The Pentagon was built in the forties of the last century, and has undergone numerous renovations, increased functions, and expanded in depth. From manpower management to mechanized management, and then to automated management. This evolutionary process is almost comparable to the progress of human civilization in recent decades. The U.S. military has invested heavily in this iconic building, adding supercomputer cabinets and relaying various fiber optic cables. The transfer of information and the intangibility of information have also allowed the functions of various institutions to be coordinated with each other, and many studies have been optimized specifically for this office model.

Since its inception in the last century, the Pentagon has largely solved the problem of electricity. Fiber optic cable transmission is just one of several different ways to generate electricity and energy, as well as self-generating equipment and backup power, and where controlled nuclear fusion, which has shone in recent years, is about to be used.

Even New York, the financial capital of the world, has experienced large-scale power outages, but the Pentagon and several government departments in the D.C. have never put an end to this. Dozens of sets of backup power supplies are capable of dealing with a wide range of scenarios, including nuclear war.

At this moment, it was like a fairy tale about the most bizarre moment, when the Pentagon suddenly lost all power support, and everyone's vision was dark.

The consternation generated by questions that transcended common sense was also more durable than normal, and the state of mind of those who were once confident at this moment is indescribable. Some of the men and women are still walking in the hallways, some are scrolling through papers at their desks, some are talking on the phone, some are observing the data. Communications, talks, and plans are constantly being carried out, just as the dynamism that the country usually shows.

The gigantic machine is moving forward with the inertia it has been accustomed to for decades, and for those at the Department of Defense, the day should be no different from all the everyday. With the exception of that frustrating day many years ago, few have been able to challenge the authority of the state that stands here.

No one doubts the strength and stability of this place, just as no one doubts that this country is still the most powerful country in the world. The dreams and beliefs of many people are pinned here, and countless people are willing to fight for the honor that prosperity brings.

This is the Pentagon, the pinnacle of military establishments in the world, the symbol of the United States, and even the spirit and soul of this country.

So at this moment, something powerful collapsed, bringing not only surprise and fear, but even a trace of despair.

For too long, the people who work here don't know what it's like to have a power outage, and even if it's a small department breakdown, there is timely power support and technical maintenance. Who would have imagined the Pentagon in total darkness, and who would have thought that the system would suddenly collapse one day?

No one believes in all this, and no one knows how to deal with it.

In the darkness, screams and exclamations began to take over the eardrums, becoming the only universal note in the building.

At the same time, Colonel Thomson in the reception room was also shocked, and he still rushed towards Zhao Xuan.

Killing this girl was the only thought on Colonel Thomson's mind right now.

No one could have imagined that Zhao Xuan's countdown just now would evolve into the current situation, almost all of the Pentagon's external windows were closed at the same time as the power outage, and the entire building seemed to be controlled by some kind of magic, becoming a confined space that could not be broken through.

Thomson was observing Zhao Xuan from the moment he entered the door just now, and he knew that this was a very dangerous girl. Dare to exchange interests with the US military alone, dare to come to the Department of Defense with three people. Zhao Xuan's courage and courage are beyond doubt, her behavior is no longer close to madness, but completely beyond the intellectual boundaries recognized by ordinary people.

At this moment, Thomson couldn't think of a better solution, he only hoped that his judgment was right, and Zhao Xuan had no power to fight back in the face of a professional soldier like himself.

It only took a moment from bright as day to dark, Thomson had already deeply remembered Zhao Xuan's position, and also predicted the other party's movements, he was very confident in his skills.

…………

…………

From Thomson to Zhao Xuan, he only needed to take about three steps forward, and his hand was already open, like hugging his most beloved lover. Thomson knew very well in his heart that as long as one of his hands touched Zhao Xuan, he could find her neck in a second, and then twist it.

This is the conclusion of countless practical combat experiences, and there is no trace of error.

Step 1......

Step 2......

Every step went smoothly and Thomson felt like he was about to catch the kitten-like Asian girl, and then he felt an unaudible wind blow in his ears.

Like a breeze, fast and formless.

Colonel Thomson suddenly felt his mind stagnate.

What is spilling on your face?

With a little bit of temperature, it's wet.

Then Colonel Thomson suddenly felt that his thinking had been completely cut off, and his movements were like puppets that had lost their strings, and they fell.

In the darkness, Colonel Thomson could no longer see what had just passed through his cheek.

It was a stool leg, from the chair Zhao Xuan was sitting on just now, and it even had a bit of a beautiful woman's fragrance on it.

The middle-aged man with long hair had a little blood on his hand, and looked indifferently at Colonel Thomson lying on the ground, Zhao Xuan stood beside him and nodded slightly to him.

"Well done."

The middle-aged man with long hair didn't say a word, turned around and opened the door to the reception room.

Zhao Xuan looked at David, who was already completely shocked and trembling, and showed a smile in the dark.

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

David stared at the corpse on the ground, his eyes not as prepared as the other three, and it took a moment for him to adjust to the darkness. The corpse lying on the ground made David know that this was not nonsense, but it was more terrible than the most nonsense in the world.

Looking at Thomson's corpse in a daze for a few seconds, David sighed as if he had come back to his senses.

"I ...... So satisfied. ”

"So, come with me now?" Zhao Xuan asked, "Or stay here?" ”

David didn't hesitate this time, and quickly followed Zhao Xuan.

"The answer is not enough, I want to keep reading."

Zhao Xuan didn't say anything, she walked quickly to the corridor leading to the next district.

From the time Thomson pounced on Zhao Xuan to the time he was killed by the long-haired middle-aged man, it was less than half a minute. And at this time, the full-scale response of the entire Pentagon into darkness had just begun, and many people screamed and exclaimed. The shouting continued for almost a minute, and showed no signs of stopping.

It should be the most orderly place in the whole world, and the chaos it showed after losing its mind was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At this time, in this building of more than 20,000 people, everyone was at a loss. Both the safety code and the onboarding manual have been written about what to do after the Pentagon is attacked, but like many software service agreements on the Internet, the vast majority of people feel that it is just a form of rigorous proof.

It was only at this moment that everyone understood that the strongest fortress would also encounter unexpected situations.

In the dark, many people quickly calmed down amid the screams and took out their phones to see what was going on. But when these people took out their mobile devices, they were shocked to find that the worst they could think of was much more than a power outage.

All the phones couldn't light up, as if they were hypnotized en masse.

The men and women who work at the Pentagon have some common sense, and when they see such a mobile phone, they already know what they have encountered.

There is only one possibility that can destroy all electronic devices on such a large scale and paralyze mobile phones.

EMP attacks, also known as electromagnetic pulse attacks.

Civilians apparently don't know anything about EMP attacks, only professionals who stand in the military field know how terrible they are.

Since the discovery that a nuclear explosion can produce an EMP effect, this attack method, which can quickly paralyze all electronic equipment, has been favored by all countries, and they have begun to study it vigorously. A variety of applied weapons and techniques have been released, but due to the particularity of electromagnetic effects, most of the truly satisfactory EMP attack weapons are bulky and take a long time to activate. By far the most effective EMP attack method is a high-altitude nuclear explosion, which is enough to destroy all the electronic equipment and communications facilities of a cosmopolitan city.

No one expected that someone would actually use an EMP attack in the Pentagon, and the effect was so obvious!

The effect of this attack was obviously more rapid than the EMP attacks that everyone knew, and the entire Ministry of Defense did not immediately restore power, and all means of communication were also cut off. The automatic doors were locked as the power went out, some people were isolated in the hallways, others were locked in their offices, and the entire Pentagon was like an island for help, where darkness, loneliness and fear hung over.

"Take me to the bottom."

In the dark, Zhao Xuan's voice was calm and clear, ringing in David's ears.

The four of them walked through the chaos, and no one paid attention to them. The huge commotion just now made people unaware that there had been a brief battle in the reception room of the Lundao, and that one of the colonels had been pierced through the skull.

David was stunned for a moment, and replied truthfully: "I don't have enough authority, I haven't been to the bottom." ”

"So do you know where the Dao came from?"

"Zhilu Dao." David stared at Zhao Xuan in the dark, his mood was indescribably complicated, "Which is your target?" ”

"Go and see what you'll see." Zhao Xuan said lightly, "It will satisfy you." ”

David looked around the corridor where people kept screaming in the darkness, and muttered with some emotion, "I'm already satisfied......"

In recent decades, countless people have tried to attack the Pentagon, trying to slap the face of the world's military powers in this way. But as of today, even if the bearded man in 911 blew up a corner of the Pentagon, he was not as successful as Zhao Xuan at this moment.

Zhao Xuan actually launched an EMP attack directly against the Pentagon, and it took full effect!

David Zhilu said that the Pentagon's design in recent years has included a design to resist EMP attacks, and even prepared vacuum tube-type electronic equipment for this purpose. But few current Defense Department officials would actually use it, and few believed that the special defense materials, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars, would be so weak.

"You sabotaged the electronic defense system?" David asked Zhao Xuan as he pointed the way.

Zhao Xuan didn't speak, but looked in the direction David was pointing and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

This "you" includes David, but also the other two.
