War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1659 Sightseeing Car

In the darkness of night, on a small path among the birch trees, several black shadows, with the help of night vision goggles, held their weapons in their hands and vigilantly observed their surroundings.

Among these people, Anfia was half-kneeling behind Anfisa, wearing a strange-looking motorcycle helmet.

This helmet has an antenna nearly half a meter long on the top of the head, and an additional set of night vision goggles is fixed at the chin.

Inside the helmet, Anfia can use the goggles modified from Google Glass to browse the nursing home's surveillance situation at any time and perform remote control.

When necessary, she can even raise the FPV glasses fixed on her chin to control a drone or remote-controlled car.

To match the outfit, Anfisa, who was half-kneeling in front of her, had a crucial soft Bluetooth keyboard fixed on her back.

"Let it fly," Anfia whispered in the darkness.

Before she finished her words, a girl from Hela's team successfully threw a newly assembled foam hand-throwing plane with a wingspan of about one meter into the air as if she was throwing a paper airplane.

Compared with quadcopters, this fixed-wing drone is undoubtedly much quieter, so quiet that it will not attract much attention even if it flies at low altitude.

After a moment, Anfia said, "Let's go. Go 35 degrees to the left. I can see the lights of the sanatorium."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up, led by Wei Ran and Ji Ma, and moved quietly through the woods, getting closer and closer to the sanatorium.

The distance was less than one kilometer, and it took the group only 20 minutes to reach a barbed wire wall nearly three meters high.

It was still Anfia who took action, but this time, she had taken off the electronic warfare helmet she designed herself, took out an electric pen from the small bag on her leg, and pressed it against the barbed wire wall.

'No power'

Anfia put away the electric pen, turned around and took out a remote-controlled car from the backpack of a Hela girl next to her. The chassis was only the size of a mobile phone, but each tire was as big as a mooncake, and you couldn't even tell the front and back.

By the time she had finished matching the car with the helmet she designed, Wei Ran had already taken out the wire cutters from the metal notebook under the cover of his backpack and cut a small hole in the barbed wire fence that was just big enough for a person to stick his head through and was close to the ground.

Almost at the same time, Anfia took the double-sided tape handed to her by her sister and wrapped it around the car. Then she grabbed a handful of fallen leaves and pressed them on the double-sided tape, creating the fastest camouflage that best fit the surrounding environment.

"Hide them all"

After Anfia finished speaking, she hid behind a tree and put on her helmet again. Then she took a remote control from her waist and operated the small car in Anfisa's hand to rotate the front and rear tires. After she was sure that there was no problem, she gently patted Anfisa on the back.

After receiving the signal, Anfisa threw the car directly over the cut fence, and then immediately took out the second car and prepared it herself with a seemingly random disguise.

On the FPV glasses screen that Wei Ran and others could not see, Anfia manipulated the small car to quietly approach the nearest building. After pointing the camera at the gate of the building, she tapped the soft keyboard on her sister's back to successfully complete the network connection and hung the surveillance footage in the background.

With the tacit cooperation of the two sisters, small cars disguised as piles of fallen leaves ran almost all over the place, either staring at the front and back doors of the buildings, or hiding on the roads that must be passed, or aiming at the security guards who were smoking, slacking off, or even secretly having sex with the maids.

Of course, there is another part that simply drove under the chassis of the cars in the parking lot, ready to detonate the TNT fixed on the chassis at any time.

Also during this time, Yulia, the deputy captain of the Hela team, had quietly sneaked to the side of the only road leading to the sanatorium with four team members, camouflaged and ready to block the road at any time.

At half past ten in the evening, as the last car equipped with a signal jammer was successfully parked and hidden in the shadow of the mobile building, Anfia put away the remote control.

"Everything has been arranged. All known security personnel have eyes on them. All surveillance blind spots, as well as the front and back doors of the building and most of the cars in the parking lot have also been equipped with eyes or explosives."

Anfia paused and said, "Now all the surveillance backgrounds have been taken over by the children. They will remind us through the headphones if we are noticed by the security personnel. When necessary, they will project the nearby surveillance images to the mobile phone screen according to everyone's needs."

"How long do those small cars last?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"Now all are in standby mode, and can last until tomorrow morning, but if they are awakened, they can only last half an hour at most. If they are in standby mode for too long, it may be shorter."

Anfia replied, “It can’t function when on standby, so the children can only keep an eye on the surrounding situation as much as possible through the surveillance that has been taken over.

In addition, if the signal jammer is turned on, all the cars will malfunction, and only the original surveillance of this nursing home can be used."

"Unless we are discovered by the enemy, try not to enable signal interference." Wei Ran made the decision in a low voice.

"When do we start?" Ji Ma asked the question that concerned him most.

"hold on"

Wei Ran pointed to the light on the top floor of the building in the distance and said, "Wait until they have rested."

Hearing this, the people around stopped asking questions, hid themselves, and observed the situation in the sanatorium through the barbed wire.

In the middle of the sanatorium is a garden with a fountain, on either side of the garden are three-story villas, and between the two villas, facing the garden, is a Stalin-style auditorium.

Behind the auditorium is a row of garages that can accommodate approximately a dozen cars.

At this time, the security personnel were either patrolling outside the two villas or guarding the door of the garage. There was no security personnel in the garden surrounded by the three buildings.

Further away, there are facilities such as tennis courts and outdoor swimming pools. From time to time, a few security guards drive golf carts around the edge.

Fortunately, perhaps because of concerns that the light would affect the sleep quality of the people in the two villas, although there were many large lights at the edge of the sanatorium, none of them were turned on.

But Wei Ran and the others all knew that although these lights were not turned on, infrared lights were on everywhere. With the help of these lights that were invisible to the naked eye, everything on the edge of the sanatorium was clearly visible in the surveillance footage - if the surveillance had not been tampered with by the cyber group kids raised by the Hela organization.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the lights in the auditorium went out one after another, and people came out of the auditorium one after another. Under the watchful eyes of the cars that were urgently woken up, they said goodbye to each other while talking and laughing, and went into the villas on both sides.

"Why are there so many people?"

Anfia, who was still wearing her helmet, muttered something, then took it off and said, "There were about thirty people who just walked out of the auditorium."

"Maybe the family members of those on the list?"

Jima whispered, “We can’t just come back in a few days because they are entertaining guests.”

"It's just that these guests came at the wrong time."

Wei Ran, who was holding a telescope, responded absentmindedly, but in fact his attention was all focused on those buildings.

As he waited and watched patiently, when the time came to 12 o'clock, the lights in the two villas went out one after another, leaving only a few rooms with lights on.

It was only 12 o'clock, and many security personnel had already withdrawn, even those patrolling in golf carts had stopped.

Apparently, they had entrusted the security work to a tireless surveillance system with an automatic alarm function.

“No more waiting”

Wei Ran, who had been keeping an eye on the situation inside the sanatorium, whispered, "Let's go in from the back and take care of the security first."

After saying that, he was the first one to pick up his gun, crouch down, and carefully touch the back of the auditorium under the cover of the surrounding vegetation.

Although this place is located behind the auditorium and the two villas, venues such as tennis courts are all distributed in this direction.

These venues were completely unobstructed, especially the auditorium, which had a row of garages behind it, and it was obvious that the security members were stationed in the auditorium.

After careful observation to confirm that there were no snipers on the commanding heights, Wei Ran slowly pulled the bolt to load the bullet and said, "Jima, Kajianka, first deal with the four security guards on duty at the garage door, and then we will move over.

Asma, leave three people here to guard and cover, and you take the rest and follow us."

"Click" everyone gave a very consistent response by loading the bullets into the chamber.

"Zuo Yi" Wei Ran was the first to let the barrel of the gun pass through the barbed wire fence and capture the target he had set his eyes on.

"Second from the left," Ji Ma whispered.

"We are fine," the Kajianka sisters said in unison.

"3, 2, 1, fire"

As Wei Ran's order was given, the four men pulled the trigger in no particular order.

"despair!"

Amid the faint sounds of gun parts colliding with each other in an almost overlapping manner, four heavy bullets flew over a distance of over a hundred meters and accurately hit the four security guards.

"Bang!" The subsequent follow-up shots hit the four bodies that had not yet fallen.

Almost as soon as the first gunshot was heard, two Hela girls began cutting the barbed wire with wire cutters.

By the time Wei Ran and the other three had fired their second bullet, four other Hela girls had already picked up the bullet casings from their first four bullets.

By the time the four girls each picked up the second shell and put it in their pockets, a hole had been cut in the barbed wire fence large enough for an adult to bend over and crawl through.

Without paying any attention to the cameras that had been taken over by their own people, Wei Ran, Jima, the Kajianka sisters, and even the girls led by Asma squeezed through the hole as quickly as possible, covering each other as they quickly approached the auditorium.

When Jima first reached the back door of the auditorium, Asuma and others had already finished shooting the four bodies in the heads and were checking the garages one by one.

Without waiting for them to come back, Ji Ma gently turned the handle of the back door of the auditorium and opened the thick wooden door, allowing Wei Ran and the Kajianka sisters, who had already changed to silent pistols, to walk in while protecting each other.

Behind this door, there was a fairly bright light in the corridor, and there was also a staircase leading upstairs.

Jima, who came in last, was left guarding the stairs and waiting for Asma and others. Wei Ran and the Kajianka sisters had taken off their night vision goggles and reached the door of the only room in the corridor on the first floor.

After listening for a while, Wei Ran gently opened the door which was not locked at all, only to find that this was actually an armory. Various ammunition and weapons were placed in different categories. There was also a compartment with no door but only a curtain.

After looking at the two sisters, Wei Ran walked quietly to the door curtain of the compartment, only to find that it was the monitoring room.

However, compared to the surveillance footage on the screens all over the wall that had not moved for a long time, the only person on duty here had his pants pulled down to his knees, was staring at the content on his mobile phone screen and busy doing needlework, and did not notice the eyes prying at him from behind.

After carefully looking in other directions of the monitoring room, Wei Ran gently lifted the curtain, aimed at the man's temple and pulled the trigger.

"despair!"

Accompanied by a faint gunshot, Wei Ran reached out to catch the thrown bullet shell and stuffed it into his jacket pocket.

"Come in and take a look," Wei Ran greeted in a low voice.

Hearing this, the Kajianka sisters immediately walked in, glanced at the corpse holding the meat needle, and then shifted their attention to the monitoring screens and the host of the monitoring server.

Without much delay, Anfia inserted a USB drive into the server host.

At the same time, while Wei Ran was re-shooting the corpse, Anfisa also picked up the intercom on the table, connected an electronic device the size of a cigarette box to the intercom, and then hid it in the drawer. In less than 20 seconds, the three of them left the monitoring room, passed through the armory and returned to the staircase guarded by Hela.

"From now on, we can hear the real-time calls from the security personnel's intercom through our headphones." Anfisa reminded, covering the microphone at her throat.

Wei Ran and Jima were still in the lead, followed by the Kajianka sisters, and Asma and the girls were the last ones to leave.

When they climbed to the second floor, they found that there was a floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the corridor that allowed them to see the interior of the auditorium, but the curtains of the window were outside the window, and the window was completely closed.

In other words, as long as the curtains outside are drawn, you can't see what's going on in the auditorium from this corridor.

On the other side of the corridor, there are rooms lined up next to each other, exactly 10 in total.

After taking a look at the surveillance cameras on the wall, Wei Ran signaled Asma to be on guard. Then he, Jima and the Kajianka sisters stood in front of the doors of the two rooms in pairs.

Gently turning the doorknob, unexpectedly, none of the doors were locked, and the four were able to open the doors easily.

The rooms were not very large, with a single bed on either side of the only window, and two tables next to each other beside the window. In addition, there was a restroom on the side of the entrance.

However, although there were signs that someone lived in the room, there was no one in it.

Without much delay, the two groups left the room, looked at each other, shook their heads at each other, and then came to the next room.

He looked at each room one by one until Wei Ran tried to open the fourth room, and found that the door was finally locked.

This was no problem for Ji Ma, as he opened the door lock in less than five seconds.

With a slight "click" sound, Wei Ran quickly pushed open the door, raised his gun, aimed at a man on the bed who had been awakened and had pulled out a pistol from under the pillow, and pulled the trigger first!

"Ta! Ta!"

Two consecutive weak gunshots were blocked in the room by the door that Ji Ma closed in time. When Ji Ma came over with a gun in hand, the only person in the room had already been shot dead in the chest and temple.

Without much delay, the two brothers pushed open the door and were about to walk out, but Hela, who was guarding the stairs, pulled the trigger almost at the same time, shooting dead a man who came out of another door next to them!
Without waiting for the body to fall to the ground, Wei Ran reacted extremely quickly and grabbed one of his hands into his arms, and as if dancing, he "threw" this heavy and gloomy dance partner to the other side of his body.

Ji Ma's reaction was equally quick. He rushed into the room and almost pointed the PSS silenced pistol in his hand directly at the back of a man who had just walked into the bathroom and was peeing, and pulled the trigger!

After he helped the man kneel beside the toilet and shot him in the back of the head, Wei Ran also dragged in the body that had just been shot dead by Hela and shot him again.

At the same time, the Kajianka sisters, who had just cleaned out an occupied room, bypassed the room they were responsible for and rushed to the last room in the corridor.

A moment later, amid the barely audible sound of gunfire, the two sisters came out, each holding a gun.

While they were clearing this floor, the two Hela girls, under Asma's command, reached the roof of the auditorium, bypassed the two bodies on the roof that were shot dead by their companions outside the fence, and lay on the roof, pointing their guns at the two villas on the left and right sides.

While the people in the auditorium were busy with revenge and killing, Hela, who stayed outside the wall, was reminded by her friends in her headphones who were thousands of miles away and whom she had never met before, and she shot down one security guard after another who followed the patrol route and came around the auditorium.

Similarly, every time they killed someone, Hela, who was hiding at the back door of the auditorium, would drag the body into the auditorium for a second round of shooting.

After dealing with the enemies in the auditorium, Wei Ran and the others went downstairs as quickly as possible, following the shadow of the building and going around to the villa on the right side of the auditorium where the lights were still on.

"There are two bodyguards standing at the door," Anfisa whispered, "and these are the last two."

"Shoot him to death," Wei Ran gave the order in a low voice.

As soon as he released the send button, the two security guards collapsed to the ground with weak knees. At the same time, the two Hela girls on the top of the auditorium reached out in unison to grab the hot shell thrown out by the extractor.

Looking downstairs again, Wei Ran and others walked almost swaggeringly to the door of the villa with lights on.

After the two Hela girls helped open the door, Wei Ran, Jima, the Kajianka sisters, and several Hela girls brought by Asma also walked into the first floor at the same time, each holding a VSS sniper rifle with the scope removed.

Under the bright chandeliers, there were still a few men and women in their forties and fifties chatting about something on this floor.

They even showed a momentary curiosity and disgust towards Wei Ran and others who suddenly opened the door and came in, but they did not feel any fear at all - until Wei Ran and the other three pulled the trigger!

Amid the dense sound of gunfire, one figure after another arrived at the bottom. The exquisite goblets they were holding in their hands did not attract anyone's attention because of the soothing piano music that was still playing and the thick red carpet under their feet.

After a round of firing, Jima raised his gun and shot dead a man who was walking down from the upstairs. The two Hela girls guarded the elevator door. After it was opened, they directly shot dead a middle-aged woman pushing a service cart inside, and used her body to block the elevator.

Stepping over the still fresh corpses, a group of young men and women holding guns and covering each other came to the second floor, and with a second round of concentrated fire, killed several men and women in pajamas who were still chatting in the reception room on the second floor.

It was still Miss Hela guarding the stairs, and it was still Wei Ran and the other three cleaning the rooms one by one.

Compared to the auditorium, the targets in this villa had even less ability to resist. Even the entire revenge process, at least for Wei Ran, was completely "boring".

There was no decent resistance, no vigilance, no big noise, and even the people killed were always middle-aged men and women around 40 years old.

But compared to these, what concerned Wei Ran and others more was that they had fought their way from the first floor to the third floor, but had not encountered any of the 17 people on the revenge list!
"It seems that this is the guest building," Ji Ma said almost certainty after killing the last person in the last room on the third floor.

"Your judgment came at the right time."

Wei Ran urged as he replaced the magazine of his weapon, "Let's get rid of the people in the last villa quickly."

The rest of the people naturally had no objection. They turned around and went downstairs, went around the auditorium to the side of another villa, and then crouched down with their guns close to their waists and went around to the door.

It was still Ji Ma who pried open the locked door. The architectural structure here was similar to that of the villa opposite.

This undoubtedly facilitated their revenge, and they became more and more skilled in killing people from the first floor up, room by room.

This time, they finally met the people mentioned in the revenge list again and again.

It's like a kind of Russian roulette or Forrest Gump's multi-flavored chocolate chips. No one knows who lives in the room they are responsible for until they open the door and pull the trigger.

Compared to Wei Ran, Ji Ma was secretly praying that he would not meet the children on the list.

I don’t know if it was because of his occasionally devout faith, or because the wedding was approaching and the atmosphere was festive, but he didn’t encounter any children throughout the whole process.

The first person to draw the child was Anfisa. In the room she opened was a little girl who was already asleep. She looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

After just a quick look with the flashlight to confirm the target, Anfisa pulled the trigger and shot the opponent in the heart without any hesitation.

"despair!"

Following another gunshot, Anfisa pointed the muzzle of the gun at the target's forehead and pulled the trigger for the second time. She then carefully checked the closet, under the bed, in the bathroom and even on the balcony outside the window.

After making sure she hadn't missed anyone, she simply walked out of the room.

At the same time, those who drew the worst lot included Anfia, Asma and Wei Ran.

Especially Wei Ran, when he opened a door, in the room, besides a couple sleeping soundly in bed, there was also a Samoyed wagging its tail at him particularly enthusiastically.

There was a group photo hanging on the wall behind the Samoyed. The person standing between the couple in the photo was the youngest of the target persons.

"despair!"

Wei Ran pulled the trigger at the Samoyed, then walked to the bedside and pulled the trigger at the couple who were awakened and had not yet figured out what was going on.

With an expressionless face, he put the muzzle of the gun to his forehead and fired the second shot. As usual, Wei Ran checked under the bed, in the cloakroom and in the bathroom. He then opened the door to the suite and turned on the light.

Under the slightly yellowish warm light, a little boy wearing pajamas, who looked no more than six or seven years old, was lying on the bed.

There was a large damp water stain in the middle of the big bed and at the crotch of the little boy's pants, and the room was inevitably filled with a faint smell of urine.

"Don't wet the bed in your next life." Before Wei Ran finished his words, he raised his hand expressionlessly and pulled the trigger, and completed the follow-up shot and room inspection with extreme care.

As for the so-called bottom line, his bottom line has never been the children but Sui Sui and his family.

Since the other party has set his sights on Su Su, it is tantamount to breaking his bottom line.

However, when they successfully fought their way to the third floor again, and even found the office mentioned by Uncle Big Ear Chabu's men on the way here, and pried open the hidden safe, the oldest person on the revenge list and his son were not found!
"Will they happen to be away from home today?"

Jima asked as he shoved the things he found in the safe into his backpack.

In addition to the USB drive that Uncle Chabu wanted, this safe also contained a lot of cash and a whole tray of gold bars.

In addition to these, this one is big enough to fit in a child's safe and contains a cell phone that is not turned on.

"If he's not home, just wait for him. He'll come home eventually."

Wei Ran picked up the phone and asked, "Uncle Chabu didn't say he wanted a phone, right?"

"No," Ji Ma shook his head.

Hearing this, Wei Ran handed the phone directly to Anfia, who immediately opened her sister's backpack, took out a lead blanket that could block the signal, carefully wrapped the phone, and stuffed it back into the bag.

"Let's clean up the battlefield while there's still time."

Wei Ran ordered, "Move all the bodies to the auditorium. I want to hold a meeting for them."

“It’s hard work.”

Ji Ma said this, but it did not stop him from leaving the office with a backpack full of yellow and white things, walking into a room, picking up the corpse and throwing it directly off the balcony.

While Wei Ran and Ji Ma were leading the Hela girls to carry all the bodies from the two villas into the auditorium little by little, the Kajianka sisters also cut off the network of the sanatorium and began to clean up the archives in the monitoring system and the remote-controlled cars they had previously set up.

Just when Wei Ran and Ji Ma, together with a dozen Hela girls, carried all the bodies into the auditorium and asked them to sit in the audience seats, Hela girl who was lying on the roof of the auditorium suddenly gave a reminder.

"Attention, there's a garage behind the auditorium, and the lights are suddenly on."

When this sentence reached everyone's ears, Wei Ran and Jima, who were arranging positions for the bodies in the auditorium's auditorium, the Kajianka sisters who were in the monitoring room on the second floor of the auditorium, and the Hela girls led by Asma immediately put down their work, picked up their guns and ran to the back door of the auditorium.

Almost as they walked out the back door, the roller shutter door of the garage closest to them in the row of garages behind the auditorium slowly rolled up.

Immediately afterwards, a sightseeing electric car that could seat about ten people drove out.

What shocked Wei Ran was that there were several people in uniforms and white coats sitting in the car!
"Catch those in the car alive!"

Before Wei Ran finished his words, he had already pulled the trigger at the driver of the sightseeing bus!
