Chapter 11 Goal: "The Rhine River"

"Here is the Municipal Art Museum. There are guards at the front and back doors, and people patrolling around. The only breakthrough now is the drainage system on the right side of the museum. So, we have to climb up to the roof from here," Li Yalin said to Lei Zi again, showing the blueprint of the museum.

"But, big brother, it's so high. I'm afraid I can't do it," even though the museum only has two floors, the overall height exceeds ten meters. Lei Zi doubted whether she could climb up.

"It's okay. I'll go first and pull you up after I get to the top," Li Yalin's expression was confident. Under Lei Zi's guidance, Li Yalin had tried extreme rock climbing several times before. Now, a mere ten-meter drainage system couldn't stop him.

With only forty minutes left, Li Yalin and Lei Zi had to hurry. Under the cover of night, they quietly reached the designated location, found the climbing position, and Li Yalin decisively took the lead, swiftly climbing up, grabbing a protrusion on the wall, leveraging his feet, and steadily climbing upward.

If it were the old Li Yalin, he wouldn't even dare to imagine himself engaging in such extreme sports. In less than a minute, Li Yalin had reached the roof. He lowered a rope, and Lei Zi tied the hook to her belt. With Li Yalin's help from above and Lei Zi's efforts, they finally arrived at the ventilation duct in front of the museum.

"So, this is it, Lei Zi. Can you use your ability to cut off the wires? Shouldn't be a problem, right?" Li Yalin asked Lei Zi as he found the ventilation duct.

"I'll give it a try." Generally, Level 1-1 low-level ability holders were very weak. Being able to bend a spoon was already considered good. As for Lei Zi now, trying to cut off the wires at the other end of the ventilation fan using wind power was quite a stretch.

A small whirlwind rubbed against the surface of the wires back and forth. It was really difficult. Sweat the size of beans had already dripped from Lei Zi's face. But now they could only hope that Lei Zi would succeed. If she couldn't, Li Yalin would have to choose a frontal breakthrough.

Time passed second by second. The insulation on the wires finally showed signs of damage. But looking at the time, it was already 10:40 in the evening, with twenty minutes left until the specified time on the notice.

"Come on!" At this point, Lei Zi's face was not only full of sweat but also flushed from holding her breath. Finally, with a low roar from Lei Zi, the wires snapped, and the fan at the ventilation duct stopped slowly.

"Well done, Lei Zi. You've done a great job," success! Lei Zi's success meant that half of the mission was successful. After encouraging Lei Zi, Li Yalin started dismantling the fan, melting the iron mesh with a small welding torch, removing the surrounding frame, and finally the fan. Looking at the time, the minute hand had already pointed to 9, which meant that Li Yalin only had fifteen minutes left.

"Lei Zi, you go down first and wait for me by the motorcycle." Lei Zi had to stay in a safe area so that Li Yalin could start his own action. It was too dangerous on the rooftop.

"Do you still need my help?" Lei Zi wanted to help, but seeing her weak and exhausted steps, Li Yalin shook his head affectionately. He felt quite sorry for Lei Zi, who was so tired.

"Hurry down. With me here, there's no problem." Patting Lei Zi's small head, Li Yalin helped her back the way they came, sliding down the rope from the museum. Then, Li Yalin turned and entered the ventilation duct, entering the ceiling of the Municipal Art Museum's second floor.

There were still twelve minutes left, and "The Rhine River" was in the C hall on the second floor. Time was tight, and Li Yalin had to act fast.

The ventilation duct was unusually dim. Should I use a flashlight in this situation? No, using a flashlight would easily expose me to the people below, after all, every room's ceiling still had ventilation equipment. It was really ill-prepared. If it were Little Lei or Little Tong and the others, they wouldn't have to worry about this at all.

But the situation wasn't hopeless. Spending 50 game points to buy a night vision device was nothing to Li Yalin. With this thing, everything became much easier.

Opening the game store, Li Yalin clicked to buy the night vision device. It was that simple. After looking at the map of the ventilation duct, Li Yalin quickly reached the top of the C hall. But looking down, what the heck, why are there so many people down there?

From the ventilation duct, Li Yalin could see that there were more than ten guards and police officers stationed in the C hall, and the lights below were brightly lit. How could one steal under such circumstances?

Time waits for no one. There were only five minutes left until eleven o'clock. In this situation, Li Yalin had to use some special means.

He spent 300 points on an M4A1 rifle, and spent an additional 40 points to install a silencer and thermal sight on the gun. Then he bought two smoke grenades for 20 points each and one frag grenade for 10 points. In total, he spent 370 game points, plus the previous night vision device, Li Yalin now had 1080 game points left.

Buying so many weapons, Li Yalin wasn't planning a massacre; he just wanted to make the plan go smoother.

B hall was less than thirty meters away from C hall, and the museum's power switch was in A hall. Li Yalin placed the frag grenade above B hall. Due to the limited power of the explosion, even if the bomb went off, it wouldn't cause any casualties or fires, as there were no guards in B hall.

With only one minute left, holding the M4A1 in his hand, Li Yalin aimed at the frag grenade directly in front of him. Nine, eight, seven... two, one! Time's up! Li Yalin fired a bullet, instantly detonating the frag grenade on the ceiling of B hall.

"What's going on?" With a loud explosion, it alerted all the guards in the museum. Junfu took his men to check the situation. But at this moment, Li Yalin threw out two smoke grenades. The entire C hall was immediately filled with smoke.

"I can't see! Protect 'The Rhine River'!" The police and guards shouted loudly, but in the thick smoke, no one knew where they were. Only Li Yalin, through the thermal sight, could see everything.

"Done!" Li Yalin smiled slightly. Taking advantage of the guards' confusion, he jumped down from the ceiling, stole the famous painting "The Rhine River," and then rushed to A hall at the fastest speed, destroying the entire museum's power system.
