CHAPTER 1479: CHAPTER 1460 SONIC POSITIONING

Gao Yang had been observing those little gadgets that looked high-tech, anticipating Murphy to provide a definite answer.

Number Thirteen could directly ask Murphy, saving Gao Yang at least tens of thousands of dollars. Cleaners charge for everything, and their consultation fees are ruthlessly expensive. But given Number Thirteen and Murphy’s relationship, there wouldn’t be any charge.

Gao Yang hadn’t been seated for twenty minutes when Number Thirteen’s phone rang. Number Thirteen immediately answered the call, speaking softly, "Do you have results?"

Gao Yang didn’t know what Murphy said over the phone, and Number Thirteen maintained his ever-unchanging expression, making it impossible for Gao Yang to discern any outcomes from his face.

After quietly listening for four to five minutes, Number Thirteen silently hung up and turned to Gao Yang, saying, "There are results. This gadget is a small sonic locator emitter. You could consider it a mini sonar."

Gao Yang exhaled deeply, speaking in a serious tone, "It’s indeed a locator!"

Number Thirteen spoke softly, "It’s not a simple locator. This gadget is a sonic emitter, capable of emitting sound waves, receiving reflected waves, and sending processed electronic signals out. These signals directly display on the receiver, meaning, with these gadgets deployed, the terrain and personnel positions within the apartment can be displayed in real-time on the receiver. Walls become no obstacle, and the user seems to have X-ray vision."

Everyone wore an expression of sudden realization. Gao Yang involuntarily looked at the sonic emitter in his hand and sighed, "No wonder! Despite Andre being surrounded by top experts, they were beaten without any retaliation. The enemy was aware of their every move, holding a definite advantage."

Number Thirteen spoke softly, "It’s more than just that. As long as the initial audio data to be searched is inputted, this sonic emitter will also seek matching sounds during echo reception and display them on the receiver. This means, unless Andre doesn’t utter a single word, otherwise his traces won’t be hidden, the enemies can accurately find his location."

Gao Yang clapped his hands and then said with relief, "So that’s how it is! No wonder those people could charge directly at Andre without searching, or verifying individually. It wasn’t because there was a mole beside Andre, but because they had high-tech tools!"

Number Thirteen continued, "These gadgets are for one-time use, operational for two hours due to their high power consumption, employing specialised emitters. One is a gun, precisely launching onto target locations with minimal charges; otherwise, high muzzle velocity would destroy the delicate instrument inside, thus limiting its range to within two hundred meters. The other is a rocket used to scatter the sonic emitters through a low-explosive blast, a method suitable for larger spaces but with less precision."

Gao Yang clapped his hands loudly and exclaimed, "They launched two rockets before the attack. It matches!"

After speaking, Gao Yang suddenly grimaced as if his toothaches, "F**k! Such advanced high-tech gadgetry, it’s seemingly developed specifically for assassination operations. F**k! F**k! Don’t tell me this is exclusively American technology."

Number Thirteen remained expressionless, saying, "You guessed correctly. This isn’t America’s latest innovation; the principle was presented as early as ten years ago, but application difficulties have just been solved, meaning it has just reached its practical stage."

Gao Yang’s face was extremely unpleasant, "So you’re saying the enemy must be Americans, from either Cerberus or Butter Knife units. I’m not worried about who Djo has gathered to assist him in warfare; I’m concerned about how Djo possibly obtained such technology. How could he get it? Could it be that an active Cerberus or Butter Knife personally intervened?"

Gao Yang was extremely worried about the possibility he conjured, but Yake frowned, "How is it possible? An active Cerberus or Butter Knife? That’s ridiculous. Do you think America needs to dispatch its highest secret squads to deal with Andre?"

Pavlovich said loudly, "If it’s just about Cerberus and Butter Knife, I think this affair is Butter Knife’s doing. With these sonic locators involved, Andre’s death doesn’t warrant much surprise. A very capable team could achieve this, provided they’re formidable, but without needing to be as formidable as Cerberus or Butter Knife."

Gao Yang gently tapped the table a few times, frowning, "The problem is, how could Djo possibly get such advanced equipment? If the U.S. Army fully equipped it, or the intelligence departments widely equipped it, I wouldn’t be very surprised. But the issue is this gadget has just been developed, so how could it fall into Djo’s hands?"

Number Thirteen was silent for a moment before saying softly, "Murphy doesn’t know, and I can’t guess."

Yake said loudly, "I think it’s simple. Djo is an arms dealer, but not an ordinary one. He is the world’s largest arms dealer, primarily dealing in American equipment. In Libya, Syria, many hotspots have American presence. If America wants to transport any weapon, it won’t do it directly; instead, they use Djo to arm their intended recipients. In such relations, I don’t think Djo has difficulty acquiring something advanced that doesn’t affect the big picture."

Gao Yang carefully pondered Yake’s words, thinking of the influence worked by Grand Ivan in Russia; there’s no reason Djo, on par with Grand Ivan, couldn’t manage it.

Gao Yang nodded, saying loudly, "Good, let’s assume that Djo got the most advanced indoor combat equipment and then used it."

After speaking, Gao Yang remained silent for a long time, continuing to examine the sonic emitter in his hand for a long while before suddenly saying, "I was thinking, even with this gadget, even knowing Andre’s location, the apartment’s internal structure, all personnel’s positions and even movements, can we penetrate the defenses directly and kill Andre? Can we achieve it?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, then Li Jinfang, with a somber face, said, "We can achieve it, but we will suffer casualties. There are over fifty genuinely skilled individuals in there; we’d be lucky to complete it with half of our force surviving."

Pavlovich said softly, "We can’t achieve it now, but twenty years ago it would definitely be possible."

Gao Yang looked at Pavlovich and said, "If we join forces? Satan and Black Demon operating simultaneously, could we do it?"

Pavlovich nodded and said, "No problem!"

Gao Yang sighed, "Indeed, this suggests Djo has a super capable team somewhere that excels in assassination operations." (To be continued.
