February 14th, a special day.
If one's boyfriend or husband didn't pick up their phone on this day, then a big problem would occur.
Shi Lei was currently dealing with a big problem, and he had already dealt with one of the snipers.
Since Izur couldn't confirm the number of snipers, after the second-generation Fearless Land Combat System killed Sniper No. 1, Izur controlled it to continue searching upwards.
Izur's logical analysis method was a little different from ordinary humans. Izur was a program, and the 36 floors of Jinli Building were equivalent to 36 mission areas for Izur.
No matter what happened in the first 35 areas, the 36th area was a brand new area for Izur and wouldn't be affected by the previous areas.
Therefore, even though he had already dealt with a sniper on the 35th floor and had only been attacked by one sniper just now, Izur still controlled the Fearless Land Combat System to continue searching upwards.
Shi Lei checked the damage to the second-generation Fearless Land Combat System on the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens-type information processor.
The second-generation Fearless Land Combat System used a modular design.
Although the modular design had its shortcomings, there was a huge advantage to the modular design — it was easy to replace damaged parts.
The second-generation Fearless Land Combat System had just endured a close-range attack from a 12.7mm anti-material sniper rifle. Under normal circumstances, even 150mm-200mm armor wouldn't be able to block an anti-material sniper rifle attack.
However, the second-generation Fearless Land Combat System's armor had been transplanted with the second-generation The First Light's armor system. It used a combination of super alloy and ceramics to greatly increase its defense.
Even a 12.7mm anti-material sniper rifle firing at a distance of less than ten meters still couldn't break through the second-generation Fearless Land Combat System's defense.
Oh, it's actually 62% damaged. If there's another attack, the Fearless's defense will be broken. If we're lucky, we can still fight.
If we're unlucky, we'll definitely be scrapped, Shi Lei analyzed the situation.
"Izur, control the Fearless carefully to prevent the damaged parts from suffering the same attack again," Shi Lei reminded Izur.
"Yes, sir," Izur replied coldly and emotionlessly.
…
Rewind time a bit. Outside the Twin Lakes Region, in the Northern Jade Region's Quiet Peace Forest.
This was the central station of Shuangqing City's power grid system. Most of Shuangqing City's electricity needed to be distributed and processed here.
Usually, Jing Anlin was surrounded by barbed wire fences, and there were also warning signs of high voltage electricity. There were no signs of human activity at all.
However, in the wee hours of the night, Jing An Lin was bustling with activity.
The engineers and technicians of Shuangqing City's power grid were all surveying the scene. There were also a large number of police officers, armed police officers, and special agents of the National Security Bureau protecting Jing Anlin.
Jing Anlin's pressure conversion control station had been attacked by as many as eight individual rocket launchers. These eight individual rocket launchers had destroyed close to forty percent of the pressure conversion equipment in the control station. Repairing the pressure conversion control station was going to be a very difficult task.
The chief of the Shuangqing City Police Department, Bai Qiang, personally came to the scene. He was communicating with the person in charge of the power grid system.
The person in charge of Shuangqing City's power grid system was called Zuo Zhengyou. It was an interesting name.
Zuo Zhengyou looked like he was in his forties, but in reality, he was already 55 years old.
During work, Zuo Zhengyou always had a kind expression on his face. However, Zuo Zhengyou's heart was very sinister.
However, at this moment, Zuo Zhengyou asked anxiously, "Chief Bai, have you caught the suspect who blew up the power grid?"
Bai Qiang shook his head. "Chief Zuo, we don't have any leads on the suspect at the moment."
Zuo Zhengyou couldn't help but complain, "Chief Bai, your headquarters is in the Beiyu District. Can't you catch the suspect?"
"Hmph!"
Bai Qiang and Zuo Zhengyou weren't familiar with each other, and they didn't have any friendship. Facing Zuo Zhengyou's complaint and faint criticism, Bai Qiang sneered. "Chief Zuo, Shuangqing City is currently in a blackout. Moreover, it's late at night. We don't have any surveillance records, and we don't have any smooth traffic conditions. How are we going to track down the suspect?"
Zuo Zhengyou noticed Bai Qiang's displeasure. He quickly smiled apologetically. "Chief Bai, that's not what I meant. I meant that if we catch the suspect, our responsibilities will be lighter."
The power grid's central station was attacked by a rocket launcher, and it was recorded by the security monitoring system. Although there was a blackout and they couldn't retrieve the relevant records, the records were still saved. They could be checked when the power was restored.
Zuo Zhengyou's meaning was clear. The power grid's central station and sub-station were attacked by a rocket launcher, causing a large-scale blackout in Shuangqing City. Zuo Zhengyou was indeed responsible for it.
But as the Chief of Police, how could Bai Qiang escape responsibility?
Zuo Zhengyou's meaning was for Bai Qiang to think of a way to get a suspect. Regardless of whether he was a suspect or not, their responsibilities would be reduced after he was charged.
Bai Qiang sneered in his heart. How could he do such a thing?
If this matter was exposed, Bai Qiang would replace Zuo Zhengyou as the person responsible. After all, Bai Qiang wasn't a fool!
"Chief Zuo, please rest assured. We will do our best to catch the suspect as soon as possible." Bai Qiang spoke in an official tone.
Zuo Zhengyou was filled with hatred in his heart, but on the surface, he was grateful. "Thank you, Chief Bai. I'll leave everything to you!"
After that, Zuo Zhengyou excused himself, "Chief Bai, I would like to ask about the maintenance progress. Please excuse me."
Bai Qiang nodded and didn't say a word.
Although Zuo Zhengyou was the head of the power grid system, his position was not as high as Bai Qiang's.
Zuo Zhengyou walked into the command center of the power grid system and asked in a serious tone, "How long will it take to completely repair the central station?"
The engineers and technical experts of the power grid system all lowered their heads and didn't say a word.
"What's wrong?
Are all of you mute?
Can anyone tell me how long it will take? "Zuo Zhengyou asked fiercely, showing off his authority.
One of the old experts with glasses said, "We have urgently repaired a part of the circuit and prioritized the power supply of government departments, hospitals, schools, and public transportation.
Currently, the power supply of the train station and the airport has returned to normal.
Next, we will further restore the power supply for civilian use in some areas. "
"What a load of nonsense!
I'm asking when will the power supply in Shuangqing City be restored? "Zuo Zhengyou roared angrily.
The old expert pushed his glasses. "If we work 24/7, it will take about three to four days.
However, we don't have enough transformer equipment in stock to meet the needs of the central station and all the sub-stations. "
"If it's not enough, then buy it!"
Zuo Zhengyou snorted coldly. "I'll give you three days. After three days, the power supply in the entire Shuangqing City must be restored!"
This time, the hacker alliance of Voisin, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries had indeed gone a little overboard. Their actions could no longer be classified as a hacker invasion, but as a terrorist attack.
It was just like the attack on the World Trade Center in Lijian Province. Although the losses in Shuangqing City weren't that serious, it was indeed a terrorist attack.
The Shuangqing City government was furious. They directly reported this matter to the higher-ups, hoping that the higher-ups could make a stronger decision.
However, Xia Xia's higher-ups seemed to intend to deal with it coldly. They didn't respond to Shuangqing City too much. Instead, they instructed Shuangqing City to deal with the power outage as soon as possible to ensure that no riots would occur.
As for whether Xia Xia's higher-ups would protest to the countries, it was still unknown for the time being.
Shuanghu District, McKinley Building.
Izur controlled the second-generation Fearless Land Combat System and went up to the 36th floor.
Snipers No. 2 and No. 3 were originally on the 36th floor. When they heard the situation on the 35th floor, they contacted No. 1 through their radio headsets. After No. 1 didn't respond, No. 2 and No. 3 gave up on the 36th floor and went to the rooftop.
They hoped to use the rapid descent equipment on the rooftop to escape.
Although it was easy to be attacked by aerial forces on the rooftop, they wore anti-infrared thermal detection combat suits. They were full of confidence that they could deceive aerial forces.
Unfortunately, they didn't know the detection plan of Steel Hao Ren and Shadow Dragon. Steel Hao Ren and Shadow Dragon not only had infrared thermal detectors, but also night vision detection systems.
When No. 2 and No. 3 snipers came to the rooftop, two Steel Hao Ren were waiting for them.
Steel Hao Ren's external loudspeaker played Japanese and English, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender in order to have a chance to save their lives.
However, the two snipers actually chose to commit suicide without hesitation!
They bit through the cyanide poison sacs in their mouths and died in just a few seconds. There was no way to reverse the situation.
Even if the Golden Immortals of the Xianxia world descended to the mortal world, they probably wouldn't be able to stop this vicious chemical poison.
Shi Lei watched the two snipers die through Steel Hao Ren's night vision detection system. He was in a bad mood.
This wasn't because Shi Lei was kind and couldn't bear to see the enemy die, but because he couldn't capture them alive and couldn't get more information, which made Shi Lei unhappy.
Shuanghu District, in an unknown residential area.
A man was operating a laptop when suddenly, a notification appeared on the laptop screen.
Beside this man, there was another man. He looked at the notification on the screen and chuckled. "Three snipers dead!"
"It doesn't matter. They were abandoned in the first place!
What surprised me was that they actually destroyed a drone. At least they made use of trash and created a little value, "the man operating the laptop replied.
"When do we move?" the man from before asked.
The man operating the laptop shook his head slightly. "Don't worry. It's not the time yet. Our goal isn't that simple!"
