Chapter 1337: Chapter 1342: Technology

Yang Yi ran out of the alley, and when he reached the end of the alley, a van was already parked there with the door open.

Without the help of others, it would be very difficult for Yang Yi to escape this time, because this pursuit was not just a local matter, but the whole country was mobilized to capture him. In such a situation, trying to escape alone was really a fantasy.

Yang Yi got in the car, and the van immediately drove off.

Paul was driving.

"This time it’s troublesome, I have to start hiding too."

"I understand."

Yang Yi took off the hood on the car. His hair was still wet, but the light brown hair had already turned black.

Yang Yi picked up the water prepared in the car and poured it on his head again, then wrapped his head with a large towel that he had already prepared.

"Try to find out what the detection device in that white box is. I need to know how I was exposed."

While changing clothes, Yang Yi only had time to say this sentence, then he took out a driver’s license, glanced at it a few times, and then began to change clothes in the car.

"You only have three minutes and forty seconds, I’ll try to drag it to four minutes for you."

"Okay."

Yang Yi quickly changed clothes, took off the towel, and put on a wig.

"The accident was too sudden this time, our preparation was seriously inadequate. After you get off the car, you will lose systematic cover, and we can only adapt to the situation. You must be careful!"

Paul was driving, but his tone was very serious and helpless.

The Organization of Water could only provide limited cover for Yang Yi at short notice, having rushed to the United States and set up arrangements hastily. Yang Yi really didn’t expect to be discovered at the airport, so the Organization of Water could only make basic preparations.

That is to say, after getting off Paul’s car, there wasn’t a way to meet and cover Yang Yi again, but there wasn’t a pre-planned escape route and equipment. Whether it’s Yang Yi himself or the people covering for him, they could only adapt to the situation step by step for now.

The escape route currently chosen, like the alley where Yang Yi first changed disguises, could be confirmed to be without cameras, and the place where Yang Yi was about to get off was also a confirmed safe route, but the next step was uncertain.

As for why Paul didn’t drive straight to Anton’s place with Yang Yi, it was because the moment Paul picked up Yang Yi, the car was already exposed. In less than ten minutes, the whole city of New York would start searching for this van.

Yang Yi changed clothes in the car, did a simple makeup, threw the exchanged items in the back seat, then waited for Anton to drive past an underground parking lot. Yang Yi opened the car door, jumped off the moving car, rolled on the ground, and directly approached a parked car.

Yang Yi used the key to open the car door, got in, whistled as he started the car, and then drove towards the exit opposite to Paul’s direction.

Paying for parking, Yang Yi drove the car out of the parking lot.

Is it safe?

No, this car would be safe for up to half an hour. When Paul drove to the busy street, stopped, and blatantly set the car on fire, Yang Yi’s car would soon be targeted.

Again, better to investigate wrongly than to let go, any potential traces would be found, and they would not stop until it’s thoroughly examined.

But Yang Yi’s safety time had already extended from a mere few minutes to half an hour after these two disguise changes.

Half an hour is really enough to do a lot.

There was also a makeup bag in the car. With a change of clothes from the bag, Yang Yi would become another person.

Yang Yi drove for twenty minutes, arrived at a large shopping mall, parked the car in the mall’s parking space, and walked into the mall carrying the bag.

Yang Yi went into the bathroom, entered an empty stall, and began to disguise again inside, changing clothes and hairstyle.

He opened a wallet, carefully looked at the family photo clipped inside, memorized this person’s identity, put the wallet into his pocket, then tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

Now, he should have one to two hours of safety time, but Yang Yi wasn’t sure, so he decided to take a conservative time, which is one hour.

Why only one hour of safety time?

Simply put, Yang Yi’s current face and outfit hadn’t entered the mall, but he was walking out of it. If the CIA was fast enough, they could track this mall within an hour. Then, by pulling up surveillance, Yang Yi’s current appearance would immediately lose its disguise effect.

Yang Yi was also in the CIA; he knew how quickly the CIA could find someone. Does the mall’s surveillance require human analysis? No, it’s not necessary.

Today’s artificial intelligence is already very powerful, and facial recognition technology is also very advanced. If a video file is input into the computer, and it starts searching for this person in the surveillance footage, based on the mall’s traffic, it would take as little as two minutes or no more than three.

If Yang Yi’s discarded identity was discovered, the CIA people could take this data to the mall, extract a half-hour or one-hour time segment to begin comparison, and it would take only a few seconds to find Yang Yi entering the mall. Even if they didn’t find him going into the restroom, it would be enough to lock onto a general area. Then, if Yang Yi didn’t leave this general area, they would retrieve the details of everyone leaving from this area, compare them, and find out that Yang Yi’s current appearance didn’t enter the mall but did leave it. Okay, they would start looking for this person.

Isn’t it simple?

Twenty years ago, no, even ten years ago, facial recognition technology wasn’t this advanced. Given Yang Yi’s current level of disguise, it would have been enough to escape, but now, with the rapid development of technology, Yang Yi could only have a safety time of up to one hour, and getting two hours would require very good luck.

Yang Yi planned to take a taxi after leaving the mall. In an hour, it would be enough for him to get a bit far.

But luck does not always side with Yang Yi. When Yang Yi reached the mall’s entrance and was about to go out, he faced four men in suits.

A man in a black suit glanced at Yang Yi. He was originally in a hurry, but upon seeing Yang Yi, he immediately fixed his gaze on him. After observing Yang Yi for four or five steps, he quickly placed one hand on his back, extended the other hand towards Yang Yi, and said loudly, "FBI! Sir, stand still and don’t move!"
