It was late at night, but in a seemingly inconspicuous hospital in Florida, the lights were brightly lit and people were coming and going. The whole hospital seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud. Both doctors and nurses were all in a hurry and looked anxious.
In the dark corners around the hospital, people were moving around, seemingly irregularly, but in fact, the entire hospital was surrounded by water, and not even a bird could fly in.
In front of a ward on the third floor, several people were smoking cigarettes with furrowed brows, silent and with unusually solemn expressions. Their eyes met inadvertently, but they sighed in unison and shook their heads, as if they had encountered an extremely difficult situation.
matter.
"Boom boom——"
A burst of harsh engine roar tore through the tranquility of the night, from far to near, and then a black car rushed to the door of the hospital like an arrow. The moment it almost stopped, the door was pushed open violently, and a figure
The burly, stern-faced middle-aged man jumped out of the car without even turning off the car, and rushed upstairs in three steps at a time. He was so menacing that the doctors and nurses along the way were so frightened that they quickly dodged, almost in the blink of an eye.
Just arrived on the third floor.
"Colonel, we..." When several people saw the gloomy-faced middle-aged man, they were extremely confused. They hurriedly put out the cigarettes in their hands and came forward.
The colonel grabbed one of them by the collar and shouted angrily: "What did you do? Didn't I ask you to take good care of her? How could something like this happen again?"
He is about forty years old, with a short, stiff beard on his lips, and a strong face, which makes him look very tough. The scar from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of his face adds a bit of ferocious iron-blooded aura to him.
.Under the rage, it is like an ancient beast that wants to choose people to devour.
The man he grabbed was also frightened, his body trembled obviously, and he stammered in defense: "Colonel, this is none of our business. You also know that this crazy woman just wants to die.
She didn't eat or drink all day long without making a sound. In order to keep her alive, we tried every means possible and didn't dare to slack off at all. But the doctor said that she was exhausted this time.
It really has nothing to do with us.”
"Yes, yes. If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor. It's really none of our business..." Others quickly echoed in unison. The matter is so important that none of them can afford this responsibility. But even so, they
His face was still pale, as if he had caused a huge disaster, and he was terrified.
At this time, the door of the ward was opened, and several doctors wearing white coats and masks came out. The colonel angrily pushed the subordinate away, quickly stepped forward and asked eagerly: "Dr. Bright
,How is it going?"
One of the doctors took off his mask, shook his head solemnly, and said, "The patient's condition is very bad. I'm afraid he won't survive for a few days."
If there are medical people here, they will definitely be surprised. Because this Bright is a world-famous doctor, and he is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Heads of state in many countries have asked him to see a doctor, and the world's top richest people have also visited him.
Being proud to have him as a doctor can be said to be a banner in the medical community. But for him to appear in such a little-known small hospital at this time, if word spread, it will definitely shock people and make people think.
When the colonel heard this, his expression changed drastically. He grabbed Dr. Bright's hand and said in panic: "Doctor Bright, this person must not die. If she dies, there will be no peace in this world..."
Dr. Bright smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Colonel, we have tried our best. You should know that doctors are not omnipotent. People are like machines. They will break down sooner or later after being used for a long time, and this patient is already extremely bad.
There is no way to repair her machine, and no one can cure her except God."
"It's over, it's over..." The middle-aged man's face was ashen, and his whole body seemed to have had his spine removed. He stumbled and sat on the row of seats next to him, sweating, looking terrified all day long.
, as if the end is coming.
…
A heavily guarded office in the Pentagon was filled with smoke. Hidden through the wisps of smoke rising up were a pair of bloodshot eyes, showing anxiety and irritability.
There are only a few people here, but if you look around, they are all figures who stand at the pinnacle of power or wealth. Any one of them stomping their feet can cause the United States and even the world to tremble. But at this time, their expressions are suddenly
But he looked quite solemn, even a bit restless.
After a long silence, a middle-aged man sitting in the front seat finally spoke: "I just received the news that the mother of No. 1 died a few minutes ago after resuscitation failed. This means that we have lost our biggest reliance on holding him hostage. The situation is serious.
I don’t think I need to say more about sex. Does anyone have any good countermeasures for this?”
He has a cold face, a stern and solemn face, and even if he is just sitting there, he gives off an aura of calmness and authority. People who care about international current affairs will definitely find him very familiar, and they can often see him on TV.
figure, because he is the current president of the United States, Adams.
Adams can be called one of the most powerful and iron-fisted presidents in modern American history. He had sharp words, tough policies, and pursued a big stick policy. During his term, he launched two wars, displaced tens of millions of people, and left tens of millions of people homeless.
His popularity has risen to the sky, and he is far ahead in domestic approval ratings. He was praised as "the most charismatic national leader" by Time Magazine. But at this time, his eyes were red, his beard was not shaved, and he looked extremely
The gloomy and bright image of Heping is completely different.
Opposite Adams is an old man with a pipe in his mouth. He is in his sixties, has gray hair, and has the air of a scholar, giving people the impression of being polite. In fact, he is energetic, cunning, and very scheming. He is the notorious CIA
Director Jervis. It was in his hands that the CIA's power spread all over the world and became a sharp claw of the United States' foreign expansion. Therefore, he has always been regarded by Adams as his right-hand man.
From beginning to end, Jervis remained silent and just kept smoking. At this moment, he took a puff of his pipe, frowned and turned around and asked: "There won't be anything wrong at Devil's Island, right?
"
The Devil's Island he mentioned is a secret island in the Western Pacific. It belongs to the U.S. Department of Defense. It is a product of the Cold War and is the top secret of the U.S. to date. The U.S. has made many scientific research achievements and breakthroughs in recent decades.
Most of them were completed on this small island, and its importance is naturally self-evident.
At the same time, Devil's Island is also the most mysterious and strict prison in the world, housing dozens of prisoners with extremely special identities. In view of the above two reasons, Devil's Island is extremely well protected. Not only are there several satellites in the sky monitoring the island around the clock,
As well as disturbances within hundreds of kilometers around it, there are even several nuclear submarines in the surrounding waters conducting 24-hour cruises. In addition, hundreds of war-baptized warriors are deployed on the island, equipped with ground-to-air weapons,
, various advanced weapons including surface-to-ship missiles, its military power is more powerful than the White House and the Pentagon. Even if it is attacked, it will be difficult to fall in a short time. Once fired, the powerful US aircraft carrier will be destroyed within an hour.
The fleet will rush to the scene, followed by a steady stream of reinforcements.
"Probably not!" Sitting on the right side of Adams is Secretary of Defense Craig, who is also a militant. He has been behind a series of large and small wars launched by the United States in recent years. Everyone here
He is the one with the most relaxed expression here.
"We started preparing for today a few years ago. In order to prevent No. 1 from escaping, we specially customized this cell for him based on his characteristics. Please take a look."
Having said this, he stood up and walked to the wall on one side, and a three-dimensional structure diagram of a building appeared on the projection screen here. Craig pointed to the picture above and said forcefully: "The entire cell is divided into
There are two layers, the inner and outer layers. The outer layer is made of a super alloy that is tougher than the materials we currently use on spacecrafts. The thickness is an exaggerated five meters. If there is no correct opening method, even if a nuclear bomb is
It is difficult to damage it even if it is detonated from the outside. The inner layer is made of high-energy glass fiber and is a transparent curtain wall that cannot even be broken by rockets. The reason why it is made transparent is to be able to monitor No. 1’s every move anytime and anywhere.
.Under the surveillance of hundreds of cameras with all-round coverage and no blind spots, any abnormal movement he makes cannot escape our eyes."
"Not only that, once the outer door is closed, the air inside will be evacuated immediately, and it will become a vacuum within ten seconds. The inner layer has an oxygen supply that is only for one person. In this way, even if No. 1 has the ability to destroy the inner
He wouldn't dare, because doing so would be tantamount to committing suicide. Once the air inside leaks, he won't be able to survive at all, let alone escape."
"Just in case, we have also deployed hundreds of laser weapons between the inner and outer layers. If someone invades, or No. 1 destroys the inner layer and escapes, these laser weapons will be automatically activated and fired. At the same time, they will also
Send an alarm as soon as possible. I dare say this, with such strict measures, No. 1 will not be able to fly even if it has wings." After the introduction, the corners of Craig's mouth could not help but twitch up slightly, looking very proud.
When everyone is helpless, he still has to rely on him to support the overall situation and turn the tide. He will inevitably become complacent.
After listening to Craig's introduction, everyone's heavy hearts relaxed a little. No matter how terrifying and powerful Number 1 is, it is just a body of flesh and blood. As Craig said, with such a strict arrangement, even Superman may be trapped in it.
There is no way to escape from it. And as long as he can't escape, the situation is not too bad to be dealt with.
"It's a pity. Although No. 1 can't escape, I'm afraid it's impossible to get him to work for us again." Someone sighed sadly. This was a woman in her fifties who looked very ordinary.
But in fact, compared to her, the so-called richest man in the world is just a scumbag. The real rich are always out of sight of the world!
Everyone also nodded, with regret on their faces. It's like a treasure house that was originally open to you, but is now isolated by a bottomless ravine, so that you can see it but not get it.
This kind of chest-beating depression and loss is difficult for others to understand.
"What should I do with No. 1? Should I keep it, or..." someone asked cautiously.
Everyone couldn't help but pricked up their ears when they heard this, and their eyes focused on Adams.
Over the years, they have gained a lot of benefits from No. 1. Naturally, they would be very sad to destroy No. 1 like this. But if they don't do this, No. 1 will be an extremely dangerous person, even if he is killed.
While he was imprisoned on Devil's Island, people who had come into contact with him died inexplicably from time to time. Once he had a chance to escape, each of them would be in extreme danger.
I couldn't sleep, and I was in constant fear all day long.
Adams seemed to be quite confused about this. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Since the security on Devil's Island is so tight, we might as well wait and see. Maybe No. 1 does not know the news of his mother's death, at least not
We will learn about it so soon. We may also use this period of time to let him continue to work for us, and we will make long-term plans when the paper can no longer contain the anger! What do you think?"
"I think it works." Craig was the first to agree, and said carelessly: "Actually, there is no need to worry in vain. It is absolutely impossible for No. 1 to escape from Devil's Island."
Jervis didn't seem to be as optimistic as he was, and said with a solemn expression: "I think it's best not to have too much hope. The news of Mother No. 1's death can't be hidden from him at all, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them.
No. 1 is isolated from the world again. I dare say that as soon as No. 1’s mother died, he already felt it. We must not use ordinary people’s standards to measure him, otherwise we will only suffer the loss.”
The room fell silent all of a sudden, everyone stopped talking, and their faces were not very pretty. They knew the extraordinary nature of No. 1, otherwise they would not have gone to great lengths to capture No. 1 and imprison him.
Devil's Island was used for his own purposes.
After a moment of silence, Adams looked at Clyde and asked: "You mean, there is no need for No. 1 to continue to exist?"
"Yes." Jervis said extremely firmly: "Not only does No. 1 have no usable value, but it may have become a lingering nightmare in each of our lives. So why do we still keep him?
?”
Adams nodded slightly, then looked around at everyone and asked, "What do you all mean?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment and nodded, even Craig, who was very confident in the defense of Devil's Island. Although he did not believe that No. 1 could escape, since No. 1 had no use value, there was no
It is necessary to continue to spend too much energy on him. You must know that just for him, almost half of the entire Devil's Island defense force is taken up.
"Now that everyone has reached a consensus, let's leave this matter to Craig. You must handle it cleanly and don't make any mistakes." Adams was indeed a decisive person, and soon he was
A decision was made.
"Don't worry, No. 1 is always under our control. Taking his life is easy. If nothing else, as long as the oxygen supply is cut off to him, he will not survive for ten minutes..." Craig said with a smile.
, seemed not to take this matter to heart at all.
But before the smile on his face faded away, the red phone on the table rang suddenly, attracting everyone's attention. You must know that this phone is the highest-level confidential phone of the Ministry of Defense.
If something extremely urgent and important had not happened, no one would have called here.
After Craig was stunned for a moment, he wordlessly picked up the phone and put it to his ear. His face turned pale in an instant, with an inexplicable expression of fear on his face, and his mouth opened wide, like a dying fish, mouthing big
He was panting but speechless.
"Craig, what happened?" Adams' heart sank, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. He stood up suddenly and asked in horror.
But Craig seemed not to have heard anything. He stood there in a daze in despair, muttering over and over again: "How is this possible? How is this possible..."
"Pah!" With a loud slap, Adams grabbed Craig by the collar and yelled with a ferocious expression: "Wake up the fuck, what happened?"
After being slapped by Adams, Craig exclaimed as if he had woken up from a dream: "He, he ran away, ran away..."
"Who the hell escaped, No. 1? How did he escape? Isn't your defense perfect and impeccable? How could he escape?" Adams almost roared, spitting on Craig's face.
"What, did No. 1 escape? Oh my god, aren't we all in danger?" The others couldn't help but exclaimed, their faces turned pale and trembling with fear.
"I, I don't know either..." Craig's face flushed, with endless fear and shame in his expression, and he stammered: "The prison's equipment and facilities are all in good condition, and nothing has been damaged.
There were no traces of No. 1 escaping from all the surveillance cameras. It was as if he suddenly disappeared from the world..."
"Damn it, is this what you call a flightless thing? With such a huge military budget every year, why the hell are you going to drop this chain at a critical moment?" In anger, Adams couldn't help but use swear words, which was completely different from usual.
Graceful and graceful. No. 1's escape from Devil's Island is tantamount to releasing a demon from hell. Who knows what kind of bloody storm it will cause. And they here will definitely bear the brunt, and none of them will be able to escape. Even if all the armies of the world are sent
Even though everyone was mobilized to protect them, they couldn't give them the slightest sense of security.
"Then what should we do now?" Those dignitaries who usually have overwhelming power and majesty are now as helpless as frightened children, with panicked expressions on their faces and completely confused.
Adams walked back and forth in the room twice, then said with a ferocious face and gritted teeth: "Seal the Devil's Island with all your strength. No one can leave without my order. Then mobilize heavy troops to conduct a blanket search of the entire island. Once the target is found, shoot and kill.
Even if everyone on the island is dead, No. 1 will never be allowed to leave Devil's Island alive. If necessary, nuclear bombs can be used to carry out a devastating blow to the entire island!"
"Ah? How can this be done? There are important scientific research institutions on the island..." someone quickly said. The scientific research institutions on the island are crucial to the United States. Once destroyed, the United States will be unable to survive for at least the next ten years.
Rejuvenate.
"Scientific research institutions can be re-established after being destroyed, but if a few of us die, everything will be over." Adams glared at the man fiercely and said, "Do you want to die yourself, or preserve the scientific research institution?"
The man muttered a few times and stopped talking. For them, the most important thing is to protect themselves. National interests and national justice are nothing compared with their own safety.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Adams sternly ordered: "The whole country has entered the first level of combat readiness and is ready to deal with any changes at any time. At the same time, Jervis, your CIA is spreading across the board and mobilizing all resources to hunt down No. 1.
As the saying goes, once the target is discovered, shoot and kill without mercy!"
It may seem like a fuss, but you must know that the United States has only carried out Level 1 combat readiness once since the founding of the country, which was on the eve of the Dongyi attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II. Once entering Level 1 combat readiness, all troops are on standby 24 hours a day, missiles are aimed at the target, and tanks are on standby.
The engine was turned off, and the plane loaded the bombs onto the runway and was ready to take off at any time... The war was about to start. But no one here raised any objections, nor did they think it was exaggerated in the slightest. For them, as long as they can get rid of No. 1, a serious problem,
Nothing can be done too much.
Orders were quickly transmitted through radio waves. Military police were dispatched on a large scale, and aircraft carrier formations were mobilized frequently. A series of changes immediately attracted global attention and made many countries very nervous. This military
As a country that ranks first in power in the world, every move it makes has a huge impact on the global pattern. Countries around the world are speculating about what the United States is going to do. Is it the third world war?
But no matter how much the United States devoted all its efforts to hunt him down, No. 1 seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no trace of him at all.
A week later, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, collapsed one after another due to the impact of two commercial aircraft. Through live broadcast on television, hundreds of millions of viewers around the world witnessed this shocking tragedy. The United States suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, and the economy was once
paralyzed.
In the following three years, a series of strange deaths occurred around the world. The deceased all died of sudden illnesses or various accidents. Apart from their unusual identities, there did not seem to be much connection with each other. Until
One day, the appearance of a note made people realize that there seemed to be something hidden.
The note was left by Adams. He sadly left the White House after losing the election and was found to have committed suicide at home shortly after. There was a note left on the table with the names of each deceased person, and at the end
Said: "It's finally my turn. I seem to have seen the God of Death grinning at me. This is my fate. From the moment the devil escaped, our fate has been doomed. I hope the killing can end here...
