The siege ring was about 400 meters from the farmhouse, a safe distance where an untrained marksman with a bolt-action rifle couldn't hit a moving target.
But those 400 meters made Scott walk with some difficulty. He had a weird feeling, that the farmhouse in his eyes seemed to have turned into a human head. As they got closer, just as he had imagined, the barbed wire gate snapped open automatically, followed by the drawbridge-style main gate slowly lowering down.
It was like a giant mouth slowly opening, and Scott and his team were about to deliver themselves into it.
He guessed that these gates were electrically controlled, after all, in this era, it was easy to design such commands with the aid of a smart home system, and wiring to connect electronic gates was not a difficult task.
