Take a detour

The same scene as before was repeated.

Newly captured police trainee Zhou Xiaobo also expressed great resistance to the task of cutting off police communications.

The reason he gave was -

"I'm an intern." Zhou Xiaobo looked innocent and naive: "So I don't know how to do it."

Heige was furious and waved his hand to give a slap to his subordinate who had just done a great job: "You caught the wrong guy again. If you can't even do such a small thing, what use are you!"

Heige left with his men, swearing. Even though they had already walked out of the warehouse, his voice could still be heard through the warehouse's iron gate: "Since the police can't catch him, we can only start the second step of the plan."

Luo Tan's mind moved.

But before she could think about it, Heige's voice became louder: "Or she should find the person who ruined my plan! If she says a few more words, all my glorious plans will be ruined by her!"

Only Luo Tan and Zhou Xiaobo were left in the warehouse.

Luo Tan supported his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "I don't know who made him so jealous."

She turned her head and saw Zhou Xiaobo opening and closing his mouth, opening and closing it again, looking at her with a complicated expression.

Luo Tan: "What? Is your eye cramp?"

"...No." Zhou Xiaobo's expression became more complicated: "Do you know why I came here?"

Luo Tan hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and looked at him: "Since you ask this, are you here to save me?"

Zhou Xiaobo immediately regretted asking the question. Wasn't it embarrassing enough that the rescuer was imprisoned? It was even more embarrassing to be exposed today! He wanted to leave this sad world overnight!

No, he couldn't leave at all, he was still tied up.

He pointed back and gestured to Luo Tan.

Luo Chen pulled for a long time before finally untying a knot. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard hurried footsteps approaching the warehouse door.

Just as she was about to put back the knot of the rope she had taken off with great difficulty, Zhou Xiaobo, who was well-trained, rolled towards the corner of the wall with the rope, and hit his forehead with a "bang".

Luo Tan: “…”

Zhou Xiaobo felt embarrassed and whispered, "I just wanted to hide."

Luo Tan: ...I have a pig teammate and I don't know whether I should throw him away.

The person who came in was still the gangster who kidnapped her. He looked very panicked: "Ah, what was that sound just now?"

Luo Tan: "No, you heard it wrong..."

The gangster pointed at Zhou Xiaobo and said, "Ah, his forehead is bleeding..."

Luo Tan: “…”

Luo Tan felt tired. She held her forehead and said, "He probably doesn't want to be humiliated and wants to emulate the ancients."

The gangster didn't understand, but he was shocked. However, as a well-trained subordinate, he still didn't forget the purpose of his visit: "The boss told me to tell you that he is ready to take action. You can come outside. Today you can watch the police station being beaten to a pulp! The time for revenge has come!"

His eyes turned to a group of people in the corner: "This intern, ah, doesn't want to imitate the warriors of the ancients. Uh, let him stay here."

Luo Chen nodded, followed him out and asked, "Where are we going?"

The gangster smiled and said, "Look at my memory. We are inside the signal base station. The factory where you were imprisoned before is also a warehouse inside the base station. The boss has already reached the signal tower."

These four words rolled around in Luo Tan's mind:

【Signal base station.】

The gangster looked at Luo Tan in confusion: Did she speak just now? But why didn't I see her open her mouth?

At the same time.

On the other side, Xu Cheng, who was leading his men towards the power plant, stopped. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, gradually piecing together a truth.

Luo Chen had said before that the person behind the scenes wanted to cut off the communications of the entire city. Therefore, he inferred that the instigator might have caused damage to the signal base station or the power plant.

He had already sent two teams to two locations for ambush and investigation, but just an hour ago, a wired report said there was movement inside the power plant, so he planned to send a large force to the power plant.

Could it be that he had fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Xu Cheng took a deep breath, then changed direction, quickened his pace, and shouted, "We've been tricked! We have to hurry to the signal base station."

However, worries rose up in his heart like bubbles, but he suppressed them forcefully:

The power plant and the signal base station are in opposite directions. If the main force cannot get there as soon as possible...

Can the first team to defend really compete with the enemy still hiding in the dark?

.

The control room of the signal base station is on the top floor of the signal tower.

A police squad of only ten people was waiting at the bottom of the signal tower, with the muzzles of their raised guns pointed directly at the two people on top of the signal tower.

The squad leader held up a loud speaker and shouted: "Listen, people above, if you don't surrender, I will shoot!"

In the control room, Hei Ge smiled contemptuously. Although they were far apart, his rough voice was heard by everyone: "Do you dare to shoot? If the signal base station is destroyed, will you bear the responsibility?"

The captain's face darkened.

A team member nearby whispered, "It's okay. If they want to cut off the communication, they still need the key. This is top secret."

The next second, an unexpected system prompt sounded.

This means that the key has started to be entered.

The captain raised his head suddenly, and in his fixed gaze, he saw that the assistant beside Heige, who had always covered his face, finally revealed half of his face.

It’s the technicians of the signal base station!

An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly penetrated his heart. The captain's voice became unstable and he asked loudly: "What are you plotting? Why did you cut off the city's communications? What is your purpose?"

Heige smiled and shook his head.

That expression is very obvious, I won't tell you.

The captain closed his eyes, made a decision in his heart, and slowly raised his hand.

If the decryption is successful, the entire city's network will be disconnected in ten minutes, and it will take three days to restore!

He didn't know what their ultimate goal was in planning all this, but he swore by his duty that he must stop it at all costs!

Just when he thought that he would see several shots fired at once and the two people on the tower would be shot into pieces in the hail of bullets -

The captain suddenly felt something cold against his neck.

He looked down and saw a knife.

The man with the knife was hiding among the crowd watching the excitement.

He saw out of the corner of his eye that his teammates were also being controlled one after another.

Brother Hei said proudly: "My men have already been scattered and ambushed in every corner, just surrender!"

The situation reversed instantly!

The next second, a second prompt sound rang, indicating that the key had been successfully cracked.

Next, all you need to do is...

Just as the captain was staring at Heige with bloodshot eyes as he was about to press the button to cut off the city's communications—

Everyone present heard a familiar voice.

[Ah, the system has been updated! So this is their purpose! ]

[Cutting off the police station's exclusive communications and cutting off the city's communications are just preliminary steps in their plan! ]

[Their real purpose is to lead the civilians in the lower city and overthrow the rule of the empire! In order to be the first to occupy a city, they must ensure that no information is leaked when they raise their troops! ]

When Heige was interrupted, he didn't press the button. He thought:

When he catches this nosy person, he will tear her into pieces!

The journey of hatred was aborted before it was completed, because right after that, he heard a sigh with sobs:

[Ah, their original intention of rebellion is really touching. 】

Heige was stunned and his finger just brushed against the top of the key.

[They were born in slums, and their lives have been difficult since they were young. People here don’t have enough to eat, they don’t have warm clothes, their houses are stuffy in the summer, and their roofs leak when it rains.]

[Even if you grow crops, the food will be bought at extremely low prices by those cunning merchants in the upper city; even if you do business, the difference made by the middlemen is much higher than that made by the producers in the slums.]

【But on what basis? 】

[Does being born in the downtown area really make you inferior? 】

Voices from all around kept echoing: "Yeah, how do those old men and women in the upper city live so well?"

"Why were we born into slums? To have to endure rats in our homes, feces in the streets, and the smell of sewers?"

"The empire is corrupt, let's rebel against them!"

“…”

Heige slowly squatted down, covering his face with his ten fingers, tears welling up in his eyes.

No one has ever been able to analyze his pain and his obsession word by word so thoroughly and so touchingly!

Men don't shed tears easily.

However, when you meet someone who understands you, no amount of tears will be enough.

It took him a long time to calm down. He stood up again, gritted his teeth, and determined his goal. Just as he was about to press the last button to terminate the communication, he heard a shocking sentence -

[But isn't rebellion a wrong path? Their leader is the illegitimate son of the emperor! ]

The police team that was controlled at the scene: What?

The crowd watching: What did we hear?

Heige: ????? ?????
