Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Camby James' mansion is located on the top of an artificial hill in Taiping District. It covers an area of ​​about 1,400 square meters and has an open-air swimming pool, dance floor and a private cellar irrigation station called the "wine pool". The entire building is mainly white, with an open balcony and a giant living room on the two floors above ground, a third floor and attic with more privacy above, and a movie theater, billiard room, three bowling lanes, and more on the three underground floors. Small reception room and garage.

This is a quite extravagant mansion. Old man Canby lives and drinks here. He is surrounded by beautiful and handsome men every day, while smoking blue smoke and sucking on flattery. It is so uncomfortable.

All comfort is based on two foundations: money and security. There are many rich people in Taiping District, but not many are as flamboyant as him. There are frequent gatherings, people coming and going, people from all walks of life, and guys of any character may appear, including many who covet his wealth. Old man Canby is no stranger to thieves, frauds, and even kidnappers, but he can save the day every time.

Assassin Property Company equipped him with a quite luxurious security system, including a complete set of identification systems based on Yingcong automatic equipment, security access control and bunker systems, and anti-theft strike systems.

The most exaggerated thing is this "strike" system, which is a shadow gun launching device that can kill people. Originally, this system could only fire shock weapons or non-lethal restricted weapons. Assassin Property specially found engineers in the army and privately changed the weapon part of the system so that it could fire ghost energy bombs. As long as Canby gives an order, this system will automatically protect him and attack all unidentified targets within the mansion without mercy.

"This set of things operates independently. You can only try to find its interface when you enter the mansion. Even if you find it, it will be difficult to crack it." Nightingale said to Zhuang Xuteng in the encrypted channel: "Since Assassin Property can modify this They will definitely add their own style to the system. This type of personalized style system is much more difficult to crack than the standard system. Only by working continuously for a long time can it be possible to master it."

"It can't be done under the current circumstances." Yanque concluded, she said: "Unless there are two more weeks and two or three infiltration opportunities to crack, we will not be able to control the strike system. But other than that In addition, we hope to solve other problems such as access control and identification."

"Okay, you work hard to get the access control and identification first, and I'll go to the scene to take a look."

Since Camby James' mansion is located on a hilltop, there are no passers-by here. A winding mountain road leads directly to the door of their home. Either they are here to visit, or they are taking the wrong way and turning around here. After Zhuang Xuteng carefully studied the map of the area, he decided to give up driving and hike up the mountain. First, he went to the neighbor's house who lived "downstairs" in Canby to check out the situation.

It has to be said that the environment in Taiping District is very good. Just for the green plants along the road, the maintenance cost of every two hundred meters of flowers and plants is enough for the daily life of a person in the Hedi District. Walking on the road, Zhuang Xuteng even forgot that the "normal" world outside should actually be a semi-desert, especially in a place like Taiping District where the population is not dense enough. There should not be such lush and vibrant vegetation in an open environment - all of this It's made of money.

The PCPD on the road greeted Zhuang Xuteng warmly, and Zhuang Xuteng nodded to them calmly. For today's stroll, he put on the casual clothes designed by his sister. It was not a gangster-style outfit, but a more everyday and plain set of plain clothes. At the same time, he also brought out the meat bag, held it with an alloy chain, and walked slowly on the road.

Not only does the PCPD still maintain patrols in the Taiping District, it is even heavier than before, so you can always see police cars or police officers within one or two blocks. They are very vigilant and will not let gang members or other dangerous elements enter this part of the city, and they are also very discerning and can distinguish who belongs here and who has sneaked in.

Keeping pets is a popular activity in Taiping District. It is said that it can also improve the environment by increasing the number of living creatures. There was a time when it was better to raise those difficult-to-raise creatures, such as cold-blooded lizards and tropical parrots. Anyway, they were all contrary to the climate and environment of Peicheng. Later, they began to compare whose family was more obedient and able to play tricks. There were more cats, dogs, horses, sheep, donkeys and cows, and some also raised owls and eagles. The latest trend is to raise big ones, starting with horses. It is said that some people also raise giraffes and elephants. Zhuang Xuteng brought snow leopards, which can only be said to be barely qualified in terms of size, but they are predators and are naturally a higher level, so overall they are still on the cusp of popularity.

He was walking the snow leopard on the street, which completely matched the style of Taiping District. At first glance, he didn't sneak in from the outside.

Following Zhuang Xuteng, he stayed in his room most of the time and rarely went to the rooftop to relax. Roubao doesn't know much about the outside world, and he lacks even more knowledge about the natural environment. It stared all the way, looking left and right, looking at everything around it curiously. Every time Zhuang Xuteng stopped, he would take the opportunity to move slightly to the roadside, stretch out his furry paws, and touch the evergreen plants on the roadside.

Zhuang Xuteng didn't know much about botany and couldn't name the green plant on the roadside. He only knew that it had thick stacked leaves and a shiny surface. There was just a light snowfall yesterday. The snow on the ground has melted, but some remains on the leaves. If you poke the meat bun with your paw, it will shake off snowflakes. It would sniff with its nose, lick with its tongue, and then look at Zhuang Xuteng with its big eyes, looking confused and looking quite cute.

"This is called snow," Zhuang Xuteng didn't need to bend down. He could reach out and touch the top of the meat bun's head, and scratched its hair with his fingers. "Have fun, don't be afraid."

Although the weather in Peicheng is cold, it is no problem for snow leopards. The thick fur is enough to withstand low temperatures, including the four chubby feet, and you won't feel cold when you step on the ground in the city. In fact, due to the existence of underground steam pipes, the ground in Taiping District is relatively not cold. The higher you stand, the colder it becomes.

Walking the big cat up the mountain road, we are getting closer and closer to a comparable mansion. There are fewer PCPDs on the roadside and more eyes from the security guards. Zhuang Xuteng found many hidden cameras along the way, and also saw the prying eyes directed at him from the houses on the roadside. The "rich families" here hire their own security and property management, and their houses are like fortresses with many people guarding the fortresses.

Most of these people carry guns and use implants. Zhuang Xuteng observed them through the fence, and his shadowy eyes swept over them. Their implants were concentrated in their eyes, ears, and wrists. From this point of view, their implants have enhanced their observation and shooting abilities. When using shadow firearms, they can shoot faster than ordinary people, and the total number and frequency of shots are also more advantageous. However, they did not pose much threat to Zhuang Xuteng.

Continuing up the road, there are more surveillance cameras, which is a bit strange. It stands to reason that on the same street, the entrance area is commonly used by more people, so everyone will install surveillance cameras here. This should be the place with the largest number. It's the opposite here in Canby. The more there are only one or two companies left, the more surveillance there is. Zhuang Xuteng recorded the position and orientation of each camera in his mind, and found that they overlapped each other and the coverage effect was very good. They must have been designed by a sensible person.

It doesn't matter, the camera is dead, it will always have a blind spot. Along the way, Zhuang Xuteng has planned at least six routes for sneaking up the mountain, and he can adjust them according to whether the road is busy or empty. But he soon encountered an insurmountable problem: just three house numbers away from Canby's mansion, Assassin Property set up a roadblock, and two strong men blocked Zhuang Xuteng's way.

"Please don't walk or pet here. There are only residents further on, and they don't want to be disturbed. You are obviously not going home. If you are a visitor, please send an invitation or contact the owner of the house. We can only be informed here Let you go up."

Zhuang Xuteng couldn't get the so-called "invitation", so he couldn't force his way in. He first promoted the idea of ​​​​public roads to the two security guards wearing Assassin property signs, and found out that the two would not be angered at all. They had obviously received special training in this area; then he tried to use a trick and asked about the situation on the mountain. Keep your mouth shut tightly and don't say a word of nonsense to him.

Their lack of cooperation brought Zhuang Xuteng a lot of trouble. At least with the meat bag, he could not investigate further. After leading the snow leopard down the mountain and circling the man-made hill, the security guards at Assassin Property were indeed conscientious enough to guard all directions.

"Let's move to another mountain." Zhuang Xuteng said, touching Roubao's head.

Taiping District was completely built from the ground up. Except for a few high-rise buildings in the central comprehensive service area, the rest of the area is basically full of big houses, mansions and manors. In order to highlight the difference, artificial hills were planned during construction to create a height difference effect. The houses at the foot of the mountain have more trees, the houses on the hillside have more layers, and the houses on the top of the mountain have more perspectives. This can not only meet the needs of different groups of people, but also make the area colorful and full of life.

Zhuang Xuteng climbed up the artificial hill next door with his meat buns and took a rest at the parking viewing platform on the roadside. The residents on this hilltop prefer privacy, and walls, fences and thorny vegetation completely conceal the scene inside the mansion. Fortunately, the direction facing Canby's mansion is facing the winding mountain road here, and the view is not blocked, allowing Zhuang Xuteng to take a closer look.

"The distance is too far to glide from here." Zhuang Xuteng took out dried meat from his pocket and fed it to the snow leopard, loosening the chain so that it could run and jump within a slightly larger range. There was more vegetation here, so he could reasonably stand still with the excuse of "let the pet happily play with the leaves".

"There are too many surveillance cameras on that side of the road, and there are roadblocks every day, so it is not suitable for breaking through. If Nightingale and Rock Bird can get party tickets, it is best to drive through the main entrance. In other cases, you must consider the houses that pass through the hillside. , crawling in from the wilderness."

Generally speaking, wilderness is more difficult to navigate than roads. People passing by on the main road may be the owner of the house, guests or just passers-by, but nine out of ten people passing by the wilderness have ulterior motives. For the hillside direction, the security level will be higher and it will be easier to trigger a more violent reaction. If you meet a stranger at the gate, you will politely ask him who he is, issue a warning, and then take action; if you see a sneaky person in the wild, you will probably say: "Who is it? Don't move and raise your hands! Do you want to What are you doing? Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

It’s a bit difficult to handle...

Previous infiltration operations, such as Guanghui University Hospital and Yeyoushen Bar, are public places with people coming and going, making it easy to find cover. Now this is a private residence. Except for holding parties, visitors and approaches are prohibited, so it is difficult for Zhuang Xuteng to find cover.

Canby House and its closest neighbor are located on the southeast and southwest sides of the artificial hill, respectively, with a fence dividing the two houses. The fence is five meters high and equipped with barbed wire. Several cameras have a panoramic view of the fence. Moreover, these two families unanimously chose to lay lawns. They would rather let the fence stand abruptly than make the junction area of ​​the hillside flat and without obstruction.

"Sacrifice beauty while improving safety..." Zhuang Xuteng frowned and continued to observe. The neighbors of Canby Mansion are not separated from the neighbors further down by barbed wire fences and lawns. Instead, they are separated by brick walls and groves. It is not only beautiful, but also has more areas for relaxing walks. The winding stone path goes through the trees and circles the yard, making the entire manor more interesting.

From this comparison, we can know that the pursuit of safety should be Camby's request, or the suggestion of Assassin Property, and then get the approval of Camby James. With so much emphasis on the periphery, the interior will not be simple either. Especially in the areas where high-value items are stored and in Canby's personal living area, security must be very high.

"Huh?" Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes. He noticed that someone on the hill opposite had begun to look at him. Judging from his clothes, that person should be a servant of Canby's mansion, and he had been cleaning the ground near the swimming pool just now, doing cleaner's work. The man raised his head, put a tent on his eyebrows with his hands, and looked towards Zhuang Xuteng. Zhuang Xuteng suspected that he was also part of the security measures. In order not to arouse suspicion, he tugged on the chain to bring the meat bag closer to him, then turned and walked back.

The two went straight down the mountain, walked another two kilometers, and returned to the armored ferret. When he opened the car door, Meat Bao immediately rushed in, lay down on the soft cushion and didn't move. This guy had never been out in the cold for so long. He was either tired or hungry, which was normal. Zhuang Xuteng first wiped its belly with a towel, briefly cleaned up the hair stained by dirty water, and then gave it some dried meat snacks to pad its belly, and then dialed Nightingale's encrypted phone number.

"I took a look today and the situation is not optimistic." Zhuang Xuteng started the car and let the steam engine heat up and pressurize. "The security measures there are tighter than expected, and the executors are also very nervous, and even set up roadblocks to refuse to approach. I would like to ask, how did you obtain the information about the composition of the security system there?"

"I know what you mean, I'll check again, double check."

"Very good. Then to expand the scope, I need the situation of his neighbor's house. If you two are too busy, ask Lucy for support." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I will go back first and change my equipment before exploring again. In addition, I prefer it to be a way for guests to enter, preferably real invited guests, not fake ones.”

"Let me think of a way..."
