President Barack is much more diligent than the defense minister. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As soon as it was dawn, he made his coffee, leaned back on the couch, half-covered with a blanket, and browsed through a large pile of papers.

It was his only private leisure, and once it was seven o'clock, he would begin the day, surrounded by the crowd. Of course, if nothing else.

Bell bell bell ......

The golden turntable phone on the table rang anxiously, and his brow furrowed. It must be a very urgent situation to disturb his rest at this time.

Answering the phone, the Minister of Defense said a few words in a hurried voice. His face changed suddenly, and after hanging up the phone, he walked to the bed with a frown, staring out the window at the vast darkness of the night.

"Erik, get ready to go. ”

At seven o'clock in the morning, President Barack canceled all of today's itinerary and rushed to the Pentagon's strategic command center with all his staff officers, press officers, and clerks.

From the discovery of the monster to the arrival of the president himself, it was an hour. Colonel Thomas and the intelligence system obtained further information.

The two monsters act collectively and approach the casino city of Las Vegas, a world-famous bustling metropolis, at breakneck speed. All six towns that passed through were devastated. Thanks to the timely warning issued by the intelligence services, large-scale casualties were avoided.

The destroyed towns were mostly cowboys, with few people and strong mobility, so they were able to escape in one piece. But Las Vegas, the casino, is completely different, prosperous at the same time, but also represents bloated.

If these two monsters get there, I'm afraid they will really stage the disaster of the century - the destruction of the casino.

The space command sent three aerial reconnaissance planes, several unmanned aerial vehicles, equipped with live cameras, to shoot with infrared and thermal imaging lights, and return the images to the command center.

A team of experts, including biology, prehistory, zoology, cytology, microbiology, chemistry, physics, and other fields, is intensively carrying out research based on the information at hand.

"Colonel," one of the researchers shouted, "come and see this!"

Thomas lunged behind him and looked over his shoulder at the infrared image as he crashed into a 30-story building on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

"It's crazy, it must be crazy. The colonel said.

"No, it's terrible. ”

The operator sitting in front of the monitor turned pale, and the building shook and collapsed like a felled tree.

"What's going on!"

President Barack's scalp tingled, and he grabbed Colonel Thomas by the shoulder and yelled, "What the hell is going on? Where did this monster come from?"

Before his roar was over, Admiral Taylor, who was not far away, shouted into the phone: "Who allowed you to fire, stupid, really stupid." ”

"Taylor, what's going on?"

Admiral Taylor blushed and scolded: "That monster is less than a kilometer away from the building, and a fool who was urgently stationed in the building fired a rocket at it!"

"What about civilians?"

Admiral Taylor said hatefully: "An emergency evacuation is underway, and it will be completed in ten minutes." It's a tragedy. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Elle, Barack's press secretary, a beautiful and shrewd strong woman, rushed into the command center and said anxiously: "Press TV Network, get a close-up video of the monster. I tried to stop them, but failed. They were going to broadcast this amazing thing to the people. ”

The president frowned, waved his hand irritably, and said, "Leave them alone." Immediately convene an emergency meeting. ”

The Oval Office was attended by Chief of Staff Parker, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Taylor, and Secretary of Defense Bosque, as well as a number of staff officers.

"I would like to remind you," said General Taylor, with his hands on the table and a serious face, "that this is the greatest crisis we have ever faced. It's unclear where the monsters came from, or what they're for. But reality tells us that they have unimaginable power. It's not a movie, it's true. ”

"Yes, General Taylor. The president sighed deeply, as the head of a world power, he has always been very confident. Even if the mighty Oros wanted to start a war, he would not panic.

But now, there was an unconcealed weakness in his tone, and he said, "That monster may not just pass by. However, it is our responsibility to prepare for the worst, just in case. In the absence of definite information, we must assume that the monster is not a good person. In view of this, I solemnly suggest that all armed forces be used to attack first. ”

Defense Minister Bosque, who is approaching retirement age, has always remained silent. He was a brave soldier on the battlefield, a veteran of the four dynasties in the White House, presidents, you sang and I appeared, and he was as steady as Mount Tai.

He was not very liked, but his words were not taken lightly. He is a tough and wise conservative, not a slippery politician, and the question he is thinking about is not whether he dares to fight, but whether he can win.

If there is no ninety percent certainty of victory, a rash attack will lead to the most terrible result.

Bosque pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. Please think carefully, we are currently very short of information, and it is easy to make a big mistake if we launch an attack rashly. If the attack fails, it will set itself on fire. And even if they succeed, who can guarantee that they have no companions?"

After saying this, he shook his head again and said: "But we agree, be ready for all attacks, including ICBMs." ”

Press Officer Ellie rushed into the conference room with a thick stack of materials in her hand.

"Ellie, what did you find?" President Barack looked at him and motioned for her to join the discussion: "Are the results of the study out?"

"Gentlemen," said Elle, sitting next to the Minister of Defence, sorting through the papers, "and there is a lot of talk in the press. n threatens to imply to the public that we conduct evil biochemical experiments. ”

"What a damn crumb. ”

General Taylor cursed.

"What about the others?" said Barack, who wanted a clue and Ellie was another tricky problem.

General Taylor slapped the table and said loudly, "I think we should take action, otherwise, once the people know about it, it will lead to a series of serious consequences." ”

At this time, Elle opened the file in her hand and revealed a shocking news: "According to CIA intelligence, the monster is from the Nellis Mordell hangar. They sent someone to investigate, and beneath the ruins of the hangar was an underground laboratory, unimaginably large. Deciphered hard drive data initially revealed that they were conducting biomodification experiments. ”

"Who instructed it?"

Barack's face was pale, if it was really as Ellie said, these two monsters came from the evil experiments of the United States, once the truth was known by the people, the entire United States government would lose face, the downfall would be light, and they were all criminals.

"It's not clear yet. Ellie looked at General Taylor cautiously, hesitated for a long time, and added, "A mercenary was found in the laboratory, who used to belong to the Navy SEALs. ”

General Taylor was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "There are too many retired soldiers, and they may not have anything to do with the military." ”

Involving the military, Barack's heart tightened, and he turned aside the topic and said, "Are there any other clues?"

"The rest of the material is being deciphered in full swing. ”

Defense Minister Bosque was silent, and General Taylor's face was a little embarrassed.

Barack said, "For the time being, it's good news. At least we figured out where he showed up. The rest of the information is a clue, maybe they are just giant creatures, like sharks in the sea. ”

Elle went on to report, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency. There is also bad news, at 8:30 this morning, a great white shark appeared in the waters of Hawaii. ”

"Oh, great white sharks?" Belak suddenly became uneasy, there was no way Elle could describe an inconsequential great white shark to them at this time.

"Yes, Your Excellency. It is nearly seventy feet long, and so far it has capsized six cruise ships, two transport ships, and one warship. ”

Barac's face turned even more ugly.

"And, Your Excellency. ”

Elle whispered, "And ......"

General Taylor said weakly, "Say it, tell all the bad news at once." ”

"Well, there have been whale plagues in the waters of Alaska, in the waters of Washington and Oregon, in the waters of Northern, Southern, and Central California. ”

"Whale plague?"

"Yes. Schools of killer whales drive schools of fish and harass boats in the waters. According to eyewitness reports, the largest was eighty feet long and the smallest was twenty feet long. ”

"Anything else?"

Barack's eyes were blank, and he looked at Elle with a blank expression, dazed and a little frightened. The sense of fear in the primitive nature of human beings, which usually lurks in the unconscious, now emerges.

Defense Minister Bosque broke the dead silence: "Mr. President, the enemy is encircling us. Like it or not, we must move to level 1 combat readiness. Even if it causes panic, we must immediately call in our troops and stand by urgently. ”

There was silence in the room, and no one could disagree. (To be continued.) )
