Chapter 406 Destroyed signal towers and substations

"parking!"

Rossi heard Jack's voice coming from the earphones and subconsciously stepped on the brakes. The already slow Raptor came to a steady stop. The next moment,

"PIU! PIU!"

The silencer of the Barrett MK22 is great. Even in the quiet of the night, the gunfire is still inaudible.

No one in the car had night vision goggles, and the two assault rifles were equipped with red dot sights. In this pitch-black night, only the night vision goggles on the Jack gun could see the situation in the distance.

"Go straight ahead, 200 meters to the road on the right." Jack whispered.

The raptor continued to move forward slowly. Under the illumination of the flashlight, a toppled signal tower fell on the roadside. It seemed that the reason why the town had no mobile phone signal was found.

A dilapidated yellow trailer was parked not far from the fallen signal tower. The corpses of two ogres fell on the left and right beside the vehicle. The parts above the neck had disappeared.

.

The 338 Lapu Magnum bullet may not be as powerful as the 12.7 mm caliber heavy machine gun bullet, but it is obviously enough to deal with this mutant ogre.

"It looks like the monsters here are a lot smarter than their cousins ​​in New Mexico."

Jack's tone was relaxed, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart. Although there were no signs of these ogres using firearms yet, since they knew how to destroy signal towers, they would not use them as fire sticks after obtaining firearms.

Repairing the signal tower in a short time seems to be a no-brainer. Even with the almighty Dr. Red, it is an impossible task with just the few repair tools on his car.

Jack's gaze extended far away along the high-voltage lines erected along the road, and finally landed on a building surrounded by barbed wire next to the town.

"Let's go to the substation and have a look."

The power outage in the town must be related to the substation. If it can be restored, or a wired phone is found inside, even if the seals cannot be summoned, having police support from surrounding areas will be better than a small team of them fighting alone.

Everyone had the same idea. Although they were very confident in Jack's combat power, rushing into the center of the town so rashly was not a smart choice.

On the map in Red's hand, Meihu Town is just a dot and a place name. It is still unknown what the layout of the town is and whether there are any ogre moles among the residents in the town.

The raptor stopped at the door of the wire mesh fence of the substation, and a cut chain fell to the ground. Sure enough, an uninvited guest came here.

Jack left Barrett with the night vision device with Hotchner and asked him to stay on guard with Rosie and Emily. He took Jiejie and Red in to check the situation.

The substation occupies a small area. It is a two-story cement building with the logo of an unknown power company. Jack took the lead and entered through the door that was violently damaged. The stench left by the ogres in the corridor seemed to have not dissipated. go.

What is a little gratifying is that there seems to be a separate emergency power supply here. The yellow warning lights on the wall are flashing, and a whining alarm sound comes from somewhere.

Across the corridor is a guard room. There is no one inside, and the surveillance screen is still on. There is a telephone, a walkie-talkie, and a half-opened deck of playing cards on the table.

Although no blood was seen, it didn't take much to know that the guards originally on duty here were probably in trouble.

Red sat in front of the computer and started looking at the surveillance video. Jack tried the phone first, but as expected there was no beep. Then he picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and turned the channel knob to try to listen to nearby communications.

Jiejie was not idle either. She opened the drawers of the guard's desk one by one, trying to find useful things among the messy items inside.

"Here's a map!" She let out a low cry of surprise, and a greasy and wrinkled local tourist map appeared in her hand. This thing seemed to have been used to package some kind of food.

"Zila. Zila Junior, I'm Angela, please ask a question! Mike, Kevin, can anyone hear it?" A panicked female voice suddenly came from the intercom.

"Oh! For the sake of God! Someone answer me!" The female voice on the intercom sounded like she was crying, feeling like she was on the verge of emotional collapse.

"Who are you?" Jack pressed the call button.

"Oh my God, finally. I am Sheriff Carter of the May Lake Police Department. I need you to call the CSP (Colorado State Patrol) in Root and ask them to dispatch all police forces to May Lake Town immediately. It is urgent!"

"Sorry, we can't do it for the time being. We are trapped in this ghost place. I also found that the signal tower in your town has been damaged. No one can send the message out for the time being."

Jack paused, as if saying this would make people too desperate, "Tell me your location, Madam Sheriff, we have some weapons and can come to support you. Can you tell me the general situation there first?"

"A group of mountain men are besieging the town of Meihu. They are killing people wantonly in the town. Most of the people have gone to the lake today. I am the only one at the police station. Uh, there are a few young people who have taken refuge. No matter who you are, please hurry up. Come help us!"

"So, you are guarding the police station now?" Feeling that the other party was incoherent, Jack simply did not reveal his identity and just asked key questions.

"Yes, yes, there is a power outage here. You can't see anything outside. We only have a few candles for lighting. Who are you? How many people are there? How long will it take to get there?"

I don’t know if it was Jack’s calm voice that calmed down the female sheriff a little, and she finally remembered to ask about his identity.

"It doesn't matter who we are, we'll find out when we meet. Please stay calm, Sheriff Carter!"

Jack will not reveal his identity and location before he is sure of the other party's identity. Who knows if this is a trap.

"I only have a tourist map of Meihu Town in my hand now. Please tell me where the commanding heights near the police station are and what is the approximate number of those mountain people?"

“I don’t know how many, but two young men were attacked on the way to the police station, and my husband, and I watched them being dragged away, and I fired, but I couldn’t hit them!

They seem to be cannibals! Their screams are everywhere outside, please come and help me. "

Feeling that the other person's emotions were about to collapse again, Jack quickly raised a finger to Jie Jie, who was on the side and wanted to comfort her, to signal her not to speak.

According to the original plot, no one in the police station could survive. Each one behaved more stupidly than the last, and they were killed by several ogres with hot weapons.

To save people, you have to pay attention to methods. The person with him now is not a SEAL armed to the teeth.

Although the BAU team members have all undergone certain weapons training, even Red is no longer as helpless as he once was.

But in horror movies, anyone who is not the protagonist may receive a box lunch. In some movies, the protagonist may be the one who dies the most miserably in the end.

Before being certain of the other party's true situation, the less information on one's own side is known to the other party, the better.

"Tell me, where is the high ground near the police station? If you can't stay calm, it will only cause trouble for our rescue plan, Sheriff Carter!"

Jack repeated his previous question.

"It's the clock tower. It's southeast of the police station, a street away. You can overlook the whole town from it. Please hurry up, my husband, my husband."

"Hold your gun, we'll be there soon. Stay with your people, don't go out, and definitely don't separate."

Jack turned off the intercom. Rhett had already watched the surveillance video in the substation and was writing and drawing on the tourist map that Jiejie found.

"This is the police station. It's almost in the center of the town, at the junction of the crossroads. In the lower right corner is the clock tower. You can't see the height on the map. If you go by what the police chief said, you can overlook the entire town. The height is It should be more than 20 meters."

Rhett swallowed as he spoke, "Those monsters broke into the substation and destroyed it almost half an hour ago. I want to take a look inside. The equipment here is not so easy to be completely destroyed. It should be possible to repair it."
