Three hours ago, around 8 o'clock local time, he was happily eating hot pot and singing songs in his tent. This delicacy from the Eastern China was his favorite. Even after arriving here, He will also prepare some ingredients to make a simple hot pot to satisfy his cravings.
However, just when he had rinsed the bottom of the pot and was about to use it, the whole camp suddenly went dark, and naturally the hot pot he had just made could only be temporarily stopped.
The circuit is faulty?
This was John's first reaction at the time.
He often performs tasks outside. This is not the first time he has encountered problems with circuits like this. It has long been a common occurrence.
After all, isn't it normal for a short circuit to occur in a temporarily installed circuit like this?
John immediately put down the tableware in his hand and loudly called William, the engineer in the team, over.
Although William is young, he has more than two missions experience. Power outage problems like this should be easily solved, but what makes him a little depressed is that not only the circuit is faulty, but also the flashlight and night vision device. Devices like this are no longer available.
This discovery immediately made his heart skip a beat, because he was very familiar with this situation, but he could not forget that before entering this island, that large block paralyzed all electronic equipment, and he could only use a sailboat to pass. of sea areas.
However, although he had speculations in his mind, William could not give up directly. He still needed to try. Even if it was dark now and he could only barely see some things, he was the only engineer in the team. If he couldn't do it, who else could do it? Woolen cloth?
After groping his way to the location where the generator was placed in his memory, William checked the nearby equipment one by one by feeling. Because he couldn't see it, he could only slow down and try carefully, which also made the time drag on for a long time. 3 hours passed before I knew it.
"William, is it okay? Why is there no response after so long? Did you discover something?"
Beside, John's voice sounded again. The fact that he could ask this also meant that he was also aware of something, but he was just not sure yet, or that he was not willing to believe it yet.
"Yes, Commander, I think you can also see that this is not an ordinary circuit failure, but the same situation on the periphery of the island. This place has also been shrouded in that chaotic magnetic field..."
"Damn it!"
When John heard this, he slapped the generator beside him hard, and then without saying a word, he returned to his tent based on the location in his memory.
"Damn it! I knew it! The things inside that barrier must be unusual! They must be aliens. They have discovered us, and now they are taking corresponding measures!"
As John spoke, he picked up various items in the tent and tried them one by one, including communicators, phones, watches, flashlights, night vision devices and other items, whether military or civilian, and the final result was But they are all the same, that is, they are all paralyzed.
"Fake!!"
John threw away the mechanical watch in his hand. This watch was given to him by his wife. The watch he bought was from a world-renowned watch brand. It was filled with quiet pure mechanical parts and was also equipped with a set of magnets. The kinetic energy device is completely unusable now.
With the last hope, he took out a military compass, left the tent and went outside, using the faint moonlight to observe the situation above.
Sure enough, the abnormality of the pointer completely confirmed the cruel reality - the magnetic field here has been chaotic.
John stood blankly in front of the tent, his eyes subconsciously scanning the entire camp, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Now, all the equipment has stopped functioning, and the communicator in the tent behind him has been disabled, making him unable to report his situation to the seaside base.
The position 10 meters ahead should be Kando's tent. I wonder what these guys are feeling now and what they are doing?
The two speedboats parked by that damn lake should be useless.
And in the open space to the east of his camp, the helicopters that came to support him couldn't even think about taking off. Maybe they would have to stay here forever, right?
Things suddenly seemed to take a turn for the worst.
John felt that coming here was simply the wrong decision.
Ever since he arrived here, everything seemed to have gone wrong. First he encountered the monster in the lake, and then he lost several team members inexplicably.
Then another helicopter came to support and suddenly hit the damn barrier again.
Now, even his own camp has been destroyed. All the equipment, vehicles, and airplanes cannot be used. Now even wanting to evacuate has become a luxury.
Looking at the shimmering lake not far away, it was originally such a beautiful natural scene, but in John's eyes, it looked extremely weird.
It was as if there were pairs of eyes watching him from behind the lake, wanting to take advantage of the darkness to devour him.
Thinking of this, John couldn't help but shuddered, and a gust of cold wind brought him back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts.
"No! It's very dangerous here now! We must leave immediately! This magnetic field is likely to be the result of the unknown existence in the barrier. This is an attack! They will definitely come to us! We must leave immediately !”
Just as this idea came to him, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from a place not far away, and the sound of the specially modified R479 was very familiar to him.
"It's Jack and them!"
John immediately ran in the direction where the gunshots came from, bumping into each other several times on the road, but he did not dare to stop at all and went straight to the other end of the camp.
"Tom! Is it you! What's going on!?"
Before John arrived, the unique and hoarse roar had already passed through.
"Commander? It's...it's me..."
A black guy in black clothes and trousers stood there and said. If it weren't for his mouth full of white teeth, John would have almost bumped into him.
"What the hell is going on! Why did you suddenly shoot!?"
"Commander, it's okay. It was just a misunderstanding."
A sudden voice made John jump, and he quickly turned to look beside him. It turned out that there was another black guy standing here, also wearing black clothes and black pants. He was Jerry, and he and Tom were two brothers. .
"Jerry? Are you here too? What do you mean by misunderstanding?"
"It's a bird... A bird flew over there just now and dropped a piece of bird droppings on Tom... He thought there was an enemy in the barrier, so he fired."
Jerry explained.
John was stunned for a moment, not expecting this to be the case. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then he immediately stared at the two of them and said angrily:
"Tom, Jerry! You two, when you go out for action in the future, you are prohibited from carrying black clothes inside your personal belongings!"
"???"
The two black boys were very puzzled when they heard this, and couldn't help showing questions on their faces.
