Stocking up in the apocalypse: I am invincible with billions of points, why are you jealous?
Chapter 222 Power Outage
In a cold dead city, there exists an EMP force that can cause system paralysis and large-scale power outages, forcing Zhang Ning and Li Cheng to act quickly as if they were facing a great enemy.
Together they climbed to a high point of the refinery and used binoculars to investigate. They were surprised to find flashes of light in the distance. Judging from their frequency and direction, the flashes seemed chaotic and random, as if they had an insolent nature that didn't care about anyone's life or death.
It is obvious that the force behind these flashes aims to destroy all electronic equipment and systems in S City.
"The distribution is irregular. It is indeed a sign of an electromagnetic pulse. Generally speaking, the impact will be diffuse. What do you think?"
Zhang Ning put down the telescope and asked with a serious expression.
Li Cheng pursed his lips tightly. "A large-scale EMP attack would not be so chaotic. There is no movement or sound at all. It is too abnormal. We must be careful."
As we all know, there are two types of electromagnetic pulses currently emitted. The energy generated by nuclear explosions and explosions is converted into high-power radiation energy through devices.
The ability to emit regional electromagnetic pulses silently was simply impossible before the zombie apocalypse.
When the two looked at each other, they had the same idea - the other party must be a group of people with special abilities that use electricity!
Therefore, Zhang Ning was not in a hurry to send out the drone. The only thing they could do now was to wait silently, waiting for the flashes to stop before investigating. Fortunately, when the electromagnetic pulse occurred, the drone had been recovered into Gao Lingling's space in time.
“Carefully check the usage of the equipment in the factory, check the existing generators, and report any problems to me immediately.”
Zhang Ning directed the team members to work in an orderly manner. At the moment, they needed to ensure that the generator could be used normally, otherwise everyone would freeze to death in S City.
Li Cheng returned to the lounge next to Factory B and reunited with his team. Their plan took a sharp turn for the worse due to the sudden EMP attack. Even if they had fuel, they might not be able to leave by ship, and the navigation equipment would definitely be damaged.
The team members' faces showed a look of relief at this time. In the past, they often appeared bold and fearless, but they had always been in anxiety and fear. Even Li Cheng's plan to escape from the zombies by boat could not reduce their anxiety in the slightest.
But since entering the refinery, the mentality of the team members has obviously stabilized a lot. In a desperate situation, who wants to fight alone? Traveling with a group of people with special abilities, even the chances of survival are greatly increased.
Although Li Cheng never revealed his thoughts, it was really difficult for him to be responsible for the survival of 11 people alone. Fortunately, his luck was not bad and he successfully reached S City with some bumps and bruises. He lay down for a month to recover, and now he met the Zhongtian Army again. It seemed that God was telling him to just follow Zhang Ning obediently and not do anything else.
"We will stay here for now and act according to circumstances. It will take time to collect fuel, equipment and food. It will be more dangerous on land. As you all know, the evolution of zombies will only get faster after spring."
The team members listened to their captain quietly, and they all understood that going to the island was the best choice.
One of the team members muttered quietly: "Captain, following the Zhongtian Army is... pretty good. They are all superpowered people, and there is a powerful force behind them to support them."
Li Cheng said coldly, "We were able to come in because the Zhongtian Army weighed the pros and cons. I heard that Zhongtian and Beiji are now mortal enemies, so Zhang Ning never intended to let us go from the beginning, fearing that they would be tipped off. We can't rely on them, so remember the mission."
"Captain, why don't you tell the Zhongtian Army that we were tricked?"
When the team members heard this, they realized that the captain had complained harshly to Captain Zhang of Zhongtian. What a waste of time it was to tip off others. They couldn't get rid of their hatred unless they skinned those bastards alive. Everyone was furious.
"Now is not the right time. The communication is down. Similarly, Zhang Ning and his team can't get in touch with the headquarters. At least they will be less wary of us, which increases our chances."
"The captain is right. There is always a way out. We have made it through."
"Yeah, when we go to the sea, there's no need to worry about seafood, and there are almost no zombies."
The team regained confidence in the plan, and Li Cheng chose to reject God's kindness. He knew that his special abilities could bring corresponding benefits to Zhang Ning, and his team was an additional labor force. The labor force without special abilities was from the enemy military region, and their fate was usually not much better.
And Zhang Ning has already prepared for the worst.
The communication system cannot be repaired in a short time, and there is currently no other way to return to the island base. We can only wait for Zhongtian Headquarters to discover that we have lost contact with them and send a ship or helicopter to arrive.
Zhang Ning hopes that the electromagnetic pulse attack will only be carried out on land and will not affect the island base. If the other party causes a big explosion at sea, the base full of high-tech will be completely destroyed by the large-scale EMP raid.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ning clenched his fists and looked at the sky in the distance which was gradually getting dark. He didn't know if they would be attacked by the enemy again after nightfall. He turned around and shouted to the team members: "From today on, strengthen the alert of the personnel in shifts, and remind them to be alert!"
The team members responded in unison and dispersed to prepare fortifications.
......
Zhongtian Island Base.
Just after Bai Yang left, Tong Jianguo stared at the big screen in front of him and pressed the button on the remote control in his hand again. His face looked particularly ugly. The dazzling white light made him squint frequently. He watched it over and over again, which made him dazzled and his irritability doubled.
"No wonder Old Man Bai isn't afraid at all. His son is a master."
This was the first time that Tong Jianguo saw a person with superpowers who absorbed lightning as power. He was like a real-life version of Thor. He failed to collect "protection money" from Bai Yang, but was banned instead. How could this not give him a headache?
I thought water-based abilities were the only thing that mattered at sea, and I had no idea there was also a lightning-based version!
That proves that there must be quite a few people with lightning abilities in the Bai family. You have to be careful if you want to get close to them. If you are not careful, you might get electrocuted into charcoal and end up losing more than you gain.
However, Bai Yang is an old businessman and has some room for maneuver. He did not reject the Bai family so bluntly. It is easy to make enemies but it is not necessary. He continued to maintain a good relationship on the surface and asked for a reduction of more than half in protection fees, so that Tong Jianguo had to grit his teeth and agree. He did not dare to touch a hair of the Bai family easily, either openly or secretly. This was the purpose.
"dad!"
The door of the conference room suddenly opened and Tong Yao walked in. Tong Jianguo calmly turned off the video on the screen.
"How many times have I told you, girls, you need to pay attention to etiquette!"
"Oh, ok, Dad."
Tong Yao was startled by Tong Jianguo's angry rebuke, but she reacted quickly, lowered her head and pursed her lips like a child who had done something wrong, without saying a word. Usually, after this trick was used, her father would calm down, but she found that the old man was becoming more and more difficult to coax recently.
"Hurry up, if you have something to say, say it!"
Tong Jianguo said impatiently.
"Dad, I heard that the Bai family was negotiating terms with our Zhongtian Army without knowing what was good for them. Is that true?" Tong Yao asked cautiously.
Tong Jianguo snorted coldly, "The Bai family is not qualified to negotiate with the Zhongtian Army, just lightning power."
Tong Yao's eyes lit up. "A lightning-type mutant? Wow, so powerful, who is he? Could he be the old man Bai's son?"
Tong Jianguo glared at her and said, "What's so great about that? This is really a troublesome matter for us."
Tong Yao stuck out her tongue and stopped asking questions. She had heard before that the old man Bai's son was extremely handsome, but no matter how handsome he was, he could not compare to her Zhang Ning.
"Anything else? If not, get out."
"Oh, I forgot, Dad. The fuel has been loaded onto the ship and will be delivered to the base after dark."
"it is good."
After Tong Yao finished speaking, she closed the door and slipped away.
Tong Jianguo rubbed his temples and started to process the report on the tablet. Currently, the Zhongtian Island Base is operating normally. After the fuel arrives, the storage value will increase to 90%. This is the result of Tong Jianguo's precise layout to take over the S City Refinery. It is also the only thing that makes him feel at ease today.
"Ling Mingzong, when you covet other people's things, you should consider whether you are worthy of them."
At this moment, Tong Jianguo was staring at the hologram of the island where the Beiji Army was located on the tablet, his eyes full of disdain.
