Early morning, Thames River, MI6 headquarters building
The shape of the headquarters building of MI6 is somewhere between an ancient Babylonian pyramid and a power plant. It does not look very outstanding. There are only 7 floors above ground, but the underground part is huge. The 8th floor where the vault is located should actually be
underground.
During the morning rush hour, this place is no different from other big cities in the world. The viaducts are jammed with cars, ferries run from time to time on the Thames, and mi6 employees, like ordinary office workers, enter the building one after another, passing strict regulations.
Security, enter their respective positions.
A ferry passed by, and its bow swung away the garbage floating on the water. Under the river, in the dark water, two black figures with diving equipment overcame the buoyancy of the water and swam slowly toward the depths.
The two black figures kept swimming until one of them saw a section of pipe exposed outside the river bed.
Owen pointed his finger, and then pointed at the pipe. Swag gestured OK to show his understanding, and the two of them swam toward the pipe quietly.
Under the dark water, the noise was much quieter. When they reached the pipe, the two took out the underwater welding gun. Orange-red flames appeared and the two began to cut the pipe.
After a while, a hole for one person to drill through was cut out. Owen looked at Swager, who looked at his watch, and then pointed to his ear, meaning to wait for notification.
By the Thames River, a woman was walking on the sidewalk with her child in her arms. She looked like a mother rushing with her child. A small vendor on the roadside was selling balloons. The colorful balloons quickly attracted the child's attention, and the child whined.
He screamed loudly and pointed at the balloon with excitement.
The woman walked up to the vendor and said something, seemingly asking about the price. Then the vendor took the money and handed the woman some balloons.
The child held the balloon in his hand, and the child danced excitedly, but immediately the balloon floated away because he failed to catch it.
The balloon floated higher and higher into the sky. The child cried anxiously until the woman bought him two new balloons.
The woman left with the child, and not long after, the hawker saw that there was no business and also left. If anyone who knew them was nearby, they would find that the hawker was played by Marvin, while the woman and child were Monica and her child.
In the sky, the few flying balloons seemed to be floating in the wind, and no one cared about it. Unless someone observed with a telescope, no one would notice that there seemed to be something hanging at the end of the balloon rope.
What was playing on the screen of Becky's mobile phone was the perspective from below the balloon. After a slight adjustment of the direction, the balloon had floated over the MI6 building.
No one would have thought that these flying balloons could be controlled.
Seeing the vent below, Becky pressed a button, and the rope under the balloon suddenly disconnected, and the hanging object fell into the ventilation shaft.
After more than 30 meters of free fall, the thing under the balloon successfully landed. With a squeaking sound, the little thing moved quickly. It turned out to be a miniature remote-controlled car.
Becky's screen displayed the view returned by the remote control car. After Becky's operation, the remote control car got into a ventilation duct.
This is the main vent for the entire building. All vents in the building lead here, and then the air is exchanged with the outside world through the presidential air vent above.
Originally, this place was an ideal sneaking point. If you could sneak in from here, you could follow the vents extending in all directions to reach any part of the building.
But MI6 has obviously thought of this. There is a gate and an infrared detection system installed at the top of the main vent. The gate is usually open to ensure ventilation, but once the infrared system detects an object with an area of more than one square meter passing through the ventilation
mouth, the gate will close within fifteen seconds.
The car moves forward in the pipe under Becky's control, and the signal transmitter shows where the car is in the pipe.
Finally arriving at the designated location, Becky pressed a button, and the car suddenly released a large amount of smoke. The smoke entered the house through the blinds and immediately triggered the fire alarm system.
Fire alarm sprinklers in several rooms began to spray water, and the fire alarm was also fed back to the building's master control machine through the system.
"I'm starting here, Owen, remember, you only have fifteen minutes..."
At the same time as Becky's voice sounded in the headset, Owen and Swag looked at each other next to the river pipe. Owen took off the bulky oxygen tank on his body, then put a portable respirator on his mouth and carried a luggage bag.
One end got into the pipe.
After Owen entered, Swager immediately began to use special materials to re-seal the gap to ensure the pressure balance of the pipe. The pipe Owen entered was a special fire water pipe in the MI6 building. The pipe was only as thick as a person, barely enough for one person.
It is impossible for people to get in, but it is impossible to carry oxygen bottles.
Outside, Becky watched the red dot represented by Owen on the screen moving in the pipe. The level in the fire protection system did not flow and would only cycle when a fire alarm occurred. Becky used a remote control car to create a fire alarm.
In order to make the water in the pipe flow, he can only reach the designated location within fifteen minutes by relying on the speed of the water flow.
In the closed pipe, Owen felt the water flow speeding up as soon as he was in position, and his body was carried forward quickly by the water flow. He knew that it was the fire alarm that caused the fire water to circulate.
It was pitch black in the pipe, and the pipe was barely wider than the body. In this environment, an untrained person would definitely feel desperate.
Owen closed his eyes. It didn't matter whether he opened his eyes or not at this time. There was the sound of water flowing all around. Owen tried not to let his emotions fluctuate. The portable respirator could only provide fifteen minutes of oxygen. Any emotional or physical
Any change will cause excessive consumption of oxygen.
In the room at this moment, everyone in the entire office was sprayed by the nozzle.
"Shet, what on earth is going on?"
The sprinkler head detected smoke and had no intention of stopping. However, in the eyes of the people below, the sprinkler head was simply malfunctioning because there was no open flame at the scene.
"Turn off the nozzles, Xie Te, turn off the nozzles immediately. It's a false alarm..."
The main control room received a call from the supervisor. After looking at each other, they could only forcibly turn off the nozzles from the system. The office finally became quiet, leaving only the documents soaked in water, but this caused a lot of harm to Owen in the pipe.
Owen suddenly felt that the water flow slowed down, and he thought for a moment that he had reached the designated location, but he didn't expect Becky's anxious voice to come from the headset: "Damn it, someone forcibly turned off the nozzle, give me a few seconds...
