Capítulo 834: Chapter 361: Swapping Tactics

They carried signal detectors and hidden cameras to capture the scenes and search for the vault and database location. However, most of them found nothing, only capturing some unsightly images that could be exposed by the media as intelligence.

Upon receiving the message, they immediately responded: “We haven’t found the vault location yet, we’re cozying up to some wanted criminals and mercenaries to extract information from them.”

Observing the red zones and the mixed blue buoys on the electronic map, the Hacker Brainstorm Team could only advise them: “Proceed with caution, report any anomalies immediately.”

“Understood. We’re working hard to extract usable information.” The technicians are specialized professionals in intelligence gathering, and espionage work comes naturally to them.

But Assad’s vault was so well hidden that those who built it were individually dealt with by him, making it difficult to gather information in a short time.

The Gunman Team also sent a notification: “We’ve met up with that mercenary team! Shots have been fired!”

Allen Zhang also switched the feed to the engagement area, where the scene appeared somewhat chaotic, with gunfire and explosions everywhere. However, since they received the information beforehand and prepared the ambush, the battle ended in just a minute, resulting in a unilateral victory for the Gunman Team.

Although some of them were accidentally injured during the battle, they still managed to take down this tough opponent. Once the gunfire ceased, the Hacker Brainstorm Team immediately inquired about the situation, and the head of the Gunman Team responded: “Fxxk! We’ve got someone injured, but we’ve already bandaged him up. These mercenaries are really difficult! Their response was quick; we almost didn’t manage to wipe them out in one go!”

“They shouldn’t have transmitted any information back, right?” the Hacker Brainstorm Team inquired.

“They wanted to, but we destroyed their communication equipment immediately, and the signal station here has also been taken care of. They have no signal; even if they were prepared, there’s no way they could relay information back. However, this isn’t necessarily good news, because before they came, they had contact with the monitoring room. Suddenly losing communication, those guys aren’t stupid; they’ll definitely strengthen their defenses,” replied a member of the Gunman Team.

“You all continue with your infiltration mission. The technicians will handle these matters,” replied the Hacker Brainstorm Team.

“Understood.” The Gunman Team immediately began to clean up the battlefield.

Things indeed unfolded as they anticipated. The security personnel in the monitoring room had long been dissatisfied with the mercenary team’s actions, waiting for their communication. They actively inquired, but never received a response, and realized something was amiss.

“The other signal station and power station haven’t reported for a long time; could something dangerous have happened?” the security personnel in the monitoring room speculated, somewhat apprehensively.

“I think we should immediately inform General Assad of the current situation!”

“No! If the General learns of this, he’ll surely blame us! If something abnormal has truly occurred, and we haven’t sent someone right away to investigate, the responsibility will fall on us.”

“First, notify the mercenaries in other areas to investigate the situation. If the situation there is true and there’s indeed a disturbance, let them eliminate the culprits and then inform the General. There’s no need to sound the island’s alarms before things get out of control!” the security personnel deliberated.

“Agreed.” The others had no objections to this plan. If they could nip the threat in the bud, even if they bore some responsibility, the General wouldn’t say much. But if things indeed got out of control, their liability would be significant.

Now they could only hope that nothing abnormal was happening, just a simple electromagnetic anomaly or some insolent small-time troublemakers easily dealt with.

They immediately notified the mercenaries in other zones. The mercenary team, which was initially patrolling their area, felt surprised upon receiving the message but said nothing and quickly headed over.

The Hacker Brainstorm Team continuously monitored the map. When they saw several red skull markers leave their zones and head towards the signal and power stations, they immediately informed the Gunman Team, “All personnel in areas 52, 54, and 48, prepare immediately; three mercenary convoys are approaching the current location.”

The Gunman Team, upon receiving the news, glanced at the electronic map, shocked: “So many people are coming? We don’t have the heavy firepower to destroy them; this is like an egg smashing a stone. I request an immediate strategic withdrawal from the current location to conserve our strength.”

“You can totally retreat quickly without engaging in any conflict. Just set traps and roadblocks in the current area to delay them, then bypass and head straight towards their assigned zones to attack their signal and power stations! Their forces are leaving their posts, reducing their defenses; you can execute a base-change tactic!”

The Hacker Brainstorm Team analyzed the situation on the field, realizing it was a good infiltration opportunity, and issued new orders immediately.
