After binding the grocery store system, I handed it in [Doomsday]
Chapter 48, Praying Mantis
◎"One died, and the other three were given medicine, and their lives were saved."◎
As one of the first-tier cities in Gray Country, city b has a huge population base, with a resident population of over ten million. Three buildings were also built in the city b safety zone, located in the east, west and north of the city.
Xu Zhisheng drove to the safe area in the west of the city.The safety zone covers a very large area, half of the buildings are underground and half are on the ground.The above ground buildings are rows of neatly arranged five-storey buildings, surrounded by high walls and grids.After the safety zone was activated, it was taken over by the military, and there were patrol teams every day for strict control.
After the safe area is full, the military conveniently starts to clean the streets of surrounding communities centering on the safe area to extend the safe area.
After entering the safety zone, Xu Zhicheng drove the car to the downstairs of Building A.After getting out of the car, the group went directly to a room on the right on the first floor.
Inside the house, Lin Jia and Zhong Mao saw them coming back, stood up and greeted them.
"Captain." Zhong Maoren stood tall and burly behind Lin Jia, and shouted towards Gu Ting.
Lin Jia glanced at the few people and saw that their faces were relaxed. Obviously, they did not encounter any difficulties in this mission, and he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's eat," she said.
The room is a little small, and the layout is very simple. Two iron frame beds are placed facing each other against the wall, and there is a small long table and four stools in the middle.There is a stack of boxed lunches on the table, which are uniformly distributed in the safe area, with two meat and three vegetarian dishes, and the dishes are not bad.
After dinner, Wang Xiaochuan talked about the mission.
When Lin Jia heard him say that the power grid was not destroyed by evolutionary species but man-made, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind, and his long-standing memory was turned over.At the beginning, there was also a large-scale power outage across the country, and it took half a month to repair the power grid, and this matter also came to an end.
But at that time, the news circulating was that the power grid was destroyed by evolutionary species, and the power grid could not be repaired until the military wiped out the evolutionary species.
Why is it different this time?Lin Jia frowned, lost in thought.
"Are you sure it's artificial?" Wang Xiaochuan interrupted and asked hesitantly.
Wang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously went to look at Gu Ting, then turned his head and nodded: "Well, that staff member saw it with his own eyes."
Lin Jia's eyes were a little complicated, he hesitated again and again, and finally he didn't say anything.After all, she had heard about the power outage back then, and she was not clear about the details. If something was involved in it, it would be hard to say that she had taken the evolutionary species as the leader. She said this was not to add to the trouble.
On the other hand, Gu Ting noticed the hesitation in her eyes, and said, "The man has been handed over to the police station of City B. There is also monitoring outside the power grid main point. If you hurry up, you can find the person who damaged the power grid."
Wang Xiaochuan followed suit and nodded: "Speaking of which, we also encountered a black cat evolution in the forest over there, and it had three kittens."
"Cat?" Lin Jia asked.
Lin Jia doesn't have many memories of City B, but she has a deep impression.
Hearing him mention the cat evolution, Lin Jia remembered the last scene he saw back then: an animal evolution with golden fur.
She rarely recalled the last memory back then.And after receiving the task, they came to City B together, and Lin Jia was a little dazed when he saw the decayed city everywhere after the great evolution.
While Wang Xiaochuan was talking, he saw Lin Jia start to lose his mind in a trance, and his speech slowed down. He didn't know what he said wrong, which made her like this.After finishing speaking, he hesitated whether to call her or not, and an arm stretched out beside him, hooking his neck and pulling him back.
"?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Xiaochuan leaned back, saw Xu Zhicheng behind him, and was about to raise his hand to take his arm away, but he covered his mouth.Zheng Jue, who was on the side, also stepped forward to help, supporting his legs, completely lifted him from the stool, and led him outside.
The two of them moved lightly, not waking up Lin Jia who was still in a trance.But Gu Ting sat on the side and looked at the end from beginning to end. Seeing Wang Xiaochuan's eyes calling for help, Gu Ting frowned and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything. He just watched Xu Zhicheng and Zheng Jue lift Wang Xiaochuan up. go out.
Then the others looked at each other, stood up knowingly, and walked away lightly.
All of a sudden, only Gu Ting and Lin Jia were left in the room.
In the corridor outside the door.
Xu Zhicheng and Zheng Jue carried the person away, and then let go of Wang Xiaochuan.
As soon as Wang Xiaochuan was able to move freely, he immediately elbowed Xu Zhisheng who was behind him, but was helplessly dodged by the opponent.He rubbed his uncomfortable face after being muffled vigorously, staring at Xu Zhicheng and Zheng Jue, a little anxiously: "What are you two doing?!"
Xu Zhicheng looked at him with a smile on his face, "We're full to digest."
Zheng Jue didn't talk to him, he stood next to Chen Huan, and glanced at the room.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Liu Feng stood up as a peacemaker and changed the subject: "Is there something wrong with the power grid?"
He said to Xu Zhisheng.Seeing Lin Jia's reaction just now, Liu Feng felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, she wondered if she had become suspicious.
Xu Zhicheng still had the same smiling face, with a faint smile on his face, which was unpredictable.He shook his head lightly and said, "Just ask Lao Gu later."
He knew that since Lin Jia could say that, it showed that the matter of the power grid was a bit tortuous.As for what's going on inside, let Gu Ting ask.
inside the house.
Lin Jia came back to her senses in a daze, and when she took a closer look, she found that except for Gu Ting, everyone else in the room was gone.She looked around, looked outside the door, and looked at Gu Ting suspiciously.
Gu Ting didn't move, was silent for a second, and asked, "Do you think the power grid is not man-made?"
Lin Jia paused, and said hesitantly, "I don't know. I didn't care too much at the beginning. I just heard that the power was out for half a month, and the military was dispatched to wipe out the evolutionary species before it was repaired."
Hearing this, Gu Ting fell into deep thought.After a while, he looked back at Lin Jia and said in a steady tone, "No matter what it is, the situation is different now."
Just like what Lin Jia remembered, when he was suddenly radiated by a meteorite and entered a major evolution, the national order was paralyzed, and the first evolutionary person did not appear until one month after the evolution broke out.But now it is completely different, there are already [-] million evolved people in Gray Country at this time, the social order has not been paralyzed, and everything is developing in a good direction.
Lin Jia nodded, but didn't mention the golden-haired evolutionary species.
In the afternoon of the same day, news came from the b city police station.
Some of the surveillance cameras outside the main point of the power grid were broken, but the person described by the staff was captured on the surveillance cameras on another street.After identification, it was determined that the person captured by the surveillance was the person who climbed over the wall and entered the main point of the power grid that day.
And soon the police station confirmed the identity of the person and arrested him. After the person was arrested, he actually confessed what he had done on his own initiative.So the police station quickly arrested him and brought him to justice, and his superiors will punish him for destroying the power grid.
That's how it seemed to end.
It was so fast that there was no chance of a reaction, and Lin Jia learned that they were going back to City A the next day.
The Dragon Group has always been very busy, busy running around to solve some troubles, and replenish the inventory of Lin Jia's grocery store by the way.This trip to city b did not catch a single evolutionary species, and the power grid has been repaired, so there is no need for them to stay any longer.
It's just that I originally planned to take a helicopter that night, but unfortunately, a group of bird evolutions appeared in the sky above City B. It was dangerous to fly away by the helicopter, so the time to leave was postponed until tomorrow morning.
The night was dark, and city B, which had just been powered on, did not have a bustling night scene. The streets were empty, and the street lights on both sides flickered as if they were in poor contact, and some of them were not on at all.The high-rise buildings were not lit up as usual, and there were a few residential buildings in the community that were still lit, but there were only three or two kittens.
The corridor lights of the surface buildings in the safe area are on. To prevent the lights from being too bright to attract some phototaxis evolutionary species, they are not very bright.
After Lin Jia finished washing, she came out of the narrow bathroom. She wiped her hair with a towel, and with a pair of black slippers on her feet, she slapped to the side of the bed. She was about to sit down when suddenly her eyes went dark and she fell into complete darkness.
After a pause in wiping, Lin Jia turned her head to look outside, walked quickly to the door and opened it. It was dark outside, only the faint moonlight was left covering the ground like a hazy layer of tulle.
"What's the situation?! Trip or power outage?!" Wang Xiaochuan's bluffing voice came from the next door.
Lin Jia turned her head sideways, and saw Wang Xiaochuan and Xu Zhicheng walking out from the next door by the moonlight.
She pulled off the towel covering her head, brushed her wet hair a few times, and said, "It's a power outage."
It was only then that the people next door noticed Lin Jia and turned their heads to look at her.
After a while, Wang Xiaochuan murmured, "Could it be that the power grid is broken again?"
At this time, Gu Ting's characteristic deep voice sounded, "Clean it up, let's go take a look."
The few people who came out immediately rushed back into the room. Lin Jia held a half-wet towel, looked at Gu Ting and said, "I'll go too."
Gu Ting didn't make a sound, just stood in the corridor, watching her quietly.Just when Lin Jia thought that the other party would not agree, Gu Ting agreed with a "hmm".
Lin Jia twitched her lips, turned around and went back to clean up in the house.
Ten minutes later, Jia Lingjia, an outside member of the dragon group, left the safe zone and headed for the main point of the power grid in the suburbs.
A military off-road vehicle could not accommodate so many people, so they borrowed another one from the safe zone.Xu Zhisheng opened the way in front with a military off-road vehicle, followed by another off-road vehicle driven by Zhong Mao.
The road at night is more difficult than during the day. They have to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and they drove for almost half an hour before successfully reaching the main point of the power grid.
"What's the situation? Where's the person?" Zheng Jue got out of the car first, and immediately frowned when he saw that there was no one standing guard at the main gate of the power grid.
At this time, other people also got out of the car.
The layout of the main power grid is a bit like a school. The gate is usually locked, and there is a small gate next to it, guarded by guards.
There is no one on the guard post now, and it is pitch-black inside, very quiet.
"Go in first." Gu Ting said in a deep voice.
No one at the post was there, so something must have happened inside.The power grid was repaired during the day, and the power went out again at night.The person who damaged the power grid has been arrested and is still in the police station.
Zheng Jue nodded, and went to open the door, who knew that just as his hand touched the small door, it opened with a creak.
"Captain." He called out.
Gu Ting: "Go straight in."
"Yes." Several people entered through the small door one after another.
Gu Ting and the others had been to the General Office of the Power Grid during the day, and they still remembered the route to the General Office of the Power Grid. However, Lin Jia and Zhong Mao had never been here before, so they were caught in the middle and followed them all the way to the main gate.
There was silence all around the road, only the sound of the wind and their actions.
When approaching the main gate, Lin Jia smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, and she immediately reached out and grabbed Gu Ting's arm.
"Did you smell it?" she asked.
Gu Ting said softly, "Yes."
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger as they approached, and without her reminding, everyone else could smell it too.The movements under his feet became more and more contemptuous, and Xu Zhicheng led the way. He raised his hand and gestured to them a few times.Then the other people who followed behind quietly dispersed and surrounded the main gate.
Lin Jia was pulled by Gu Ting and followed beside him, holding the pistol he gave him in his hand and the long knife on his back.
As it got closer, there was a rustling sound, accompanied by some painful groans.
Several people looked at each other, led by Zheng Jue and Wang Xiaochuan, surrounded by the left and right sides.
"Captain! It's an evolutionary species!" Wang Xiaochuan and Zheng Jue shouted in unison, and then they both fired.
The others followed quickly, and went around the back to the main gate, and saw three or four people lying on the open space in front of the main gate, and an evolutionary praying mantis was lying on a person's body and eating his flesh. Face.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jia frowned slightly, his face became colder, and he raised his hand to aim and shoot.
This evolutionary praying mantis was two meters tall, with two huge eyes on its head emitting a dark red light, and two thick and sharp forearms, shining with a metallic luster.
Facing the dense rain of bullets, the evolutionary mantis was finally willing to get away from the face of the person under it, and the wings on its back opened in a swish, and it flew up in a high-speed vibration.Facing the attack without any fear, the bullet hit the forearm like hitting hard iron, bang bang unscathed.
This was more difficult than they had imagined, and it was the first time that the Dragon Group encountered thermal weapons that could not cause damage to the evolved species.
"Attack elsewhere!"
Zheng Jue's voice immediately brought them back to their senses, and he stopped worrying about why the forearm of this evolutionary species could not be harmed, and began to attack other parts of it.
"Go and save people!" Gu Ting took the opportunity to say to Lin Jia.
Then a few people led the praying mantis evolution away from the main gate.
Lin Jia put away her pistol and ran quickly to the people lying on the ground. She knelt down and touched their necks.There were four people lying on the ground, one of them was bitten by the mantis evolution and died.The other three also had more air and less air, and two of them lost their arms and legs. The fractures were very smooth and neat, and it seemed that they were cut off with a single knife.
She looked around and found no severed limbs.
The most important thing now is to stop the bleeding for them first. Lin Jia bought a medical kit from a grocery store, took out the healing potion and filled half of each of them, and then took out the trauma spray and sprayed the wound a few times to treat the two people well. The injury, she turned to another person to deal with.
At this time, the battle of the dragon group came to an end.
The forearm of the mantis evolution is not easy to attack, but other places are not as invulnerable as the forearm.Even for follow-up processing, they carefully avoided destroying the whole, and picked a place to attack.
In a few minutes, the evolved praying mantis fell down with hatred.
"How is it?" Gu Ting walked over. He still carried the fierceness and gunpowder smell from the battle just now, and his voice was lower than usual.
Lin Jia turned her head to avoid it, and made room to say, "One died, and the other three were given medicine, and their lives were saved."
Only then did Gu Ting see the appearance of the dead man clearly. He was wearing the uniform of the staff of the General Administration of Power Grids, with a deep cut on his neck. There was a lot of blood under his body, but it was blocked, and the dark blue uniform was also stained. With blood, he was dizzy into big balls of dark color, his face was bloody and bloody, and he couldn't see the original face clearly.
Lin Jia stood up to look at the situation of the main gate: "This time the damage is very complete, I guess we have to replace all of them and install a new one."
Hearing her words, Gu Ting's eyes moved away from the face of the man on the ground, and then fell on the main gate.
It was indeed completely destroyed, the head of the main gate was cut into several pieces, and the broken pieces could not be put together again.The wires at the back were also cut off a lot, and half of them fell to the ground, exposing the copper wires of different thicknesses wrapped around the hose.
Lin Jia stopped looking at the wires on the ground for a moment, then turned and ran towards the dead mantis evolution not far away.
"What's wrong?" Chen Huan found her, "How are you? Can the main gate be repaired?"
Lin Jia nodded indiscriminately, her attention was all on the forearm of this evolutionary praying mantis at the moment.
The forearm, which was almost one meter long, stretched and lay on the ground. There were uneven lines on the surface, but the blade was very smooth and sharp. At the front was a barb-like sawtooth hook.
It's just that Lin Jia checked repeatedly and found no burn marks from electric shock, which is obviously abnormal.
Gu Ting, who was following up, apparently also noticed it, and he said to Lin Jia: "No hurry, wait for those three people to wake up and ask about the situation."
After the investigation was fruitless, Lin Jia could only give up, and then added this evolutionary species of praying mantis to the shelf.
The other people didn't know why, they looked at each other in dismay.In the end, the straightforward Wang Xiaochuan asked directly.
"The head of the main gate was completely destroyed, broken into several pieces. But the head is only half the size of a brick. How did the mantis evolution stare at the head and destroy it? The wire behind the head was cut off in half , if the brake is not closed, the voltage will be enough to electrocute it." Lin Jia said coldly.
Wang Xiaochuan scratched his face, and said suspiciously: "It's impossible for the mantis to be man-made? But the man was not caught—"
There was no smile on Xu Zhicheng's face, his expression was a little gloomy, "Well, he was arrested, but if there is any inside story here, we have to ask the witnesses."
No one spoke on the road. They first carried the three injured people into the car, and then went back to the General Administration of Power Grid to check it again. There were no other living people inside.
A few minutes later, two off-road vehicles left the General Administration of Power Grid one after the other.
After sending the person to the medical room in the safe area, Gu Ting went to contact the b city police station.After explaining the situation one by one, I got a reply that I would interrogate the two people again.
After the power outage, the police station guessed that something might have happened to the General Administration of Power Grids, and immediately sent people there.It's just that the police station is a little far away from the General Power Grid Administration. When they arrived, Gu Ting and the others had already left.
After contacting the police station, Gu Ting glanced at the three people in the medical room, and said to Lin Jia, "Go back first, come back tomorrow."
In the event of an emergency, the idea of leaving city b tomorrow will not work. They must stay and deal with the damage to the power grid.
Gu Ting also wanted to go back and report to City A.
Lin Jia nodded, and followed Gu Ting back to Building A.
Early the next morning, Lin Jia packed up and went out.
The neighbors are also up, and many people in the safe area are discussing last night's blackout.
After breakfast, Gu Ting received a message from the police station.At the beginning, the staff member who identified the damage to the power grid was taken back to the police station, but in the face of their questioning, the other party insisted on the original testimony and responded with no knowledge of last night's power outage.
And news came from the medical room in the safe area that the three people rescued yesterday were awake.

As one of the first-tier cities in Gray Country, city b has a huge population base, with a resident population of over ten million. Three buildings were also built in the city b safety zone, located in the east, west and north of the city.
Xu Zhisheng drove to the safe area in the west of the city.The safety zone covers a very large area, half of the buildings are underground and half are on the ground.The above ground buildings are rows of neatly arranged five-storey buildings, surrounded by high walls and grids.After the safety zone was activated, it was taken over by the military, and there were patrol teams every day for strict control.
After the safe area is full, the military conveniently starts to clean the streets of surrounding communities centering on the safe area to extend the safe area.
After entering the safety zone, Xu Zhicheng drove the car to the downstairs of Building A.After getting out of the car, the group went directly to a room on the right on the first floor.
Inside the house, Lin Jia and Zhong Mao saw them coming back, stood up and greeted them.
"Captain." Zhong Maoren stood tall and burly behind Lin Jia, and shouted towards Gu Ting.
Lin Jia glanced at the few people and saw that their faces were relaxed. Obviously, they did not encounter any difficulties in this mission, and he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's eat," she said.
The room is a little small, and the layout is very simple. Two iron frame beds are placed facing each other against the wall, and there is a small long table and four stools in the middle.There is a stack of boxed lunches on the table, which are uniformly distributed in the safe area, with two meat and three vegetarian dishes, and the dishes are not bad.
After dinner, Wang Xiaochuan talked about the mission.
When Lin Jia heard him say that the power grid was not destroyed by evolutionary species but man-made, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind, and his long-standing memory was turned over.At the beginning, there was also a large-scale power outage across the country, and it took half a month to repair the power grid, and this matter also came to an end.
But at that time, the news circulating was that the power grid was destroyed by evolutionary species, and the power grid could not be repaired until the military wiped out the evolutionary species.
Why is it different this time?Lin Jia frowned, lost in thought.
"Are you sure it's artificial?" Wang Xiaochuan interrupted and asked hesitantly.
Wang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously went to look at Gu Ting, then turned his head and nodded: "Well, that staff member saw it with his own eyes."

On the other hand, Gu Ting noticed the hesitation in her eyes, and said, "The man has been handed over to the police station of City B. There is also monitoring outside the power grid main point. If you hurry up, you can find the person who damaged the power grid."
Wang Xiaochuan followed suit and nodded: "Speaking of which, we also encountered a black cat evolution in the forest over there, and it had three kittens."
"Cat?" Lin Jia asked.
Lin Jia doesn't have many memories of City B, but she has a deep impression.
Hearing him mention the cat evolution, Lin Jia remembered the last scene he saw back then: an animal evolution with golden fur.
She rarely recalled the last memory back then.And after receiving the task, they came to City B together, and Lin Jia was a little dazed when he saw the decayed city everywhere after the great evolution.
While Wang Xiaochuan was talking, he saw Lin Jia start to lose his mind in a trance, and his speech slowed down. He didn't know what he said wrong, which made her like this.After finishing speaking, he hesitated whether to call her or not, and an arm stretched out beside him, hooking his neck and pulling him back.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Xiaochuan leaned back, saw Xu Zhicheng behind him, and was about to raise his hand to take his arm away, but he covered his mouth.Zheng Jue, who was on the side, also stepped forward to help, supporting his legs, completely lifted him from the stool, and led him outside.
The two of them moved lightly, not waking up Lin Jia who was still in a trance.But Gu Ting sat on the side and looked at the end from beginning to end. Seeing Wang Xiaochuan's eyes calling for help, Gu Ting frowned and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything. He just watched Xu Zhicheng and Zheng Jue lift Wang Xiaochuan up. go out.
Then the others looked at each other, stood up knowingly, and walked away lightly.
All of a sudden, only Gu Ting and Lin Jia were left in the room.
In the corridor outside the door.
Xu Zhicheng and Zheng Jue carried the person away, and then let go of Wang Xiaochuan.
As soon as Wang Xiaochuan was able to move freely, he immediately elbowed Xu Zhisheng who was behind him, but was helplessly dodged by the opponent.He rubbed his uncomfortable face after being muffled vigorously, staring at Xu Zhicheng and Zheng Jue, a little anxiously: "What are you two doing?!"
Xu Zhicheng looked at him with a smile on his face, "We're full to digest."
Zheng Jue didn't talk to him, he stood next to Chen Huan, and glanced at the room.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Liu Feng stood up as a peacemaker and changed the subject: "Is there something wrong with the power grid?"
He said to Xu Zhisheng.Seeing Lin Jia's reaction just now, Liu Feng felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, she wondered if she had become suspicious.
Xu Zhicheng still had the same smiling face, with a faint smile on his face, which was unpredictable.He shook his head lightly and said, "Just ask Lao Gu later."
He knew that since Lin Jia could say that, it showed that the matter of the power grid was a bit tortuous.As for what's going on inside, let Gu Ting ask.
inside the house.
Lin Jia came back to her senses in a daze, and when she took a closer look, she found that except for Gu Ting, everyone else in the room was gone.She looked around, looked outside the door, and looked at Gu Ting suspiciously.
Gu Ting didn't move, was silent for a second, and asked, "Do you think the power grid is not man-made?"
Lin Jia paused, and said hesitantly, "I don't know. I didn't care too much at the beginning. I just heard that the power was out for half a month, and the military was dispatched to wipe out the evolutionary species before it was repaired."
Hearing this, Gu Ting fell into deep thought.After a while, he looked back at Lin Jia and said in a steady tone, "No matter what it is, the situation is different now."
Just like what Lin Jia remembered, when he was suddenly radiated by a meteorite and entered a major evolution, the national order was paralyzed, and the first evolutionary person did not appear until one month after the evolution broke out.But now it is completely different, there are already [-] million evolved people in Gray Country at this time, the social order has not been paralyzed, and everything is developing in a good direction.
Lin Jia nodded, but didn't mention the golden-haired evolutionary species.
In the afternoon of the same day, news came from the b city police station.
Some of the surveillance cameras outside the main point of the power grid were broken, but the person described by the staff was captured on the surveillance cameras on another street.After identification, it was determined that the person captured by the surveillance was the person who climbed over the wall and entered the main point of the power grid that day.
And soon the police station confirmed the identity of the person and arrested him. After the person was arrested, he actually confessed what he had done on his own initiative.So the police station quickly arrested him and brought him to justice, and his superiors will punish him for destroying the power grid.
That's how it seemed to end.
It was so fast that there was no chance of a reaction, and Lin Jia learned that they were going back to City A the next day.
The Dragon Group has always been very busy, busy running around to solve some troubles, and replenish the inventory of Lin Jia's grocery store by the way.This trip to city b did not catch a single evolutionary species, and the power grid has been repaired, so there is no need for them to stay any longer.
It's just that I originally planned to take a helicopter that night, but unfortunately, a group of bird evolutions appeared in the sky above City B. It was dangerous to fly away by the helicopter, so the time to leave was postponed until tomorrow morning.
The night was dark, and city B, which had just been powered on, did not have a bustling night scene. The streets were empty, and the street lights on both sides flickered as if they were in poor contact, and some of them were not on at all.The high-rise buildings were not lit up as usual, and there were a few residential buildings in the community that were still lit, but there were only three or two kittens.
The corridor lights of the surface buildings in the safe area are on. To prevent the lights from being too bright to attract some phototaxis evolutionary species, they are not very bright.
After Lin Jia finished washing, she came out of the narrow bathroom. She wiped her hair with a towel, and with a pair of black slippers on her feet, she slapped to the side of the bed. She was about to sit down when suddenly her eyes went dark and she fell into complete darkness.
After a pause in wiping, Lin Jia turned her head to look outside, walked quickly to the door and opened it. It was dark outside, only the faint moonlight was left covering the ground like a hazy layer of tulle.
"What's the situation?! Trip or power outage?!" Wang Xiaochuan's bluffing voice came from the next door.
Lin Jia turned her head sideways, and saw Wang Xiaochuan and Xu Zhicheng walking out from the next door by the moonlight.
She pulled off the towel covering her head, brushed her wet hair a few times, and said, "It's a power outage."
It was only then that the people next door noticed Lin Jia and turned their heads to look at her.
After a while, Wang Xiaochuan murmured, "Could it be that the power grid is broken again?"
At this time, Gu Ting's characteristic deep voice sounded, "Clean it up, let's go take a look."
The few people who came out immediately rushed back into the room. Lin Jia held a half-wet towel, looked at Gu Ting and said, "I'll go too."
Gu Ting didn't make a sound, just stood in the corridor, watching her quietly.Just when Lin Jia thought that the other party would not agree, Gu Ting agreed with a "hmm".
Lin Jia twitched her lips, turned around and went back to clean up in the house.
Ten minutes later, Jia Lingjia, an outside member of the dragon group, left the safe zone and headed for the main point of the power grid in the suburbs.
A military off-road vehicle could not accommodate so many people, so they borrowed another one from the safe zone.Xu Zhisheng opened the way in front with a military off-road vehicle, followed by another off-road vehicle driven by Zhong Mao.
The road at night is more difficult than during the day. They have to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and they drove for almost half an hour before successfully reaching the main point of the power grid.
"What's the situation? Where's the person?" Zheng Jue got out of the car first, and immediately frowned when he saw that there was no one standing guard at the main gate of the power grid.
At this time, other people also got out of the car.
The layout of the main power grid is a bit like a school. The gate is usually locked, and there is a small gate next to it, guarded by guards.
There is no one on the guard post now, and it is pitch-black inside, very quiet.
"Go in first." Gu Ting said in a deep voice.
No one at the post was there, so something must have happened inside.The power grid was repaired during the day, and the power went out again at night.The person who damaged the power grid has been arrested and is still in the police station.
Zheng Jue nodded, and went to open the door, who knew that just as his hand touched the small door, it opened with a creak.
"Captain." He called out.
Gu Ting: "Go straight in."
"Yes." Several people entered through the small door one after another.
Gu Ting and the others had been to the General Office of the Power Grid during the day, and they still remembered the route to the General Office of the Power Grid. However, Lin Jia and Zhong Mao had never been here before, so they were caught in the middle and followed them all the way to the main gate.
There was silence all around the road, only the sound of the wind and their actions.
When approaching the main gate, Lin Jia smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, and she immediately reached out and grabbed Gu Ting's arm.
"Did you smell it?" she asked.
Gu Ting said softly, "Yes."
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger as they approached, and without her reminding, everyone else could smell it too.The movements under his feet became more and more contemptuous, and Xu Zhicheng led the way. He raised his hand and gestured to them a few times.Then the other people who followed behind quietly dispersed and surrounded the main gate.
Lin Jia was pulled by Gu Ting and followed beside him, holding the pistol he gave him in his hand and the long knife on his back.
As it got closer, there was a rustling sound, accompanied by some painful groans.
Several people looked at each other, led by Zheng Jue and Wang Xiaochuan, surrounded by the left and right sides.
"Captain! It's an evolutionary species!" Wang Xiaochuan and Zheng Jue shouted in unison, and then they both fired.
The others followed quickly, and went around the back to the main gate, and saw three or four people lying on the open space in front of the main gate, and an evolutionary praying mantis was lying on a person's body and eating his flesh. Face.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jia frowned slightly, his face became colder, and he raised his hand to aim and shoot.
This evolutionary praying mantis was two meters tall, with two huge eyes on its head emitting a dark red light, and two thick and sharp forearms, shining with a metallic luster.
Facing the dense rain of bullets, the evolutionary mantis was finally willing to get away from the face of the person under it, and the wings on its back opened in a swish, and it flew up in a high-speed vibration.Facing the attack without any fear, the bullet hit the forearm like hitting hard iron, bang bang unscathed.
This was more difficult than they had imagined, and it was the first time that the Dragon Group encountered thermal weapons that could not cause damage to the evolved species.
"Attack elsewhere!"
Zheng Jue's voice immediately brought them back to their senses, and he stopped worrying about why the forearm of this evolutionary species could not be harmed, and began to attack other parts of it.
"Go and save people!" Gu Ting took the opportunity to say to Lin Jia.
Then a few people led the praying mantis evolution away from the main gate.
Lin Jia put away her pistol and ran quickly to the people lying on the ground. She knelt down and touched their necks.There were four people lying on the ground, one of them was bitten by the mantis evolution and died.The other three also had more air and less air, and two of them lost their arms and legs. The fractures were very smooth and neat, and it seemed that they were cut off with a single knife.
She looked around and found no severed limbs.
The most important thing now is to stop the bleeding for them first. Lin Jia bought a medical kit from a grocery store, took out the healing potion and filled half of each of them, and then took out the trauma spray and sprayed the wound a few times to treat the two people well. The injury, she turned to another person to deal with.
At this time, the battle of the dragon group came to an end.
The forearm of the mantis evolution is not easy to attack, but other places are not as invulnerable as the forearm.Even for follow-up processing, they carefully avoided destroying the whole, and picked a place to attack.
In a few minutes, the evolved praying mantis fell down with hatred.
"How is it?" Gu Ting walked over. He still carried the fierceness and gunpowder smell from the battle just now, and his voice was lower than usual.
Lin Jia turned her head to avoid it, and made room to say, "One died, and the other three were given medicine, and their lives were saved."
Only then did Gu Ting see the appearance of the dead man clearly. He was wearing the uniform of the staff of the General Administration of Power Grids, with a deep cut on his neck. There was a lot of blood under his body, but it was blocked, and the dark blue uniform was also stained. With blood, he was dizzy into big balls of dark color, his face was bloody and bloody, and he couldn't see the original face clearly.
Lin Jia stood up to look at the situation of the main gate: "This time the damage is very complete, I guess we have to replace all of them and install a new one."
Hearing her words, Gu Ting's eyes moved away from the face of the man on the ground, and then fell on the main gate.
It was indeed completely destroyed, the head of the main gate was cut into several pieces, and the broken pieces could not be put together again.The wires at the back were also cut off a lot, and half of them fell to the ground, exposing the copper wires of different thicknesses wrapped around the hose.
Lin Jia stopped looking at the wires on the ground for a moment, then turned and ran towards the dead mantis evolution not far away.
"What's wrong?" Chen Huan found her, "How are you? Can the main gate be repaired?"
Lin Jia nodded indiscriminately, her attention was all on the forearm of this evolutionary praying mantis at the moment.
The forearm, which was almost one meter long, stretched and lay on the ground. There were uneven lines on the surface, but the blade was very smooth and sharp. At the front was a barb-like sawtooth hook.
It's just that Lin Jia checked repeatedly and found no burn marks from electric shock, which is obviously abnormal.
Gu Ting, who was following up, apparently also noticed it, and he said to Lin Jia: "No hurry, wait for those three people to wake up and ask about the situation."
After the investigation was fruitless, Lin Jia could only give up, and then added this evolutionary species of praying mantis to the shelf.
The other people didn't know why, they looked at each other in dismay.In the end, the straightforward Wang Xiaochuan asked directly.
"The head of the main gate was completely destroyed, broken into several pieces. But the head is only half the size of a brick. How did the mantis evolution stare at the head and destroy it? The wire behind the head was cut off in half , if the brake is not closed, the voltage will be enough to electrocute it." Lin Jia said coldly.
Wang Xiaochuan scratched his face, and said suspiciously: "It's impossible for the mantis to be man-made? But the man was not caught—"
There was no smile on Xu Zhicheng's face, his expression was a little gloomy, "Well, he was arrested, but if there is any inside story here, we have to ask the witnesses."
No one spoke on the road. They first carried the three injured people into the car, and then went back to the General Administration of Power Grid to check it again. There were no other living people inside.
A few minutes later, two off-road vehicles left the General Administration of Power Grid one after the other.
After sending the person to the medical room in the safe area, Gu Ting went to contact the b city police station.After explaining the situation one by one, I got a reply that I would interrogate the two people again.
After the power outage, the police station guessed that something might have happened to the General Administration of Power Grids, and immediately sent people there.It's just that the police station is a little far away from the General Power Grid Administration. When they arrived, Gu Ting and the others had already left.
After contacting the police station, Gu Ting glanced at the three people in the medical room, and said to Lin Jia, "Go back first, come back tomorrow."
In the event of an emergency, the idea of leaving city b tomorrow will not work. They must stay and deal with the damage to the power grid.
Gu Ting also wanted to go back and report to City A.
Lin Jia nodded, and followed Gu Ting back to Building A.
Early the next morning, Lin Jia packed up and went out.
The neighbors are also up, and many people in the safe area are discussing last night's blackout.
After breakfast, Gu Ting received a message from the police station.At the beginning, the staff member who identified the damage to the power grid was taken back to the police station, but in the face of their questioning, the other party insisted on the original testimony and responded with no knowledge of last night's power outage.
And news came from the medical room in the safe area that the three people rescued yesterday were awake.
