Chapter 1533: The burning slaughterhouse
There was a backup power supply in the slaughterhouse. If it was an ordinary power failure, the backup power supply would be activated temporarily to maintain the normal operation of various equipment. However, the lightning had destroyed the entire power supply system. It was not only the power failure of the main power supply line, but also the fire of the substation. This was an electrical fire. The power supply should be cut off immediately. Even if there was a backup power supply, it was useless.
Fire wasn’t the scariest thing. The scariest thing was smoke. The biggest cause of death in a fire was also smoke, especially the poisonous smoke produced by the burning of chemical substances such as insulating rubber.
In the dark, the people could not tell who was who. They were choked by the smoke and kept coughing, no one caring about each other.
The wind helped the fire, and the fire helped the wind. For a while, there were many fires in the field, but there was no mobile phone signal. They couldn’t call for a fire truck. Even if they called for a fire truck, it would probably be burnt by the time they arrived. Therefore, some brave people took the initiative to put out the fire with fire extinguishers.
After Fernando was electrocuted during the day, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The other tramps who came with him were sent to work in the factory, while he was thrown into confinement and did not even have dinner. Fortunately, he was used to being hungry as a tramp.
He was scared by the fire and couldn’t wait to escape from this Devil’s Den. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t break free from Zhang Zian’s hand, he would have run away long ago.
“Brother, if you have anything to say, say it after we get out. Now is not the time to talk!” He said anxiously.
“Is there a veteran named Mike in your cell?” Zhang Zian asked.”Was he bitten by a dog?”
Fernando immediately nodded.”Yes, there is such a person! However, he couldn’t make it anymore. Even the skin on his face had been torn apart by the dog. He only had one breath left. It was very frightening! Why? You know him?”
“Did he or anyone else mention a girl named melgen?” Zhang Zian asked again.
“Melgen? Let me think ... I think it was mentioned that Mike was having a high fever and was mumbling this name in a daze ... Is he your lover?”
“Did she say where melgen went?”
“Well ... I think they were taken away, but I don’t know where they went.” Fernando looked around, fearing that he would be caught again.
Zhang Zian had planned to save melgen and Mike, but melgen was not here, and Mike ... To be honest, according to Fernando’s description, Mike’s injuries were so serious. Even if he was saved and left this place, he was afraid that he would not be able to walk out of the forest alive without any help or medicine. Maybe he could live a few more days if he stayed here.
“Run in that direction and wait for me outside after crossing the electric net. Oh, by the way, the power grid is out of power. ”
Zhang Zian said, pointing at the road.
“You’re not leaving? It’s very dangerous to stay here. Those people are especially brutal, and it’s better to die than to fall into their hands!” Fernando had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but he was alone and could not even tell the direction. If he wanted to survive in the forest, he had to rely on Zhang Zian’s directions. He wanted to take Zhang Zian with him.
“I still have a bit. You can go out first and don’t mind me.” Zhang Zian shook him off.
Fernando had no choice but to run first. He did not have night vision, so he could only rely on the light of the fire and the flash of lightning. He could not see the road at all.
Zhang Zian ran in the other direction, which was the slaughterhouse’s office building. It was only three stories high, and it was dark without any lights. Since the fire, people had all run out of the room. He wanted to take this opportunity to enter the office to find evidence of Peter Lee and the slaughterhouse’s crimes.
The Elfins followed behind. Old time tea asked,””Zian, what are you going to do?”
Zhang Zian explained his intentions, rushed into the office building with the Elfins, and then split up to look for evidence, because he didn’t know what was evidence.
Time was of the essence. The security guards who were searching outside found that the slaughterhouse was on fire and would definitely come back immediately. They all had taser guns, flashlights, and two Dobbies. Whether they could find evidence or not, they had to leave before they came back.
“There’s an open computer here!” Famous shouted.
Zhang Zian heard the sound and saw that it was a laptop, which was relying on the internal battery to power it. The screen was still on the interface of the electronic form. The owner must have found out that there was a fire outside and ran away in a hurry before turning off the computer.
He glanced at the form, which seemed to be the list of goods purchased from the slaughterhouse. It listed the number of deer bought from which farm, the unit price, and other data.
He heard dogs barking from outside, and through the glass on the third floor, he saw flashlights flashing in the forest outside the power grid. He knew that the security guards were about to return, so he closed the screen of the laptop and held it under his arm, signaling the Elfins to retreat.
He and the Elfins had just run out of the office building when they heard Peter Lee’s voice through the loudspeaker.
“Everyone, listen up! Calm down! Don’t panic! Don’t put out the fire yet!”
“An enemy has sneaked into the interior, deliberately causing destruction, and even let our guest go!”
“All security, don’t put out the fire. Find the enemy first!”
“The rest of you, form a group and search for the enemy! Be careful, the enemy may have a weapon. Do not talk to him when you see him, and attack immediately! Permission granted to use lethal weapons! I repeat, use of lethal weapons is permitted!”
Zhang Zian turned around and saw Peter Lee standing on the roof of the tallest building, holding an emergency light in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other. He also had a walkie-talkie on his waist.
What people needed the most in the chaos was a backbone. They needed someone to take charge. When they heard Peter Lee’s voice, they immediately calmed down.
The returning security guards all had walkie-talkies in their hands. After receiving the order, they did not rush into the slaughterhouse. Instead, they formed an encirclement formation and surrounded the slaughterhouse.
Terrible!
Zhang Zian secretly scolded Peter Lee, this old fox. He was going to burn down the slaughterhouse to catch him. How big was the hatred?
The situation wasn’t looking good. They were like a turtle in a jar. Fortunately, he didn’t plan to save Mike just now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to escape with a living person.
“We can only take action!” Famous said in a deep voice.
Except for a few elves who stayed outside, the elves who came in with him were all ready to fight. But even though they were brave, they had a natural disadvantage. If they wanted to break out of the encirclement, they had to climb over the net. When they climbed over the net, they had no ability to resist or fight back, so they were easily shot by the security guards outside.
Of course, the security guards ‘biggest target was Zhang Zian, but he was more clumsy when crossing the power grid. He was almost a live target. Unless the Elfins were responsible for attracting the security guards’ fire, he would definitely not be able to escape.
“Over there! I see him!”
One of the security guards ‘flashlights locked onto Zhang Zian’s figure, and the other security guards nearby also aimed their flashlights at him.
