"This noise... could it be that the Governor's Mansion was blown up?" Someone swallowed and broke the silence.
As soon as the shaking stopped, a group of people wearing various protective clothing surrounded them and asked Mou Xuan and Shen Yao questions in a flurry.
They were like a group of frightened sparrows, chirping and making a lot of noise that made people's scalps tingle.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"What's with that baby crying? It's creepy!"
"Is there really something wrong with the Governor's Mansion? What should we do then?"
Mou Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and felt his head buzzing.
The noise coming from the direction of the Governor's Palace was indeed strange. The sounds of babies crying and explosions intertwined together, like an absurd symphony of death, which was creepy.
What concerned him more was Jiang, the weirdo who claimed to be from the future. His “save me” was more like a curse, hanging over everyone’s head, unable to be shaken off.
That Jiang...
The image of Jiang's body splitting apart appeared in Mou Xuan's mind. The strange baby form was like some kind of evil ritual, which made him feel an indescribable chill in his heart.
This feeling is like eating a half-cooked meal, and my stomach feels blocked.
"Shut up! Everyone, shut up!" Chen Yao shouted, shocking everyone.
She walked over to Mou Xuan and whispered, "Are you okay?"
Mou Xuan shook his head, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic yet, the matter is not clear yet."
Just then, Information Analyst Shen stumbled over with a crumpled report in his hand, his face pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Report! The information Jiang brought is...partially true!"
"What?!" Everyone was in an uproar.
Information analyst Shin took a breath and continued, "But... but it also seems like a decoy that was deliberately revealed. It's hard to tell whether it's real or fake."
"Bait?" Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes. What on earth was Jiang Hulu selling?
At this time, the Yin Alliance skeptic who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke. The lines on his protective suit had spread to his heart. He looked like he would fall apart at any time, and his voice was intermittent: "No... don't believe... him... he is a liar..."
"Liar?" Someone sneered, "He looks like this, what else can he cheat us of?"
Mou Xuan's heart shuddered. Although Yin's words were brief, they were like a stone that caused ripples in the calm lake of his heart.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
"Yaoyao," Mou Xuan turned to Chen Yao, "Think carefully again, in the bronze cabin, every detail guided by those lines, is there anything missing?"
Chen Yao frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and tried hard to recall the scene.
The dim light in the cabin, the cold touch of metal, and those mysterious patterns, scenes flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and exclaimed, "I remember! The order in which those patterns activate the bronze device... seems to be related to some key nodes of our alliance base!"
"The critical point?!" Everyone gasped.
Mou Xuan's heart was shocked, and a terrible thought emerged in his mind.
He immediately activated his time ability, and the world in front of him seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button, with all kinds of information flashing through his mind at a rapid speed.
Jiang's strange behavior, the baby's crying, the explosion in the Governor's Mansion, the report of Shen Information Analyst, the warning of the Yin Alliance's suspects, and Shen Yao's discovery...all the clues were intertwined in his mind, gradually piecing together into a complete picture.
"Not good!" Mou Xuan's face suddenly changed. "Jiang's target is not the Governor's Mansion, but the entire Alliance Base! He wants to use the base's self-destruct program..."
Without time to explain, Mou Xuan immediately began to deploy personnel to secretly protect the key facilities of the alliance base.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.
Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, news suddenly came from within the alliance...
The communicator within the alliance suddenly crackled, and an anxious voice suddenly exploded: "Report! Wei... Wei believed him... He went to Jiang's quarantine area!" This news was like a depth charge, and it exploded in the crowd with a "boom".
"What the hell? Why is Lao Wei going to that damn place? Is he crazy?" someone exclaimed, his voice as sharp as a rooster with its neck strangled.
"Oh my god! Old Wei is such a stupid teammate. Why is he causing trouble at this critical moment!" Chen Yao's face turned pale and she grabbed Mou Xuan's arm tightly, her fingertips were cold.
"This is bad! Jiang is a cunning guy. Who knows what will happen if Wei Xinzhe goes there!" Mou Xuan's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He felt a strong sense of uneasiness, like a fishbone stuck in his throat, which he could neither swallow nor spit out.
"Isolated area...key node...bait..." He muttered to himself, these fragments spinning wildly in his mind, piecing together into a horrifying picture.
He looked up suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" He grabbed the communicator and roared, "Seal off the quarantine area immediately! Never let the unbelieving people come into contact with Jiang! Quick!" A panicked response came from the other end of the communicator: "Report! It's... too late! The quarantine area... has been... blocked... by an unknown energy!" Mou Xuan only felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and a feeling of powerlessness surged like a tide.
He seemed to see a huge black curtain slowly falling, covering everything in endless darkness.
"Damn it..." He slammed the table hard, and the metal table top made a dull sound, just like his mood at the moment, heavy and depressed.
Suddenly, a strange whisper came from the communicator, intermittent, eerie and terrifying, like a call from hell... "Save... me... Save..." Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented sense of fear gripped his heart.
“This voice…” He turned his head abruptly to look at Chen Yao, only to find that Chen Yao was also looking at him in horror, her face pale, her lips trembling, and she uttered a name…
