Chapter 225 Private Base Attacked
The private base caused such huge losses to the government, why would they send people to help the private base?
Zeng Qingliang explained: "He was sent to help break into the private base. The private base was breached two days ago, and he stayed there to help dismantle the generator. The higher-ups wanted to take the generator away, and once a new site for the underground city was chosen, they would install the generator there to facilitate electricity use for the project."
Xia Xiaoman was surprised, "Isn't Sun Haiyun an electrician? How did he break into the private base? How did he break in with electricity?"
"Yeah, they seem to have built some kind of electric grid. When the jet is ejected, the grid will open, and anyone who touches the grid will be electrocuted in a few seconds. Most of the people at the power station were sent to build the grid near the private base. Brother Yun's skills are pretty good, so he was also taken there."
The military requires strict control of the power grid, which cannot be too high or too low. If the power is too high, if it is touched by the hostages, a large number of innocent people will die. If the power is too low, it will not stun the people in the private base, which means that the effort is wasted and it will alert the enemy.
When Sun Haiyun and his team arrived near the private base, the power grid had already been debugged and they needed help in building the grid.
Because each net needs to be wrapped with iron wires, people who don't know electrical work may connect the wires incorrectly, so the army will borrow people from the power station to help.
Sun Haiyun spent several days weaving an electric grid there. After the private base was breached, he was called to help dismantle the generator.
The generator that provides electricity to the entire private base is not comparable to ordinary small generators. It is more appropriate to call it a distribution room rather than a generator.
There are 5 distribution rooms in the private base, each of which is about 100 square meters in size. Sun Haiyun and other employees of the power station worked for seven or eight days to clear out these five distribution rooms.
After successfully completing the task assigned by his superiors, Sun Haiyun took a rare half-day off. After explaining the work at hand, he hurried to find Xia Xiaoman.
At this time, Xia Xiaoman was at home fiddling with the large and extra-large animal traps that Zeng Qingliang had sent her yesterday.
The animal trap is very useful. It can not only catch prey, but also prevent people with bad intentions from invading her home.
During the smog period, she didn’t know that animal traps were so useful, so she bought too few. As a result, there was an overabundance of steel-toothed rabbits and there were not enough animal traps.
This time she made some large, medium, small and extra-large animal traps. No matter if it was a mouse the size of a palm or a person weighing 100 or 200 pounds, anyone who dared to sneak into her house had to be prepared to have their legs broken.
The surface of the new trap was a bit rough and the clamp was not very flexible. Xia Xiaoman applied a layer of oil to the clamp to lubricate it, and the clamp instantly became much more flexible and would close immediately with a slight touch.
"Awoo~" Maodan growled softly, his eyes staring at the door vigilantly.
When Xia Xiaoman saw this, she knew there was some noise outside. She put down the trap in her hand and ran to the balcony on the second floor.
It was daytime, the sky was a deep blue, and occasionally a hint of paleness could be seen on the horizon.
With the help of the faint light, Sun Haiyun saw Xia Xiaoman standing on the second-floor balcony, so he pulled off the scarf on his face and waved to her.
Seeing that it was Sun Haiyun, Xia Xiaoman put on his coat and climbed over the wall to go out. "Why did you come so late? If you were a few days later, I would have been sold to the trading point by the snowmobile."
Sun Haiyun said apologetically: "Sorry, something happened to delay me."
"What's going on at the private base? Have all the people inside been arrested?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
"The important figures have been captured, but some of the minions took advantage of the chaos to escape and have not been captured yet. However, the floating city is so small that unless they leave the floating city, they will be captured sooner or later."
The army used electric fences to knock out all the hostages and people in the base blocking the door, and then broke in through the door.
They did not kill all the people in the private base. Anyone who surrendered was arrested and sent to labor camp, but if they refused to surrender, they were shot on the spot.
Xia Xiaoman asked curiously, "How will those survivors who were deceived into going to the private base be accommodated there?"
"Send them all to the rescue station."
When talking about the survivors who were deceived into going to the private base, Sun Haiyun looked a little unnatural.
After the private base was breached, he followed the main force into the base to find the power distribution room, and saw a group of hunched and skinny people. They looked like they had been sucked dry by monsters, with haggard faces, hollow eyes, and dark circles under their eyes.
When they heard that they were going to be sent to a relief station, a few people jumped out and wanted the soldier to find the supplies that were stolen from the private base and return them to them.
Someone took the lead and more and more people followed suit to stop the soldiers. At first, they asked the soldiers to return the supplies, but gradually they asked for supplies and the wages they had worked for in the private base.
In the end, they even blamed the authorities for being deceived into a private base, saying that it was the authorities' inaction that led to them being deceived, and they demanded compensation from the authorities.
Those who went to encircle the private base were all soldiers from the army. Most of them were not good at speaking and their words might be a little bit unkind. After a while, they came into conflict with the survivors.
The matter became a big deal. The superiors heard the unreasonable demands made by the survivors and waved their hands, telling their men to ignore these survivors.
The army originally wanted to send the survivors to the rescue station by car. But since the survivors didn't appreciate it, they were too lazy to do the hard work for nothing and just let the survivors walk to the rescue station by themselves!
"Be careful when you go out recently. The survivors who escaped from the private base are penniless and might do something irrational." Sun Haiyun kindly warned.
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "Don't worry! I basically don't go out unless there's something important. Wait here for a moment, I'll drive the snowmobile over."
Sun Haiyun responded and stayed where he was waiting.
Xia Xiaoman walked for a distance and saw that there was no one nearby, so he took out a snowmobile from the space and drove back.
Seeing that the snowmobile she drove back could be converted into a pedal generator, Sun Haiyun discussed the price of the snowmobile with Xia Xiaoman.
His financial resources are limited, and he can only afford to buy one car at the moment. He plans to buy the remaining three cars after modifying this one and selling it.
Sun Haiyun promised to buy the remaining three cars one after another within five days, and Xia Xiaoman agreed without hesitation.
It's also good to sell the cars one by one. It's more convenient for her to take the car and she won't be easily discovered by others.
