Amidst the cries one after another, Bernard woke up.The smoke from the explosion just stung his eyes. Peter Berning was shaking his shoulders and shouting at him, with a look of terror in his eyes, a black patch on his forehead, and a deep red pool of blood on his clothes. "Well, what's the matter?" "Sir! Can you hear me?" Bernard pushed Peter's hand away, struggling to stand up.He reached out and groped his body for a long time to see if there was any bleeding or any injuries.His head was throbbing, and he raised his hand to touch his nose and found that his hand was covered with blood.

"What happened?" he moaned. At this time, Peter squatted beside him, and Bernard immediately saw Lucas standing behind Peter, gun slung over his shoulder, looking back at the stairwell.There were shouts in the distance, and there were bursts of gunfire. "Three of us dead," said Peter, "and a few wounded. Sim's gone down with five or six men. The other side has more casualties. Much worse." Bernard nodded.Then he raised his hand to touch his ear, and suddenly found that his ear was also bleeding.He raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from his nose, then patted Peter on the arm, nodding behind Peter. "Call Lucas over here," he said.

Peter frowned, but nodded, and walked over to talk to Lucas.So Lucas came over and squatted beside Bernard. "Are you okay?" Lucas asked. Bernard nodded. "I was so confused," he said, "that I didn't think they'd have guns. And I should have guessed they'd have dynamite." "Don't get too excited." He shook his head: "I'm such an idiot for letting you stay here. What if we both—" "It's a good thing we're both alright, sir. We've driven them down. It's over, I suppose." Bernard patted his arm. "Help me to the server," he said. "I have to report this."

Lucas nodded.He knew which server Bernard was talking about.He helped Bernard to stand up, and Bernard put his hand on his shoulder.Peter Berning frowned, watching them walk in along the smoky corridor. "The situation is not good." Now it was just the two of them, Bernard finally said to Lucas. "But we won, didn't we?" "It's not a win. They will cause more damage later on, not just today. You have to stay here for a while." Bernard frowned, trying to walk by himself. "The two of us can't have an accident at the same time, and we must never take this risk."

When he heard that Bernard told him to stay below, Lucas seemed unhappy.He entered the password, took out the identification card, wiped off the blood on it, and the blood on his hand, and swiped it on the scanner. "I understand," he said finally. Bernard knew he had picked the right person.He told Lucas to close the door, and walked over to the innermost server by himself.When he passed server No. 8, he suddenly felt dizzy, stumbled, and almost hit the server, but he stood still in time, stopped and rested, and waited for the dizziness to disappear.Before he reached the innermost point, Lucas had already caught up, taking out his master key from the collar.

When Lucas opened the back panel of the server, Bernard rested against the wall.He was just stunned by the explosives, and he hasn't fully recovered yet, so he didn't notice that the warning light on the server panel was flashing, and there was still a "buzzing" in his ears, so he didn't hear the warning light on the server panel. Bursts of bells. "What's that?" Lucas asked. "What's that sound?" Bernard looked at him a little confused. "Is it a fire alarm?" Lucas pointed to the ceiling.At this time, Bernard finally heard it.He hurried to the back of the server, and Lucas happened to unlock the last lock.Bernard immediately pushed the young man away.that ringtone.Someone is calling.

is it possible?Did they already know?In just two days, Bernard's life suddenly fell into chaos.He reached into the cloth case, took out the pair of earphones, put them on his head, and inserted the connector into slot "1".Unexpectedly, what he heard was a "ringing" sound.That was the sound of the phone ringing, indicating that he was calling the first bunker, that is to say, the caller was not the first bunker. He quickly pulled out the connector and stopped calling.At this time, he took a closer look and found that the indicator light on the "1" slot was not on.The bright one is "17".

Bernard suddenly felt dizzy.An abandoned bunker calling him?Is anyone still alive?So many years?Moreover, that person actually knew about this secret server?His hands began to tremble as he slowly inserted the connector into the socket.Lucas seemed to be asking him something behind his back, but Bernard was wearing earphones and couldn't hear clearly. "Hello?" His voice was hoarse. "Hello? Anyone heard?" "Hi." Someone answered. Bernard moved the headphones on his head, then waved his hand to tell Lucas not to speak.His ears were still ringing, and nosebleeds were streaming into his mouth.

"Who are you?" he asked. "Did you hear it?" "I heard it." The voice said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the one I'm looking for, right?" "Who the hell are you?" Bernard snapped, "How do you know—" "You threw me out," said the voice, "you threw me out to die—" Bernard fell to the ground, his legs were sore and weak.The earphone cable was suddenly straightened, the length was not enough, and the earphone almost fell off his head.He quickly grabbed the earphones, racking his brains desperately to figure out who this person was.Lucas held his armpit to keep him from falling over.

"Are you still there?" the voice asked again. "Do you know who I am?" "I don't know," he said.Actually he knows.How could it be her?But he knew in his heart that it was her. "You fucking threw me out to die." "This is a rule, you know it very well!" Bernard shouted, "You know it very well-!" "Shut up! Bernard, listen. You fucking shut up and listen carefully." Bernard said nothing.He could taste the salty taste of blood in his mouth. "I'm going back to you. I'm going home. I'm going back and cleaning out the bunker."
