Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 128: 127 Major Mob Shooting and Counterattack Case!
Looking at the dozen or so fast-moving red dots marked in the bird's-eye view on the screen, Wei Jiang raised his head and glanced to the right of the car window.

A figure is approaching quietly from more than ten meters away!
"Turn off all lights in the service area, quick!"

"Paralyze the monitoring system!"

As Wei Jiang's voice fell, the power of the electronic equipment controlled by Red Star in the service area surged. In just two seconds, all the lights in the service area went out.

Except for some vehicle lighting or independent lighting equipment, most of the service area was plunged into darkness.

The sudden power outage caused the staff on duty in the service area and tourists using public facilities to become restless.

"What's the matter?"

"Why is there a power outage?"

"Ouch, it's so dark in the bathroom."

The light inside the Wuling car was restrained and did not penetrate out of the window.

"Red Star, it's up to you. I'm not needed in this situation."

"receive."

The power outage came suddenly, making the dozen or so people who got out of the car with their hands tucked into their clothes nervous.

"The surveillance camera is out of power and cannot function. The mission continues."

The voice coming from the headset helped the group calm down.

After all, there were only a few people who were still outside at night, and the power outage did not affect the tourists who had already gone to bed.

"The power outage gives us a chance."

"Hurry up! Don't let that guy get away."

A tall man with a short beard whispered instructions in English to the others.

After being urged, the group of people moved quickly, and the mini-mobility vehicle that the target of the mission was riding in was right in front of them.

Amid the shadows, the avocado green car body was still clearly visible in the darkness.

The encirclement formed by a dozen people became smaller and smaller, and the distance to the target was shortened to less than 10 meters.

"what is that?"

A sentence in English with a thick daily accent came out, and someone in the darkness noticed something slowly rising from the rear of the micro scooter.

The thing was nearly 3 meters long, winding and twisting, like a hemp rope or a chain.

"Huh, pretending to be a ghost!"

"Don't be affected, quickly take control of the vehicle and the mission target!"

"We have limited time. We don't have much time to evacuate!"

As the bearded man said, there were more than a dozen people gathered in the parking lot, which attracted the curious attention of some night owls and ordinary tourists.

Not far away, some ordinary tourists were already sticking their heads out of their cars and looking over here.

Hearing the urging of the bearded man who was in charge of the task, a dozen people moved faster.

Taking a step closer, the mini scooter was within reach, and the black shadow rising from the rear of the scooter finally revealed its true face.

"Ah~ What is this?"

Holding pistols pulled out from their pockets, several men looked up in a daze at the snake-like mechanical arm and the metal muzzle at the end of the mechanical arm that began to flash red light.

There were more than a dozen people, some were stunned by the scene, but more people remained firm in their determination.

"Don't be stunned!"

"Shoot and attack!"

The bearded man, as the person in charge, reacted the fastest. He stared at the robotic arm rising into the air with wide eyes and moved quickly with his hands.

piu～piu～piu～

The pistol with a silencer pre-installed kept firing!
He could see sparks flying from the two robotic arms at the rear of the mobility scooter.

"Paul! Take a few people to the front of the car and quickly control the mission target!"

"Once we catch him, we'll retreat!"

After receiving the signal from the bearded man, a brown-haired man in a plaid jacket and two other men immediately leaned over to the driver's door of the car.

Looking at what was happening outside through the car window, he could clearly hear the sound of bullets hitting the car body and the robotic arm hardware.

He could even see the blue anti-epidemic masks on the faces of the three men who were leaning over and running towards him.

"Attack, and quickly deal with these people."

"There's another car at the exit of the service area ramp. Don't let it go."

After receiving Wei Jiang's attack order, Red Star acted very quickly.

Red light flashed outside the car window, and the dense laser beams irradiated the roof as if fireworks were being ignited, but there was no sound.

Seeing with his own eyes the three people who were very close to him outside the car door falling to the ground one after another, Wei Jiang's eyes were extremely cold.

When the bearded man Aaron saw a flash of red light in his vision, he had a bad feeling.

The pistol shooting of their group did not affect the rapid rotation of the mechanical arm rising from the rear of the mobility scooter.

Every time the red light flashed, someone around him would fall down.

In just one second, several companions around him lay down without making any sound.

"withdraw"

Before the order to retreat was finished, a red light flashed in the bearded man Aaron's eyes, and boundless darkness invaded his vision, and his mind froze at that moment.

"run!"

When they realized that everything was going wrong, some people wanted to escape, but before they could take a step, they fell to the ground.

More than a dozen well-trained elite soldiers turned into warm corpses in a few seconds.

There was a sound coming from the Bluetooth headset inserted in the ear canal, but there was no response.

"what happened?!"

"Has the mission objective been controlled?"

"Got it, please reply! Reply quickly!"

On the screen, the red dots marked by the red stars quickly disappeared, and the living lives fell to the ground and fell into the longest sleep without even having time to utter a scream.

"Cleaned up."

Hong Xing's voice fell, and Wei Jiang nodded slightly.

Several terrified faces appeared on the screen, and some ordinary tourists felt incredible about what was happening before their eyes.

"There's a gunfight!"

"Someone died!"

"Ah! Call the police!"

"Help!"

The shrill screams and cries woke up the service area, and the tourists who were resting were woken up. They looked at their friends who were crying in fear and asked in confusion.

"time to go."

The Wuling truck drove out of the parking space and drove onto the ramp out of the service area without any hesitation.

When passing the ramp, Wei Jiang saw flames coming out of a white SUV on the right.

When the laser gun penetrated the car body and killed the attacker inside, the high temperature ignited the flammable items inside the car.

"All surveillance videos from the service area over the past 12 hours have been deleted."

"All electronic devices in the parking lot have been formatted, shut down and locked."

"In the next 24 hours, the license plate of this vehicle will be changed several times."

The two robotic arms were retracted. After listening to Hong Xing's report, Wei Jiang's expression remained calm.

He and Red Star were prepared for everything that just happened.

Wei Jiang was not worried about having a conflict with the other party in public.

Backed by Red Star’s powerful digital control capabilities, Wei Jiang confirmed that no electronic records would be left except for what was seen by the naked eyes of individual ordinary tourists.

This also requires considering that Wei Jiang is now wearing tightly covered attire, including a baseball cap, mask, and sweatshirt.

When Wuling drove off to the next area to explore data collection points, the charging and power restoration service area fell into chaos.

Shooting incident!

The most important thing is that all this happened in public.

Both ordinary tourists and security personnel stationed in the service area were shocked beyond words.

There has never been such a vicious fight! "Why can't I turn on my phone?"

"Call the police!"

“Mine won’t open either!”

"My train's computer crashed! What's going on?"

The scene was in chaos. Seeing the dozen or so bodies lying on the ground in the parking lot, some tourists were so scared that their legs went limp.

"Get in the car, let's get out of here."

"hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go, we can't watch this excitement."

Some alert tourists asked their relatives and friends to quickly get in the car, started the engine and drove away from the service area. They just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

The remaining tourists who did not have time to evacuate just wanted to run away from the parking lot, and a group of people hid in the service area building or convenience store.

More than ten minutes later, law enforcement officers found a landline in the service area office and finally dialed 110 to report the incident.
-
The Wuling was driving fast, and when the vehicle stopped again a few hours later, the sky was turning pale and a new day had arrived.

After this night, some people could no longer see the sun rising in the sky, but this did not affect the tourists in other vehicles next to the Wuling who got out of the car and looked for public toilets to urinate.

He changed his clothes, got out of the car wearing a mask, and plugged the high-voltage charging gun into the Wuling car.

Wei Jiang walked into a convenience store and bought some milk, bread and snacks, which was his breakfast.

When I returned to the Wuling car, the tourists next to me were yawning and stretching, looking tired, smoking and chatting, and the scene was peaceful and calm.

Wei Jiang listened attentively. The tourists were chatting about their daily lives, and no one mentioned the vicious gun battle that took place hundreds of kilometers away.

After returning to the car and slowly eating the bread and washing down the chewed food with milk, Wei Jiang looked at the red translucent panel in front of him and said:
"Panel, repair."

The blue arc of light flashed by without attracting anyone's attention. Even if someone noticed the light, they would only think it was dizziness caused by their poor mental state.

On the Wuling strengthening panel, Wei Jiang saw no changes in the strengthening task.

He only got the answer when he asked Red Star.

"The information collected in the western part of Yuedong was lost."

"I don't know the reason yet, I'm checking myself."

Hearing the self-blame and disbelief in Hong Xing's tone, Wei Jiang shook his head and tried to comfort her.

"It's okay, don't mind it."

"Pay attention to the impact of what happened in the early morning and make sure the relevant departments don't pay attention to us."

"Ok."

Red Star did a very comprehensive job in the early morning, but that doesn't mean there won't be any clues left.

Wei Jiang is not worried about these possible clues, because Hongxing can continue to pay attention to clearing these clues.

After breakfast, when Wei Jiang closed his eyes to rest, the data on the charging pile display screen in front of the Wuling car flashed and changed.

The screen is refreshed to show the new charging account. Hongxing does this to avoid triggering security alarms from the charging pile service provider.

While Wei Jiang was resting peacefully with his eyes closed, a shooting incident in the early morning caused an uproar in Yuedong.

All members of the Yuedong Provincial Police Department's Criminal Investigation Team were mobilized, and more than a dozen police cars lined up to rush to the crime scene.

The service area was blocked off by local authorities early on, with cordons set up at the entrances and exits of the service area, and traffic police on duty directing vehicles to leave the area.

When the convoy of police cars from the serious crime squad entered the service area with sirens blaring, some civilian vehicles that had not had time to leave remained parked there. Ordinary tourists who had been frightened all night and dared not close their eyes were gathered in the dining area of ​​the service area to be questioned by the police officers.

"It was pitch black, and I saw a flash of red light. Then the gunfire stopped, and the dozen or so people all lay down."

"I was woken up by someone shouting that someone had died. I was so scared that I could only follow the crowd and start running. I saw a figure lying on the ground from a distance."

"Officer, it has nothing to do with me. I was just tired from driving and wanted to take a rest at the service area."

"Officer, can you let me go? My wife is waiting for me at home."

Looking at the lingering fear on the faces of the people around him, Zhao Keji, head of the Yuedong Province Serious Crime Squad, looked extremely serious.

After walking around the crime scene and learning about the gunman, he realized that this matter was by no means simple.

"Team Leader Zhao, can we let these people go back?"

"They obviously suffered an unprovoked disaster."

"It is almost certain that this matter has nothing to do with them."

The subordinates looked at the pale and terrified faces of the people around them and made suggestions at the appropriate time.

Zhao Keji flipped through the report in his hand and saw the description of the deceased's appearance and the cause of death.

"After the people have been questioned, let them leave."

“Public officials are advised not to leave the country in the near future.”

"Also, tell them to keep silent about this incident and not accept media interviews before the police issue an announcement."

"Yes!"

Watching his subordinates leave to make arrangements, Zhao Keji continued to look down at the report in his hand.

"The fatal wound was in the head, one strike killed him!"

"All of them are like this. They are penetrating wounds. There is high temperature calcification in the tissues near the wounds."

"What kind of weapon could cause such a wound?"

As a retired soldier from the Special Forces of Dongda University, Zhao Keji believes that he has a comprehensive understanding of modern firearms.

When modern firearms penetrate human flesh, they usually cause lacerations, and continuous bleeding is normal.

The penetration and high-temperature calcification on the bodies of the deceased are definitely not destructive effects that can be achieved by ordinary weapons.

"According to the gas station employee, the off-road vehicle team went straight to the mini car after entering. It seems that this group of people and the mysterious owner of the mini car have a grudge against each other."

In the surveillance video list in the report, the police left a note that all surveillance videos were lost.

What made Zhao Keji feel even more bizarre was that all the electronic devices in the service area were invaded and formatted!

“It’s not easy for either side.”

"Among the dead were two Caucasian people, and no identification documents were found at the scene."

While Zhao Keji was thinking, the police officer in charge of technical investigation in the group ran to Zhao Keji in a panic, glanced around and whispered:
"Team Leader, this is a serious matter."

"After we conducted facial recognition on the deceased, we found that all of them were foreigners!"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhao Keji's face became solemn.

With rich experience in handling cases, he understood that this was a serious matter.

This is not an ordinary criminal case. The background involved is so serious that neither Zhao Keji nor Yue Dongsheng can handle it.

"Team leader, most of the deceased had just entered the country in the past few days."

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly:
"Team leader, it seems we have no choice but to report it."

Turning around to look at his subordinate's panicked face, Zhao Keji nodded.

Looking at the people around who had not yet been evacuated, Zhao Keji shouted:
"All police officers, evacuate the crowd immediately and protect them as they return to the city!"

"Now, right now!"

Zhao Keji's instructions made the people at the scene very excited.

After a night of fear, they now desperately want to leave this place of death.

Ten minutes later, police force was reinforced again to maintain order at the crime scene, and Zhao Keji called his superior department in the police system.

It is now impossible to cover up this matter.

The facts were exactly as Zhao Keji had expected. That evening, the bizarre mob shooting and counter-killing case was announced in the news, but the details of the case were not mentioned in the news release.

「2015年1月27日凌晨2点27分，岳东省发生恶性枪击案件」

"Several unidentified male bodies were found at the scene, and no civilian casualties were found in the service area."

"The other party to the conflict is on the run."

"We are now seeking intelligence assistance from the public. If any witnesses provide useful information, the police department will provide a reward."

When Wei Jiang saw the news, Wuling was already driving to the junction of Yuedong and Minhu, and the exploration of the Yuedong area was completed.

"Red Star, pay attention to collecting intelligence on Ugly Eagle and its allies."

"Ok"

Wei Jiang turned his head to look at the rearview mirror outside the car, and saw that the avocado green color of the car body had turned yellow.

This is a change in the appearance of Wuling. If the traffic police department inspects the vehicle, they will find that Wei Jiang’s Wuling is a new car that has just been purchased and registered in Yuedong Province.

This information is clearly recorded in the police's internal vehicle management system.
