Chapter 204: Energy Issues
"If that's the case, if that's the case, there will be a lot of these monsters around the hotel?" Ibaraki asked, walking to the window and looking at the huge black forest, "If that's the case, I'm afraid we need to strengthen the vigilance around us." ”
"Well, there are cameras all around the hotel, and now there's a bunch of guys watching outside in the surveillance room, and we'll be relatively safe with them there, but the most important thing right now is the power supply to this building. Samusa brushed the hair around her ears with her hands and combed them behind her ears, "We don't know where the electricity comes from yet, I've checked the power distribution room here, and all the circuits in it have been cut off, and these water sources, they seem to be endless." ”
"There should be a backup generator somewhere, right?" Sakurama said.
"yes, if you want to supply water, maybe there's a backup reservoir here. Yang Xiaokai was inspired by Sakura's words and followed her reasoning.
But Samusa's expression was even more solemn, he bit his fingernails lightly, and said lightly: "It would be even worse if this happened......"
"Eh, why, isn't it a good thing to have spare resources?" said Hades.
Yang Xiaokai immediately understood Shamuzuo's worries, and suddenly realized: "Miss Samuzuo is afraid that these spare resources will be used up, right?"
"Correct solution, if the electricity and water we are using now are backup resources, then these things will be used up sooner or later, and when the energy is exhausted, this is just an ordinary house, the monitoring room, the elevator and the water source will all be paralyzed, and we will have no point in continuing to stay. ”
As soon as Samusa said this, everyone in the room felt a trace of panic, the backup generator had to supply the electricity of such a building, and I was afraid that in a few days there would be no power, and then these lights would cease to exist and be completely plunged into darkness.
"That ......" Bingfang, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly raised his hand and whispered: "I saw a locked door on the left hand side of the first floor of the hotel, it was the only place we had never visited, and it looked relatively old on the outside, probably a relatively old place here." ”
"Then there should be a good chance that there is a backup power supply in this. Ibaraki nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's go check it out, hopefully the front desk will have the key there, and if not, we'll have to break down the door. Hades opened one hand and clenched his fist in the other, slammed it, and then stood up and walked to the door.
Samusa also agreed with her husband's idea, took a deep breath and stood up: "Xiaokai, you stay, Fujiko and Sakuruma too, it's enough for us and Ibaraki to go." ”
"Miss Sakisa, I'll go with you. ”
Sakurama suddenly ran to Sakisa, and she didn't refuse, she agreed: "Remember to walk among us, it may be dangerous in that room, that kind of old place, the wall is definitely not strong." ”
"Sister, give you this, you should know how to use it, right?" Yang Xiaokai took out a pistol from under the pillow and threw it into Sakura's hand, although she didn't like to shoot, but she always knew how to aim and use it.
"Well, Kai, you wait for me here, and I'll be back soon. ”
The group left the room and headed for the spare power room.
"Xiaokai, aren't you worried about them?" asked the ice room, looking at the empty doorway, turning around.
"You're underestimating the two of them. ”
"They?" asked the ice room.
"My sister and Miss Samusa, those two are no worse together than anyone else, but I would not have worried about anyone else without them. Yang Xiaokai leaned on the head of the bed and tried to turn on the TV, but there was still no picture in it.
"Sakisa-san, even if we know that there is a backup generator, what if the power will eventually run out, right?" Ibaraki didn't ask until he stepped into the elevator, and Ibaraki, who didn't want her to worry because of the presence of the ice room in the room just now, could only avoid her as much as possible.
"If I could know what kind of generator it was, I would be able to find a way to restart it after it stopped working, although that wouldn't last long, and once the power went out again, the generator would be scrapped, so we had to find a way out of it during that time, or have enough to survive in the forest. ”
During the time when the elevator was going down, Sakurama kept fiddling with the gun in her hand, looking uneasy.
"Samusa, do you want to call those guys in the monitoring room to help? When Hades passed through the corridor of the monitoring room, he suddenly remembered the Fujiwara people in there, and they had enough firepower in their hands, so they might be able to help a lot.
"No, I don't. Samusa vetoed Hades' proposal and said, "The space in the power room will not be very large, and too many people will gather in a narrow place and it will be messy, and the optimal number of people is about three to four people." ”
"That's ...... true"
As they spoke, the four of them had already arrived at the door of the power room, and it was exactly the same as the ice room said, not only the old lock was hung on the door, but also the lock that came with it was locked.
"I went to the front desk to see if there was a key here. Ibaraki looked at the two keyholes, and his eyes flashed like a twinkle, and he offered to go to the front desk to find the key here.
"It looks like we'll just have to wait here for him to come back. Hades leaned against the wall and looked around, this place was easily overlooked, and it was in a very remote place in the hotel, no wonder he hadn't seen it before.
"Rule, that person ......" Samusa stared at the back of Ibaraki turning left, her eyes suddenly became sharp, she would never be wrong just now, only a thief who has been in a hundred battles would have that kind of gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine. ”
The eyes of Ibaraki looking at the keyhole just now are completely different from ordinary people, ordinary people will stay on the surface for the first time when they see the keyhole, but he looked at the inside of the keyhole at a glance, as if he could see through the structure inside in an instant, because only by seeing the internal structure of the lock can he choose the right key.
If Ibaraki only takes two keys later, it proves that Sakisa's conjecture is correct.
In about a minute, Ibaraki returned to the door of the power room with a key in his hand, which was less than he had imagined.
"Found it, this is the key to the door lock. Ibaraki inserted the key into the keyhole, and after two turns, he heard the sound of the lock being opened, and then he said, "I can't find the key to this padlock, and I don't know where the previous staff left it." ”
"What can I do then?" Hades touched the back of his head, he didn't plan to force a breakthrough to enter here if it wasn't necessary, and the door was pulled outward, so there was no way to break the padlock.
"Maybe I lost the padlock key and didn't open the door. Sakurama said, staring at the padlock.
Ibaraki didn't do anything, and Samusa knew that he was indeed a thief, but he didn't seem to plan to reveal his identity here easily, after all, it didn't do anyone good to let others know that he was a thief, but would attract contempt.
The door to the power room is stronger than the other rooms, and it is impossible to enter unless it is cut.
"Is the door's hinge on the outside?" Ibaraki stared at the iron door for a moment, eventually locking his gaze to the two hinges on the left, which could be removed by removing them, even with the padlock onto it.
"Is there a way?" Hades asked, looking at Ibaraki.
"I need a screwdriver, there seems to be a utility room over there, wait a minute. As soon as he finished speaking, Ibaraki disappeared again.
"Ah, it's great to bring him here~" Hades wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon after, Ibaraki returned to the door with a screwdriver, but he didn't seem to be very skilled, and it took Hades a few times to remove the two axes.
It was probably Ibaraki who noticed the way Samusa looked at him, and in order to reduce the chance of being suspected, he deliberately pretended to make himself look clumsy, but several of his scheming eyes were captured by Samusa.
The door panel was removed, the smell of decay inside came to the face, the door had not been opened for I don't know how long, the inside was black and hollow, and the switch on the wall was rusty. Hades slammed it down, and the knife fell, and the ceiling light flickered and gradually lit up, but after three seconds it flickered and went out.
"It's in disrepair. Ibaraki set the door panel aside, so as not to get in the way of them if they encountered something inside and wouldn't escape, "I can't see it's so big." ”
When the lights flickered just now, I vaguely saw the outline of the whole room, which was very large, about a few hundred square meters.
"It was so quiet. Sakurama whispered.
"Well, if there was a generator, it shouldn't be so quiet. Saki turned on the flashlight and lit up the surroundings.
There is a cave in this room, not just a room, there are steps leading to the ground in the depths, if there is a generator in it, it should be down here, and it is normal not to hear the sound.
"It doesn't look good. Hades walked in the front, leaving Ibaraki Hall behind, and Samusa walked behind Hades with a flashlight, "Pay attention to your feet, there seems to be a lot of wood chips here." ”
"Got it. ”
The four of them walked around the room, where there were only a few wooden shelves with buckets of paint, and the walls were halfway painted before work stopped, after which the room was locked and no one came in again.
"Let's go down and have a look. Sakisa made sure it was safe before leading the group to the steps that led underground.
Although the steps are made of wood, they have not decayed due to age, but are as strong as new. Hades tried the toughness of the steps, and then walked down with confidence.
Just as the team was all going underground, Ibaraki, who was walking at the back, seemed to have noticed something and walked to the side alone.
