Chapter 75 Chapter Seventy-Five

"What's going on? Why didn't they answer?" Connie looked at Old Walker, then at Shirley. "Is it broken?" Shirley picked up the small knob and carefully looked at the scratches of the white paint around it to see if it was accidentally touched, and the position of the knob was shifted, "Walker, the radio was broken by us." Yet?" "No, it's fine," he said.Holding the earphones against his face, he looked at the parts on the workbench one by one. "Hey, I'm afraid time is running out." Ko Ni looked at the people on the generator outside the window.Shirley stood up, bent over to approach the window, and looked at the side door.She saw Jenkins and his men already inside, guns slung over their shoulders.He was yelling at the others.The windows are soundproof, so I can't hear him shouting.

"Hey?" Suddenly a sound came out of the earphone in Old Walker's hand.His hands were shaking, and the voice sounded like it was shaking too. "Who are you?" He quickly pressed the call button, "Who are you?" Shirley rushed to Old Walker and hugged his hand.She couldn't believe it. "Juliet!" she yelled. Old Walker raised his hand, told both Connie and Shirley to keep quiet, and then pressed the call button.His hands were shaking so badly. "Zo'er?" He choked up and said.Shirley grabbed his arm tightly. "is it you?"

The other party suddenly fell silent, and then they heard sobbing from the speakers, "Walker? Walker? Is that you? How are you doing over there? Where are you? I thought—" "Where is she?" Shirley whispered in Old Walker's ear. Ko Ni stared at the two of them, holding her face in her hands, dumbstruck. Old Walker pressed the call button again: "Zo'er, where are you?" There was a sigh in the earphones.Her voice sounded weak and far away. "Walker, I'm in another bunker. There are more bunkers out there. You can't believe it—" Her voice was muffled by another burst of static.Shirley leaned next to Old Walker, while Koni paced back and forth, checking the radio and looking out the window.

"We know there are other bunkers." Old Walker held the microphone close to his mouth. "We can hear them, Joe. We can hear them all." He let go of the call button.Juliet's voice came out again: "Are you all right—? Mechanical and electrical district—I know there is a fight over there, how is it going?" At this moment, they heard Juliet turn her head and say something to the people next to her, but they couldn't hear clearly. Old Walker's eyes widened when he heard her mention the war. "Who did she hear it from?" Shirley asked. "I wish she was here," Koni said. "Joey must know what to do."

"Tell her quickly, Jenkins and the others are going to modify the exhaust pipe." Shirley waved her hand at the microphone, "Come on, let me talk about it." Old Walker nodded, and handed the earphone and communicator to Shirley. Shirley pressed the call button and found that the button was tight: "Joey? Can you hear me? I'm Shirley." "Shirley—" Juliet's voice trembled a little, "Hey, are you there too?" Hearing Juliet's emotional tone, Shirley couldn't help but burst into tears. "Yeah——" she lowered her head and swallowed her tears, "Hey, listen to me, someone on our side is going to guide the exhaust gas into the air-conditioning pipe in the information area, but do you still remember that the exhaust gas from the generator last time Insufficient back pressure? I'm afraid the generator will-"

"No." Juliet interrupted her suddenly, "You have to stop them. Shirley, did you hear that? You have to hurry up and stop them. It's useless. The air-conditioning duct goes to the server room, and There's only one person there—" She cleared her throat at this point. "Listen, hurry up and stop them—" Shirley groped for a long time to find the red call button, and Old Walker hurried over to help her, but she found it quickly. "Wait a minute," she said, "how did you know the air-conditioning pipe went to—" "Anyway, I just know. The structure of this bunker is exactly the same as ours. Damn, you go and find them, I have to tell them myself, absolutely can't let them—"

Shirley pressed the call button again. At this moment, she heard a boom from the generator outside, and Ko Ni immediately opened the door and rushed out. "Connie's gone," she said. "She's gone to them. Joey—how did you—? Is there anyone else on your side? Can they help us? Things aren't going well here." The small speaker of the headset rang again.Shirley heard Juliet take a deep breath, and heard other people talking, and she seemed to be directing others what to do.Shirley could tell that her best friend was exhausted and seemed sad. "We can't help you here." Juliet said, "There is no one here. There is only one adult and a few children. Everyone is dead. The people in this bunker can't even save themselves." She stopped suddenly, and then she pressed the call button again. "You must stop them, tell them not to fight anymore," she said, "whatever it takes, please—not for me, please stop fighting—"

At this time, the door was pushed open with a "crash", and Ko Ni came back.Shirley heard shouting from the generator, heard gunshots. "What's the matter?" asked Juliet. "Where are you?" "In the control room." Shirley looked up at Ko Ni.Connie's eyes widened with horror. "Zoo'er, I'm afraid time is running out. I—" She had a lot to say.She wanted to tell her that Mark was dead.She needs more time. "They're coming in to get us." It was the last thing she could say. "It's good to know you're safe."

Then Juliet's voice came over the radio again, "Oh, God, tell them to stop calling. Stop calling! Shirley, listen to me—" "It's too late." Shirley pressed the call button, raised her hand to wipe her tears, "They won't stop." The gunshots were getting closer and closer, and could be heard through the thick door.Now, she's holed up in the control room talking to someone who everyone thought was dead, while her workers are dying outside.Her men were dying. "Take care of yourself," Shirley said. "Wait a moment!" Shirley handed the headset to Old Walker, then walked over and stood by the window with Connie, and saw a large group of workers hiding behind the generator, holding their guns against the railing, trembling all over, and the barrels of the guns were also trembling.There was a worker in blue lying on the ground.He is dead.Then, they heard continuous gunshots in the distance, faintly.

"Zoo!" Old Walker grabbed the radio, calling her name, desperately trying to talk to her. "Go to the people in the information section, and I will tell them myself!" Juliet was still shouting, her voice sounded so far away. "Walker, why do I only hear your voice and not theirs? I want to talk to the security officer, Peter or Hank. Walker, how can you talk to me? I want to talk to them!" Old Walker told her how he welded and how he used magnifying glasses.The old man began to cry, holding the radio parts and wires in his arms like a wounded child, rocking them and whispering to them.His tears dripped dangerously on the circuit board.

While he was talking to Juliet, more workmen in blue coats fell, hanging from the railing, and dropped their rifles to the ground.The enemies who have broken their hearts have entered.everything is over.Shirley grabbed Connie's hand, and the two hugged tightly.They could only stand there and watch, powerless.They heard the old Walker's sobs behind them, mixed with the gunshots outside that became more and more scattered, all of which sounded like the final "rumble" of a huge dying machine, and everything was coming to an end——
