"So wait, there should be results tomorrow." Lin Rui whispered. Scarface nodded, turned around and went to rest. In the dark night, the lonely attic, and the mercenaries waiting for dawn, the sound of the patrol car in the distance seemed a little faint. Lin Rui sat like a stone statue in a hard-to-find corner of the balcony, sitting until dawn. It is really safe here.

The next day, Lin Rui and the brothers ate some dry food and canned food hastily, and began to arrange the next tasks. In fact, after preliminary discussions yesterday, they already have a plan to split into three teams for reconnaissance. But they have to pass through the 7.4km city. Lin Rui divided up his brothers into groups, and then set off separately, hoping to detect the situation near the federal office area, especially the secret agency headquarters hidden inside the federal office area.

Sergey took a group of people, and Scarface and Lin Rui also took a group of people to set off. These three groups were divided into three directions and moved towards the Federal Office.

Lin Rui was a little surprised by the sights he saw along the way. There were not many pedestrians on the street. But most of them are soldiers or members of paramilitary organizations—militia organizations formed by citizens, chanting radical slogans in the streets. Defend the Federation to the death, long live the Federation! The camera surveillance on the streets and alleys seemed to be watching everything with indifferent eyes. Military vehicles pass by from time to time on the road, and the speakers on the side of the road are constantly playing provocative speeches by federal officials and the mighty march of military music.

Flags flying everywhere, graffiti on the wall, dry blood on the side of the road. Yelena whispered, "Some scenes in this place remind me of the extremely turbulent country. But the secret society has held this turmoil firmly in its hands."

"They are masters of playing with and manipulating people's hearts." Lin Rui whispered. "What the secret society needs is the turmoil of people's hearts, and everyone has no sense of security. The whistleblowing system, secret police, and forced labor camps all strengthen this kind of uneasiness. Under high pressure, everyone is in danger and will be unconsciously guided by them. Move closer to them. Become their cannon fodder in their foreign campaigns. Through brainwashing propaganda, these people think that they are fighting for the Federation and fighting for their own survival."

"Like Germany during World War II." Yelena whispered.

Lin Rui nodded silently, but they ran into trouble after only a few hundred meters. Several military vehicles stopped in front, checking the documents of the people passing by.

Lin Rui and the others could only stop. Although they were wearing the uniforms of the internal guards, they had their certificates in their arms. But they all understand that although this document can be concealed by the naked eye, it cannot withstand machine verification. A Union soldier is holding a scanning gun, checking the codes of the documents one by one.

"What to do?" Yelena whispered.

"I can only find a way to get around." Lin Rui whispered, "Fortunately, as long as you don't pass the checkpoint, no one will take the initiative to question the internal guards."

Just turned around to make a detour, but soon Lin Rui stopped again and said in a low voice while pressing the earphones, "I understand, if it doesn't work, don't force it. Withdraw first."

"What's wrong?" Yelena asked in a low voice.

"Reported by Scarface, they also encountered the same problem. Moreover, several surrounding alleys were blocked. They couldn't move forward at all." Lin Rui whispered. "I don't think our situation here will be any better."

"They blocked the whole city?" Yelena said in surprise. "What about the citizens here?"

"Citizens need a pass to pass the checkpoints, and there are special agencies that issue such passes. The same is true for the military and police. Without authorization, they can only perform duties in their own activity areas and have no right to cross the border. The entire city is almost a large military camp. I now understand why Zhao Jianfei thinks this place is difficult to penetrate." Lin Rui whispered.

"Then what shall we do?" Yelena looked around.

"Let's see if there is any other passable method. If it doesn't work, we can only abandon this reconnaissance operation and find another way." Lin Rui whispered. Several team members nodded and followed Lin Rui from the side of the road to the nearby area, only to find that, as Scarface said, the surrounding roads were all closed. It seems that most of the urban areas are left with only main roads. The other branch roads were almost completely blocked, with high concrete walls and barbed wire. Overcoming such obstacles in broad daylight is not difficult for them, but it is a very conspicuous thing. It's hard not to attract attention in this area with eyeliner all around.

Lin Rui decided to evacuate after several minutes of consideration. "Let's go, let's withdraw first." Lin Rui whispered.

"Withdraw? Our mission this time is reconnaissance." Yelena said in a low voice, "Don't talk about reconnaissance like this, even the destination is not reached."

"Because, this is not a correct way. We underestimate the situation." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "We can indeed break through, but this will expose our whereabouts. Do you know what it means to be exposed in such a closed area? ? Means that the secret agency can immediately lock which area we are in. They have some people who have the resources to conduct a thorough search of any place in the city. As long as we are found, we don’t want to leave alive.”

"Okay, but I have to say that such a task is really depressing." Sausage whispered.

"Shut up and keep up with the formation. We better not let anyone see any flaws." Lin Rui whispered. The group of them withdrew back. But at this distance, they encountered two patrol vehicles along the way. Although they were not intercepted and questioned because of the uniforms of the internal guards. But it was enough to start them in a cold sweat, and it seemed that the level of vigilance was still quite high even outside the federal office.

After returning to the hiding place, Lin Rui found that the other two teams had also returned, and he could see that their results were not good.

"There are people everywhere, we can't even pass the second street crossing." Sergey shook his head.

"So are we, this place is almost impermeable." Scarface said in a low voice, "In order to avoid being found, we can only withdraw early. Otherwise, we will try again at noon. The afternoon sun will make people tired. Maybe their defense will have loopholes."

"I don't think so." Lin Rui shook his head. "Let's not say whether they will relax. If we can temporarily be safe by relying on the uniforms on our bodies. Then if several internal guards appear frequently in the same place. An area is enough to attract the attention of the guards. Any disguise used too frequently, there is a danger of exposure."
