In the early hours of the morning, the Army General Base of the Southern Theater of Operations ......

Major General Faulkner sat upright behind his desk, his short gray hair combed back behind his head, and the army uniform he wore was not wrinkled, showing his meticulousness.

But just as he received a phone call, after listening to the report from the other end, a strand of hair fell silently under the shaking of his body, and the peaceful face that was originally slightly smiling suddenly turned sharply, and suddenly became difficult to see.

After a few moments, his violently heaving chest gradually stabilized, but his brow furrowed, and he quickly picked up the phone and dialed another number.

After a few brief words on the phone, he hung up and put it aside, then narrowed his eyes slightly and tilted his head to stare at the half-hidden door of the office, putting on a thoughtful look.

"Tuk Tuk ......" "Tuk Tuk ......"

Within a few minutes, he saw a figure standing still in front of the door, reaching out and knocking on the door twice, Faulkner was a little relieved, and called, "Come in." ”

"General......

The man outside the door pushed the door and walked in, walked quickly to the desk, frowned slightly and nodded at Faulkner.

Looking up to meet his eyes and looking him up and down, Faulkner didn't make any response, nor did he say much nonsense, he went straight to the topic, and said in a deep voice:

"Colonel Jeffrey just summoned that the raid on the base of the Lattud branch was completely routed, several operational teams were wiped out, and during this time, a garrison on the border was bombed, and now more than 1,000 soldiers have been killed and wounded, and this result is all due to your misinformation, Quit......"

After calling the man's name lightly, Faulkner's tone suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "What kind of explanation do you think you should give me?"

"General......

The young man, whom he called Quet, could not help but twitch his eyelids twice when he looked at him, and a look of worry appeared on his face, and he spoke:

"I also just got the news about this matter, I didn't expect those guys of the Latitud organization to dare to sabotage the plan without authorization, and do so much at this time period, but ......"

After a pause, his voice suddenly changed, and he frowned: "But now that things have happened, it is obviously impossible to make up for it at this time, General, it seems that we can only activate the No. 1 emergency plan." ”

"Hmm. ”

Faulkner frowned and let out a long breath, and after pondering for a moment, he nodded helplessly, but before the voice fell, his eyes suddenly froze, and he said in a deep voice:

"Remember, Quart, we're not the madmen of Latitud, and you have to remember what we're involved in this project for. At present, most of those people at the top of the military and political sides are paying attention to the situation on the southwest border, and an inadvertent omission may make all our efforts go to waste, and I believe that as long as this matter is reported, you will definitely arouse the suspicion of some well-intentioned people, so ......"

Tapping his fingers on the table, Faulkner pondered for a moment before continuing: "From now on, temporarily cut off any contact with all sides, and ...... You draw up a report right away and submit it later. ”

"Okay. ”

Quirt nodded in response, made one last look at Faulkner, and then turned and walked out of the office.

............

Meanwhile, on the other side of the United States, in a richly decorated house in the Presidential Palace.

General Steele, the chief officer of the Special Division, carried a black suitcase and was led by the attendants, and as soon as he entered, he saw Mr. President, who was lying on the sofa with a book in his hand, staring at him.

When he approached, the president put down the book and sat up, then pointed to the side and said, "Sit ......."

Steele nodded, sat down, and leaned against the couch with the black box in his hand, and as he looked up to the side, he heard the president's voice in his ears.

"Steele ......"

Frowning slightly, Mr. President's eyes were gloomy and he asked, "What do you think about the series of events that happened last night?"

“......”

Meeting his gaze, Steele did not answer immediately, frowned and thought for a few minutes before replying: "Mr. President, I think that although those incidents last night are the source and focus, we should still focus on dealing with and containing the subsequent effects of these incidents. ”

The president nodded thoughtfully, and reached out for him to continue.

"To be honest, I don't think there's any surprise about the monster killings that took place in four different cities last night, and the previous one in Manhattan was obviously not accidental. Judging from the available information and related analysis, these monsters are probably doing something special by killing those specific groups of people, and I think that the Seven Sins Sect mentioned by Colonel Payne at the previous meeting may be an important direction, but ......"

As he was speaking, Steele suddenly shook his head and sighed, and said slowly:

"According to the current progress of the investigation, it is still far away to find out the real mastermind, the appearance and disappearance of these monsters are extremely strange, there is no trace of them at all, it is impossible to predict, and ...... Personally, I don't think it's possible to completely rule out the connection between these monsters and the Lattic organization. ”

"Of course, as I said earlier, the focus now should be on dealing with the aftermath. You should know that, Mr. President, seventy-seven people died every time that monster appeared, and the four killings last night and the one in Manhattan not long ago added up to five, for a total of three hundred and eighty-five deaths. ”

"The death of so many people, coupled with the many witnesses at the scene at the time, this monster killing incident has caused serious panic and riots among the people across the country, and the crowd of demonstrators is increasing significantly in the past few days, if the number of deaths continues to increase in the future, and the relevant public opinion will ferment at the same time, the consequences will be unimaginable, and in the end, it will ......."

At the last of his words, Steele did not say another word, but just stared at the president with a frown, and quickly fell silent.

After hearing this, the president couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face quickly turned solemn, of course he knew what the last words that Steele didn't say were.

He is well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and he also knows what the consequences will lead to, and he also understands that the popular demonstrations at this stage are just a trivial matter, and if this incident continues to ferment, it will be ......

The outcome is likely to be an irreparable upheaval, and a upheaval that will radiate throughout American society.

After a moment of silence, the president rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "You still continue to follow up and investigate the monster killing incident as originally planned, as for domestic public opinion and public security, I have already made arrangements, Steele, you only need to step up the investigation now to get the results out, and strive to control the danger of this kind of incident as soon as possible, you don't have to worry too much about the rest." ”

"Okay, I see. ”

Steele nodded, didn't say anything more, he naturally knew that the source of this matter still had to be rooted in those monsters, as long as those monsters were captured or tracked down to the real mastermind, the panic of the people and the riots in the country could naturally be contained in time.

"Hmm. ”

Seeing him nod, the president stroked his forehead and pondered for a moment, and after glancing at the black box standing next to the sofa, he quickly stood up with his hands on his hands and beckoned, "Come with me, let's talk in another place." ”

Steele was speechless, knowing what he wanted to do, nodded again, and then reached out and picked up the box and walked out with him.
