"Don't want to leave yet?" Du Yifeng saw Jiang Yue standing at the door of the power plant, still a little reluctant to leave.
“Yifeng, it’s easy to restore power. Have you ever thought about it, if there are unknown dangers lurking in this hotel, the first thing to do is to destroy the power.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s not easy to handle.”
It is okay to send people to guard the power plant, but if you really want to destroy it, you don’t necessarily have to come here to destroy it. The lines in many places can be tampered with.
Perhaps, the stupid method of patrolling is relatively feasible.
“If nothing else, let’s move two barrels of diesel up there first. If the line is damaged, it can still be repaired, but if the diesel is spilled, there’s nothing we can do.”
Although Du Yifeng didn't want to do this dirty work, he couldn't stand Jiang Yue's insistence.
Seeing the two carrying diesel upstairs, Brother Nazhi suddenly became a little unhappy.
“You two, this is not within the scope of the previous agreement!”
“Brother Zhi, there is still a lot of diesel under there. We are not moving the diesel for our own use, and there is no power generation equipment available in the B&B area.”
“Then what are you planning?”
“There is an old saying that I must have heard, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
Brother Zhi was startled and thoughtful.
“Brother Zhi, have you ever thought about it? If there are any dangerous factors lurking in the hotel building, power restoration will be the biggest threat to them. If they want to cause damage in turn, what do you think they will attack first?”
diesel fuel!
Diesel is the easiest to get.
And once the diesel is dumped, it can no longer be collected.
Brother Zhi and Brother Hao exchanged glances, and Brother Hao nodded imperceptibly, indicating that this was okay.

“Okay, keep these two barrels of diesel well.”
“Brother Zhi, there is another question. Someone should be assigned to guard the power plant.”
“There must also be patrols along the road.”
Brother Zhi frowned: "Brother, have you passed? There are only a dozen of us in total. With this arrangement, no one can rest tonight."
“Protecting the power supply is not just the responsibility of a dozen of you, everyone in the B&B area should contribute.”
Jiang Yue’s proposal was actually out of justice and had no selfish motives.
However, in the interpretation of Brother Zhi and his group, this may not be the case.
Especially the two leaders, Brother Zhi and Brother Hao, instinctively felt that this was an infiltration of the B&B area and wanted to use this to break into the hotel area.
As they control the hotel area, they cannot accept the fat on their lips being shared with others.
However, if they just reject Jiang Yue, it will appear that they have no structure and are too small-minded.
“This matter concerns more than a dozen brothers in the hotel area. We have to discuss it before making a decision.”
Jiang Yue naturally noticed that they had selfish motives, but he didn't tell them.
Of course, it is normal for the other party to have doubts. After all, there are nearly 70 people in the B&B area, while there are only 16 in the hotel area.
There are so many of them but we are few, so it is normal to worry.
After a while, Brother Zhi and the others came out and gave the answer.
"We allow the B&B District to send six people into the hotel area to guard the power room area in shifts. The B&B District is responsible for all patrol work in all areas outside the hotel. Of course, we are willing to provide food as a reward for those who actively participate in patrols.
"
“Brother, have you ever thought about it?” Brother Hao, who had not spoken much, suddenly said, “Ideals are full, but reality may be very skinny? How many people do you think are willing to participate in patrols in the B&B area?”
“This is simple. As long as one person disagrees, the entire B&B area will be cut off.” Jiang Yue gave the answer.
This is a cruel approach.
Brother Hao couldn't help but look at Jiang Yue with admiration.
All B&B areas are cut off?
Are you so cruel to yourself?
Brother Zhi raised his thumbs: "Okay, I'm happy. To be honest, I admire you a little. Brother, let me tell you that the B&B area is just like that. This is also a five-star hotel. The room facilities are really no worse than B&B villas."
There is also a suite floor. If you want to stay here, you can choose any suite."
It can be seen that Brother Zhi is serious about what he said.
Jiang Yue said in a sincere tone: "Brother Zhi, I can see that you are a cheerful person. Previously, the B&B area clamored to attack the hotel area, but I did not participate. Now if I am asked to move to the hotel area, I will not be able to obey."
“Oh?” Brother Zhi said with a slightly disappointed tone.
"Frankly speaking, I have no intention of taking sides, nor do I want to get involved in disputes between the two sides. In fact, with all due respect, I seriously believe that this kind of artificial opposition should not exist at all. To put it mildly, this is seeking death. Of course, taking the lead
It was indeed some people in the B&B area who instigated the trouble."
Sometimes the truth is really hard to hear.
But Brother Zhi was not angry about it.
“Brother, you are indeed a sensible person. Let’s go and watch the surveillance camera.”
At the same time, he told his companion: "Ah Hao, take two people to the B&B area and inform them. We will provide them with electricity for half an hour. If we cannot reach a decision in half an hour, the power will be cut off."
“Brother Zhi, before looking at the surveillance, I have to check the front desk computer first,” Jiang Yue said.
At the front desk, several computers were intact.
Don’t even think about the Internet.
However, the hotel management system is an internal system and does not need to be connected to the external network.
As long as you open the management software, you can find the information you need.
The professor’s surname is Lu and the assistant’s surname is Zuo. Neither of them are particularly common surnames.
In contrast, it seems that people with the surname Zuo are relatively rare.
On the day of the first change, there was indeed one resident named Zuo, a twenty-eight-year-old woman, whose gender and age were almost the same.
This guest is named Zuo Yongqiu, and he lives in Building 25 in the B&B area.
Jiang Yue was overjoyed, and soon found out that there was indeed another guest in Building 25 in the B&B area that day, named Lu Jinwen, 53 years old.
It’s right again!
Jiang Yue checked the ID information of the two people, checked it, and confirmed that the task list requested Professor Lu and his assistant.
25 buildings?
Every villa in the B&B area is occupied by someone. Now if he comes to the door rashly, the other party will definitely not let him search it.
If there really is any top-secret information, it might have been hidden by the other party.
However, Jiang Yue soon found out that these two people had actually stayed in the B&B area three days before the day of the first change.
In other words, Professor Lu and Assistant Zuo have actually entered the ecological zone?
What kind of investigation are they doing? Or what kind of scientific research activities are they engaged in?
Jiang Yue knew nothing about Professor Lu's identity. He only knew that he was a professor at Star City University. He had no idea what field of research he was engaged in or what subject he was good at.
“If the official can assign tasks specifically to the two of them, the research they are engaged in must be very important.”
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue had an idea and directly deleted the check-in information of Professor Lu and others on the management software.
In this case, anyone else who wants to check Professor Lu’s information will be disappointed.
After doing all this, Jiang Yue left the front desk.
Brother Zhi was waiting for him on the sofa in the hall.
The monitoring room is very large. Many probes are installed in hotels and B&B areas. Except for rooms and some private places, almost no blind spots are monitored.
However, Jiang Yue had already considered how to check it quickly.
Soon, the surveillance for the afternoon of the first change was called out.
Jiang Yue mainly focuses on monitoring areas such as the main road in the B&B area and the entrance of Yunqiong Hotel.
In addition, Jiang Yue paid special attention to a surveillance camera near Building 25.
Monitoring in the afternoon did not reveal anything unusual, and the hotel and B&B areas were operating normally.
The progress is directly extended to the evening, to an hour before the first change begins.
It was already evening and it was not dark yet.
Residents in the B&B area come to the restaurants in the hotel area to dine.
Some people have already finished their meal and are wandering around in twos and threes, enjoying the scenery around the hotel.
From the leisurely pace of people, it can be seen that people did not react much to the coming first changes, even though Star City officials had already issued a notice at that time.
It can be seen that not many people take it seriously. At least those people who appeared in the surveillance did not over-interpret the official notice.
Perhaps those who are eligible to enjoy high-end resort hotels believe in insider information obtained through their own channels more than official information.
This is a social norm. The more elite people are, the more they disdain official announcements. They believe more in their own energy, their own information channels, and feel that what they have is the truth.
It even develops into pathological thinking. The more the official refutes rumors, the more they believe it; the more the official emphasizes something, the more they doubt it.
“There don’t seem to be many people?” Brother Zhi suddenly said from the side.
Although the day of the first change was that day, before that, the entire society had actually accepted the arrival of the strange era.
In that case, there will naturally be fewer people going out for fun, which is not surprising.
Jiang Yue has been paying attention to the movements of the 25 B&Bs.
To his disappointment, Building 25 never saw the figure he expected.
Soon, Jiang Yue discovered that the humans in the surveillance system were belatedly aware of the situation, but some of the plants that appeared in the surveillance system were obviously starting to act abnormally.
Just like what Jiang Yue discovered that day in his hometown of Panshiling.
The plant becomes visibly excited.
This is the change of the earth's magnetic field and the change of gravity.
The initial change has slowly shifted from invisibility to manifestation.
Subsequently, the monitor began to shake.
This is the beginning of the earthquake.
While under surveillance, panicked people kept running out of the building.
B&B area, hotel area, guests, staff,…
Every open area covered by surveillance is full of people.
Jiang Yue also saw the building where he and Du Yifeng lived. A family of three, wearing pajamas, hugged each other in fear in the courtyard of the B&B.
It’s a pity that among the 25 B&Bs, no one has ever escaped from the B&B area.
This time, Jiang Yue can basically confirm that Professor Lu and Assistant Zuo may not have returned at all that day.
This made Jiang Yue doubtful again.
Where did they go?
Did the investigation delay the return and simply camped out? Or did some unexpected factors occur and made it impossible to return?
The earthquake continued, and the people under surveillance obviously lost their earlier calmness, and most people became panicky.
Although the surveillance camera has no sound, it can be seen from their body language and expressions that almost everyone was frightened by this sudden disaster.
Especially after the huge full moon appeared, people looked into the sky and became more and more frightened.
When the starry sky vortex appeared, the light beams from the ground continued to shoot into the endless starry sky, and the fear of the people in the surveillance room also reached a limit.
Jiang Yue could feel their fear and uneasiness through the surveillance camera.
Although this is a monitoring archive from several days ago.
Jiang Yue clearly remembered that the earthquake lasted for a long time and the aftershocks almost never stopped.
When the vortex in the starry sky disappeared, people's panic gradually eased.
The shaking sensation also began to slow down, and the shaking feeling of the surveillance probe was not so strong.
at this time--
All the people in the surveillance room seemed to have received some kind of signal at the same time.
Although monitoring is not intuitively displayed.
But Jiang Yue felt miraculously that everyone seemed to have been cast under a spell at the same time.
Jiang Yue could even feel that their eyes became chaotic and lifeless at that moment, and then...
Everyone swayed and started to gather in the same direction.
Slowly walking towards the dark direction with an extremely weird stride.
It was as if there was some magical power calling them in the distant night.
Everyone has lost himself and his soul in an instant, and has become a puppet of some magical power, a walking zombie without conscious control.
Walking, with a dull expression...
Human emotions seemed to be completely drained away at that moment.
“Fall back!”
Jiang Yue called to Brother Zhi and rewind this section.
I poured it over a dozen times. At that weird moment, it was as if magic really happened in this hotel and B&B area.
Everyone was hit at the same time.
There are no signs, and the source can hardly be found during monitoring.
All I could see was a group of people slowly walking toward the end of the darkness with staggering steps, plunging into the unknown and weirdness.
Snapped!
Monitoring is disconnected.
Jiang Yue knew that there was a power outage that night and the monitoring stopped working.
Even Brother Zhi was a little uneasy this time. Although he kept holding it, Jiang Yue could feel the panic spreading in his heart.
"What...what the hell is going on? So, is this the reason why there is no one in this ghost place? Where have these people gone? Did they encounter ghosts? Or were they possessed?"
Monitoring did not give an answer.
The time shown before the monitoring was disconnected was one forty-five...will we be like them tonight?" Brother Zhi murmured, not sure whether he was asking Jiang Yue or talking to himself.
Jiang Yue didn't answer. He kept replaying the surveillance in his mind, replaying the strange changes at that moment.
From the monitoring, it is actually impossible to clearly capture the obvious changes at that moment.
But Jiang Yue was able to sense the existence of that moment strangely through the surveillance.
This is a very strange perception.
“Go back one more time.”
Jiang Yue suddenly raised his brows and called out to Brother Zhi.
The monitor was rewinded again, four or five times in a row.
“Did you see it? Are their noses twitching? Look carefully, are everyone’s noses smelling something?”
Although the surveillance is relatively clear, it is a distant view after all, and it is not easy to see facial expressions, let alone the movement of the nose.
However, Jiang Yue quickly found several relatively clear angles and found favorable evidence.
In the picture, you can indeed see that their noses are moving.
The feeling is very subtle, like dogs looking for food.
