Chapter 388: Puppet Attack

"Boom."

A cup of coffee was placed on the table, and the rich aroma spread with the heat.

"Upton, your coffee."

"Thanks."

The man with glasses quickly took it and took a sip, then continued typing on the keyboard.

"Here, Zeke."

Veronica, the woman in red, handed another cup of coffee to the pony-tailed man.

Zeke, the pony-tailed man, took the coffee, frowned and asked, "You haven't found that woman yet?"

Veronica shook her head: "No. The forest has been checked five times. The sensors placed on the beach and shallow sea have not been touched. All places in the factory where people can hide have been found."

"Where's the sausage production workshop?"

"I've looked for it."

"cell?"

"Checked it too."

"Is there any place on the island that we haven't mastered? Secret rooms? Cave, dungeon?"

The man's voice became louder and louder, and no one in the room dared to speak for a moment.

No one knows the layout of this island better than the pony-tailed man Zeke.

Their surveillance is spread all over the island - except for everyone's dormitory and bathroom, which barely retains personal privacy, all other accessible places are under surveillance.

But an adult woman who didn't look too smart just disappeared from the island, and there was no trace of her. It was as incredible as her sudden appearance.

Zeke, the ponytail man, squinted his eyes and glanced around, his voice seemed to be mixed with ice.

"There's no way... someone is secretly helping her, right?"

He looked at the people around him one after another.

Veronica is also a woman, and sometimes sympathizes with the children on the island and secretly gives them a few candies.

Upton, a man with glasses, is short, fat, and has a cowardly personality. No woman likes him...and the blonde woman is stupid, but she is really good-looking.

What about everyone else on the island? Is he an undercover agent sent by the wizard? Or was it controlled by a wizard using magic?

I heard that there is a kind of love potion that can make people fall in love to death and even abandon their own family members...

The people he stared at with suspicious eyes shuddered unconsciously, fearing that they would be pulled in for interrogation next moment.

There are so many things on this island that make life worse than death.

Veronica quickly said: "Actually, I have always doubted, is that woman really still on the island?"

Facing the man's cold gaze, she said bravely: "Maybe she has escaped... After all, wizards can fly, become invisible, or turn into mermaids and leave the sea..."

Zeke stared at her with flashing eyes, and a layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on Veronica's forehead.

Upton, the man with glasses, suddenly saw the images from several surveillance cameras and was confused. He couldn't help but look closer, and the images quickly recovered.

——Maybe the camera was shaken by a bird?

He checked the signal transmitted by the sensor again. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the signal in several places was higher than usual... about ten percent higher...

He opened his mouth to speak, but sensing the tense atmosphere behind him, Upton wisely closed his mouth.

If Zeke finds that everything is normal after checking, then he will be the unlucky one who lied about the military information.

Zeke didn't notice Upton who was hesitant to speak. He frowned and said, "Then how do you explain the information in your friend's account?"

Hearing this, Veronica knew that he had the same guess as her. She breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a blank piece of paper from the table.

"The Book of Friends - this is a wizard's invention after all. Although the imitation products controlled by the alchemists above are very similar to the original products, they are not exactly the same."

"What if the hands and feet hidden above have been discovered? Then the message she sent is completely toying with us."

"We thought she was still on the island and concentrated our search efforts, but instead gave her a chance to escape..."

Veronica's voice was soft and her smile was charming. Upton unconsciously admired Veronica's curvy figure behind her through the reflection of the screen.

As he watched, he suddenly felt that something moved in the corner of his vision. Upton glanced at it——

It turned out to be a tabby cat playing with the camera.

——It’s a cat!

Upton looked away with relief, and looked at it for another two seconds. His heart jumped suddenly, as if his feet were suddenly empty.

——On the island, only Veronica keeps a white cat as a pet. Where is the civet cat?

He suddenly turned his head, and the figure of the civet cat had disappeared from the screen. Upton quickly called out all the cameras in the nearby area, and finally found the figure of the civet cat again.

The cat actually stood in front of the distribution box, opened the cover somehow, and raised its soft paws towards the cables.

The kitten, as big as a ball of wool, stood in a tall distribution box, baring its teeth and claws at the cables that were thicker than its tail. This scene should have been cute, but Upton had a bad feeling in his heart.

He couldn't help shouting: "Stop-"

Everyone in the room looked at him, wondering what he was shouting.

Zeke didn't make a move on Veronica, and the two even finally started drinking coffee.

But the civet cat on the screen naturally heard nothing. It waved its paw calmly, and a cold light flashed - the thick cable was broken into two parts, and the cut surface was very smooth.

The screen suddenly went black.

Upton sat blankly in his chair, unable to understand the scene he saw.

On the surrounding large screens, twenty or thirty surveillance screens turned black one after another, as if there was an extra mosaic.

"what happened?"

Zeke and others were shocked.

In response to them, more screens suddenly turned black, leaving only a few who were still working.

On the island, large areas lost their lights, the roaring machines stopped running, and the conveyor belts that had been running all over the area also stopped.

A boy with a gloomy face suddenly burst into hope. He made a whining sound and struggled desperately, but was firmly fixed on the bed by the restraints.

Several people wearing surgical protective clothing looked at each other in confusion.

"What's going on?"

"Power outage?"

"Wait a moment, maybe it's equipment maintenance."

The voices of several people spoke without any fluctuation, as if they had not seen the crying boy on the hospital bed at all.

A few minutes later, the backup generator started running, and the sound of metal equipment clashing reappeared in the room.

In another room, Hailey looked up at the brightened electric light. Her pupils shrank as if they were stabbed, and she hurriedly raised her little hands to cover her eyes.

Next to her, a chubby woman sat. She smiled and said, "Maybe the circuit connection is not stable... Don't worry about it, let's continue reading, okay?"

Hailey asked softly: "After reading, can I go back?"

The fat woman asked strangely: "What are you going to do when you go back? Do you like the prison cell?"

"I don't like it." Hailey shook her head and said, "But Maybelle is still waiting for me!"

The fat woman touched her soft hair and said, "Maybelle has Maybelle's mission, and you also have your destination. Be obedient, Hailey."

Hailey's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

The fat woman praised: "Good boy."

The two sat quietly for a while, the only sound in the room was the sound of turning books.

Hailey was very thirsty, but she looked up at the woman and didn't dare to ask for water.

She lowered her head again.

The picture book in hand is the story of Little Red Riding Hood being eaten by the big bad wolf and rescued by the hunter.

In the corner of the picture book, someone wrote a small, vague name in pencil.

【Salah】.

Haley remembered the strange, dark-skinned child in the room diagonally across from theirs.

Sometimes he would sing songs that no one could understand, and sometimes he would use broken English to describe various animals on the grassland to them, as well as stories about his fights with other children to get water.

It sounds like it's from another world.

Was he also taken to this place to read a book more than a month ago?

Suddenly, the door of the reading room was pushed open, and a woman in green clothes stood at the door.

"Bring her in."

she said.

Hailey stood up by the fat woman's hand. She turned around blankly and saw Little Red Riding Hood in the picture book being taken by a hunter and happily reunited with her grandmother.

The wind in the corridor moved the pages of the book, and with a roar, it turned into a scene of Little Red Riding Hood being swallowed up by the big bad wolf.

…

At this moment, most areas on the island have actually fallen into chaos.

Countless strange animals suddenly appeared. They had cute appearances and sharp claws that did not match their appearance.

With a single swipe, such thick cables and iron frames can be cut off. The automatic machine gun installed on the wall was cut into pieces before it had time to unleash its power.

Some sparrow-like birds swooped down from high altitude, and their sharp beaks pierced people's thighs like bullets. The guards holding guns fell to the ground and screamed.

The samurai with swords strode forward, and the woman who looked like a housekeeper broke the guard's arm with her pruning shears. There were also little people with long and short arms, and even puppets the size of fists, shouting and charging, with such strength that they could Slap adults away.

The weirdest thing is that the ones who attacked the base were brooms and dustpans——

The slender broom was obviously not controlled by anyone, but it was turning wildly, smashing the weapon and the person together.

The dustpan was beating like a hammer, causing the soldiers to run away with their heads in their hands.

Someone was not attacked for the time being and decisively picked up a gun to fight back. "Bang bang bang" gunfire sounded one after another.

The kitten, which had one of its legs broken, was still able to jump and attack vigorously with its remaining three legs.

Even if the other people or objects were hit by bullets, they seemed to feel no pain at all. They just paused for a moment and then immediately continued to attack.

Only a few will suddenly stop moving, fall down with a thud, and never make a sound again.

"Hit the heads! Hit the heads of these monsters!"

Someone successfully "killed" a leopard and hurriedly shared his experience loudly with others.

The soldier who was trying not to be thrown out by the wildly spinning broom cried: "Where is the head of this thing? Tell me where it is?"

Those thin branches on the broom head don't look like they are vital.

The next second, the soldier left an arc of diagonal throwing movement in the air.

But not everyone is as unlucky as him. Most of the attackers have a body part called a head.

So the originally scattered bullets immediately focused on the head, and the head of the maid at the front was almost turned into a sieve.

The soldier in front of it smiled with joy and shouted: "Go to hell, monster!"

Then, he received a heavy blow on the face, and his whole body was almost embedded in the ground.

There was silence.

As everyone watched in horror, the headless maid reached out and touched the remaining half of her head, and suddenly turned on the violent mode, frantically attacking the soldiers around her.

Everyone was almost scared out of their wits, screamed, threw down their guns and ran away.

The maid roared and chased after her, and then there were all kinds of weird attackers.

A group of hounds that had just been released saw the headless maid running towards them, whimpered in fear, turned around and ran with their tails between their legs, leaving behind "嘤嘤嘤" screams all the way.

Everyone had no time to fight back, and only hated that they had two less legs.

"Buzz————"

The buzzing sound on the island suddenly sounded.

Everyone knew that when this sound sounded, it meant that a strong magnetic field was turned on on the island. Most people would stay quietly in the room at this time, and those who needed to go out on patrol would also wear radiation protection suits.

As everyone ran, they suddenly found that the shouting and killing behind them was much less.

They stopped hesitantly and turned around to see that the attackers who were so arrogant just now had fallen to the ground, like broken copper and rotten iron, and only a few of them could still make a dying struggle.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered, and some jumped over and stepped on the attackers and jumped twice.

They knew that the strong magnetic field would also harm their bodies, but so what? It was better than being killed by monsters.

At this time, while the puppets dispersed the people in the base, Wade and Dumbledore, who had already sneaked into the base, also heard the sound.

One of them held the table, and the other leaned against the wall, gritting their teeth and silently enduring.

The concrete wall and shielding suits have helped them block most of the damage, but even if there is only a little impact left, the feeling of being pricked by needles all over the body, including the internal organs, is definitely not pleasant.

Wade saw that the principal's arm was also trembling slightly, and he turned his eyes considerately.

It has nothing to do with whether the magic power is strong or not. In fact, the stronger the magic power, the more sensitive the perception, and the more uncomfortable it is at this time.

They couldn't even use spells like the Armor Charm or the Barrier Charm to resist - all magic that left the body would be disturbed.

Two or three seconds later, the buzzing sound finally stopped.

After a long while, Wade barely stood up, and cold sweat had soaked his back.

"It's amazing!" He couldn't help but say, unbuttoning the shielding suit and said: "The machine will take at least half an hour to cool down, this is our chance."

"Don't take off your cloak." Dumbledore stopped him and said: "Maybe they have similar weapons."

"...Yes." Wade put on the protective suit again, and then suddenly asked: "Professor, do you think... we still need to hold back on these people?"

On the table next to him were bloody photos.
