Ding-ling-ling!"
"…Who is it?"
Thaddeus Ross and Karen Ross, who were sleeping at their home in Arlington County, were awakened by the ringing of their cell phones. Karen opened her eyes and asked a question with some displeasure. Ross turned on the bedside lamp, took the phone, looked at it, and answered it while saying, "Lake."
Karen's sleepiness disappeared immediately.
"Lake?"
"General, you should know General Moses from Biggs Army Base at Fort Bliss."
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Lake briefly informed General Ross of what had just happened, and then said, "I would like to have the authority to use the forces of the Army base."
Ross said directly: "No problem, I'll call Moses."
"Thanks!"
"Are you okay?"
"fine."
Ross said yes, then got up from the bed and called the private number of General Moses, the director of Biggs Army Base at Fort Bliss.
Karen also stood up: "What's wrong?"
"Lake was attacked."
"What?"
General Ross simply told Karen about Lake's attack in the small town of Vega, Texas, then made a hushing gesture and started chatting with General Moses who answered the phone.
Thaddeus Ross and General Moses, also in the Army, were old friends. Simply put, their friendship was a life-or-death relationship. After a few words, General Moses said directly, "I just received a report that our network was hacked. No problem, Lake is also a major in the military. I authorize the military to investigate this matter with him."
Ross thanked him and called again.
Wait until the phone is hung up again.
Ross said to Karen, who was also getting up, "I've already given the order. I'll rush to Texas immediately."
MMP.
On the federal mainland, attacking a major in the military who had a promising future and was almost destined to become a general, was that a bold move?
Who gave you the courage?
It was given by Hydra.
"What?"
Merrick listened to Daniel Whitehall's call, which had just ended and then returned, and heard the words coming from the other end: "This is impossible. Lake Edwin is dead."
Daniel Whitehorse suppressed his anger and asked, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Dr. Merrick certainly didn't see it himself.
but...
"When I gave the self-destruct command, there were no other heat-energy creatures nearby. I'm sure no one could escape from the house and hide their heat in such a short time."
"You mean I lied?"
"I dare not."
Daniel Whitehall clutched the phone. "Everyone on Pennsylvania Avenue knows the news. The military major was attacked. Ten seconds before we spoke, the Department of Homeland Security officially authorized a full investigation into Lake Edwin. Even the Pentagon immediately received the military investigation authority for Lake Edwin from Fort Bliss's Biggs Army Base. What have you done, idiot? I told you clearly: you used the worthless Will Wick as bait to kill Lake Edwin. What about you?"
Damn it.
Use bait and wait until Lake Edwin enters the ambush site, then detonate the explosives and fly straight into the sky to end it all. It is simple, crude, direct and effective.
What's the result?
You had five fucking armed helicopters that deceived the military radar and then launched a direct airstrike. What is this? This is a fucking terrorist attack. It would be fine if you just killed them, but you did it without even confirming anything clearly?
Daniel Whitehall said in a cold tone: "Who gave you the courage? Tell me, Merrick!"
Dr. Merrick frowned and said, "Sir, these are your orders."
"Nonsense."
"It's true."
Dr. Merrick then said, "This was authorized by Dr. Zora. After our first attack failed, Dr. Zora calculated that there was only a ten percent chance that Lake Edwin would personally go to the ambush site. To avoid further complications, this approach is certainly very risky, but if it can kill Lake Edwin, it's actually acceptable. I even called you to confirm it."
"What?"
Daniel Whitehall said, "When."
Dr. Merrick replied, "Just half an hour before the attack."
This is impossible.
I was playing at the time.
Daniel Whitehall's brows suddenly furrowed. "Are you sure it was Dr. Zola who told you?"
Dr. Merrick said, "Yes."
Daniel Whitehall hung up the phone directly.
Dr. Merrick opened his mouth and said, "Boss, you haven't told me what to do next?"
Now, let's talk about Daniel Whitehall over there.
After he hung up the phone, he tried to connect to Dr. Zora directly through a specific method, but there was no response and a warning pop-up window appeared on the computer.
Under attack?
Fuck.
Daniel Whitehall hurried to the computer's power supply, unplugged it directly, and instantly pulled the network cable out from the network card.
Damn it.
What exactly happened?
New York!
Stark Industries.
"Sir, the other party is preparing to escape again."
"Escape, where to run to?"
Tony Stark was in high spirits, his hands practically catching fire from hammering away at the keyboard as he stared at the signal source, who was once again trying to escape his pursuit. "He's strong, but not as strong as me!"
finally.
Tony finally felt his presence in the field he was good at. He was no longer the one who was despised for not being able to arrive at the scene.
Perhaps, in terms of realistic threat, Lake Edwin is far superior to Tony.
But on the Internet.
Tony Stark's threat is actual nuclear weapons.
I'll see where you can escape.
Tony Stark watched as the source of the signal was once again cornered. "Jarvis, resolve the coordinates."
In the basement of Stark Manor in Malibu, Jarvis's computer was operating at full capacity: "Capturing the target, analyzing it ..."
at the same time.
Wow wow wow wow!
In Washington, D.C., homeland security agents and federal agents knocked on the door of an apartment.
Rachel, who was sleeping, rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door.
Rachel blinked at the men in uniform at the door.
What's going on?
"Miss."
The Homeland Security Agent pulled out his ID and said expressionlessly to Rachel, who had opened the door, "DHS, you need to come with us immediately."
Rachel: "…"
Before Rachel could react, when she came to her senses, she found that she had already walked out of the apartment holding the hand of her adopted daughter Qiao Xi.
Boom boom boom!
Rachel and Qiao Xi looked up and saw an armed helicopter on the roof of the apartment building making a deafening sound as it prepared to land on the road in front of the apartment building.
New York!
Jack led the team directly, showed his Homeland Security credentials, and went straight all the way to the top floor of the Star Building. After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response, so he broke in and left.
but...
Skye wasn't there.
There were no signs of fighting or anything suspicious in the house.
Jack thought for a moment and turned around: "Downstairs!"
Cassell's house downstairs.
"DHS!"
After Cassel opened the door, Jack looked inside, then walked in and said to Skye, who was indeed with Alexis, "Skye, you have to come with us now."
Skye knew Jack, after all, it was Jack's wife who brought him meals every day when her brain was opening.
Skye stood up and looked at the Homeland agents and NYPD officers filing in. "What's going on, Uncle Jack?"
Jack directly took Skye's hand and walked towards the door: "To prevent the worst from happening!"
Skye: "…"
Boom boom boom!
Similarly, on New York's Fifth Avenue, when Skye came out under Jack's escort, a military attack helicopter had already begun to land on the spot.
Yes.
To prevent the worst from happening.
This time, this unknown organization made such a big move to try to assassinate Lake Edwin. Unfortunately, Lake is still alive and well. God knows what actions they will take next.
Lake is certainly not afraid of any threats.
But General Ross was not as confident as Lake. He first notified Secretary Kelly and asked the latter to order the direct linkage between the District of Columbia and New York. Then, the military was dispatched directly to prepare to take Skye and Rachel to the Quantico base for protection to prevent the mastermind behind this time from becoming desperate or planning to die together.
"Skye?"
Jason, the leader of SEAL Team B, came out of the attack helicopter with his team members and walked towards Skye who was standing behind Jack. After getting Jack's confirmation, he said to Skye, "My name is Jason, Lake's comrade. General Ross asked me to take you to Quantico. Let's go."
Skye didn't recognize Jason and looked at Jack.
Jack nodded towards Skye and confirmed the information to Skye: "Lake is on the battlefield, you can rest assured that your back is in Jason's hands."
Skye understood.
soon.
Jason took Skye back to the attack helicopter, and the team members who were on guard nearby also returned. As Jason spoke, the attack helicopter took off again, and under the escort of two wingman hovering in the air, it quickly moved towards the Quantico base.
Jack looked away as he watched the helicopter disappear quickly.
Just then.
A message came through Jack's headset.
Tiffany's.
"Jack, go to Stark Industries right now."
"how?"
"Tony Stark has tracked down that damn hacker. Take Tony with you. The deputy director authorizes you to handle this matter with full authority. Bring all the agents you can and bring that damn hacker to me, even if he's dead."
"clear!"
Jack nodded in response and looked around at his team members: "Get in the car, Stark Industries!"
The team members nodded quickly and quickly got back on the bus with expressionless faces.
