Jiang Yan was looking at the drawings when the desk lamp suddenly went out.
She raised her head in confusion. Why was the power out again?
It's grey and a little cloudy outside the window, so I only turn on the desk lamp when I'm looking at drawings. I don't need it at other times.
Jiang Yan stood up and wanted to see what was going on, but the corridor was dark.
"What's wrong with Xiao Jiang?"
The corridor was full of people, and Wu Fan also pushed the door and walked out.
"I'm not sure. There's a power outage. Maybe the circuit breaker has tripped?"
Jiang Yan said: "Don't worry, take a look first. Xiao Wu, go find Master Chen and ask him to check the circuit."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Yan returned to the office, opened the drawer to find a flashlight, and went to check the circuit breaker, but found no problem with it.
Xiao Wu had been gone for a long time and had not returned yet. Someone went back to the house anxiously and called the maintenance station, but the call was not connected and was always busy.
"I can't get through on the phone either. How strange..."
After checking the power switch, Jiang Yan felt uneasy and quickly climbed up one floor. He found the power switch and checked it. He discovered that the power switch here was also intact, but there was a power outage on this floor as well.
She hurried downstairs with a tense face.
"How about it?"
"The switch is fine, but there's a power outage upstairs. Maybe the entire institute is out of power now."
"Mr. Jiang, I can't get through on the phone. Also, Xiao Wu hasn't come back in a while!"
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat.
“Could it be the explosion at the steel plant?”
When the steel plant exploded, they were really scared. The sound was like a cannon, rumbling.
Later, the whole city was under martial law, and they learned that something had happened at the steel plant. Although the explosion did not affect a large area, the fire might have been too large and burned the power lines, affecting them as well.
Jiang Yan thought more.
The location of the steel plant is very special. Although it is very close to the research institute, it is unlikely that a small accident will affect the institute's circuits.
"Xiao Wu hasn't come back yet?"
"No, the phone call is not working."
Oh no.
Jiang Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She was different from the scientists and scholars in the research institute. She was a former soldier and was alert. She knew there must be something wrong when something was unusual.
The line inspection at the research institute is the most rigorous. The maintenance technicians in the institute are on call 24 hours a day to ensure that the circuits are unobstructed, which is to ensure scientific research. Things like what happened today have never happened before. It is a bit weird inside and out.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Tianlai also rushed over with his men.
Jiang Yan hesitated to speak, "Master..."
"What's wrong?"
In order not to cause panic, Jiang Yan wanted to talk to him about the circuit alone.
"Just tell me what's going on." If there's really something going on, you can't hide it.
Jiang Yan's face looked very bad. "Master, Sister Wu, something may have happened. Our research institute has been targeted by criminals."
As soon as he finished speaking, various cricket sounds were heard in the corridor.
"I can't?"
"I think what she said makes sense, otherwise why would there be a power outage?"
"Do you have any basis for this?"
Their hospital is a key protected unit and is under protection. The security department of the factory is composed of veterans and they are not pushovers.
Jiang Yan knew that time was running out, so he made a long story short.
"The switch was fine, but there was no electricity in the entire building. I couldn't get through on the phone. Xiao Wu went to find a maintenance technician, but he didn't come back for a long time."
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said, "The explosion at the steel plant is probably just a cover. As long as there is chaos there first, our research institute will be empty. By then, we won't be able to get support and we will be attacked from both sides. Someone may have already sneaked in..."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden loud bang outside.
It seemed like something exploded with quite a loud noise, followed by another loud noise, so muffled that it hurt my ears.
Everyone in the corridor was startled and crouched down subconsciously.
"Didn't the steel mill explode again?"
“It’s possible!”
"It's on fire."
It was clear from the window that there was a fire outside the institute.
Everyone looked unhappy and at the same time realized one thing: the explosion did not come from the steel plant at all, but from their yard.
"Did there happen to be an accident in the lab?"
Jiang Yan listened to everyone's chatter and shouted, "Shut up!"
Everyone looked at her in surprise. In their impression, Jiang Yan was a very easy-going person, and her appearance was deceptive, always making people think she was a soft girl.
In fact, they were all wrong. Was it actually a tigress?
"Master, it's too late. Hurry up and have everyone take the important research materials and hide in the air-raid shelter."
Under the research institute, there is a very secret air-raid shelter with emergency supplies to deal with emergencies.
"Everyone, listen to me. The situation is urgent. Everyone, take important research materials and hide in the air-raid shelter."
The corridor was full of people, and after hearing Jiang Yan's words, they all looked at Xu Tianlai involuntarily.
Xu Tianlai believed in Jiang Yan's intuition, as his disciple graduated from a military academy.
"Everyone, act quickly!"
Since Elder Wu had spoken, everyone stopped hesitating and rushed to their own offices to get the information.
Everyone was an educated person and might not have encountered the dangers that Jiang Yan had encountered before, but everyone was not stupid. After listening to her analysis, they all figured out some of the truth.
Jiang Yan hurried back to her office and put all the documents and information into the space. She didn't care about the useless things. She had to collect as much information as possible, and the first place to go was the old man's room.
Mr. Xu was assigned a guard, and at this moment, the old man and the young man were packing things in the house!
There are a lot of useful things in Mr. Xu's room. Jiang Yan came in and asked them to pick out the important things and pushed them out immediately.
"Xiao Zhao, you must protect my master well. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood. There will be more of these things in the future."
Xiao Zhao had no choice but to quickly put the documents into a big bag, put it on his shoulders, and ran with the old man.
Xu Tian felt so distressed, "Give me some more."
"Master, please leave quickly. Maybe it's just a false alarm and the things won't be lost."
The building became chaotic and everyone grabbed the most important research materials and ran to the underground air-raid shelter.
Jiang Yan followed behind everyone, picking up leaks and throwing things into the space.
At this time, the steel plant had just experienced a second explosion. Li Jing was cursing outside the explosion circle. The heat wave was rolling and the fire was even stronger than the first explosion.
I really don't know how those bastards succeeded. There must be something wrong with their work. How did they let someone sneak in?
The second explosion drowned out the noise from the research institute, and the incident at the steel plant once again attracted everyone's attention here.
Of course, Si Lu didn't think so. He had already led his men to the research institute...
