Chapter 18: The Kremlin's Gaze

Moscow with a light snow was so silent, and looking down Red Square, there was a solemnity all around. In this early winter season, the city in the cold zone is in a cold silence in the dark night.

In the icy silence, unlike any other. Even in the early hours of the morning, the Kremlin, the heart of the Russian Empire, was still brightly lit.

In front of the mahogany desk in the large office, the ruler of the empire, the protector of the all-Russian people, the defender of the Orthodox Church, and the president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, lay under a thick Russian-style lamp and wrote something.

There was a knock at the door, and Putin picked up what he had written, looked at it, and then shouted "Come in!" ”

When the door to the office opened, a general with a medal on his chest walked in.

"Denny, what's the important thing to keep you coming so late?" Putin asked, looking at the commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Defense Forces and commander-in-chief of the Strategic Early Warning Center in front of him.

The Russian general hurriedly handed over a document to Putin and said, "Your Excellency, according to the detection of our strategic reconnaissance satellite, just 25 minutes ago, there was a nuclear explosion in the air in Colorado, USA. According to the information available to us, the form of the explosion was different from that of the existing nuclear weapons. ”

After carefully reading the report in his hand, Putin put it on his desk.

"Are the Americans crazy enough to conduct two nuclear tests in a row on their own soil?" After thinking for a while, Putin said with a half-smile.

"Your Excellency, the last nuclear explosion in Raccoon City was to cover up some kind of accident. And this nuclear explosion is obviously different, if the Americans want to conduct aerial nuclear tests, it is completely possible to do so in the Western Desert, not near big cities. The commander of the Air Defense Force said.

While the two were talking, the phone on Putin's desk rang.

Putin picked up the phone and listened. After listening to it for a while, he said, "Great! Let him come to the Kremlin now and report to me in person. ”

Then he looked at the general and said, "Our intelligence department has something interesting for us to see. ”

Lubeck Hotel Denver

Angie sits in the room in front of a TV set that plays cartoons constantly.

The room, which had only been lit by a TV, was suddenly illuminated, and Angie, who had been sleepy, was awakened by the sound of an explosion that followed.

Awakened, Angie hurriedly looked out the window, and saw that a huge ball of light in the sky outside the window illuminated the entire sky extremely brightly.

Not only Anji, but not even the city of Denver, but the entire state of Colorado and several surrounding states can clearly see this ball of light.

Just as Angie was looking at the ball of light in the air in confusion, there was a knock at the door.

This time, Angie looked outside through the door and asked, "Who are you?" Brother Luke won't let me open the door to strangers. ”

"Strangers? No, no, no, I'm not a stranger. You haven't seen me, but I've seen Jill and Carlos or the mountains. A woman's voice came from outside the door.

She must be a good person who knows so many people, right? Besides, her voice doesn't sound like a bad guy. Angie thought.

Angie then opened the door, and Ada, dressed in a red tights, walked in.

After entering the room, Ada squatted down and touched Angie's face and said, "What a cute little girl." ”

"What are you doing here?" Angie asked like Ada.

"I'm here, of course, to keep you safe. It's not safe here, you need to come with me right away. After Ida finished speaking, she grabbed Angie's hand and prepared to walk out.

But Angie struggled to get rid of Ada.

"Brother Luke said he'd come back to me when he was done." Angie said.

"Luke? I'm afraid he's turned to ashes. Ada said as she looked at Angie's face.

"An impulsive person like him simply can't complete the task of stopping Skynet." After a pause, Ada continued, "But it's good that there's still me. ”

At the same time, on a hill next to the road leading to the airport in the suburbs of Denver. Ada, who was dressed in a green tights, looked at the man next to her and said, "This drama is really big, and I'm curious about how important the people on the plane are, and the military is to the point of using nuclear weapons." ”

The man next to him didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the ball of light in the sky. There is no expression under the cover of the sunglasses.

After some waiting, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia finally felt the office of the president of the Kremlin.

After seeing the director, Putin waved his hand and said, "Don't waste time, we now want to know what your intelligence is?" I can't even say anything about the secret communication line. ”

The director swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Excellency, this may sound strange, but I want you to believe it. ”

Putin looked at the intelligence chief and said nothing.

"Based on the work of Dr. Luskoravsky, we can confirm that someone has changed the entropy of our world." The Intelligence Chief said.

"Even though I know every word, why can't I understand it when they are connected? Also Who is Dr. Luskoravsky? The commander of the Air Defense Force asked confusedly.

When President Putin heard this, he did not fall into the same confusion as the commander of the Air Defense Forces.

The half-smiling expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a serious and cold expression.

"So the time machine you reported to me before was successfully running in the future in an unknown amount of time, and what else did it send to the present?" Putin said coldly.

"Time machine? What are you talking about... The commander of the Air Defense Force wanted to say more, but he ran head-on into President Putin's cold expression.

"Your Excellency, your guess is consistent with ours. We think what is happening in the United States now has something to do with this. The intelligence chief said.

"But, I remember you told me about the time machine. Russia is unique! But now it's actually affecting the United States? Putin said coldly.

"Probably ... It may be that the Russian leader wants to deal with the United States in the future, so he will target the United States... You see that the United States suffered two nuclear explosions... The intelligence chief wiped the cold sweat from his head and said.

Putin looked at him, did not answer, but stood up and slowly walked to the window.

Looking at the snowflakes flying outside, he muttered "I will not allow anyone, any country, any organization to harm the great Mother Russia!" ”

Then he turned to the intelligence chief and said, "Interfering in the US election is not your focus now, your focus is to figure out who is back in the present!" What the hell is his purpose! ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, President! After saying that, he hurriedly left the office.

Subsequently, the commander of the Air Defense Forces also left. Putin was the only one left in the spacious office. Looking at the snow falling more and more outside the window, Putin could not calm down for a long time.

Russia has enough difficulties now, I hope there will be no more trouble! Putin thought silently.
