Chapter: 4862

They came to a Chevrolet Pick-up truck, where the driver was already seated, an older Mexican man with a brown skin and a face full of wrinkles. He looked like no saint at first glance.

The young man opened the passenger door, turned around to Ye Cheng and Lang Hongjun, and said, "This is our company's car, driven by our CEO's bodyguard, a Mexican who is quite enthusiastic."

The Mexican man looked at them, his face creasing into a smile. He then patted his paunchy stomach and laughed, saying something in Spanish.

The young man translated, saying, "He says welcome to Mexico. He has a Glock 17 on him that can protect our safety."

Ye Cheng smiled and nodded, while Lang Hongjun seemed unfazed. He quickly said, "We'll let him know it's tiring."

The young man smiled slightly, greeting the other side in Spanish, and then told the two of them to sit in the back seat.

As they drove away from the airport, Ye Cheng and Lang Hongjun sat in the back seat on either side. The young man turned to Ye Cheng and Lang Hongjun and said, "You guys should call home now or send a message to let them know you're safe because the infrastructure here isn't very good, and we'll be leaving the city soon, which means there will be no signal at all."

Lang Hongjun didn't suspect anything and quickly pulled out his phone to call home and report their safety.

The young man saw Ye Cheng hadn't called, so he couldn't help but ask him, "Brother, why don't you tell your family?"

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "I came to Mexico without telling anyone. People like me are afraid of keeping in touch with their families because once they do, it's easy for things to go wrong. It's better not to say anything."

The young man nodded when he heard this and didn't say another word.

He let Ye Cheng and Lang Hongjun call home first because his car was equipped with a signal shielding device. Once they left the city, he would turn on the shield to prevent cellular base stations from recording their phone's movement trajectory.

Because all cell communications rely on ground-based base stations, and many of these stations overlap to form a range that covers almost every corner of the city, phones will automatically adapt to the strongest signal available at any given time and establish a connection with it.

When a phone is constantly crossing regional boundaries, it will search for the best signal and switch between multiple base stations. This way, base stations will also record the information about this device's connection.

If you want to track someone's movement trajectory using their phone, all you need to do is output his phone's connection time and specific information with a base station, which can lock in an accurate route map and range.

So, the specific location of the criminal's hideout will be exposed.

Therefore, this young person just pretended that Mexico's infrastructure was poor in order to pave the way for signal shielding later on.

With this preemptive defense mechanism, when the two people find out their phones have no signal, they won't feel anything unusual.

After leaving the airport, Pikka headed south, about 10 kilometers away from the car when the young person quietly stretched out their hand and felt around under the co-pilot's seat. They pressed a hidden switch inside.

This switch is the power switch for the signal shielding device.

Once activated, all signals within a five-meter radius will be completely shielded, making it impossible to make phone calls or receive satellite signals.

Lao Hongjun was chatting with Ye Chen while using his phone to chat with his wife on WeChat. Just as they were chatting, the phone signal suddenly became unavailable, and he felt taken aback, subconsciously saying, "Hey, how can this be... no network already?"

The young person casually laughed and said, "Ah, it's normal in Mexico. In places like that, once you leave the city, your phone basically has no signal."

Lao Hongjun nodded slightly and then put his phone away, looking out at the desolate landscape outside, asking Ye Chen, "Old brother, did you feel a sense of loss when coming from America to Mexico? Look at this outside - it's like a desert or wilderness zone that's not much different from an uninhabited area."

Ye Chen laughed and said, "I'm actually very adaptable. You let me stay in a five-star hotel suite, I don't get excited; you make me set up a tent out here to camp, I won't find it difficult." JrNovels.com
