Ch. 1461..1465: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 1461-1465

Chapter 1461

"Oh, I see. You used me as an excuse,” Carl said.

"What excuse? It's just that he isn't worried because I'm safe around you.” Nicole rolled her eyes.

"Well, he's going to be disappointed this time..." Carl sighed.

"Why are you being such a Debbie downer? This has not ended. We can turn the tables as long as we can capture Cara's command post.” Nicole looked at him with confidence.

"Easier said than done. You've seen how our men ended up after that last attempt. It's just too tall of an order for us," Carl said with a look of defeat.

"This is not the Carl I know. What did you go through that turned you into someone like this? Where did the courageous and optimistic Carl go?!" Nicole looked at him, her eyes brimming with passion and fury.

"It's not an issue of confidence. It's just that we've been comered like prey. We don't have enough equipment or weapons. I'm just worried that..." Carl stopped mid-sentence.

"Don't lose hope. You're not fighting alone. I'm here with you. We've overcome many predicaments, and we will overcome this one too! There's nothing we can't do!” Nicole encouraged with a look of affirmation.

He looked at Nicole's assuring gaze and the passion in his eyes lit up. ‘She's right. She's here with me too. We've gone through so many battles, so this is nothing! Nothing compared to what we've faced in the past.’

"It's nice to have you here, Nicole. It feels like we're in the past completing missions once again." Carl smiled at Nicole.

"Yeah, think about how we used to overcome our difficulties and complete our missions. We can do it this time too!” she said.

"Come on, let's head back to study the map." Nicole took the last sip of her coffee and made her way back to the meeting room.

Carl and Nicole then went on to discover ways to deal with the Raven’s command post throughout the entire afternoon. When the sky had darkened, Carl brought two cups of instant noodles over, whereupon they continued coming up with a plan while eating.

The next day, after the sun had risen to brighten the day, Carl was asleep on the table while Nicole was still coming up with a plan to capture the post.

"It's finally done!" Nicole exclaimed in joy, forgetting that Carl had fallen asleep next to her.

Her loud voice immediately woke Carl up, and he stared at her in a daze. "What happened? Did Cara attack us?!"

"No, Carl. I found a way to resolve the problem that we were facing last night!" Nicole walked over and told him happily.

"For real?!" Carl exclaimed, shocked and excited.

"Yes! Come have a look.” Nicole pointed at the map and proceeded to present her idea to him.

Carl listened to her as his eyes widened.

He looked at Nicole and said, "This is a brilliant idea! You're a genius, Nicole! But wait. You've been up for the whole night, haven't you?”

Car! felt bad for Nicole. He was a little too exhausted last night and could only recall looking at Nicole as she studied the map intently before he fell asleep.

"I'm fine. I'll just make up for my sleep later,” Nicole said, looking knackered.

"Just get some sleep now and leave the rest to me," he replied.

"I'm really fine..."

But as she was about to complete her sentence, Carl interrupted her.

"No, don't work on this anymore. Just go to sleep. You're my dam - No, you're my angel.” Carl smiled as he pushed Nicole out of the meeting room.

 

Chapter 1462

“Alright, alright. I'll go to sleep, okay? But please, look into it carefully, since you're more familiar with this place than I am. There can't be any loopholes, so we must succeed this time!" Nicole turned to remind him.

"Sure, don't worry about it. I'll be extra attentive. I'll still need you to double-check it in the end, so please, get some rest.” Carl just wanted Nicole to have some sleep.

"Okay, I'll go catch some rest. Just come and find me if you need me,” she said.

"Yup, got it." Carl then returned to the meeting room.

In truth, he did not expect Nicole to come up with a plan overnight.

With that said, he proceeded to study the geography of the place as he thought, ‘Nicole really did provide me with massive aid for this plan. I've got to better it as much as I can, so that the chances of us failing again are close to none.’

Then, night came.

Two squads went on to sneak out of the tiny door of their base, fully geared and armed. They were headed toward the riverside and when they got there, Nicole led them across the river, followed by Carl. In the dead of night, and under the cover of darkness, both Nicole and Carl brought the two teams to the command post nearby.

"Carl, seen anything on your end?" she asked.

"I'm going to assess the enemy's formation." Carl took his binoculars out and stood at the best position he could find as he poked his head out carefully, attempting to get a good look on their positioning.

But after looking at it for a bit, his face turned sour. "Nicole, they have changed their formations... No one is out there."

Nicole scoffed. "Seems like I was right. Plan B, let's go."

Car! could not help but smile. "Thank God for your plan B. Got it, I’ll send the troops in."

In a dark room in the command post, stood a man with a gun in his right hand, while on the other, were two walnuts which he fiddled with. He was looking out of the window with a cold expression on his face.

Soon, another man barged into the room and knelt over. "Sir! Our targets have taken the bait."

The man stopped fiddling with the walnuts and chuckled.” They're here? What are we waiting for then? This time… don't let them get away!"

Smack.

Accompanying the man’s cold laughter was the crushing of the walnuts, their bits scattering on the floor.

His subordinate, who was shocked, quickly turned around and left.

The man stood up and walked out of the room. He then took his pair of binoculars out and eyed the exterior of the command post from above, gazing at the "ants" who were sneaking in.

‘Judging by the number of people here, it seems that they have sent all of their troops,’ he thought.

After all, the man had been luring them in for several days.’ They do not have many resources, so this must be their final battle.’

"Prepare yourselves. We'll get them all this time. Every single one of them!" The man belted out in a chilling fit of laughter as the lurid scar ran down the corner of his eye.

"Yes, sir!" His men nodded and got ready for battle.

As swift as they could be, Nicole and Carl's army began the siege.

The man immediately shouted, "Fire!"

The people in the area immediately knew that they had been tricked, after which the team leader shouted, "Find cover!"

All of them dispersed at once, resulting in an uncoordinated mess as the fight devolved into chaos.

The man was absolutely delighted at the sight of it. Doesn't seem like we had to waste much ammo to get these people here today!’

Both sides engaged in a frenzied shootout, littering the ground with bullet cases and the air with the sound of booming gunfire.

And finally, after what seemed to be forever, one of the parties ceased attacking.

Chapter 1463

The man smiled with delight. ‘Hah, they probably ran out of ammo!’

Unfortunately, he was right. Carl's men did indeed run out of ammo.

Then, he quickly waved his arm and exclaimed, "Halt! Capture those who are still alive. Don't waste your ammo. These people aren't worth it.”

"Yes, sir!" His men stopped firing and ran out of the command post, rushing toward the bunkers to quickly surround it.

Carl's men, who here hiding behind their covers, were all pale as sheet. They had already thrown their guns on the ground and lifted their hands in surrender.

"Don't shoot... W-We're out of ammo!" One of the men surrendered with his trembling arms raised, trying to explain himself as he was afraid that he would get a bullet to the head.

Watching as his enemies were being surrounded, the Raven commander walked out from the dark, smug and satisfied.

"Sir! We've rounded up a total of 17 people," one of his men said.

Though the commander had no clue as to how many people were on Carl's team, he knew that they could not halt their attack as long as they had backup. Besides, some of the one present were Zane's elite mercenaries. Nonetheless, he was brimming with joy at the sight of these highly-trained men raising their arms in defeat.

"I wasn't expecting the legendary mercenaries working for Zane to be this weak! You were all probably hiding in your base, huh? You bunch of wimps!" he barked.

Jason looked upset, and even though he had also raised his hands in defeat, his eyes were brimming with hatred.

But then, a voice echoed in his ear. “Calm down."

The gentle lady sounded confident, causing him to simmer down at once.

"You're screwed because you chose to follow the wrong person!" The commander took his pistol and pointed the muzzle at Jason's head.

Jason's eyes narrowed in an instant.

Even if Carl had gotten him to act like he was surrendering, he had pride as a mercenary. He did not fear death.

Jason glared at the man and asked, "You're Cara, right?”

The man was furious when he saw Jason's gaze. "Who are you to ask who I am? How dare you glare at me?! Why don't you ask the grim reaper yourself?!”

Through gritted teeth, Carl said, "Nicole! We won't be able to ascertain that man's identity in time. Let's attack!”

In response, Nicole hesitated and said, "Save our men first." It was then that Carl saw that the commander was going to shoot Jason at any given moment. He had no time to think, so he quickly took aim with his gun at the commander's hand.

Just when Jason thought he was about to die, he heard a bang, and the man's hand erupted with blood before his eyes, splattering droplets onto his face. At that moment, he was so stunned that he could not even blink.

"ARGH!!!" The man issued a piercing shriek into the night as he fell to the ground. "My hand! Someone is ambushing us!”

His men quickly surrounded him as they formed a human shield around him!

At the same time, Jason grabbed the pistol from the floor and started shooting at them!

With Jason's lead, the people who had faked their surrender began to attack them alongside Carl.

Soon after, the Raven's numbers dwindled, and the commander was momentarily saved. But no matter how much they tried, they could not seem to shoot anyone.

"Sir! I think... We've fallen into their trap!" The commander's subordinate flushed, his body was covered in blood.

Seeing his comrade die had almost made the man wet himself.

Chapter 1464

"Imbeciles! You're all idiots! Is this how you spy on your enemies? None of you noticed that there was an ambush!" the commander yelled, the pain in his hand akin to it being crushed into a million pieces. He was furious at his men who had failed to spot the trap!

Carl wasted no time. He rushed toward the man and took care of his remaining lackeys while Jason and Yolli pinned the three people down.

Carl then walked up to the man with his rifle in hand and stomped on his broken hand.

That man yelled at the top of his lungs in pain. "Go to hell! Just kill me if you're bold enough!"

However, all Carl did was look at him coldly as he asked, in a condescending tone of voice, "Are you Cara?"

The man froze for a second before he a cold smirk crossed his face. "Hah. You thought I was Cara, huh? Could have gotten an Oscar for all the acting, don't you think?

Unfortunately... you don't have what it takes to meet him!"

Carl, who was shocked, instantly felt that something awful was going to happen!

‘D*mn it! This man isn't Cara! Where is Cara?’ he thought.

Suddenly, he heard the loud crack of a pistol discharging behind him.

Concurrently, he heard Nicole shouting, "Carl! Watch out!"

Car! dodged in the nick of time, the bullet missing him by a hair’s breadth, and whizzed right past him!

"Ugh!" The bullet landed right on the neck of the man whom Carl was stepping on, his blood spurting all over the place.

Car! was flabbergasted by the sight of it. 'What's happening?’

Unfortunately, it was then that he realized that he had fallen right into his opponent's trap. Still, Carl was not expecting the person he was dealing with to kill one of their own.

Three gunshots then echoed across the post, and upon hearing them, Carl yelled, "Return fire!"

Jason and Yolli immediately found cover with their men and began retaliating with volleys of their own.

However, their enemies were on high ground, and their disadvantage quickly became apparent in the battle.

Jason gritted his teeth. “Nicole, we can't hold on for much longer!"

‘What's Nicole waiting for? We're trapped!" he thought.

Nicole held her sniper rifle tightly in the dark. ‘The man behind all of this is going to show himself soon! I can't expose myself now!"

After three minutes, Carl surmised that he could no longer defend against his enemies' heavy fire anymore. He retreated to the wall of the command post and hid himself. Few of his men were left critically injured, but Yolli and his unit risked their lives to drag their injured comrades to a safe spot.

The gunshots then stopped.

Nicole forced herself to calm down as she looked at her bleeding comrades.

Suddenly, the speakers crackled and a peal of creepy laughter blared out of them.

"Heh heh. Zane’s men are really something else. Still, isn’t it a little ridiculous for you to think that you could capture me like this?" the voice asked in a mocking tone of voice, echoing across the command post.

Nicole's face darkened at an instant. ‘This man is a cunning one. He's more than prepared for this.’

After she had calmed herself down, she switched her watch on and a holographic depiction of entire internal structure of the command post appeared before her. ‘He's got to be somewhere in here if he's using the speakers...’

Chapter 1465

Nicole flashed an evil smile and yelled. “I found him!"

Carl then brought Jason, Yolli, and the rest of the unit in as they hunkered down behind covers. The wound on Carl's arm had already started to bleed.

Jason was a little confused, "Okay, what is she doing?"

Carl shot him a glance and maintained his silence. Although none of them could understand why Nicole had blatantly chosen to do nothing as they were getting injured and cornered, Carl had worked with her for several years, and thus, he knew that she had something up her sleeve.

Hence, the only thing he needed to do was to trust her and await her orders quietly, whereupon they would likely storm into the building and take the fight within alongside Nicole.

Carl then gave it a little thought and laughed aloud. "Hah! Hah! It pains me to think that someone as infamous as you are would actually be scrambling about, hiding like a sewer rat in broad daylight, C. You don't even have the nuts to show yourself! Instead, you got your lackeys to play the stunt double! What the hell are you, if you're not a d*mn coward!"

The speakers fell silent for a moment, after which the eerie voice said, "Meet you, and you alone? You're in over your head, you Turmann family punk!"

CarI's gaze darkened at once. He was not expecting Cara to have traced his family background. It seemed to him that it would be unwise to underestimate his enemy's capabilities, and while Cara was truly trick for him to deal with, he must force the latter to show himself, nonetheless. Only then could Nicole think of a plan.

As he thought about it, Carl took a step forward, “Since you already know who I am, why don't I get myself acquainted with the great C before I die, huh? I want to see if this figure alone is comparable to the Turmann family!”

At that moment, everyone was stunned. They did not expect that Carl, one of their top brass working for Zane, was a member of the Turmann family. Such was why Carl had such an imposing presence about him, even at such a young age.

In the meantime, everyone who had met Carl's gaze began to have more respect for him. Yet after his speech had ended, the speaker remained silent without a response.

Time passed in utter silence, and soon, cold sweat began dripping from everyone's forehead.

Nicole had now found Cara's possible position, and that was when she got one of her snipers to take aim. However, she could not leave Carl. Even if Cara really appeared, she had to first keep Carl safe.

Carl became very nervous when he saw that nobody was showing up, even after a long time. He got enraged at an instant, and walked out of the shadows to empty the magazine in his handgun skyward.

"What's up? You regard the Turmann family with such disdain, and yet you fear a man with no bullets left in his gun! What a coward!" Carl yelled out.

Nicole could not help but break out in cold sweat for Carl as she thought, ‘This dude is too reckless! What does he think is going to happen if they have a sniper!?'

Unexpectedly, after a minute, the floor opposite of Carl opened up into a secret passage. A then stairway appeared before him.

"You've got some balls! Come on in then, and I'll let you die as a man of knowledge, "Cara's voice emanated from within.

Carl, who was shocked for a moment, thought, ‘This man is really cautious!"

Meanwhile, Nicole, who had noticed something wrong, yelled, "Don't go in!"

Although she had already pinpointed the enemy's exact location, she realized that they were holed up in an underground chamber. As of now, she could not find a route into the chamber.

Carl heard her, and it was then that he smiled. "Nicole, I believe you will find a way."

Nicole was taken aback by his words at once. “Carl! Don't be stupid!"

Carl was just worried they would discover that was not the commanding officer. With this in mind, he discreetly removed the earpiece while wiping the blood of his comrades off his face. Then, he threw his handgun away and strode into the opening to the underground chamber.

Nicole's eyes quickly turned red. 'l can't believe that he has so much trust on me!"

Nicole did not have much time to think. She knew that she could not hide anymore, and as such, se swiftly turned the

holographic projection on and searched for an alternate passage to the secret chamber.

Meanwhile, Carl had already made his way into the dark passageway. Jason and Yolli attempted to catch up, but just as they had taken two steps forward, the Raven sniper hidden in the distance fired two warming shots into the ground before they feet, deterring them.
