Chapter 338: We’ll Talk When You Get Back
Lin Tian’s eyes darted around, and he chuckled mischievously, the righteous indignation from before disappearing, replaced by a wily grin: "Can I ask for a little interest first? Like, maybe a kiss..."
"You! Get! Lost!"
Chen Moxiang rolled her eyes, then walked away without looking back: "Talk to me when you get back!"
"When I come back, I am definitely going to have my way with you!"
Chen Moxiang froze for a moment, nearly bumping into a wall, but the corners of her mouth curled into a fleeting smile.
As Chen Moxiang left, Lin Tian suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion hit him.
It was as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him, and he couldn’t muster any strength.
Tonight’s operation had drained too much of his energy, and the extended use of X-ray Vision had taken a significant toll on his body.
So naturally, after reporting his work, the first thing he needed to do was rest.
The night was deep, and sleep was overwhelming.
"Snore..." Lin Tian lay on the bed with all four limbs spread out, falling asleep in an instant.
Not a word was spoken overnight, and by the time he woke up, it was almost noon, and he felt much refreshed. After washing up, he went to find Ye Feng.
Regarding this operation’s deployment, Lin Tian felt it was necessary to make some changes.
He had the ability of X-ray Vision, allowing him to roam freely within the venue, discovering enemies before they detected him, while remaining unseen.
But Chen Moxiang didn’t have such abilities!
So, for this entry into the venue, Lin Tian decided he should be the main force and go solo!
As for Chen Moxiang... she would be responsible for observation and support, with Ye Feng handling command!
This operation was too difficult, a slight mistake could cost lives, even with the advantage of X-ray Vision, Lin Tian had to be extremely cautious.
He could protect himself, but if he had to look after others too, Lin Tian knew he couldn’t manage it.
Last night’s exploration of the venue had almost allowed him to understand the place clearly.
But the clearer it was, the less Lin Tian dared to let Chen Moxiang follow along, because just because he could retreat safely after grabbing the item, didn’t mean Chen Moxiang could.
When Lin Tian arrived, Ye Feng was still sitting at the table, studying the operation plan, with many sheets of draft paper used, and the ashtray filled with cigarette butts.
"Feng, I think we need to revise the plan for this operation." Lin Tian got straight to the point.
"Hmm?" Ye Feng, who had been analyzing the safest way to enter the venue and unlock the code lock, paused, looking at Lin Tian with a puzzled glance: "Did you discover something new?"
Ye Feng, worthy of being the ringleader, had a sharp sense and immediately picked up on the issues in Lin Tian’s words.
Lin Tian nodded and sat opposite Ye Feng: "Last night, I stealthily visited the venue again, and found that the security inside was much more complicated than we had anticipated!"
"It has all sorts of advanced equipment, hidden cameras are not the only defenses, there’s also infrared, sonic sensors... Also, on the bulletproof glass protecting the exhibit, there’s a lock, a fingerprint lock, and only by unlocking it can you access the protective cover for the artifact and then use the code to retrieve the ancient artifact inside!"
Lin Tian’s expression was serious as he reported all the details of the venue to Ye Feng: "The problem of the fingerprint lock hasn’t been solved yet, but Mr. Chen said she’ll handle it. What we need to do now is focus on solving the code lock issue, and figure out the quickest way to calculate the code."
"Moreover, the plan for this operation needs to be redistributed!"
"It’s very troublesome!" Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed, frowning, according to Lin Tian, the difficulty of the operation would increase substantially.
Before, there might have been a slim chance of success, but now, if it’s truly as described, even that slim chance might be nonexistent!
"I’ve almost solved the code lock issue." Ye Feng thought for a moment and decided to relieve some of the tension between them by sharing the progress they had made.
"When the time comes, I’ll relay the calculated result to you via an earpiece, but the speed at which this code lock changes is extremely fast, typically within five seconds. Since we don’t have main access, we only have the time to hack it. You have only one second to input the code. You need to receive the code within 0.5 seconds, then crack it within 0.5 seconds or less. After a second, the code changes again, and if inputting fails five times consecutively, it will trigger an alarm, with unthinkable consequences!"
This means that to unlock the code lock, you need to receive and unlock it within one second, significantly increasing the mission’s difficulty!
The average person’s response time is 0.5 seconds, Lin Tian’s might be faster, but at most around 0.2 seconds, meaning he only has about 0.8 seconds, or possibly less, to unlock the code lock!
"That’s really tough!"
Lin Tian felt increasingly serious; surveillance cameras, infrared, sonic sensors, and other problems were not a big deal for him. With the capability of X-ray Vision, he could easily avoid them, but the only bothersome part was the code lock, which posed a huge challenge!
"But still within acceptable limits!"
Fortunately, Lin Tian’s reaction speed and other abilities had significantly enhanced, barely allowing him to meet Ye Feng’s requirements!
"That’s good!"
Seeing Lin Tian nod, Ye Feng also felt relieved; the code lock was the biggest issue, and he had been worried that neither Lin Tian nor Chen Moxiang could quickly crack it. If the problem with the code lock couldn’t be resolved, no matter how precise the plan was, this operation was doomed to fail with no chance of success!
These were carefully calculated to ensure accuracy.
"With the code lock issue resolved, next is your mention of infrared and sonic sensors." Ye Feng’s brain started rapidly processing.
"Infrared can be handled with anti-infrared goggles, and for sonic sensors, as long as we control our movements, it can likewise be avoided..." Ye Feng’s mind at this moment functioned like a computer’s USB drive, pinpointing each problem while contemplating solutions.
"As for surveillance, we might need to ask Mr. Chen for help with acquiring an invisibility cloak!"
"Invisibility cloak? What’s that?" Lin Tian was surprised, having never heard of such a thing!
"The reason people can see objects is because objects block light waves from passing through. If there’s a material that can coat the object, directing the blocked light waves to ’go around,’ then it would seem as though the light faced no obstruction. To an observer, the object appears to ’not exist,’ achieving visual invisibility... also known as a Blinding Skill!"
Ye Feng’s ample knowledge allowed him to quickly explain: "And the invisibility cloak against special surveillance is highly unique, only Mr. Chen can obtain it!"
"So, let’s quickly get Mr. Chen over here!"
