Chapter 406: Destroyed Signal Towers and Substations

"Stop!"

Rosie heard Jack's voice coming from the headphones, and subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the raptor, which was not fast, stopped steadily, and the next moment,

“PIU! PIU! ”

The Barrett MK22's silencer is great, and even in the quiet of the night, the gunfire is still faint.

There were no night vision devices in the car, and the two assault rifles were also equipped with red dot scopes, and in this dark night, only the night vision devices on the Jack gun could see the situation in the distance.

"Keep going straight ahead, 200 meters on the right side of the road." Jack whispered.

The Raptor continues to move forward slowly, and under the light of the flashlight, a pulled down signal tower falls on the side of the road, and it seems that the reason for the town's lack of cell phone signal has been found.

A dilapidated yellow trailer was parked not far from the Fallen Signal Tower, and the bodies of two ogres were lying on the side of the vehicle, one left and one right, the area above the neck had disappeared.

.

The 338 Lapmagnum may not be as powerful as a 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet, but it is clearly enough to deal with this mutant ogre.

"Looks like the monsters here are a lot smarter than their cousins in New Mexico."

Jack's tone was relaxed, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, although he had not seen any signs of these ogres using firearms, but since they knew about destroying the signal tower, they must not use them as burning sticks after obtaining firearms.

Fixing the signal tower in a short period of time seems to be a no-brainer, even with the all-powerful Dr. Red, but with the little repair tools in his car, it is an impossible task.

Jack's gaze followed the high-voltage line erected along the highway into the distance, and finally landed on a building fenced with barbed wire next to the town.

"Let's go to the substation and have a look."

The power outage in the town must have something to do with the substation, and if it can be restored, or if a wired phone can be found inside, even if the seals can't be summoned, it is better to have police support from the surrounding area than for them to fight alone.

Everyone was on the same page, and although they were confident in Jack's combat power, it was not a smart choice to rush into the center of the town so rashly.

On the map in Red's hand, the town of Meihu is just a point and a place name, and it is still unknown what the layout of the town is like, and whether there are any ogres among the townspeople.

The bird of prey stopped at the door of the barbed wire fence of the substation, and a cut chain fell to the ground, and sure enough, an uninvited guest came here.

Jack left Barrett with night vision to Hodchner, and asked him to stay on guard with Rosie and Emily, and he took Jay and Red inside to check on the situation.

The substation occupies a small area, a two-story concrete building painted with the logo of an unknown power company, and Jack leads the way through the violently damaged gate to enter it, and the stench left by the ogres in the corridor does not seem to have dissipated.

It's a little reassuring to know that there seems to be a separate emergency power supply, and the yellow warning lights on the walls are flashing incessantly, and the whining alarm sounds are coming from nowhere.

Across the corridor is a guardhouse, which is empty, the surveillance screen is still on, and there is a telephone on the table, a walkie-talkie, and a pair of solitaire cards that receive half of the playing cards.

Although I didn't see any bloodstains, I didn't have to think about it to know that the guards who were originally on duty here were afraid that they would be more than lucky.

Red sat down in front of the computer and began to look through the surveillance footage, Jack tried the phone first, unsurprisingly without a beep, picked up the intercom on the table, turned the channel knob, and tried to listen to the nearby communication.

Jiejie was not idle, opening the drawers of the guard's desk one by one, trying to find useful things among the messy clutter inside.

"Here's a map!" She let out a low cry of surprise that contained a crumpled grease of a local tourist map in her hand, which had been used to pack some kind of food.

"Zila. Zila Junior, I'm Angela, please Q&A! Mike, Kevin, did anyone hear that? A panicked female voice suddenly came over the intercom.

"Oh! For God's sake! Whoever responds to me! The female voice on the intercom was crying, feeling that her emotions were on the verge of collapse.

"Who are you?" Jack pressed the call button.

"My God, at last. I'm Sheriff Carter of the Meihu Township Police Department, and I need you to call the CSP (Colorado State Patrol) in Root, and ask them to immediately dispatch all police forces to Meihu Town. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't do it for the time being, we're also trapped in this hellish place, and I also found that the signal tower in your town has been vandalized, and no one can get the message out for the time being."

Jack paused, as if he felt it would be too desperate to say that, "Tell me where you are, Madam Sheriff, we have some weapons to support you, can you tell us about your situation there?" ”

"A group of mountain people are besieging Meihu Town, they are wantonly killing people in the town, most of them went to the lake today, I am the only one in the police station, uh, and a few young people who have taken refuge, no matter who you are, please come and help us as soon as possible!"

"So, you're at the police station now, aren't you?" Sensing the incoherence of the other party, Jack simply did not reveal his identity, but only picked the key questions.

"Yes yes, there's a power outage here, there's nothing to see outside, we only have a few candles to light it on, who are you? How many people are there? How long will it take to arrive? ”

I don't know if it was Jack's calm voice that calmed the sheriff's mood a little, and she finally remembered to ask about his identity.

"It doesn't matter who we are, we'll know when we meet, please stay calm, Sheriff Carter!"

Jack won't reveal his identity and location until he's unsure of the other person's identity, and who knows if it's a trap.

"I only have a tourist map of Meihu Town in my hand, please tell me, where is the commanding height near the police station, and what is the approximate number of those mountain people?"

"I don't know how many, two young people were attacked on the way to the police station, and my husband, I watched them being dragged away, I shot, but I couldn't hit them!

They seem to be eating people! They're screaming all over the place, please come and help me. ”

Feeling that the emotions on the other side were about to collapse again, Jack hurriedly raised a finger to Jiejie, who wanted to speak comfortingly, and signaled her not to speak.

According to the original plot, none of the people in the police station survived, and they behaved more stupidly than the other, holding hot weapons and being played to death by several ogres.

If you want to save people, you have to pay attention to methods, and it is not the SEALs who are armed to the teeth who are with him now.

Although the members of the BAU team have undergone a certain amount of weapons training, even Red is no longer the powerless person he once was.

But in horror movies, as long as you are not the protagonist, anyone may receive a boxed lunch, and in some films, the protagonist may be the one who dies the worst in the end.

Before you are sure of the true situation of the other party, the less information on your side is known by the other party, the better.

"Tell me, where is the vantage point near the police station? If you can't keep calm yet, you're only going to get our rescue plan in trouble, Sheriff Carter! ”

Jack repeated the previous question.

"It's the clock tower, southeast of the police station, a street away, and you can overlook the whole town, please hurry, my husband, my husband him."

"Hold your gun, we'll be there soon, stay with your people, don't go out, and definitely don't separate."

Jack turned off the walkie-talkie, and Red had finished watching the surveillance video in the substation, and was writing and drawing on the tourist map that Jiejie found.

"This is the police station, almost in the center of the town, at the junction of the intersection, here is the clock tower in the lower right corner, the height cannot be seen on the map, if you can overlook the whole town according to the sheriff, the height should be more than 20 meters."

Rhett swallowed as he spoke, "Those monsters broke into the substation almost half an hour ago to destroy it, I want to go inside and take a look, the equipment here is not so easy to completely destroy, there should be a possibility of repair." ”

Coming for a monthly pass?
