The U.S. Commonwealth, a country that prides itself on cultural diversity, may not be able to put aside discrimination and prejudice and embrace every outsider, but it will bring the culture to outsiders, especially the food. In the past decade or so, Chinese food has rapidly crossed the restrictions of Chinatown's wall bricks, and spread violently in all directions in the U.S. Federation like sparks in a haystack, setting off a prairie fire.

The delicacy of Chinese food has conquered the taste buds of Lao Mei, and there are countless Chinese restaurants in New York, Manhattan, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities, and some famous Chinese restaurants can even make the elites on Wall Street who are above the top familiar with it.

At this time, a lonely figure sat in the seat in the corner of Nandu Impression Chinese Restaurant, a young man wearing a baseball cap, wearing a sweatshirt of unsuitable size, and the sleeves of the fat coat stained with a lot of oil stains hung softly, showing a thick decadent and sloppy, making other diners and waiters stay away.

Xu Le has long been accustomed to the awe and disgust of others, even if the gaze cast on himself now is less awe and only disgust, Xu Le still doesn't care, while tasting the long-lost hometown food, while recalling all the things that happened before, searching for possible loopholes.

Five days ago, on the night of the previous day, Xu Le took a ferry arranged by Smith back to Lilongwe Pier, hid in a freighter and successfully left Malawi, and finally landed at Newark Port after several turnarounds on the way.

Xu Le is different from those Mexican illegal workers who only the immigration bureau cares about, I don't know how many pairs of high-flying eyes are searching for Xu Le's traces, so if you want to smuggle into the U.S. Federation, you can't sneak ashore and everything will be fine, Xu Le also needs a new identity as a cover.

Thanks to Mr. Smith's thoughtfulness—he had to arrange everything as best he could for the sake of his own life—someone approached Xu Le as soon as he landed, offered to provide Xu Le with a new identity, and gave him a valid Social Security number and a driver's license.

The U.S. Federation is known as the "country on wheels", here, many times the driver's license can be used as a Chinese ID card, with the "ID card" and social security number, and ask professionals to make some changes in the appearance, Xu Le, who changed his hair color and pupil color, successfully passed the inventory road inspection, and entered the city after the road was unimpeded.

With the cash "borrowed" from Smith's old friend, Xu Le first went to rent a box truck, and then found the underground black market to buy some weapons, although the United States is a country with lax gun control, and even department stores and supermarkets will sell guns, but if you want to buy the high-power lethal weapons that Xu Le needs, you still have to find those guys who are active outside the law and sunshine.

After purchasing the equipment he needed, Xu Le couldn't wait to rush to Washington, D.C., to hunt down his first target.

Xu Le didn't need extra time to find a target, because when he worked in the change control center, he had access to all kinds of information related to mutants, including the personal information of many political dignitaries, powerful people, wealthy businessmen and celebrities who might have had an affair with the mutants. Radical members of the center's leadership have also drawn up a list of blacklisted suspects to be considered for assassination if necessary.

Of course, this kind of low-level means, which will cause endless troubles, will never be considered unless it is absolutely necessary, and the assassination plan that the radicals have been planning for a long time can only be put on hold indefinitely, and it is very likely that it will end up in nothing.

And Xu Le, as an activist in the radical faction, has long been familiar with the rolling melons on the back of that list, and now is the time to come in handy, since he has smuggled to the United States with the will to go and never return, of course he must kill on a killing spree, not only to kill mutants, but also to kill these people who have an affair with mutants, those people may cause more harm than most mutants, and Xu Le does not need to bother to spend time searching for targets, starting directly from that list, and slashing through them one by one from beginning to end, rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

However, this simple and straightforward plan was met with considerable resistance at the outset.

Hsu Le's first target was the designated survivor of the last State of the Union address, Sean Conrad, one of the cabinet members of current President William Harrison.

Designated survivors are a system created during the Cold War in the last century, and the U.S. federal government, fearing that the president and the rest of the senior leaders would be wiped out by a nuclear attack, deliberately arranged for a cabinet member or important congressman to be absent when the president and other senior leaders of other countries gathered in the same place.

Under normal circumstances, the designated survivor will be selected from the top 17 on the presidential succession list, and will be able to enjoy presidential-level security and special transportation when they go out, accompanied by a military attache with a nuclear suitcase in case of emergency.

When the President, Vice President, Congressional Leader, and Cabinet members of the U.S. Federal Republic of America are all killed, the designated survivor immediately becomes the acting President of the Commonwealth of America in accordance with the Presidential Succession Act.

Sean Conrad, a designated survivor at the last State of the Union address and now the Minister of Housing and Urban Development, would have had dire consequences if he had an affair with a mutant. Xu Le didn't think too complicated, just thought that if Sean Conrad became the designated survivor again, and the president of the U.S. federal and the rest of the national leaders "happened" to die en masse in an attack...... Just imagining it, Xu Le shuddered.

I don't know if it's dark under the lights or for some other reason, the intelligence agencies of the United States federation don't seem to be aware of the dirtiness between Sean Conrad and the mutants, in fact, both sides of the contact are very careful, leaving almost no clues, and the information held by the transformation center is basically just chasing after the wind, with the few evidence in hand, it can't prove anything, but Sean Conrad is among the top three on the assassination list for some reason.

According to Xu Le's understanding, the person who made this list has a special information channel, and it seems that he is in a secret base somewhere in Beijing. As for the deeper information, Xu Le couldn't ask and didn't care.

On the freighter, Xu Le made the first step of the plan, starting with Sean Conrad.

Normally, the list should be started from the bottom up, starting with the less important characters, because their death will not have too much of an impact. But Xu Le knew that he didn't have much chance to attack, and it was likely that after a few assassinations, he would be approached by the U.S. federal government and mutants, so Xu Le wanted to kill the most important person in one fell swoop when the other party was the least vigilant, which narrowed Xu Le's hunting scope to two people: George Freeman, who ranked first, and Sean Conrad, who ranked second.

George Freeman is the contemporary leader of the Freeman family, a family that originated from the European medieval elite family, the family behind the mysterious Priory of Zion mentioned in the conspiracy theory bestseller "Holy.", originated in France and the south of England, and has a large amount of gold in Switzerland and the British Lloyd's bank, and has a huge wealth in Europe and the United States.

According to the information of the Transformation Center, George Freeman is likely to be the main source of income for the Temple, and compared to Sean Conrad and other members of Congress who sneak in contact with mutants, George Freeman, who blatantly helps mutants, makes Xu Le's teeth itch even more, but George Freeman rarely walks on the road in public, and it is very difficult to find his whereabouts, and it takes a lot of time, energy, and money to invest.

Therefore, Xu Le, who was in a hurry to carry out the operation, chose Sean Conrad as his first target.

Four days after the incident at the Lilongwe shelter in Malawi, a dusty box truck drove toward Washington, D.C., with few people knowing that the sniper rifle in the back of its compartment could fire large-caliber bullets that would trigger World War III.
