Chapter: 6024

Hank's expression changed slightly before he said hastily, "This...this shouldn't happen. I've checked the circuit beforehand, and everything is underground transmission, very safe, and we have a heavy guard here..."

Before Hank finished saying "heavy guard", his eyes suddenly turned pitch black!

He subconsciously asked, "Is it out?"

The sudden blackout filled the three pairs of eyes in the darkness with a momentary glow of suspicion.

Just as Hank was standing there, dazed and confused in the pitch black, a loud and chaotic voice came from the intercom.

Someone said, "How can it be out?! Our monitoring equipment has all stopped functioning!"

Someone echoed, "All detection equipment has also stopped working, the control room sees nothing, the enemy recognition system is down!"

Someone asked, "What's going on?! This villa doesn't have two power lines?"

Someone replied, "What's the point of having two or three lines? Now that the power is out, we're in a critical situation! Where are the people responsible for backup systems?! Why didn't they prepare an emergency power source?"

Someone cursed, "No one ever said to set up an emergency power source! Even if it's the FBI executing a task, as long as it's not going to the Middle East or Afghanistan, they won't bring an emergency power source every time! How can so many devices and high-power equipment be satisfied? Generators like those from Cummins or Deutz?! Should I just get a power truck to come over and use it for you?"

"Shit! Are you messing with me right now?"

"Messing with me? Do you know how powerful the monitoring systems are in the command room and on the rooftop? Just shut up, you're talking nonsense!"

Thanks to the sudden blackout, even this professional team is a bit bewildered.

For an estate district powered by two lines, it's hard to encounter a power outage once every 10 or 20 years.

And this villa was originally residential housing that the Rockefeller family bought just for monitoring the Zhōu Family Estate next door. From their perspective, this kind of behavior is like a group of tigers waiting to pounce on a mouse - completely crushing.

Moreover, we're only a few dozen kilometers from New York City, and completely within the Rockefeller family's stronghold. Everyone feels extremely safe here, except for worrying that the target they're after might sneak into Zhōu Family Villa without anyone noticing.

This kind of feeling is like setting up a trap to catch a criminal suspect - the only thing you worry about is whether the suspect won't show up or will get away, never thinking about them daring to enter your command center.

So when Hank first arrived here and did a security assessment, he never thought this place would be attacked.

Moreover, even if the power has already gone out, he didn't feel like this was someone trying to sneak up on them. Instead, he subconsciously felt that the other party must have deliberately caused the blackout to try and steal the Four Directions Treasure!

After all, the Rockefeller family's underlings, despite setting up a vast array of high-tech equipment capable of covering every angle with no blind spots, also had a major drawback: as soon as there was no power, everything would become useless.

Anyone who has played the game Red Alert will have a basic understanding that even if you build an enormous amount of cannons, laser towers, or SAM missiles, and your air defense rating is maxed out, if your electrical supply runs out, all equipment will lose all effectiveness.

When Hank first arrived here and did a security assessment, he never thought this place would be attacked.

But Steve Rockefeller didn't think that way at the time. He was too overconfident and completely lacked any sense of crisis.

When that's settled, he warned Hank, "Hank, don't take any rash actions! Wait until they bring out the Four Treasures and then take them down together! Remember, no matter what, you can't let them get away! And definitely not with the Four Treasures!"

Hank thought to himself, do I really need to be told this? But on his mouth, he said respectfully, "As instructed by Mr. Rockefeller! You can rest assured that even if our electricity is cut off temporarily, we have a large team monitoring the Zhou family and will absolutely not let them get away!" JrNovels.com
