The hall was pitch black and dead silent.

Everyone froze, one moment they were sitting in front of the computer screen and typing code frantically, and the next moment it suddenly went black in front of them, and all the images were extinguished.

The emergency lights flickered on, people left the computer keyboards, got up and looked around, the people who reacted quickly had turned on the flashlights, the pillars of light dangled in the darkness, everyone was at a loss, no one knew what was happening, small voices rang out, and the hall gradually became chaotic.

Abraham was stunned, and he realized what had happened...... The power is out.

"What's going on?" Abel burst out, "Why is there a power outage?" Find someone to fix it for me! Fuck me fix it soon! ”

They were still a second away from repairing Omega, but at the last minute, the research institute actually lost power?

It's like his daughter is seriously ill and dying, lying in the operating room for surgery, the doctors tried their best to complete the work, and finally scrambled for a glimmer of life in the dangerous situation of nine deaths, and before everyone had time to be happy, just when the wound was about to be sutured and declared successful, the power in the hospital suddenly went out.

At this time, the doctors should be confused, and the father who was waiting outside the operating room should blow up the hospital.

There was a loud "boom" outside the door, and the floor shook violently, and the chandelier overhead clanged and fell.

The hall was noisy, people started shouting and screaming, and everyone heard the explosion just now, it sounded like some kind of high explosive, which was obviously not the sound that should be seen in the laboratory.

"What's going on? What was the sound just now? ”

"Send someone to find out! Where are the security forces? Where are the troops? ”

At first, someone stood up and shouted for information, but a series of rapid and fierce gunshots outside the door silenced their voices, and the central hall was silent for a few seconds, followed by everyone screaming. The sound of gunfire was a sign that something was wrong, and there was a fierce exchange of fire outside the institute, and everyone was rushing out in a panic, tables and chairs toppling over, and people pushing and tripping each other in the dark.

Abraham stood motionless in the dark, staring at the dark screen in a daze, he couldn't see the final result, the red and green progress bars were 99 percent, and the hall suddenly lost power just as the winner was about to be decided, only a second away.

Abel had a little luck in his heart, he hoped that the repair operation would succeed in the moment before the power was cut off, but he didn't see it.

But reason told him that the repair had failed, that no matter how high the level of the technicians were, they would not be able to write code on a computer that had lost power, that the power supply in the hall would be cut off, and that the repair progress bar would be stagnant at 99 percent, but that the Omega system server would not stop crashing with its own generator set.

Within two seconds of the screen going off, the Omega system should have completely collapsed.

They're still a little bit behind...... On the computer screen, the blank space on the progress bar is only a millimeter wide, and it is this millimeter of distance that makes them completely lose the child.

Abel didn't know what he was thinking, his hands and feet were cold, and his brain was sluggish, so he didn't even hear the explosion or the gunshots until someone behind him pounced on him and crushed him down.

A volley of bullets swept over their heads, pulling out a sharp line of fire and into the opposite wall.

Abraham was pressed to the floor, someone was holding Abel's mouth and nose tightly, pressing his body against his back, and the two were hiding behind the computer desk. Bullets flew above their heads, the sound of gunfire was deafening, and the light of automatic rifles leaped in the darkness, shattering the computer monitors and consoles on their desks, and splashing glass and shards.

The sound of gunfire gradually fell, and the hall fell silent, and the groans of the wounded were faintly heard, apparently the gunmen had emptied their magazines, and they stepped into the hall as they changed them, the sound of their military boots on the floor was dull and heavy.

There are quite a few people listening to the footsteps, and there should be five or six.

"Don't make a sound." The man whispered in Abel's ear, and Abraham heard a familiar voice, relieved himself slightly, and stopped struggling.

The person who saved his life was the deputy director of the Omega Project, Richard Morey, an old technician in his fifties, more than twenty years older than Abel, and the oldest and most experienced person in the institute, and the head of the Omega Project was supposed to be him.

The two of them fell on the floor and moved slowly, crawling out little by little, poking their heads out to look.

Abel's eyes widened in horror, the central hall was like a hell on earth at the moment, a large number of corpses were piled up at the gate, they were all technicians trying to escape, just happened to bump into the armed thugs who entered the door, only to be fired indiscriminately, and the hot blood overflowed the cables on the ground, soaking the carpet.

The militants walked into the hall and began to search for survivors, their automatic rifles loaded with tactical flashlights, the beams of light swept between the computer desks, and the occasional wounded who were not killed by bullets, the thugs stomped on the wounded and then pulled out their pistols and shot them in the head...... It was a massacre, and it was clear that the thugs had no intention of leaving them alive.

Morey dragged Abraham back, hiding behind a computer desk in the innermost part of the hall, where the mob could not be found for a while.

"Who are they?" Abraham asked softly, trying to calm his heartbeat, his voice trembling, "How did they get in?" ”

Morey stretched out his finger and pointed at Abel, who looked in the direction of his finger, and an armed thug dressed in black walked past under the emergency lights, his figure illuminated by the light, and Abraham could see the white letters on the man's back: EDF.

Earth-Defense-Force, which translates to Earth Defense.

This is the only remaining cave in downtown Shanghai...... Maxwell's team members used to laugh at this stupid name, but their name is stupid, but they are not stupid, these rabble have the ability to invade the safe zone! The invasion of the institute was a dereliction of duty on Maxwell's part, which should not have happened, but he was too careless and too contemptuous of his opponents.

This organization with a stupid name has the ability to quietly hack into the institute and take out all security, which is obviously not a common thing.

It has long been rumored that there are talents who can conduct special operations in the caves, but the security zone has not attracted attention.

"We must get out!" Morey whispered that there were six armed thugs entering the hall, and six of them fanned out into the hall, approaching the computer desk where the two were hiding. The cave is a destitute bandit who is not equipped with night vision devices, so they can only rely on flashlights to search for targets, which gives the two a chance to escape.

There are three doors in the central hall, one of which has been blocked by armed thugs from the cave, and going out through the gate is bound to run into the enemy, which is a dead end. The hall also has two side doors, located on either side of the large screen...... This is the only way to survive.

They had to escape through the side door without attracting anyone's attention.
