The System Sent Me an Object [End of the World]

The factory building is brightly lit, and there are a few lights outside the door, and two forklifts, trucks and various items parked outside can be seen.

There are four motor units visible to the naked eye in the factory building, but only one is currently in operation, and more than a dozen workers are operating equipment, or checking and repairing engines.

"Is there only one unit operating all day?" Hao Jian asked.

"How is it possible? The power of this unit is [-] watts, which is [-] kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. How many people do you think is enough to live in this huge Xinghua City? Four units are required to operate at the same time during the day, and at night because Everyone needs to rest, so three machines are stopped for maintenance, and only one is running, which can only supply power to some areas."

"Is the only hydropower station still generating electricity?" Hao Jian asked again.

Hu Dan shook his head: "I heard that there are still power plants in some areas that are not within the power transmission range of the Heshui Hydropower Station, but they are not like us. Electricity has to be spent.”

Peng Mao had already finished eating the steamed buns, and he was a little indignant: "This kind of robbery will be punished by the sky sooner or later!"

"You're the only one who will believe this kind of 'receive your own fortune'." Hao Jian hit him mercilessly.

Hu Dan asked back: "Miss Hao, does it mean that no one can deal with them?"

Hao Jian pondered for a moment: "Just like one of the problems that your guards need to solve urgently is the shortage of manpower. The number of guards is too small, and many people have been lost due to various reasons such as zombie virus, rebels, and cult forces. There are many places that you can't take care of, let alone the current chaotic situation. So in this short period of time, your power is limited. At least those who take advantage of the fire will not wait for you to clean up."

Although the authorities quickly issued instructions to deploy rescue work, after all, their primary task is to maintain basic stability and rescue the population.For some illegal and criminal acts, their ability to fight is limited.

Many people and forces will take advantage of this period to create chaos, such as the "No Blame" organization.Only when the internal stability of the violent organization is stabilized, can the government formulate new countermeasures and concentrate its efforts on maintaining stability while seeking recovery and development.

So before that, all order in the world will be chaotic, and violent incidents, vicious incidents, etc. will take turns.

The workers who occupy the power plant and ask for benefits before they use the electricity may be killed by people or organizations more capable than them, because those are all naked interests, and it will attract more people to fight for it It's up to you.

Especially when they find that violent agencies have not punished them, their desires and ambitions will expand to the point of ignoring and trampling the law, turning this zombie apocalypse into a man-made apocalypse.

"Are you too pessimistic?" Peng Mao said.

"Optimism and pessimism depend on how you look at the world. If you look at the overall situation, every city has forces like the Guards that come out to protect us, and there are good people who help each other with kind hearts, and even spontaneously organized to survive. group. It is still hopeful to be saved, and it is developing in a positive direction as a whole.”

"Killing people for food, feeling that there is no law to rape women at will, controlling resources for profit or the desire to gain fame and fortune... All kinds of behaviors can happen in peaceful times, but the last days just turn such events into too much."

Hu Dan applauded: "Miss Hao really deserves to be a student of anthropology. She has a more thorough understanding of these things than most people."

The fact that Hao Jian studied "anthropology" was only mentioned by Lian Runing just now, and Hu Dan said it so naturally, so Hao Jian didn't know whether he said he was careless or on purpose.But after thinking about it, it is more likely to be intentional.

"Many people understand it, and they also know that they have no ability to be the person who controls the fate of others, so they choose to submit. Are the asylum seekers incited at the airport because of ignorance? Not necessarily, quite a few of them have given up the right to choose They will choose to submit to the victorious side, and live in humility."

"We can protect them, but those people will only treat them as ants. But they chose to treat them as ants." Hu Dan grinned, his expression slightly mocking.

"I think it never occurred to them in the first place that the safety line provided by the escort would collapse because of their riots, because the authorities quickly and forcefully organized their protection, making them lose their sense of the immediate danger. The ability to judge. When they realize the mistakes they made, they don’t have the courage to make up for them, and they will eventually surrender to the people who enslaved them.”

Hu Dan's expression turned cold: "Such a person doesn't deserve our protection." Suddenly, he turned his head and said to Hao Jian with a smile, "Although I really want to say this, I can't be sorry for this uniform. You cannot break the oath I have read under the team flag and team emblem."

Peng Mao felt that he was gradually unable to keep up with their thinking and couldn't get in the conversation, so he said, "I'm done digesting, so I'll go back and rest first."

Neither Hao Jian nor Hu Dan cared much about whether he left, because Peng Mao had nothing suspicious so far.

Moreover, the topic they talked about involved the official attitude towards ordinary people who are "innocent" or even abettors. If Peng Mao is abnormal, he will definitely find a way to steal more, instead of going back like he is now.

But as soon as he left, Hao Jian and Hu Dan had more topics to talk about.

"There shouldn't be only these guards here, right?" Hao Jian glanced over the people within sight.

"If you ask that, you're not worried that I think you're here to spy on the situation?" Hu Dan asked back.

"If Chief Hu wants to think so, there is nothing I can do here. But I can't stop asking because you doubt me because of taboo, after all, it's related to my plan."

Hu Dan became interested: "I see that your statements are quite consistent, saying that you are going to Nanfang City. Among them, the female student is looking for relatives, and the fitness trainer is following you to find a way out because he has no relatives. That graduate also thinks you are reliable, and is afraid that a person will be bullied in the last days... What about you? Is there any reason why you should take the risk to the southern city?"

"For my beloved girl, didn't Mr. Hu hear it all?"

"..." Although Hu Dan was as scheming as Hu Dan, he was also choked by her shamelessness.

Also "beloved girl", do you think you are singing a love song?

"Tsk, if you can know that there are surveillance and bugs in the room without checking, no one will believe you if you are not a scout."

"It's actually very simple to know this. After ordinary people are told to remove their suspicions, their vigilance will be greatly reduced. Coupled with the fact that the other party randomly arranges rooms, most people will subconsciously feel that there is no problem with this room. But in reality In fact, although the room is chosen by us freely, it is guided."

When Hao Jian first passed the corridor on the second floor, he found that some sundries were placed at the door of some rooms, or clothes were hanging to dry.After seeing these things, everyone will subconsciously think that there are people living here, so they avoid choosing these rooms.

In addition, the room they lived in was empty, except for a bed, there was only a table and a chair. Anyone would feel that no one lived in it, so they chose this place.

"Since there are only less than two adults left, how can there be so many rooms with people? So since you led us to those rooms, there must be some equipment in them."

Hu Dan couldn't help applauding again: "Ordinary people don't count how many rooms are occupied by people. How wary are you that you can even notice these details?"

"I played too many decryption games, and subconsciously substituted into them." Hao Jian said.

"Games?" Hu Dan grinned, "But this is not a place for games. We have already suffered a loss once, and we can no longer let people think that this place can be easily breached."

Hao Jian pondered for a moment: "Have the guards at the airport retreated here to join you?"

"How much do you know?"

"All I know is from other people's dictation. After all, we only came to Xinghua City today."

"Your companions have told you frankly about this. Then you can tell me why you came to the hydropower station?"

Hao Jian and Hu Dan had already left the factory building, and stood on the aisle just one wall away from the flood discharge section. Behind them were the figures of busy people, and in front of them was the mottled wall.

The lights in the distance elongated their figures, and they leaned on the railing, watching the gurgling water flowing underground.

"Because I want to check some things... I don't want to get involved in the matter of the guards originally, but since I already know the harm of 'No Blame', I can avoid these troubles in the next journey, so I have to understand what dangers are around me."

"Unfortunately, we were targeted by them just after we came here. My ability is limited, and the only way I can think of to escape may be you, so I took the risk to find out the news."

Of course, there is another reason that cannot be disclosed. She wants to come here to see if any hidden missions will be triggered.

Hu Dan asked: "Then why do you think that I will let you get this information? You know, the more you know, the more dangerous it will be to face 'No Blame'."

Hao Jian thought for a while, and asked the question she really wanted to know when she came here: "Is there a traitor in your senior management?"

Hu Dan was silent, he took out the cigarette again, this time he actually lit one.

After puffing and puffing for a while, he finally said: "When I was in the camp, I couldn't smoke. I finally quit. Recently, I was forced to smoke again because of these incidents."

Glancing at Hao Jian, "You should know that under normal circumstances, I can't let someone like you go easily, because once you are exposed, you will not only bring danger to yourself, but also threaten our guards."

Hu Dan's words confirmed that there were indeed traitors in their top management. At the same time, he also made an exception and explained to Hao Jian the current problems in the government, the guards, and even various institutions.

Their escort team suspected that someone had eavesdropped on their action arrangements after the team members who delivered the food lost contact, but they didn't think about it at first. Later, they reported several times that they had detected the "no blame" action but did not convey it. As soon as they went up, they realized that something was wrong.

Originally, the higher-ups ordered them to go to the airport for rescue, but after thinking about it, he contacted the commander of the airport guard without telling his superiors, and made a plan to quickly evacuate to the hydropower station.

It was only after the airport fell that they confirmed that there were indeed traitors in their superiors, and that there had been a shift in power.The fall of the airport may be the result of their fighting each other.

Hao Jian also suddenly figured out why "Wu Jiu" could grow rapidly in a short period of time, presumably someone used it as a tool to seize power and remove obstacles that hindered them.

"They actually brought the idea of ​​'the United States secretly supporting terrorists for the sake of hegemony' here, and they are crazy about power, these people." Hao Jian shook his head, "Have you found out who they are?"

"It's not up to us grassroots to take care of such a complicated matter, but now that we have changed the communication password and encrypted the frequency band, it is no longer so easy to eavesdrop."

How they contacted each other and how to ensure that the traitor would not pass on the news was beyond the scope of Hao Jian's knowledge.

"So besides you and me, no third person can know about this matter. Otherwise, once we appear in the official field of vision, we will be easily exposed to 'no blame'. For us who act alone, there is no Better self-defense, only danger awaits us...do you mean that?"

After Lian Runing heard the information from Hao Jian, she analyzed it calmly.

"Yes."

Lian Runing asked again: "Then why did you tell me?"

We also met halfway, why did Hao Jian trust her so much?She didn't think it was because Hao Jian liked her, so she trusted her for such a simple reason.Besides, she was not sure that Hao Jian liked her.

"I hope you know these things, and I hope you don't. You're the safest when you don't know anything. But we've stepped into this quagmire together, and if the information isn't shared, it's only for you." most dangerous."

Lian Runing sighed. Sure enough, this was the answer that best fit Hao Jian's thinking mode. What was she expecting? !

"Of course, there is another reason. I trust Junior Sister and think that Junior Sister has enough brains to find ways to avoid danger."

Lian Runing pursed her lips, looked at Hao Jian's smiling face, and asked, "What about you? What price will you pay for knowing these things?"
