(Sorry, a few words.) ☆ →, usually I don't think I should always explain the direction of the plot, after all, it affects the freshness. But I don't know if I'm writing too vaguely or if everyone is anxious, there are always friends who feel water. These chapters are mainly written about Li Jie's incomplete test specimens to test the external reaction, collect information and explore the way, not water. )

Arlington County, Virginia.

Headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (defense_advanced_research_projects_agency).

This building, which looks no different from most commercial buildings on the outside, is home to the most research-obsessed scientists, world-class project managers and top elite technicians from the United States, who are committed to exploring cutting-edge concepts in national defense and military science and technology, and are the technical management departments of major and special scientific and technological research projects of the US Department of Defense.

A furious roar rang out, and a man in a motorcycle suit roared towards him in a cool all-black heavy locomotive, speeding into the underground parking lot. After taking off his helmet, revealing a gray half-length hair, this biker turned out to be an old man over the age of six, revealing an alternative coolness.

The old knight skillfully walked through the parking lot with his helmet, swiped his identification card, pressed the elevator to the 11th floor, turned into his office on the right, and opened the door to see a man sitting in his usual familiar position, with his back to him.

"What wind is blowing you?"

The old knight didn't show the slightest hint of surprise, casually put his helmet on the shelf in the doorway, and unzipped his biker jacket.

"Still so sharp in response, not a little surprised?"

The visitor turned the back of the chair towards him. The image of a handsome middle-aged man is revealed. The years can't hide his charm in the slightest. The short blonde hair looked heroic, and the eyes sparkled with a terrifying light.

"Marlowe? Chaplin. Who else but you guy can fool my dear Leila into opening the office door. With a wry smile, the knight stepped forward and shook his hand.

"Old friend."

"Atley."

Marlow? Chaplin is more than 190 centimeters tall, dressed in a straight suit, and every ironing line is straight and neat, but he has a completely different temperament from ordinary business elites. The first reaction of anyone at the sight of this man is hardness. As indestructible as a piece of granite, it's hard to shake.

He looked at the old knight Atley's tough motorcycle suit and smiled: "Still riding Bonneville?" ”

"I sold the 67 and got a Piperburn." As he spoke, Atley turned behind his desk and sat down.

"That's a good car, when will it take me for a ride." Marlow? Chaplin raised an eyebrow, looking very interested.

"Come on, to put it bluntly, you don't look like someone who visits old friends." Atley knew the old friend's temperament. Like themselves, they are all alternatives to the military. I prefer to use my free time to pick up girls and be chic. It's just that he is a spear for attacking fortifications, and he is responsible for logistics research and development.

"It makes me so sad that you say that." Marlow? Chaplin shrugged his shoulders, and his face did not look sad, but his expression became serious. "There was a serial vicious homicide in Los Angeles last night."

Atley's expression did not change at all, he just nodded, quietly watching him wait for the following, how could an ordinary homicide case make the chief commissioner of the Special Operations Division of the Ministry of Defense bother.

Similar to DARPA, the Special Operations Service is also subordinate to the U.S. Department of Defense, but independent of the various services, with the difference that DARPA and the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force are all customer relationships, while the Special Operations Service is a special department directly under the Department of Defense.

Marlow? Chaplin put his hand in his pocket and continued:

"A seemingly mentally ill man went on a killing spree on the high street, killing more than seven civilians and thirteen armed Los Angeles police officers with his bare hands before mysteriously disappearing."

Atley finally reacted, and he frowned in contemplation:

"Sounds a bit like something that only you Special Operations guys can do, or did some uninteresting guy sneak in? But I still don't see what this case has to do with me. ”

Marlow? Chaplin shook his head and answered him very seriously: "Our people will not attack civilians, you listen to this eyewitness recording first." ”

He lifted his suit jacket, took out a black mobile phone from his inner pocket, and put it on the table a few times, and a moment later a man's voice came from inside.

"It was about seven o'clock in the evening...... I'm watching TV in the store...... Suddenly, there was a chaotic noise outside...... I didn't pay attention at first...... Thought it was the drunken guys who were messing around again...... I saw that the strange man directly bit off the woman's neck...... My God! I saw the police shoot him...... He grabbed the policeman and flew straight into the opposite ...... I swear it's definitely flying...... That must be the devil...... It's the devil ......"

The staccato recordings didn't work particularly well, and the speaker was clearly very emotional, bordering on hysterical, and a little incoherent when speaking, but still able to hear a lot.

Atley's face darkened: "Those monsters that came out of nowhere?" ”

As the head of DARPA's Genetic Technology Division, Artley? Hopson is definitely an authority on genetics, and he was one of the first to come into contact with information about the elusive monsters, the only pity is that not a single physical specimen has been captured so far. These monsters seem to have special means and know how to avoid the eyes and ears of the military.

Marlow? Chaplin put his phone away and put it in his pocket, shaking his head slowly but firmly:

"I'm not sure. I looked through all the police interrogation records and local cameras, and the guy didn't show any weirdness all the time. And although those monsters were equally ferocious before, they were very careful, and they never acted blatantly in public like this time. But one thing is certain, although he is not flying, he is not much worse, and that kind of strange ability of action is definitely not something that humans can do. Now, you know why I'm coming to you? ”

This starts with the Department of Defense's unique positioning of DARPA, which aims to "maintain America's technological leadership and prevent potential adversaries from surpassing it unexpectedly." In other words, it is not only aimed at meeting the actual needs of the military, but also for perceiving the potential needs of the military in the future and exploring cutting-edge technologies in the future.

Many of DARPA's previous research projects have been ridiculed as "unbelievable fantasies" and "whimsical dreams", but with the efforts of these mad scientists, they have become reality one by one. The Internet, semiconductors, UNIX, lasers, global positioning systems (GPS), and many other major scientific and technological achievements that were once considered "disruptive" can be traced back to DARPA funded projects.

So to put it bluntly, DARPA, or Pre-Research Bureau, is an institution that researches future technologies, including the "Super Soldier Program", which is still considered impossible by many to this day, and is also one of its research projects. With a high sensitivity to cutting-edge technologies gained from independent assessment needs, supplemented by a scientific management model, efficient implementation agencies and strict evaluation mechanisms, DARPA has identified many high-risk, high-value, and high-return projects, and has always focused on exploring the future to ensure the continuous emergence of innovative fruits.

And now, Marlowe? Chaplin apparently wanted Dappa to help him provide or gather as much information as he could about these monsters, grabbing their pigtails so that they could never jump so merrily again.

Atley? With a little helplessness, Hopson rubbed his temples repeatedly, obviously having a headache: "Although our super soldier plan has made a breakthrough, it is far from reaching the level of those monsters, could it be that those old opponents on the other side of the sea are really ahead of us this time?" ”

Marlow? Chaplin had expected it before he came, and he didn't look much disappointed when he heard this reply. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said categorically: "It's okay, when we catch this guy, you can study it as you like." ”

Atley nodded, and began to pick up the phone at hand to arrange personnel, although they didn't know much information, they also had many other ways to cooperate with the Special Operations Division. (To be continued......)
