Chapter 496 Unidentified Creatures
But the Victory Team is not an ordinary unit. Not to mention that they just got off work. Even if they slept soundly in the middle of the night, they had to get up immediately after receiving the order. They ran to the command room as fast as possible and said, You may also need to drink a powerful refreshing drink so that you can fly a fighter jet, so although the salary of the winning team is high, it is not so easy to get.
So after Yerui issued the emergency gathering notice, in less than a minute, the victory team members who had just left hurried back. As soon as they entered the door, they saw satellite images playing on the big screen: On the dark earth , there are clusters of light, extending out strips of light, connecting the scattered ones, and also cutting the darkness into pieces.
As the 'lens' progressed, one of the groups of light was simultaneously amplified until it filled the big screen, allowing the team members to see a dark spot in the group of light, sitting on the main screen. Ye Rui, who controlled the computer, explained: "This is area S. One minute and twenty-three seconds ago, a strong high-voltage discharge was detected in this area. The phenomenon has caused a large-scale power outage. The police department has activated an emergency plan and dispatched police officers to divert traffic and maintain order. "
"High-voltage discharge?" Horii was startled when he heard this, and then walked away quickly. He walked over and said doubtfully: "I remember there are no large power generation facilities in that area."
"The weather cloud map shows that there are no conditions for thunder and lightning over area S," Ye Rui quickly tapped the keyboard to call up relevant information and said: "There are no power plants, energy storage bases or other facilities in that area, so ."
"It's an abnormal discharge phenomenon." Megumi nodded and said: "Team Horii and team member Dagu, go and investigate."
“Yes!”
Dagu and Horii stood up, quickly walked out of the command room, headed towards the garage, drove the Dram, and drove out of the headquarters along the undersea tunnel. Base, came to the brightly lit metropolis. As we walked, the light suddenly stopped. One side was filled with bright lights, and the other side was as dark as ink without any light. The line between darkness and light is clearly defined here.
Horii looked at the dark city outside the window and said puzzledly: "How could such a serious power outage happen?"
This is a metropolis with tens of millions of people living in it. It is not a village with only one transmission line. The metropolis has already built a criss-crossing power grid. One or even several cable failures will indeed cause power outages in places without backup lines, but it will definitely It is impossible to have a power outage in a large area like now. Even places with multiple backup lines such as hospitals and TV stations are in darkness. It is not a normal power outage no matter how you think about it.
"Could it be related to monsters?" This was the first possibility that Dagu thought of. Two years ago, he would never have thought about this. But now, whenever he encounters any abnormality When it comes to things, the winning team will habitually consider the factors responsible for the monster's troubles, and professional habits will be developed quickly.
"It probably has nothing to do with monsters," Horii said hesitantly: "If there are really monsters, it's not as simple as a power outage, but"
Halfway through Horii's words, Drum The car suddenly came to a sudden stop, and Horii, who was unprepared, immediately leaned forward. If it hadn't been for the safety belt, he might have hit his head on the windshield. , making Horii angrily yell: "What are you doing?"
"It's Chiba!" Dagu said, he had parked the Drum car on the side of the road and turned on the double flash, and Horii also followed. Looking forward, I saw Chiba Makoto pulling Maya forward on the dark sidewalk, shouting in surprise: "Maya!"
Chiba Cheng and Maya saw two beams of lights shining on the dark road from a distance, but they couldn't see the vehicle clearly against the lights until the car stopped on the side of the road, the door opened, and two people wearing red clothes got down from the top. Only then did the people in white uniforms realize, oh, it’s the winning team.
You haven’t called yet, why is the victory team here? "Why are you here?" Dagu walked over and said in surprise. He originally just suspected that it might be related to monsters, but now he thinks it is probably related to monsters. There are really too many examples before. Wherever there are monsters, You can see him everywhere.
On the other hand, wherever I saw him, there were abnormal phenomena in this area, so it was basically certain that there were monsters, so Dagu was already thinking about how to survive in the dark. Next, evacuate this area.
"It's great that you're here. I was just about to look for you." Chiba Cheng pulled Maya up to meet him. He roughly described what he found in the underground cable well and took out the Two balls of paper guarding the road.
Horii carefully took it and put it in the sample storage box of the Drum car, while Dagu asked the two of them to get in the car and drove them through the streets and alleys, bypassing traffic jams one after another, and arrived at the place where the incident occurred Cable well with abnormal discharge phenomenon.
Dagu and Chiba Cheng went down to the cable well one after another and saw the charred and disfigured cables, as well as the huge hole in the brick wall. Dagu took a strong flashlight to shine Looking at it, I saw a deep hole with no bottom, and no idea where it led.
While the two were squatting on the ground and observing their surroundings, there was a 'creak' from the ladder! Creak! ' There was a sound, and when I turned around, I saw Horii tremblingly walking down the ladder: "Did you find anything?"
"There is only this big hole, and there are broken cables." Dagu said I took a flashlight and shined it on both sides of the darkness. There was indeed nothing. I could imagine the scene in my mind: a strange creature dug a hole here, chewed up the cables and caused an abnormal discharge, and then drilled the hole and left.
Horii picked up the box in his hand and said: "Just use my latest invention to see what it is made of."
As he spoke, Horii knelt down, placed the box on the ground, verified his fingerprints and opened it. Inside were four mimic robots and a console with a joystick and multiple buttons.
Horii introduced proudly: "After the last Kirimon Takeyama, I began to develop an unmanned underground detection robot. This is a prototype. It uses the neutrino communication method that is still in the experiment, and can even Penetrating the earth."
Chiba Makoto raised his hand to interrupt Horii's 'speech': "I think we can let it go first. Let’s fly this prototype to learn more about it.”
“No problem!” Horii immediately began to demonstrate his invention. The mimic robot turned on the lights, moved its six mechanical legs, and ran into the big hole quickly. The rotating camera faithfully transmits the picture back, allowing the trio squatting on the ground to see the first-person perspective.
Not long after, a grey-brown furry wall appeared in front, as if hearing the movement of the robot, it suddenly turned its head. Before anyone could see what it was, the robot lost its signal, and the three of them Naturally, the group also lost the picture.
