Under the snowy white light of the searchlight, the oasis was very different from the past, and there was an atmosphere of tension everywhere. Except for some necessary work groups who still had to return to their posts, more people still shared a flashlight in twos and threes.
In the night when the beam of light patrols, look for traces of the traitor.
Although seven hours had passed since the discovery of the fallen species, Lin Sanjiu and the others were still not found.
In the cafeteria, lobby, water room...everywhere with loudspeakers, you can hear the uninterrupted broadcast.
What came out at this time was a trembling female voice: "...I, as the life officer, after I noticed something was wrong, I followed quietly... But, I didn't expect that a few of them would be so crazy!
He actually joined forces with the fallen species and brought them into the oasis to kill their compatriots..."
It was the sound of light rain.
After she finished speaking as an eyewitness, the majestic and emotionless male voice spoke again: "If Xiaoyu hadn't reported the news to everyone today, more than two hundred and ten lives might have left us. Three women, we will
The lives of 1,800 people are nothing but trivial matters! Can we keep such traitors alive?"
Even though they knew that the loudspeaker could not hear their response, many arms were still raised and they shouted passionately: "No!"
"Sentence them to death!"
"Revenge for our compatriots!"
Wave after wave of irrational anger spread throughout the oasis.
"Catch the traitor!" A shout was mixed in the crowd of the power management team. It quickly blended into the sound wave and became an indistinguishable part. After Hu Chang finished shouting this sentence, he lowered his arm and looked around with a guilty conscience.
took a look.
Fortunately, no one seems to be paying attention to him. Although his ability cannot distinguish the authenticity of radio and television, but even so, he does not think that Lin Sanjiu will really collude with the fallen species to kill people. However, these words are absolutely revealing.
He didn't even dare to say a word, because he was in an extremely fanatical group——
"Today's work is almost over here!" The team leader of the power supply team suddenly shouted loudly and waved his hand: "Next, everyone digs into the ground to find those women!
"
"No problem -" the team members responded excitedly. Then the team leader moved out a box. It was full of flashlights and batteries. The team members went up to get the flashlights in order, and it was Hu Chang's turn.
, but the team leader covered the box.
"I remember...you had a very good relationship with that woman wearing the bandage?" He squinted at Hu Changzai.
Hu Chang brushed the ground behind his back a few times. His clothes were almost pierced by the hostility projected towards him.
"I, I was deceived too..." He had never told a lie in his life, and his face turned red: "I didn't know, I was very angry..."
The team leader glanced at him, probably because of Hu Changzai's usual image of an honest person, he still didn't pursue the matter further. However, he pushed the box and raised his chin in the direction of the dormitory building: "I won't do anything today.
You're gone, you go and rest!"
Hu Changzai resisted the urge to retort, and turned around silently to leave. At this time, a man with a middle parted hair next to him suddenly took a step forward: "Team leader, let him look for the traitor with me? It's also a good look.
Let’s see if he is really loyal to Oasis.”
Hu Changzai paused for a moment, but before he could open his mouth to speak, the team leader's voice sounded behind him: "Okay. That's it! Li Shi, then I'll leave him to you, keep a good watch on him!"
Looking at Li Shi, who was walking towards him with the corner of his mouth raised, Hu Changzai looked very unhappy - I couldn't believe that he was still working with him in consultation just a day ago...
Of course, the flashlight was in Li Shi's hand. Hu Changzai could only follow him silently like a criminal who had served his crime well.
After walking for a while, I didn't see even a trace of the traitor except for the frenzied search team like them.
"That's weird, where did they hide it?" Li Shi cursed a little impatiently. "Those women are hiding well... They can't run away, they must still be here.
.”
All possible places of entry and exit in the oasis are guarded by five cadres and their men. As long as these five cadres are there, even those women driving mechas cannot escape - this is the consensus of almost everyone in the oasis.
.And the cadres, including Chen Jinfeng, are indeed worthy of this impression. Each one of them has terrifyingly high combat capabilities.
Hu Changzai thought worriedly for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea. He glanced at Li Shi: "Someone has already looked for these places, there must be nothing there."
Li Shi suddenly became interested: "Huh? By the way... you know them. Then can you tell me where they might be hiding?"
"Follow me." Hu Changzai smiled at him and walked in front to lead him. Li Shi hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
There are several blind spots within the scope of the search team's operations.
This was what Hu Changzai suddenly realized when he walked out of the power pack door.
First of all, it is the building where the cadres live. This building has the most comprehensive insulation measures. It has seven floors. One cadre lives on the second to sixth floors. The seventh floor is Professor Bai’s office area.
.Now that the cadres have gone out, will this building become the safest place?
Hu Changzai, who had this idea in mind, hit a snag before he could get closer - because one of the cadres, the tall and burly Hai Tianqing - was patrolling near this building with a few people.
A search team formed spontaneously by people could not even get close.
Then, next are the locations of several important working groups.
Since the operation of the oasis is inseparable from these working groups every day, even today, the team members are still working - just like Hu Changzai and Li Shi just now. However, because of this, the search team instead
These brightly lit and crowded places were ignored.
In the few hours when the backup power supply unit was working, no search team came to disturb it at all.
And the water well management team happens to be an indispensable place...
Hu Changzai, who didn't know why he suddenly felt anxious, took Li Shi and approached the working place of the water well team.
Unexpectedly, it was pitch dark in the Shuijing Group, and there was no one there.
The electric lights were all black, and the usual work utensils were put away and neatly stacked aside. The well was wrapped in heavy insulation measures and stood silently in the darkness. The two of them did not speak for a while, only raising their hands.
I looked around with a flashlight.
I looked everywhere I could hide a person, but there was nothing.
Hu Changzai reached out and touched a bucket. There was still the last bit of wetness at the bottom of the bucket, which meant that the water well team did not come today. Instead, they ended their work early like them.
"There's no one, let's go!" Li Shi muttered unhappily.
It seemed that Xiaojiu was indeed not here - Hu Changzai could not suppress the disappointment in his heart and sighed secretly in his heart. He dragged his steps to follow.
Just two steps outside, a soft "click" sound suddenly came from behind.
If the broadcast in the loudspeaker hadn't stopped for a while, the two of them would not have heard the soft sound - Li Shi turned around, and the beam of the flashlight was projected on the ground not far away.
In the darkness, only the orange aperture could see anything. The aperture was constantly trembling slightly due to the owner's nervousness.
The cover of the well suddenly moved and fell to the ground.
A pale hand rested on the edge of the well. Then another one dragged a body and slowly crawled out of the well.
Her long, low-hanging black hair completely covered her face, and her white clothes were soaked by the water. A trail of water was left where she crawled.
Even though he realized that this might be a traitor, this vivid image of Sadako still made Li Shi's heart beat suddenly and his face turned pale - just when his scream was about to burst out of his throat, the back of his head
Suddenly there was pain and my body fell to the ground.
Hu Changzai held up the iron bucket and gasped for a few breaths. He had used too much force just now. Blood was gurgling from the back of Li Shi's head. But when he touched it with his hand, his breathing was still very stable.
Sadako in front of her was stunned, and pushed her hair back with one hand, revealing Fang Dan's face: "Thank you!"
Hu Changzai almost fell to the ground - he looked at Fang Dan and smiled bitterly: "How could you do this? Where are Xiaojiu and the others? The whole oasis is looking for you now!"
Fang Dan wiped the water on his face, turned around and shouted into the well: "Come up! Hu Changzai is here too."
Soon, two more wet Sadako crawled out of the well, one of whom had red hair.
Facing the soaked women, especially the soaked Lin Sanjiu, Hu Changzai wished he could dig out his eyes and put them in his trouser pockets - he lowered his head and did not dare to look, and listened to Fang Dan's explanation with a blushing face:
"...These two idiots thought they could just hide on the outdoor unit. The temperature is so high, if they squat for a day, they will definitely suffer from heatstroke...Thanks to me, if I didn't know there was a hiding place down there, they would have been killed long ago.
found it."
The other two women stared at her, and Mather finally couldn't hold it back: "Actually, what happened today is all because of you..."
Fang Dan remained unmoved, his expression unchanged at all.
Lin Sanjiu turned around with a headache: "We all heard the broadcast in the well. Although we still don't know the whole story, I am 100% sure now that the fallen species are raised in the oasis. People are not allowed to come out during the day just to prevent them from letting go.
They were discovered...and now Oasis plans to kill us and silence us."
Hu Changzai was startled - of course he knew whether this was true or not - he was so shocked that he whispered: "This must be announced!"
"How to announce it? As soon as you stand up, you will be caught immediately. Besides, we don't know the reason why Oasis did this, who will believe us..." Fang Dan said a little depressed.
Lin Sanjiu paused and suddenly said softly: "There is a way. There is a broadcast in Professor Bai's office that faces the entire oasis. We can just borrow that. Maybe the reason for raising the fallen species can also be found there."
Everyone fell silent.
"This is basically asking for death." After a long while, Fang Dan murmured.
"Although the risk of escaping is smaller..." Lin Sanjiu said, suddenly hitting the ground and saying viciously, "But! If I am forced to run away like this, won't I die of pain when I think about it in the future?
If I don't say this and turn this hellish place upside down, how can I be willing to leave!"
Several people looked at each other, and Mather was the first to nod and said: "I agree. Besides, Chen Jinfeng and I still have personal grudges to avenge—"
"Well...it seems a little bit unwilling to be told this by Xiaojiu...and it's quite fun." Fang Dan continued.
Hu Changzai didn't even say a word. He stood up and whispered: "Then I'll help you too. There is a cadre nearby in the building where Professor Bai is. His name is Hai Tianqing, listen carefully..."
Several people knew that there was no need to delay, and while discussing softly, they carefully walked out of the well group.
A few minutes later, when their figures disappeared into the darkness, a person suddenly climbed up from the ground.
Li Shi covered his wound with one hand and stumbled out of the well team - as soon as he came out, he almost bumped into a search team member.
Facing the man's surprised gaze, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Go and inform the cadres that I have found the traitor! They are going to Professor Bai's office!" (To be continued)
ps: I am chased by updates every day. I sigh, when can I save the manuscript... I hope to start double updates in January. You have to say that the subscription is not enough to make up the chapters. By the way, I found that I have a free review
I really want to use the ticket on myself and give it a 10-point score. Do you think this would make me look too shameless?
