap from opening."
Morgana looked up at the ceiling and said, "If the grenade can't come out, it will explode inside, right? Wouldn't it be more dangerous?"
"It's better than falling out and exploding." Otter said, "The key question now is: who of you can unlock the combination lock?"
Zhuang Xuteng looked at Ge Gongdao, then at Morgana, and both shrugged. Otter also said he didn't know how to do it, so Zhuang Xuteng said, "Let me try. You first block the flap and then stay away."
"You can do this?" Dao Ge was shocked.
"Some basic principles can be used, such as the distribution of dust on the button surface, the feedback force when the button is pressed, etc., which will be different depending on whether it is used frequently." Zhuang Xuteng said, "The defense here is quite lax, but the grenades are arranged very carefully, so the password will not be too complicated - you must want a short password that is easy to remember, so as not to lose your life by pressing the wrong one, right?"
The truth is this, but the risk will not be reduced just because the truth is correct. Otter tried his best to jam the mechanical structure of the flap with a probe, and then he and the other two people stayed away and watched Zhuang Xuteng operate. They saw Zhuang Xuteng find a key, insert it into the hole and test the length, then slowly touch the button and press it tentatively.
"I've never seen anyone open a combination lock like this." Otter put his palm on his face and said, "I once had a partner who opened his face, put his tentacles in, and then sparks popped out, so he could open the lock."
"That's an electromagnetic probe implant. Your friend is of good quality and can control that kind of implant." Morgana was very worried about Zhuang Xuteng, so she said to Ge Gongdao: "Brother Dao, we didn't find any other entrance or exit. Isn’t it appropriate to directly confront the grenade gate?”
"In order to reduce heat exchange, the cold storage has no windows and very few entrances and exits, or most of them only have one. Naike must have understood this and not wasted time."
"It seems like the mission is a little rushed." Morgana said.
"This mission is designated by the client. Naike and I are the core and must participate. We thank the client for his trust, but this is not the norm for mercenaries." Brother Dao explained to Morgana very patiently. He saw Morgana attaches extraordinary importance to Zhuang Xuteng and is likely to come to him whenever something happens. While this kind of attention is beneficial in terms of income, it is problematic in other aspects.
"The reason why there is an intermediary is because the intermediary can coordinate mission resources. The intermediary uses its own intelligence channels to conduct investigations, and its intelligence officer configuration is much better than our mercenaries. What may be encountered and what kind of tools and talents are needed, How to invest resources and allocate income is controlled by the middleman, and the mercenary can act more easily. In a situation like this, if he can't guess the password, we have to bite the bullet. You have to find a way to tear down the wall..."
Morgana scratched her head gently and said, "This client is really ignorant, isn't he?"
Ge Gongdao would not jump into the trap. He said: "This kind of thing has its pros and cons. Named commissions generally earn more, but you have to be capable to earn that money. This is a test. Stop talking, Naike started to guess the password, he pressed it, pressed it! Eh? The door opened..."
The three people hiding in the corner all opened their mouths and stared dumbly at the cold storage door that slowly opened. Next, they rushed to Zhuang Xuteng together and asked him how he did it.
"I have a keen sense of touch and can tell which buttons are smooth and smooth when used frequently, and which buttons are dry and dry here due to exposure to wind and sun - the thickness of the dust on them can also help me. So, I have a possible Number selection range.”
"Yes, yes!" Morgana said: "But you don't know the length of the password, the order of the numbers, and the number of repetitions. Even if it only has one number, 6, then you don't know whether it is 6 or 666!"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and then said: "What you said makes sense, so I looked for the key and found that there was tape on the key with numbers written on it. The string of numbers matched the range of numbers I found, so I followed them Enter it and turn the key. Hey, the door will open."
Snap, Otter covered his head, with an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Gongdao and Morgana were not much better. They lowered their heads and looked at the key next to the combination lock. When they saw the string of numbers protected by transparent tape, they could only sigh that this place was so weird that it completely exceeded their imagination.
"Okay, let's go in." Brother Dao waved his hand and said, "Take the key and hurry in and out. I can already feel the air conditioning, let's not waste time inside."
Zhuang Xuteng nodded. Of course he felt lucky to find the password directly, but he was not without means besides being lucky. He had been thinking of countermeasures since he saw the code lock. If it didn't work, he would drain the energy of the shadow slave so that the code mechanism could not issue any instructions, and then use the vehicle here to hit the wall. It is a masonry wall anyway, and as long as there is no reinforced concrete interlayer, there is a chance of crashing into it.
"Naike, come here and do me a favor and push this forklift over." Ge Gongdao greeted Zhuang Xuteng. "We use it to jam the door, lest the timed automatic closing mechanism traps us in again."
"Brother Dao, you are very thoughtful! I was just about to say that." Otter smiled and was the first to step through the cold storage door and walked in.
