Walking out of the room, the two came to the corridor outside, leaning on the right side and walking all the way, one after the other, without hurrying or slowing down.

At this time, the sun had jumped out of the horizon, and a little sunlight swayed through the eaves of the corridor to the side of the two people's bodies, in the interplay of light and shadow, Mr. President in front of him walked as usual, but Steele, who was close behind, suddenly paused when the sun fell on him.

But within a few seconds of stopping, he followed briskly again.

But in just a few moments, his body seemed to have undergone some kind of miraculous change, the half of his face that was illuminated by the sun suddenly turned into a translucent state, the hairs on his skin were all retracted, and all the wrinkles disappeared, compared with the left side of his face, he looked like he was dozens of years younger.

However, when he stepped forward again, all these changes disappeared in an instant, and Steele returned to his middle-aged and elderly appearance in his fifties.

"Steele ......"

As he continued to walk, Steele's expression did not change in the slightest, but when the two of them were halfway through, the president's footsteps, with his back slightly hunched in front of him, suddenly slowed down, as if he remembered something, glanced back at him, and asked:

"You should have heard the news of the failure of the border raid and the bombing of the garrison last night, don't you think this matter is a little strange?"

"Well, it's a little weird indeed. ”

Steele nodded in response, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "It stands to reason that since the Latitud organization dares to provoke disputes, it proves that they must have made arrangements and countermeasures in all aspects in advance, but when our follow-up troops just arrived, the address of their branch base was found, which is obviously extremely abnormal. ”

"And what happened next is not surprising, and now it seems that this information was deliberately disseminated by them, in order to set a trap and take advantage of the fact that the garrison did not pay too much attention to them, so as to take advantage of some opportunities. ”

"Although our southwest border garrison is now in the open and the Latitud organization is in the dark, their top brass should know very well that when the strength and armament of the two sides are very different, they can only rely on the unequal information in the early stage to create some surprise attacks, so as to try to recover the subsequent disadvantages. ”

"However, because of the failure of last night's raid, I think the Latitud organization must have managed to plant some spies in our intelligence services, some of whom even occupy important positions, otherwise this trap they set would not have succeeded so easily. ”

Although the president's pace slowed down a little, he did not stop, and continued to walk, but when he heard Steele say some aspects, his brow inadvertently furrowed slightly, and he did not seem to approve of his words.

But he also knew in his heart that Steele's answer and analysis were relatively incorrect, although the direction of the answer was not what he wanted to hear.

According to his assumption, what the Latitud organization is doing now is undoubtedly in vain, and when the battle between the two sides gradually enters the white heat, it will be impossible for them to continue to hide in the shadows as they are now, and when they are completely exposed, they can launch a full-scale clean-up operation and destroy them in one fell swoop.

However, before that, it is naturally impossible for the Latituds to confront the large forces of the United States, and they will definitely still use the methods of surprise attacks, guerrillas, or blitzkriegs, so to speak......

At this stage, due to the asymmetry of information between the two sides and the huge difference in strategy, this is destined to be an unconventional war that is different from the norm.

His thoughts turned around in his mind, and the president didn't refute anything, but then asked: "Then what do you think of the statement issued by the Mexican side this morning, using the remnants of those commandos as evidence to make trouble?"

"From the beginning of the failure of the assault operation, these were already expected. ”

Steele chuckled and replied: "If there are no forces behind it, how could the Latitud organization take the lead in provoking the dispute, the reason why they did this is undoubtedly premeditated, and now the Mexican official has taken this opportunity to jump out first, and the latter ...... There will definitely be a lot of bright and dark forces jumping out one after another. ”

As the words fell, he suddenly strode forward a few steps to walk side by side with the president.

The president, on the other hand, glanced at him at the side of him, and the two of them did not open their mouths to say anything, but each nodded his head in understanding.

After that, the two of them did not talk any more along the way, and walked straight down the corridor to an empty hall, and finally took a secret elevator hidden behind the fireplace in the hall to a secret room underground.

The whole secret room is about seventy or eighty square meters, surrounded by silver walls with metallic textures, and the interior of the room also seems very empty, only in the center there is a square glass table half a person high.

As soon as the two entered, the door of the secret room slammed shut, and there was no gap in the seams.

Steele was accustomed to this, walked slowly to the glass table, laid the black metal box in his hand on the table, glanced sideways at the president standing beside him, and after he nodded, he immediately opened the box.

With a light tap of both hands on both sides of the box, with a "bang" sound, the box opened on its own, followed by a white mist formed by the volatilization of the refrigerant.

When the white mist dissipated, two cylindrical items with metal frames and glass materials, which seemed to be syringes, came into the eyes of the two of them, and each of these two syringes contained dozens of milliliters of liquid, but this liquid looked very strange.

Inside the first syringe was a faintly fluorescent, brownish-green liquid that could be seen slowly turning transparent as the light from the ceiling of the room fell through the glass test tube, and finally seemed to disappear completely.

Inside the second syringe was a dark red liquid darker than blood, which seemed to be active, churning inside and turning into various strange shapes every few seconds.

After staring at the two syringes for a while, the president looked up at Steele and asked out loud, "Are those guys dead?"

"I can't die for the time being, but I shouldn't live long. ”

Steele reached out and stroked the second syringe and said with a smile: "Since the start of this experimental project, those dregs of life have gradually dissipated in the experiments, but fortunately, the experiment was finally successful before they died. ”

"Hmm. ”

Without asking any more questions, the president replied, looked Steele up and down, and asked, "How are you feeling after the injection?"

Steele didn't answer, just chuckled twice, and at the same time the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Then I saw that his whole face was like ripples on the surface of the water, instantly turned translucent, and then regained his flesh color in the next instant, but at this time, all the wrinkles on his face had disappeared, and the whole person completely turned into a young man in his twenties.

His eyelids twitched twice, and the president took a deep breath, and instead of looking at him again or saying more, he reached out and touched the corner of the side of the glass table.

After withdrawing his hand, the president immediately turned to look to the left, only to see a human pod enclosed in a glass cover silently protruding from the metal wall on the other side.

Walking to the side of the human body cabin, he reached out and pressed the button to open the glass cover, and then took off his upper clothes and lay down directly.

At this time, Steele also took out the two syringes from the metal box and walked over, and when the president saw him walking to his side, he subconsciously clenched his fists and said, "Let's start." ”

Steele nodded, reached out and re-closed the glass cover, then placed the syringes in his hand into the recesses on either side of the human pod.

After doing all this, he carefully checked it again, and when he finally confirmed that it was correct, he gestured to the president inside, and directly reached out and pressed a red button in front of the cabin.
