Everyone is anxiously waiting for the news to come, but time seems to be slowing down extremely slowly.

Countless people are praying that the president can survive this dangerous moment, but some people are beginning to prepare for the worst.

In such a tense atmosphere, every second seems extremely long, as if time has stopped.

Turn on the TV, and all the media are fully reporting on the terrorist attack that occurred today. This is a historic event. People have never witnessed the entire process of the attack on the president in such a complete way.

This attack will become an important record in history. People will remember and talk about this incident for a long time in order to learn lessons from it and strengthen the country's security and stability.

Various scenes were played on the TV, including helicopters flying, police cars speeding, and police patrols appearing on the streets everywhere.

The impact of this incident was so bad that it was equivalent to live broadcasting the entire assassination of the President of the United States to the world.

Washington, D.C., was fine, but some cities fell into chaos. Some extreme Walker supporters rioted, and black brothers followed closely behind. Smashing, looting, and zero-dollar shopping continued in various stores and supermarkets.

, sirens, ambulances, and police shouts come and go.

Inside the Pentagon, Vice President Underwood and the Secretary of Defense and other senior executives gathered in the office, and what was displayed on the screen was the U.S. military deployment around the world.

During President Walker's rescue operation, Underwood, as Vice President, performed presidential power on his behalf.

"What's the reaction from the outside world?" Underwood asked.

"We have raised the alert level, and all troops have canceled their vacations and are on standby 24 hours a day. At present, Russia and China have not responded. For the time being, it will not affect our Middle East war situation..."

The Minister of Defense explained what he had learned. It is not yet known who planned all this, but what they fear most is that their enemies take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Therefore, it is necessary to raise the alert level. This is also a statement to tell the world that although the United States is weak now, not everyone can come up and take a bite.

The biggest opponents of the United States in the world also know that the United States is like a powder keg, and no one wants to cause misunderstandings at this time.

"What's going on with the FBI?"

Underwood turned his attention to the FBI again. Since there were no external problems for the time being, he had to start dealing with internal conflicts.

The most acute internal conflict now is to find the murderer of President Walker.

Director Floyd, a bald man with few hairs on his head, said after hearing this: "Our emergency response team has been involved in the investigation and is integrating information to investigate the location of the attack. I believe there will be results soon.

The only thing that can be determined at present is that this was a well-planned assassination. In addition to sniping, the other party also arranged a second plan. First, they used explosions to force Army No. 1 into their ambush route, and then blew up the presidential tank and poured water on it.

Concrete, one ring after another. Compared with the previous David Palmer, this assassination of President Walker is more clever..."

Floyd's forehead was sweating. He was the most stressed person in the entire conference room.

Before the president was assassinated, all the pressure was on the Secret Service under the Department of Homeland Security. After the assassination, all the pressure was transferred to him.

As a federal-level law enforcement agency, the FBI has a duty to do so when a president is assassinated.

He must catch the murderer in the shortest possible time, or at least know who the murderer is.

Everyone agreed with what Freud said. Most of the people here were witnesses of the incident. Even if they were not, they knew the beginning and end of the incident in detail.

This assassination of President Walker is indeed completely different from the previous assassinations. At least, the direct murderer was not caught at the scene.

After asking about the FBI's progress, Underwood asked about the police's situation.

Now there are already some unscrupulous uncles outside who are taking advantage of the chaos to start buying for zero dollars. The police must deal with this situation as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading.

As he was talking, the landline phone in the conference room suddenly rang. The Minister of Defense picked up the call, listened for a few seconds, and then put the phone back.

The conversation paused and everyone looked at the Minister of Defense. This phone will only ring in emergencies.

Sure enough

The Secretary of Defense looked around, suddenly stood up, and said solemnly to Underwood: "Mr. Vice President, I just received news from the hospital that President Garrett Walker has passed away."

After hearing his words, the scene fell into silence. Even though everyone was mentally prepared, hearing the news of President Walker's death was still unacceptable.

The Secretary of Defense did not give everyone time to grieve. He said sternly: "Mr. Vice President, we need you to be sworn in as the President of the United States immediately. According to the Succession Act, when an accident occurs to the President, the Vice President takes over as President."

"Wha...what?"

Underwood acted very surprised, as if he had not yet woken up from the news of President Walker's death.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people walked in quickly.

What came in was a team composed of members from the Secret Service, the military and other agencies. The leader was carrying the legendary "nuclear bomb briefcase".
