Chapter 76: Martial Law (3)

Maxwell Sean sat at his desk with his hands crossed and his laptop in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The former U.S. Marine Corps colonel was drinking when the alarm sounded, and Maxwell rarely drank to keep his head up, but sometimes made an exception...... For example, when mourning an old friend.

He has a bottle of Chateau Latour from 1982, a powerful red wine from ChΓ’teau Latour, which is considered by many wine drinkers to be the emperor of wines. Sean had spent an afternoon looking through the files, the heavy, yellowed paper papers that were two meters tall and he would sort through them every month, sometimes stumbling upon them...... This old man rarely recalls the past, but there are some things that can only be buried but cannot be forgotten.

It's like those eventful years spent together.

When the old man looks at those times, he may hold a glass of wine and pay tribute to those people and things that were buried by his own hands.

The door was slammed open.

A middle-aged man with unkempt hair stumbled into the office.

"What's wrong?" The colonel frowned and looked up.

By the light of the emergency lights, Sean looked the middle-aged man up and down, still dressed in oily blue overalls, with unkempt hair and a wrench in his left hand.

"What the hell is going on? What's going on? The middle-aged man waved the wrench in his hand and pointed out the window, and sharp alarms and red light swept through the air, "Level 1 alarm? ”

"As you can see......," the Colonel nodded, "we have confirmed that the Academy has been invaded. ”

"Invasion?!" The middle-aged man was stunned and a little confused...... He was blown up by the sound of the siren, the middle-aged man was far from expecting the situation to be so serious, he was originally sleeping in the basement of the main building, before falling asleep, everything was safe and sound, and when he woke up, the alarm whistled and the gunshots rang out, and the world changed as soon as his eyes were closed and opened, faster than crossing.

"Yes." The Colonel nodded, "You should be glad we found the invading hunters in time. ”

"How is this possible?" The middle-aged man muttered, "There are more than three-meter-high walls and high-voltage power grids on the periphery of the academy, as well as guard towers and searchlights, what can break through such layers of defense?" ”

"You know it's possible." Sean said coldly, "It's not like something like this hasn't happened for nothing......"

The middle-aged man was silent, he still remembered that cold and rainy night, it was a nightmare buried in the deepest part of his heart.

"Surveillance cameras captured the intruder." "They miraculously appeared in the safe zone without warning, and if I had to use any analogy, it was like falling from ...... sky."

"From the sky?" The middle-aged man was stunned, "Did you jump in?" ”

"I don't know." Sean shook his head, "Theoretically, there shouldn't be any hunters who can sneak into the academy silently, but this time we almost missed those monsters, and the specific situation can only be known until tomorrow after dawn to send someone to investigate on the spot......"

"Can you confirm what kind of hunter it is?" The middle-aged man asked.

Sean dragged the video playback progress bar on his computer to its original position.

The middle-aged man put his face up.

The image quality on the computer screen is poor, full of noise, and the grass is faintly recognizable, with nothing on it.

The two stared at the screen, watching the time below the video skip by second, and their breathing became heavy.

The middle-aged man propped up his desk, and the solemn atmosphere was like watching a horror movie, and the plot developed to the moment before the female ghost appeared, and the audience would unconsciously hold their breath.

Something suddenly burst in from the right side of the field of vision, and the extremely dim light and snowflakes all over the screen made it impossible for the middle-aged man to tell what it was.

The hunter on the screen does not linger and disappears to the other side of the camera's field of view.

The video is only thirty seconds long and ends quickly.

The middle-aged man frowned and let the video replay again. The final picture is frozen on those red eyes.

"How?" Sean asked.

The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief, straightened up, and moved his wrists, he had just been holding the edge of the table tightly, his palms were full of cold sweat.

"No, even if you sharpen the image, it's impossible to make out it." The middle-aged man shook his head, "Where is this camera placed?" ”

"On the fence north of the college...... It is about three meters above the ground. ”

"Are there any other surveillance footage?"

The colonel shook his head, "This is the only camera that has captured this guy, this thing has been moving in the blind corner of the camera's monitoring, and the time that appears in the surveillance is no more than thirty seconds, in fact, this thing was discovered by Phoebe's child, she happened to be on duty in the monitoring center today, and that child has the ability to monitor more than fifty monitors at the same time, if it is replaced by someone else...... The hunter might have been missed. ”

The middle-aged man only now realizes what Sean meant by "he should be happy...... If a hunter does sneak into the safe zone and go undetected, the consequences are dire.

"It's not in line with the hunter's habits." The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and then said loudly, "The reason why the academy has not been attacked by hunters for so long is because hunters have their own fixed range of activities, and they are cautious creatures by nature, and they will not rashly intrude into areas they don't understand...... Why did a hunter suddenly invade the Academy? ”

To date, there has only been one recorded invasion of the Academy...... However, the reason for that invasion was largely human error, and it was completely different from this raid.

"I don't know why." Sean shook his head, "We don't even know how that thing infiltrated the academy without a trace, and it even dodged all the surveillance with precision...... Hunters shouldn't have such a high IQ. ”

"It's ...... The Killer? The middle-aged man asked.

"I don't know...... The current situation is too confusing and there are so many things we don't know. Sean shook his head, sighed, and leaned back in his chair, "I'm no less shocked than you, and I don't know more than you." ”

"So what do you know now?" The middle-aged man asked, "What other useful information do you have?" ”

"It's a pity...... I don't know anything. ”

The middle-aged man sat down on the couch across from his desk and looked up at Sean, "What about the people in the academy?" Are you all arranged? ”

"The ordinary people have all taken refuge in the bunker, and they can hold out there until ......the alarm is lifted," replied the colonel, "The security services are all in operation, they are currently assembled in the cafeteria to provide defense for the main building, and the hummingbird hunting team is also fully dispatched, and the end brain is directing them." ”

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and fell on the sofa, he was very worried about the safety of the academy's security guards, although they were fully armed, they were just ordinary people in the end, and the survival rate of lonely ordinary people encountering monsters like hunters was almost zero. But as long as everyone is dealt with automatic rifles and grenade launchers in the dining room, the metal tables in the dining room can be used as makeshift cover and shields. At this moment, the restaurant will be transformed into a heavily armed battle fortress, and the result of a hunter breaking into the restaurant may be a salvo of hundreds of automatic rifles and being beaten into a sieve, and ordinary people can hold on to the restaurant until dawn...... This is the strength of human beings, and their armed groups have always been invincible.

As for the hummingbird group, each of them is a natural hunter...... At least the middle-aged people are not qualified to worry about them, and two heavy assault mechs can tear apart a marauder alive.

Judging from the current situation, although the attack was sudden, the development of the situation was not out of control, and the defense forces of the security zone had already launched a counterattack at the first time, and the next thing to do was to search for the hunter who broke into the academy and kill him.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man, who was a little relieved, began to look at the colonel's office, his eyes lit up by the wine in the old man's hand, "Latour Manor? ”

He didn't wait for Sean to react, then he jumped up and hugged the wine in his arms, and laughed as he could, "Sean, you miser, you don't usually drink and don't let me drink, so let me seize the opportunity......"

At a time when a bottle of brandy was more precious than gold, this fine red wine from ChΓ’teau Latour could only be found in the Colonel's private wine cabinet.

The old man had a calm face and was indifferent.

The middle-aged man found the goblet and began to cork it, and his hands and feet were nimble.

"If this crisis can be passed unharmed......," said the old man, "the bottle of wine will be delivered to you." ”

"Oh?" The middle-aged man wiped the goblet with a tablecloth, "What's the problem?" ”

"Just contacted me ......," Maxwell Sean looked up, "the number of hunters in the academy has risen to three. ”

The middle-aged man's movements stopped, and the glass fell to the ground and shattered.

He was stunned...... This situation is not out of control, but it is simply beyond his imagination.
