Blackstone Code Chapter 646: Blackout
"I always feel like something's going to happen tonight..."
The chairman of the chamber of commerce, sitting in the study, turned his head to look at the gloomy sky outside the window, his face was full of worry, he always had a feeling that something terrible would happen, but he didn't know that this feeling originated from Where did they come from, let alone why they appeared.
Looking at the night outside the window for a while, his eyes closed from the outside for a while, and he glanced at the butler who was standing by the door waiting to be called anytime, anywhere, "Is there anyone watching over Lynch?"
The housekeeper bowed slightly, "Yes, sir, I have arranged for someone to watch. If anything happens, they will report it as soon as possible."
The butler didn't continue talking here, which also means that nothing special happened.
The dull feeling made the chairman of the chamber of commerce feel that he had a huge stone on his chest, and his heart rate occasionally stepped on the wrong beat, and that momentary wrong beat would give his body a terrible feeling of losing all strength in an instant. A feeling of facing death.
He didn't know if that was death, but he thought it was.
Sitting made him uneasy, he decided to stand up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed heavily, "It's going to rain."
"Yes, sir, summer is here."
Yes, summer is here, and some places a little closer to the sea may be hit by heavy rain anytime, anywhere.
"Let people turn on the lights in the yard, and the patrol will be dispatched tonight." He turned around and walked towards the door. Now he is so upset that he can't sit still and read a book. Or deal with work, then take an early rest.
He didn't tell the housekeeper why he had to turn on all the lights, nor why he had to send more patrols, because he felt a little scared.
Don't look at the fact that there are Gafra people in the empire, but in fact the fighting ability of these Gafra people is worrying, on the contrary, the war ability of the federal people is once again attracting people's attention.
He... wouldn't do that, would he?
After all, this is Zhuris, the capital of Anmelia province, the core of the core of power rule, Lynch... Shouldn't he do anything exaggerated?
The president of the chamber of commerce didn't realize his heart palpitations and his impatient desire to go back to the bedroom was due to a lack of security, he had the water and electricity on Lynch's side cut off, and he had to.
The Governor made it so clear that if he doesn't do something to show his attitude, he can only be flattered by both sides. Only if he does something to show his tendency can he get real security. .
He changed into pajamas early, took a book and sat on the bed, covered with a quilt, forcing himself to read.
Gradually, his attention was drawn to the words in the book, so that he temporarily forgot his previous unease.
At this moment, when he was immersed in the text, suddenly there was a sound of thunder in his ear, as if the sky had been hammered out by this thunder.
Suddenly, it rained heavily, and everything outside the window became extraordinarily blurred. The dark clouds seemed to be in the place where you could reach out and touch them.
The heavy rain made the chairman of the chamber of commerce calmer. In this bad weather, no one would run around outside. He shook his head, and there was a mocking smile on his face, as if he was laughing at his cowardice .
He went back to bed, picked up the book, and was about to continue reading when the light bulb in the room went out.
In the darkness, a bolt of lightning roamed through the dark clouds like a silver snake, briefly lighting up the dark world, but soon it returned to darkness under the dark clouds.
The belated sound of thunder in his ears woke the chairman of the chamber of commerce who was surprised.
The bedroom door suddenly opened, and it was the housekeeper.
There are two maids behind the butler, holding trays in their hands. There are a total of six silver candlesticks on the tray, each with more than a dozen candles.
The appearance of these candles made the room bright again. The hand of the chairman of the chamber of commerce trembled slightly. He pressed it on the butler's arm, trying to calm his heart and his trembling voice, "What's the matter, there is a problem with the wiring. Is it?"
He thinks of the thunder before, and sometimes lightning can break the line, which is often seen in Gavra, and he doesn't think much about other places.
The housekeeper shook his head, took a step back, and kept a certain distance from the president of the chamber of commerce to show his respect for the other party, "I have already arranged for someone to check, but I don't think it has anything to do with us. If you Note that something similar is happening elsewhere."
The chairman of the chamber of commerce was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to the window and looked out.
He suddenly seemed to think of something, he pushed open the window and leaned out, looking in other directions, the rainstorm instantly soaked him, and everything he saw was pitch black.
Power outage!
How could there be a power outage?
In order to ensure the power supply of the Empire District, Governor Seidl cut 80 percent of the electricity system in the city to meet the power needs of the Empire District.
At the same time, in order to protect the last power plant, many guard posts and machine gun fortresses were arranged around the last power plant and the power plant, and the overall structure of the power plant was also reinforced.
Does he... really dare to do it?
The president couldn't help but think that he had let people destroy the power lines on Lynch's side, and also broke their water pipes in the name of road construction. Is this his revenge?
But he... how dare he destroy the city's last power plant to take revenge, isn't he afraid that the governor will hang him in the square?
The dark night and the downpour outside the window are like a demon, shuddering and terrifying.
Gavra's telecommunications equipment and the federal telecommunications equipment are not far behind in terms of technology. In other words, the power supply of the terminal still depends on the machine itself, that is, the telephone itself.
Each landline has an electrical plug, which can only be used when the phone is plugged into a live socket, otherwise it will not work at all.
Because of this, communications across the city are now instantly paralyzed, and people don't even know what's going on at the power plant!
The pouring rain combined with the extremely dark sky at this time, no one considered going to the power plant to see what was going on, including Governor Seder.
He was looking at some information when the light went off suddenly, and by the time he remembered something, there was no sound on the phone.
He was also standing by the window looking at the dark night outside the window. His face was gloomy like the weather at this time. He never thought that Lynch's counterattack would come so fast and so swiftly.
It's just that he doesn't have any way to do it now. The staff of the Governor's Mansion is fully tightened. Who knows if those rebels will come to the Empire District.
The only thing people in the city's imperial district can do at this moment is to wait quietly for the dawn.
In the darkness, Lynch leisurely looked at the rainstorm outside the window. Compared with the complicated expressions on other people's faces, there was only a smile on his face.
"Turn off my power?"
"Then let's go black out!"
In the early morning of the next day, the Governor's Office sent people to the power plant to find out the situation. The news was not very good. Several units were damaged to varying degrees, and about one-third of the units were damaged. There is no maintenance value.
As for the others, even if the parts are removed from the broken unit, it will take several days to repair, and everyone has to endure the invasion of darkness these days.
If the power outage is only one part of the trouble, then the water outage is another part. Without electricity, all kinds of equipment cannot work, and naturally it is impossible to provide water to the entire city.
Everything became turbulent because the power plant was attacked by anti-government groups, and there seemed to be some signs of riots in cities outside the Empire District.
Even in broad daylight, there will be occasional brief and rapid gunshots, and the capital city of Zhuris has begun to impose curfews and restrictions again.
All of this also makes people realize that it's easy to take Lynch, but the price is a bit hurtful.
No one has thought about touching Lynch, not to mention whether it can hurt him or not, the chain reaction brought about by touching him may make some things slip into an uncontrollable abyss.
So even if Governor Seder had some speculation, or even determined that Lynch had nothing to do with these things, he couldn't do anything with Lynch, especially since he didn't have any substantive evidence to prove Lynch and these things. things matter.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Governor Seder's son has set foot on Commonwealth lands.
The distance from Ammelia to the Commonwealth is very short, passing through the Upper Strait and continuing north is the southern coast of the Commonwealth. One day is enough.
As the son of the Governor of Anmelia Province, this young man, who does not yet have his own name, alerted the Security Committee and the Intelligence Bureau as soon as he entered the country, and the local Security Committee sent people to make tentative contacts~ IndoMTL.com~ If he is here to do bad things, then warn him first, don't do bad things, he will definitely be arrested for doing bad things.
If he is here to do good deeds, send someone to help him do good deeds together, and prevent him from encountering accidents in the Commonwealth.
This is not Gavra. Even the thugs dare not attack him in the name of a noble. In the eyes of the gang members of the Federation, as long as the benefits are big enough and they can bear the cost of doing things later, there is nothing. It's something they dare not do.
When the two agents approached the young man from Amelia, he seemed to be mentally prepared, not flustered at all, and even smiled.
"Good morning, gentlemen, I'm here to talk business, big business!"
"So you'd better report as soon as possible, don't waste our time with each other!"
