Chapter 136 Power Outage and Deployment

The two did not dare to delay any longer, and after meeting up with Lao Jin and Li Dongbao, they immediately boarded a heavy truck to rush to the space hangar. However, they were intercepted before they even got on the highway.

“The road ahead is blocked.”

Inside the glass window, the McDonald staff member who was setting up the checkpoint shook his head at Solonggova in the cockpit.

"The Spiritualists are invading the central city. The situation is a bit serious this time. Two minutes ago, the board of directors issued a martial law order. No one can be allowed to pass without a pass. You should go back the same way. You are lucky. Many cars are stuck on the blocked road now, and the hangar is in chaos."

At this time, more than half an hour had passed since Zheng Yuanfu was attacked.

Upon hearing this, Solong Gaowa looked at the co-pilot Gu Jianqiu.

"Report to the Chief First."

Gu Jianqiu said helplessly.

Solong Gaowa nodded, but before Gu Jianqiu could make any move, his radio rang first.

"Did you find Zoro?"

Jiao En's voice came from inside.

"We were on our way, but McDonald has declared martial law, and now we can't go back."

"It's okay. Find a safe place and keep the radio open. Don't hang up."

The square radio station flashed red light, special channel signals came in one after another, chaotic voices gushed out all at once, and all kinds of inaudible sentences filled the entire carriage.

"No matter what, we must first secure the Brahma Cup..."

"Keep dialing the satellite front line until you get through!"

"I am giving the order now to annihilate them immediately..."

Gu Jianqiu couldn't help but think that these people were the board members of the McDonald Space Station.

At the same time, in the control room of Tianbing Wushi.

As the residence of the chief of sequence army, this control room is really shabby, with old green painted tables and chairs, folders piled everywhere, an electric kettle and a few disposable paper cups on the table, but the walls and floor are very clean, and there is a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.

Listening to the boiling voices in the radio speaker, Jiao En couldn't help but flick the antenna with his fingers. A shrill electronic whistle finally quieted the channel.

"I'm Jiao En, I won't waste any more time. Um, Jian Qiu, tell me again what you reported to me twenty minutes ago."

Solong Gaowa started the truck and prepared to return the same way. The tires squealed as they turned the corner.

"What? A mutant electrocardiogram team with an average of more than 50 points per person? Do you know what you are talking about?"

Someone's tone was full of doubt.

Gu Jianqiu didn't know who was on the other end of the loudspeaker. He could only tell from his poor accent that it was a Chinese or Citibank employee. Considering McDonald's current background, it was more likely that he was a Citibank employee.

Some people were relatively calm and collected: "Have you ever seen a distorted electrocardiogram before?"

"No."

Golden Jasmine people, Gu Jianqiu said with certainty in his heart.

He told the other end of the radio: "I am a sophomore student in the Natural History Department of Jiangning Normal School. I have seen similar descriptions in textbooks. I think that is a variant electrocardiogram, not a strange conductor changing flame."

ECG is usually blue, but when reacting with strange conductors, it may emit various strange flame colors. For example, tungsten filament will turn it into gold. However, it will not change the nature of the ECG, it just looks fancy.

"Ahem, I have to interrupt now, Chief Jiaomu."

A male voice that had never been spoken before came from the channel: "You just introduced him as a servant soldier, right? Has he received formal military training? Can you tell us his current ECG readings?"

"He has no formal training. His electrocardiogram is about thirty."

When Jiao En mentioned Gu Jianqiu's ECG reading, he obviously hesitated. He had noticed the last time he took the wine that this kid named Gu was holding back on his ECG reading.

The Citibank man sneered, "Since he has not received any investigative training, I don't think his description is credible. Let me ask you, if his intelligence is completely accurate, how did he, a servant with only 30 points of electrocardiogram and unarmed, escape from the scene?"

"The enemy's only target was the Eggman and Zheng Yuanfu. They had no interest in anyone else. I wasn't the only one who escaped at that time."

Gu Jianqiu actually had no intention of wasting his breath. He was just a servant, a subordinate, responsible only for providing intelligence. As for whether to adopt it and how to act, it was the leader's responsibility.

A weak voice suddenly interrupted: "In fact, we can't conclude that His Highness was attacked. In the past, he often lost contact for two or three days, and in the end he was either drunk or taking drugs. Now he has only been out of contact for an hour, maybe, haha..."

idiot.

Gu Jianqiu frowned when he heard this.

The relatively graceful voice just now could not help but burst out in anger after hearing this: "Idiot! Is such a large-scale attack fake? You are trying to cover your ears and steal the bell! His Highness's life may be in danger. Can we take this risk?"

"Everyone, bad news. Ten minutes ago, Falim contacted us. Your Highness was indeed attacked by the Spiritualists. The enemy carried a large amount of heavy firepower. The average electrocardiogram is estimated to be over 40 points. One of them possessed an unheard-of special electric field weapon. The Eggmen have been completely wiped out, and two of the Spiritualists were also seriously injured."

"Who is Falim?"

Jiao En asked in a deep voice.

"That's the black guy who always follows His Highness around. Humph, he's a fool and has no skills. He got to where he is today by pimping and flattering people. Why didn't those spiritualists shoot him to death?"

"I guess they ran away as soon as they saw the spiritualists appear."

Gu Jianqiu recalled the frightened face of Muqianyi.

That guy was quite smart. He was saved by Gu Jianqiu and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the person who just belittled Falim, Gu Jianqiu thought that Falim had done a good job. Bringing back this information at least proved that Falim was not determined to escape. He might have been hiding to observe the battlefield, or he might have returned again after the battle. Either way, it proved that he still had some courage and insight.

After a brief silence, a graceful voice spoke first: "Captain Jiao, you are from the Sequence Army, and it is your people who first discovered the situation. Why don't you tell us your opinion?"

Jiao En said decisively: "Contract the armed forces, focus on protecting the energy core and the central control area, and then immediately lock all the mechanical gates of McDonald's and prohibit all divine machines from entering or leaving."

It's too late, but it's better to make up for it.

Gu Jianqiu glanced at the glass pipe outside the window that was emitting strange light.

The graceful voice hesitated: "Well, I don't care about the penalty, but I don't understand the meaning of doing this. Shouldn't we immediately conduct a carpet search for this group of daring spiritualists?"

Jiao En pursed his lips and ignored the other party: "Also, immediately stop all activities in the city, and enforce silence throughout the city; activate the automatic weapon platform, and fire indiscriminately when suspicious targets are found."

This is a good suggestion. As long as it is implemented normally, it can at least delay the opponent for more than ten hours. As long as it is delayed until the radio burst ends, Gao Liuhun will be helpless.

"How can we do this? There will definitely be accidental injuries! We can't restrain those guests."

"Is the Brahma Cup going to be postponed? How much money will this cost?"

Jiao En remained silent, his temples visibly throbbing. The elegant man said in a deep voice, "Director Jiao, maybe I didn't express myself clearly. Let me be frank. Is it possible for us to negotiate with the other party? We are willing to pay a large ransom."

Solong Gaowa, who had been listening, finally couldn't help laughing, while Gu Jianqiu held his forehead and sighed.

thump.

There was a melodious sound of something heavy falling from somewhere, and a large part of the colorful glass pipes in the distance were visibly extinguished. Then one piece of flashing neon lights after another went out, and darkness gradually swallowed up the roads and buildings, and finally swept up the space truck that Gu Jianqiu was riding.

Solonggova turned on the car lights, frowned, and slowed down.

What a quick move. If it were me, I would also act immediately after catching Zheng Yuanfu.

Gu Jianqiu thought so in the darkness.

"what happened?"

Someone in the channel exclaimed.

"Well, it seems that the substation is out of order. I'll contact them later..."

boom! ! !
The violent roar made the road tremble.
Hearing the noise, Gu Jianqiu stuck his head out of the window and looked around. It was already pitch black outside. Only a few blocks centered on Yuanfu Building had neon lights on. Several glass pipes leading to the hangar were also out. McDonald was in the midst of an unprecedented power outage.

At the same time, a huge explosion came from the sky. Gu Jianqiu's face was reflected in a fiery red by the violent explosion. Amidst the flashes of lightning, armed aircraft and airships of various shapes and sizes poured in from the gap in the sky, like a swarm of red bloodthirsty locusts.

The spiritualists have completely torn through McDonald's urban defense line.

"I don't have time to argue with you sons of bitches!"

Jiao En interrupted the man angrily, his patience had reached its limit.

"Now I can conclude! The other party is trying to capture the entire Jintaihua Space Station! This is not Haitang territory! I have no responsibility to protect the people and property of Jin Moli IX! I will only say this once, listen carefully!"

He grabbed a map that was covered with scribblings, put the radio to his lips, and ran his fingers over the map for a while before poking hard at a landmark.

"Immediately send all the armed forces you can mobilize to Fokou Pass. Whether you plan to capture the energy core or the central control area, this is the only way to go. You must defend Fokou Pass at all costs!"

"Where is Fokouguan?"

The Citiman's voice sounded a little confused; he had never heard of the name.

"Weilin Zhongjie was formerly called Fokouguan, and Haitang's map is also marked like this now."

Someone in the channel explained.

"Captain Jiao, don't be angry. I will order all armed forces to return to defend now."

Yongrong's voice finally made up its mind. He probably had received the news that the city's defense line had been breached.

"How many divine machines can there be?"

When Jiao En heard this, his tone finally softened a little.

"There are probably twenty 100-ton squid-type tanks. The models are quite diverse. It will take at least two hours to return to the defense. The armed forces inside the fortress are insufficient, and the enemy is coming aggressively. You see..."

Jiao En said in a deep voice: "My people are already on their way to Fokou Pass and should be there soon."

……

Welwyn Clock Street at this moment.

The crimson engine drove past the dark buildings. Many people were looking out from behind the windows with candles in their hands. The heavy tracks rolled over the asphalt road, leaving spider-web-like cracks.

Zhu Shao in the cockpit twisted his neck, holding a spare radio in his hand: "Yes, keep an eye on their movements, and pay attention to your own safety. Oh, don't worry."

As he spoke, he drove the Tactical Dreadnought into the hexagonal mechanical gate.

……

"It will definitely not be a problem for my people to guard Fokou Pass for two hours. You can rest assured about this. The most important thing now is..."

"Captain, I have a question."

Gu Jianqiu, who had been silent all the time, spoke at an inopportune time. After thinking it over, he felt that it was necessary to remind Jiao En.

"Since the radio burst, the space hangar has been overloaded for a long time and the management is very chaotic. What if the other party has arranged a large number of explosives in the hangar in advance?"

Jiao En was stunned.
-
The speed dial of the space truck has reached its limit.

The situation deteriorated too quickly, and Jiao En was no longer able to take care of Solong Gaowa and Gu Jianqiu. In his eyes, these two people belonged to the logistics and reserve forces and should be protected. So Jiao En commanded the two to enter the central control area, which was the hiding place of the McDonald's board members. It was only through the underground well and into the deep of the fortress to reach it. It could be said that it was the safest place in the entire satellite fortress at the moment.

Suolong Gaowa glanced at Gu Jianqiu beside her and suddenly asked, "Why are you so distracted?"

"Oh Nope."

Gu Jianqiu was silent for a while, then he spoke: "Commander, my friend is still in Yuanfu Building. If the spiritualists capture the city, I'm afraid..."

"Is your friend a candidate for the Heavenly Official Examination?"

"Correct."

"Not all of the spiritualists are crazy. There are many space giants in the city. They don't dare to, uh, maybe?"

Gu Jianqiu found that Solong Gaowa seemed to speak the common language much more fluently.

"Um……"

Solong Gaowa's eyes switched back and forth between the road conditions and Gu Jianqiu's expression. Finally, she sighed and lightly stepped on the brakes. The space truck left a scorch mark on the road. Kim Go-eun and Lee Dong-bao, who were sleeping soundly in the carriage, were caught in inertia and crashed into the carriage, both of them grimacing in pain.

"Go ahead, we'll wait for you."

"Sir, what I mean is that you can go first..."

Sorongova waved her hand.

"Go."

Gu Jianqiu said nothing more, opened the car door, jumped off the truck, and ran forward. Just after turning the corner, he slid down the grass slope, and the rocket backpack emitted a tail flame, heading towards the city. But he did not go to find Fu Lemei, nor did he rush to Fokou Pass. Instead, he found a car repair shop nearby.

“We’re closing.”

The other party was a burly middle-aged woman with gold earrings. Facing the impetuous Gu Jianqiu, her hand had already grabbed the explosive rifle under the counter.

Gu Jianqiu threw all the gold jasmine coins in his pocket onto the counter.

"Boss, do you have a soldering station?"
