Chapter 655 (1/2)
With Zhang Heng's slap, the mood of the people who were on the verge of collapse was temporarily pulled back. However, looking at the frightened and helpless eyes of these people, Zhang Heng knew that there was no need for any meme attack at all now. Only by giving them a period of time, people's emotions would still collapse.
However, not all people are so hopeless. When Zhang Hengchao looked around, many of them still remained calm, which was enough.
”Gentlemen.” Zhang Heng clapped his hands and attracted people's eyes. ”We need a team of people to go down to the inside of the base. No matter what happens, only when we enter the base can we find a communication station to contact the outside world and find the only vitality.”
”You're kidding, I'm not going down!” Suddenly, the crowd burst into an uproar. One of the obese men was on the verge of collapse, venting his fear in the bottom of his hoarse. He roared, ”under the hundreds of shelter projects, ghosts know what has been leaked. Shall we go down to find death?”
”It's just voluntary.” Zhang Heng scornfully glanced at each other, ”is there anyone willing to go down with me to investigate?”
”I'll go!” What Zhang Heng didn't expect was that the first speaker was Joey. He laughed at Zhang Heng and said, ”we have weapons in our hands and can protect you.” Then he took out a Glock 19 and loaded it skillfully. ”Although this guy may not play a role in dealing with the shelter, it's better than nothing.”
”I'll go too!” The second speaker was Professor Anderson. He said with a wry smile, ”I know where the contact device of the base to the outside world is, and my ID card can also enter some more confidential areas, which should help you.”
Zhang Heng nodded and looked around the crowd again. Suddenly, four more field agents came out. One of them, a middle-aged man with a beard, said, ”count me in. Maybe all this is just a joke the base played on us?”
At this time, with Zhang Heng, the number of people who voluntarily went down to the base has reached seven. Seeing this, Zhang Heng no longer hesitated and took the lead to walk in the direction of the elevator, ”OK, those who are willing to follow will follow, and those who do not want to go down will stay here. May God bless you.”
Joey and Anderson all took a deep breath and followed Zhang Heng closely. At this time, security authority is no longer the standard for evaluating the status. In the face of disaster, herd behavior will expose human nature vividly and vividly.
People looked at Zhang Heng and others who had left. Some of them wanted to follow. However, at the thought of the possible danger in the base, these people finally retreated. They preferred to stay among the large forces. However, today's people are like a group of lambs waiting for the predators to approach.
When he got to the elevator door, Zhang Heng suddenly felt a movement in his heart. He gave a slight pause at his feet and turned his head to Anderson. ”Professor Anderson, I just offended you.”
”Not in the way.” Anderson was stunned, then shook his hand with a wry smile. ”Compared with the danger we are facing now, what is that just now? What's more, I've been pampering for so long that I can't even keep my basic mentality. Alas... ”
Zhang Heng nodded and thought again, ”I don't think we should take the elevator.”
After Zhang Heng, Joey showed a thoughtful look and said, ”yes, it's not a good idea to take the elevator now. If there is any danger, we can't even escape.”
”Then take the stairs.” Professor Anderson nodded, and clearly understood the danger, ”but I hope you can slow down a little bit, otherwise I will be hard to keep up with.”
All of them nodded their heads to show that they understood, and then they turned and walked toward the stairs, which was originally sealed. But as Professor Anderson took out his ID card and scratched on the card reader, the door of the emergency passage was opened and a dark staircase appeared in front of everyone.
The angle of the stairs is very steep, and the steps and handrails are filled with dust. Looking down from the stairway, the zigzag staircase is like the entrance to hell, making people unable to see the bottom.
Zhang Heng even doubted whether anyone had walked on the stairs in the years since the base was built.
”Dong Dong Dong Dong!”
A group of seven people went downstairs quickly. The deep stairs seemed to spread infinitely. There were only dark red emergency lights shining on the top of their heads, mixed with the heavy echoes of people's footsteps. It was eerie and strange, as if in hell
However, after more than a dozen floors, Professor Anderson began to pant. By about half of the time, Professor Anderson was sweating profusely. Every step became extremely heavy and his physical strength was completely exhausted.
”I can't walk.” Professor Anderson sat down on the stairs and shook his head. ”You go. I'll take a rest here.”
Zhang Heng stopped at his feet and saw Professor Anderson throw his ID card over. His sweat dampened his bald gray hair. Anderson squeezed out a smile, ”I'll wait for you here. I hope you can bring good news.”
”Professor...” Zhang Heng reached out to catch the other party's ID card. His eyes were a little complicated, but soon he disappeared again. He nodded to Anderson and ran down again without looking back. Everyone knew that with Professor Anderson's age, even if he reluctantly returned to the base, his survival probability was still infinitely close to zero in the face of those dangers. It would be better to stay here, perhaps there is a line Vitality”This scene is very similar to the beginning of a novel...” When he was running, Zhang Heng murmured in a low voice. When he read a novel, he didn't understand why the little fat man couldn't stand up after climbing several stairs. Even when he was in high school, he even tried to run from the top of his five storey building to the bottom of the building. The amount of activity was just a question of one breath. Even after running, he didn't even have to breathe.
However, he did not understand that it took him much physical strength to go downstairs. However, compared with going upstairs, if you run hundreds of floors at a time, Liu Xiang would have to stop cooking completely.
Time passed slowly. About 15 minutes later, the remaining six people finally arrived at the bottom of the base. At this time, a steel gate stood in front of everyone. Seeing this gate, all of them could not help but stop their bodies, gasping for breath, and began to recover their little physical strength.
However, compared with the people's panting, Zhang Hengfan at this time seemed to have nothing to do, even a drop of sweat did not flow, so Joey and others could not help but look at him.
When the crowd gradually recovered, Zhang Heng went to the front door, took Professor Anderson's ID card and gently scratched on the card reader. Suddenly, with the booming sound, the door to the base interior was suddenly opened!
Behind the gate is the hall where Zhang Heng used to select d-level personnel. However, at this time, the hall is dark. It seems that the power has been cut off. Only the emergency lights are still dimly flashing, which makes the whole hall very strange.
