Chapter 11 The Power Plant

Atlantic City is an interesting place right now, where day and night are just as dead, but in essence, day and night are just as lively.

Appearance of calm does not represent real calm. In fact, everyone in the city is tense every second, ready to face the battle of life and death, perhaps facing a A mutated monster, maybe a hostile soldier, or even a friendly fire that's lost its mind.

People have limits, and most of us understand that it's hard to keep someone focused for forty-five minutes, let alone hours or days.

Fatigue can drive people crazy, and collapse is easier than expected. Anyone can try at home and record their changes with a camera. As long as they don’t sleep well for more than 30 hours, they don’t fall asleep. , At that time, the personality of the people will become completely different from usual, the brain has no energy to cover up and control their emotions, memory and thinking will become slow, and there will be confusion and obstacles in severe cases.

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

A solid sleep may mean that you can't afford to sleep for a long time. Teams with more people can rest in batches as planned, but the average sleep time for teams with several to dozens of people is very small. . Because of the power of mutant monsters, there must be at least two people standing guard. This is only a case of encountering one monster. If two monsters come at the same time, what about killing the two guards instantly before the alarm is issued?

The key point is to say that mutant monsters are too deadly to ordinary people. It is not easy to kill one. Even if a team of less than ten people is discovered in time, they will take the lead. It's also hard to guarantee undead after killing a monster.

And of course there is no fixed frequency of monster attacks. You may encounter less than one in ten hours, or ten in one hour. In either case, you can't rest normally.

After so many days of tossing, the mental state of the people in the city can be imagined. The city at night is especially dangerous. Walking swaggeringly on the street may be killed by bullets fired from nowhere, because those who shoot are no longer able to tell whether you are a friendly army or not at night.

Tonight, the betting snake was scouting around at a very fast speed, and it almost turned around most of the city. No one found him, not even the monsters could catch him.

On the way, Gambling Snake found many hidden civilian corpses, some people were really hidden, but without exception, those who tried to hide in one place and did not leave died, and all the corpses were devoured. It seems that the way those monsters find their prey is by no means relying solely on vision. According to the speculation of the snake betting, "smell" and "heat" are the two most likely methods they use.

The sketch of the city drawn by Fengxian still had an outline in Gambler's mind. He went to the shopping center specially to see how the commoners who gathered together were doing. As soon as he got there, he was just across the street. Smelled a strong **** smell.

It seems that it has become a den of mutant creatures. There are at least a dozen monsters lurking in the huge shopping mall. It seems that the civilians really failed to hold on to this position. The food and supplies in it have now become the bait for the monsters to hunt. There are still some blind guys trying to go in and explore, maybe their sense of smell has long been used to it. The smell of blood may be because they are too tired to think, or it may just be because they are too hungry. All in all, walking into a mall is definitely a very bad decision.

Seeing this situation, Gambling Snake felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was worried that the person he was looking for in this mission had died in the shopping mall. However, he turned to think that the Jeff and his son that he met during the day were also civilians, and it was very likely that they escaped from the shopping mall, or... they were kicked out because Jeff's father was infected. . This kind of thing is also quite normal. In order to protect themselves, a large group of people will often push others into the fire pit without hesitation and give them guns, even if it is so-called humanitarianism.

Maybe when I go back, I can get more information from Jeff's mouth, so Gambling Snake didn't jump to conclusions, just left the shopping center, continued what I should do, and tried to find other survivors of n.

"No. 037, this is No. 025. Please answer No. 037, over."

"This is number 037, done."

"No. 037, report your location and battle situation, it's over."

"We're..." There was a sudden high-pitched beep from the communication device.

"On 037, we were unable to lock your location, please answer."

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

Soon, No. 025 completely lost the other party's signal.

"It's the same again. After entering the power plant, the communication was disturbed by unknown means." A commander of the HL army in a colonel-level military uniform pondered this solemnly.

The signal soldier beside him said: "Sir... In order to restore power, this is the third missing team."

"I know..." the colonel said, "but we have to keep trying. Only by restoring the power supply will we have a chance to evacuate Atlantic City by hovercraft. Otherwise, even if the disaster of mutant creatures is resolved, this will be a siege. We Either captured or killed." He frowned and hesitated for a long time before he said, "Order the troops, prepare for battle, and at dawn, we will directly attack with large troops."

"But...sir, the reason why the team disappeared before..." The communication soldier's words did not imply that there were mutant creatures in the power plant, but something else. After all, it is impossible for monsters to use instruments to interfere with communication. signal.

"Needless to say, even if there is a regiment of troops in ambush, we can still get there. Every extra day of waiting means a day's supply of supplies is lost, and a few more people die. I've had enough! I don't want to die here. place." the colonel shouted.

"Yes, your subordinates obey." The signal soldier was ordered to leave.

When the colonel saw the other party walk out of the temporary command post (an office in a casino), he was exhausted. He spread his thugs to support his forehead. The pressure is huge, how can it not happen.

He took the last cigarette out of his jacket pocket and lit it for himself: "South Africa, Long County, Western Europe... Now North America, huh..." He exhaled, and at the same time seemed to be Sigh: "Although the world is big, as soldiers of the empire, perhaps we are going to have nowhere to escape..."

…………

Xue Xiao and Zuo Dao came to the power plant together, and they never encountered a monster along the way.

According to Zuo Dao's understanding, this is the blood owl's domineering exposure, scaring those creatures away.

The two entered directly through the gate, and just two steps into the power plant, the blood owl suddenly said: "Someone is here."

Zuo Dao let out a low voice, took a big step back, opened his arms, and put on a street-like martial arts movement: "Where?!"

In the darkness in the distance in front of them, there were footsteps, and a man's voice sounded: "You are also a capable person." While speaking, the man walked to the place within sight of Zuodao .

As soon as he saw him, Zuo Dao knew his identity, that strange uniform was reserved for high-ranking members.

"Since you can perceive my existence, it means that you are a little capable, but... I advise you to go back." The man's face was the same as most senior members of n, stiff and stiff, as if Zhang Huo Zombie face.

The blood owl looked at the man for two seconds, then regarded him as air, walked past him, and threw a sentence to Zuo Dao: "You will deal with this man."

"Huh? Hello! What's the situation?" Zuo Dao said in surprise.

"He's too weak, I'm not interested." Xue Xiao added.

"You're courting death!" the man shouted, he turned to catch up with Xue Xiao, and put one hand on his shoulder, but after a few seconds, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The blood owl turned his head and said coldly: "You shouldn't turn your back on that guy."

The man fell to his knees involuntarily almost as soon as he heard the words, and Zuo Dao's sword qi attacked unceremoniously from behind and penetrated his knees.

"It looks really weak..." Zuo Dao saw that the opponent was so easy to be tricked, and he became more courageous. He thought: Anyway, this guy can't even stand up, so I should stop him in the past. question.

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

With Zuo Dao's current cultivation level, he is very sensitive to energy, and he is equally capable of things that are invisible to the naked eye. Facing this sudden attack, Zuo Dao stabilized the horse in Siping, and leaned his upper body back. With an extremely ugly movement, he dodged the attack, and the invisible force only slightly rubbed the tip of Zuo Dao's chin.

"Huh! What the **** is this!" Zuo Dao touched his chin, and the rubbed part was a little numb.

"Electromagnetic wave." The blood owl said, "But it's too weak." He continued to walk forward, not afraid of the opponent attacking from behind. In fact, the man had already tried it when he pressed his shoulder.

The energy defense of the blood owl covering the whole body in an unconscious state, that person can't break through, it is indeed weaker.

"Compared to the electric shock of thunder and fire, he is far worse." Xue Xiao commented disdainfully: "It relies on the bioelectricity generated by the body after genetic modification, huh... This kind of power is similar to curing Internet addiction. ."

Zuo Dao asked: "Hey! Then how can I subdue him?! It's still useful for this person to stay alive."

"Break his shoulders." The tone of the blood owl was like "putting on slippers" or "turning left at the intersection ahead". It was an understatement, and he didn't take damage to other people's bodies seriously at all. . As he spoke, he walked easily to a wall and watched the map of the power plant.

nHow could that old man just sit still, he quickly rolled over, he repeated his tricks, and wanted to attack Zuo Dao. This time Zuo Dao is prepared, but the situation is very different. In terms of the degree of this guy's wretchedness, he can use a line commonly used by Saint Seiya to describe his actual combat ability - the same move is used twice for him. It's useless!

Condensed the sword energy of the gods on the fingertips, and with two slams, the incoming electromagnetic shock was smashed into smoke. Zuo Dao himself took advantage of the situation, 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 so hard that his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he couldn't lift them up in one breath. If it weren't for the genetic modification of the body, most people's hearts would have been killed by Zuo Dao all of a sudden.

At this moment, Zuo Dao is more at ease, so that the other party will not be able to resist fiercely for at least a minute. He put away his ability and stepped forward to twist the man's shoulders with his bare hands.

In the end, they are genetically modified people. They were so treated by Zuo Dao without screaming. Their pain nerves have long been paralyzed, so that they can stay calm and concentrate at all times without being affected by pain during battle.

The blood owl looked at the map on the wall for a while in the distance, then smashed the glass with a punch, took the map out, walked back, and threw it to the left: "Let's go."

"What should I do with this person?" Zuo Dao asked indifferently.

"You want to carry him behind your back?" Xue Xiao asked back.

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

"Then what else are you asking? Of course, you left him here." Xue Xiao gestured to the left with his eyes, and looked at the man's legs and shoulders: "He can't run very far by crawling with his chin. .”

Zuo Dao rolled his eyes and walked towards the man again: "I'll break his waist too, so that he doesn't run away with a roll."

"Don't! Don't! I'm not running! I'll stay here!" The man was startled and begged for mercy.

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

"Break the waist, it will be difficult to move after that." Xue Xiao reminded.

Zuo Dao turned his head and looked at the man "reluctantly" again: "Okay, I'll let you go for a while, if you drive away..."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" The old man, who was still quite arrogant when they met, turned into a coward after learning the methods and perverted characters of the two.

Xue Xiao and Zuo Dao threw the man in the first factory building after entering the main entrance of the power plant, and then walked inside.

"By the way, he won't be eaten by monsters, right?" Zuo Dao walked for a while and suddenly remembered this incident.

"This is a thermal power plant," said the blood owl.

"What do you mean?"

"Temperature." The blood owl explained with jumping thinking: "The mutant monsters in the city are all cold-blooded animals, and their body surfaces also maintain a low temperature. Although this power plant has stopped working, the residual temperature here is also obvious. The rest of the city is higher. So you see no monsters in the surrounding area."

"So it is." Zuo Dao thought: "Yes, it's no wonder that Fengxian's ability is very effective against those mutant monsters." He turned his head: "Then the guy we met knew about this. That's why you're hiding in the power plant, right?"

Xue Xiao didn't answer. He was thinking about his plan. Suddenly, he stopped and said: "There is the main factory building, and the building next to it is the office. I will check a few engine units and evaluate it. If the situation arises, you can go to the office building to find useful information, such as drawings for how to deal with this situation, or paper documents such as backup plans.”

While listening to Xue Xiao's words, Zuo Dao took out from his pocket the blueprint that Xue Xiao had just given him: "Hey... did you memorize the map?"

"Nonsense, I tore it down for you to see." Xue Xiao replied, "In addition, things like maps should not be folded, they should be rolled up." After speaking, he walked away on his own.

Zuo Dao was stunned on the spot, so embarrassed that he couldn't close his mouth. Since he was a child, he felt that he was also a smart person, but since joining the reverse cross, he fully understood the words of Confucius: If there are three people, there must be My teacher.

Actually, when Zuo Dao is in the reverse cross, he no longer needs to gather three people. Anyone he meets can teach himself a lot of things. Just say what you want to do, right? Do you want to set off a global financial turmoil, or build spaceships, do you want to learn killing techniques, or hang a pot to save the world?

Even the blood owl, who was originally regarded by Zuo Dao as a perverted murderer, has gradually revealed the clues of intellectuals after a long period of contact. Looking back now, when I helped the blood owl as a middleman in Venice, wasn't this guy mainly buying scientific research equipment?

Zuo Dao's Xiaoqing becomes worthless in front of the university questions of the group of people around him. The longer he stays in this organization, the more insecure he feels to leave this organization. Against this group of people, he will definitely No way out.

"Don't be stunned, do you think you have plenty of time?" Xue Xiao said without turning his head. He could know that Zuo Dao silly was standing and didn't move without using his eyes.

…………

At the same time ~IndoMTL.com~, another uninvited guest arrives on the street outside the power plant gate.

This person is also wearing n's dark blue high-level uniform. His face, neck, and hands have obvious stitch marks. Seam marks and stitches can be seen everywhere. It seems that this person's skin is stitched with countless pieces of skin. generally.

The tailor looked around for a while, and then put his eyes on the direction of the gate of the power plant again, thinking to himself: The feeling of being able to fight just now has disappeared so quickly. Is there a big gap between the two sides...

"Huh?" He suddenly lowered his head and looked at the corner of the wall ahead.

"Meow..." A black cat ran out from there, looked up at the tailor, and a pair of green cat eyes glowed 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, "It's better to go in and confirm." He said, and walked into the power plant.
