Chapter 321: Power Outage?
Three hours ago, around 8 o'clock local time, he was happily eating hot pot and singing songs in his tent, this kind of food from the Oriental Huaxia country is his favorite, and even after arriving here, he will prepare some ingredients to set up a simple hot pot to have a good time.
However, just when he finished the bottom of the pot and was about to use it, he didn't want the entire camp to suddenly go dark, and the hot pot he had just made could only stop temporarily.
Faulty circuit?
This was John's first reaction at the time.
Often performing tasks outside, it is not the first time he has encountered a situation like this when there is a problem with the circuit, and it has long been commonplace.
After all, it's not normal for a temporary circuit like this to have a short circuit or something.
John immediately put down the cutlery in his hand and called William, the engineer in the team, loudly.
Although William is young, he has more than two missions to experience, like this kind of power outage problem, it should be handy, but what makes him a little depressed is that not only the circuit is faulty, but even the flashlight, night vision devices and other equipment are unusable.
This discovery made his heart chuckle at once, for he was so familiar with the situation that he could not forget that before entering the island, a large chunk of the sea had paralyzed all electronic devices and could only use sailboats.
But although there is a guess in his heart, William can't give up directly, he still needs to try, even if it's dark now, he can only barely see some things, but he is the only engineer in the team, who else can go if he doesn't go?
Fumbling his way to the location of the generator in his memory, William checked the nearby equipment one by one with his senses, because he couldn't see it, so he could only slow down and try carefully, which also made the time drag on for a long time, and before he knew it, 3 hours had passed.
"William, is it okay, why hasn't there been any reaction for so long, have you found something?"
On the side, John's voice sounded again, and the fact that he could ask this question also showed that he was also aware of something, but he was not sure yet, or rather, he did not want to believe it for the time being.
"Yes, Commander, I think you can see that this is not an ordinary electrical fault, but just like the situation on the outskirts of the island, which has been shrouded in that chaotic magnetic field......"
"Damn it!"
When John heard this, he slapped the generator next to him fiercely, and then without saying a word, he returned to his tent by virtue of the location in his memory.
"Damn it! I knew it! The inside of that barrier must be extraordinary! They must be aliens, they've discovered us, and now they're doing something about it! ”
As he spoke, John picked up all the items in the tent and tried them one by one, including communicators, telephones, watches, flashlights, night vision devices, and other things, whether they were military or civilian, but the final result was the same, that is, they were all paralyzed.
"Fake!!"
John threw away the mechanical watch in his hand, which was given to him by his wife, and he bought something from a world-renowned watch brand, which was full of quiet pure mechanical parts, and was also equipped with a set of magnetic kinetic energy devices, but now it is completely unusable.
Holding on to his last hope, he reached for a military compass, left the tent and went outside, observing the situation above in the faint moonlight.
Sure enough, the anomaly of the hands completely confirmed the harsh reality - the magnetic field here has become chaotic.
John stood in front of the tent in a daze, his eyes subconsciously scanning the entire camp, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
Now, all the equipment has stopped working, and in the tent behind him, the communicator has been paralyzed, and he is unable to report his situation to the seaside base.
10 meters ahead, it should be Kando's tent, I don't know what kind of mood these guys are in now, and what are they doing?
The two speedboats parked on the shore of that damn lake shouldn't be going to work.
And in the open space to the east of his camp, the helicopters that came to support the racks, don't even think of flying, I'm afraid they will stay here all the time, right?
Things seem to have taken to the worst all at once.
John felt that coming here was the worst decision he could have made.
Ever since he got here, it seemed that everything had started to go wrong, first when he met the monster in the lake, and then somehow lost several of his teammates.
Then the helicopter came to the rescue, and it crashed into the damn barrier.
Now, even his own camp is finished, all the equipment, vehicles, planes, all are unusable, and even his desire to evacuate now has become a luxury.
Looking at the sparkling lake not far away, it was a wonderful natural picture, but in John's eyes, it looked extremely strange.
It was as if behind the lake, there were a pair of eyes watching him, trying to take advantage of the dark night to devour himself.
Thinking of this, John couldn't help but feel excited, and a cold wind blew, which brought him back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.
"No! It's dangerous here right now! We have to get out of here! This time, the magnetic field is most likely the result of the unknown existence inside the barrier, this is an attack! They'll definitely come to us! We have to go right away! ”
This thought had just popped into his mind, and not far away, a burst of gunfire suddenly came, and the sound of the R479 special modification made him extremely familiar.
"It's Jack!"
John immediately ran in the direction where the gunshots came, stumbling several times on the road, but he did not dare to stop at all, and went straight to the other end of the camp.
"Tom! Is that you! What's going on!? ”
Before John arrived, the peculiar, somewhat hoarse roar had already been heard.
"Commander? Be...... It's ...... me."
A black guy in black clothes and black pants stood there and said, if it weren't for his mouth full of white teeth, John would have almost hit it directly.
"What the hell is going on! Why did you shoot all of a sudden!? ”
"Commander, it's okay, it was just a misunderstanding."
Suddenly a voice made John startled, he quickly turned his head to look at his side, it turned out that there was a black guy standing here who was also dressed in black clothes and black pants, he was Jerry, and Tom were two brothers.
"Jerry? Are you here too? What do you mean by misunderstanding? ”
"It's a bird...... A bird flew over there and landed a lump of bird droppings on Tom...... He thought it was an enemy in the barrier, so he fired. ”
Jerry explained.
John was stunned, he didn't expect this to be the case, when he breathed a sigh of relief, and then, he immediately glared at the two of them, and said angrily:
"Tom, Jerry! You two, when you go out in the future, you are not allowed to carry black clothes in your personal belongings! ”
“???”
The two black guys were puzzled when they heard this, and they couldn't help but show question marks on their faces.
