Chapter 888: Counterattack from the East (Medium)
It became ......
When the KS project department exploded, the entire town's electrical circuit was 'short-circuited'. Eighty-one? Chinese Network ? ?(δΈ)(δΈ). (1) 8 All of a sudden, including the hinterland of the oil fields and the very center of the town, were plunged into endless darkness.
The sandstorm also hit the original mainstream circuits inside and outside the town. The heavy damage to the computer room made the enemy's backup power come to naught.
At this time, the enemy has no choice but to activate emergency measures. And this solution only relies on maintaining the 'internal' electricity consumption of the town. But it can't support the electricity of the whole town. In addition, the passage of the sandstorm also caused the originally brightly lit Burding to fall into darkness after the explosion, but also a cloudy wind.
Xiao Zhan and the others, who had already foreseen it, each carried a pair of 'night vision goggles' with them when they carried out the mission. At this time, they are like 'executioners' walking in the dark. Every enemy who is ready to stop their retreat will be the target of their torture.
Southern suburbs of Berding......
It is a piece of arable land that was planned when the town was rebuilt. This is to ensure that the 'original residents' of the town can eat fresh vegetables when they encounter bad weather and lose contact with the outside world for the time being.
To mine such a 'fertile' piece of land in the desert, I wonder how many truckloads of soil and fertilizer the local government will have to transport to improve the environment.
There are 'cisterns' made of cement around the cultivated land, and although most of the time the desert climate has little rain, ants are also meat. The construction of such 'reservoirs' will ensure at least one or two irrigation of the cultivated land after the rains.
Although it is located south of Berding, it is nearly twenty miles away from the town. The reason why I chose this place should be related to the soil here. In addition, the underground of the town is interspersed with some infrastructure facilities such as cables and sewers, and the arable land is planned here to avoid some accidents in the future.
And now, this area, which was temporarily 'forgotten' by the locals, has become the nearest 'safe haven' for Xiao Zhan and others.
The first to arrive here were kestrel and takeshi, who were moving around the town. The two of them successfully took advantage of the night and the sandstorm to get rid of the pursuers behind them, and arrived here as soon as possible.
The two of them were also the only group to arrive at the appointed time.
Jumping into the reservoir that had dried to the bottom, Takeshi and Kestrel prepared in advance for the upcoming 'sandstorm' and explosion.
They had been carrying them on their backs, and they had fixed the 'cloth' made of steel wire to the top of the cistern. Spread out the 'gap' that covers the entire reservoir facing the sky.
This was to prevent several people from being hit by rocks blown by the wind while they were dodging the sandstorm. Just as the two of them were about to complete these protection facilities, Xiao Daguan, who was covered in blood, returned.
After tumbling into the cistern, he lay flat on his back with a 'bang' ....... The kestrel and Wusheng who jumped off asked nervously, "Head, are you injured?" β
"Two shots in the shoulder. Uncle, these bunnies. Lao Tzu didn't steal their daughter-in-law, so they all seemed to have beaten chicken blood. They don't even want their lives to rush at me......"
When Xiao Zhan said this, the kestrel had already suddenly tore through Xiao Zhan's right shoulder that had been shot. Looking at the exploding blood, I couldn't help but gasp with a 'sizzle'.
"Don't do anything about it, dig it out for me with a knife. At this stage, our conditions do not allow for hypocrisy! β
After saying this, Xiao Zhan said to Wu Sheng: "Go to the southeast to pick up your second brother and the tank." Their side had the most firepower, and they retreated farther apart. I'm afraid of change, you go and take a look. The signal on their side is also blocked, so you try to call as many times as you can. β
"I see!" After saying this, Wu Sheng rushed towards the southeast against the fierce wind.
Several people always have an inconspicuous waist bag hanging around their waists, which is usually covered with coats, and some practical utensils are stored inside.
The kestrel that took out the medical alcohol from the waist bag and poured it into Xiao Zhan's wound. Xiao Daguanren, who was clenching the wooden stick in his mouth, his whole face became distorted......
The crushed tobacco is stirred with painkillers. Pulling out the scalpel that had been sterilized, the kestrel cut the wound on Xiao Zhan's right shoulder without any hesitation......
Just as the kestrel was skillfully treating Xiao Zhan's wounds, the sound of hurried footsteps outside also made the two of them subconsciously hold the handle of the gun. It wasn't until Wu Sheng and Tank carried the wounded hunter into this makeshift settlement house that Xiao Zhan and Kestrel nervously asked, "What's wrong?" β
The pale-faced hunter grinned and said, "The left leg was pierced." The tank carried me all the way. β
Hearing the hunter's words, Xiao Daguan hurriedly went to look at the hunter's injured left leg. The tank, which was covered in blood, hurriedly said at this time: "I have seen it, and I didn't hurt my bones." The bullet pierced the muscles directly, and the bullet was not left. β
"Skin trauma!" The hunter, who had lost too much blood, grinned at the corners of his dry mouth and added softly.
Even so, several people hurriedly treated the hunter's wounds.
'Boom ......'
Just five minutes after the men arrived at the 'cistern', a shuddering explosion erupted throughout the Burding area.
The earth seemed to be shaken by someone, and the fire in the center of the town rushed from the ground to the dark sky like a fire dragon.
The buildings in the town were overwhelmed and exploded. The cement surface laid in the town was completely lifted as if someone had peeled off a layer of skin.
The violent impact of the earth shaking the mountains made Xiao Zhan and the others, who were nearly twenty miles away from the town, squat unsteadily and fell to the ground.
And the sandstorm in transit added to the explosion. The raging winds were strong because of the strong convective effect caused by this explosion.
With the center of the town as the axis, the two opposing air currents actually formed a powerful tornado.
Flying rocks, bricks, and the town's infrastructure, including cars parked on the side of the road......
At this moment, they were all swept up by the air flow of this confrontation. And when the entire town of Berding was lifted by this explosion, the 'Heavenly Spirit Cover', naked. Exposed nearly ten meters below the surface, the so-called 'underground prison' was revealed.
The steel plate more than a meter thick was lifted, and the heavy object smashed into the ground from top to bottom caused a series of chain reactions. In many areas of the town, 'landslides' were formed in an instant.
At this time, human beings are so vulnerable in the face of nature's 'punishment'. This kind of disaster, which makes people have no time to think about it, takes away the ordinary life that we cherish so much in an instant.
"Second brother, did you miscalculate the amount of explosives? This is the power of a magnitude 5 earthquake, especially a magnitude 6. "Although the arable land in the suburbs is empty, there are still stones that have been brought over and tumbled into the water storage area.
Fortunately, both Tank and Wusheng are 'ruthless characters', and the five of them can also be called 'waiting for work', so they can be easily handled.
Faced with Wu Sheng's questioning, the lame hunter replied loudly, "My calculation is absolutely fine. It is estimated that the explosion caused convection, the result of the collision of two shock forces. β
"Head, are we going to kill or bury it? The town has not only been lifted from the 'Heavenly Spirit Cover', but if it continues like this, this 'head' will be screwed off. So are we going to sabotage this time, or are we here to save people? β
The tank's inquiry made Xiao Zhan on the side laugh dumbly. More than twenty miles away from the town have suffered such a 'blow', but what about Berding, who is in the center of the 'whirlpool'?
Such a 'terrible' storm lasted for nearly half an hour. Even if the wind subsides, the secondary danger will continue.
Originally, the weather forecast was that there was no rain, and the desert climate rarely saw rain at this time. But at this time, the sky is not only lightning and thunder, but also scared of heavy rain!
With Wu Sheng and Kestrels, Xiao Zhan and his party slowly advanced towards the town. The closer you get to the center of the explosion, the more devastated the area becomes.
Squatting down at a cave-in, the kestrel looked at the naked. The exposed cable ends carefully screen for something. Many of the tunnel mouths that have been opened are still left with daily necessities. This made several people more affirmative of their previous inference.
"With more than 30 centimeters of steel plates as the main building, cIa is really generous. If it weren't for the sandstorm and the tornado with strong convection, the most we would have done would have lifted the 'Heavenly Spirit Cover' here. β
In front of a ruin, the hunter, who had been carefully observing, said softly.
"Head, look over there......"
Near the center of the explosion, a cavity opened in pitch black. At this time, the heavy rain caused a lot of stagnant water to accumulate on the road area, and now this stagnant water is flowing continuously towards this gap.
In this way, the holes that at first glance look 'bottomless' have several places in the area of the epicenter of the explosion. Xiao Zhan specially found a hole that could go down to people, and let the relatively short kestrel go down to watch. After about ten minutes, the kestrel re-emerged and reported softly, "This should be the main hall!" It is impossible to tell how large the area is, but the main body has completely collapsed. I've got a couple of openings underneath. β
Xiao Zhan, who stood in place and thought for a while, gave an order softly: "Wusheng, you accompany the hunter to plan outside, and the tank and kestrel will go down with me to have a look." β
Just as Xiao Zhan finished saying this, dozens of bright lights appeared in front of everyone's eyes not far away.
"Pay attention to the hidden ...... first"
After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, the five brothers controlled several directions in the central area of the matter. In this 'catastrophe' of man-made and nature, Berding was directly crippled, but like the suburbs where they fled, because the terrain was flat and there were no buildings, they escaped.
This is the case in the southern suburbs, and so is the southeast region where the oil fields are located. However, the KS project department, which was very close to the town, was destroyed.
This is not only the ravages of the sandstorm, but also the chain reaction caused by the 'explosion' that Xiao Zhan carried out before.
Judging from the direction of these clusters of light, these people should be from the oil field.
Ten minutes later, several people holding lighting facilities appeared in the field of vision of Xiao Zhan and the others. For a middle-aged man, his exaggerated and performative cry made Tank almost burst out laughing.
Every time he reached the entrance of a cave, he would bend down and shout loudly in English to the entrance, "Is there anyone?" β
However, all you get is the echo of the cave.
