"Boom!"

The smoke and dust were everywhere, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and even if they were five or six kilometers away, they could still feel a slight tremor on the ground, as if a small earthquake had just occurred.

In the telescope of the BAU crowd, the lonely stone mountain in the distance seemed to be erupting as a volcano, and it was like a huge pressure cooker with a high-pressure valve plugged open.

Countless clouds of dust burst out from the inside of the mountain along with the light of fire, and the lonely stone mountain was stiffened by a large section after a violent tremble.

As the smoke and dust gradually cleared, the original rocky and towering mountain was gone, and the whole mountain completely changed, from a pointed bamboo shoot to a gravel and sand mound.

By this time, the time had come to the eighth day after the night of the massacre in Meihu Town, and a National Guard of nearly 1,000 men had been sent to the vicinity of the "Clark Test Field" five days earlier.

At the behest of Manad Andrews, who had half his life left, the guard cordoned off the stone mountain near the "Clark Test Ground".

Originally an abandoned gold mine, it was later used as an underground arsenal filled with dense tunnels and several connected underground warehouses, which were also used to evaluate the effects of a nuclear explosion during a secret nuclear test.

I don't know when this abandoned arsenal was taken over by those ogres and turned into their lair.

After three days and dozens of soldiers killed and wounded, the National Guard abandoned its plan to rid the monsters and planted tons of explosives directly in the mountain.

Then, the FBIs saw the scene before them.

The news of the monster attack on the town was finally suppressed, and after surrounding all the ogres who attacked the town, Red successfully contacted the outside world through a shortwave radio.

The Colorado Emergency Command Center, which had dealt with everyone in the crash, responded quickly, and all the FBI-SWAT teams stationed in Denver arrived in a helicopter overnight in the town of Lake America.

They blocked the crowd who were attending the festival by the lake and trying to return to the town after dawn, and then cordoned off the entire town under the pretext of being attacked.

While there will still be gossip, and while there will be questions about why terrorists would attack a remote town where birds don't, in modern society, a place that is cut off from the internet is a completely isolated island of information.

Jeremy's sabotage of local communications has done the FBI and Colorado authorities a great favor.

As long as you control the network in a region and take out the journalists who dare to approach it, then what has happened here is not up to those who really have the power to decide.

Bombing schools, blowing up hospitals, it was definitely not done by the righteous side that was once a victim of NC, and you are to blame for the crooked rockets.

Of course, the attack in Lake Lake didn't require this level of lockdown, and a few weeks later, a deep-pocketed, Texas oil and gas company moved in and became a real breaking news in the area.

Soon no one paid any attention to a small terrorist attack that did not cause many casualties.

After half a century of precipitation, the oil and gas resources near the "Clark Experimental Site" can really be exploited again.

At the very least, the amount of radiation from natural gas is reduced to a reassuring level and, in Rossi's words, much more environmentally friendly than the wastewater that an island nation discharges into the sea.

Of course, what happened after that had nothing to do with Jack, the ogre he encountered this time cost him a lot, and the Ford F150 was scrapped just after the run-in period.

Compared with that time in New Mexico, there was neither beauty nor glittering gold in the account, except for how awesome the after-effects of the adrenaline rush were that made Jiejie feel nothing.

Not long after returning to Los Angeles, he attended a grand and low-key peculiar wedding.

The grand wedding was attended by almost all the biggest political figures in California and the greater Los Angeles area.

The reason for the low profile was that no television or online media reported on the details of the wedding, and it only occupied a small page in the Los Angeles Times the next day.

Peculiarity, of course, refers to the fact that this wedding has two brides in wedding dresses and no groom.

This wedding is, of course, the same-sex wedding of Zoe Anderson and Maureen Cahill.

The real groom was busy in the back kitchen all day, and he didn't even dare to show his face, and the two brides in a wedding dress were too eye-catching, and the face of someone who knew the inside story was blue for the whole day.

It took Jack a whole week to coax Hannah to get right, and then Hannah stabbed her again.

However, the gentle Jiejie did not embarrass anyone too much, she still had lingering palpitations about the sequelae of this guy, and she didn't dare to provoke this animal too much in a short time.

——

Fortunately, a new case has appeared, and it is confirmed to be a serial murder case, and everyone has just gotten rid of the psychological shadow brought by the ogre case, and the spirit when they walked into the conference room was not bad.

"Six victims, died in a serial burglary homicide that took place in a scattered location in central California, in the order of Becklesfield, Flersno, Chico, and then Sacramento two days ago."

Jiejie listed the photos of the victims on the screen.

"California again? How many cases have we received in California? I have to say that Jack thinks that Rossi was too wise to set the base of the BAU team in Los Angeles in the first place.

"Isn't that too big? Is it confirmed that it is the same suspect? Of course, Rosie couldn't hear Jack's complaints, he was already fully engaged in the case.

"The same DNA was found in the victims' homes." Jiejie nodded.

Hodgner added on her behalf, "The reason why we didn't find a connection before was because the case crossed jurisdictions and the DNA test took too long." ”

"The Sacramento Police Department has a multi-agency task force and wants us to direct the investigation."

Red frowned as he looked at the dense list in the data, "Isn't there a little too many investigators?" I saw the names of at least forty or fifty detectives. ”

Hodchner nodded in agreement, "I'll downsize my staff if necessary." ”

"You better know one thing first, they gave the suspect a name and called the 'Highway 99 Killer.'" Jie Jie said with a wry smile.

Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly, not because there was any taboo, but because of this about naming the serial killer, it was a psychological shadow.

A female FBI agent who died in the line of duty did this before.
