Insufficient balance

  Big Head treasured a crystal glasses, the price of this glasses after discounting 85% off still reached 488 yuan, on the curved titanium alloy frame was also electroplated with a layer of 24K gold. Wearing it would make you look more elegant and refined even if you were a professional rogue, pervert, bandit or evil tyrant. It's said that Big Head planned to use this glasses when he went back to his hometown to pretend to be elegant and deceive naive girls.

  So I and Zhang Sun Ting stole it out, just to substitute heaven and save an ignorant girl who was about to face a miserable fate.

  Chang Sun Ting stood guard for me outside the toilet, spouting off-color yellow jokes that made Da Tou burst out laughing while hugging his assault rifle. I hid in the toilet, lighting a candle and using the black smoke rising from it to heat up something. If Da Tou had rushed into the toilet at this moment, he would have instinctively raised his Type 85 assault rifle to play a game of life and death with me, or quietly made another petrol bomb and thrown it into my bed while I was sleeping, because what I held in my hand was his 488-yuan crystal glasses!

  I was like a mischievous kid, using candle smoke to evenly dye both lenses pitch black, then carefully put the glasses back in their case, and casually threw the candle downwards, completely destroying the evidence. With a satisfied expression, I patted my belly and walked out of the bathroom.

  In my arms, I hid the treasure that had been made into "ink glasses". With a foul smell on me, Long Sun Ting and Da Tou hurried back to the barracks with me. We hid under the quilt, turned on the small flashlight in our sleeves, and under the weak light, I used a toothpick to dip some saliva, and on the black crystal lens of the glasses, I poked out small holes one by one in an unusual sequence.

  Three rows of forty-eight small holes, presenting a strange trapezoid that implies an optical theory, wearing it to gaze at the moon outside the window. The moonlight passes through the densely arranged small holes and undergoes a series of refractions and scatterings, turning into a strange grayish-red color with a pale glow in the middle, looking inexplicably eerie. Although the forty-eight small holes on this glasses were made by pure handwork, some places are still not delicate enough to affect the overall effect. However, it took me two whole hours, with a thick quilt covering my head, and I was sweating all over my body. Chang Sun-ting occasionally tapped the bed frame gently above my head, fearing that I would pretend to be asleep and really fall into a dreamland.

  These glasses are the key to whether my two brothers can take back the tool bag alive. Listening carefully to the snoring sounds of others after they fall asleep, Er Huazi probably dreamed of his own wedding night and occasionally let out a few lewd laughs, muttering in his mouth: "Flower, my baby, come on, let brother hug you..."

  It seems he needs to prepare an extra pair of underwear for tomorrow!

  Those carefree fellows had all entered the land of dreams, I lightly knocked on the bed frame, and Zhang Sun Ting simultaneously turned over and got up, quietly slipping out of the dormitory.

  We hid in a dark corner next to the dormitory, quietly observing the entire military camp. Long Sun Ting and I both took a deep breath, and it wasn't until then that we truly understood what first-class alertness meant. On each of the four defensive towers at the east, south, west, and north corners of the camp, a high-powered searchlight and a twin-mounted heavy machine gun were set up. The two-meter-diameter beam of light continuously swept back and forth across the camp, and with the light, we could occasionally see soldiers on patrol, armed and in groups of five. In some areas with open views, temporary defensive fortifications were even set up using sandbags, establishing a network of firepower that covered the entire camp. No matter which direction an enemy might try to break through from, they would receive the most powerful head-on attack.

  The satellite radar station is even more heavily guarded, with the firepower defense zone established during the day showing no signs of relaxation, and instead, several armored vehicles have been added, all equipped with 12-tube missile launchers. I estimate that these are strategic defensive tanks to prevent enemy missile raids on the satellite receiving station. I really don't know what other forces are hiding in the corners we haven't observed yet.

  Wearing the specially made glasses, under Long Sun Ting's urgent gaze, I cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, who designed this defensive net? It's really fucking abnormal!"

  Chang Sun Ting snatched the glasses from my hand, and after putting them on, he blinked for a long time before his eyes could barely adapt to this treasure of mine. When he cast his gaze towards the pitch-black, seemingly calm and harmless square, he couldn't help but let out a low whistle. The forty-eight small holes on these glasses weren't made randomly; I had spent an entire month learning this skill from Old Man Wei's guard. As soon as I put them on, my vision turned a pale red, and scanning the entire military camp, I could vaguely see twenty-seven lines filled with a dangerous aura crisscrossing horizontally and vertically throughout the camp.

  "Abnormal, truly abnormal!" Zhang Sun Ting gazed at the glasses in his hand with a look of surprise, making a "tsk-tsk" sound: "The person who designed this defense net is both a genius and an abnormal person. I bet he's a meticulous Go player who likes to do things perfectly, without revealing any flaws. He actually managed to design the entire military camp like a national bank vault, with no weaknesses. Ling Xue, have you noticed? The searchlights and patrol routes are always echoing each other, covering almost every corner of the camp with near-perfect balance."

  The person who designed this strategic defense network is indeed a genius. The more I look at it, the colder my heart becomes. If the opponent really treats the military camp as a chessboard and the patrol team and searchlights as pawns, then he has set up a fatal trap from the very beginning. This unknown designer is like a magician who can turn his hands into clouds and cover them with rain. With the movement of the lights and the patrol team, using brilliant logical calculations and almost perfect timing, step by step, he restricts the activity space of the intruder until the moment when the patrol team and searchlights intersect, at which point anyone will have nowhere to hide.

  I picked up a small wooden stick on the ground and drew a rough sketch of a military camp, saying in a low voice: "If this is indeed a game of Go, and you and I are two pawns struggling to escape, we need data. We must determine which patrol teams may pass through our route, analyze their movement patterns and timing, and also record the time when the searchlights may shine on us, calculating the possible gaps we can grasp."

  "Alright!" Zhang Sun Ting put away his smile, pulled out a stopwatch, and I also flipped over the luminous watch on my wrist. Every time the patrol team or searchlight we were focusing on entered the route I had set, we would mark a number on the ground. After repeating this several times, we carefully added up the data, divided it by the multiplier, and extracted an average value with a relatively small error.

  I placed three small stones on the map and said in a low voice, "From our current position to the target is approximately 300 meters away. On this route, there are three searchlights that pose a threat to us. The easternmost searchlight will shine on us within the first 100 meters, the westernmost searchlight can shine on us at a distance of 50-180 meters, and the northernmost searchlight can shine on us at a distance of 60-235 meters. In other words, as long as we can sprint beyond 235 meters, the searchlights will no longer pose a threat to us."

  Chang Sun-ting also placed three small stones on the map, "I observed for twenty-five minutes, I'm sure that the main threats to us are three patrol teams. One of them will enter our advance route every three minutes, one will enter once every two minutes and thirty-two seconds, and one will enter once every eight minutes."

  I put on my glasses and stared for a few more minutes, then picked up the small wooden stick and drew four horizontal lines on the map. "On our route, there are four infrared rays. Because of the hasty production, it seriously affects visual judgment. When we encounter places with infrared rays, we must use military actions to quickly crawl over. To be absolutely safe, we need to crawl at least 80 meters."

  Staring at the stones and lines on the map, Changsun Ting crouched down on the ground with his head in his hands, sighing: "It's tough, really tough! Trying to crack a chess puzzle set by a genius within a short period of time is already a huge challenge. Not to mention that this puzzle is full of other variables and unexpected events. If either of us brothers makes one wrong move, we might be beaten into a hornet's nest and never see the sun again tomorrow."
