Darkness is Coming

The mutants stood up from all corners of the city and fought to the death against the monsters that invaded Los Angeles. In the corners where the searchlights of the US federal army failed to shine, they stepped forward to protect every US federal citizen who needed protection. .

  The messy battle situation began to improve, but the key officers sitting in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center did not feel relieved at all, and they all saw the deep worry in their eyes and expressions.

"Mr. President, it has been confirmed that the operation center is safe, and there are no security loopholes in the perimeter and the White House." The head of the secret service team whispered good news in William's ear. After a simple round of experiments, the White House can be temporarily excluded. There is the possibility of mutants - this method of using food to test is not very clever, but it is currently the most efficient method. Maybe there will be nails buried by mutants in the White House, but all the personnel in the emergency operations center There will be no problem.

  William nodded and looked at the others. Now that the pressure on the frontal battlefield in Los Angeles has eased, they must seize the time to discuss the future countermeasures.

   "I want to know, where did these mutants come from? Is there a deeper conspiracy?" William first looked at the CIA director.

   The director stood up and made a report. Under normal circumstances, he did not need to do so, but what happened today made him feel extremely ashamed.

"Our idea is that after the Huaxia Yuanjiang Dome disappeared, these mutants left Huaxia from the sea. Although Huaxia is trying to build a world-class powerful navy, its naval strength is still limited, especially the seabed detection technology." All of you here know where the pressure from Huaxia Navy and the development of electronic chips and other industries is hindered.

"It only takes up to twenty-four hours for a normal person to transform into a zombie without the injection of serum. Due to the difference in individual physique, this time is often much earlier. A zombie only needs to eat a dozen or a few more. Ten human beings—please note, they don’t have to be living people, you can make corpses or limbs—to evolve into a mutant.” The director sighed, “my country’s intelligence system, and China’s intelligence system, are very difficult Taking into account every corner of the world, mutants can easily hide themselves in some backward third world countries, remote islands, and backward areas, and expand the number. Of course, this expansion must be limited and will not appear. Exponential growth, otherwise we can't not notice. In fact, in some areas, there has been a religion that worships mutants, and I think that is probably the stronghold of mutants."

   "As for how they quietly came to Los Angeles and how they entered Mr. Commander's office, I'm sorry, I don't know." Having summoned the courage to say that he didn't know, the director felt a lot more relaxed.

"If the mutants endanger the national interests of the United States, we can bomb those places to prevent this dangerous religion from spreading to our country or to some sensitive areas." A militant immediately suggested, "Using the giant bombers of the Asuncion base, throw incendiary bombs into their base camp, and let these **** mutants turn into coke in the high temperature of melting steel!"

   "I think, sir, that's not a good idea. If we provoke the mutants, we will pay a heavy price." The general with Venus on his shoulders shook his head and retorted.

   "The U.S. federal military enjoys the highest military and R&D funding in the world, and should not be afraid of any enemy!" The militants stared at the general, dissatisfied with his cowardice.

"Yes, our armies are invincible. But, sir, watch my words, we will pay dearly, and the casualties of a war with mutants will leave you and Congress and the economy of this country Collapse." The general insisted.

"We have the world's No. 1 fleet, and Los Angeles is temporarily deadlocked simply because we are not prepared." The militants chased the general's tail like a mad dog, but the general looked at William and said, "Mr. President, he said That's right, it's just that we're not ready this time. But even if we're ready, our carriers and fleets may not be able to easily defeat the mutants. I mean, even if the mutants give up their powerful penetration and concealment capabilities, We will still pay an unbearable price to fight us on a frontal battlefield just because we are not armed."

   "Oh?" William's facial muscles twitched.

"You see, these mutants have the ability to fly, the speed is not slower than the gunship helicopter, and the ones that can dive into the deep sea, the marching speed is faster than the sea fish. The radar can't detect them, they are just a little bigger in the radar recognition. Just a bird or a sea fish, imagine what would happen if this mutant swarmed or flew towards our warships?" the general asked.

   "Will it be shot down by naval guns and anti-aircraft missiles?" William asked tentatively. He was not as keen on solving problems by force as his predecessor, and was really unfamiliar with these.

"Yes, the fleet's Aegis system will be activated immediately, and the cruisers will launch ship-to-air missiles, and the hit rate is also very impressive. But, but! The ship-to-air missiles are designed to destroy point targets like fighters, a Anti-air missiles can only kill one flying variant, and maybe, with luck, a few more with the small amount of high-velocity shrapnel from the explosion. And you can see the mobility and number of these flying variants, assuming that now To go to war, our anti-air missiles are simply not enough, and the anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles with large area destruction capabilities simply cannot hit these flight variants."

"That is, there are guidance methods such as infrared, radar, and laser guidance. Judging from the number of ship-to-air missiles carried by the entire fleet, um, this number should be 1,500 under normal circumstances, and the maximum overload is 3,000. They can shoot down at least 2,000 fighters, enough to deal with the entire air force of a big country, but are they enough for a mutant that can multiply exponentially?"

"As long as the flight variants pass the ship-to-air missiles and the Phalanx artillery system can't stop them, they will successfully board the ship with other variants, board the fleet aircraft carrier, and then it will be a massacre. The navy equipped with light weapons will fight the mutants hand-to-hand? Oh! Such a war is not an unbearable price for mutants, but for the United States, just one time, it can make us bankrupt!"

"Not to mention, mutants can't be stupid enough to collide with us, they can assassinate, divide, buy people's hearts, and stir up civil unrest. They can cross borders and fly across borders at will, and our radar system can't even distinguish them from birds. They can hide in any corner of the world, waiting for the chance of revenge! They don't need to buy guns, they don't need to organize funds, they just need enough corpses to form a strong army that is difficult to fight!"

After   's words made the others speechless, the general also stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, the modern war will be rewritten from today. There is one more natural enemy for human beings. We should have prepared earlier!"

William finally understood that this venerable general was not a dove, but a rational hawk. He disagreed with the unconsidered impulse. He believed that the United States should squeeze out the use of mutants in the preparation process. value, and then pick up the identity of the world police again, eliminating the natural enemies of mankind.
