Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 60 Midnight Horror
Zhong Cheng quickly woke up Zhang Jiaxing and Zhao Wei who were already sound asleep, and told about the abnormal situation he found.

Zhang Jiaxing took it seriously and thought that the guards should be notified immediately.

What surprised them was that they couldn't make calls on their mobile phones!

Zhao Wei guessed that there was a strong source of interference nearby, and someone blocked the communication signal of this construction site.

Since this is a construction site, there is no landline telephone installed, which means that all communications on the construction site are now interrupted.

The three of them unanimously decided that something big happened!

Zhong Cheng looked at Zhao Wei's thin body, and asked him to go to the regiment headquarters of the guard regiment to find someone, and to inform the command center leader that he and Zhang Jiaxing went to the mountain to see the situation first.

The two quickly came to the north entrance of the power battery shed area, and found the guard platoon leader Liu Zhongwei on duty.

After hearing the introduction, Lieutenant Liu immediately ordered the four soldiers on the sentry post to go to the mountain with him to check, and ordered a soldier to tell the soldiers at the south entrance to come and watch the north entrance, and to wake up all the people resting in the shed.

Lieutenant Liu told Zhong Cheng and Zhong Cheng to go back to the work shed to wait for the news, saying that the two of them were engaged in technology so there was no need to go.

But both Zhong Cheng and Zhang Jiaxing strongly demanded to act together, they were really worried that nothing could happen at this juncture.

"The first rank of officials crushes people to death", both Zhong Cheng and Zhang Jiaxing have higher military ranks than Lieutenant Liu, and he couldn't hold them back, so he had to agree.

Lieutenant Liu gave Zhang Jiaxing a Type 95 semi-automatic rifle. There were no more submachine guns left, so he had to give Zhong Cheng a Type 92 pistol.

Among the crowd, Zhang Jiaxing was a major with the highest military rank, but because he was a technical officer, everyone decided that Lieutenant Liu would command the operation.

Zhong Cheng asked: "Lieutenant Liu, why don't we fire warning shots now? That way we can notify the regiment headquarters of the guards."

Before Lieutenant Liu could answer, Zhang Jiaxing said first, "The situation is unknown now, and it's late at night. There are thousands of people sleeping on the construction site. If you shoot rashly, it will cause commotion and the impact will be too great. Let's find out the situation first. Besides, I hope it was a false alarm!"

Zhong Cheng felt that it was impossible to be a false alarm, but it was also possible that it was just a few people who caused sabotage. The six of them went up with submachine guns, so there should be no problem.

Lieutenant Liu led the way, and the six people quickly left the shed area and turned into the path up the mountain beside the road leading to the power battery factory area.

The small road was pitch black, fortunately Lieutenant Liu and the others were very familiar with the mountain roads in this area, otherwise Zhong Cheng and Zhang Jiaxing would not have been able to walk at all.

After only a few minutes of walking on the quiet path, Lieutenant Liu realized that something was wrong. He whispered to Zhang Jiaxing and Zhong Cheng that there would be soldiers patrolling the mountain every tens of meters, and it would not be so long without seeing a single person.

But he was also very puzzled, the patrolling soldiers were all in groups of seven, who could get rid of them silently.

Zhang Jiaxing said to look further ahead, and if it was still the case, he would fire a warning shot.

Everyone was advancing silently on the dark mountain road. Zhong Cheng looked at the brightly lit power battery factory in the valley below the mountain and felt like walking in another world. This is a dark world full of unknown dangers.

Suddenly, the team stopped, and Zhong Cheng, who was at the end, almost ran into the soldiers in front.

Zhong Cheng also squatted down with everyone. This is a pine forest, and there are many rocks in the forest, like ghosts in the dark.

He gripped the handle of the pistol nervously, looked around, but found nothing.

After a long while, Lieutenant Liu, who was at the front, made a gesture to move forward, and everyone stood up and continued to move forward.

Just when everyone walked into a clearing in the forest, a shocking change happened!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

There was a muffled sound of breaking through the surrounding pine forest.

"Puff puff!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of dull hard objects piercing into the flesh from the team, and the screams just started and then stopped.

The forest fell into silence for an instant, but the strong smell of blood reminded Zhong Cheng that they were ambushed.

Zhong Cheng was lying on the ground behind a big rock in horror, trembling all over, and the fear made him almost unable to breathe.

As a good young man living in a peaceful age, he never thought that death would be so close to him.

"Who attacked us, and with what weapon?"

"Is everyone else dead?"

"I'm going to die soon, too?"

Zhong Cheng felt the fragility of life, and the group of people who were still alive just now fell into the darkness lifelessly.

If he dies!
His dream, his pursuit, everything has come to nothing!
How did the parents bear such a big blow when they knew the news of his death?
Would anyone else be saddened by his death?
Just when Zhong Cheng was lying helplessly on the ground and thinking wildly, he suddenly noticed a corpse not far from him moving.

He tried his best to distinguish it with his eyes wide open, it seemed to be Zhang Jiaxing, so he was not dead yet.

When he was thinking of telling Zhang Jiaxing to hide by his side, he found that Zhang Jiaxing suddenly raised the 95-type automatic rifle and fired at the woods.

"Da da da!"

The sound of automatic rifle fire was so loud in the silent woods that it broke the tranquility of the mountains.

And the tongue of flame from the muzzle of the automatic rifle was so bright in the dark woods that Zhong Cheng could clearly see the resolute expression on Zhang Jiaxing's face.

"Zhang Jiaxing, you are crazy, you will be exposed like this, and you will become their target!"

Zhong Cheng shouted to Zhang Jiaxing in shock.

Zhang Jiaxing looked back, with a gratified smile on his face, "Zhong Cheng, it's great that you're still alive. You can't die, you must live to make the power battery project a success!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of piercing through the forest sounded again, and Zhong Cheng realized with his eyes that it turned out to be arm-length crossbow arrows, and this batch of crossbow arrows had penetrated Zhang Jiaxing's body.

Footsteps sounded in the forest. It seemed that the ambushers were going to attack clearly after the gunshots sounded.

Watching Zhang Jiaxing die tragically in front of him as a warning, Zhong Cheng's heart was bursting with various emotions.

Sadness, touch, self-blame, but the most is anger!
We can't let Zhang Jiaxing die in vain like this, he must pay in blood.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng forgot his fear.

At this moment, several flares were fired from the bottom of the mountain, and the flares rose into the sky. The night turned into day, and the darkness in the woods was swallowed up at once.

Zhong Cheng jumped out from behind the boulder, raised his gun and shot.

In the clearing in the forest, there were three masked men in black, holding a crossbow in one hand and covering their eyes with the other, they were dazzled by the sudden light in the woods.

Zhong Cheng's shooting training at the underground training ground of "Tianwaitian" was not in vain. He moved quickly and fired three shots in a row. The three masked men in black fell to the ground instantly.

When he was about to see Zhang Jiaxing, a dangerous signal came from his tense nervous system, he rolled on the spot, and three crossbow arrows flew over him.

There are still people in the woods!
He crawled back behind the boulder, panting heavily, nervously distinguishing the direction of the crossbow arrows.

Fighting against them, his always rational brain made an irrational decision.

Just when Zhong Cheng was about to attack again.

"Tattoo!"

The sound of a helicopter sounded in the distance, and three Zhi-11 armed helicopters flew over the woods and circled, their searchlights strafing the woods.

A Zhi-8 helicopter landed in a clearing in the woods, and a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms jumped out of the helicopter and quickly occupied a favorable position.

Zhong Cheng's tense body relaxed and he was safe.

He hurriedly ran out from behind the big rock, took a few steps forward, checked Zhang Jiaxing's situation, and found that he had already died, shattering his last hope.

Lieutenant Liu and other five soldiers have also died. They all had arrows in their throats, such vicious arrows!

Zhong Cheng sat powerlessly next to Zhang Jiaxing's body, and closed his eyes wide open for Zhang Jiaxing. He exchanged his own life for Zhong Cheng's survival.

A few minutes later, Zhao Wei rushed to the woods with the commander of the guard regiment, Zheng Yilun, Chen Qiang, Liu Yuzhu and others.
