Chapter 68: The Ignition Point
Tower of Babel, 77th floor.
As soon as Hyde and Johnson exited the elevator and returned to the emergency headquarters on the 77th floor of the Tower of Babel, they sensed that something was subtly wrong in the atmosphere.
The anxious ministers had several wired telephone receivers hanging on their bodies, wishing that they could give different orders at the same time, and the noisy room was filled with the smell of tense gunpowder, inconsistencies, and inconsistencies, and orders that were full of errors came from the mouths of these ministers from time to time, and when Hyde and Johnson appeared at the door of the room, everyone's movements stopped, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
It's as if time has stopped.
The silence lasted for more than ten seconds, and then a huge wave of cheers and battle reports drowned out the two of them.
Dr. Hyde, you're finally back!
There is salvation! Now there is salvation!
Doctor! The southern part of the city has completely fallen, a large number of enemies have entered the Third Ring Road, and several troops are advancing towards the Tower of Babel!
At least three streets and three administrative divisions are currently under the control of the rebels!
Doctor, there are more enemies coming outside the city, they have destroyed the power supply facilities and signal relay stations outside the city, occupied the industrial area, and are also trying to release large-scale electromagnetic pollution to seize electromagnetic power!
Knife Tower! The follow-up troops of the madmen drove the tanks into the city!
The thug is burning in the city, and many residents have already been killed, and we must immediately find a way to organize this situation
The voices of everyone talking to themselves at the same time overlapped, and not only did the babbling not make Hyde quickly understand the situation and figure out what had happened in the few hours since he was gone, but the overlapping noise only made him even more confused.
However, the people in the emergency command had all seen the storm, and the return of Dr. Hyde had allowed them to find their backbone, and soon this confusion of gossip quickly subsided, and the ministers of each department recounted to Hyde and Johnson what had happened in the past few hours as concisely and quickly as possible.
The ominous foreboding had confirmed that the rebels had chosen this time to do it, and Hyde pinched the corners of his forehead with a little headache, although he was a little confused by the gossip of everyone at first, but at that time he could already deduce the general outline of the incident from their words, and the concise narration of the next ministers allowed him to grasp a lot of details, understand how bad the situation was, and make his already headache head hurt a little more, I just left for a few hours, Why are you being beaten like this by the rebels?
The ministers of various departments said in unison: Do you think we want to! Then they began to argue again: Sibylla's outage has completely left the defense force completely empty, and we will fight the rebels with their heads? God knows why those crazy people suddenly put their lives on the line!
Hyde was shocked by their voices, and his head hurt, and he couldn't help but bared his teeth in surrender: Okay, okay, let's take it step by step, first of all, is the drone command link over?
The ministers looked at each other, and the last well-dressed dark-haired woman in her forties shook her head: no, the technicians said that they entered the key and tried to switch the chain of command of the drones to manual control mode, but it is likely that due to the impact of Sibyra's downtime, none of the drones have responded so far, and they are trying to use other means to shift the chain of command.
There is no way to count on the drone defense system in a short period of time Ah Hyde chuckled in his heart, and the sense of foreboding was a little more aggravated, but he quickly sorted out his mood and asked other questions: How many people are currently invading the city by the enemy? And where are the enemy-occupied areas? How many residents are expected to be trapped?
Judging from the feedback signals, at least a number of illegal signals that cannot identify the chip in the city at present, the south of the city has been completely blocked by those madmen, they have gained a firm foothold in the south of the city, the city monitoring probe captured several vanguard teams are heading in the direction of the Tower of Babel, and through the pictures captured by the surveillance satellite, there are more hostile units in the suburbs of the south of the city to react, some of them are running around to destroy our infrastructure and signal base stations outside the city, but there are more troops outside the city ready to enter the city at any time.
This time I answered
He is a chubby Minister of Security, although he is not good-looking, but his talent and aptitude are recognized by the Sibylla test, and he is perfectly suitable for this position: when I discovered the invasion of the rebels, I sent personnel and autonomous robots under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Security not under the jurisdiction of Sibira to carry out emergency evacuation of the residents of the southern part of the city, and used non-operational automatic vehicles to set up roadblocks along the road to slow down the progress of the rebels, but
What happened to Seongnam now?
Seeing Hyde's increasingly ugly look, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe the coolant oozing from his forehead, and hesitated for a few seconds before he sighed deeply: This is the scene captured by the surveillance probe before it was destroyed, you better see for yourself
As he spoke, the Minister of Security reached out and pressed a few clicks on a portable touchscreen device, bringing up an image that was projected onto the large screen in the conference room.
Although all the facilities and equipment in the Tower of Babel are managed by Sibilar, they usually only need voice to control the activation of these devices, but in order to deal with emergencies like now, any facility in the Tower of Babel has a manually controlled backup system, and there is no need for a complicated process like drones that require permission transfer, so all facilities and equipment in the tower can still be used normally.
After a short black screen, soon the monitoring screen appeared on the projection screen.
Gone, the streets of the past were clean and orderly, with fires burning in the storefronts, dark smoke billowing from the towering buildings, and sidewalk lamps hanging from the city's southern district residents struggling painfully with tough steel wires around their necks, and their bodies transformed to give them healthier, less susceptible to death, but now they became the source of nightmares that prolonged their torment.
The strange, almost inhumane intruders broke into one shop after another, smashed and took away the exquisite goods inside, and then left behind an incendiary bomb or grenade to reduce the shop to rubble, they let out an inexplicable scream, pulled the trigger of a submachine gun, turned the automatic vehicles on the road into a ball of exploding fire, they set fire to high-rise buildings, watched people fall from the high-rise buildings one after another to escape, they dragged the residents out into the streets, and used the human imagination to inflict violence on them, humiliated each other, and finally hung these people on street lamps as illuminations.
All the intruders on the screen are venting their long-suppressed tyranny, as if they want to take revenge on these weak people who can't resist a thousand times the horror that the drone inflicted on them, they wreak havoc on the city's facilities, burn order with weapons, and then stand and laugh in a hollow, emotionless electronic sound.
It's almost like their.
Finally, Hyde saw a seven or eight-year-old child being dragged for tens of meters, and he struggled to escape the clutches to find his mother, and finally broke his hands and feet and hung up in front of the surveillance probe.
The fair, pink face was covered with dust and abrasions, red blood slowly oozed out, and the child's eyes gradually changed from frightened to dull, and finally lost their lustre.
That's the end of the picture.
Hyde didn't speak, but everyone knew that he was very angry now, whether it was the fist clenched tightly dripping with blood, or the body trembling slightly from anger and the bruises on his forehead, or the oppressive silence without saying a word, it was all showing everyone that he was on the verge of exploding.
There is a storm brewing in Hyde's heart, and it only takes an opportunity for this brewing storm to erupt and destroy everything.
Even if these scum are killed a thousand times, ten thousand times is not a pity Johnson dragged his hoarse voice to speak, his voice was full of bitterness, I still wish I didn't have a brain-computer chip implanted for the first time, so that I can torture these scum in the most cruel way I can imagine
Hyde didn't answer, the more tempting proposals in his ears were tempting him to the abyss of madness, and he closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, before he let out a sigh and slowly opened his eyes: this is the only way
Fire, smoke, rubble, wreckage, streets turned into flames, buildings turned into rubble and ruins, and the smell of gunsmoke and charred flesh filled the nostrils.
As a follow-up, the one-eyed strong man who was approved by Sanming to enter the field with the team for support never thought about it
If you see it yourself, you will see such a landscape.
Shocking bloodstains and severed arms can be seen everywhere on the ground of those who have been tortured and implanted with chips hanging from street lamps, shops and streets that have been looted and destroyed.
Along the way, all the one-eyed man saw was the violence and abuse that the strong wantonly unleashed on the weak.
Originally, this was supposed to be a battle to liberate the oppression of the tyrant and save the regimental commander, why did it end up like this?
The one-eyed man felt a voice in his heart shouting frantically, and that voice was filled with burning rage, as if an angry beast could break through the cage at any moment.
Not only him, but the other members of the team also suppressed the angry beast in their hearts, and everyone's hearts seemed to be tensed with a string, and behind this string was a beast that could break out of the cage at any time.
This strange state lasted until some sparse figures appeared on the street.
They were friendly forces and were chasing a group of residents with submachine guns.
Ryder's one-eyed man spoke in a hoarse voice, and we went to the front to see what was going on.
