Ten thirty-nine in the morning.
High in the sky over the St. Lake Valley area, a blooming dandelion floats in the air.
At this time, a group of people sent by the joint rescue team arrived at the gate of McLennan Company. The team was led by a tall and powerful man with a square face who belonged to the CIA. His tough features were like a knife and an axe.
But Powell, who had been with Omar before, came out of the gate at this time and happened to pass by a group of agents.
At TU headquarters, Driscoe and Chloe were responsible for following up on the rescue operations in the St. Lake Valley and providing off-site assistance, while Curtis and Egg were responsible for following up on the agents who came to McLennan Company and providing off-site information assistance.
Egger asked doubtfully: "McLennan is so powerful?"
Curtis shrugged: "Iger, you are so cute. You don't have a clear understanding of these defense contractors when you work here."
"I've only been working here for a month."
"Well, McLennan-First is part of the military-industrial complex interests, is that clear?"
Egger was stunned for a moment, and Curtis continued to tell him: "This company is not only a defense contractor, but also an arms business, selling various weapons and equipment to customers, ranging from small pistols to heavy vehicles, and A range of client training programs have also been developed with a diverse range of clients located around the world.”
"Training?"
"It's about teaching customers how to use the weapons they produce."
Iger was startled again, "Well, you just said that their customers are all kinds, including terrorists?"
Curtis also sighed helplessly: "What do you think?
Although their customers are not terrorists, many of them are weapons and equipment suppliers to terrorists.
McLennan Company can completely blame all actions on the voluntary actions of their customers. At least half of their customers are arms dealers from all over the world!
Okay, cheer up, let’s start the negotiations on the spot. "
At this time, Curtis and Egg were also looking at the screen with concentration, and did not notice Marianne looking at them anxiously.
Marian couldn't bear it any longer. She glanced around and found that everyone was very busy, so she quietly walked to a large router hanging on the wall of an unmanned side corridor and inserted a special mobile phone card. A transcoded dial call was then made and a phone call was placed.
"Powell! They sent people to negotiate with McLennan Company. This time, a series of intelligence agencies including the Special Service Group, CTU, CIA, FBI, and National Bureau came to visit!"
At this time, Powell, who had just passed by the tall and powerful man, also panicked, but quickly calmed down: "You continue to work there. Just tell me if you have any news."
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Powell cursed and then made another phone call: "Malvern, they have noticed the missing box. Now almost all US intelligence agencies have come together to visit. The signature of the Secretary of Defense can be You can’t fool these people!”
"Okay, I understand, just do your own thing."
"But, the money you promised me?"
“Do you want cash or transfer?”
"transfer."
"Half of the money will be transferred to your account in three minutes, and the remaining half will be sent to you after today's operation is over."
"OK."
Powell glanced back and realized that these were the agents from the intelligence department, and left faster without saying a word.
The square-faced man here is negotiating with a man in a suit and leather shoes.
"Hello, I'm David Colin, director of security at McLennan-First. Who is this?"
Looking at the macho man in front of him, Colin felt a drum in his heart. No matter how he looked at this group of people, they all came with bad intentions. . .
"Hello, my name is Harry Taskell, and these guys behind me are from TU, SWAT, FBI, NSA..."
Listening to this long list of titles, Colin's first reaction was nothing else but: Something happened to the company? !
Or did the boss make some big news and the mistress came to visit him? !
The fact that so many departments were working together made him feel very panicked. Originally, some things in the company were not visible to the public, and he was afraid that they would be blamed for something the company had done or a certain customer had made a big mistake.
And here Governor Harry Tuskell's words continue.
"... More than three hours ago, an engineer named Brody from your company died in a train bombing, and a metal box was lost. I remember that when CTU wanted to know the relevant information about the box, he was told by your company that Rejected on grounds of confidentiality.
You will only cooperate with the investigation if you show the signature of Defense Secretary James Heller. But you also know that Secretary Heller does not seem to be able to sign for us now, and this box is also related to the kidnapping of him and his daughter. important clues.
So, Mr. Colin, look. . . "
Colin's heart suddenly dropped into his stomach, and he was so scared that he wasn't scared to death.
Then he immediately scolded ctu in his heart.
Damn CTU, he didn’t explain clearly when he came last time, he just said that Brody was dead, and he didn’t know who Brody was, so he thought he had nothing to do with the company and just sent him away. It would have been a long time ago. They said Brody had a box that was robbed, and it was related to Heller's kidnapping. They must have cooperated directly!
After all, it was very pleasant to cooperate with the Ministry of Defense on McLennan's business, but if Heller were to take action afterwards, and the Ministry of Defense and the military discovered that an important clue had been ignored in order to protect commercial secrets, haha.
"Mr. Harry, please follow me. I will take you to see our chairman, Mr. Guinness McLennan."
The group of people went directly upstairs to the floor of the chairman's office. When passing by a public office in front of the office, one of the middle-eastern men was sitting at his workstation, looked at a group of people, and took out a bag with a normal expression. A message was sent from a mobile phone.
In a building about a few kilometers away from here, a round-faced man who was busy at his work station took out his mobile phone. After seeing the message, he sighed and sent a message.
Below, McLennan's missing remote control is taped to the underside of the table.
"Omar, the missing device has been made known."
. . .
In the factory in the St. Lake Valley, Omar was nervously typing on the keyboard with several programmers of Middle Eastern descent. Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and he quickly took it out to take a look.
After seeing the message, my heart sank, but I immediately sent a message back as quickly as possible.
"I will do my best to assist you in cracking the internal system of the nuclear power plant as soon as possible.
It's been an honor working with you, Malvern. "
"No, it should be my pleasure, Omar."
“Allahhu Akbar.”
"Allahhu Akbar"
After Orma put away the phone, he clapped his hands and attracted the attention of several descendant programmers.
"They've discovered what the missing package is and we're going to speed up the process."
"Alma, what do you mean?"
"Heller's live broadcast can be simplified. Now everyone no longer needs to hide it. We can directly assist Malvern in cracking the system. We must hide Malvern's IP address.
But after this, our IP address will be completely exposed, and our location will also be completely exposed. In other words, we will never be able to successfully retreat. "
After listening to Orma's flat statement, several programmers just responded with flat expressions.
“Allahhu Akbar!”
Na'vi, who was at his workstation in the basement of his home, also prayed: "Allahhu Akbar."
In a hidden location in the suburbs of Aihehua State, in a factory that had been transformed into a missile assembly workshop, a group of programmers also learned of Omar's decision.
“Allahhu Akbar.”
. . .
In McLennan Company, Harry, who did not know all this, entered the chairman's office under the leadership of Colin, while others were waiting outside.
Two men in the office were talking about something. When they saw Colin coming in with Harry, they hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Hello Mr. Harry, my name is Guinness McLennan, and this is my technical director John Rice."
Harry's direct and short talk about the future showed that everyone was now eager to know what was in the box.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Guinness yelled angrily at Colin: "David, why didn't you report to me immediately after CTU told you about Brody's death?!"
"Sir, you were in a meeting with all the senior executives..."
Harry also felt that something was wrong at this time, and quickly asked: "What is in the box?!"
McLennan said helplessly: "The latest product developed by our company in cooperation with Duke Energy - a nuclear power remote control device..."
Harry's whole body froze after hearing this.
"oh my god!"
. . .
At CTU headquarters, Chloe discovered something was wrong on the data network at this time, and quickly reported it to Driscoll, but as he spoke, his expression became unbelievable, "The data flow in the St. Lake Valley suddenly increased. The number is still increasing, and..."
"And what?"
Chloe blankly finished the second half of her unfinished sentence: "All data transmission destinations point to one place - the six nuclear power plants in North Carolina and South Carolina!"
At this time, Curtis and Egg, who received the intelligence from Harry, also screamed immediately.
"Remote control device, the thing in the box is a nuclear power remote control device!"
When Chloe heard the name, she shivered like an electric shock and came to her senses. She immediately started taking action without asking her boss for instructions. She tapped the keyboard like lightning to connect to the communication of the chief engineer of a nuclear power plant in South Carolina. .
"This is TU headquarters, your internal system may be being invaded!"
But the chief engineer of the nuclear power plant on the big screen had a desperate expression.
"It's too late, a data flow hidden in the massive traffic caused by Yaowen Trojan suddenly erupted two minutes ago.
In just two minutes, we seized 30% of the control of the internal system. We don’t know why the other party stopped hiding it. Because of this, we discovered that the internal system had been invaded by hackers without us knowing anything about it. Got it!
They have obtained 85%, oh no, 87% of the control authority. We cannot hold on to the remaining 13% for one minute. In one minute, they will completely control the entire interior. system. . . "
Banning, who had just landed on the ground to join Jack and was about to start secretly infiltrating, also cursed after hearing the news.
"Holy shit!"
