Chapter 859 Temporary Strategic Commander, Lao Hei
MacLaren's hands fly across the keyboard. Although his technical level is slightly inferior to that of Lao Hei, looking around the world, there are only a handful of people who can surpass him.
Baijiu can accomplish many incredible tasks thanks to the help of these two capable men.
The three complement each other's strengths and form an indestructible iron triangle.
"No problem..." McCarran successfully hacked into the airport ticketing system. "Flight 1031 to Venice. Wait a moment, I'll conjure up a ticket for you right away!"
Baijiu always kept a safe distance from the man who was suspected to be the buyer, and his every move was under his close surveillance.
Suddenly, a young man who was in a hurry to catch a flight passed by him, and his speed was so fast that he almost knocked Baijiu's sunglasses off.
If Baijiu's core strength was not extremely stable and his lower body was not solid, he would have been knocked down by the sudden collision and even been swept into the crowded crowd.
But Baijiu did not doubt the young man.
The other party really seemed to be madly rushing to catch a flight.
Moreover, if the intention is to install a tracking or listening device on Baijiu.
The miniature anti-reconnaissance system he carries with him will immediately sound an alarm and issue a prompt through the bone conduction headphones.
Of course, most of the time you don’t need a machine at all—
Baijiu's eyes, which have been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations and are comparable to the most sophisticated humanoid capture devices, are capable of detecting most subtle abnormalities.
"Hmm?" Gradually, Baijiu realized that something was wrong.
The digital border showing the key distance on the AR glasses was rapidly weakening and becoming blurred, and the light spot representing the signal source completely disappeared from the man's body!
"What?" Baijiu shook his head, trying to refocus.
Although his attention was briefly drawn to the young man, his peripheral vision was always fixed on the target man.
However, the reality is so absurd - the signal of the key completely disappeared from the man as if it had evaporated!
It feels like you have a dog, but when you turn around to get some dog food, you find that it has turned into a cat!
And you clearly remember hearing a few dog barking when you turned around.
"What's going on?" Baijiu was extremely decisive. He turned around immediately and swept his sharp eyes like a searchlight at the dense crowd behind him.
as predicted!
The signal source representing the key is now clearly attached to another figure—
A tall, slender woman with a charming gait. The distance between them was rapidly widening, but the woman walked calmly, as if nothing had happened, as natural as an ordinary passenger.
"Baijiu, what happened?" Lao Hei keenly captured the subtle changes in Baijiu's breathing rhythm through the headphones.
"He was hit by someone." Baijiu answered calmly, his eyes fixed on the woman's back.
That slender yet powerful figure, the rhythmic steps with a certain unique habit... made him feel inexplicably familiar, like an "old friend".
"Hit?" On the other side, Lao Hei tried hard to understand this overly abstract word.
After some quick thought, he chose the most direct approach: "What do you mean by being 'bumped' by someone?"
This statement is so vague that it is confusing.
"That woman is a pickpocket, an expert." Baijiu quickened his pace and approached the woman quickly. "Keep an eye on her and tell me her identity information immediately."
"Got it." Lao Hei immediately took action.
On the side, McCarran was waiting for the system to generate the plane ticket, when suddenly, a glaring red exclamation mark alert popped up at the bottom of the computer screen again!
He frowned and clicked on it with confusion and a hint of foreboding.
The message that popped up in front of him made his eyes widen instantly. He swallowed several times subconsciously, and his right hand holding the mouse began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
His voice trembled, and he lowered the tone to an extremely low level so that only Lao Hei beside him could hear it: "Lao Hei, turn off the intercom, quickly!"
Lao Hei immediately noticed the extreme seriousness in Macallan's tone, and without any hesitation, he decisively cut off the microphone communication with Baijiu.
"What's wrong?" Lao Hei stared at McAllen. He would only show this expression when he encountered a truly critical situation.
"That bag... is from Flight 1031!" McCarron spoke very quickly, as if he would be swallowed up by invisible danger if he spoke slowly.
"What bag?" Lao Hei was confused by this nonsensical question.
"Oh no!" McAllen impatiently turned the computer screen towards Lao Hei. The interface with the constantly flashing red alert instantly filled Lao Hei's vision. "It was just a few minutes ago! That highest security alert that suddenly appeared and disappeared! That suspicious package!"
He stated rapidly, "It was on the cargo conveyor belt, being transported to Flight 1031! The one to Venice! The flight the buyer was going to take!"
He deliberately emphasized his tone: "That is... the plane that Baijiu will board soon!"
"Lao Hei, did you get it? Who is that woman?"
When Baijiu saw that there was no response from Laohei in the headset, he suspected that the other party had not received his previous instructions.
Based on previous efficiency, Lao Hei's intelligence should have been reported clearly by now.
He still followed the woman closely, making sure not to alert her, waiting for the best opportunity to strike and take the key back.
However, he didn't know that the two people in the command room were unable to respond to his call because they had turned off their microphones.
"What if... the alarm just now was not a false alarm?" McAllen showed an extremely bad expression on his face and put forward a bold but terrible hypothesis.
He continued to list the possibilities, trying to convince Blackie: "What if someone... wanted to place a bomb on that plane?"
His words were filled with extreme concern for the safety of Baijiu's life.
Old Black was not immediately carried away by McAllen's panic. He forced himself to remain absolutely rational and stated another possibility: "There is another possibility..."
"That's what the 'Intelligent Body' deliberately wants us to think. All of its actions are ultimately aimed at preventing Baijiu from boarding that plane and reaching Key's final destination."
"Lao Hei, what happened?" Baijiu's voice came from the headset again, with a hint of imperceptible urging.
Although the one-way communication cut off his voice, they could still hear the voice from Baijiu's end.
"Should we tell him?" McAllen asked Lao Hei anxiously, seeking instructions.
Unconsciously, Lao Hei began to take on the role of team leader.
"Don't talk about it for now." Lao Hei's brows were twisted into a knot, and his brain was overloaded at the moment.
He is very likely standing at a true crossroads of fate. Every choice he makes is crucial, affecting the three of them and even the direction of a more far-reaching situation.
For some reason, under this extreme pressure, he actually felt a sense of admiration for baijiu.
I admire his decisiveness in facing such important decisions. How strong a heart and courage does this require?
Lao Hei may be an excellent hacker with top-notch skills.
But as an on-site commander who needs to make important decisions in a rapidly changing environment, he has to admit that compared to Baijiu, he still seems a little... immature.
