At the same time, Washington, USA, White House.

On the lawn outside the White House, the soldiers of the escort team, and these unarmed ceremonial soldiers who usually carry weapons are also fully armed, standing around, protecting the VH-3D helicopter in the center, codenamed "Marine One", which has started to operate continuously.

In the sky above the White House, two other VH-3D helicopters with special operators continued to circle, and in the air more than ten kilometers away, three F22 fighter jets were on their way.

Secret Service agents are out and about, secretly guarding important positions near the White House, and the snipers of each Point 2 are already in place, keeping a close eye on their area of responsibility. Because it won't be long before the president of the United States of America will leave his home, get on that VH-3D helicopter, go to Andrew's Air Force Base, and then board Air Force One to direct the agencies across the United States to respond to the Yellow Fog incident in Philadelphia.

In the safe corridor of the White House, the president, who was under the protection of the head of the Secret Service and other agents, was reluctantly walking outside, he was completely forcibly taken out of the White House, constantly saying that he should not leave here, that he should sit in the White House.

"If this news is reported by the media, the whole of Washington will get out of control!" The president was indignant and said to his head of security, "The president has fled, so why do the others have to stay here?" ”

His head of security said with a blank face: "Mr. President, Independence Hall in Philadelphia has been destroyed. The Declaration of Independence, which was kept in the National Museum, was stolen in the first place, but that doesn't mean the United States disappeared because of it. ”

The president was stunned and muttered in a low voice, "Even if I leave Washington, where can I go?" Canada or Mexico? ”

"No, you just need to stay at Air Force One." The head of security still spoke in that tone.

Today, the Weather Department has replaced the military as the most important agency, and the rest of the agencies are on their way to hourly updates on the weather around Philadelphia. Fortunately, there is a cloud of cold air from the Arctic Ocean that will hit Washington, and the yellow fog from Philadelphia should not reach Washington until this cold air leaves, but it is very likely that the cold air will move south along the East Coast.

The president listens to the telephone debriefing. Stop and ask, "You mean." When all the cities on the East Coast are going to be attacked by that thing? ”

The head of the National Weather Service on the other end of the phone comforted: "According to our speculation, with all the uncertainties, it is still possible for the yellow fog to dissipate halfway." ”

"Uncertainty?" The president was furious and almost dropped the phone. "So what is certain?"

"Mr. President. Bureau of Meteorology and Oceanographic Administration. The elite of the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research are here today, and we're all looking for solutions, but you need to know the truth. We can't control the atmosphere, we can only make predictions. The director of the meteorological bureau said helplessly.

The president hung up the phone and reiterated once again that he would not leave when Henry . McClydon. Jones appeared in front of him, an old man who had just taken the position of national security adviser, followed by an assistant and two bodyguards.

"Henry!" The president looked at his security adviser and knew that the other party had also come to urge him to leave, "I won't leave!" ”

"Mr. President, you're halfway there, helicopters are just outside, engines are running, fuel is burning all the time, and if you don't leave, it's a waste of taxpayers' money." Henry shook his head, joking innocatingly.

The president stepped forward and said, "Do you know what it means for me to leave Washington?" Means I gave up on everyone in Washington! ”

"No, you do. Because a country needs leaders, and without leaders, the country and its people will be abandoned. Henry dodged to the side and motioned for the president to leave.

The head of security and his men had slowly stepped forward, and the president clenched his fists and headed outside, and then boarded Marine One.

The helicopter took off slowly, and after waiting in the air for about ten seconds according to the safe waiting instructions, it flew straight towards Andrew Air Force Base under the escort of two other helicopters. At the same time, the president, seated on the plane, listened to a briefing on the situation in Philadelphia and Camden - unknown casualties, unknown number of missing, unknown number of survivors, all the news sounded like nonsense to him.

"Isn't there any definite news?" The president, rubbing the bridge of his nose, took off his glasses and looked at the chief of staff in front of him.

The chief of staff looked at the message on the tablet, then at the security advisor Henry next to him, and then said, "We found that there is something that is immune to that kind of murderous yellow fog, and it has been proven in practice. ”

The president was first surprised, then rejoiced: "When did it happen?" What is it? ”

The president said and took the computer handed by the chief of staff, but when he read the words on it clearly, his face immediately changed: "Drugs!? ”

"Yes, Mr. President, it's drugs, and the most effective thing is cocaine." The chief of staff pointed to the bottom of the computer screen, "There is a video of our experiments below, which is top secret, and if it is leaked, the people will accuse us of using living people for experiments." ”

The president nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and opened the video. The video begins to play, and a man who looks like he is an addict appears and a floating yellow mist not far behind him, and he runs towards one of the clouds of yellow mist under the instructions of a soldier in a chemical hazmat suit, and then stands in the middle of the yellow mist with his eyes closed and waits.

The president subconsciously closed his eyes, but opened them again after a second, and found that there was no change in the person, and a time timer appeared in the lower right corner of the video, and after a few minutes, there was no change in the person's body, and then the soldier waved back, and the video ended at this time.

When the president didn't know what to say, Henry, the security adviser, handed over his computer and showed him another video of a volunteer who had received a venous dose of a drug and was placed on a mobile stretcher. Waiting to be swallowed by the yellow mist. In the same way, he survived.

"Mr. President, now it seems that the situation is the same as what we know, as long as it is a drug addict, especially a person who uses intravenously, it will not be killed by the yellow mist." Henry said expressionlessly, looking at the president's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he immediately said. "I know. It's hard to accept, but facts are facts, and our experiments show that there's no other way. ”

The president was silent for a long time. Apparently deliberately trying to avoid the issue at this time. He also asked, "Do you still not know how the yellow fog is generated?" ”

The security adviser and the chief of staff looked at each other. Just connected with the secretary of defense who was still in the Pentagon.

After the connection was successful, and after the video was turned on, it was obvious to the president that the secretary of defense had been waiting at his desk for a long time. And from the sunken eye sockets and the dark circles around him, as well as the mouth full of stubble, even the empty coffee cup on the desk, and the half-eaten cakes, donuts and other things, it can be seen that he has not slept for a long time, and he is so anxious that he no longer cares about etiquette and appearance.

"Mr. President, now we are almost certain that this may not be a terrorist attack, and even if it is, then it should not be an attack on us by human terrorists, and if so, then the strength of this group of people is not at all something that ordinary countries can contend with." The Secretary of Defense paused, and said, "I'll switch to the video taken by the drone in Philadelphia, so you might as well confirm it yourself." ”

The president stared at the computer screen, the screen went black, and a few seconds later switched to a drone shot over Philadelphia — the city was covered in yellow fog, some of the high-rise buildings were only a few stories above them, most of the buildings were devastated and burned to the ground, and the buildings were burning and emitting black smoke everywhere, but something seemed to be squirming and walking in the fog-shrouded streets.

"What is this?" The president put his glasses back on and stared at the picture closely.

A black shadow flickered in the thick yellow mist, because the drone was flying at a safe altitude, and it was impossible to get close to photographing the specific appearance of the thing. Just as the president was about to ask a question, the picture adjusted to a state of heat, and a huge outline of the thing immediately appeared in the yellow fog of the picture - a huge oval body, as big as a ship, with a long tail dragging behind it, and the position of the head seemed to have countless tentacles swinging in all directions, and judging from the color of the picture, the heat emitted by this thing was amazingly high, like a walking thermal power plant.

The president leaned next to the back of the chair, and the toes in the shoe involuntarily grasped the soles of the shoes, and it took a long time to ask, "What the hell is this?" New weapons? Carrying a nuclear device? ”

The chief of staff and security adviser Henry both shook their heads, and then Henry said: "I'm sorry, we haven't found out yet, because the signals in the whole of Philadelphia have been blocked 10 meters below the ground, for unknown reasons, we suspect that someone has set up a signal blocker or something in Philadelphia." We first found this thing under the cracked ground, so we sacrificed a full 15 commandos, as well as the on-site commander of the anti-chemical defense unit, and later sent three groups of elite soldiers of the Delta Force in order to observe it up close, but after entering the area, they all lost contact, and there should be no survivors. ”

"What about our Air Force?" The president sat down again, "Send out the air force, and kill that thing in any way!" Can you be sure that the yellow mist is produced by that thing? ”

"It should be." Henry nodded, "At least that's what all of our experts think, because atmospheric monitors and satellite measurements have shown that wherever that thing appears, the concentration of the yellow fog will deepen, and the heat will also deepen, and our people have also analyzed that the fog contains a tiny creature, a bug that should not be visible to the naked eye, slightly larger than bacteria, and it should be the kind of thing that turns people into terrible bombs, but this kind of thing has never appeared in any human literature." ”

"Dispatch the Air Force!" The president ordered, "Kill that monster!" ”

"We tried, but it didn't work." Henry shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Whether it's an aerial gun or a guided missile, it doesn't even react at all after hitting that thing, it's like it was melted and evaporated in an instant!" (To be continued......)
