A long-standing storm has hit Newsland, the largest human settlement on the east coast of the Eagle Country.

Hurricane winds of up to Category 3 and a terrifying amount of more than 100 millimeters of rain in half an hour have had a severe impact on the city of 15 million people.

After the storm, the trees and houses that were not very strong along the way were all toppled, and the streets were full of water and garbage, and the scene of chaos turned this place where civilization gathered into an isolated island, isolating everyone from the terrifying power formed by heaven and earth, and what is more troublesome is that probably because of the damage to the power grid, most of the city has fallen into darkness.

But that's not the only trouble Newsland is currently facing.

"All regions should note that according to the provisions of the emergency plan for natural disasters, people who have left their houses are requested to actively cooperate with the command of the National Guard and carry out orderly evacuation"

Gleason, a former senior national security adviser who braved the rain while listening to the constant radio broadcast, was now worried that the traffic that filled all the streets and the National Guards, lined with heavily armed escorts and various tanks and armored vehicles, represented an unconscionable fact.

A Category 3 hurricane alone arranged for an emergency evacuation of a metropolis of 15 million people.

Clearly, the city is in the midst of a terrible crisis.

"Damn, those guys in Washington are definitely a bunch of bastards who deserve to go to hell, and they only think about the evacuation at such a time, and they have made such a bad and stupid excuse, can't they be smarter and responsible?"

Gleason and his family struggled to squeeze their way through the dense traffic and swore as they walked to a relatively spacious urban commons.

Two rescue helicopters were parked here, and at the open door, several soldiers of the guard were waving and shouting for them to hurry up.

"Mr. Gleason, ladies and gentlemen, please hurry, we have to hurry up for the next one.".

Sensing the urgency in their words, Gleason frowned, turned around and hurriedly said a few words of comfort to his family, and climbed into a helicopter on his left.

The phone call he received not long ago had already stated that as compensation for an emergency hire, the other would leave the "volcanic city on the verge of eruption" with his family safely, and that he himself would be going to a classified place to deal with a "troublesome problem".

At least that's what the original words say.

Kilometers in the sky.

Five of the only eight Walrus Jumbo transport helicopters on the East Coast have been transferred here.

The open doors below are constantly receiving rescue helicopters one after another, ready for the talents they need.

As the center of regulating and arranging the rescue force, a large number of sophisticated electronic instruments and equipment have been filled in the belly of the square-sized machine, and there are constantly those figures wearing various military uniforms and suits busily shuttling through, and the busy and tense scene has turned these air fortresses into a temporary battlefield command center.

So far, five Walrus Jumbo transport helicopters have included half of the Eagle Nation's defense agencies and all of Newsland's emergency response agencies.

Department of Homeland Security.

Joint Operations Command.

Emergency Handling Center.

This is almost a set-up for a national war.

And here is the highest-ranking government official that the Eagle Nation can mobilize at the moment. Deputy Minister of Defense, Assistant Minister of National Security, Director General of the National Emergency Rescue Agency, Commander of the Coast Guard, etc. As for the others, they were concentrated in Washington, D.C., the highest authority of the Eagle Nation.

At this time, most of these key members of the organization who can only be seen on TV news have lost their former demeanor, and are sitting around a large round table isolated by a glass room in the center of the belly, arguing and roaring at the city map projected on it, and their faces are gloomy and aggrieved.

"Three hours! Gentlemen, do you know the current situation From the three hours of the National Guard entering the city, we only evacuated more than a million people, and this efficiency is a disaster for the whole city, we will definitely not be able to complete the evacuation in the allotted time, and we may not even reach half of it"

"Nothing to negotiate, I think each of you knows that the planes at the airport can't take off at all in the current situation, and the main intersections are also filled with chaotic evacuees, so what I need is more National Guard to come and maintain order and send a large number of helicopters in"

"Shut up stupid, how many people can be evacuated by helicopters, you said it was only for the evacuation of important personnel, damn, do you want all of us to be censored after the fact, in fact, I have a good idea to urgently mobilize large cargo ships on all routes on the east coast, with the help of this capacity, we can achieve the evacuation mission"

"As the head of the Coastal Defense Center, I have to remind you that the current situation is not optimistic, under the wind and waves of this level, unless we let large ships directly transport personnel in the dock, we can only risk sending vehicles to send evacuees from the dock into the cabin, I hope no one will be blown away, we seem to have two transport docks directly connected to the rails, you can try to load evacuees by train"

It wasn't until he saw Gleason come in that William Ward, the undersecretary of defense, stopped arguing, smiled a little reluctantly, and left the round table to greet him.

"Consultant Gleason, welcome to you, I think I should have said in the previous call, we are currently in a big trouble, as the best trace science in the country and the best urban safety management expert in Newsland, I hope you can provide us with some clues to solve the trouble."

"Well, wait a minute, gentlemen."

In the face of the deputy secretary's compliment, Gleason did not dare to agree: "Before I provide clues, can you explain the current situation, why I can see that there are hundreds of thousands of National Guard troops pouring into Newsland, and what is going on with those ships and ships near the port, I don't think that a so-called big trouble can make Washington make such a level of transfer, even if the last Orleans hurricane was only arranged for the evacuation of 2.3 million people."

The corners of Gleeson's mouth, which had reached his twilight years, twitched slightly, and what he had seen along the way, coupled with the outrageous lineup he had seen so far, made him feel dizzy.

What kind of catastrophe actually wants to evacuate a metropolis of fifteen million people.

This is not something that can be explained by a "big trouble".

Looking at Gleeson's shocked appearance, Deputy Secretary William motioned for him to be calm, stretched out his finger and pointed to the LCD screen on the table and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but we don't have much time, to make a long story short, this is a picture taken in the past week related to this trouble, I think you can tell something from it." ”

Under the supervision of the confidential secretary, the rapidly changing photographs showed various scenes of ruined ruins, with a large amount of undistinguishable rubble and other debris scattered throughout the messy blast site, making it difficult to discern what they were, but Gleason was able to identify them almost instantly.

The City Road Management Center, the Branklin Cargo Forwarding and Distribution Warehouse, the Orthodox City Management Building, the Newsland Police Headquarters, the City Water Purification Company, and the Metroly East Power Plant, which provides the vast majority of the city's electricity.

(Six important institutions related to the functioning of the city.) ）

With more than 30 years of professionalism, Gleason quickly figured out the underlying patterns in the many photographs, and when he thought of some of the recent rumors that had been inexplicably controlled, he immediately thought of the problem.

"Terrorist attacks on city operating facilities?"

Deputy Minister William nodded imperceptibly: "You are right, but this is not an ordinary terrorist attack, but a real national disaster, a crisis that is enough to upend the regime, and if it is not effectively controlled, it will have a greater impact than the disaster twelve years ago." ”

In Gleeson's confused gaze, he reached out and motioned for a tall man next to him with the title of Chief Superintendent on his shoulder to come out and explain.

"These are the six bomb terrorist attacks that have occurred in a week, and it all started when the police received a warning email seven days ago that there would be a bomb explosion in Newsland within 24 hours, and indicated the specific location - the city road management center, and as a precaution, we arranged for the evacuation of all personnel in the building, and sent the best security forces and bomb disposal experts to deal with it, but unfortunately, the other side hid the bomb in a clever way, and we did not find the bomb planted until the explosion."

"We started thinking it was a separate case, but for the next six days, every day the police received a warning email, followed by a warning email informing us of the location of the explosion and allowing us to locate the bomb within the specified time limit, but"

"I know you haven't found it!"

Gleason interrupted the man's speech with a sudden voice, and he said in a loud voice to everyone present: "Don't think about it, I bet my twenty years of experience in the Ministry of Security that the guys who planted the bombs were not only professional enough, but they must have been a bunch of lunatics who knew about our system, and they deliberately used this explicit means to provoke us and make us have to gamble with our lives even when we know that we are in danger, so as to humiliate us, provoke us, and completely crush us after satisfying their perverted and twisted mental habits." ”

"I'm sure that, judging by their pride, there must not have been many abusive sentences in these six emails, but the whole must have been filled with an indescribable haughty contempt for us, treating us like clowns to be manipulated."

The police superintendent nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, the advance announcement made the staff at the six consecutive explosion sites unharmed, only 13 of the police officers and security experts we stationed in the station died, and 28 people were injured, this is still the relationship between the later reduction of the stationed personnel, however, the other party is not them, but he alone, the content of the email has been confirmed by our language and psychological experts, there is more than 95% of the possibility to be determined, and only one person committed the crime." ”

"And where is it this time?" Gleason didn't care about the number of people who committed the crime, but interrupted the superintendent again and asked the most crucial question.

There was a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his questioning tone, because subconsciously, Gleason had already sensed that the next answer would be terrifying.

What kind of crisis can make the whole city need to be evacuated.

In the dim light, there was silence for more than ten seconds, except for the monotonous hum of the 3D projector inside the round table.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to answer, and in the end, it was Deputy Minister William who spoke.

He said in an unusually heavy and serious tone: "As you think of the most unlikely outcome, he intends to blow up the entire city of Newsland!" ”

"He's trying to crush us completely, and unfortunately we have enough evidence to prove it."
