In the White House, Irving and the black suit chatted one after another while walking. The purpose of his trip was to see what engineering companies had modified and see if he could get some clues from it.
The two were walking when suddenly there was an explosion outside, and the ground seemed to shake, followed by several more explosions in succession. The black suit ran to the window, and Owen followed suit. The two of them lay down by the window to observe.
Farke, this must be an attack by the White Mask. Owen was almost sure of it as soon as he saw the situation outside.
Outside the window, you can clearly see a group of people on the street over the lawn exchanging fire with the White House guards. There is a mess everywhere. A guy carrying a backpack rushes towards a group of police in a frantic manner, but he is five or six meters away from the police.
He was hit in the distance and fell to the ground, then exploded into a ball of flames with a "boom".
Fake, human bomb!
Both of them seemed to be able to feel the airwaves of the explosion in the White House. They finally knew what had caused the White House to tremble just now. Look at the fire places outside. After adding the previous times, the handiwork of those guys in the white masks was amazing.
It's really big. I don't know how many suicide bombs have been prepared.
"Alert...alert..."
The man in the black suit kept calling into the communicator on his collar, while taking out his weapon and staring nervously outside.
After a moment, he turned to Owen and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you have to come with me right away..."
The man in the black suit had obviously received some order from his superior, his tone did not allow for objection, and his expression was full of vigilance towards Owen.
Irving showed enough cooperation. The White House was attacked. At this time, any outsiders were extremely suspicious and must be controlled. Even if Irving was from the anti-terrorism department, there was nothing wrong with the black suit's approach.
The black suit led Owen through a long corridor. The instructions given to him were to temporarily gather all outsiders in the reception room on the west side. Owen had no weapons and was cooperative enough, which made the black suit less nervous.
Owen was anxious along the way. He was thinking about how to convince Black Suit to let him make a phone call. He had to contact Jack to know whether the president was safe.
The two of them walked along a curved staircase to the hall on the upper floor. Fierce gunshots were heard in the hall. The black suit signaled Owen to stay behind. He nervously pressed against the wall and slowly approached. When he poked his head against the wall, he relaxed.
tone.
In the hall was a team of about ten Marines who were stationed at the White House. They were shooting out of the window. Apparently, they were cooperating with the security on the lawn to clear out the terrorists outside.
As soon as the black suit appeared, he was spotted by the Marines. Several guns were instantly aimed at him, but after seeing his attire, the soldiers redirected their guns toward the window.
"Where are you going?"
One of the leading soldiers came over and asked about the black suit, and the other soldiers continued to fight. Seeing that nothing was wrong, Owen followed him and came up from the stairs.
"I received an order..."
"Da da da~~~"
The man in the black suit was about to speak when suddenly the door on the other side of the hall was kicked open and a group of people rushed in with guns in hand. Gunshots also rang out at the same time.
The brief and continuous gunshots lasted only a few seconds and then stopped. The Marines' attention was all outside. Enemies suddenly appeared behind them. They were knocked down one by one before they could even turn their guns.
Starz led his men into the house and started a random sweep. The Marines were shot and fell to the ground. The man in a black suit who had been accompanying Irving did not escape either. He was hit in the ribs by a bullet and was still injured for a moment.
He was not dead, but fell to the ground struggling in pain.
Irving hid behind the floor-length curtains in the corner. Fortunately, the White House was decorated in a luxurious style. All the curtains were thick and long curtains that almost reached the ground. Irving hid behind the curtains as soon as the shootout happened.
Behind his back, no one noticed him at all.
The screams in the black suit continued, and someone walked over. Because the floor was carpeted, the footsteps were very light, but Owen could feel that someone was walking over, and the other person was walking with a leisurely pace.
.
There were sporadic gunshots all around. It was obvious that those guys were not prepared to leave anyone alive. Those who were not dead were all re-shot. Not far away, the black suit was saying something, which sounded painful. As the footsteps approached,
I heard him say as if he was using all his strength: "No...don't kill me...don't..."
"Da da da~~~"
His begging for mercy had no effect, and the man who came over shot him one last time without hesitation.
Silence returned to the hall. Owen hid behind the curtains and did not dare to breathe. The other party was very close to him. Then there was movement all around. The terrorists began to clean the battlefield and dragged the corpses aside.
After a while, those people finally left, and silence returned to the hall. Owen waited for another ten seconds to confirm that no one was outside, and then appeared silently from behind the curtain. Just now, his heart had been hanging, fearing that those guys would clean up the bodies.
Sometimes I saw his shoes under the curtains. Fortunately, God blessed him.
The previous exchange of fire happened very suddenly and ended very quickly. The whole process was almost one-sided, leaving Owen little time to react. Fortunately, the situation was very chaotic and no one noticed him. The most depressing thing for Owen now is that
He had no weapons in his hand, so he turned back to look at the corpses. Sure enough, the terrorists didn't even leave him a hair, and all the weapons had been taken away.
Owen was now bare-handed. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a decorative candlestick on the wall. The White House was all electric lights, but in order to maintain the style, there were still some decorative candlesticks with sharp tops.
, originally used to hold candles, but now it can be used for self-defense.
Owen tried hard and broke off part of the candlestick. He held it in his hand like a short stick and shook it until it felt like it fit in his hand.
…
On the east side of the White House, on the first floor, the White House, which used to be crowded with people, is now empty. After the riot, no one knew where they went. A group of people came down the stairs quietly. After the leader checked, the team quickly and silently
Heading towards the corridor.
This team was the president's group heading to the underground safe house. Two Marines in uniforms and holding long guns opened the way, followed by security director Martin, followed by President Palmer and Jack Bauer, and then the person in charge.
Two Secret Service agents after the break.
The team walked very fast, quickly passed through the corridor, and finally stopped at the door of the library. Two Marines opened the door and the others entered.
In front of a wall, security director Martin twisted the light switch on the wall 180 degrees counterclockwise, and then the bookshelf on the side filled with books suddenly popped open, revealing a secret door.
The secret door was opened by the agent, and the group continued. Not far from the secret door was an elevator. Everyone entered the elevator, and the elevator began to go down. Although the display showed that there was only one floor, the elevator ran downward for a long time.
But this is understandable. After all, this PEOC is said to be resistant to nuclear explosions, so it naturally has to be deep underground, not as deep as the basement of an ordinary building.
The period of time when the elevator went down seemed like a century had passed. Finally, there was a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped, and then the automatic door opened, and they finally arrived.
Ahead, the team was still advancing in the same formation as before. At the end of the passage was a large iron door, which looked very solid at first glance. There was an electronic switch next to the door.
