The elevator didn't stop.

The shrill sound of electricity sounded, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

The elevator room was not visible from the substation, but the sound waves of the footsteps were very clear, and the ten intruders were divided into three groups to search and advance, and one person remained in the elevator room.

The yellow light of the oil lamp flickered on and off, shining through the crack in the door into the substation, and a team of three was approaching.

Zhou Zhen felt a headache, it was a dead end, the location of the substation room was on the left side of the office, and the passage to the elevator and stairwell was on the right.

He can discern the direction through the sound waves, and it is not difficult to take Natasha to avoid the intruders, but she can't move her legs at all in the dark, and he is helpless about it.

In a hurry, Zhou Zhen thought of a way that was not a solution, he whispered a few words to Natasha, and then reached out and opened the main gate.

The fluorescent lamp re-illuminated the thirty-sixth floor, and the intruders immediately stopped advancing, crouching down to cover each other, and the sound waves of equipment colliding reflected in Zhou Zhi's field of vision, and he secretly beat some drums in his heart, these people were obviously good hands and well-trained.

"Who have you offended?"

Zhou Zhen pushed Natasha to the corner of the wall to hide, and saw that Natasha was also at a loss, so he had to cling to the wall and gently pushed open the wooden door.

His plan was to turn on the lights to stabilize Natasha, and then activate the phantom system to rush out, only need to attract attention so that the intruder no longer moves towards the substation, and he will have enough time to rush to the elevator hall and deal with the enemies who have dropped a single to obtain weapons.

After that, it's a hard-fought battle.

But Zhou Zhen had just activated the phantom and ran a few steps outside the substation, but he was suddenly stunned in place.

The three intruders outside the door turned out to be energy hunters from the Armored Squirrel Corporation, and he moved to look at the other six people in the office, nine of them were the same group outside A21.

These people have all been photographed in the maintenance channel, and he recognized the new face of Zhou Qian, he wanted to show up immediately to question, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and when he broke up with them outside A21, he did not reveal his destination, so why did they come to the light of science and technology, and they were also loaded with guns and ammunition like facing the enemy.

Thinking of the lone intruder, he decided to explore the elevator room.

In the elevator room, a middle-aged man stood leaning against the elevator door, his face was a little pale, and his right shoulder was bandaged.

Zhou Zhen touched Walker's side, and while turning off the phantom system, he grabbed the rifle in his hand and gently moved forward, Walker's gunshot wound did not heal, and when the rifle was out of his hand, his body also lost his balance.

Seeing that Woker was about to fall to the ground, Zhou Zhen reached out to support him.

"Old Zhou..."

Wokkel recognized Zhou Zhen at a glance, but he didn't seem to be surprised at all, which made Zhou Zhen very surprised.

But now is not the time to figure out the ins and outs, and the top priority is to keep the energy hunters in the office away from the substation.

Zhou Zhen replied loudly: "It's me, Zhou Qian!" ”

With that, he dodged to the wall and peeked through the hallway into the office area.

In the office, the three trios heard his voice, and they all stopped searching, looked at each other for a moment and quickly dispersed, but did not converge towards the elevator room, but avoided Zhou Zhen's field of vision.

Judging by the sonic feedback, they were looking for cover.

The person who came was not good, Zhou Zhen looked at Wokkel suspiciously, Workel's expression was a little embarrassed, and his left hand was secretly removed from his waist.

"What, you want to pull a gun on me?"

Zhou Zhen held the rifle to his side and put on an unguarded posture: "Come on." ”

Walker is an old employee of the armor rat, as the former leader, Zhou Zhen still has the power in his heart, he helplessly spread his hands and said: "Old Zhou, don't be like this, we are also businesslike." ”

Zhou Zhen sneered: "What business? How do you plan to do it? ”

"We know Natasha is here."

Workel was suddenly a little annoyed: "She sold the company and sold President Cheng, do you still want to protect her?" ”

"Paula."

Zhou Zhen picked up his rifle without hesitation.

"Okay then."

As soon as Wokkel's words fell, he had already pulled out his pistol in his left hand, and Zhou Zhen didn't wait for him to raise his gun, and he took a step closer to the side, and the butt of the gun slammed into his wrist.

With a click, his wrist was dislocated, and the moment the pistol landed, the rifle was already aimed at Walker's chest.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Walker's forehead, and he grinned and held his wrist: "Why bother? ”

Zhou Zhen lowered the muzzle of the gun and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

Workel hesitated for a moment and replied, "No one sent it, we came ourselves." ”

Zhou Zhen naturally knew that he was lying, and smashed the butt of another gun on his stomach: "Who told you that Natasha is in the light of technology?" ”

Wokkel's mouth was very hard, and he squatted on the ground holding his stomach, still not letting go: "No one, we guessed it ourselves." ”

Zhou Zhen raised the butt of his gun and was about to fight again, when a voice in the office shouted: "Old Zhou, don't toss Workel, I'm Zhao Qing, you let me in, I'll tell you." ”

Zhao Qing? Zhou Zhen remembered this name, he was one of the seventeen people who were retained by Zhong Xiaoguang.

Zhou Zhen replied, threw the rifle towards the entrance of the passage, picked up the pistol on the ground, and threw it over.

More than ten seconds later, Zhao Qing walked in with his hands raised, holding a portable terminal in his right hand.

"It's Mr. Thomas, he has something to tell you."

Zhao Qing stretched out his left index finger and pointed to the portable terminal.

"Thomas..."

Zhou Zhen suddenly realized, in addition to himself and Cheng Xu, the only one who knew that the leaker was in the light of science and technology was Thomas, as the major shareholder of the armored rat company, he also had the power to mobilize energy hunters, and he was confused for a while, but he didn't expect this obvious answer.

Zhou Zhen stepped forward to take over the portable terminal, the enterprise alliance was very efficient, and as soon as the case of the armored mouse company was closed, the employee's portable terminal returned to normal.

He turned on the speakerphone, and Thomas's emotionless greeting came from the terminal: "Hello, Uncle Zhou." ”

"It's me."

"They were sent by me to assist you."

Zhou Zhen sneered: "Assistance? ”

Thomas made no secret of his motives: "yes, I don't think you can do anything to Natasha, but I also don't think you're, uh, kind enough to want to keep her." ”

Kindness? Zhou Zhen knew that what he wanted to say was stupidity.

He couldn't deny that in this situation, it was really difficult to convince the public to protect Natasha, so he had to change the subject and ask, "How did you get in touch with them?" ”

"Zhao Qing will regularly inform me of the company's situation, he is a conscientious employee, please don't embarrass him."

Cold sweat oozed from Zhou Zhi's back, Thomas has been secretly controlling every move of the Armored Squirrel Company, this kid's mind is really unfathomable.

"Where's the elevator?"

"If Natasha wants to hide, she will definitely choose the upper floors, the elevator must have been repaired, and for the researchers of the energy experiment, it is easier to guide them to crack the circuit than to eat."

After listening to Thomas's questions and answers, Zhou Zhen really couldn't find a topic that could be transferred, so he had to get back to business: "Can't you let Natasha go?" ”

"I looked at the details of the case, and she didn't let Uncle Cheng go."

"Lao Cheng is here to keep you and the Armored Rat Company, Natasha just..."

Zhou Zhen couldn't defend anymore, although Cheng Xu chose death by himself, Natasha was still the initiator, and he sighed with a poor sigh: "Thomas, I don't want to see my old colleague die again." ”

"She's too dangerous."

"What if I have to take her?"

"Uncle Zhou, I don't want you to be the enemy of the Armored Rat Company."

Thomas's tone was still calm, but Zhou Zhen couldn't hear the threat, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll deal with her." ”

"Okay, take care."

Thomas hung up.

Zhou Zhen threw the portable terminal back to Zhao Qing: "It's all old colleagues, don't do it." ”

With that, he walked to the entrance of the passage and picked up the pistol on the ground.

In the office, the eight energy hunters each hid behind the cover, their guns aimed at the passage in unison, but when they saw Zhou Zhen walking out of the elevator, they all stood out from behind the cover, and at the same time put away their long and short guns.

Zhou Zhen walked to the refrigerator, took out a dozen cans of cold beer and put them on the desk, gathered the miscellaneous items on the table into a pile, and stuffed them into the suitcase where the parasitic system collection device was stored.

"I'll do what I'm supposed to do, and you guys have a drink."

He beckoned to the energy hunters.

The nine people looked at each other, and they all didn't dare to step forward with embarrassment.

"Damn, I'm afraid I'll poison you?"

Zhou Zhen cursed, picked up a can and took a sip of it himself, and then threw the beer to them separately.

"Drink it, Lao Zhou won't harm us."

Zhao Qing helped Woker to the sofa, opened his can and drank it, and the rest of the people let down their guard and finally drank happily.

Zhou Zhen and everyone dried two cans, and walked to the substation room with a suitcase.

Seeing this, Zhao Qing also put down his beer and followed him vigilantly.

Pulling open the wooden partition door, Zhou Zhen pointed sideways inside: "If you don't worry about me, welcome to visit." ”
