"General, 24 hours have passed, but the government has put all the responsibility on a crazy major general. This obviously does not take us seriously."
One of the men yelled at Harris angrily.
Harris glanced at him and said calmly: "Then what do you think we should do?"
The subordinate gritted his teeth and said: "I think we should launch a missile to let the senior people understand that we are not joking."
When the others heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change.
Seizing arms from a base, occupying an island, and kidnapping dozens of hostages is nothing compared to destroying a city.
Even if these soldiers are mentally prepared, when they really want to launch missiles, their hearts are still full of entanglements and contradictions.
Harris had a cold face and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said coldly: "Start the missile preheating system and let those in the White House know that we are indeed not joking."
"As you command, General!"
Several men left in a hurry.
Soon a warning message came from the Pentagon. James, who hurried back, placed a satellite photo on the desks of the Speaker of Congress and Benjamin, and said anxiously: "This is the latest satellite photo. From it, we can see that there are two The missile has begun to heat up, which means the missile is ready for launch and can be launched at any time!"
"Damn it!" Benjamin stood up and said angrily, "This is blackmailing us. Harris wants to use this method to force us to submit."
The Speaker of the National Assembly said calmly: "Even so, what can we do to counter it?"
Benjamin was stunned. After a moment, he frowned and said, "I wonder how Sherren is preparing? Mr. Speaker, you just talked to him on the phone. Didn't he say that he is ready to go?"
Before the Speaker of Congress could speak, James said anxiously: "Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, I think Sherron should be able to destroy Harris and other terrorists. But the missile is preheating, which means that the launch system is ready, and it is even possible. There is no need to press the launch button, it will launch automatically, so I cannot guarantee that Sherren will be able to intercept all missiles."
"If we can't stop all the missiles, what's the use of killing all the terrorists?" Benjamin said anxiously, "Even if only one missile falls on the city, then all our previous efforts will be in vain. It’s flowing.”
James tightened his eyebrows and stared at Benjamin with a somewhat unkind expression: "Perhaps if we let Sherron take action from the beginning instead of sending those SEALs to die in vain, then there wouldn't be such a difficult situation now!"
"you… "
Because of the deaths of those SEALs, Benjamin felt guilty in his heart. When he heard James' words, his face suddenly turned red, he pointed his finger at James, and was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." The Speaker of Congress came forward to smooth things over. "James, please tell Sherron that you just have to do your best. No matter what the outcome, he is the hero who saves the city."
Deep underground on Alcatraz Island, abandoned mines are like spider webs, winding and twisted. In this blinding darkness, a ball of fire suddenly lit up, like a will-o'-the-wisp, drifting over.
After getting closer, I saw clearly that this was not a will-o'-the-wisp, but Mason holding a homemade torch and walking in the abandoned tunnel, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
That's right, in the previous battle, this eighty-year-old man escaped very cunningly and hid his traces, so much so that Harris' men did not even notice his presence when they were cleaning the battlefield.
It's just that this old guy didn't take advantage of the opportunity to escape. Instead, he walked deeper into the abandoned mine, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Every time Mason walked a certain distance, he stopped and looked around carefully. After finding the secret mark he left back then, he continued to move forward. In this way, he stumbled for a long time in the dark tunnel filled with spider webs and stagnant water before finally arriving at an empty cave.
It looks like a naturally formed cave. The limestone above the head has been eroded by water droplets over the years, forming sharp stalactites. From time to time, water droplets drip from above to the lake below.
Mason held the torch and looked at the pitch-black lake, frowning. He didn't know how deep it was, and he didn't wear any extra diving equipment. For a while, he really didn't dare to go into the water.
"...Darker than darkness, deeper than midnight, colder than ice cubes, hotter than fire..."
Mason murmured, "What on earth does this mean?"
A dark wind blew from nowhere, and the flames on the torch suddenly swayed messily. Mason was startled and turned around hastily. The surrounding darkness was silent, except for his own breathing and the crackling sound of the burning torch, there was no abnormal movement.
But for some reason, Mason had a feeling that from the moment he entered the mine, there was something hiding in the dark, staring at him.
As a former 007, Mason knows a lot of secrets. For example, he has encountered ghosts or other supernatural phenomena. Therefore, he also mastered some exorcism spells. Even if a ghost is really targeting him in the darkness, he can still escape.
The key now is the black lake in front of us.
Do you want to go into the water or not
Mason hesitated.
If you don't go into the water, maybe the secret you are looking for is hidden at the bottom of the lake.
But if you go into the water, what if there is any danger in the lake? In any case, he is already eighty years old and his health is not as good as before. If he encounters any danger underwater, he may not be able to come out.
While Mason was hesitating, there was suddenly a rumble above his head, just like the muffled thunder before a summer storm. Then the surroundings began to tremble slightly, and pieces of fine gravel fell from the roof of the cave.
"What's going on?" Mason looked up nervously at the stalactites on the roof of the cave, trembling slightly. "Could it be that the US government didn't care about the safety of the hostages and directly bombed the island?"
Before he finished speaking, there was another loud noise, and this time the mine was no longer shaking slightly, but shaking violently. Just hearing a "click" sound, a stalactite broke from the roof of the cave and smashed into the lake.
Mason gritted his teeth and looked at the falling rocks. Finally, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and dove into the lake. But after entering the lake, Mason found that there was no darkness under the water as he imagined, but instead a strange white light emitted.
He looked up from the water and found that the vibration outside was more intense, and more stalactites broke and fell. He was so frightened that he had to swim to the deeper bottom of the lake.
"This old guy doesn't dare to go into the water without using some means."
Xie Lun stood not far away and reached out to release his hand from the rock wall: "Go and explore the path first to see if there is a treasure or a trap hidden underneath?"
