The entire Flower City suddenly fell into darkness. Although the Special Defense Department immediately restored the power supply, the power bureau was unable to do anything. The equipment was interfered with and could not be restarted. Only one backup line was still available, but that was the last time the player A line added after the incident could only supply lighting for public facilities.
Only then did Team Leader Wu and others realize that there was an abnormality outside. Normally it would have been dawn at this time. The prolonged darkness and the sudden malfunction of the equipment meant that Huacheng had once again fallen into the power of the game, and the scope had expanded to the entire city. .
At the same time, members of the Special Defense Department distributed in various locations reported the news. At the moment of the power outage, a large number of people in the city disappeared out of thin air, including ordinary soldiers and civilians, special personnel and players, and all entrances and exits of the Flower City were also blocked by darkness. Cars, helicopters, and drones cannot get out, and they cannot communicate with the outside world.
"I've been really unlucky for eight fucking lifetimes!" Team Leader Liao said angrily: "Did the foggy area come back yesterday?"
Team Leader Wu suddenly lost most of his command over the Special Defense Department and walked out anxiously, "Go find Professor Lan!"
"Wait a minute, it's best not to wander around at this time!" Team leader Song stopped him while calling Dai Wenqian, but no one answered the call.
During this gap, several people had already walked out of the conference room one after another. The corridor was dark. All the staff of the Special Defense Department who were walking outside just now disappeared, and the huge hospital became completely silent.
Team Leader Song shouted twice inside, but there was no response.
"I can't get through the phone either." Team leader Liao held the phone.
There was a weak light outside, but it couldn't shine into the hospital. Team leader Wu turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked quickly to the warehouse.
Song, Liao and several members of the Special Defense Department followed. The group rushed to the warehouse, but the warehouse was empty. Not to mention people, even the cart that had been placed there was gone.
"Did they leave after the power outage?" Team Leader Song asked.
Team Leader Wu's observation was quite keen, "Absolutely not. This warehouse is the same as when Xu Huo was first sent in. The hospital beds and some medical equipment are missing."
"You mean they also disappeared out of thin air?" Team Leader Liao's eyes were filled with despair.
"Calm down, calm down," Team Leader Wu comforted himself and others, "This situation may be similar to the previous fog area. The game space overlaps with Area 04. The disappearance of people does not mean they are dead. They It is also possible that they were brought into the game space like before. Regardless of whether it is a copy or not, it is a good thing that players disappear with them, and they still have a chance to come out."
"What we have to do now is protect the hospital and search for survivors."
"Team leader!" Sima Xiaoer's voice came from the corner. He walked over with several other players who were hospitalized. "What happened? Many people disappeared when the power went out. I was in several nearby wards. Find these people."
"The situation is unclear now. Protect the hospital first, and we will talk about other things later." Team leader Wu said.
Team Leader Song is already contacting people who can get through the phone and asking the Special Defense Department personnel to return to the vicinity of the hospital.
"I'm worried that other players will take the opportunity to come in and rob people, although Xu Huo is also missing..." Team leader Liao said.
"Make two false targets to attract the target. Anyone who dares to break into the hospital at this time does not need to be polite to them." Team Leader Song made a quick decision.
Communication was not completely interrupted, so the Special Defense Department acted fairly quickly, but as soon as they withdrew from the evacuated crowd, it was impossible for the players not to notice.
Some of the players who had retreated into the agreed-upon ring zone disappeared out of thin air. The remaining people immediately realized that there must be something wrong at the hospital.
In the group established by core members, some players mentioned that they found someone in the evacuation area after the power outage broke away from the crowd and went to the hospital.
"People from the Special Defense Department and the Iron Triangle are returning to the defense hospital. Once the two sides start fighting, the hospital is the most dangerous place." In a building in the ring area, a man wearing a hoodie and a black mask spoke with a The white telescope observed the situation around the hospital, "No one came out, Xu Huo is still inside."
"I called Iron Triangle several times and he ignored us. It was clear that he was targeting Xu Huo." Behind him, a woman also wearing a hoodie and a mask said, "Those people were still arrested half a month ago. The Special Defense Department chased them around like dogs, but today they brought more than ten players. I’m afraid their motives are not pure, and Xu Huo cannot fall into their hands!"
Another man dressed similarly came over. There were inconspicuous scars on the areas not covered by his mask. "What should we do next? Are we going to rescue people? If we do, our agreement with the Special Defense Department will be invalidated."
"Don't worry about the Special Defense Department, our target is Xu Huo." The man in the black hood put away the props and said to the person who reached out: "Remember, Xu Huo's life is given priority at all times."
After saying that, he jumped out of the window first. After him, more than 20 players jumped off the building one after another and headed straight towards the hospital.
In a hidden building not far from them, Dai Wenqian looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "Just like making dumplings, these rabble are quite capable."
As he spoke, he threw away his constantly vibrating cell phone, and reincarnated himself and said to Zheng Ke and the other eight people: "Follow up and help, and then find a way to create opportunities for the people in the Audio-Technica."
"But the forces behind the Iron Triangle are not clear. It would not be good to let them take Xu Huo away." Zheng Kedao.
"They are not here to arrest people, they are here to kill." Dai Wenqian said: "Do as I say. It depends on whether you can gather the hooded group here."
Zheng Ke nodded, put on his mask and was about to leave, but his eyes suddenly stopped somewhere outside the window and said in surprise: "Xu Huo!"
Dai Wenqian turned around, only to see a silhouette flashing past the tree. It looked like Xu Huo.
"Wang Ya, the four of you go as planned. Zheng Ke and others follow me."
Two groups of people walked out of the building, one going to the hospital and the other chasing Xu Huo. After the silence was restored, Zhou Ning and the others walked out of the corridor.
"Didn't Dai Wenqian join the Special Defense Department? Why are he here?" Shen Xin asked strangely.
"I read their lips," Liu Jiadao said: "He wanted to create an opportunity for the person who killed Xu Huo. It seemed that he wanted to provoke a conflict between the Special Defense Department and the players, playing both sides."
After hearing this, Shen Xin said: "I have been in the capital city for a while before. Dai Wenqian is good at buying people's hearts. When he transferred from the player organization to the special defense department, he stole many people away. I guess he wants to repeat the same trick this time."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go help quickly." Hu Wenhu said: "Yuan Yao said that Brother Xu is unconscious at the moment, why don't you let these bastards slaughter you?"
Zhou Ning, who had been silent all this time, cast her eyes on the shadow in the corner, and suddenly shouted: "Who is it! Come out!"
The other three people immediately got into fighting stances and stared closely at the figure coming out of the shadows. Liu Jia was the first to see it clearly. She said in surprise: "Xu Huo!"
Hu Wenhu quickly lit up the screen of his mobile phone, and it turned out to be Xu Huo.
Xu Huo looked around at the group of people, "How did you get together?"
"Liu Jia and I are friends. Yuan Yao asked someone for help, and I found out that you two knew each other." Shen Xin explained: "I said before that I would go to Guyu, but I withdrew because I felt it was inappropriate."
Xu Huo nodded. Shen Xin was a player he met in Decibel Town. The last time he met Gu Yu in Beijing, Gu Yu briefly mentioned her departure from the player organization.
"Shouldn't you be in the hospital?" Zhou Ning asked strangely.
