I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 371
Advertisement
Time seemed to be going a lot slower for these men, as they had spent the past few hours rolling and dodging these incoming beams of light that seemed to change their patterns randomly.
And as the light beams moved, the guards also had to follow its path and check for any intruders as well.
Each guard tower had at least 8 people within it, so they could rotate and do their Jobs efficiently.
.
Yup!... these light beams were as big as Theater Stage lights.
Essentially, on every guard post Tower... all massive light torches were configured just like a rotating fan.
Just like how a fan's head could turn from left to right at a 180 degree bend..... likewise, the light torches were designed to move in 3 main ways: Circular, Horizontal and Vertical.
.
Of course for any circular motion, it would tilt its body in a way that would do a 360 degree clockwise or anti-clockwise sweeping motion across the fields.
And the same could be said for both vertical and horizontal movements..... as the men could choose whether to make the beams move from left to right, right to left, up and down... and so on.
.
Essentially, after the beam of light from each tower finishes one pattern movement ..... it would switch up to another pattern immediately, hence confusing the enemy greatly.
In this way, the enemy would never truly know or master how these light beams moved.
.
For example if a light torch had completed one horizontal cycle, it could either switch to a vertical or circular one.
And each day, the lead security officer in charge..... gave out 'light beam switching' schedules for how the pattern would be like to all the night workers there.
So no worker really knew how the patterns would switch up.... until a few minutes just before their work shifts started.
.
In a nutshell... Security was taken as serousi as war was, since the lower region was Baymard's main livelihood.

And all the security guards on the towers had to do..... was to control the switch on the back of the light beam, just as one would do with a fan.
.
But unlike a fan that moved at a steady pace, these beams moved like show light beams.... or helicopter chasing beams.
They were fast for those who were running around on the fields..... but not too fast for the security guards observing everything from above.
.
And as easy as switching these light patterns were for the security guards..... unbeknownst to them, they were giving hell for those who had been trying to spy on them for the past few days.
In fact right now..... those 7 men down there, all felt like ripping them into shreds and feeding their bodies to the hungry forest wolves.
What the hell?
.
For the past few hours, these masked men had been rolling, crawling, sliding, bending and doing all kinds of weird poses... just so that they could avoid those massive light beams that seem to have a mind of their own.
No matter how many times they had spied on these people over these past 3 days ..... they still couldn't memorize any moving pattern to these shooting lights.
.
Time seemed to move slowly for them, as for the past few hours... they had been going all kind of acrobatic stunts just to remain hidden as they couldn't just sit still in one spot.
Even some of them were utterly ashamed of some of the poses that they had just done.
Who knew that they could be this flexible?
Well, there were some secrets they would rather take to their grave's.... than let others know of, and this was one of them.
But before that, they would make sure to drag the person who configured this place with them.
Bloody Bastard!!!!
.
As the men continued their acrobatics, soon.... the somewhat busy region that was previously filled with vehicles leaving and coming in, finally quieted down, leaving only the sounds of crickets 'creaking' and other night insects singing their night songs merrily.

The time was now, 11:15 P.M..... and right now, all overnight workers had already begun work a while ago. (since some started at 10 P.M, while others at 11 P.M).
.
"It's time!
On 3, move out towards our target point as fast as you all can.
Smiggle!... you follow last and ensure that everyone has made it through.
And remember, don't get caught under these lights!!!" Said the leader of the 7 in a whispery tone.
"Yes boss!"
"1... ..... 2.. .....3!!!!"
'Din! Din! Din! Din!'
The race was on!!
.
The men quickly got up and ran with all their might, while trying to avoid the falling beams of light.
Some ran as if they were tackling and avoiding invisible football players on the field..... while others danced on the fields instead.
"Dammit!!.... Merek!.... dive ahead now!!!"
"Tybalt!... slide to the left!!"
"Rowan watch out!!!"
"_"
.
As they moved, Smiggle did his best to watch everyone's backs while making sure to watch his as well.
It wasn't that the men were inexperienced or unskilled.
No!... the real issue was that they had never faced anything like this in their entire lives.
Normally, they would hide on the forest trees, bushes, rocks and even on someone's roof while waiting to complete a mission.
But this was something else altogether.
.
Smiggle ran while hurriedly observing his surroundings..... and soon, just as he had expected, the light beams around him switched their paths again.
But where would they be headed to next?
Ahh they were safe... it looks like it was going to moving straight ahead instead.
Eh?
No! No! No! No!
Shit!!.... It was moving very fast in an ark-like manner instead!
"Ulric!!.... take one step back now!
Ulric!!!!"
.
Smiggle quickly hurried forward, grabbed Ulric's waist from behind..... and yanked him back with all his might, instantly making them fall to the ground.
'Blopp!'
And just when they both fell backwards, the light beam passed through..... almost touching their toes.
'Gulp!!'
"Thanks elder bro... I owe you one"
"It's too early to thank me yet.
Quickly! Quickly!..... we have to catch up to the rest now."
.
The 'Beam Dance' finally came to an end... and soon, they had already arrived at the their targeted area along the fence that they had previously scouted out.
At least for them, it was the one of the furthest spots from the main gate's entrance..... so shouldn't it also be one of the safest?
.
One should remember that the fence were exactly like prison fences, so of course one could climb up if they wanted to... hehehe hehehe.
"Tybalt!.... Terrowin!.. and Balthazar!
You 3 will climb up alongside me..... while the rest will follow directly behind us.
Now...let's move out before the hits this part of the fence again." The leader said.
And with that, they quickly took out their daggers and placed it in their mouths.
In their minds, one should always have an accessible weapon at hand.... even if they were climbing up a rock.
.
They looked at the intimidating fence that seemed to be as a little bit taller than a 2-storey building, quickly shook off all fear from within them.
It was too late for them to turn back now.... so what was the point being fearful now?
.
They quickly placed their daggers in their mouths like pirates, and started their climb just as planned.
They had to quickly make their way up, before those light beams came their way.
And even if they did, they would have to find a way to dodge them while hanging up there in the air.
Dammit!!!!!!!.... What sort of impossible mission was this?
