"How long will it take to reach the target?!" The scar-faced man gestured and asked the white man who was watching the manor.

"An hour and a half." The man looked at his watch, then responded with a gesture.

Scarface didn't continue to ask, but hid in the bushes.

At this time, Compton drove his car towards his manor while cursing. The recent move by the Bureau of Strategic Investigation has been so great that it is understandable to cause a backlash.

The fact that the Germans had mastered their own research made the White House outraged. The wrath of the White House has brought disaster to the Bureau of Investigation. They had to organize a team of people to investigate what went wrong.

And because of the seriousness of this matter, it caused them to act too hastily. Some of the researchers were detained and interrogated.

That's what led to Compton's anger. Time was tight enough, but the arrest of these researchers led to a serious delay in the plan.

Moreover, such instances are not one or two. Rather, it happened in pieces, and at least more than a thousand people were called in for questioning. Explain some of their whereabouts and need to provide evidence to the Investigation Bureau.

And there are more than 100 people, who have not been released so far. The reason given by the Bureau of Investigation was that they could not confirm the authenticity of their son's whereabouts for a certain period of time.

The Bureau's aggressive approach has led to panic throughout the research work. Everyone was terrified that they would be approached by the Bureau of Investigation for questioning.

And as a result, the entire research and development of nuclear weapons has also been forced to slow down. Compton watched as this happened, but he could only take his anger out on the members of the Bureau of Investigation who were protecting him.

Looking at the headlights behind him, Compton's face finally looked better. Compton cursed, but he knew in his heart that his position and the documents on his body were too important.

Without the protection of these Bureau of Investigation guards, he would not have dared to take these documents out of his laboratory easily. The car quickly drove into the manor.

In the shadows, the security personnel of several investigation bureaus slowly retreated into the darkness after receiving a security signal. Compton's car, on the other hand, entered the manor without any hindrance.

As one of the most critical leaders of the Manhattan Research Program on Nuclear Weapons, Compton's safety and the safety of his family have always been the top priorities of the Bureau of Investigation.

There are more than twenty security personnel here. It can be said that apart from the White House, Compton is the only person who can enjoy such security.

"Oh ~ Mom! I'm back to see you! As soon as he got out of the car, Compton saw his elderly mother happily waiting for him outside the door.

Compton comes from an academic family that has always been home to academic researchers. Other important researchers have sent their families to the research site and handed them over to the Bureau of Investigation for protection.

The only exception was the Compton family, whose elderly mother was reluctant to leave. She wants to live here for the rest of her life. Compton chose to respect his mother's wishes while keeping his wife and children with her.

"My Chamberton, you haven't been home in a while! Come on, let's hurry back. Try the apple pie I made for you......" The old man couldn't help but be happy when he saw the child go home.

With Compton's support, the old lady smiled and entered the house with her son.

"I heard that you were not in good health some time ago, are you feeling better now?!" Once inside the house, Compton asked his mother impatiently, and the old man smiled and nodded.

"I'm feeling better, it's just a minor problem. Just take some medicine, you don't have to rush back because of this......"

The family sat down in the living room, with steaming apple pie on the table. Compton, on the other hand, happily talked to his mother and tasted the apple pie that her mother made for him.

After a long time, my elderly mother began to lose her support. He asked his wife to help his mother go back to rest, while he went to the study with his own document bag.

If it weren't for the Bureau's recent actions, Compton wouldn't have wanted to come back with this information at all. He just wants to concentrate on his mother.

However, due to the investigation by the Investigation Bureau, the progress has been seriously slowed down. In desperation, Compton had no choice but to bring the documents with him when he returned home so that he could catch up with the progress of the experiment.

It is precisely for this reason that the embarrassed Bureau of Investigation had to turn a blind eye to this actual violation of the regulations. They can't help it, and they know the impact they're making.

But at this time, it is irreparable, and they can only try to remedy it. Having Compton go home with the papers to catch up was a way they felt allowed.

Seeing her husband enter the study, Compton's wife silently made a pot of coffee for her husband. At the same time, some apple pie was sent into the study.

She knew that once Compton got to work, he would ignore everything. And these are the supplements for when he feels tired and hungry. Sure enough, Compton didn't notice his wife coming into the study.

Instead, he was engrossed in his own experimental reports, which included the researcher's account of all the changes in the experiment. Compton did not miss a single word, and carefully studied the report word by word......

And outside the house, light and dark sentinels are scattered throughout the house. There are even snipers ready to deal with any eventuality. The agents who had just returned with Compton also entered this circle of protection.

But I don't know when, Scarface and his party have slowly approached the periphery of this room.

But seeing that the silent Scarface was extremely skilled in removing the dark mines buried in the ground, and at the same time broke some alarm lines, and used gestures to direct his team to bypass the traps one by one, and slowly approached the hidden places of those dark sentinels.

The members of the Investigation Bureau who are hidden in the grass are not mediocre. Many of them were tough guys who had been transferred from the battlefields of the bloody battle in Moscow.

These men were dispatched by Roosevelt to the Bureau of Investigation to protect the safety of these most important scientists.

"Send someone to contact the Investigation Bureau immediately and ask them to send more people! Send two people to Dr. Compton and get him in the car and get out of here immediately! ”

Cecil, the leader of the squad, smelled something different in the air, believing that the manor was no longer safe.

Someone has already set their sights on the estate, and maybe now is the time for them to act.

"Yes! Sir!! The deputy leader of the action team responded in a deep voice, and immediately mobilized people and rushed to the study of the house. At the same time, several telecommunications soldiers began to try to contact the headquarters by radio.

At this point, Cecil felt sweat oozing from his palms. He knew that the enemy was coming. This is how he feels, for no reason. But he believed in the feeling.

Because on the battlefield, this feeling has saved his surname countless times.

"Except for the Dark Sentinels, assemble at once! Get ready to fight!! Suddenly, Cecil stood up and shouted in a low voice. More than a dozen people rushed out, and they stood straight in front of Cecil with guns in hand.

At this time, Cecil was keenly aware that his telegraph soldiers did not come. Not a single one came! Suddenly, a sense of danger came over me!

"Poof......" There were a few muffled sounds, and the man who was concentrated in front of Cecil suddenly lay down a few times. At their throats, there are crossbow arrows!

"Lie down! Shoot back!! Cecil roared, and everyone fell to the ground. These are worthy of the elite of the Investigation Bureau, and they can judge the direction of the crossbow arrows in an instant.

More than a dozen guns pointed at that position, and suddenly pulled the trigger

A string of bullets ...... immediately shot out, and the sound of gunfire directly shattered the tranquility of the manor at this moment. And the crossbow bolts flew again in the shadows, and several members of the action team who fired the guns snorted and turned to the point of not moving......

Cecil knew he was in the hands of a master. The other party came prepared, and they used bows and crossbows. In the darkness of the night, they used cover to avoid exposing their position by simply turning over and dodging.

And he and the action team used guns, although the fire was fierce, but in the night easily revealed their position, as long as the shot was fired, the fire would betray them.

"Head to the study and take Dr. Compton with you! Fast!! Cecil shouted as hard as he could, and then some of the team members crawled towards the house.

And along the way, there are constantly crossbow arrows shooting. Three of the five team members who rushed were knocked down or killed on the way, and Cecil gritted his teeth and kept switching positions and shooting into the bushes.

He knew that the fact that the sentry didn't squeak at this time only meant one thing: they were all killed.

Fortunately, there are not no people in the vicinity of this manor, and as long as the gunshots are fired, someone will inevitably call the police. And when the police receive the news, it means that the investigation bureau also receives the news.

As long as I hold on for a while, I can wait for the support of the Investigation Bureau. The most important thing now is to get Compton out, get on that bulletproof car from the Bureau of Investigation and get out of here.

"What are you doing?! Leave me alone, bring my family first!! "Compton knew something bad was the moment the gun rang out!

But he didn't want his mother, wife, and children to be in danger, only to see him yelling at the members of the Bureau. And constantly resist the pull of the members of the Investigation Bureau.

"Squeak~" Fortunately, the car has stopped at the door at this time. Several members of the team quickly lifted Compton's mother into the car, and then Compton's wife and children into the car.

At this point, Compton stopped struggling and evacuated with the rest of the group...... (To be continued.) )
