Chapter 872 The Last 19 Hours (asking for monthly ticket)

The two soldiers shouted to encourage themselves and rushed towards the dazzling white light resolutely.

But before they could run far.

But in an instant, the soldier in the front staggered to his knees, the instruments in his hands exploded with sparks in the strong light, and he fell headfirst to the ground.

"Oh my God! Come back soon!"

Seeing this scene, Brian knew that there was no possibility of completing this mission, but his roar had already been swallowed up by the buzzing white noise.

The second soldier was not spared either. He let out an indistinct howl and fell to the ground.

"Everyone retreat to the molten steel cooling pool immediately!"

Gu Ji shouted, grabbed Professor Chris' arm and ran into the factory.

It is the only place in the factory that has both concrete structure and large steel shelter, which may provide temporary shelter.

When everyone stumbled and hid in the half-person-high concrete wall, the dazzling white light began to become stronger and stronger, and it was likely that the unidentified flying object had landed to the ground.

When the beam swept across the cooling pool, Gu Ji's temples throbbed, and then he felt a stream of warm liquid flowing out of his nasal cavity.

He knew that this was a symptom of the body being exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. The workers not far away who did not wear heavy protective clothing fainted on the spot.

I don't know how long it took, but the dazzling white light finally gradually disappeared, and the factory fell into darkness again, with only the sound of electricity and groans of equipment echoing.

"Damn it! Is everyone okay..."

Holt breathed heavily, his voice trembling slightly.

"I'm fine, I just had a nosebleed, Professor... Professor!"

Brian sniffed and turned to look at Professor Chris. After all, he was the oldest and had the worst physical fitness among them.

Unexpectedly, the professor fainted and a large amount of blood flowed from his nose, almost staining the transparent window of the heavy protective suit red.

"Hurry, make him lie flat and support his head to the side!"

Gu Ji resisted the urge to vomit and feel nauseous, and put his hand on Professor Chris' chest.

At this time, they had no way of opening the heavy protective clothing for inspection, because no one knew how high the electromagnetic radiation in the surrounding environment was. Opening the zipper rashly would only lead to faster death.

So Gu Ji could only perform CPR on him like saving a drowning person.

Fortunately, after pressing a few times, he heard two "coughs", and Chris coughed out the blood that had flowed back into his trachea from his mouth and nose, and then he woke up.

"Thank God, the professor is okay!"

Holt breathed a sigh of relief.

Expert Chris's research is too important to the military. If he dies here, all of them will be in trouble!

"Ms. Sahana, thank you for saving me!"

"It's okay, it's just these workers..."

Gu Ji turned his head and looked at the steel mill workers and the white old woman lying on the ground not far away.

All of these people were unconscious due to nausea and did not have time to run out of the factory. Now their skin is covered with purple spots and their mouths and noses are bleeding.

This is because direct exposure of the human body to extremely strong radiation will cause double-strand breaks in the human DNA, leading to immune collapse and multiple organ failure and bleeding, which is why large purple spots form on the skin surface.

"Let's go to the scene first!"

In Hott's eyes, the value of these civilians is naturally not as great as that of mysterious objects, especially an object that can move freely and has super power, which has great research value!

Brian helped Professor Chris up and walked carefully out of the factory to where the two soldiers fell.

The scene was simply horrific. The heavy protective clothing on them had already vaporized and disintegrated, and the exposed skin had been completely charred and emitted a pungent smell.

The radiation burned a huge ripple-shaped mark on the surrounding ground, with wisps of green smoke rising from the edges.

"My God, the intensity of this electromagnetic radiation is too terrifying, it's almost like a miniature nuclear bomb..."

Professor Chris exclaimed while gasping for breath.

You know, in reality, most cases of radiation deaths are often very hidden and painful, rather than the dramatic cell explosions in Hollywood movies.

That kind of direct display of skin carbonization actually requires local irradiation greater than 10^6 Rad to be achieved, which is basically equivalent to facing a nuclear bomb explosion!

"Damn it!"

Hott picked up the equipment parts that had already melted on the ground and cursed through gritted teeth.

Gu Ji took a quick look and thought it should be a special radio wave transmitter.

This also indirectly confirms that the military was indeed using the "aircraft carrier high-definition angular positioning" method to track the positions of Bakken and Paul.

He didn't expect these soldiers to be so naive.

They actually wanted to place a "locator" on the mysterious fragment to control its location. Don't they know that electromagnetic radiation will interfere with the signal?

"Seal off the scene and take away all the bodies first."

Brian ordered with a heavy face.

The soldiers quickly stepped forward and wrapped their companions' bodies in special body bags.

By doing this, on the one hand, we can go back and perform an autopsy on the body and conduct a secondary study;

On the other hand, it is to prevent what happens here from leaking out.

really.

When everyone left the factory and prepared to return to the car to use the radio for help, they happened to see a few workers who had escaped, as well as the disgusting policeman and black hat manager from before.

"Catch them!"

"Ah? Sir, we didn't do anything!"

"Wait! Sir, I won't reveal what's going on in the factory, please let us go!"

It seems that the police understand the military's style of operation better.

But Holt wouldn't listen to anything they said. He just said "routine cooperation with the investigation" and asked his men to tie the man into the car.

What no one expected was.

As soon as Brian picked up the communicator, many troop carriers arrived in the town. A large number of chemical defense soldiers wearing rubber-coated anti-nuclear coats and gas masks jumped off the vehicles one after another and quickly blocked off the area around the town.

Gu Ji was also stunned for a moment.

They immediately looked up and found that the sky had already turned dark. Then they realized that they must have encountered the same strange time difference effect as the last time in the Rundel Forest.

as predicted.

After the two sides exchanged signals, Brian realized that more than two hours had passed since the UFO appeared.

But they felt like only less than ten minutes had passed.

Previously, when UFOs emitted strong radiation fields, the radiation was so strong that it triggered multiple radiation monitoring warnings in London. Prime Minister Churchill even thought that a Soviet nuclear bomb had been launched. It was not until the Minister of the Air Force personally came forward to explain what had happened that he knew what had happened.

Seeing that so much time had passed and there was still no news from Brian and Hott, the Air Force Minister and the US military commander Peter were afraid that something might happen to them, so they urgently mobilized nuclear forces to deal with the situation.

"It seems that what Sheriff Penny said is true!"

"It's incredible. I can't even feel the passage of time, but..."

"But we arrived at three in the afternoon, and now it's completely dark, and we didn't notice anything. It seems that the radiation has affected our brain's consciousness center's understanding of the environment!"

Professor Chris is indeed a professional.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he resolved Gu Ji's doubts.

indeed.

If it was just a simple time difference, then they wouldn't be unable to tell the difference between day and night.

There is only one possible reason why it has become so dull, that is, consciousness has completely separated from the environment and entered a state similar to the self-world.

Just like when people are concentrating on studying or playing games, they feel that time passes very quickly and they don’t even notice if someone is talking next to them or what is happening around them.

"Let's talk about these things when we get back. Let's get rid of the radioactive dust on our bodies first."

Brian saw that the instruments held by the nuclear defense forces were humming continuously, so he asked everyone to be sprayed and disinfected one by one, and then drove away from the scene quickly.

After returning to the military base.

Gu Ji had been waiting for Brian and Hott to report to the British and American generals.

It was not until 10 o'clock in the evening that everyone gathered in the conference room again.

Gu Ji and Professor Chris sat at the table with all the information about the three UFO incidents in front of them.

"The general ordered us to find a way to deal with it. Otherwise, the next time it appears in central London, more than just a few workers will die!"

Hott tapped his fingers hard on the documents several times and shouted loudly.

Obviously, this incident of unidentified objects in the factory completely crushed the military's arrogance and made them realize the horror of these mysterious objects.

Gu Ji couldn't help but think of the expansion pack he saw at CTOC decades ago.

It is hard to imagine how the Xia Kingdom, with its underdeveloped military technology, could have faced such a terrifying mysterious sphere.

It is because of countless heroic soldiers who have fought at the forefront that the people can live a happy life today.

Because peace and stability are so hard to come by.

Gu Jicai now understood better why the army and the police were cracking down on terrorist attacks and targeting extremist organizations, especially THEO.

Professor Chris pushed his glasses and said:

"The first time was in a small town, the second time was in the Rendel Forest, and this time was in the steel mill. From a geographical perspective, there is no similarity at all, and from a time interval perspective, there is no obvious pattern..."

Several people were discussing intensely, one after another.

But Gu Ji stared at the data and fell into deep thought.

There are less than two hours left until the early morning of the 9th.

If he remembered correctly, the London fog in 1952 ended on December 12, which was around 9 p.m.

In other words.

He only had 19 hours left to complete the game, and the progress bar of the ultimate mission displayed by the system had exceeded 800 deaths at this moment, and was in imminent danger of being close to the upper limit of 1100.

Because the further we go, the more people will die from respiratory diseases caused by smog.

More than 4000 people will die in a whole month.

If Gu Ji cannot find a way to interfere with the mysterious flying object within these 14 hours, then the cold cyclone that originally blew away the London smog may not appear on time.

At that time he will definitely face the punishment of mission failure.

But now, what solution can be found?

"Damn it! Sahana, I'm asking you, didn't you hear me?"

"Sahana!"

Suddenly.

A scolding brought Gu Ji's thoughts back to reality.

Gu Ji knew it must be this guy Holt again.

He was about to find an excuse to retort, but suddenly noticed something unusual, "Wait!"

"Have you found a pattern?"

Brian's eyes lit up and he quickly asked.

Gu Ji shook his head, squinted his eyes and began to speak:

“We have been looking for commonalities from external factors, could it be that the key lies in the behavior patterns of the UFOs themselves?

For example, the energy fluctuations and impacts caused by its appearance every time. When it first appeared in the town, although no radiation was detected, nearby electronic equipment failed. In the Rendel Forest, there was radiation and strange electromagnetic phenomena. Not to mention this time, the strong radiation almost killed us all in the factory..."

"You mean... the radiation it releases is getting stronger and stronger!"

Professor Chris's eyes gradually widened.

"That's right! The most important point is that the three comparisons show that the time it is exposed to the air defense radar is also positively correlated with the radiation, and the flying speed is slower!"

Gu Ji's words.

It completely woke up several people.

Everyone began to carefully compare the data on energy fluctuations, changes in radiation intensity, and various abnormal phenomena before and after the appearance of the UFOs in the three incidents, trying to find the key information to decipher the unidentified objects from these complex information.

"What Sahana said is true!"

Professor Chris kept flipping through the documents, speaking faster and faster, "Its flying speed is decreasing, its camouflage effect is getting worse, and the energy it releases is getting stronger. It... Oh my God, is it consuming its own energy and getting weaker?"

At the end, he suddenly paused and then asked a somewhat surprising question in a low voice.

"Weaker? Why would it do that? This is totally against the laws of nature!"

Holt denied it immediately.

"Would anyone be so stupid as to commit suicide when they have the power to destroy a town? Even animals wouldn't do that, would they?"

But Gu Ji asked directly: "You don't really think it's an alien?"

"What do you mean?"

"stop!"

Brian raised his hand to interrupt Holt and said, "Ms. Sahana, please continue!"

"I think the reason it made such a big noise is that it's searching for something."

"Look for?"

"Yes, do you remember the abnormality with Penny?"

"Are you talking about the coordinates?"

As soon as Gu Ji finished speaking, Professor Chris took over, and then his eyes rolled, as if he suddenly figured something out, "I understand, since it can leave coordinates in Penny's mind, it means that it may also be looking for these mysterious objects!"

"Yes, based on the information we have collected about mysterious objects over the years, I think they are most likely formed by the fragmentation of a huge object!"

"This is indeed consistent with the characteristics of the mysterious object in the laboratory. One side is as smooth as metal, while the other side looks like broken parts..."

Chris muttered to himself, and then his eyes suddenly became firm, "It releases strong energy, is it trying to communicate and resonate with other components?!" (End of this chapter)
