the only savior

Chapter 426 Power outage?
Before the incident, it was around 8 o'clock local time.

John was in his tent at the time, happily eating hot pot and singing.

This kind of delicacy from the Eastern Huaxia Kingdom is his favorite item. Even after arriving here, he will prepare some ingredients by himself to make a simple hot pot to satisfy his appetite.

However, just as he finished cooking the bottom of the pot and was about to use it, he didn't want the whole camp to suddenly go dark, and the hot pot he just made could only temporarily stop.

Something is wrong with the circuit?

This was John's first reaction at the time.

He often performs tasks outside, and it is not the first time he has encountered such a problem with the circuit, it has long been a common occurrence.

After all, isn't it normal for such a temporarily erected circuit to have a short circuit or something?

John immediately put down the tableware in his hand, and called William, the engineer in the team, loudly.

Although William is young, he has more than two missions experience. Such power outages should be easy to handle.

But what made him a little depressed was that not only was the circuit malfunctioning, but even flashlights, night vision goggles and other equipment could not be used.

This discovery immediately made his heart skip a beat, because he was very familiar with such a situation.

He couldn't forget that before entering this island, that large block disabled all electronic equipment, and he could only use the sea area that sailboats passed through.

But even though he had guesses in his heart, William couldn't just give up, he still needed to try.

Even though it's dark now, and he can barely see some things, but he is the only engineer in the team, who else can go if he doesn't?

Groping to the location where the generator was placed in memory, William checked the nearby equipment one by one by feeling.

Because he couldn't see, he could only slow down and try carefully, which also made the time drag for a long time.

"William, is it okay? Why hasn't there been any response after so long? Did you find something?"

On the side, John's voice sounded again. He was able to ask such a question, which also showed that he was also aware of something, but he was not sure yet.

Or in other words, he is not willing to believe it yet.

"Yes, Commander, I think you should have noticed that this is not an ordinary circuit failure, but just like the situation around the island, this place has also been shrouded by that chaotic magnetic field..."

"Damn!"

Hearing this, John slapped the generator beside him fiercely, and without saying a word, he returned to his tent by relying on the location in his memory.

"Damn it! I knew it! The things inside the barrier must be unusual! They must be aliens, they found us, and now they are taking corresponding measures!"

While talking, John picked up various items in the tent and tried them one by one.

Including communicators, telephones, watches, flashlights, night vision goggles and other things, whether they are military or civilian, the end result is the same, that is, they are all paralyzed.

"Fake!!"

John dropped the mechanical watch in his hand.

This watch was given to him by his wife, and he bought it from a world-renowned watch brand. It is full of quiet pure mechanical parts, and it is also equipped with a magnetic kinetic energy device, but it is completely unusable now.

Holding the last hope, he took out a military compass, left the tent and went outside, observing the situation above by the faint moonlight.

Sure enough, the abnormality of the pointer completely confirmed the cruel reality - the magnetic field here has been chaotic.

John stood blankly in front of the tent, his eyes subconsciously swept across the entire camp, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

Now, all the equipment has stopped working, and the communicator in the tent behind him has also been paralyzed, unable to report his situation to the seaside base.

The position 10 meters ahead should be Kando's tent. I don't know how these guys are feeling and what are they doing now?
On the edge of that damned lake, the two speedboats parked should be unusable.

And in the open space to the east of my camp, the helicopters that came to support me, let alone take off, maybe they will stay here forever, right?
All of a sudden things seemed to be at their worst.

John felt that coming here was simply the worst decision.

Since he arrived here, it seems that everything has started to go wrong.

First, they met the monster in the lake, and then lost several team members inexplicably.

Then came the helicopter that came to support, and suddenly hit the damn barrier again.

Now, even his own camp is ruined, all equipment, vehicles, and planes are all unusable, and now even his evacuation has become a luxury.

Looking at the shimmering lake not far away, it was originally a wonderful natural picture, but in John's eyes, it seemed extremely strange.

It seemed that behind the lake, there were pairs of eyes watching him, trying to swallow him up in this dark night.

Thinking of this, John couldn't help shivering. A gust of cold wind brought him back from his chaotic thoughts.

"No! This place is very dangerous now! We must leave immediately! This magnetic field chaos is likely to be the result of the unknown existence in the barrier. This is an attack! They will definitely come to us! We must immediately Walk!"

Just as he had this idea, a burst of gunshots came from not far away, and the sound of the specially modified R479 made him extremely familiar.

"It's Jack them!"

John immediately ran towards the direction of the gunshots. There were several bumps on the road, but he didn't dare to stop at all, and went straight to the other side of the camp.

"Tom! Is that you! What's going on!?"

Before John's arrival, that unique hoarse roar had already passed over.

"Commander? It's...it's me..."

A black guy in black and black trousers stood on the spot and said, if it weren't for his full white teeth, John would have almost bumped into him.

"What the hell is going on! Why did you suddenly shoot!?"

"Commander, it's okay, it was just a misunderstanding just now."

Aside, a sudden voice made John jump.

He quickly turned his head to look beside him, and it turned out that there was another black guy in black clothes and black pants standing here. He was Jerry, and Tom was two brothers.

"Jerry? You're here too? What do you mean by misunderstanding?"

"It's a bird... A bird flew over there just now, and a pile of bird droppings fell on Tom... He thought it was an enemy appearing in the barrier, so he fired."

Jerry explained.

John was stunned, he didn't expect this to happen, Dang even heaved a sigh of relief, and then he immediately stared at the two of them, angrily said:
"Tom, Jerry! You two, when you go out for action in the future, it is forbidden to carry black clothes in your personal belongings!"

"???"

The two black boys were very puzzled when they heard the words, and they couldn't help showing question marks all over their faces.
