Chapter 531: Chapter 345: Cold-Blooded Decree
Shangguan Li led Mo Xue and all the forces at the Edge to charge toward the frontier, which undoubtedly greatly improved the survival conditions of the refugees.
But fundamentally, if they wanted to truly escape the disaster, there was something else they couldn’t avoid, besides needing someone to guard their rear.
That was the tightly shut gates of the Rust Wall.
...
The Rusted Wall Defense Command Center in the Municipal Center District is the direct responsible department for handling Rust Wall defense affairs.
The Rust Wall Defense Team at the frontline has certain on-site disposal rights to handle various daily unexpected situations.
And if they encounter something they don’t know how to handle, the Rust Wall Defense Team will report the situation here and wait for orders from the superiors.
The commander of the Rust Wall Defense Team, "Watanabe No," was sitting in his office eating sushi, drinking barley tea, and carefully reviewing the intelligence transmitted from the computer.
"Yoshi, my subordinates are excellent; they resolutely executed the orders from the City Council, and they all deserve high praise afterward."
When he saw the reports from the front line, he showed a satisfied smile.
"Knock knock knock." At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
Watanabe No: "Come in."
The secretary opened the door and respectfully said to the person outside, "Mr. Sikinkov, please."
Watanabe No saw Sikinkov walk into the office, rubbed his hands, and stood up: "Director, it’s an honor to have you visit, may I ask what brings you here?"
In terms of New Moon City’s administrative setup, the Public Security Bureau and the Rust Wall Defense Team both belong directly under the City Council, nominally equal departments.
However, since the Public Security Bureau has greater authority and a broader jurisdiction, its administrative status far exceeds that of the Rust Wall Defense Team, so Watanabe No lowered his posture when facing Sikinkov.
Sikinkov gestured for the secretary to leave, then paced slowly to Watanabe No’s side and said, "Watanabe No, outside the Rust Wall, it’s becoming a chaotic mess, yet your men remain as steady as a mountain, quite the general demeanor."
Watanabe No chuckled twice, yet his attitude seemed calm: "Director-san, we are all departments directly under the City Council, so of course, we do as the leadership orders."
"I heard before that you and City Council President Amir had differences, I understand your feelings, but as subordinates, we still have to obey orders."
Sikinkov nodded: "Hmm, you’re right."
Watanabe No smiled: "It’s excellent that Director-san can understand."
Suddenly, Sikinkov pointed out the window and asked in confusion, "Oh, what’s that?"
"Hmm? Nanda?" Watanabe No instinctively turned his head to look.
"Thunk!" Sikinkov delivered an old punch to the back of Watanabe No’s head, knocking him out.
After knocking him down, Sikinkov first went to lock the door and prevent anyone from entering unexpectedly.
Next, he began rifling through Watanabe No’s body and quickly found the identification card.
Sikinkov’s goal this trip was the terminal room of the Rusted Wall Defense Command Center, where there are high-level security measures, requiring not only identification cards for personnel access but also passing security system verification.
Given the advanced technology these days, bionic headwear can be easily made lifelike enough to pass as genuine, so in terms of security, facial recognition systems have been phased out, replaced by iris recognition internally.
Everyone’s iris information is unique, with intricate details, making it nearly impossible to breach these systems technically.
Of course, this is from the external perspective. Within the Public Security Bureau, with advanced technology and various special equipment, iris recognition is not without ways to breach.
Sikinkov took a miniature 3D printer from his pocket, about the size of a matchbox, flipped open Watanabe No’s eyelid, and began scanning the eyeball with the printer.
Soon, the iris information was fed into it, the printer started operating, and within ten seconds, it produced two round lenses.
These round lenses resemble contact lenses, containing Watanabe No’s complete iris information, allowing him to perfectly steal the target’s iris features by adhering them to his eyes.
Sikinkov put on the two round lenses, then took a small electronic system jamming case and a laser beam disguised as a lighter from his pocket.
He crouched in front of the safe under the desk, first attaching the jamming case to the side, disrupting the electronic lock and built-in anti-tamper alarm system.
Subsequently, the laser beam began operating, forming a short, powerful high-energy blade, cutting along the cabinet seam and severing the physical lock, eventually opening it completely.
Inside the safe lay a key-shaped chip, the key to controlling the entire Rusted Wall Defense Command Center terminal.
Sikinkov put the identification card and key into his pocket, hoisted Watanabe No onto a chair, and positioned him as if asleep.
After reconsidering, he was still uneasy and punched him again to ensure he was deeply asleep before leaving the office.
Sikinkov walked around the corner to the administration desk, where the secretary stood up and greeted him: "Director."
Sikinkov calmly said, "Hmm, Watanabe No said he’s tired and wants a nap, so make sure nobody disturbs him."
The secretary nodded, "Understood."
Sikinkov entered the elevator but did not go to the ground floor. Instead, he swiped the identification card, heading directly to the basement level.
As the elevator doors opened, a deep corridor came into view, crisscrossing toward different office areas, with guards patrolling the hallways back and forth.
