At six o 'clock in the evening, the sky was getting darker.
Compared with the bustling city of Yoto, Yokosuka was much quieter.
A black Volkswagen stopped at the entrance of Mikasa Park. After an Asian man got out of the car, he stopped at the entrance of the park for a moment, and soon walked into the park like other tourists.
Mikasa Park faced the Yokosuka Port. The park was widely planted with various flowers and trees. It was famous for its beautiful scenery, but it was named after a battleship that had been abandoned for almost a century. The Mikasa battleship was built by the British Vickers Shipyard in 1900 and named after Mount Mikasa. It fought as the flagship of the joint fleet in the Russo-Japanese War and played a decisive role.
The rusty battleship was repainted to serve as a sign to attract tourists. Next to the 305 cannon, there were still girls or boys cosplaying as the ship's women. The nearby vendors also kept up with the times and sold posters of the ship's women or other peripherals. As for the small souvenirs of the old era, most of them had been swept into the grave of history and were left in the corner to collect dust.
Unlike other people, the Asian man went straight through the park and into the depths of the woods.
Few tourists would choose to go for an outing in the woods at night, but he was an exception.
After entering the woods, he looked around and saw that no one followed, then he pressed on his collar.
Digital ripples spread from the tip of his nose to the surroundings. After the distortion of light and shadow, the true face behind the optical camouflage was revealed.
If there were any reporters standing there, they would definitely scream out loud.
Because he was none other than the president of Celestial Trade, Jiang Chen.
He went straight to the back of the park and looked at the port on the other side of the sea. Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Is it just in front?"
Directly in front of him was the military base of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. On the other side of the Maritime Self-Defense Force was the central island – Hakone. It was the military base of the UA Navy stationed in Nippon and the place where the Seventh Fleet was currently docked. If you opened Google Maps, it would be an invisible gray area, and only rough terrain contour lines could be seen.
However, for Celestial Trade's Sky Eye X1 observation satellite, there was no problem.
Where the patrol team was now, Jiang Chen probably knew better than the UA soldiers themselves.
The reason why they chose the faraway Mikasa Park as the entry point was mainly because the security here was relatively lax. Most importantly, the number of tourists here was relatively large, and the people were mixed together. It was more convenient to fish in troubled waters.
He put on the amphibious K2 kinetic skeleton in the woods on the shore and threw the clothes into the storage dimension. He stood on the beach to warm up and grinned as he looked at the Navy port not far away.
"I hope we can find something good this time."
This was his second time infiltrating an American military base.
The last time was Area 51 in Nevada.
The cold seawater was isolated by the fully-enclosed kinetic skeleton. Jiang Chen jumped into the sea and swam fifty meters toward the deep water. Then he took out a missile-shaped underwater thruster from the storage dimension, grabbed the handrail, and rode on it.
A series of fine bubbles ejected from the turbine behind the thruster and propelled the thruster and Jiang Chen forward. They bypassed the Maritime Self-Defense Force's military port and headed toward the UA military base.
Important military facilities such as the Yokosuka port usually had underwater sonar monitoring the nearby waters 24 hours a day, as well as underwater patrols by their own frogmen to prevent hostile frogmen or submersibles from approaching. However, it was not a problem for Jiang Chen. The 21st century's monitoring method, like sonar, was no different from a blind man in front of the anti-sonar coating of the amphibious new K2 kinetic skeleton and its thruster.
As for the patrolling frogmen …
They had to be able to see them.
Jiang Chen, who was already close to the edge of the port, retracted the thruster into the storage dimension, hid behind the reef, and avoided the two patrolling UA divers. After confirming that the two frogmen had gone far, Jiang Chen swam out from behind the reef and slowly slid his flippers up and down. He was careful not to disturb the nearby fish as he slowly floated to the shore.
When he passed the bottom of the USS Lexington aircraft carrier, Jiang Chen hesitated and finally restrained the urge to do something on it.
Although it would be great to sink an aircraft carrier, it would do more harm than good for the overall situation. His ultimate goal was to get the entire Seventh Fleet out of Asia, not to let the UA find an excuse to salvage or repair the aircraft carrier and continue to stay here.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen threw this tempting idea to the back of his head. He slowly moved his flippers and floated to the shore of the port.
For optical invisibility, the most taboo was to change the physical environment. Especially when floating from underwater, it was the most likely moment to expose the target. However, with the Sky Eye X1 satellite's omniscient view reporting, Jiang Chen smoothly avoided the detection of the patrol.
As soon as he landed on the shore, Jiang Chen teleported to the apocalypse and dried all the water droplets on his body to prevent the water stains on the ground from exposing him. Then, after confirming through the drone that there were no patrols in his position, he teleported back to the military base again.
The sentry standing on the sentry tower leaned his sniper rifle to the side. When no one was paying attention, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He didn't notice at all that just below him, an invisible ghost slowly sneaked past.
Bypassing the sentry tower, Jiang Chen carefully avoided the infrared sensors hidden on the wall, moved ten meters close to the warehouse where the navy supplies were stored, and hid in the blind spot of the UA sentry patrol route. He carefully took out the tablet from the storage dimension, threw out four Hummingbird drones, and flew in different directions.
The next question was where the servers might be.
The worst case scenario was that they hadn't been transported into the military base yet, and he, who rushed here, unfortunately didn't find them.
However, this possibility was very small, and Jiang Chen believed in his intuition.
What's more, if he stood in the position of a senior CIB and took the risk of being discovered, he decisively abandoned Mitsui Hiroto, an important informant. Then he must believe that the Ghost Agents must have traced something along Mitsui Hiroto, but he wasn't sure how far the investigation went.
Then there seemed to be only one option left in front of him, and that was to put those servers into the naval base as soon as possible, especially the base where the Seventh Fleet was docked. Because in the entire Nippon, apart from the seemingly safe embassy with full diplomatic immunity, the only safest place was the military base.
As for where these servers were placed …
There seemed to be no better choice than to use the stupid method of searching the warehouses one by one.
Just as Jiang Chen was patiently controlling the drones, looking for windows in the warehouses, and then scanning the containers of navy supplies, two gray cars stopped in front of the checkpoint of the military base. After they showed their documents, they were allowed by the UA soldiers.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting against the wall and controlling the drone with the tablet, suddenly noticed the satellite image that he had shrunk to the lower right corner. At the location of the main entrance of the military base, two dazzling white dots suddenly appeared in the thermal imaging image, moving along the main road to the center of the military base.
Jiang Chen stopped the drone that was scanning the containers, clicked a few times on the screen, and switched the camera to the drone closest to the two heat sources.
"Two gray cars … civilian license plate numbers?"
Using the light from the street lamps, Jiang Chen noticed the license plates of the two cars. Staring at the tablet, he was surprised.
If he remembered correctly, the special vehicles of some government departments such as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as the vehicles of the UA military stationed there, all had relatively special license plates. And these two cars with civilian license plates were able to drive straight into the military base, which was a bit intriguing.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, controlled the drone, and floated in the air to follow them from afar.
The two cars stopped in front of a barracks in the center of the military base. Four UA men in suits got off the car in the lead. Jiang Chen connected to the database of Ghost Agents, pointed the drone's lens at the UA man in the lead, and whispered into the headset.
"Lilith, help me identify him."
In the AR interface inside the tactical eyepiece, the icon in the lower right corner flickered slightly.
Soon, a familiar electronic sound came into his ear.
"Roger."
