Endai frowned, but Zoe had already continued: "For example, for some reason, the assassin's actions are actually restricted during the day -"
Endai shook her head, "You can say that the assassin tends to move at night, or that it needs to use night as a disguise, but suddenly jumping to the conclusion of 'restricted behavior' is still a bit... far-fetched."
Zoe was not discouraged, “I didn’t infer this for no reason, because——”
A bell chimed downstairs, its echo interrupting their conversation.
It's already nine o'clock, and Victoria hasn't appeared yet.
Endai recalibrated her watch, "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go to our places. I think your analysis is very good. When Victoria comes back, remember to talk to her about it."
"It must be said," Zoe stood up and raised the narrow window of the attic. She glanced outside the window and turned back, "But there is still a question I haven't figured out yet."
"What?"
"... Let me sort things out and we'll talk later."
The two waved goodbye, and Zoe jumped out of the window and ran along the steep eaves to the other end of the farm.
Five minutes later, everyone went into electronic silence.
They stared at the western sky.
——Will the assassin really come from this direction tonight?
…
At the Central Hospital, Schmidt was still unconscious. His sleepiness did not bring him peace, and his face was still full of pain. The complex instruments in the intensive care unit are still flashing frequently, working together to maintain the life of the elderly.
Two of Avinash's men were currently guarding the rooftop of the ward.
At this time, one of them was sitting on the water tank with arms folded and sleeping lightly, while the other was standing under the light sign with the name of the hospital, leaning against the wall in a daze out of boredom.
In view of the lessons learned from the last "Gleaner Incident", Schmidt should have been placed in separate isolation to avoid implicating other patients and the entire building in the event of a fight. However, Schmidt's body was too weak and could not withstand the slightest bit of torture.
But that’s okay, Avinash promised, “If fighting breaks out, we will try to avoid making the hospital the first battlefield to protect the safety of civilians.”
Although Avinash did not say it explicitly, several subordinates have already understood the attitude of their superiors from this sentence and many previous signs: their mission to confront the assassins ended last night, and all they have to do next is Continue to do some cooperative work-continue to capture the image of the assassin.
Next, as long as Victoria doesn't stop him, they will still have to strive to be present at all important occasions - such as Schmidt's escort work tonight. All these details will be written into their work reports and included in everyone's year-end performance.
The cold wind in the winter night whistled, and both of them looked ahead expressionlessly, looking forward to the night passing by quickly.
The twelve-story central hospital building is now equivalent to an island.
With the hospital as the center, the radius of two kilometers is now a vacuum zone. The police are stationed on the outside all night long, prohibiting all intruders. At the same time, chelate capture radars are covered in every direction.
In such an empty city at night, no matter whether the assassin plans to approach slowly as an ordinary person or to launch a rapid attack like the last time, he will not escape their eyes.
Just like last night, every mercury needle here is fixed with a lens for capturing images, and all captured images will be transmitted in real time. This is the most important task tonight.
Suddenly, the huge light sign above the two people flashed.
The man who was taking a nap sitting on the water tank opened his eyes directly - every time the assassin would create circuit problems before appearing, this had almost become a sign of its coming.
But they watched for a while. It was quiet all around, except for the hum of a few machines working.
To prevent accidents, the two immediately entered bullet time and synchronized the situation to other partners.
With the sudden increase in sensory efficacy, the two of them showed disgusted expressions at the same time.
"...Oh, it's so disgusting, this smell."
——In order to conceal Schmidt’s location information, the entire hospital’s offices, corridors and external halls were sprayed with strong anti-epidemic spray, and the intensive care unit was a negative pressure ward, so the internal smell would not escape outside. This eliminates the possibility of an assassin finding a target through scent.
In addition to the two people on the rooftop, there are two mercury needles patrolling the corridors on the fourth and fifth floors of the hospital, and one mercury needle stationed at each intersection on both sides of the hospital downstairs.
In addition, there are only a few medical staff on duty in the offices on each floor, and there is no one else around.
This has the advantage that as long as something goes wrong at one point, several other people can respond quickly. This arrangement is perfect for a battle that doesn't require fighting, just entanglement.
And further and higher, Hesta also realized this.
She was squatting behind the fence of a certain church dome, looking at everything about the enemy through the telescope. Due to the limited field of vision, she could not see the position of the mercury needles on the ground, but she expected that the number would not be too many - under the current situation, Avinash was unlikely to ask the coalition government for more reinforcements.
Hesta held up the telescope and carefully observed the movement of the mercury needle in the distance while looking for several possible locations to capture the radar.
It is a good idea to use the surrounding buildings to avoid the sight of these mercury needles and sneak directly into the hospital. However, aerial movements can easily attract the attention of the chelate capture radar. But if you lurk from the ground, the two mercury needles guarding the rooftop will That's where it gets a little trickier - they're up high and the ground details are unobstructed to them.
It seems that both of them have entered bullet time. Although there is strong wind tonight, which can cover up some sounds, if there is any unexpected situation, it is still easy to be detected.
Many possibilities were rehearsed in Hesta's mind at the same time, and she quickly thought of countermeasures.
But having said that, Hesta hardly felt the tense fighting spirit from these people. At this point, she liked Avinash and his men very much. Their presence always meant an easier battle. She loved seeing these people's faces, especially when they were next to her target.
After a moment of observation, Hesta decided to start the night with Schmidt as planned. When the battle here is over, she will rush to Cleye Farm non-stop to settle things with Rishi.
A sweeping night wind roared from the north again. It poured into all the streets of the city like a giant wave, making a sharp whistle-like sound among the dry branches and old eaves.
When a few dead leaves were blown up from the ground into the sky and fell into the narrow corridor of the church dome, her figure had disappeared.
