Jimmy indeed considered a plausible possibility, but the scope was too vast. For those Aricans who had experienced the Cold War, having so doomsday enthusiasts was quite normal. In fact, there were nurous companies that thrived on building doomsday shelters, and so even specialized in customizing survival tools and furniture needed for these shelters. In short, if this was their direction for the investigation, no matter how many people they had, it would be useless because many wouldn't disclose that they had a shelter.
Nevertheless, since they had already discovered the first shelter, more would certainly be encountered later, serving as an alternative direction, at least. It's unclear how Agent Raymond and his team would approach this.
Jimmy and Mahong waited by the car for over ten minutes. Finally, three DHS agents returned, but the other two individuals didn't follow. It seed they managed to co to a temporary understanding, though any ensuing actions remained uncertain.
After exchanging greetings, they resud their search, waiting for the support helicopter to notify them of any anomalies again. Until notified, they could only drive slowly along the road, observing the surrounding environnt.
However, all efforts were in vain. Unsure if it was because the opposing side hid well during the day, by nightfall, none of the targets reported by the helicopter resembled the ard personnel they described. They primarily stumbled upon camps of locals or holess individuals.
There's no denying that helicopters are genuinely advantageous. In Jimmy's previous cases, opportunities to use helicopters were scarce. Experiencing it this ti felt pretty great; their visual range was far quicker and broader compared to ground searches. The only trouble was that rely three helicopters provided support, with only one nearby Jimmy and his team.
Of course, during the night, rests were necessary. Being temporarily assigned, Jimmy and Mahong hadn't even brought spare clothing, so they couldn't camp here. Consequently, arrangents were made for them to find a hotel in the city to rest for the night and purchase personal items. anwhile, others organized shifts for duty in case any ergency calls or clues were discovered by other officers.
Two of the three helicopters also entered a rest phase, and they would rotate into standby mode until the alert status was canceled.
After booking hotel rooms and buying spare clothes, Jimmy and Mahong promptly entered rest mode. Jimmy, having maintained heart eye status for most of the day, wasn't exactly tired. Still, the ntal pressure was inevitable, making any extended rest a good thing. Tomorrow, they'd be at full capacity, and he wished to avoid continuous exhaustion across two days without adequate rest.
The following day, Jimmy and Mahong arrived at the temporary command center, which was packing up for departure.
Jimmy found Raymond: "Agent Raymond, are we relocating?"
Raymond replied, "Yes, we received news last night; soone reported encountering individuals dressed like Special Forces in Snow City, where there aren't any military garrisons. We suspect soone already broke through our blockade and is nearing Lake Ontario."
Confused, Jimmy asked, "Where is Snow City? Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with other cities in New York State."
Raymond explained, "It's close to Lake Ontario, just west of here, though so distance away. They most likely acquired transportation. I've contacted local police and FBI for supportive investigations, hoping we can intercept them before they reach Lake Ontario."
After speaking, Raymond resud organizing materials. Nearby, agents were dismantling tents, and tankers began preheating, preparing to depart.
Jimmy and Mahong had no choice but to follow. However, while observing the convoy ford by the special departnt, Jimmy felt their actions were sowhat presumptuous.
The opposition was a rcenary corps; regardless of the type, there were certainly combat personnel, intelligence officers, and even reconnaissance mbers involved.
Given the DHS's ostentatious actions, their reconnaissance personnel surely received the news, or their informants at least. Raymond's plan to investigate closely in Snow City could prompt the opposition to prepare in advance, bypass Snow City, or shift directions entirely.
Yet, since Jimmy wasn't the head of this operation, he couldn't mobilize others. He rely followed along, knowing he wasn't primarily responsible for the outco. So be it.
Increasingly, Jimmy felt the DHS's thods were flawed. While their encirclent strategy might deal with typical urban cri, facing professional war hounds demanded a different approach. The opposition had clear divisions of labor, detailed escape plans, and, thus far, none had been caught. With minimal leads, it was clear they were set on not entering any cities, solely escaping through the wilderness, evading all potential surveillance points.
Their plans were obvious and thoroughly executed. Against such criminals, traditional police blockades and searches were ineffective due to insufficient manpower. re roadblocks posed little challenge to those accustod to maneuvering in the wild.
Except for occasional encounters with others in the wilderness, they virtually vanished. New temporary command centers were redeployed by Raymond in Snow City's outskirts, re-contacting various police dispatch centers, though no new information erged again.
