Chapter 143: Seizure of power

Zhou Yao's face was expressionless, and he turned around and left from the monitoring room.

In front of the iron gate of the passage, several soldiers raised their guns in their hands, and Zhou Yao stepped forward and stood at the forefront.

"Open the door!" He commanded as he touched the walkie-talkie in his ear.

The first iron gate slowly opened.

Zhou Yao strode forward and pulled the bolt.

"Second, open the door!"

The second iron door slowly slid open to one side, revealing a man with angry eyes and pounced on him.

Zhou Yao's muzzle sank, "Bang!" The man who rushed over burst out of his knees with bright red blood and fell to the ground.

The person rushing behind him froze suddenly.

"Everyone, go back to your room at once! Immediately! Zhou Yao strode forward with a gun. Behind him, there were people who were also heavily armed.

"Don't listen to him! Sooner or later, they will kill us, even if they live, it is better to live than to die, fight with them! The man who fell to the ground clutched his knees, struggled to sit up, and shouted.

Zhou Yao stopped talking, just holding a gun, stepping on the flesh and blood all over the ground, and pressing it up with the soldiers behind him.

Even the infected mutants were just ordinary people before, and the instinct of the soldiers in the face of loaded guns was fear.

Moreover, they remembered their evil deeds the night before, how they tore apart their companions and sent flesh to their own mouths.

When surrounded by the same people as them, they can go crazy, they can eat people, and they can smash everything they want to smash. But in the face of the muzzle, they flinched.

Not just because of fear, but also because of conscience, and also because of luck.

Some retreated into the next room, others trembled with their legs, and they were holding on to the bloodstained wall, and they were also retreating.

"Ahhhh The person who was shot howled unwillingly and glared at Zhou Yao angrily.

The two soldiers stepped forward, their guns pointed at the man's back, and Zhou Yao strode over and reached out to grab the man's arm.

At this moment, the man suddenly jumped up with the support of his other leg and rushed towards Zhou Yao.

The crowd behind him suddenly stopped, as if they wanted to follow suit.

Zhou Yao had already taken precautions, and the man's figure had just moved, and he had already flown up and kicked the man's injured knee.

In the man's long scream, Zhou Yao grabbed the man's arm and pulled it back, raising his hand to slash at the back of the man's neck.

The screaming stopped abruptly, and the people stopped.

Two researchers squeezed in from behind and drugged the man, dragging him away.

Zhou Yao looked coldly at the people who were still in the passage. Under his gaze, the crowd slowly retreated, disappearing behind the fence.

The broken fence was welded horizontally with several steel bars. The soldiers advanced room by room with their guns in hand.

The maintenance personnel also came to replace the camera in fear.

After all the rooms were reinforced, the high-pressure water cannon was pulled over.

"Professors, in view of the unexplained crisis on the second floor last night, we will have the right to review all the experiments and progress in the institute in the future."

Zhou Yao sat in the main seat of the conference room and looked at the person in charge of each floor.

His expression was serious, his tone was resolute, and he brought great oppression to the congregation.

"Captain Zhou, the research of our institute is confidential, and it can only be reported directly to the provincial research institute." Several of the people in charge looked at each other, and one of them said.

"Do you want to see the second floor last night?" Zhou Yao looked at the person in charge coldly.

"We belong to different departments, you have tasks, and we also have them, can we ask Captain Zhou to coordinate with our superiors, we can't make this decision."

The man said, and the others chimed in.

"I'll talk to your superiors." Zhou Yao's tone slowed down, "But in order to prevent the same thing from happening, guards will be added to each layer, and we will send soldiers to stand by at the entrances of each passage." ”

Everyone nodded.

No one will underestimate their own safety and the safety of others, and soldiers entering are acceptable in them.

"Team Zhou, the landline phone can't be reached." Suddenly, there was an alarm sound on the intercom.

Zhou Yao was stunned, held the earphone and said, "What about the mobile phone?" What about the network? How much range? ”

"The mobile phone and the Internet are still connected, and we are contacting Unicom, but Unicom's contact number is not answered. I am contacting the place on the Internet and mobile phone, do you want to send someone over? ”

"Nope! I'm going to get out of here! Zhou Yao put down his hand and looked at the person in charge, "There is bad news, the landline phone cannot be connected." ”

"What is the reason?" The few people sitting there were all panicked. The landline phone can't be connected, and then the mobile one can't be contacted, and then the network?

In addition to contacting J Squadron through walkie-talkies, there is only one landline telephone.

The affairs of the second floor were sealed last night, and they only knew that the infected people on each floor were restless, but they only learned the incomplete truth today.

And now they have completely lost contact with the outside world.

Suddenly, the light above the conference room flashed, and the moment it went out turned on again.

There's a power outage! Backup power is on!

An interruption in a landline telephone can mean that the base phone station has been damaged, or that there has been an accident at the most basic source.

Natural factors are almost impossible, and as long as the electricity is there, all those devices are automated.

And the power was suddenly cut off, and a large area of the city was paralyzed.

Zhou Yao rushed out of the research institute, and cold sweat broke out.

"Team Zhou, Team Li's phone has not been answered." A squad leader ran over and asked.

"Team Li has a confidential mission, and I will act as an agent for the squadron affairs for the time being." Zhou Yao replied mechanically.

"What do we do now?"

Zhou Yao stood up suddenly.

There are very few garrisons in this fourth-tier city, and even J has only one squadron. The military districts of the important departments have already sent troops to garrison, and there are still problems at the moment......

In the event of a power outage, both China Mobile and Unicom must have backup power supply, which should be able to support it for a period of time. But now everything is interrupted, and it should be that the base station itself is in trouble.

Power outages, interruptions in communication, and loss of contact with superiors also meant the loss of contact with superiors. Maybe this is an opportunity to take the institute and the squadron into your own hands.

In the high-rise, Li Yu was still holding his mobile phone and swiping the screen, and suddenly the video couldn't be opened, and he noticed that the network was interrupted.

"Captain Li, the network is gone." Li Yu held his mobile phone and looked up.

Li Li glanced at the icon in the lower right corner of the computer, frowned, and took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, there was no signal. There is no signal even in the upper left corner.

"Is the next step to run out of electricity and water? And gas? Li Yu asked.

Cheng Jiayi and Du Yiyi came out of the room one by one. It's been nine days of chaos, water and electricity have always been there, and they are constantly evading, except for the first day, Cheng Jiayi has never done anything to reserve water and food.

Besides, they didn't stay anywhere for a long time, and they didn't have the conditions to stock up on food and water.
