Rockefeller Jr. knew very well that it was impossible for Cheng Yuan to personally send someone over to enter the Pentagon to check the contents for him.

If he wanted to know, he had to send someone himself. At that moment, he instructed his current head bodyguard to complete this task.

The head of the bodyguard, Evan did not set off immediately after receiving the order, and after walking out of the villa of Rockefeller Jr., he immediately took out his phone to contact his former colleagues.

Although the crisis of intelligent machinery has spread to the world and caused disasters to people in countless regions, war has become commonplace for those of them who have been licking blood at gunpoint all year round.

Because of habits, the chances of such people surviving disasters are much higher than those of ordinary people. After all, this disaster is not a natural disaster, but a war!

......

In November, the temperature in Washington has begun to gradually decrease.

On a pothole-ridden and dilapidated street, dusty abandoned cars nearly blocked the street, and the broken buildings on both sides were already crawling with vines.

A group of heavily armed men was moving quickly, but although the steps of the group were fast, their expressions were relaxed.

"Boss, don't those intelligent machines never pay attention to hygiene?" a young complaining voice sounded in the team.

The quiet, dilapidated street didn't make them nervous to pay attention to their surroundings, because the situation on the street was a direct response.

That is, there are no smart machines here!

Although intelligent machines don't care about the surrounding environment, they can at least clear the road to maximize efficiency.

Through this, these battle-hardened mercenaries will naturally make themselves as relaxed as possible. Unlike humans, intelligent machines are so large that they can detect them from a distance due to their body structure.

When there is no threat, they naturally choose to communicate to ease the silence of moving forward. After all, they are mercenaries, not soldiers.

The corner of Ai Wen's mouth glanced at him, as the leader, he was not as relaxed as his own team members, although he talked and laughed like these people on the surface, but in fact, there was a sense of urgency in his heart.

It has been a month since the boss gave the order, and the young boss has become a little impatient, which makes Evan anxious.

It is difficult to find good jobs in this society now, especially those with such good conditions. It's a little more dangerous, but isn't their previous job dangerous?

At that moment, he replied angrily: "Messy means we are safe, so you should feel lucky, if you touch those things, how many of us do you think will survive? Those things are not afraid of these things in our hands!"

Evan slapped the pitch-black and shiny firearm in his hand expressionlessly.

His attitude made the hearts of all the mercenaries froze, and the smiles on their faces weakened a little, because what Evan said was very correct.

Those intelligent machines are not capable of manpower at all if they do not have high-end equipment such as individual armor. And naturally, it is impossible for them to get such a thing as individual armor.

So, if they encounter intelligent machines before they reach the Pentagon, then they have no choice but to escape.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Ai Wen waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's speed up, we'd better pray not to touch those damn things!"

"Of course, luckily, someone has already explored the way for us. ”

Interrupted by Aven like this, everyone was not interested in chatting, and the group quickened their pace and walked towards the Pentagon.

......

The Pentagon, which has not been cleaned up for several years, seems to have been built in the deep forest, and the main body of the building has been covered with a huge group of vines, and even the weeds on the roadside of the complex have grown to the knees.

When Ai Wen and his party arrived nearby, they were obviously relieved, although the next mission had just officially begun, but compared to the mission, they were more worried about encountering intelligent machines on the way here.

Anyway, they were lucky enough not to run into those damn tin bumps along the way.

"Boss, what do you do next, sneak in?" On the balcony of a building about a kilometer away from the Pentagon, Evan and his party watched with binoculars.

There were no guards outside the Pentagon, and it was empty and bleak, and it was completely incomparable with the situation of five steps and ten steps and one post.

Instead of speaking, Evan gestured to a man with gray eyes in the team, and the man took out a pure black laptop from his backpack without saying a word, and his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.

Soon, the computer showed a map of the overall structure of the Pentagon. After the structure map came out, the man tapped the keyboard a few more times, marking a total of three routes, and then he turned to Evan and said, "Boss, we can't determine the exact distribution of cameras outside the Pentagon, I think diving underground is the best option." ”

"Underground?" Evan frowned, but did not refuse, as a mercenary, as long as he could complete the task, he didn't care.

"Specifically, that route is the fastest. ”

Aiwen's words made everyone involuntarily put their heads close to the man's computer.

The man clicked on the keyboard a few times, and the three road maps were enlarged, and he explained to the crowd: "All three routes lead to the main building of the Pentagon, one is an underground ventilation pipe, one is a drainage pipe, and one is an underground safe passage that they have created." ”

"The fastest of the three lanes is naturally the safe one, but I think this one must be manned and the other two might be better. ”

The man finished his analysis, and before Evan could say what to do, a black mercenary, Pellegui, stood up and looked at everyone suspiciously.

"Hey, guys, our mission is to get the two bastards on the profile, we don't have to go into that building, do we?"

However, as soon as Pellegi's words came out, he was ruthlessly interrupted by another person, "I'm sorry, Pellegui, although the mission is only two people, we have to go in. ”

The person who spoke had a well-developed muscle, thick and powerful exposed arms, and held the muzzle of the gun in both hands, he shrugged and said: "First of all, according to the records of the data, the last time the two bastards in your mouth walked out of the building was two months ago!

"Secondly, we don't have a lot of food to replenish, and it's close to the Pentagon, but look at the streets around the building. The strong man pointed to the clean streets around the Pentagon, his tone a little more solemn.

"Look at the streets, and think about the road we walked when we came. His words made the nerves of the mercenary team tense up at once.

None of the mercenaries were fools, and they instantly understood what the strong man meant.

"Made, there may be intelligent machines around, no wonder these people rarely come out after they go in!" Pellegui also realized the fundamental problem at this time, and he spat out and scolded angrily.

Ai Wen said at this time: "So, we don't have much time, attack in, it's best to find the secret of this building, then we can overcomplete the task." If not, then take our goal with us as much as possible!"

"Actually, I've always been curious, why didn't the boss just send some more people over, and it wouldn't be long before we directly occupied this place? Now is not the time for the U.S. government to take charge, as long as we have money, we can organize a team stronger than them to attack it!"

After Evan finished speaking, the strong man spoke again, but his words made all the mercenaries stunned, and then looked at Evan .

At this time, Evan also realized that the strong man's words were indeed very constructive, and now there are no tens of thousands of American soldiers stationed in this vicinity, and there is no powerful naval military base on the surrounding coast to be on guard at all times, ready to carry out long-range strikes.

However, he can't say that his boss didn't think of this at all, or that his boss was negligent.

He thought for a moment and explained, "Our current boss is an American, he is very prestigious in the United States, and although your idea is very good, he can't do it, understand?"

Aven's explanation is simple, and there is no detailed explanation of why. But all the mercenaries nodded their heads as if they didn't understand, indicating their understanding.

It's not that they don't dig deeper, it's that they don't care at all, and in this chaotic and disorderly era, money is the most important thing.

As long as the Rockefellers can pay them enough commissions so that they can live well, what kind of task does it matter?

The next group began to organize their equipment and prepare for action.

And just as they were preparing, the people in the Pentagon did not know it, led by two scientists, and most of them were gathered on the 12th floor underground.

Originally, this floor was used as a research room, but at this time it has been converted into a small temporary factory, and assembly lines are neatly installed here.

"Michael, how's the restart going?" asked a man in a suit and leather as he approached one of the scientists.

The man's blonde hair was meticulously combed, and there was a look of indifference on his hard-line face, and his inquiring voice was flat, but the hoarse voice was chilling.

Michael is no different from the average scientist, with messy hair, black-rimmed glasses, and no different from the stubble and weeds that have not been cleaned up for a long time.

Michael shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Anthony. These lines require authorization to operate, and we can't crack them yet. Moreover, it is safest for me not to start these lines anymore, and we cannot guarantee that what is produced will be at our command. ”

Glancing at Anthony, who was still expressionless, Michael mustered up a little courage and continued: "Once the things we create get out of control, it is very likely to lead to even greater disasters, I say this, do you understand?"

However, Michael's words did not make Anthony waver, he still said calmly: "Michael, you are a good scientific researcher, but you don't forget your identity, your task is to restart it and get it to work, you don't need to worry about the rest, understand!?"

In the end, Anthony's words were almost threatening, but his threats were very effective, and Michael nodded his head in an instant to show that he understood, and then turned around with his colleagues to continue his research.

Seeing Michael continue his research, Anthony turned to leave, and after walking up the elevator, he took out the phone, "Sir, the problem of the production line has not been solved yet, I think I need more researchers here." ”

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the line, and then a voice rang: "Anthony, you should know that researchers are very difficult to find right now, but I will try to meet your needs." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Anthony had just finished the call, on the other side of the distant sea, in the technology crystallization company, Zero suddenly said to Cheng Yuan, who was observing the situation on Mars: "Sir, I just intercepted a call, it's in the Pentagon, and those people seem to have really found something there and are studying it." ”

"They didn't explain the specific situation?" Cheng Yuan turned around in surprise and asked.

Zero shook his head, "No, but according to my guess, it should be some modification technology left over from some intelligent machinery." ”

Cheng Yuan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Then just ignore them for now and continue to stare at them." Our project in Donghai City has taken a month, and the infrastructure has been built, and now all that remains is the construction of the portal, which is a very huge project!"

"Besides, we not only need to build the same project in Donghai City, but also on Mars, and the number of intelligent robots is no problem?"

Zero frowned and said, "Sir, the number is not a problem, I think you should go and communicate with the higher-ups in person, after all, the super large fusion reactor needed by the portal is more worthy of our attention." After all, although it has a lot of energy, it is also very dangerous!"

Zero One reminded Cheng Yuan that this problem really needs to be solved, and the safety of nuclear fusion reactors is definitely not negligible.

Although the higher-ups agreed to the portal's plan, they must have to pull the skin again on this issue! Although they can guarantee that there will be no problems, the people above will not let him come 100% because of one of his promises!
