Chapter 41: keep watch

Views:

The eighteenth floor of the sixth district:

The sea water rushed into the thirteenth floor in an instant, and the glass on the seventh, thirteenth, and fourteenth floors of the United Front Work Department shattered. As it continued to fall, the pressure gradually increased, and the partitions were twisted and deformed. .

A large amount of seawater rushed into the safe passage, and the people in the stairwell were flooded before they could escape, their bones burst, and their cranial cavity was crushed.

Zhang Min rushed up to the thirteenth floor at the moment when the sea water poured back in. At that moment, people were everywhere, crowded in the stairwell, and the crowd crowded upwards crazily, and there was a loud noise overhead.

Zhang Min secretly thought that something was wrong, so he jumped up immediately, and turned sideways under the banister of the stairs, from the fourteenth floor to the fifteenth floor, and then down the sixteenth floor, there were people everywhere, the loud noise above his head was getting closer and closer, the turbulent The sea water rushed down like a roaring monster, Zhang Min flew into the vent connecting the 16th floor, the next moment the water pushed him straight out, bumped into the long and narrow vent a few times, and fell to the ground.

The sound of sea water pouring into the sixteenth floor made Zhang Min stand up and rush across the corridor in embarrassment.

"Alarm, alarm." The electronic female voice sounded: "The emergency system is on, all vents are closed, please evacuate to the nearest safe passage."

Zhang Min rushed out of the aisle, screamed at the corner, and bumped into a woman.

"I'm sorry." Zhang Min hurriedly pulled her up, and asked in surprise, "Feng Hua?"

As soon as the vent was closed, the water on the sixteenth floor stopped immediately.

That woman was Xie Fenghua, trembling standing in the knee-deep water.

"Zhang Min?" Xie Fenghua said, "Why are you on the sixteenth floor? Can you go through the safe passage?"

Zhang Min looked up and saw that the place where Xie Fenghua ran out was the information exchange center of the United Front Work Department, panting and said, "No, it's flooded."

"Follow me!" Xie Fenghua dragged Zhang Min to the elevator room at the end of the corridor, swiped his card to enter, and said, "This is a small elevator dedicated to the information center... to deliver materials to reporters."

As soon as Zhang Min entered, he frantically pressed the elevator buttons.

"Only you?" Zhang Min said.

Xie Fenghua gasped and said, "The north safe passage is flooded, but the south aisle is still fine. Everyone else ran away from the south aisle! A monster got involved... Where is Cassia?"

Zhang Min's face was pale, and he replied: "I don't know, we went in two different directions... He went south, thank God, he must be fine."

Zhang Min: "As long as Caesar is safe this time... I will..."

Xie Fenghua said: "Zhang Min, don't be nervous, you will be fine. We have escaped from Yu Town, so we are still afraid of this little trouble? Right?"

Xie Fenghua smiled, and Zhang Min also laughed.

There was a loud noise at the top, and the elevator stopped going up.

In an instant, the elevator fell with a bang, Xie Fenghua screamed loudly, Zhang Min immediately said: "Hold on tight!"

The hanging rope broke, and the small elevator fell down from a height of ten meters with a rumbling sound, and fell into the water with a bang, the sea water lost its momentum, Xie Fenghua fainted, and Zhang Min suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The elevator sank slowly in the sea water, the water level rose, and the cold water stirred, Xie Fenghua woke up.

Zhang Min panted and looked up, the sea was freezing cold, rising higher and higher, he looked up, punched the elevator light panel, climbed up, and hugged Xie Fenghua up.

Xie Fenghua was dizzy and stood unsteadily on the top of the elevator.

There was rushing water everywhere, Zhang Min gritted his teeth and removed an iron bar on the elevator, pried open the high door, and climbed into the eighteenth floor - China Military Machinery Research Institute.

Xie Fenghua couldn't help coughing, the second door was open, halfway through it the power went off.

They passed through the eighteenth floor and entered the center of the workshop. Zhang Min looked around and tried to turn on the power.

"The emergency power system of the Mechanical Research Center is activated." The female voice prompted.

All the lights on the entire floor were turned on, and a female voice said, "The defense mechanism is activated."

There were bangs and bangs everywhere, and hundreds of doors slammed shut one after another.

Zhang Min nodded unconsciously with his fingers, and said, "Now... let me look at the elevator, there is a special elevator..."

He turned on the elevator switch, and before his fingers touched it, there was a muffled sound in the distance, and all the lights went out.

Zhang Min: "..."

Xie Fenghua: "..."

Zhang Min: "It's not a short circuit, I...haven't touched it yet. It seems that the power system is completely destroyed again, and it's troublesome now."

Xie Fenghua reluctantly nodded and said: "I... can testify. There won't be too much compensation."

Sixth District, Tenth Floor:

A group of children came over spontaneously, and Jue Ming buried his head in the instructions taught by Meng Jianguo, loaded his pistol, and said, "Everyone sit down."

Ten students sat down along the wall, and Meng Jianguo watched them silently.

"Where's your father?" Meng Jianguo patted Cassia Ming's head.

Jueming: "I'm trying to save me."

Meng Jianguo said, "My biological father."

Cassia shook his head, and Meng Jianguo said, "Where's mother?"

Jueming said, "I don't know, my dad said he picked me up."

Meng Jianguo nodded and said, "When my son was your age, he was not as calm as you, too impetuous. Look at your pocket."

Jueming was still wearing Meng Jianguo's big coat, which was thick, warm, and practical. He put his hand in his pocket, found a photo, and took it out to look at it.

Above is when Meng Jianguo was young, let Meng Feng ride on his neck.

Cassia looked sideways at Meng Jianguo and compared it with the photo.

Meng Jianguo knew what he was thinking, and said with a smirk, "It's getting old."

Jue Ming shook his head and said, "It looks better now than in the photo."

Meng Jianguo is forty-six years old, mature, steady, and courteous to common people—especially to ladies. That demeanor is simply a girl killer, he is as resolute and reliable as Meng Feng, but not as young and impetuous as Meng Feng.

Jue Ming said: "Uncle Meng has protected many of us."

Meng Jianguo finally remembered that when Wu Shuangshuang came with Meng Feng's letter, Meng Feng asked his father to be kind to his companions on the way to escape with a ruthless and almost unfamiliar style of writing, while he stayed at the front line and sacrificed his life for the country in exchange the price.

Meng Jianguo read the letter for a long time, read the list carefully, and finally wrote a note himself, and handed it over to the Ministry of People's Livelihood for coordination. At that time, there were Zhang Min and Jue Ming.

"This is what he should do." Meng Jianguo said.

"Oh." Jue Ming replied.

Quiet.

After a while, Jue Ming said, "Do you want me to talk about him?"

Meng Jianguo: "..."

Jue Ming: "If you give me a panda, I'll tell you how I met him until now. You must really want to know what your son has done, right?"

Meng Jianguo: "Did you learn this trick from a man named Liu Yan?"

Cassia: "White Chow Chow is fine too, just ask for a bigger one."

Meng Jianguo: "Tell me, pandas can't guarantee it, but chow chows are not a big problem."

Cassia put Zheng Qi's shoulders on his shoulders, and began to recall every little bit from knowing Meng Feng to living in Yongwang Town.

At the same time, the submarine approached the deep sea, stretched out the access bridge, and embedded itself into the bottom of the buildings in the sixth district with a bang.

"Start action!" Lai Jie, who was bruised and swollen, gestured, and the three bruised and swollen members each prepared their weapons.

"I wish you success—" a voice came from the submarine's radio.

Lai Jie led the team members to run across the corridor, opened the waste discharge chute, there was a humming sound, the giant garbage tilting bucket rose slowly, and the submarine bridge left.

The door slammed shut, and Meng Feng threw out a small glowing lamp, which stuck to a high place.

Everyone looked up and saw that the ten-meter-high space was surrounded by walls full of rust, which were corroded by sea water. Sticky garbage hanging from the power blowdown turbine.

With a thick layer of mud under his feet, Meng Feng took a step, and his military boots crushed the test tube, making a soft noise.

"I rely on..." Wen Qiege picked up something on the turbine blade with the muzzle of a gun, it was a severed hand of a person.

"Don't move around." Lai Jie had his hands behind his back, his feet were slightly apart, and his slender figure looked tall and straight under the light. He turned his head and scanned the surroundings with infrared lenses.

Liu Yan said: "It doesn't work here, we have to change to another place, enter from the turbine."

"Come in." Lai Jie said: "Meng Feng will lead, and I will be the rear."

Everyone entered the turbine propeller, which was a deep circular pipe, moist and greasy inside, filled with an unknown amount of biochemical waste, and the smell of disinfectant was very choking.

At the end of the main pipe, there are 16 more pipes. Lai Jie chose the sixth pipe, which leads to a laboratory on the 19th floor closest to the elevator. The pipes are quiet, and water droplets from nowhere drip rhythmically. , a soft sound every few seconds, like a monster biting the spirit in the dark, suppressing everyone's tense nerves.

Rai Jie spoke, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Have you ever been to Hong Kong?"

"No." Meng Feng said disapprovingly, "I've never been there before, and I still want to go abroad if I have the chance."

"It's not going abroad now." Wen Qiege said at the end of the line: "We are on the high seas."

Several people laughed.

Lai Jie said: "When I was a soldier, I always wanted to go to Hong Kong to buy an iPhone 5, but I had no chance and no money."

"What happened later?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

Lai Jie concentrated on looking at the depths of the sewage pipe, and continued to move forward under the illumination of the cold light tube. He said: "Finally, I have a chance to go, but you haven't joined the Hurricane team yet..."

This is one of the responsibilities of the captain of the special forces, and Meng Feng has also received this kind of training - when performing tasks in a closed space, the captain needs to speak from time to time to relieve the mental pressure of the team members.

Wen Qige, Li Yan, and Liu Yan have not received formal training, and Lai Jie's words really relieved their tension.

"After the outbreak of the zombie wave, the Hurricane team's first stop is Hong Kong." Lai Jie's voice echoed in the deep channel: "A tiny place, with a population of six million, and zombies everywhere... Every place you can think of is full of zombies... It's zombies. Victoria Harbor, Central... densely packed, many people calling for help, and more living dead. The barracks of the Hong Kong Garrison, the subway stations in the New Territories... the scene is really spectacular."

"What happened later?" Wen Qiege asked.

Lai Jie: "Five members of the Hurricane team died, including the captain. The entire army was almost wiped out in the first battle. Liu Yan, have you ever been abroad? Do you know the population of India? A place as small as India , when the zombie tide breaks out, it will be the ghost hell mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures... "

"Meng Feng, what is your ideal?" Wen Qiege asked.

Meng Feng said: "I used to think that if there is a chance, I can earn money and take my wife to travel all over China. Walk around, see, and travel."

Li Yan smiled and said, "It's almost the same now."

Meng Feng smiled: "I have traveled a lot."

In the dark, Li Yan touched Wen Qige with his elbow and asked, "Brother Wen, where's yours?"

Hearing and singing: "There is nothing special I want to do."

Liu Yan: "Have you converted to Heavenly Father?"

Wen Qige laughed and said, "Who is the Heavenly Father? I have gradually become my belief. What about you, Li Yan?"

Li Yan said: "After everything settles down, I want to find a farm with Fenghua, like your Yongwang Town, where we can grow fields and live a leisurely life."

Lai Jie walked to the end of the sewage pipe and said: "There will be a chance. You two are non-staff personnel. After the vaccine's three-time effectiveness disappears, the state will send a lot of money to let you go back to live a better life. Everyone cheer up. I'm going to open the waste chute."

The baffle of the waste chute opened, and with a bang, Lai Jie fell down, rolled on the spot and got up, glanced around, Meng Feng jumped down, and the two patrolled back to back.

The biochemical test benches were arranged neatly above the head. They were originally fixed on the ground. At the moment, broken petri dishes, test tubes, and beaker remains were scattered on the head, feet, and ceiling. The laboratory formed a very strange space scene.

The power could not be turned on. After Lai Jie threw out the lighting adsorption lamp, the whole laboratory was filled with green light.

"It's safe for now, you can come out." Meng Feng said.

"Look there." Lai Jie pointed his gun at the open door: "Something is passing by."

There was a lot of slime hanging by the door, Meng Feng took out a knife and scraped it off: "It's that thing, how did it get there?"

"I want to see it with my own eyes." Lai Jie's mouth curled up arrogantly.

"It got in from the sewage pipe." Liu Yan said, "I don't think it's safe here...can I change it?"

Lai Jie signaled to wait a moment, and Meng Feng started to investigate the door. Liu Yan put the box on a high swivel chair and opened it. The plan map of the nineteenth floor was very different from the eighteenth floor. Thousands of small laboratories were like a honeycomb. They are densely connected, surrounded by a huge central independent computer electronic system.

Liu Yan suddenly felt something and turned his head to take a look.

There are many messy devices in the surrounding corners. His professional field does not involve biology, most of which cannot be named, but at that moment, he felt that there was something in a sealed iron can.

"This is not a good habit, Liu Yan." Meng Feng said: "Put that thing down, have you played too many rpg games, and you like to steal things by touching the corners as soon as you enter a new map."

Liu Yan put down the jar, turned around, took out a small precision detector, and opened it.

Beep beep beep, the detector reported life fluctuations, and there was a weak life reaction in the tin can.

Liu Yan picked it up, placed it in the center of the room, and changed the penetrating ray scan. Looking at the pattern displayed on the screen, Shi Mo was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.

"What did you find?" Li Yan asked.

"An embryo." Liu Yan replied tremblingly.

There was a terrifying silence in the laboratory, and the sound of the life detector stopped.

"Killed by beta rays." Liu Yan said: "Get out of here quickly, this is not something we should know..."

Lai Jie immediately left the laboratory. Most of the doors were locked. Meng Feng knocked open one of them. It was an administrative office. Under the overturned table lay a bloody body with its head torn off.

Meng Feng dragged the corpse out by grabbing its feet and threw it aside. Lai Jie smashed the fluorescent lamp slot on the ceiling under his feet with a few shots. After checking the vent, Wen Qiege took out several locks and fastened the vent firmly. .

"Brother Wen stays to protect Liu Yan." Lai Jie said: "A temporary base is set up here, Li Yan will follow us, let's find the passage!"

Wen Qiege straightened the table and locked the door. Liu Yan opened the iron box on the table and activated the locator.

Three light spots scattered into the passageway on the nineteenth floor, Liu Yan looked at the screen without saying a word.

Wen Qiege stood aside, buried her head in her wallet, took out a piece of paper and looked at it.

"Brother Wen, what is that?" Liu Yan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, but did not turn his head: "Meng Feng, you are approaching the main elevator of A, pay attention to the long corridor behind you, don't be attacked by surprise. Jay watch out for the top of your head, there's a vent."

Wen Qiege pressed the microphone of the calling medal with one hand, and replied: "Trust."

Liu Yan: "Who gave it to you? Li Yan, you'd better move faster. Octopuses are cold-blooded animals, so they cannot be detected."

Hearing and singing: "A friend, is it important?"

Liu Yan shrugged and said, "Ask casually, just curious, you don't have to answer."

Wen Qige said, "Guess?"

Liu Yan pressed the wheat with his thumb, and smiled slyly: "Xie Fenghua."

Smell and sing: "..."

"How did you guess? Fenghua told you about me?" Wen Qiege frowned.

Liu Yan thought to himself: Because you pressed the mic and didn't want other teammates to hear our conversation, neither Lai Jie nor Meng Feng would care about this. The only possibility is Li Yan's girlfriend.

But Liu Yan didn't say anything, and said casually: "Yes."

Wen Qiege asked nervously: "What did she say about me?"

Liu Yan smiled: "Tell me what the letter said first."

Wen Qige replied: "Nothing special."

Liu Yan: "She didn't say anything special about you."

Smell and sing: "..."

After a while, Wen Qi sang: "She just encouraged me. When I was still in Yongwang Town, you know, I made a very serious... mistake."

Liu Yan: "You have already made amends, brother Wen, don't think about that again."

Wen Qiege nodded, and asked again: "Feng Hua mentioned me? What did she say?"

Liu Yan shot himself in the foot with a rock, but fortunately Meng Feng came to the rescue in time.

"Liu Yan!" Meng Feng said: "I found the passage! Everyone gather here... No!"

There was a bang bang bang sound, and the gunshots in the communicator were deafening, followed by a bang, and the blasting sound was clearly audible.

"Meng Feng!" Liu Yan shouted.

After a long time, Meng Feng's voice came from the communicator: "It's okay, you will definitely like that thing just now... Charcoal-grilled squid whiskers... Come all over here, gather at my place, and go up to the eighteenth floor."

Liu Yan packed the suitcases, and went out of the administration office with Wen Qiege, Lai Jie and Li Yan gathered towards Meng Feng's place.

Eighteenth floor:

Gunshots and explosions shook the entire Sixth District. The floor above his head shook slightly, and dust fell down. Zhang Min looked up.

"Is anyone there!" Zhang Min shouted.

"Someone probably came to rescue us." Xie Fenghua said.

Zhang Min looked around, Xie Fenghua said: "It seems to come from the south?"

Zhang Min stood up and said, "Go and have a look."

In the independent workshop in the deepest part of the research institute, the door was half closed and the electricity was cut off. Zhang Min barely squeezed through the crack of the door and pulled Xie Fenghua in. This is a very spacious space with a huge machine in the middle, two mechanical arms frozen in mid-air.

ten floors.

Meng Jianguo frowned and recognized the movement from deep under his feet.

"Is someone here?" One person asked, "Is it here to save us?"

Meng Jianguo said, "Someone came, but not necessarily to save us."

"Why!" Someone asked immediately.

Meng Jianguo said to Zheng Qi, "Maybe it's your father. They're going to the first floor and deploy the airbags. The sixth district will float to the surface and all of us will be saved."

Cassia said, "What are we going to do?"

Meng Jianguo shook his finger, signaling to the survivors on the opposite side to be quiet: "Please wait patiently."
