Chapter 406: You Have New News (5)
David's rank within the military is not high enough, he doesn't even know what SP-005 is, he knows what the number of SP means, which is almost the top secret level of the military.
Zhao Xuan's goal was actually this, which made David feel like a sister-in-law of Xianglin, he felt that he was so stupid, really.
But David never thought that Zhao Xuan could actually find that level of internal response to the Ministry of Defense, and he even felt that with this level of internal response, Zhao Xuan couldn't afford to come to the Pentagon in person.
In his own words, David would rather think of a more secure way, he is the kind of young man who thinks that his wisdom should be superior to others. Zhao Xuan's rough way is simply against David's style, but it is this style that knocks the confident David off the clouds.
This has come to this, and there is no turning back. Although there was chaos in the Pentagon, David also knew that this chaos would not last long, and he was afraid that the chaos in the dark would be over without waiting for him to go down to the floor where the SP belonged.
Oldman's role is only now highlighted, and David finally sees that this old guy should be a skilled talent. If they were able to manipulate Athena to do something, they would have more time.
In this situation, it is estimated that Oldman will not end well, from the beginning the old man has never said a word, but at this time, it seems that he has already accepted everything, and he didn't even look back at Zhao Xuan.
David, who is well aware of the internal style of the Department of Defense, said that there must be a seemingly acceptable outcome in this matter, otherwise the US military will not be able to save face. Oldman is willing to stay here, and he must have this kind of intention.
At this point, David was no longer willing to think about why Zhao Xuan wanted to do this, and he was now curious about why someone was willing to follow Zhao Xuan to do this.
For money?
This kind of thing that makes a big fuss about the Ministry of Defense is done, and there is money to spend.
For the sake of fame?
It is likely that this matter will be crushed into the thick black archives of the Pentagon, and it will not be lifted until decades or even hundreds of years later.
Zhao Xuan behaved like a madman, and these people who followed her didn't look like crazy people at all. Everyone seemed sober and calm, and in terms of action, they were a few points better than the best spy David had ever seen.
Oldman didn't say anything to Zhao Xuan, but Zhao Xuan, who was already wearing a holographic helmet, turned around and made a thumbs-up gesture to Oldman.
This holographic helmet David had only heard of it before, but he did not expect that the Pentagon already had a finished product. If you think about it, it's not surprising that the Ministry of Defense is responsible for training personnel, and it's normal to have the best application equipment to try it out here first.
When the helmet is put on, the field of vision is replaced by a chip attached to the eye, where everything that the holographic helmet senses through the signal, and the entire world seems to be replaced by gray and white pixels, the structure of the room and the human form are marked like lines, and the temperature range is marked by numbers.
With the help of imaging instruments, David felt that for the first time his field of vision was beyond the limits of human beings, he felt that he could "see" at least more than 180 degrees around him.
There were only three people left in the team, and everyone was silent, following Zhao Xuan's footsteps.
Athena had apparently plugged into the imaging helmet system, and as she continued to move, there were more and more hints around her, and David felt that he almost had the mysterious feeling of being able to see a three-dimensional view of the entire floor.
In this way, you can avoid fighting and not be afraid of it.
After crossing the seventeenth floor, there was still an elevator heading down.
This time it leads directly to the eighty-second floor.
The elevator is still working and the power has not been restored throughout the Pentagon. David now almost understood Zhao Xuan's trick, and he had to admit that this trick was very effective and clever.
The Pentagon, of course, suffered an EMP attack, but this was only the beginning.
The target of this targeted attack is all mobile communication devices and their batteries, whether dry or lithium.
But there is one battery that will not be affected by this attack, and that is fuel cells.
Part of the backup power used by Athena is a fuel cell, which she can connect to several elevators of primary importance.
After the electromagnetic pulse attack, all the communication equipment lost its effect, but the elevator that Zhao Xuan wanted to use was still easy to use, which was of course the credit of Athena.
As for why Athena would open up the authority to do all this, David didn't know what to do, he instinctively felt that it had something to do with the old man who gave Zhao Xuan Athena the key.
Now David is curious, what exactly is SP-005?
With a strong sense of falling, the elevator finally stopped.
Compared to the Pentagon on the upper floor, the further down the building structure is, the more concise it becomes. The renovation in the nineties of the last century apparently did not affect the depths of the earth, and the surrounding style looks more like it was formed during the Cold War. At that time, all Americans were afraid of nuclear missiles falling from the sky, and deep underground in the Pentagon, where the center of gravity of the entire US military is located, the facilities to prevent nuclear strikes were obviously the first priority.
David was not at all indifferent to this kind of Cold War mentality, and he always felt that under the current pattern of the world, economic war was far more important than armed strikes. Whether it is the penetration of Eastern and Western forms, or the dominance of the economic sphere, it is far more meaningful than a boring skirmish.
Nowadays, no one has studied the doomsday clock theory, and everyone knows that it is impossible, and this world will eventually go to extreme prosperity first, and then decline.
The moment the elevator opened, David saw that the holograms in front of him began to appear.
Warning, warning. There are guards.
The simple words popped out, and David raised his gun almost instinctively, and then he saw a black-and-white pixel figure raise his hand before him.
The gunfire was not loud and was muffled.
Puff puff –
There was finally a flash of fire in the darkness, and the heat source showed that a strong burning heat began to develop near the muzzle, and then the figures on the opposite side fell.
Every guard is well trained, but this does not make up for the strong gap in the darkness.
Death, at this moment, seems to be the best greeting and answer.
In the imager, the heat of the corpses began to decrease, and David and Zhao Xuan stepped over the corpses together and walked towards the deepest secret room.
It holds one of the greatest secrets in the United States and the world, and now it has finally been revealed.
The passage was narrow, and the middle-aged man walked in front of David with full attention, his steps so steady that it seemed that the killing just now had nothing to do with him.
"At this time, shouldn't you say some lines of victory?" Zhao Xuan was still in the mood to ridicule, "I thought the Pentagon's guards were so tight." ”
David smiled wryly and said, "All you know is a scene from a movie...... What the Pentagon is really strict about is the entry check. The fingerprint lock and iris recognition technology in the back are rarely used, and most of the guards are very weak. The government doesn't invest too much money and manpower in order to keep a secret, it's just an administrative body. ”
"So there's no need to make a fuss if someone breaks in, does it?" Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Maybe everyone is just curious." ”
“…………”
David closed his mouth very sensibly and followed Zhao Xuan to move on.
Walking through the narrow hallway, David finally saw the only room on this level.
There is a light here, one of those that is like a kerosene lamp, and the heat source is obvious.
Zhao Xuan took off his helmet, looked back at David and asked with a smile: "Do I dare to do this for the sake of Lu?" ”
David shook his head.
"Because the Pentagon never keeps candles, and it's strictly fireproof." Zhao Xuan said, "Ridiculous awareness of fire safety, as well as paperless office. ”
The taunt was so powerful that David could only listen to it and take off his helmet.
The room in front of me was one of those white circular huts with tempered glass windows on all sides, and the white coating on the walls looked so old that it was impossible to see what was inside from the only kerosene lamp.
Zhao Xuan walked to the window, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the tempered glass, it was very rhythmic, the interval was long and short, and he knew that the Tao was the password when he heard it.
After knocking on a series of sounds, Zhao Xuan took a step back, turned to David and said, "Get this thing away." ”
Probably no one was more experienced than David when it came to opening a cell, and that was his most elementary course as an intelligence officer.
At this moment, David had no other choice, and he now realized that he was not only knocking on the door of the Pentagon's reception, but also had to do an extra job.
There are many ways to get open a piece of tempered glass, but David walked around the hut only to find that there was still an electronic lock in this place.
"Why can't you use Athena?"
"Athena doesn't have a password." Zhao Xuan said, "I'll leave it to you." ”
It took David about a minute to answer Zhao Xuan, he found a special support point, and opened fire, turning the tempered glass into a waste product full of fine lines.
"Well done." Zhao Xuan praised beside him, "Actually, you are a very good agent. ”
Zhao Xuan's words sounded full of ridicule at this moment, and David didn't want to hear it.
"And then?"
"Back off and let him out." Zhao Xuan looked at the destroyed window and repeated his words, "Let him come out by himself." ”
David now finally realizes that SP-005 is actually a person.
According to the chronology of SP's archives, this person should be locked up here. Betting for at least twenty years.
Under David's gaze, a hand reached out of that window.
What kind of hand is that?
The hands are very clean and don't look rough at all, except for a few scars above the wrists, which look a little shocking.
With his other hand gripping the edge of the window, David finally saw the man's face.
This is a very mediocre-looking man, about the yellow race, with messy gray hair, a lot of wrinkles on his face, and a pair of eyes that are a little too curved, and he looks like he has poor vision.
Crawling out of the room, the man exhaled as if he was enjoying himself, his stature was average, only about a little taller than Zhao Xuan, and the clothes on his body were a clean prison uniform, with a pair of sleeves rolled up halfway up on his shirt.
"Introduce yourself without it." Zhao Xuan nodded at the man, "We don't have much time, get out of here." ”
The man nodded, reached out and took the helmet that Zhao Xuan threw at him, and put it on skillfully.
David noticed this detail and was a little shocked.
It is much easier to retreat from the bottom, because the entire Pentagon is still in a state of emergency, and it is too easy to fish in troubled waters in a state of chaos. The middle-aged man changed his clothes in the elevator and put his prison clothes in the trash, and the group returned to the seventeenth floor without any obstacles.
Oldman is still here, and David knows that the reason why it went so well just now is because this old thing is buying time for everyone.
"Let's go." Zhao Xuan beckoned to Oldman.
Oldman shook his head, his gaze not taking off the screen.
"You can't leave without me."
Zhao Xuan didn't talk nonsense very simply, nodded, and threw the weapon and imager back at Oldman's feet.
"Good luck."
"I will." Oldman nodded slightly to the yellow man, "Sir, I wish you all the best." ”
The man nodded and followed Zhao Xuan out of the seventeenth floor.
