Chapter 141: Chapter 130: Dora C Dream_2
“Damn, the security gate uses dynamic keycodes… Each vehicle has a different one!”
Lin Xian glimpsed the security gate opening ahead, and after the lead garbage truck entered, the gate closed again. Probes extended from both sides, scanning the second garbage truck.
That must be the “biometric inspection” process CC talked about.
The garbage truck they were in was fifth in line, neither at the front nor the back. But the biometric scan was quick, and during Lin Xian’s observation, the security gate opened again.
It was estimated that their garbage truck would be scanned in one minute!
“How’s the hacking coming along?”
“Still hacking… These dynamic keycodes seem to be related to each vehicle’s number, I need to access the database again.” CC’s forehead was already covered with sweat.
“Doesn’t that mean no progress at all?” Lin Xian was also stunned.
“Stop talking!” CC’s eyes were darting around, busy with the operation.
Another vehicle passed through…
Another vehicle passed through…
Finally, their garbage truck arrived in front of the security gate.
“Got it!” CC called out just in time.
Lin Xian stuck his head out and saw that the probes on both sides seemed to freeze like they were out of power, while the security gate in front of them rose with a roar.
“Good.” Lin Xian gave CC a thumbs up:
“You really live up to the expert title.”
CC also removed the device from his ear, sat up in the cramped space, and looked toward the front of the garbage truck.
Clearly, this passage was only for garbage trucks, with no other vehicles in sight.
After about ten minutes of driving, the space suddenly opened up.
However, this area was still not within the city limits, it was just an open space. There were no superfluous buildings or pedestrians. The garbage trucks were neatly lined up as if waiting for inspection. In the distance, two uniformed workers emerged from a room.
A man and a woman, talking and laughing.
Lin Xian also noticed… Their uniforms were completely different from those of the workers in the Garbage Factory below, much more upscale, and they had guns on their belts.
“There’s a manual inspection too?”
Lin Xian looked at CC:
“Wasn’t that included in your work plan?”
“It seems the management of the exterior garbage field and the inside of the city are two different systems… What do we do now?”
Lin Xian peered out again, observing carefully.
The man and woman were probably in roles similar to “City Entry Inspectors”, chatting while examining each neatly parked garbage truck one by one.
The large lights around brightly illuminated the entire open space as if it were daylight. Even so, both of them were holding a lighting device, flashing intense beams inside the garbage trucks back and forth.
“Looks like there’s no hiding now.”
This was a deviation from Lin Xian’s initial plan.
He had thought he could hitch this ride and go directly to Tem Bank.
But clearly, New Donghai City wasn’t as loosely managed as he had thought… The outer garbage fields were indeed just a façade on the fringe.
“We have to save ourselves.”
Lin Xian looked at the veterinary tranquilizer gun raised by CC and shook his head:
“That thing takes too long to take effect and isn’t lethal… They have real guns, so forget about your toy gun.”
“So what’s your plan?” CC looked at Lin Xian:
“We can’t just sit here and wait to die.”
“We must strike lethally.” Lin Xian touched his neck:
“Here’s the situation now, they have guns, and we can’t escape. They seem to be in a relaxed and frivolous state, probably lacking any sense of crisis… This is our chance to take them by surprise and ambush them.”
“If we succeed, not only can we take their weapons and gear, but we can also wear their uniforms and blend into New Donghai City.”
“And if we fail?” CC looked at Lin Xian, feeling that the plan was still too risky.
“If we fail, we’ll just try again tomorrow, no big deal.” Lin Xian had no sense of tension and looked at CC with a smile:
“Do you have a knife or something like a dagger?”
CC nodded, pulling out a sharp dagger from behind her waist.
“Any more? One probably won’t be enough, there are two of them.”
CC stretched out her hand, untied the red cord in her hair… Her smooth hair, with the scent of camellias wafting through the air, now held a small dagger.
“Are you some kind of Doraemon?”
“Never mind, it’s not important.”
Lin Xian took the regular-sized dagger and gave the smaller one to CC:
“The man always checks from the left side of the vehicle and the woman from the right. We’ll ambush them in the blind spot at the front of the car. I’ll take care of the man, you go for the woman, and make it fast! One deadly strike to the throat!”
CC, without any hesitation, took the dagger and positioned herself in the blind spot at the front of the vehicle.
Lin Xian wasn’t worried about CC in the slightest.
She was a cold-blooded killer, after all. In The First Dreamland, Big Face Cat’s head burst like balloons at a shooting range booth, pop, pop, pop, non-stop.
His own side needed no worrying either.
Though he had done fewer nefarious deeds in Dreamland as he got older… But the skills of being a “Five-Star Good Citizen” in his youth were still intact, both with guns and with a flurry of dagger moves.
“Really? Director Liu has been involved in such affairs…”
“Absolutely. Last time his office door was unlocked, I saw…”
The voices of the male and female City Entry Inspectors grew closer, gossiping joyfully with one another.
Approaching the front of the garbage truck, they split up, one on each side.
Beams of light hopped back and forth as their voices rose, ensuring they could be heard from across the vehicle:
“That wouldn’t look good if it got out, especially since he’s up for promotion.”
“But can you really hide such things… Once one person knows, everyone knows.”
Their voices and the source of the light were now extremely close.
Just around a sharp corner!
The sounds of their mouths and noses being covered!
Lin Xian and CC had been waiting a long time, just for this moment they crossed the line!
They quickly grabbed their necks and slid the daggers viciously across their carotid arteries!
At the same time, they used their right legs to press against their hips to prevent them from drawing their guns!
Two streams of blood sprayed out, hitting the side of the garbage truck and forming a cyberpunk-esque graffiti.
The man in Lin Xian’s arms struggled… but as the blood drained away, he grew weaker and finally, stopped moving.
“What about your side, CC?”
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
The long-lost vibe of a Five-Star Good Citizen of Los Angeles seemed to have returned.
“These people must really have gone slack, never expecting anyone to sneak into New Donghai City.”
“Yeah… after all, no one’s dared to come in for centuries, not to mention there’s a live body detection security gate ahead, which most people can’t get through.”
CC bent down, peering through the gaps in the vehicle at Lin Xian:
“So what’s next? Are we going to dress up in their clothes and blend into New Donghai City?”
Lin Xian took the handgun from the Inspector’s waist, chambered a round with a click, and immediately felt a surge of security.
He turned his head to look at the neon skyscrapers towering into the clouds beyond the wall:
“It’s time… to stir up some trouble.”
