Chapter 249: Fear
"Dai Li has confirmed that the beast tide is at least temporarily retreating."
In the "hive", the women are cheering for those people, and in the underground base under the "hive", President Kennedy and the absolute top of the base are hiding in it.
Helen took the hand that covered her ear, ended the conversation with the woman above, Deli, looked at the president and said, "But as far as her mental power can sense, almost all of them have been occupied by these monsters. β
Kennedy was silent, his expression unusually angry.
is also a superpower of the spiritual department, but mental power exploration is not Kennedy's strong point, but he trusts Dai Li very much.
I don't know who to be angry at, because Kennedy knows very well that in such weather, the arrival of the beast tide is without warning, and no one in the base is responsible for this blame.
"Is it really without warning? The flying monsters that appeared at the base a few hours ago, including the scorpion-like beast that emerged from the ground, who would dare say they weren't here to find their way? β
Kennedy's voice was slow and calm, but everyone could hear the extreme anger in his tone.
After decades of hard work and more than three months of struggle, whether it was the "51" area or the base, Kennedy believed that as long as he gave himself a little more time, he would take the base as the core and build a strong empire in the last days.
This time did not take long, and Kennedy felt that as long as he gave himself another half a year, the powerful empire that had already revealed its naΓ―ve form would definitely be revealed.
However, all this, because of the arrival of an unprovoked beast tide, has become out of reach.
Kennedy was clear. The reason why the base construction was in full swing within three months. The most crucial factor is, of course, "Pandora", but another reason that cannot be ignored. That is, the "51" district has a foundation.
It is a collection of cutting-edge instruments that represent the highest technology in the country, and there are already the best talents in various fields, including a large number of arms, steel, food reserves, and so on.
But all of this was ruined just because of the advent of a beast tide.
"Who patted my chest and promised me that even if we were sitting in an underground fortress, the whole world would be as clear as the palm of our own hands, where was the Hope satellite? What are you guys doing? β
Finally, he couldn't bear the anger anymore, and Kennedy roared like thunder. He slapped the table and stood up.
The MIA boss Robert Khan was raining down, and no matter how cool the air conditioner was, it couldn't stop the sweat beads from seeping.
"There are so many monsters, if the number is less than thousands, I'll screw your head to you. Could it be that a beast tide of this scale appeared out of thin air? MIA, tell me, what is your monitoring team doing every time? β
In the face of the president's repeated angry questioning, Robert knew he could not remain silent any longer.
"Hope is now on the African side, and we've had Hope keep up with them since we spotted a migration of more than a million mutated wildebeest herds half a day ago. Let's see if they ......"
"Could it be anything? Don't you tell me you're afraid that a million mutated wildebeest will pose a threat to the base? β
Kennedy's angry voice interrupted Robert's explanation.
Before he could finish speaking, Kennedy suddenly calmed down.
Is it just anger?
Kennedy suddenly discovered the reason why he was so out of shape. Not only did the huge base not warn of the appearance of the beast tide at all, but the more important reason was that he began to be afraid.
It's not that I haven't been afraid after the end of the world. A loved one who died in a virus outbreak, a lover who was killed by a mutated creature. Even if the superpower awakened later, at the moment of life and death. Kennedy would have been terrified, too.
All this changed completely when he arrived at the "51st District" and then became the president of the United States.
With "Pandora," Kennedy felt that he had no chance of fear.
However, tonight's beast tide made him, who had always been very rational and calm, carried away by fear.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Kennedy knew he couldn't panic now.
Anger can make people lose their minds, and at a time of great pressure, one wrong order can lead to total loss.
The beast tide did not leave, although he could not use his mental power to detect, but in his intuition, such a group of monsters that suddenly appeared would definitely not retreat because of a setback.
"If the Hope satellite is still in Africa, you will be the director of the bureau."
Kennedy's voice returned to calm, or rather indifference.
"The satellite is in orbit, and in five minutes at most, we can see the picture."
One of Robert's subordinates whispered, hesitated for a moment and added: "But the sandstorm has not subsided yet, and we can't see anything in this weather." β
Without continuing the subject, Kennedy looked at the crowd and was about to speak, when suddenly a panicked voice came from the speakers in the hall.
"Your Excellency, here they are."
"It's coming from the ground, in the pipes and sewers, everywhere."
"We're getting close to the hive, they're fast."
"There are so many of them that I can sense at least hundreds."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the hall of the underground base, everyone who had only breathed a sigh of relief before suddenly became nervous.
"Don't worry, when the underground base was renovated, this problem was taken into account, and all the underground pipes connecting here were blocked with concrete."
"Also, the walls of the underground base are extremely thick, and there are steel plates in the mezzanine, so it is almost impossible to get through."
"The only way to the outside is to the hive, and the high-energy ray cannon in the hive is enough to wipe out any creature that comes close, so as long as the hive isn't destroyed, we're safe."
A thin middle-aged man shouted loudly, constantly reassuring everyone.
"Your Excellency, I propose to prepare for the implementation of the 'Plan S'."
Admiral Scott ignored the middle-aged man's shouts and walked over to Kennedy and whispered.
Kennedy was silent, and after a moment, he finally nodded.
"Crazy team, get ready to act."
Admiral Scott did not hesitate to give the order over the intercom.
"Yes, sir."
A resolute response rang out over the intercom.
"Restore Pandora to its original form, prepare the space plane, and make sure it can take off as soon as the president boards the plane."
After giving the order, Admiral Scott turned around and whispered to the young captain beside him.
A shocked look appeared on the young captain's face, and he immediately took the order, turned and ran away quickly.
"Are you really going to give up?"
Kennedy looked at the people in the hall who were staring at him, his face expressionless, and let out an unwilling roar in his heart. (To be continued......)
