Chapter 161 - The Squad Leader’s Helplessness
The squad leader forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and had no choice but to give another order.
Now that the robbers had just changed their lanes, it was not too late to give the order.
They still had a chance.
“Roger!”
“Roger!”
After the squad leader’s order was given, a response was quickly sent from the other side.
After that.
Everyone stared at the surveillance screen.
They watched as the robbers’ car drove along Third Avenue without any obstruction.
Now, everyone in the temporary command room noticed that something was wrong.
Florida was already one of the most prosperous states in the United States.
Third Avenue was the road leading to the center of the city, and it was inevitable that the robbers would be stuck in the traffic congestion.
However, after the robber’s car entered Third Avenue, there was no traffic jam on Third Avenue.
Something was really wrong.
At first, the squad leader thought that the robbers were lucky that nothing to stop them driving smoothly along the way.
But as the technicians kept switching the surveillance cameras.
The squad leader had confirmed that something was wrong!
Because the robbers’ vehicle did not encounter a single red light on the way.
All of them were green lights.
And the strangest thing was that after the robbers’ vehicle passed, all of these green lights turned red immediately.
This was simply ridiculous!
At this time, the search team had already arrived at Third Avenue.
But not long after turning into Third Avenue, the search team realized that something was wrong.
Because the traffic light ahead was always red.
And when the police arrived, there were already a lot of cars stuck in front of the traffic light.
The most important thing was that the emergency lane had already been occupied by cars.
Even if the police car kept honking, they didn’t make way at all.
This scene made the search team feel helpless.
They could only wait for the red light.
But after a long time, the traffic light did not change.
At this time, the number of cars congested the road increased again. They surrounded the police cars in the middle and could not move at all.
“Sir, after we entered Third Avenue, there seems to be a problem with the traffic light. The traffic light didn’t turn green.”
“And the emergency lane has been occupied. There is no way to pass now.”
The team captain of Team B picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to report the situation to the temporary command room.
“Roger!”
The squad leader replied and did not continue, because he did not know how to deploy the operation.
The Search Team B did not receive any orders and could only wait helplessly.
Right now, they were in a dilemma.
In front of them was an intersection, the traffic light was always red, and the road that crossed Third Avenue was always green.
Because there was a lot of traffic, there were a lot of cars on the road.
Therefore, the cars on Third Avenue couldn’t even run a red light.
Right now, they could only pray that the robbers also encountered such a situation and couldn’t get out.
“Oh, f*ck! What’s going on with this road? I’ve drive Third Avenue countless times, but there has never been such a situation. Why did it break down during the drill? Quickly ask the traffic department what’s going on.”
In the temporary command room.
The squad leader finally cursed.
He was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
After all, the police were about to catch up with the robbers, but the traffic light suddenly malfunctioned at this time.
He could only watch as the robbers drove further and further away. How could he stand it!
“I’ll contact the traffic department immediately.” a special police officer in front of the control panel saw the anger on the squad leader’s face and quickly replied.
Then, he used the communication device on the control panel to contact the traffic department.
Two minutes later, the special police officer put down the communication device and reported, “Sir, the traffic control department said that their traffic light mainframe was hacked.”
“All the traffic lights on Third Avenue have been changed to debug mode. They are repairing it now, but it will take some time!”
After hearing this report, the squad leader’s face became even more furious.
“So, whether the traffic lights on Third Avenue are red or green, it is up to the robbers to decide?”
The mainframe had been hacked, so it was obvious that the robbers had done it.
Originally, the traffic lights, cameras, and other resources should had assisted the police to pursue after the robbers.
But the traffic lights on Third Avenue were under the control of the robbers.
It allowed them to travel unhindered.
On the other hand, when the police search team entered Third Avenue, they were immediately stuck with the traffic lights.
If they waited for the traffic department to finish repairing the traffic lights, the robbers would have run far away.
The squad leader looked at the surveillance footage and sighed helplessly.
At the same time, he was thinking about what to do now.
In the temporary command room, all the police officers had solemn expressions on their faces.
After all, it could be said that they were very close to the robbers this time.
As long as they worked hard, they would be able to capture the robbers.
Under such circumstances, if the robbers still escaped, then the Florida State Police Department would lose a lot of face.
Up until now, the police had not been able to gain the slightest advantage in capturing the robbers.
They had been led by the nose the entire time.
This made all the police officers in the police station feel a shadow in their hearts.
In the livestream.
“Good heavens, I really didn’t expect Jon to control the traffic lights. If 10 is the highest score, I will give this operation a solid 9.”
“This operation is really awesome. Look at how pissed off our squad leader is.”
“I bet he never saw this coming, the traffic light should have been helpful to the police. After all, in an emergency, the police could run a red light. But now, the traffic light has become the assistant of the robbers.”
“This is too f*cking annoying. I bet the squad leader is having a psychological trauma right now”
“It’s really hard to tell how frustrated the squad leader is. But you can tell by looking at his face. It’s probably pretty rough for him.”
“Please be a person. The squad leader is already so miserable, and you’re still teasing him?”
“The poor squad leader is having a hard time. After accepting the position of commander, he finally understood how troublesome the robbers were.”
“Now it seems that although the commander was killed by Jon and withdrew from the drill, now that I look at it, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing for the commander. At least he could break free from this.”
“What we see, the commander was eliminated by the robbers. The truth, the commander just didn’t want to face these robbers anymore.”
“Haha, Good job.”
“But then again, is the traffic light system of the traffic department so easy to hack? Or is Jon himself a computer expert?”
“Don’t you guys know? There’s a person called Leon Evans in the robbers’ team, a computer expert.”
