Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 384 - 185: Intelligence! Intelligence! Intelligence!

Zeng Dan said a few words in succession. Once he received affirmative responses from the command center and Shi Zhengmin, he gave a look to the two captains, and both sides understood each other silently. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Move out!"

On Zhang Wenjun’s command, all SWAT officers raised their guns to their chests, slung their shields, and formed a double-column formation. Only three SWAT officers remained on guard at the front, middle, and back, swiftly heading to the location Lingxi had sniffed out where the main suspect had lingered before.

Since the main suspects were forced to the west side by the main force, and the central and left joint units were encircling from the flank, theoretically, returning the same way was extremely low risk.

At full speed, Gu Ji and his team reached the dispersed point of the criminal gang in just ten minutes.

"Lingxi, it’s up to you now, sniff well!"

"All SWAT team members, conduct a grid search on site!"

"Yes!"

The team Wu Kang was in had an experienced veteran from the Wuxuan District SWAT assault squad as its captain. For ease of management, Zhang Wenjun, with a higher rank and position, was temporarily in charge of unified action, dividing the group into A and B teams.

Everyone held high-power flashlights, fanned out in the bushes, carefully searching for traces left by the criminals.

Suddenly, Gao Bo called out to Gu Ji.

"Hey, look over there, are there traces of footsteps in that grass?"

"Sharp eyes, it does look like footprints from the criminals!"

Gu Ji shone the light over and indeed saw a small pathway trampled in the grass, and he reported the situation to Zhang Wenjun.

Zeng Dan and his team immediately brought police dogs over. The SWAT trainer led Lingxi to the area with criminal activity traces. As it focused on the footprints, the trainer touched the footprints again for Lingxi to sniff twice, utilizing the dog’s quest response to strengthen its scent memory.

Soon, Lingxi’s expression changed, its tail wagging incessantly, suddenly charging forward.

"Let’s go, follow!"

Zhang Wenjun lowly commanded, and the team regrouped behind the police dog.

Zeng Dan, a seasoned national security operative, had Lingxi tracking in a direction identical to her prior judgment of the northwest side. After tracking roughly a kilometer, Gu Ji’s ears subtly moved, faintly sensing activity from the right rear of the team.

Their tactical headsets allowed for simultaneous instantaneous pulse, meaning gunfire and explosion noise reduction while keeping the environmental pickup function on, enabling them to hear subtle surrounding sounds—this is known as closed-loop noise reduction.

"Zhang Zhong, there’s movement on the right rear!"

"I heard it too."

"It could be Mr. Shi and the national security team, identify allies!"

Upon Zhang Wenjun’s words, Wu Kang, at the end of the team, immediately flashed his high-power flashlight twice towards the sound source, and almost instantly, two white flashes responded in the darkness.

"It’s really them!"

"Mr. Zhang, you all worked hard!"

The team slowed down and finally merged. Dressed in a black jacket and holding a Type 92 pistol, Shi Zhengmin led the way, followed by two tactical teams, one consisting of eight SWAT officers.

Upon spotting a familiar Type 88 sniper rifle, Gao Bo tentatively called out "Zhou Yang."

Unexpectedly, the SWAT sniper actually responded.

"Wow, what a coincidence, it’s really Zhou Yang!"

Compared to Gao Bo’s excitement, Gu Ji gave a symbolic "hmm" sound. It wasn’t that he didn’t welcome Zhou Yang; his attention was entirely drawn to the personnel nearby.

Indeed, the other tactical team led by Shi Zhengmin consisted of soldiers dressed similarly to the Armed Police Force, but their camo resembled more like the frog skin pattern of the MC camouflage. Most importantly, their shoulder patches did not say Ningzhou Armed Police but Ningzhou Military Region!

The equipment varied greatly. Compared to regular armed police, they seemed more like SWAT armed police.

Most soldiers wore FAST helmets fitted with a GW89 low-light night vision device, and one soldier was equipped with a QGF11 composite carbon fiber tactical helmet, a replica of France’s LUCIE night vision goggles. Paired with this was one of Xia Kingdom’s most advanced individual combat weapons: the QTS11 assault strategic rifle.

Its appearance resembles the XM-29 developed by Germany and the United States, with a 5.8mm caliber, developed based on Xia Kingdom’s QBZ-03 rifle. It not only has the unique performance of an assault rifle, capable of high-density firing, but also includes a 20mm programmable multi-purpose grenade launcher, equipped with a computerized guided aiming system, offering high precision. The grenade can reach a range of 700 meters, currently only deployed on a small scale within the Marine Corps and special forces.

Setting aside the PF-98 120mm rocket launcher or the 12.7mm heavy machine gun, this represents the pinnacle of individual firepower, nearly capable of 360-degree no-dead-angle crushing of any criminals.

However, judging by the formation, the group wasn’t centered on him for combat. Alongside another sniper wielding a "Type 26" sniper rifle, they appeared to protect a dark-skinned young soldier second to last in the group.

This soldier appeared as a communication operator, with a flat panel-like item on his chest system without a large amount of ammunition, and a bulging military green backpack on his back. Extending from it was a half-meter long, child-arm-thick dark green foam antenna.

Recalling the military science books and shooting games from before, Gu Ji couldn’t help but have his pupils contract slightly.

Could this be a backpack-style signal intelligence system?

He remembered that the United States Marine Corps Special Operations Command had once released photos revealing a backpack module named Joint Threat Warning System. This intelligence system offered a certain degree of geolocation and communication interception capabilities, implying they could determine the source of radio frequency emissions in any environment. If it involved unsecured radio or other communication voice types, they could listen to it.
