Chapter 316 Bombing
Nancheng City, Food Street. Various shops are lined up in rows, offering hot pot, crayfish, skewers, braised food and seafood.
Pedestrians filled the entire pedestrian street, and there were people queuing in front of almost every store.
"Brother, brother, I'm really sad, she, she, wuwuwu..."
At a dining table, a man cried sadly, causing the rest of the people in the store to look back frequently.
"Drink, come on, do it!"
"Look over there, look over there! It's so beautiful!"
"Boss! Add a plate of hairy belly!"
"okay!"
"Oh, it's so annoying. When will we be waiting in line..."
Amid the bustle of people, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, all kinds of emotions are full of the breath of life.
At this moment, the sky and the earth suddenly became dark.
All lights go out together. Only the fire signs were still flashing either green or red.
The noisy voices fell silent at this moment.
The next moment, the noise resumed again.
"power cut?"
"Boss! The power is out!"
"Guawazi! What's going on!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, the boss has already gone to see you!"
"The power supply bureau is so stupid, it doesn't do human affairs!"
"Depend on!"
Amidst the angry curses, a young man waiting in line outside the store inadvertently raised his head. His eyes extended beyond the street and beyond.
The high-rise buildings there have been lit almost every night since they appeared and have never been extinguished.
But now, it too has plunged into darkness.
"It seems that the power outage is not just here...the whole city has stopped? Something happened..."
A power outage involving an entire city would never happen under normal circumstances.
An ominous premonition emerged from his heart.
In the distance, in Nanli Mountain. Lu Ming, who was looking at Nancheng City from a distance, felt his heart beat violently at the moment when the whole city fell into darkness.
"I...fuck!"
He couldn't help but cursed.
At this moment, he suddenly reacted.
The monsters' plan went further than I had expected!
Their plan is not just about projecting the Magic Eye Galaxy star map onto the sky above Nancheng City. In addition, they also cut off the power supply to Nancheng City!
Obviously, once the power goes out, people's attention will immediately be diverted from the current events. After the vision appears in the sky, it will be easier to be attracted there.
At the same time, without the light pollution of the city, the clarity and brightness of star map images in the sky will instantly increase several times!
It is foreseeable that its effectiveness will also be directly improved a lot.
The entire plan is interlocking and extremely rigorous.
Now, it’s time to start!
The projection may start at any time, and star map pictures may appear over Nancheng City in the next moment!
Lu Ming was filled with anxiety.
But at this moment, in addition to eagerly anticipating the arrival of artillery or missile strikes as soon as possible, Lu Ming also had another hidden worry in his heart.
The power outage in Nancheng City was almost certainly caused by monsters. So, how do they do it?
Obviously, the most likely thing is that they dispatched some forces in advance to reach certain key nodes of the power grid that supplies power to Nancheng City in advance. Once the scheduled time is reached, they will immediately destroy the power grid to cooperate with the Laser Research Institute here. action plan.
But this means that at this moment, the monsters are not all concentrated in the research institute as I expected before. There are a fair number of monsters hidden in the rest of the places.
Then, once the institute is bombarded and completely destroyed, the monsters in other places will obviously immediately notice that something has changed. What will they do then?
They will almost certainly choose to hide immediately and lurk in order to plot from behind. But we are unable to find them, which leaves huge hidden dangers.
"Oh shit……"
Lu Ming's brain was spinning rapidly. The next moment, he immediately said quickly: "Captain, give an order to the field army so that they don't have to come here and let them go check the power grid immediately!
There are a total of six external power supply lines in Nancheng City, and the power supply of the Laser Research Institute also comes from one of them! This line is... It's G85, Changnan High Voltage Line!
There was no power outage at the Laser Research Institute, but there was a power outage in Nancheng City. The problem with the power supply line must be somewhere between the Laser Research Institute and Nancheng City! Focus on checking there! The other five lines are also checked according to this idea! "
"good."
Zhang Dingshan responded and immediately took out his mobile phone.
At this moment, the only thing we can hope for is that except for the monsters that destroyed the transmission lines, the monsters did not send their forces to other places, but concentrated all of them here at the research institute. Moreover, our side can arrive in time and wipe out these scattered monsters in one fell swoop, leaving no fish that slip through the net.
In a moment, Zhang Dingshan had finished the phone call.
"The first batch of twelve armed helicopters have taken off urgently to check the power supply lines. The follow-up troops will also arrive soon."
Lu Ming clenched his fists and found that his palms were filled with cold sweat.
"Now, the power is also out, and the best projection window time has appeared. The projection may appear at any time. I don't know when the artillery shells or missiles will come."
Zhang Dingshan said: "If the missiles haven't arrived when the projection appears, then cut off the power supply to the institute! No matter what, we can't let them really parasitize so many people and turn them into monsters!"
Although this will definitely alarm the monsters, at this time, they can no longer care about that much.
At this moment, the cold mountain wind blows, making people's hearts as cold as their bodies. The air is as heavy as mercury, making it difficult to breathe.
"Report! There is something abnormal at window four!"
Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming immediately walked over and switched the screen to window No. 4.
Under the low-light lens of the drone, Lu Ming could clearly see that there were dozens of eyeballs on the tray in the monster's hand. At this moment, it poured all the eyeballs into a funnel-shaped thing, and it didn't know what it was doing.
Those "people" who were tapping the keyboard in front of the computer have now all arrived in the factory building where the projector is installed. They stood there as if waiting for something.
At this moment, the second eyeball on their faces also disappeared. He must have picked it out and put it on the plate when he couldn't see it.
It was still quiet here, no one spoke.
After pouring the eyeballs into the funnel, the monster came to the side and pressed a button hard.
Lu Ming's heart suddenly lifted.
At this moment, electric current containing huge energy flowed into these instruments. After a series of internal transformations, a laser so intense that it was impossible to look directly was instantly projected.
Thousands of laser beams were projected in an absolutely straight line to a cloud above Nancheng City more than ten kilometers away.
The angle where Lu Ming was located was not good, and he could not clearly see the full picture of the cloud after it was projected. He could only barely see that the cloud was immediately filled with red, green, gold and other colors. It looked flat, with several cantilever-like things vaguely visible inside.
But even if he couldn't see the whole picture, Lu Ming could still tell it. It was clearly the star map of the CSK-9602 galaxy!
The monsters really projected the star map over Nancheng City!
They really did it!
Based on human technology, with some kind of super-tech material they carry as the core, with their own instincts as data, combined with each other, they really project the star map!
But now, the missiles, or the shells, haven't come yet.
At this moment, Lu Ming's heart was filled with coldness.
Nancheng City.
The city, which had fallen into a bit of chaos due to the sudden power outage, also suddenly became quiet at this moment.
The sound quickly disappeared like water above a floor drain.
Even people who didn't look up, at this moment, noticed the colorful colors reflected from the sky.
There was finally a glimmer of light in the dark night sky. Although this light looks a little strange and a little abnormal.
I don't know how many people subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the sky.
In the dark moonless and starless sky, a huge "eye" stares quietly at the world.
"So beautiful...what is that?"
"It looks like a picture of a certain river system..."
"That's obviously an eye!"
"Honey, look, look! It's so beautiful!"
"Fuck! God's eyes are open!"
In Nanli Mountain.
Before Lu Ming could speak, Zhang Dingshan had already taken out his cell phone.
"Cut off the power immediately, immediately!"
"yes!"
However, before the power was cut off, Lu Ming saw several bright spots appearing in the distant sky.
Those bright spots were like stars, appearing for only a moment and then disappearing the next moment. However, at the same time that they disappeared, a huge fire suddenly burst out from the Nanli Laser Research Institute not far away.
A huge fireball rose, instantly lighting up the surrounding sky.
The next moment, another fireball rose, then a third, a fourth...
Lu Ming felt the ground beneath his feet shaking, and at the same time he vaguely felt a gust of wind blowing on his face, bringing with it the smell of gunpowder smoke. The next moment, a loud rumble came into his ears, like thunder.
The roaring sound is endless.
The sky collapsed and the earth shattered, with a sound like thunder.
Amidst the almost continuous thunder, Lu Ming vaguely heard the wails of some birds and animals.
They were not affected. But under this bombardment that was almost as powerful as heaven and earth, they still felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
When the first shell landed at the Laser Research Institute, the star map image projected over Nancheng City had disappeared.
From the time it appeared to when it disappeared, it lasted less than five seconds.
In such a short time, it is not even enough to adjust itself to the clearest level.
The drone captured what happened within three seconds of the first shell falling.
Lu Ming saw that in the violent shaking of the earth, the monster and the "people" immediately staggered around, the huge factory building collapsed instantly, and the array of thousands of projectors was instantly destroyed.
The monsters and "people" opened their mouths at the same time and let out silent howls. Their faces were distorted, as if full of fear and panic. They seem to be looking for a place that can provide them with shelter, but there is nowhere to hide or escape.
In the last picture captured, the violent fireball expanded rapidly, swallowing half of the monster and "people".
After that, the drone lost contact with the console.
It may have been hit by the shock wave and crashed.
But even if no more photos were taken, Lu Ming could still know what would happen next.
The fireballs and shock waves expand at a speed that no living thing can avoid.
Not humans, nor aliens or monsters.
In any case, Nanli Laser Research Institute is now completely destroyed.
No creature, be it birds, animals, humans, or monsters, could survive such a bombing or have the chance to escape.
Even if you hide in the basement, you will still be shocked or blown to death.
At this moment, Nancheng City.
"Huh? Why is it gone?"
"What the hell is that? An alien?"
"Did you take the photo?"
"There's no time, it's gone before I even took out my phone..."
"Xiaoling, weren't you taking a selfie just now? Did you take a picture of that thing in the sky?"
"Take the picture, wait until I finish sending it to Moments... What's going on? Why is there no signal?"
"There's a power outage all over the city. How can there be cell phone signal?"
"Old Hei, Old Hei! If you don't know so much, what on earth is that?"
"I don't know...it might be some kind of special meteorological phenomenon...just like where you can see several suns in some places..."
"whispering sound!"
"Whatever it is, let's go and keep drinking."
"How can I drink when the power is out?"
"Didn't the boss get a generator? He'll be here soon. Let's go. You still owe two drinks. Don't lie."
As time slowly passed, some shops turned on the lights again, and the atmosphere among the customers became high again. More shops did not have generators, and customers had no choice but to leave.
This power outage caused some chaos, but everyone knows that chaos will pass. I'm afraid everything will be back to normal before dawn the next day.
The electricity will come, the mobile phone signal will be there, life will go on, everything will go on.
But this night was destined to be restless.
In Nanli Mountain, Lu Ming still did not dare to take it lightly.
Although the monsters in the Laser Research Institute have been wiped out, what about the monsters scattered outside?
After waiting for a moment, Zhang Dingshan's cell phone rang. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone.
"Lu Ming, the military, police and power repair personnel have found out that the power grid was indeed deliberately damaged. The method of destruction was a time bomb."
"Time...bomb?"
"right."
Lu Ming thought silently.
The time bomb can be installed in advance and left, and it will explode when the time is up. This means that there may not necessarily be monsters scattered outside the Laser Research Institute.
But the problem is that we can't be sure.
Zhang Dingshan continued: "It is expected that the power supply in Nancheng City will be fully restored within three hours. This power outage will not cause any serious losses to the city."
There will definitely be losses, but they won't be too big. Because as long as it is a critical or important department, there will be an emergency backup power supply, which can definitely support more than three hours.
Lu Ming nodded silently.
"No matter how it ends, this matter will come to an end now. The two of us, prepare to be examined. Let He Wei do the follow-up search."
Yes... The Laser Research Institute was completely blown up and bulldozed. This incident has come to an end.
"good."
