An orange electronic cordon was set up at the end of the corridor, and the sniper team set up a position at the corner in advance.
Four specialists wearing exoskeletons approach the target room from both sides.
"Three, two, one! Up!"
Following Li Xiao's order, the heavily armed team members broke through the door and entered.
Elite specialists from the rapid response department rushed into the presidential suite located on the top floor of the Baiyu Zhilanxuan five-star hotel, only to find that the place was deserted.
"Damn, you ran away?" Luo Chengyan cursed.
"Search the room to see if there are any clues." Li Xiao was a little disappointed, and then reported the situation to Ying Xiaoli, who was in command.
Ying Xiaoli was very surprised to learn that the hotel's operation was in vain. Councilor Ling surrendered to the Security Bureau early in the morning and provided information related to the "Black Dragon". As soon as he received the report, Ying Xiaoli immediately summoned Li
Xiao's team rushed to launch a surprise attack before dawn, thinking that they could capture the target in his sleep, but it turned out to be the opposite.
"Could the news have been leaked?" Li Xiao asked Ying Xiaoli his speculation in the communication.
This is unlikely. Ying Xiaoli knew what was going on, and there was almost no delay in the operation. She made arrangements as soon as she got the information, and she only contacted Yu Zhesen before setting off.
How could Yu Zhesen leak operational intelligence? It's not logical no matter how you think about it.
"Stop making blind guesses, Captain Li. We checked the hotel surveillance and found that the other party left from the underground garage four hours early."
A-level specialist Sun Minghang, who was assigned to Li Xiao's team to supplement manpower, slowly took the elevator up. He was not assigned a surprise mission, so he took the time to investigate the surveillance.
Surveillance showed that Mr. Zhao, who was suspected to be the leader of the "Black Dragon", left the hotel from the underground garage with his men at midnight, without checking out, and even slightly disguised himself when leaving.
Li Xiao and Ying Xiaoli on the other side were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the target left the Baiyu Zhilanxuan Hotel even earlier than they received the information. It was even more unlikely that Yu Zhesen or the team members involved in the operation leaked the information, or
This is a coincidence, or Ling Genshi reported the news from both ends.
"I will contact the Transportation Bureau to help investigate the other party's whereabouts, and you will stay on standby." After Ying Xiaoli said this, she cut off the communication.
She couldn't put all her energy on Li Xiao's journey. Although the plan to raid the hotel failed, the monk could not escape the temple, and the research base located in the underground processing plant in the agricultural area could not be moved away.
While Ying Xiaoli was coordinating and arranging for the transportation bureau to participate in tracing the whereabouts of Mr. Zhao's vehicle, she was also communicating with Shafferman, the leader of the other route.
At this moment, the Shaferman team, with only four combatants, had driven to the entrance of the underground processing plant located in the vast agricultural area in the south of Starzhou City.
They set off immediately after receiving Ying Xiaoli's order and did not wait for Yu Zhesen to join them in the city. On the one hand, they were worried about missing the opportunity to fight, and on the other hand, they also had high confidence in their own strength.
Like Li Xiao's team, they are also elites in the rapid response department. Shaferman's team is also equipped with personally customized versions of exoskeleton armor. The difference is that the overall style of their team's exoskeleton armor is closer to that of Li Xiao's.
Colorful.
The four members of the Shaferman team who arrived at the entrance of the underground processing plant were all painted in bright orange-yellow exoskeleton armor. One team member's armor was burly and thick, and seemed to be a front-row tank responsible for cover. The armor of the other three was similar.
It seems to be the type that focuses on speed and firepower.
"Report to the Arbitrator that we have reached the designated location."
"Has Commissioner Yu Zhesen joined you?" Ying Xiaoli asked with concern in the communication.
"Not yet, we set off early." Shaferman replied, "Considering that Commissioner Yu Zhesen is on vacation and does not have any equipment with him, we think there is no need to wait for him."
"But there are only four of you." Ying Xiaoli was a little annoyed, "The underground processing plant is so big..."
Shafferman interrupted her: "As you said, the underground processing plant is so big, and having one more Commissioner Yu Zhesen is just a drop in the bucket."
Ying Xiaoli was silent. She actually had the ability to mobilize more manpower. The Xingzhou City Security Bureau still had many commissioners who could dispatch. It was not a problem to even mobilize a combined battalion of the National Defense Force, but only people from the rapid response department could
Let her trust you.
Because this operation was not simply a battle between order and crime, but also involved a power struggle at the top of the administration. The success or failure of the operation was related to whether An Zhitian could continue to serve as the director-general, so she did not dare to use ordinary people.
"I have bad news to tell you. The operation at the hotel has come to nothing. The whereabouts of the leaders and cadres of the 'Black Dragon' organization are temporarily unknown." Ying Xiaoli reminded people in the underground processing factory to pay attention to variables, "Our intelligence cannot be ruled out.
The source eats both sides, so please be careful and evacuate immediately and report if something goes wrong.”
"You are overthinking it. Fighting within the scope of Starzhou City, relying on advanced exoskeleton armor and light particle chain transmission system, we are confident that we can deal with enemies several times our own."
After Schefferman finished speaking, he made a gesture to the team members. The burly and heavily armored commissioner rushed to the front, using his arms equipped with multi-barreled machine guns to smash down the entrance gate.
Ying Xiaoli, who heard the gunfire, knew that they had decided to take action without waiting for Yu Zhesen. Although she was worried in the command room, she had no choice but to accept the fate of the foreigner. She could only secretly regret that she should not have stayed behind but should have taken action herself.
According to her usual style in the past, she should have been on site to direct Shaferman's actions, but because this was a two-pronged approach, someone still needed to be in charge of the intermediate coordination.
Ying Xiaoli, who was "trapped" in the command room, could only pray that the Shaferman team would not encounter an accident, or that Yu Zhesen could arrive earlier...
The time of waiting for news is always painful. Ying Xiaoli took off her mask and sighed.
"You look very anxious. Would you like some coffee?" A soft voice asked from the side.
"Okay, less sugar."
Ying Xiaoli turned to face the person who asked the question. She didn't mind exposing her true face in front of the other person at all, because the person who brought her coffee was a bionic mechanical secretary.
"Your name is...Xia Qin, right?" Ying Xiaoli asked casually as she took the coffee.
"Yes, thank you for remembering me. I am the secretary of the general director." Xia Qin answered her politely.
"Your face is the reference person..." Ying Xiaoli murmured in a low voice.
"It's a bit surprising to me. It seems that you became the arbitrator in the past five years, and it has been almost twenty years since that battle."
Ying Xiaoli smiled: "But my memory is very good, and I remember the people and things from twenty years ago clearly."
Xia Qin nodded slightly and did not answer.
"I'm a little curious. Is your virtual personality also based on hers?" Ying Xiaoli asked, "As far as I know, your combat ability is higher than that of an ordinary 'secretary'. It was obtained through AI learning from her battle videos during her lifetime."
Improve it?"
"No, my virtual personality is not based on hers." Xia Qin replied in a serious tone, "But I have a backup personality code that will only be activated under special conditions."
"What special conditions?"
"When the person I protect is in danger," Xia Qin said, "that spare personality code can take my combat ability to another level."
"In that case, you are almost the same as the real her?"
"Of course it is impossible to be equal to the real her. No one can be equal to the real her. You should know that it is a miracle that cannot be copied."
