Chapter 90: Heart Pulse

The grenade that had been pulled open and broken slowly rolled into the workshop.

The few people who saw this scene reacted quickly and rolled on the ground behind the sturdy equipment inside the workshop.

However, there was no shelter next to the two patrol members standing next to the gate.

Instead, one of the members reacted very quickly and kicked the grenade out through the crack of the door.

It hit the door of the workshop, closed the door again, and pressed against the door tightly.

The explosion of the grenade was accompanied by the shock wave that slightly opened the door, triggering a shrill alarm that sounded at the same time in the building of the Administration.

After the impact of the explosion, the two patrol members immediately opened the door of the workshop again

Using the cover of the door panel, they prepared to fight back.

If you are beaten in such a place in the Administration, it is very likely that you will die slowly if you don’t fight back and find a way to leave.

But they just opened the door and saw several bodies lying on the ground, including their own people and outsiders they had never seen before.

They were forced back by bullets fired from the other side of the corridor and explosives thrown from the corner.

The successive explosions of explosives and the bullets flying around in the narrow space made the environment in the basement of the Administration Building even more chaotic.

Fortunately, the protective equipment they were wearing was quite complete and of high quality, allowing them to withdraw safely and close the door of the workshop again.

The two team members quickly checked the situation of themselves and their comrades next to them, and couldn't help cursing; "Fuck, the Administration has come to this point? The military came directly to our hometown to kill people?"

The factory director who was hiding with Lao Wu suddenly pulled out the pistol with an automatic locking system from Lao Wu's waist that he had spent a lot of money to get.

At the same time, he also threw a gun similar to Lao Wu's pistol that he carried with him, and a dagger in a very futuristic metal sheath to the patrol team members in front.

"Take the things and guard the door."

"Yes!"

After hiding in the bunker again, the factory director took out the terminal and clicked a few times, saying: "If we continue to stay here, sooner or later there will be problems. We must go to a safer place."

Old Wu was a little pessimistic about the factory director's idea and said: "Even the basement of the management bureau building has been attacked. Where else in the whole building is safe?"

The factory director also knew that what Old Wu said was correct. His brows couldn't help but frowned a lot, and he switched to the map of the upper floors of the management bureau building on the terminal.

In the entire management bureau, the director's office should be the only place with the highest security.

But before he could express this idea, Chen Ming suddenly said: "I think it's not safe anywhere now."

"Do you remember that the door of the workshop is electronically locked? If it is locked, you can either scan the ID code of the maintenance plant employee or open it directly with administrator privileges."

"Otherwise, we can only rely on hacking technology to crack it, but just now the door opened directly when there was movement outside."

"The cracking speed should not be that fast, right? Unless the network security of the Administration is not good."

The factory director has been on the space station for many years and has some understanding of the security system of the Administration building. He said: "That's not the case. You mean there is a ghost in the Administration, either the management or our maintenance plant?"

Chen Ming did not admit or deny, but said: "I'm just guessing."

"No matter which one is the truth, it doesn't matter where we go."

"We can't prevent ghosts now, nor can we prevent people who can directly hack "The hackers who entered the Administration."

"So it's safer here before we figure out who has the problem."

The factory manager hesitated and said, "But if we can't get out, we will be caught in the trap sooner or later. We have no way out now."

"No, the alarm has sounded, and the guards in the building must have started to move."

"The current situation is a double sandwich, we are sandwiched in the innermost, and the military is sandwiched in the middle."

"As long as we can drag it out, they will be in more trouble."

Old Wu also supported Chen Ming's idea and said, "Yes, there are only five of us now. Can you still rush past the group of people outside?"

The factory manager was silent for a while, sighed and said, "Yes, I really can't rush out. I was too anxious and there was something wrong with my thinking."

"But now the communication signal has also been blocked. How long it will take to wait for the guards above to come down is impossible to determine."

Chen Ming didn't feel anything special about the signal being blocked.

"It's not a big problem. This is expected. They have used it before."

"If the communication is not interrupted now, I will doubt whether they have some conspiracy to rely on communication to achieve it."

"I didn't expect them to dare to act directly at the Administration."

Old Wu suddenly rushed to Chen Ming from behind the bunker where the factory director was and said, "Xiao Mu, how did you manage to be so concerned about it?"

Chen Ming didn't pay attention to Old Wu's actions. He took the box on the workbench in his arms, picked up the tools and started to pry.

At the same time, he answered: "Didn't I tell you before? When we were talking about Yu Hui and the military at the factory director's place, didn't I tell you about this?"

The factory director casually echoed: "Yes, I also reported this matter before."

"That's not the case."

"Not the case?"

Chen Ming didn't stop his hand movements and said: "Let me calculate it."

"A giant creature with an average body length of 50 meters, it's okay to excrete four or five tons?"

"No problem."

"It usually eats stones and digests slowly. It's okay to excrete once every three days?"

"No problem."

"Then if I am still alive, resulting in you losing an average of one and a half tons of Sky Steel ore every day, what do you think?"

"I don't know the price of Sky Steel ore, but the price of ingots is one thousand or more per gram, one kilogram is one million, and one ton is one billion."

Old Wu was silent for a moment.

Chen Ming put all the materials he had just taken out of the box on the workbench in different categories, and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, there is more."

"I just said one, and the airfish is a social creature. The number of a group is about fifty to one hundred. Why don't you count it yourself?"

"Ha... You've made me want to do that."

"Then why do you think the military is coming to kill me?"

"Pretend I didn't ask."

Old Wu suddenly rushed back to the factory director, looking a little autistic.

Chen Ming ignored him, took out the broken mind wave generator he brought with him, and began to disassemble it on the workbench and with his own tools.

He was not on the spaceship now, and could not directly open the panel of items other than the spaceship.

So Chen Ming could only repair the mind wave generator manually.

Fortunately, he had just ordered a batch of materials from the owner of the second-item recycling shop. Under the financial offensive, the owner was very enthusiastic and sent the goods to the management bureau faster than Chen Ming.

Maybe the warehouse of the recycling shop owner is in the city, and Chen Ming arranged for it to be delivered as soon as he ordered it.

At least now the materials are complete, and Chen Ming has a way to solve the problem himself.

Although Chen Ming knows nothing about the mind wave generator itself.

But this does not have much impact.

Modifying and repairing something are completely different.

Modification requires a comprehensive understanding of the thing that needs to be modified, but repair only needs to replace the new materials according to the appearance when it was disassembled and put it back in the original state.

Moreover, the repair panel that Chen Ming opened does not only have the materials needed for repair and the repair button.

The whole process of repair is clearly written on it.

Chen Ming's memory is pretty good.

With complete equipment and materials, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Using mind pulse is the simplest and most efficient way Chen Ming can think of to deal with the current situation.

Once the mind pulse goes down, it is estimated that no one in the entire management bureau building can stand except Chen Ming, Lao Wu and the factory director.

At this time, Chen Ming could not consider whether the mental pulse would affect other people. His life was the most important thing.

Chen Ming took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

While listening to the noisy sounds outside, he accelerated his actions.

But after a short moment of silence, the people outside continued to move.

The lighting system in the workshop suddenly went out, and the equipment Chen Ming was operating suddenly crashed.

The obvious characteristics of the electromagnetic pulse made the team members guarding the door couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, again?"

If there is no lighting underground, then there is really only darkness.

Fortunately, several people in the workshop, except for the factory director, carry flashlights with them.

Re-light the interior of the room.

Chen Ming did not waste time because of the darkness. Through the illumination of the exoskeleton armor headlight, he continued to repair the mental wave generator.

Although the equipment in the workshop could not be used, the small generator itself did not need the assistance of large equipment. Even without the assistance of equipment, it would only take a few more steps.

The workshop and the ordinary tools Chen Ming brought with him were enough to repair it.

Just at this moment.

A sound like an electric drill suddenly came from the outside of one wall of the workshop, followed by a violent explosion.

However, the workshop just shook slightly, and no further situation occurred, as if it was not affected at all.

Chen Ming raised his head slightly and glanced at the wall where the explosion sounded and said: "I remember that the sound insulation of the workshop is not very good, but the protection measures seem to be very special."

The factory director reached out and patted the wall next to him and said: "Yes, there was an accident in the workshop before."

"When it was rebuilt, it was directly based on the maximum thickness. Ordinary individual weapons cannot destroy it."

"On the contrary, the door is relatively fragile, so the only door leading out of the workshop is opened in the corner underground. Even if there is another accident, it will not affect the surrounding areas."

Chen Ming lowered his head again and continued his work.

However, the people outside did not seem to give up. After changing direction, they created another huge vibration.

However, the actual result was still the same. The interior of the workshop just shook, shaking some wall dust off.

After two consecutive failed attempts, the outside of the workshop was temporarily quiet for a few minutes.

Although they only needed to guard the end of the only corridor with only one exit outside the workshop.

But such terrain also determined that they could not rush in directly from the narrow passage.

So they would consider opening a hole in the wall to get out.

It just failed, so they had to consider other ways.

A few minutes later.

The patrolman guarding the door suddenly signaled to others and said, "I heard some movement outside, they are coming slowly."

"The door can never be blocked in the situation just now, we must attack them in advance."

The patrolman clenched his hand on the grip of the gun, ready to react at any time.

At this moment, the last step of repairing the mind wave generator was finally completed.

Chen Ming stood up from behind the workbench with the generator.

The whispering spirit stone in his hand, which was emitting irritating psychic fluctuations, made him feel extremely relieved.

However, Chen Ming did not rush to start it, but said to the two team members in front: "Just fire two shots and retreat, there is no need to defend, let some people in."

The factory director couldn't help but said: "You are simply gambling with your life."

Chen Ming glanced at the delicate mechanical device in his hand and said: "It's not a gamble, it's just to ensure the success rate."

"And opening the door and letting people in is actually delaying their progress."

"I just said it, the reason why the military is chasing me."

"If I am alive, then the profits of Sky Steel will return to the company, so the company has the same reason as the military to protect me."

"If I die here, the people above the company should be more anxious than anyone else."

While the people outside the workshop were pressing step by step.

The chaos on the upper floors of the Administration Building has gradually subsided.

The director of the Administration Bureau wore the XD-01 heavy power armor developed by Xinda Company, and started to sweep from the middle floor where his office was located with his trusted guards.

After clearing out the people who were causing chaos on the upper floors of the building, he started to sweep from the top to the lower floors with the reorganized guards.

In more than ten minutes, except for the two underground floors and the first to third floors on the ground.

All those who were causing trouble in the company were subdued by him with absolute violence.

In fact, the actual number of people who caused chaos on the upper floors was not large, only about twenty.

They roamed around in each floor, setting fires and installing small bombs to create chaos.

Although the director handled it quickly, his expression under the power armor helmet was not good.

And at this time, the inside of his helmet mask was showing an ongoing call.

On the other end of the call was a person who was dressed and had a temperament very similar to the chairman Xu Lin who had talked to Chen Ming before, and was also a director of the company.

Although the director was full of anger, he still maintained respect for the director and said: "There is a split within the Administration."

"It has been confirmed that there are a total of three managers above the working group leader and six ordinary employees, mainly military factions."

The director suddenly sneered on the other end of the phone and said: "Hehe, it seems that the emergence of the military faction within the company is not only because the market and environment require the company to have good relations with the government and the military, but also because of the military's instigation."

"I don't care about the losses of the Administration. You just need to handle the matter and give me a report."

"Yes."

"Then what about the most important person?"

"He was previously assigned to the underground maintenance workshop of the Administration. Only a few people have access to the department's exclusive room."

"The workshop itself Due to the nature of the work and the causes of previous accidents, all configurations are in accordance with the highest standards of protection capabilities, and the safety factor is guaranteed. I am on my way there now."

"Can you get in touch?"

"No, the communication blockage started from underground, and it is bad news."

"There is a record in the database that someone opened the workshop with an ID code when chaos broke out in the building."

"I arranged a reliable security personnel for Director Lu in advance, but I am not sure if it worked."

The director was silent for a while. He knew that there was no point in blaming him now, and just said: "Speed ​​up, I don't want to see a disappointing result."

"Yes."

"Well, the military must be ready to take action directly, and I must start preparing here as well."

The director hung up the call.

At this moment, the door leading to the next floor in front of him suddenly closed, and a layer of partitions appeared from the left and right of the door and closed.

The passage to the next floor was completely locked.

To be precise, it was not just the door leading to the next floor that was locked, but all the doors near the lower three floors and the two underground floors in the entire administration building were locked.

And a new prompt sound appeared in the alarm that had been ringing.

"Psychic pulse attack detected, located on the second underground floor, please leave immediately."

A small amount of silent alloy was added when the administration building was built. Although it cannot be completely blocked, it is enough to buffer some of the mental pulses.

In addition, detection equipment was installed in various places inside the administration. When psychic fluctuations were detected, the alarm would be activated immediately and the doors between nearby basements would be closed.

Naturally, silent alloy was also added to the door to ensure that the mental pulse had the least impact on the outside.

This is basically something that all power departments will do.

The director did not need to listen to the alarm content. When he saw the door suddenly closed, he knew what happened.

It's just that he is not sure who released the mental pulse. But no matter who released the mental pulse, the situation underground is definitely much worse than that on the upper floor.

There is no time to wait for the director's multiple authority confirmation to open the blocked door. The director directly tore the blocked door open with the power armor.

While adding a sentence to the alarm, it also left a hole for him to pass directly.

"Speed ​​up, we don't have much time."

Time went forward a little.

As the chaos in the upper level of the Administration subsided.

The military team that commanded the group of people who relied on spies and betrayers to enter the building was once again in trouble.

Due to time constraints, the military team did not have time to enter the building, and could only rely on the remote support provided by the informant to the people in the building.

But the effect was not very ideal.

The captain, who had just spoken to his superior, returned to the team and said, "How is the situation?"

The hacker team member said anxiously, "We have much fewer means to use when we are not on the scene than outside, and the situation is much more troublesome."

"They also broke all the cameras in the room in advance, and I can't see the situation inside at all."

"And why would they install a half-meter thick steel interlayer in a studio? It's clearly not the case on the design drawing."

The captain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down, this is our last chance."

"If we can't handle it even if we lose all the professional manpower and two informants, we should be prepared to go to a planet where no one lives to mine coal."

The hacker team member couldn't calm down at all after listening to the captain's words, but he didn't continue to vent his emotions.

He exhaled and said, "This is the last attempt. I can temporarily overload the equipment in the workshop, which should cause some chaos."

"Whether we can complete the task depends on the future."

After the captain gave an order to the people underground in the administration building through the informant.

They directly sent three people with a bag of thermite to the door.

Before being shot dead by the patrol team members who heard the noise, one of them desperately smashed the burning thermite on the door.

The door of the workshop was completely destroyed in an instant.

A patrol team member did not retreat in time, and one arm was severely burned, losing a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the equipment inside the workshop suddenly overloaded and a large number of sparks burst out.

Although no actual damage was caused, this moment did make Chen Ming dazzled.

At the same time, dense footsteps were heard outside the corridor, and the last few projectiles they had were thrown into the workshop.

For a time, flames, explosions, and smoke filled the room, and the chaotic situation made it impossible to see the specific situation.

Fortunately, all the staff in the workshop were armed, and the workshop was very large.

These projectiles could only slightly disturb them at most, and could not cause actual damage.

But the military people didn't actually expect this.

After they threw all the projectiles, they rushed directly into the workshop carrying heavy riot shields in the smoke-filled passage.

Even though it was extremely chaotic now, with the sound of alarms and the crackling sound of equipment leakage, Chen Ming still heard some chaotic sounds at once.

"There are footsteps! They are coming."

Hearing Chen Ming's reminder.

Even the injured team members immediately turned out of the bunkers they were hiding in, and stretched out their gun barrels from the door melted by thermite to shoot at the outside.

But electromagnetic weapons may not be able to penetrate these professional riot shields at close range.

The weapons used by the management bureau were stolen and now became an obstacle.

After killing the three people who rushed in the front, the remaining dozen people had already rushed to the door of the workshop.

The one who rushed to the front used his shield to knock away the two team members blocking the door and rushed directly into the workshop.

His target was Chen Ming.

The others who could not get in in a short time raised their guns and aimed at the patrol team members who were knocked to the ground.

Now is the time.

At this distance, no one should be able to resist the mental pulse.

Chen Ming pressed the button of the mental wave generator.

A mental pulse that ordinary people had no resistance to instantly echoed in the small space.
