After confirming that the sniper drones around had been completely silenced, Xia Xu, who was still worried, continued to sweep the surroundings with a jammer gun for a few rounds, and then everyone came out of the bunker one after another.
Without him saying much, personnel from the special operations team and logistics department rushed to various locations and quickly collected the sniping equipment.
It is indeed a drone very similar to the one we saw last time in the hospital, but this type of drone is also equipped with spider-like claws underneath, probably a modification made to fix the fuselage to offset the recoil.
After all, high-powered ammunition will naturally bring stronger recoil, and long-range sniping also requires higher accuracy and stability.
"Let's play a game. Guess how long it will take me to find you?"
Xia Xu took a well-preserved drone from Zhang Qun and his friends who had returned, broke off the gun barrel in front of it, then lifted up the fuselage and faced the camera with a calm expression.
If Duan Zhiyi's killing only made him feel guilty and morally guilty because of his involvement in the plot, then the sniper shot that almost injured Xiao Baihua just now was what really aroused his own anger.
"It's interesting, but I prefer to be the one who makes the rules."
The communication frequency bands for various functions of the drone are not the same. What he just interfered with was only the control frequency band of the drone. If Duan Zhiyi had not actively intercepted it, the video footage could still be transmitted continuously.
At this moment, the other end of the drone obviously successfully received the picture, and unexpectedly but somewhat reasonable, the drone was actually equipped with a miniature speaker.
A processed, teasing electronic synthesized voice came out: "Let's change the game, for example... guess when I can kill you, oh, and ~ the little girl behind you."
"Boss, the connection is broken."
As soon as he finished speaking, a helpless voice came from Meng Bochao, who was hidden by Xia Xu's back.
Although Xia Xu's words just now were influenced by his own anger, they were actually also meant to delay time.
Long before Zhang Qun and his team went to search for drones, he had already done some ideological work on Meng Bochao, allowing him to calm down quickly and try to access the control network of those drones.
Perhaps because they had never encountered it before, the possibility of communication warfare did not seem to be specifically considered during the design, or perhaps the engineers' professional habits and professionalism were subconsciously playing tricks.
Although Duan Zhiyi's drones have taken many encryption and anti-tracking measures, they are particularly compliant with regulations in their use of communication frequency bands.
This is also the reason why Xia Xu’s interference gun could easily kill with one strike.
If Duan Zhiyi had not used the standardized public frequency band, the most he could have done was to interfere with the satellite navigation signal used to confirm spatial coordinates. Although this could also have a blocking effect, the effect would not be as direct as before.
But it's a pity that Duan Zhiyi was much more cautious than imagined. Even when he spoke to delay time, the other party cut off the communication network without any nonsense.
If he hadn't said anything, the connection would have been cut off even faster. After all, the reason why it wasn't cut off before was probably because they were observing the personnel of the special department. After the drones were recovered and gathered together, in order to prevent reverse tracking, Duan Zhiyi, if he wasn't stupid, would have taken the initiative to cut off the communication network.
"Nothing gained?"
Xia Xu frowned and turned to walk towards Meng Bochao.
“It’s too short a time.”
Meng Bochao, who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking up and operating his laptop, struggled to get up helplessly and sat cross-legged.
"That's troublesome."
Xia Xu frowned.
Although Meng Bochao's skills should not leave any traces when attempting to invade, the use of the jammer gun just now has already alerted the enemy.
Even if it is just to prevent interference, Duan Zhiyi will inevitably add various anti-interference measures to his drone in the future, or at least change the communication frequency band.
If we miss this opportunity to catch him off guard, the difficulty of attempting a reverse invasion next time will inevitably increase exponentially.
The final result will probably be as he expected. The two sides will be dragged into a tug-of-war over communication technology, and when to cease fire and withdraw will be entirely decided by the other side.
Now the authorities have no evidence to prove that Duan Zhiyi is the murderer behind the scenes. If Duan Zhiyi gives up killing and forcing the Yunfan Group, he can just stop and "return to the country" openly.
"I've already said that the killer's drones are elusive and can be cut off at any time. It's impossible to locate the intruder with just this brief contact."
Deputy Team Leader Liu from the logistics team probably heard the discussion between Xia Xu and the others, and walked over while speaking.
But he didn't mean to make sarcastic remarks, instead he said: "But we have actually found some other clues. A large part of the components of these drones are produced by Spot Industries.
We have contacted their group branch in Xia Country. Once they reply, we should be able to locate Duan Zhiyi's approximate location through the component number and sales channel.
So you are no longer needed in this matter. Besides, you have experienced the danger firsthand, so you should go back quickly."
The image presented by the special department's logistics team today was indeed a bit disappointing.
However, there is a very realistic point. This is not a problem of their ability, but a problem of time. After all, only one day has passed since they received the news.
From the time they received the report early yesterday morning to the current series of arrangements and intelligence gathering, their work efficiency has actually been amazing.
Unfortunately, many things require time to prepare and plan, and are not dependent on personal ability and will.
"Team Leader Liu, it's no longer a question of whether or not I choose to participate."
Xia Xu, who heard a hint of kindness in the cold words, had a slightly changed opinion of Deputy Team Leader Liu, but still shook his head.
As he said, it's no longer just a question of whether he wants to get involved.
If he was just a talkative spectator before, now he has been completely involved in the game.
He had just shown his face to Duan Zhiyi, so Duan Zhiyi would definitely not let him go so easily. Could it be that he thought the hunting game Duan Zhiyi just mentioned was a joke
What's more... he wasn't joking just now.
Now it is not a question of whether Duan Zhiyi is willing to give up, but whether he is willing to let Duan Zhiyi go.
Duan Zhiyi has completely aroused his anger and fear. If this potential threat is not resolved, he will always have a thorn in his heart and many concerns.
He himself might not be afraid of being attacked, but what about Xiao Baihua? What about Meng Bochao and the others
What's more, with his current strength, he might be able to detect the shooting action in advance and dodge the guns in his field of vision, but he has no good way to deal with long-range snipers outside his field of vision.
The speed of any firearm bullet can easily exceed the speed of sound. If you try to dodge simply by listening to the sound, you'll probably be dead before you even make an evasive move.
It is true that Atuo might be able to react in time to block the gun or push him away, but who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes
He didn't think that he would be able to travel to a parallel world again after his death. Even if there was, it was not what he wanted. After all, he already had many inseparable ties here.
So, in this case, all we can do is ask this potential threat to die.
There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as being on guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Even if the special department or even Meng Bochao and others cannot track Duan Zhiyi, it does not mean that he has no way out.
The most basic one is the plot of "The Thrower". As long as you follow this plot line, Duan Zhiyi, as the villain BOSS, will always show up one day.
If you want to do it faster, you can use Yunfan Group and Pan Long, Duan Zhiyi's 'beloved' son, etc. Although it will also take some time, Duan Zhiyi will be forced out sooner or later.
"Then... let the game begin!"
A cold look appeared in Xia Xu's eyes.
"that… "
Just when Xia Xu was getting angry, someone suddenly raised his hand and said weakly: "I, I think I found him."
"???"
