Chapter 11 Power Plants

Atlantic City is now an interesting place to be, where the day and night are equally dead, but in essence, the day and night are just as lively. No pop-up window update fast //

Apparent calm does not represent true calm, in fact, everyone in the city, every second, is tense and ready for a life-and-death battle, perhaps facing a mutated monster, perhaps a hostile soldier, or even friendly firepower that has lost their minds.

There are limits to human beings, and most of us understand that it can be difficult to keep a person focused for forty-five minutes, let alone hours or even days.

Fatigue can drive people crazy, collapse is far easier than imagined, anyone can try at home, use a video camera to record their changes, as long as more than 30 hours do not fit their eyes, do not doze off, then people, personality will become usually completely different, the brain has no spare energy to hide and control their emotions, memory and thinking become slow, serious cases will appear confusion and disorders.

At this moment, most of the Imperial soldiers, partisans, members of the Freedom Front, and civilians in Atlantic City are already in this situation.

A good night's sleep is likely to mean that you can't afford to sleep for a long time, and a team with more people can rest in batches as planned, but the kind of team with a few to dozens of people will have very little sleep time. Because of the strength of the mutant monster, there must be at least two people standing guard, and this is only the case of encountering one monster, if two monsters come at the same time, what if the two sentry ones are killed instantly before the alarm is raised?

The essential. I have to talk about mutant monsters, for ordinary people, they are too deadly, and it is not easy to kill one. A team of less than ten people, even if it is detected in time and has the upper hand, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no dead after killing a monster.

Of course, there is no fixed frequency of monster attacks, you may not meet one in ten hours, or you may encounter ten in an hour, in either case, you will not be able to rest normally.

It's been a few days of tossing. The mental state of the people in the city can be imagined. Cities are especially dangerous at night, where swaggering down the streets can be killed by bullets fired from nowhere, because those who shoot are no longer able to tell if you're friendly or human.

this night. The gambling snake scouted around at great speed, almost all over the city. No one noticed him, not even monsters.

Along the way, Gambling Snake found many hidden civilian corpses, some of which were indeed hidden. But without exception, all of those who tried to hide in one place died, and their bodies were all devoured. It seems that the way those monsters find their prey is by no means relying solely on sight, according to the speculation of the gambling snake. "Smell" and "heat" are the two methods they are most likely to use.

Feng Xie's sketch of the city still had an outline in the mind of the gambling snake, and he went to the shopping mall. I wanted to see how the civilians gathered were, and as soon as I got there. Just across the street, he smelled a thick smell of blood.

It seems to have become a lair of mutant creatures, and there are at least a dozen monsters lurking in the huge shopping mall. It seems that the civilians have not been able to hold this position, and the food and supplies inside are now used as bait for the monsters to hunt, and there are still some blind creatures who try to go in and explore, maybe their sense of smell is already used to smelling blood, maybe they are too tired to think, or maybe they are just because they are too hungry. All in all, walking into a shopping mall is definitely a very bad decision.

Seeing this, the gambling snake felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he was worried that the person he was looking for in this mission had died in the shopping mall. However, it occurred to him that the Jeff father and son he met during the day were also civilians, and they were most likely escaped from the mall, or ...... It was because Jeff's father was infected that they were kicked out. This kind of thing is also normal, a large group of people in order to protect themselves, often do not hesitate to push others into the fire pit and issue them a gun, even if it is the so-called humanitarianism.

Maybe when he gets back, he can get more information from Jeff, so Gambler didn't jump to conclusions, just left the mall and continued what he had to do, trying to find the other survivors of Evolution.

............

"Number 037, here is number 025. 037 please answer, over. ”

"This is 037, over. ”

"037, report your location and the state of the battle, over. ”

"We're ......" suddenly came a sharp beep from the communication device.

"Number 037, we can't lock your location, please answer. ”

"Sir...... Here......" The beep interrupted the response again.

Soon, No. 025 completely lost the signal of the other party.

"Again, after entering the power plant, there is unknown interference in communications. An HL Army commander in a colonel-level military uniform muttered solemnly.

The messenger beside him said, "Sir...... In order to restore power, this is already the third missing squad. ”

"I know ......," said the Colonel, "but we must continue to try, and only by restoring the power will we have a chance to evacuate Atlantic City on the levitating shuttle, or even if the catastrophe of the mutant creatures is resolved, it will be a besieged city, and we will either be captured or killed in battle." He furrowed his eyebrows and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Order the troops, prepare for battle, and at dawn, we will directly attack with a large force." ”

"But...... Sir, the reason for the disappearance of the team before ...... "The words of the communication soldier are not implying that there are mutated creatures in the power plant, but it means something else, after all, it is impossible for monsters to use instruments to interfere with communication signals.

"Needless to say, even if there is an ambush of a regiment of troops inside, we have to wait, every extra day of waiting, one less day of supplies, a few more deaths, I'm fed up! Lao Tzu doesn't want to die in this damn place. The Colonel shouted.

"Yes, my subordinates obey. "The signal soldier has to be ordered to go.

The colonel saw the other side walk out of the makeshift command post (an office in a casino). Only then did he show his fatigue, and he opened his hands to support his forehead, he had a terrible headache and was sick. I haven't slept for a few days, and the pressure is huge, how can I not have a seizure.

He took the last cigarette out of his jacket pocket and lit it for himself: "South Africa, Dragon, Western Europe...... It's North America now, ...... exhale," he spat out a cigarette and at the same time seemed to sigh: "Although the world is big, but as soldiers of the Empire, maybe we will have nowhere to escape......"

............

The blood owl and Zuo Dao came to the power plant together. Along the way, I didn't even encounter a single monster.

According to Zuo Dao's understanding, this is the exposure of the blood lord's domineering spirit, which scared those creatures away.

The two entered directly through the gate. As soon as he took two steps into the power plant, the blood lord suddenly said, "Someone is here." ”

Zuo Dao let out a low shout, jumped back, opened his arms, and made a street-like martial arts move: "Where?!"

They were in the distance in the darkness in front of them. At this time, there were footsteps, and a man's voice sounded: "You are also a capable person." As he spoke, the man walked as far as his eyes could see.

As soon as he saw him, Zuo Dao knew his identity. The odd uniform was reserved for high-level members of Evolution.

"Since you can sense my presence, it means that you are also a little capable. But...... I advise you to go back. The man's face was as stiff and wooden as most of the senior members of Evolution. It looks like the face of a living zombie.

The blood lord looked at the man for two seconds, then walked past him as if he were air, and threw a sentence to Zuo Dao: "You can deal with this person." ”

"Hey, what's going on?" said Zuo Dao.

"He's too weak for me to be interested. The blood owl added.

"You're looking for death!" the man shouted, and he turned to catch up with the blood owl and put one hand on his shoulder, but after a few seconds, there was surprise in his eyes.

The blood lord turned his head and said coldly, "You shouldn't have turned your back on that guy." ”

The man fell to his knees almost involuntarily at the moment he heard the words, and the sword qi of the left path unceremoniously sneaked up from behind, piercing his knees.

"It's really weak...... Zuo Dao saw that the other party was so easy to be hit, and he became bolder, thinking: Anyway, this thing can't even stand up, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to restrain him in the past.

As a result, the man simply fell on his back, straightened his arm, and unleashed an invisible attack on the approaching left path behind him.

With Zuo Dao's current cultivation, he is very sensitive to energy, and what is invisible to the naked eye, he can also gap, in the face of this sudden attack, Zuo Dao stabilized Siping Dama, his upper body leaned back, and dodged this wave of attacks with a particularly ugly movement, and the invisible force only slightly rubbed the tip of Zuo Dao's chin.

"Wow! what the hell is this!" Zuo Dao touched his chin, and the part that was rubbed was a little paralyzed.

"Electromagnetic waves. The Blood Owl said, "But it's too weak." He continued to walk forward, not afraid of the other party attacking from behind, in fact, the man had already tried when he pressed his shoulder.

The blood owl covered the energy defense of the whole body in an unconscious state, and that person couldn't break through, so it was indeed weak.

"Compared to the electric shock of thunder and fire, he is far behind. The blood lord commented disdainfully: "I rely on the bioelectricity generated by the genetically modified body, huh...... With this kind of power, the cure for Internet addiction is almost there. ”

Zuo Dao asked, "Hey, then how can I subdue him?! ”

"Discount his shoulder. The blood owl said this in a tone like "put on slippers" or "turn left at the intersection ahead", which is an understatement, and he doesn't take destroying other people's bodies seriously at all. As he spoke, he walked easily to a wall and looked around at the map of the power plant.

How could that old man sit still and wait for death, he quickly rolled over and rolled, repeating his old tricks, and wanted to attack Zuo Dao again. This time Zuo Dao is prepared, the situation is very different, in terms of the obscenity of this guy, he can use a line commonly used by Saint Seiya to describe his actual combat ability - it is useless to use the same move against him twice!

Condensed the sword qi of the god on his fingertips, and with two sounds, the incoming electromagnetic impact was slashed into smoke. Zuo Dao himself took advantage of the situation and bullied himself, found the right time, and kicked the old man who was sitting on the ground and couldn't stand up.

The other party was kicked by him so that his eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets, and he couldn't lift it for a long time. If it weren't for the genetically modified body. Ordinary people's hearts are so suddenly left to come, I'm afraid they will hang up directly.

At this moment, Zuo Dao was more relieved, so that the other party would not be able to resist fiercely for at least a minute. He gathered his abilities and stepped forward to break the man's shoulders with his bare hands.

In the end, it was genetically modified people, who were so rectified by Zuo Dao, and they didn't scream, their pain nerves had already been paralyzed, just so that they could not be affected by pain in the battle, and they could concentrate calmly at all times.

The blood owl was in the distance, looking at the map on the wall for a moment. Then, with a punch, he shattered the glass and took the map out and walked back. Throw to the left: "Let's go." ”

"What about this person?" asked Zuo Dao very uninterestingly.

"You want to carry him on your back?" the blood owl asked rhetorically.

"Then why don't he take the opportunity to bite my face to pieces?" Zuo Dao replied.

"Then what are you asking, of course, to throw him here. The blood owl gestured to the left with his eyes, and looked at the man's legs and shoulders: "He can't run far if he crawls with his chin." ”

Zuo Dao's eyes rolled, and he turned to the man again: "I'll break his waist too, lest he run away with a roll." ”

"Don't! I won't run! I'll stay here!" the man was shocked. Hurry up and beg for mercy.

Zuo Dao sneered: "I will believe your nonsense!" He has always judged other people's integrity to the same standard as himself, so he is almost never fooled.

"I broke my waist, and then I couldn't move. The Blood Owl reminded.

Zuo Dao turned his head and looked at the man again "reluctantly": "Okay, let you go for the time being." If you run away......"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" The old man, who was still quite arrogant when he met, after understanding the methods and perverted personalities of these two. Completely turned into a coward.

The blood lord and Zuo Dao threw the man in the first building after entering the main entrance of the power plant, and then walked inside.

"That's right. He won't be eaten by monsters, will he?" Zuo Dao walked for a while, and suddenly remembered this incident.

"It's a thermal power plant. Blood Stalker said.

"What do you mean?"

"Temperature. The blood owl explained with a leaping mind: "The mutated monsters in the city are all cold-blooded animals, and their bodies are also kept cold. Although the power plant has stopped working, the residual temperature here is also significantly higher than in other parts of the city. So if you look at the nearby area, there are no monsters. ”

"I see. Zuo Dao thought: "That's right, no wonder Feng Xie's ability is very effective against those mutated monsters. He turned his head: "Then the evolution guy we met knew this, so he hid in the power plant, right?"

The blood lord didn't answer, he was thinking about his plan, suddenly, he stopped and said: "That side is the main plant, and the building next to it is the office place, I'll go to check a few engine units and assess the situation, you go to the office building to find useful information, such as how to deal with the drawings in this situation, or paper documents such as backup plans." ”

Zuo Dao listened to the words of the blood owl, and took out the blueprint that the blood owl had just given himself from his pocket: "Hey...... Did you memorize the map?"

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu tore it off for you to see. The blood lord replied, "Also, don't fold up the map, you should roll it up." With that, he walked away.

Zuo Dao was stunned on the spot, embarrassed and couldn't close his mouth, since he was a child, he felt that he was also a smart person, but since he joined the reverse cross, he fully understood Confucius's words: Threesome, there must be my teacher.

In fact, Zuo Dao is in the situation of the reverse cross, there is no need to get together three people, and whoever you meet can teach you a lot of things, so you can say what you want to do, right? Do you want to set off a global financial storm, or build a spaceship, do you want to learn the art of killing, or do you want to hang a pot to help the world?

Even the blood lord, who was originally regarded as a perverted murderer by Zuo Dao, gradually revealed the feet of intellectuals after a long period of contact. Looking back now, when he was a middleman for the blood lords in Venice, wasn't this guy's main purchase of scientific research equipment?

The longer he stays in this organization, the more he feels that it is very unsafe to leave this organization, and he will definitely not survive against this group of people.

"Don't be stunned, do you think there's a lot of time?" said the blood owl without looking back, he didn't need his eyes to know through his emotional reaction that Zuo Dao was standing still.

............

At the same time, on the street outside the power plant, another uninvited guest arrived.

The man was also dressed in a dark blue high-end uniform, and his face, neck, and hands were stitched with obvious marks, and the stitches and stitches were everywhere, as if the person's skin had been sewn together with countless skins.

The tailor looked around, refocused his gaze on the direction of the power plant gate, and said in his heart: The feeling of fighting with the capable people just now disappeared so quickly, is there a big gap between the two sides......

"Huh?" he suddenly lowered his head and looked into the corner of the wall in front of him.

"Meow ......" A black cat ran out of there and glanced up at the tailor, a pair of green cat eyes glowing eerily in the darkness. It screamed again, then turned and plunged back into the darkness.

"Cut...... It turned out to be a cat. The tailor muttered to himself, "Let's go in and make sure." As he spoke, he took a step into the power plant. (To be continued.) )
