"Not good, the target has started moving!"
In the command center, everyone looked solemn as they watched the sci-fi equipment displayed on the screen.
Even the posture of the target, with his head stuck into the belly of the aircraft, which looked a bit like he was hanging himself, seemed particularly serious.
"Do we have a clear picture of the target's face?"
"The picture has been transmitted."
"Where are the lip-reading experts?"
"They are studying it!"
Wang Wei frowned and said, "Number Three and Number Five, find a way to follow the target and don't let it get out of sight!"
"When will the result of the target's lip-reading study come out?"
"Ten minutes!"
The ticking sound of the clock was particularly noticeable in this command center. When the longest second hand turned eight full circles, the message from the information support team finally came.
"It's out!"
After multiple rounds of research and judgment by the expert team, the result of Song Han's lip-reading study was projected onto the huge screen in the command center.
However, the information on the screen was rather thought-provoking.
"Jian'an, Huashi, detonate a nuclear bomb, consequences, save the world."
Wang Wei stared wide-eyed and asked, "Did the expert group make a mistake?"
The staff member beside him explained, "In order to minimize the ambiguity of multi-syllabic words, the lip-reading experts conducted multiple rounds of research and judgment and first confirmed the words in the target's speech that had the least ambiguity. They can confirm that the accuracy rate of these words is over 80%."
Wang Wei opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He just stared blankly at the information on the screen.
Who am I?
Where am I?
I just got promoted, and you're telling me the world is about to restart?
"Not good, the target is lost!"
The information accessed through the satellite communication line made Wang Wei's stagnant thinking become active again.
Hearing the information in the earphone, Wang Wei angrily said, "What's going on? You two teams with more than a dozen people can't even keep an eye on one target?"
"The target disappeared with a flash. What should we do now?"
"What do you mean it disappeared with a flash?"
"It just flashed and then disappeared."
Wang Wei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Connect me to the target's phone!"
"There's a strange call from Country X trying to connect. Should we connect it?"
Song Han, who was being lifted and flown by the rotorcraft, was quickly switching the information screens transmitted by Jian'an. The six rotorcraft and the fully armed enclosed exoskeleton armor didn't give Song Han much of a sense of security.
He was still giving continuous instructions, using Jian'an to modify the traffic signal system in the urban area of Huashi to slow down the movement speed of that nuclear bomb truck as much as possible.
Worried that someone might discover his actions through vision, Song Han, who had just activated the optical camouflage system, frowned when he saw the strange phone number in front of him.
"Connect it."
"This is Wang Wei from the Special Operations Command Center."
"Hmm."
Song Han, who was observing the picture of the nuclear bomb truck in real-time, replied expressionlessly with a soft hum.
"We just interpreted some information through analysis and hope you can cooperate and help us understand it."
"What information?"
"Jian'an, Huashi, detonate a nuclear bomb, consequences, save the world."
Wang Wei said word by word, "Tell me what it means!"
As soon as Wang Wei's voice fell, Song Han stared at the information fed back by Jian'an and slightly frowned.
He had been careless. He didn't expect that someone would have been monitoring him with an astronomical telescope from ten kilometers away.
"Literally."
"What do you mean by literally?"
Song Han said impatiently, "There's currently a nuclear bomb truck code-named Caesar the Great moving in the city center of Huashi. According to the information I have, the other side intends to detonate it today to stimulate the Dead Hand System to be directly activated."
"What's the other side's purpose? And what's your purpose?"
Song Han was a bit impatient. "Isn't it obvious? Once the Dead Hand System is activated, tens of thousands of nuclear bombs that have been constantly aimed at the major cities around the world will immediately lift off. Coupled with the corresponding measures of various countries, what do you think the other side's purpose is!"
"How can you be sure of the authenticity of the information?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you!"
Song Han hung up the phone with a cold face.
Listening to the busy tone in the earphone, Wang Wei hesitated for a long time. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "Connect me to the Supreme Decision-making Level."
On the phone, Wang Wei described the problem they had encountered in as brief and accurate words as possible.
After his report ended, the other end of the phone also fell into a deathly silence as they digested this sudden and bewildering information.
"What were the affairs of the Six Dynasties, but just the whispers of one family? Go ahead and do it, kid."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Wei, who had temporarily obtained full authority, didn't feel proud of having power. Instead, he felt the heavy burden of carrying the whole world on his shoulders, which made his back unconsciously bend a little.
"Order all major military regions across the country to enter Level One Alert, and all fighter jets to take off immediately.
Code name: Saving the World."
After giving the order, Wang Wei looked at the team members who were frantically busy and turned to Liu Xi, who was looking at him with concern beside him, and smiled slightly.
"Connect me to Zero on the other side of the ocean."
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, Congressmen!
We all know that health is the most precious wealth in life. However, in our country, there are still many families worrying about medical expenses,..."
In the Capitol Building, the newly elected president was giving his first state of the nation address. Behind him, a row of his team members stood with smiles on their faces, looking at the people in the hall in a victorious manner.
Feeling the vibration of the phone that he didn't use very often on his body, one of them slowly took a step back. After seeing the caller ID clearly, although there were countless waves of shock in his heart, he still wore a calm smile on his face and silently answered the phone.
"A nuclear bomb with an unknown yield is in Huashi. The detonation time is unknown, and it is highly likely to be within 24 hours today. Stop the activation of the Dead Hand System."
The voice in the Bluetooth earphone made the smile on his face unable to be maintained any longer. After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and quickly walked onto the main podium.
The suddenly quiet venue made everyone a bit at a loss. The president from a minority ethnic group on the other side of the ocean looked at the team member he had formed with suspicion.
"Are you serious? What do you use to guarantee the accuracy of your information?"
The other side smiled calmly and said, "You know, when I tell you this news, death in a nuclear explosion is my best destination."
The president looked at his old partner with a complicated expression.
After a moment of silence, the president swept his gaze over the surprised congressmen and senior executives in the hall and suddenly said, "Quiet!"
When everyone's sight and attention began to focus again, he said seriously, "I have some bad news for you. There is currently a nuclear bomb in Huashi that will be detonated today. It could be in the next second or in a few hours."
"Mr. President, this joke isn't funny."
The dark complexion made it impossible to see the president's expression at this moment. He stared at the old and face of the Speaker of the House and slowly said, "I also hope it's a joke, but someone has staked everything on guaranteeing the accuracy of the information."
The president's words made everyone frown and look at the figure standing on the main podium, facing them calmly.
"I now order, in the name of the president, to immediately activate the national Level One Alert and temporarily lift the activation sequence of the Dead Hand System.
Order the military..."
One by one, the instructions were clearly conveyed from his mouth. However, while he was giving the orders, some people in the hall had already started to leave in a panic.
When all his orders were announced, he looked at the sparse seats in the hall, shrugged helplessly at the people standing behind him, and said, "You know, some people and some families are above the cohesion of the country.
I hope that most of the people in this world will still be able to see the sun tomorrow because of my arrangements."
"Aren't you leaving?"
As soon as the voice of the person behind him fell, the figure of the president was no longer visible under the protection of the special agents.
He stood in the middle of this chaotic venue, looked at the messy scene, and smiled with relief.
"I hope I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
