Wu Zi looked at the three pages of paper in his hand, on which there were more than 5,000 phone numbers, and there seemed to be no other way than to give them to the liaison to dial one by one.

Listening to the sound of the phone buttons and the busy sound from the hands-free, ten minutes passed, the paper turned to the third page, and the officials in the office fell silent.

On the frozen ocean, the aircraft carrier is covered with ice, in the dark cabin, the light flashes one after another, on the navigation chart on the desktop, the frozen mobile phone is vibrating, the screen shows an unknown number, and the sound echoes in the passage of the cabin.

In the power compartment of the ship's mother, seven sergeants held a nuclear reactor with a diameter of four meters, their faces and bodies pressed against the walls of the furnace. A sergeant felt an itch in his right heel, raised his left foot to rub, and after a few seconds of leaving the furnace wall, his left foot condensed into ice strips, and he immediately retracted it, but the ice foot touched the steel wall of the reactor, boom, crumbled into small pieces, no pain or itching, and the eyes of the people around him widened as they watched this colleague standing on one foot.

"Damn, how long are we going to stay in this stupid position? "Someone complained.

Caton looked at Bass beside him, the general of the general staff had not spoken, he had to say to the complainer: "What nonsense is that? show a little military integrity, don't shout at the slightest trivial, like a little girl." ”

The complainer closes his mouth and turns his face to the other side.

"Caton, let them complain, everyone will be anxious when they encounter this kind of ghost weather. ”

Bath's words made Caton stunned, the two of them were fat and strong, they both served in Iraq, Bath was more like a soldier, due to the problem of body shape, the fat Caton did not look like a Marine, but he was a real front-court soldier who had killed enemy troops, and Bath was mainly responsible for civilian work because he was in the Battlefield Support Department at the time, and he was not on the battlefield.

There is often a saying in the military that soldiers are only divided into two kinds, one has killed people, and the other has not killed people, and their biggest difference is their eyes, not their figures.

Fat can expand their body size, but it can't erase the sharpness in their eyes.

And Bass's fame does not come from work, but from the masterpiece "Invasion of the United States", as a subordinate, Caton also quietly read it, which is full of all kinds of conjectures about the invasion of the United States, such as foreign forces paralyzing the United States through cyber attacks, taking the opportunity to launch aggression, for which the U.S. government has launched a cyber investigation against China and Russia. Some of the ideas in the book are indeed novel, but most of them are unfounded conjectures, full of China's use of meteorological weapons against the United States, which can only appear in the plot of a novel.

Despite this, it did not stop the book from selling well, and Bass rose through the ranks to become a staff general.

"Caton, do you have any ideas?" Buzz froze for a moment when he saw the fat man's gaze.

"Shhhh He suddenly told everyone to be silent and listen to the movement outside.

Someone said, "It sounds like a song." ”

"Born mad. Caton exclaimed, "That's the rock beast song, the ringtone of my phone." ”

"So what? No one can go outside to answer the phone. Bass said.

Everyone could only listen to the bell repeating until it was still.

", this kind of weather. The man began to complain again, and Caton glanced at him, and he turned his face away.

The bell rang in the power compartment, and the people holding the steel furnace were startled, looking at each other, none of them had mobile phones on them, and the bell was heard from the frozen soldiers.

"We have to answer that call. Bass said.

But the soldier was frozen a few paces away, and if they put their hands out, it would freeze in less than two seconds, and no one could touch him.

Caton lifted his left foot against the stove, took off one of his leather shoes, and held it in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Buzz saw him take his shoes and aim at the soldier.

He smiled, "You'll find out soon." ”

The thrown leather shoes flew in the air, frozen into ice cubes, and hit the soldier's left foot, and boom, the left foot shattered, and the body fell into the reactor, cracking pieces of bright red ice.

Caton took off his other shoe and reached over, picking out the ringing phone among the broken ice.

"Sir, you've killed someone. The sergeant said as he looked at the broken corpse of his colleague on the ground.

"Shut up, he's already dead. Caton let the furnace wall melt the ice on the phone and press the answer button.

Hearing a deep voice on the phone, the president's office was cheered.

Wu Zi patted the liaison officer on the shoulder, picked up the phone and said, "Listen, Deputy Chief of Staff Caton, is Admiral Bass okay?"

Caton raised an eyebrow, "He's wonderful." The phone was handed to Bass.

What people didn't expect was that Buzz listened to the words and suddenly shouted: "Bastard, if you can't do this, you will ruin America." Then he hung up the phone with the vice president.

The people in front of the furnace looked at each other, wondering what was happening.

"Sir, what's going on?" Caton saw his sweaty face.

"They sold out the United States and wanted to supply China with electricity from all the nuclear power plants, which is the energy we depend on. Bas replied through gritted teeth.

"There must be a misunderstanding in it, and the Washington administration will not make such a decision rashly. Afraid that he would break the phone, Caton pulled it out of his hand.

"Yes, of course they will not act rashly, the Chinese have bribed them and put the president under house arrest." ”

Caton rolled his eyes, "Please, it's time like this, please don't bring out your paranoia of victimization." ”

"This extreme climate must have been made by the Chinese, they have long planned to continuously emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, causing sudden changes in temperature, yes, it must be so, they have long wanted to invade the United States through this method." Bas said, holding his head in his hands.

"Bass, can you pause?"

"It must have been Chinese done......"

Caton saw him lose control of his emotions and punched him in the head, "Damn, you crazy person, I've actually wanted to flatten you for a long time." ”

While Bass was in a state of dizziness, Caton called the White House, "We'll find a way to connect the cables and make sure the artificial sun project is successful." "There is no moment of hesitation, no one on the battlefield tells you that you should run in that direction, any bullet that flies will kill you, there is no time to think, you have to find a way out through intuition. Compared to those dreamers, action is the soul of the Marine Corps.

He turned to the other sergeants, "Listen, now you all have to follow my instructions." ”

Everyone nodded when they saw that Buzz was in an abnormal state.

"We are now leaving the aircraft carrier and going to the bottom of the sea at a depth of a thousand meters to connect the cables. ”

Hearing this action order, everyone's eyes widened, not to mention going to the bottom of the sea, even leaving this cabin is a problem, "Sir, we can't move an inch. ”

"Squatting in the trenches forever, we're just going to get nowhere, guys, get moving. Caton's eyes looked around at the chamber, where steel pipes of various thicknesses intertwined and converged in the nuclear reactor, "Look, that's what we're aiming for." He pointed to one of the tubes, which did not freeze, and said that the tube extended from the reactor without connecting the mission equipment, and that there was a metal tie rod at the broken end of the tube. "If I'm not mistaken, it must be the reactor's emergency release valve to prevent overheating, and if you pull down that iron rod, there's a lot of hot steam coming out, and when the temperature in the room rises, we can get out of this damn place. ”

Someone raised his hand and said, "Sir, how do we get close to that lever?" The lever was four meters away from the reactor, and even if it ran at full speed, it was frozen and stiff before half the distance, let alone pull down the pole and run back.

Caton shrugged, "That's a great question, ...... that's it."

Everyone saw him frowning, and he couldn't make up for the words that followed for a long time.

"I'll go. A sergeant said.

Caton glanced at the sergeant, who was 1.9 meters tall and had slender arms due to his thinness, and asked, "Do you know the consequences of this? ”

"Sir, I'm a long jumper. He replied.

"I don't think you can figure it out yet, it's not an intercollegiate long jump, when you take a step from here, your hands and feet become numb, and on the second step, your whole body freezes, man, nobody gets there safely. ”

"Sir, I know. ”

"Do you have a problem with your brain?"

"No, I'm in my right mind. ”

"Then why go?"

"I love America, I love the earth, and I love all that God has created. ”

Caton looked at the man with his head up, nodded and said, "Warrior, what's your name?"

He replied in a loud voice, "Sir, my name is Wren." ”

"Wren, we'll be proud of you. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

Wren began to move his hands and feet, the key rattled, and in half a minute, his fingertips were aimed at the corners of his eyes and gave a military salute, and Caton gave a standard military salute.

His knees bent, his body squatted, his eyes fixed on the lever four meters away, and everyone followed him to hold his breath.

The moment the military leather shoes left the fireside, the white ice crystals began to condense on the uppers, and with a step, the ice spread along the fingers and tips of the shoes to all parts of the body.

When his body was in the air, his feet were already frozen, and he knew that his feet could no longer touch the ground, so his whole body stretched out, and his right hand reached for the lever, and his fingers froze.

He became an ice sculpture and flew over, his fingers shattering on the lever, followed by his arms, and his whole body shattered to the ground.

The lever was knocked off, and steam erupted from the mouth of the iron pipe, gradually filling the entire space, and the ice peeled off the immovable people, turning into running water, and the corpses fell to the ground.

Everyone felt that their bodies were warm, and they left the reactor and walked around in the white steam, and there was no longer freezing.

They gathered in front of a pool of blood, took off their military hats, and paid tribute to the dead soldiers.

"Everybody keep up, let's go connect the submarine cable. There's no time to grieve, Caton said to them with a wave of his hand.

Walking to the door of the power cabin, a figure blocked the way, holding a fire axe in his hand, glaring at them and saying, "No one can get out of here." ”
