Electricity supply is a top priority for a site. Although the base is temporary at the moment, there are several backups of the power supply, and when one line is cut off, it will automatically switch to the other. Even if all the lines fail, the base itself has an emergency backup power supply, so it will never lose power supply completely.

But at this moment, this situation really appeared in front of Lu Ming.

At this moment, because it was too sudden, Lu Ming's brain even stiffened. It took him a moment before he realized. Then a thought flashed through my mind.

"The monsters' plans are about to be launched!"

It's so weird at the moment that no one would believe it if there is no human factor in it. In that case, it could only be that some being was deliberately doing it for a certain purpose. Combined with the previous monsters' intention to keep the first test subject in the hands of humans, the final answer is already on the horizon.

Regardless of what the ultimate goal of the monsters is or what they want to achieve, in short, they are now activated!

Lu Ming was tense, and reflexively rushed towards the core of the base, where the No. 1 test subject was held.

On this dark and moonless night, the base was filled with panicked shouts. Dressed in white coats, the experts of various disciplines who are responsible for the research task are running and roaring like headless flies, as if they have encountered some mortal danger. The guards guarding the base didn't panic at all.

They shouted loudly, asking all the experts to go back to their rooms, and dispatched personnel in an orderly manner, some were responsible for patrolling, some were responsible for troubleshooting, some were responsible for protecting those experts, and some were responsible for martial law of the entire base. The most part made the same choice as Lu Ming, and also rushed towards the core of the base.

Seeing that the quality of the guards was so high, although the incident was suddenly dealt with safely, and Lu Ming saw that in the base, there were still some retreat signs lit, and some key core facilities were still in operation - this meant that the base's own backup power supply was not actually cut off, but some external equipment was cut off because of low priority, and his heart gradually calmed down.

There was no public lighting, and I don't know how many bright flashlights came on, swaying in the dark night. By the light, Lu Ming saw the figure of a person in charge of the guard. He shouted in the past, and the person in charge immediately saluted Lu Ming, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Report to Sergeant Lu, the first squad has set off to investigate the problem, the second squad is responsible for protecting scientific research experts, and the third to seventh squad has gone to enrich the external defense force. Eight to twelve squads go to the base core, and thirteen to fifteen squads are on standby! ”

"Well done! Next, there may be monsters attacking the base from the outside of the base, and once you find a monster trail, I authorize you to kill them! In addition, I call for support immediately! ”

"Yes!"

"Give me the flashlight!"

The person in charge gave the flashlight to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming hurriedly rushed towards the core of the base.

On the way, he met He Wei and Zhang Dingshan. At this moment, the two of them also looked solemn and made the same decision as Lu Ming.

Rush to the core of the base first. In any case, make sure that Subject 1 has no accidents. As for the impact from the outside, even if this monster is capable individually, none of the three of them think that they can break through the base defenses.

The core area of the base is the area with the highest priority for power supply. At the moment, the place is still brightly lit. After rushing to the isolation ward with the guards of the brigade, through the layer of tempered glass, Lu Ming immediately saw that the No. 1 experimental subject, which was firmly fixed on the hospital bed by special fibers, was about to break free at this moment.

A total of eight ropes held it in place, six of which had been severed by it at the moment. Just cut the two more ropes that held its legs in place, and it could get out of the trap completely.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.

Doesn't it have the ability to cut this special fiber rope? In the past, under the fixation of this rope, it has never had the slightest power to resist! Why is it able to cut it open now?

There is only one explanation. That is, in the past, it deliberately hid its abilities, deliberately made people think that it could not be cut, and then hibernated until today, until the monsters' plans were launched, and it was only in one fell swoop that it was freed!

Zhang Dingshan shouted in a low voice: "All on alert!" Get out of the room! ”

The guards exited the room in an orderly manner, guns in hand. After that, heavy steel gates were sealed.

"As soon as Subject 1 breaks out of this room, kill it immediately!"

"Yes!"

This heavy metal room is the last bottom line in Zhang Dingshan's heart. He could tolerate Subject 1 breaking free, or even breaking the layer of tempered glass, but he could not tolerate Subject 1 leaving the room uncontrollably.

Once that happens, no matter how precious or valuable this subject is, no matter how valuable it is, it will not be able to care about it, and it must be killed first.

Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei hurried to the monitoring room and continued to check the movements of Experimental Subject No. 1 through monitoring.

In just this moment, Lu Ming saw that at this moment, it had completely escaped from the predicament and walked down from the hospital bed.

】

What will it do next? Break tempered glass? Or just try to break the steel wall and get out?

Lu Ming quickly calculated in his heart. But what happened a moment later made Lu Ming stunned again, and his head couldn't react.

After being freed, Subject 1 not only did not destroy the room it was in, but instead raised the bone knife that served as an arm and stabbed directly into its small triangular head.

It let out a howl of pain and evil, and it sent chills through the heart. The next moment, the bone knife was drawn, and there was a small pitch-black sphere on the end.

That's its eyeball.

"It's self-harming? It gouged out its own eyes? What is it going to do? ”

He Wei muttered subconsciously.

The next moment, Lu Ming saw Subject No. 1 gently put his eyeballs on the ground. Then, next to this eyeball, it bent its knees, its arms on the ground, its little head drooping, and it knelt on the ground, like a human five-body bowing posture.

It was as if it was kneeling down to the eyeball that had just been gouged out of its body.

An ominous premonition rose in Lu Ming's heart.

He didn't know what Subject 1 was doing, and he didn't know if the things it was doing at the moment were related to the power outage at the base, or to the plans and purposes of the monsters. But he knew in his heart that this must not be a good thing for his side.

Maybe you should stop it? But will your own obstruction make things worse? At least, it doesn't look like a threat at this moment.

Lu Ming's mind was racing, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his head.

Subject 1 suddenly let out a howl. The howl was like a prelude, followed by a series of rapid, rapid, high-pitched syllables.

Lu Ming had never known that this kind of monster could utter so many different syllables. In the past, not only Lu Ming, but even experts in various disciplines thought that this kind of monster could only emit a limited number of sounds. And at this moment, judging from the complexity of these syllables, it is even possible that they can grasp the pronunciation as much as humans.

There seemed to be some strange rhyme in that syllable, which sounded slightly similar to the incantations and scriptures that Lu Ming had heard on some religious occasions.

High-pitched and loud syllables echoed in the monitoring room, stirring people's minds. Lu Ming wanted to do something, but after weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to wait and see.

He believes that there really is some special mechanism in this world, which allows Subject No. 1 to pass through some kind of ritual-like ritual, and the probability of what consequences can really be caused in the real world cannot be said to be absolutely non-existent, but it must be very small.

Compared to this possibility, he still believes that the threat from the outside is more worthy of attention.

First of all, the external power supply of the company is cut off, which is necessarily a prelude to some change. And this prelude can never just lead to the strange ritual in front of me.

A power outage causes chaos, and then those monsters from the outside take advantage of the chaos to attack, which is the most likely thing to happen.

If there is no accident, at this moment, at the edge of the base, those guards who are fully on guard should have discovered the traces of those monsters, and even the two sides have exchanged fire.

Maybe these changes that are happening in the core area of the base at this moment, maybe the strange behavior of Subject 1 is just to divert your attention and distract your own forces, so as to create conditions for outside monsters to attack the base.

He reached out for the communicator and asked the person in charge, "How's the situation on the edge of the base?" ”

"Report to Sergeant Lu, everything is fine on the edge of the base! We're on high alert, but so far, nothing out of the ordinary has been found! ”

Lu Ming was stunned.

How can this be?

The monsters cut off the external power supply of the base with great fanfare, causing a certain amount of chaos, and here in the core area of the base, the No. 1 test subject pretended to be a ghost again, so that he had to disperse a considerable part of his troops to stay here, but nothing happened?

Thunder and rain?

No, it's impossible, there must be something that you have overlooked, it must be......

Lu Ming thought quickly.

If, if the blackout, and the strange behavior of Subject 1 were just appearances, a disguise for the monsters' true plans, then ......

The real purpose of the monsters must be their own base. You can't go wrong. But if they don't use a strong attack, how else can they extend from the outside to the inside of the base?

A few characters flashed in Lu Ming's mind in an instant.

Water, fire, light, air, sound, earthquakes, airplanes, missiles.

These eight existences are the means by which they can directly influence the inside of the base from the outside of the base.

The first is water. However, there is not enough water in the vicinity of the base, such as reservoirs. So the water can be excluded.

Fire can also be excluded. If you think of the light that can cause people to go crazy and eventually mutate just by looking at it, it is possible. However, the propagation of light is easily blocked, and many of you are indoors and cannot see the changes in light from the outside world. So light can also be excluded.

In terms of sound, how loud can the sound travel so far? Or do you want to rely on your voice to shock yourself to death? That's a bit ridiculous.

In the case of earthquakes, Lu Ming does not think that monsters have the ability to cause earthquakes.

As for aircraft, missiles, and various long-range offensive weapons, Lu Ming also does not think that they have this ability.

Ruled out one by one, and the last word appeared in Lu Ming's mind.

Gas.

Lu Mingtong's hole tightened.

Is it poison gas?

Lu Ming remembered that biologists said that theoretically speaking, the body of this monster has the ability to secrete a certain highly toxic nerve agent. The nerve agent can evaporate quickly and easily form toxic gases.

Of course, it's just a possibility.

Could it be that relying on the power outage to cause chaos, as well as the pretending to be a ghost of Subject No. 1, are just appearances, and the real plan of the monsters is to rely on the release of poisonous gas outside the base to kill and injure the personnel inside the base?

The flow of gas can spread to every corner of the base.

Lu Ming took out his mobile phone, quickly opened the weather forecast, and saw that the real-time weather at the moment showed that the wind direction at the moment was southeast, and the wind speed was one to two levels.

Sure enough, it's poison gas!

Lu Ming immediately made a judgment in his heart. Because if the wind speed is too high, it is easy to blow away the poisonous gas, so that it cannot form a sufficient concentration to affect the human body. If there is no wind at all, the poison gas will not be able to spread in a fixed direction.

The weather conditions are now suitable for the spread of poison gas. Lu Ming didn't believe it was a coincidence.

"Captain! I doubt the monsters will release poison gas on us! ”

Lu Ming quickly recounted his guesses and judgments, and Zhang Dingshan and He Wei immediately looked solemn.

Zhang Dingshan immediately took out the communicator, as if he wanted to give some order, but in a moment, he moved the communicator away.

He shook his head: "You can't order gas masks and isolation gowns. ”

Lu Ming was stunned, and then realized this problem.

At the moment, almost no one in the base is equipped with gas masks and isolation suits. These supplies were stored in a unified manner, and now people are scattered all over the base, sticking to their posts.

Once the order is required to wear isolation gowns and gas masks, if the time requirements are too tight, it is easy to cause confusion and lead to loopholes in the line of defense. Maybe by then, the monsters will really rush in.

However, the time requirement is not tight, and people are required to withdraw in batches to receive gas masks and isolation gowns, or assign special personnel to deliver them and wear them in batches, which takes too long and cannot be completed in less than an hour. For such a long time, the poison gas would have come a long time ago.

Lu Ming was shocked to find that he had unknowingly fallen into a dilemma.

At the critical moment, He Wei gritted her teeth and said: "Since this is the case, then find a way to make it impossible for the monsters to release the poisonous gas!" ”
