Chapter 191: Emergencies
"According to the report, the Moniach has completed its replenishment in Hawaii and is expected to arrive in Shanghai, China on New Year's Day on January 1, and will arrive at the mission site on January 7 to carry out the 'Kuimen Plan'." In the central control room of the Kassel Academy, the duty commissioner who operates several terminals at the same time reports to the station.
In front of the huge earth projection that is five meters high, Schneider, the professor on duty on this wheel wearing a heavy ventilator and also the head of the executive department, nodded: "Understand, pay attention to keep the commissioners on the ship vigilant at all times, and the things on it can't be seen." ”
The so-called invisible, of course, is installed on this warship's converted tugboat, and the head of the equipment department, Director Akadu, patted his chest to ensure that there would be no accidents.
For this search mission, the academy specially asked the equipment department to make several prototype alchemy missiles and deploy them on the Moniach.
Although it was a bit hasty to involve such prototype equipment in the official mission, there are only a handful of mass-produced alchemy weapons in the academy that can cause damage to more than three generations of dragons. There are several task groups, and each task group does not get much.
Although the equipment department has a worse reputation in the academy than the executive department, it is still quite reliable in terms of the destructive power of weapons. Therefore, some relatively stable prototype weapons were assigned to the under-armed groups. The premise is that these alchemy weapons will not suddenly explode during transportation.
"It was reported that the commissioners on a search mission in Mexico encountered local criminal militants who suspected that we were plainclothes police, and the two sides are now in an exchange of fire, and the mission holders have requested the use of live ammunition to fight back." Among the nearly 100 or so officers on duty, someone said.
Schneider's expression under half of the mask remained unchanged: "Reject his application, but let them use the new Frigga Alchemy Smoke Bomb." Be careful to let them take care of the follow-up matters, and don't let the school board get another excuse. ”
"Uh...... But the Frigga smoke bomb can have side effects for three months in a row, unlike the average person who is different from us. During this period, symptoms of mental retardation and slurred speech may occur. The officer on duty hesitated and said.
"It's already merciful for them." Schneider replied.
He's right, it's already very benevolent. If it weren't for the last time when the school board used the action of the executive department as an excuse to forcibly intervene in the tasks of the executive department, they would have done something much simpler and more straightforward, such as rocket washing.
"It is reported that the commissioners on the high seas near Greenland have found artifacts suspected to be alchemical items on the auction ship of an antiquities smuggling organization, and they are now negotiating with the other party to buy the item, but the other party has bid two million dollars."
Greenland, what an unpleasant place to ....... Thinking like this, Schneider said, "Allow the payment, let them take that thing at all costs." ”
"The latest news, the other party suddenly changed his hexagram, and the starting price from the ground reached five million dollars!"
“…… They are allowed to use force to snatch, taking care not to reveal their identities. ”
"But...... Over there at the school board. ”
"What do pirates on the high seas have to do with us?"
"Understood!"
On the projection of the earth in front of Schneider, large and small red spots lit up, indicating that the location of the red dot had a case related to dragons or hybrids. The cases reported by the officers on duty just now will continue to appear in the next ten hours.
"It's really hard, you can top three people alone." Another professor, who was also on duty in the control room, walked over with a bright bald head, "But it's the three of us on duty, has this combination happened too many times?" ”
He glanced at the third professor on duty in the control room, who was the same age as him next year, but looked older than his father. He is now on the couch in the control room, using his mobile phone to select Christmas gifts for his wonderful students, and using the shopping app of Huaxia Guoxin, directly to deliver them to the homes of his beloved students.
Schneider responded slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that Mance went to Huaxia, he should have been standing here." ”
The professors on duty in the central control room asked for teams of three, but because of this search mission, many professors personally led the team to carry out the mission. In addition, because of the spring break, many professors who have families but are not good at explaining Kassel to them will also use this short vacation time to go back to spend time with their families.
People like the three of them who are not married at their age can only work harder when there are not many people in the academy, so there are no vacancies during the holidays.
Seeing that Guderian didn't notice this, Manstein hesitated, and after getting closer, he quietly asked, "What do you think about 'that thing'?" ”
"That incident" refers to the news that "the president of the Lionheart Society defeated the next generation" that circulated at the top of the student club Lionheart. However, as official professors, they know much more than the students, such as the full version of the news that the college plans to release next semester: that sub-species is actually the White King clan that has no observation records at all in history.
"This is not the place to discuss this." Schneider replied, still unrecognizable in a tone that still showed no emotion, but a clear displeasure with the discussion of the topic here.
Although the incomplete version of "that incident" has spread to the student body, the level of secrecy is still very high, and only tenured professors can know more about it. An assistant professor like Guderian is not qualified to know, even if the central figure of the message is his student.
"I was sloppy, I was just too excited to find someone to discuss with me." Manstein said, his words clearly concealing his excitement, "You know, we who don't know much about dragons yet, and getting information about this is like opening a new door. ”
This news is as important to the professors of the "Genealogy of the Dragons" department as important as Columbus's discovery of the New World. Since Manstein heard the news, he could not settle down and rest, so he could only run to the library in the middle of the night, and think about the pitiful description of Bai Wang Shao engraved from the "Ice Sea Bronze Pillar" until dawn.
Guderian, with whom he had been able to discuss the topic before, was unable to share the news with him because of the secrecy regulations, so he could not continue to explore the subject.
Schneider seemed to be infected by his unbearable excitement, he thought for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "For me in the 'Magic Mechanics' department, this is also a shocking discovery. But we also have to be careful, because with the first case there may be a second case. Could there be more people in 'Him' who escaped that plague and hid somewhere in the world...... We don't know any of this. ”
Manstein was silent for a long time, and after a long time he whispered, "Yes, no matter how shocking the discovery, whether or not there are any other races in 'Him', it is the enemy we will face. ”
There is another point he didn't say, that is, "He", who has the same title as the "Black Emperor", will he also be in a corner somewhere, waiting for the day of awakening?
There was a rare silence in the control room, except for the sound of the duty commissioners tapping on the keyboard and printing documents.
But just then, a shrill siren sounded. At the same moment, a dazzling red spot appeared on the huge projection of the earth.
"Report the situation!" Instead of continuing to talk to Manstein, Schneider quickly walked to the projection facing him with a heavy breathing device.
Immediately, a staff member on duty said: "I just received a report from the Huaxia Branch that all the commissioners who were stationed in Huaxia Binhai before have lost contact!" ”
"Lost! How can it be! Manstein, who came up with him, narrowed his pupils, "And the name of the place, Binhai, I remember it's not the hometown of the S-class?" He seems to be there right now! ”
"Not only that, but it is also the hometown of A-level Chu Zihang, and he is also there." Schneider said solemnly with his eyes exposed outside the mask.
With Kassel's capabilities, it couldn't be easier to build an intelligence network around the world. In such a situation, with Norma's support, it is extremely rare for a commissioner to completely lose contact, and Istanbul has been rare in many years.
And now it has never happened that all the commissioners have lost contact with each other. In addition to ......, the underwater mission to Greenland led by Schneider.
In the control room, which was already busy at the moment, a duty commissioner corrected: "No, this is not an ordinary loss of contact...... It's the whole city that has lost contact together! ”
The control room, which had been noisy just now, suddenly fell silent because of the picture projected onto the big screen in the control room.
Schneider and Manstein, who were waiting for further reports, and Guderian, who was frightened by the sound of the sirens and ran over, not knowing what was happening, also looked up at the projected picture, their faces full of surprise.
On the screen, it is a city that is caught in a storm. There is nothing surprising about that alone. But if the rain was so dense that it looked like a faucet and the lightning raged like a gatepost in a cage completely covered the city, it would be a different matter.
……
The silver Bugatti Veyron sped through traffic and torrential rain, ignoring traffic rules and overtaking vehicles as they rushed home to take shelter from the rain. The overtaken driver just wanted to open his mouth to scold, but he couldn't even see the other party's taillights.
Lu Mingfei pressed Chu Zihang's number again, but what he got was still a prompt that he couldn't get through. He put down his phone, looked at the front window in front of him that was extremely blurred by the rain with rune-enhanced eyes, and asked as he controlled the steering wheel, "Eva, has the cause of the signal interruption been identified?" ”
On the car screen, the girl in the white dress replied loudly: "I found out, the thunderstorm just now caused lightning strikes in many signal towers in the coastal area." Although the local communications department is rushing to repair it, it is difficult to repair the signal tower in such a heavy rain. ”
She continued with a solemn expression: "And under the influence of heavy rain and thunderstorms, not only communications, networks and electricity were damaged, but all transportation facilities outside the coastal area were also shut down. It can be said that the current coastal area has been completely isolated from the world. ”
After sending his uncle, who was actually not poisoned, to the hospital, and letting his aunt and cousin stay there to accompany him, Lu Mingfei immediately returned to Chu Zihang's warehouse, picked up Chu Tianjiao's equipment that was left there, and drove to school.
Just in case, just in case the man who had done it to his uncle came back with a rifle, he also left the chief in the hospital.
The black man, who was as taciturn as his dark muscles, was as good at defensive warfare as the heroic spirit who chose him, and it was naturally no problem to protect a few ordinary people.
Similarly, the heroic spirits who remained by his side also rushed to the academy in advance, hoping to control the scene in advance.
"Satellite communication also doesn't work?" Lu Mingfei asked as he walked past the cars parked on the side of the road, trying to wait for the rain to light down before moving forward.
Thanks to the torrential rain, the Bugatti Veyron was able to navigate the congested road that usually appears at night.
"Yes, also because of the weather." Eva replied, "So we're completely cut off from communication with the other commissioners, but they should have walkie-talkies with them that can be used in this weather." And they just received a report from us, except for the commissioner who is still on duty at the highway intersection, everyone else is rushing to Shilan Middle School. ”
Lu Mingfei nodded, looking not too anxious about such a seemingly extremely bad state: "Well, I understand, you tell the academy about the situation in the city first, and now you can only contact that side." Although it has been notified once before, now it is a different matter. ”
"Understood."
In the case of all communication and network disconnection, Lu Mingfei himself is the only person who has contact with the outside world. Eva's body is still in the Kassel Academy, but the link to his magic is still there. Although it has a little impact because of the transcontinental reasons, it will not prevent Eva from using her abilities at all.
“…… You've been put on the table, brother. "On the co-pilot where the silver weapon box was, Lu Mingze appeared there.
His small body sat on the box with his legs crossed, his eyes full of schadenfreude in his bright golden eyes, and he sneered at the people who were struggling to survive in the extreme weather outside the car window.
"Say whatever you want, you don't have to be weird there." Facing Lu Mingze again, Lu Mingfei, who thought he would have complicated feelings, had no emotions.
Lu Mingze turned his head and stared straight at Lu Mingfei with golden eyes: "It's really indifferent, brother, it's clear that all this outside is because of you." ”
Lu Mingfei's expression changed a little: "...... You mean, the last time I broke into there and guarded the presence inside? ”
He wasn't very surprised, though. Just as the other party does not understand his methods, he himself knows very little about the other party.
"yes." Lu Mingze nodded, "Just think about it, if someone breaks into your magic workshop, won't you be prepared for it?" These days, you hang around in front of other people's houses every day, and you are afraid that people will not know. If it were you, would you watch them do little things and do nothing? ”
Lu Mingze shook his head: "Even if you don't know where you got the key to enter, brother, the owner of the house is still watching inside, do you think he will let you in easily?" ”
