To say that strategic bombers can drop nuclear bombs thousands of kilometers away seems to make the mind flayer mastermind's psychic power useless at all. ¡°But it is impossible for the Hexagon to use nuclear bombs on the mainland. Therefore, in order to increase the hit rate, strategic bombers loaded with bombs can only carry out bombings at an altitude of less than 5,000 meters. From the intelligence obtained by Hexagon Building, it can be seen that the distance at which those monsters control humans is usually two hundred to four hundred meters, so it is absolutely safe to control the bombing height of strategic bombers above two thousand meters. Within a range of two to three thousand meters, strategic bombers of this era can already deliver bombs very accurately. But Hexagonal Tower doesn¡¯t know that the so-called two hundred meters is the control distance of adult mind flayers, while the elite mind flayers below four hundred meters have not yet been born. As for the elder mind flayers, they have not yet been born. But the mind flayer mastermind is different. Due to errors in intelligence, an abnormal situation occurred when the five strategic bombers approached the town. After the strategic bombers lowered their flight altitude and reported that they were about to start bombing, the strategic bombers actually began to turn and then returned towards the way they came. Well, one thing that needs to be explained is that the mind flayer master brain¡¯s psychic power projection range is eight kilometers, but in fact, as long as humans are controlled, the mind flayer master brain can give humans a spiritual hint, and then, even if they are separated No matter how far away, the human will act according to the instructions given by the mind flayer mastermind. Of course, as for the effect of the action, it depends on the original intelligence of the human being. No matter what, not long after the strategic bombers returned from their original route, the Hexagon exploded. The Hexagon cannot contact these five strategic bombers in the communication channel, which means that they are controlled. Five strategic bombers loaded with bombs were hijacked. What does it mean? There are many large and medium-sized cities on its return route. In the worst case scenario, the bombs carried by these five strategic bombers are enough to blow a large city into rubble, or to paralyze three large cities. If so. That's a big joke. If one¡¯s own strategic bombers blow one¡¯s own city into rubble, I¡¯m afraid even the collective resignation of senior officials in the Hexagon will not be able to quell the public¡¯s anger. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it will take a few scapegoats to be sent to military courts to quell the situation. After all, those people will not believe such nonsense as pilots being controlled by others. The staff of the Hexagon Building quickly formulated an emergency plan. The first option is to wake up the controlled pilot, but this is the most difficult to achieve. The second plan is to directly shoot down the strategic bomber, followed by several action plans for shooting down, etc. In short, what is placed in front of the senior officials of the Hexagon Building is option two. At this point, the problem came again. " Shooting down a strategic bomber is extremely easy to write on paper, and shooting it down is not a problem in practice. The only problem is that the U.S. military only has a limited number of strategic bombers, fifty-two. Every strategic bomber is an important weapon of the country. The loss of one plane was enough to make the parliament agitated. Now you want to kill five of them in one go? Kill a strategic bomber costing more than one billion? The loss of strategic strength caused here is not as simple as the cost of strategic bombers. ??Fundamentally speaking. In other words, the US military's strategic air force was instantly reduced by one-tenth. Don¡¯t underestimate this one-tenth. At a critical moment, even one percent may determine the outcome of a national war. But all fools know that at this time, let alone one-tenth of the strategic air force, even if it is one-fifth, one-half or even all of it, what should be given up must be given up. "Pass the order, the 6th Air Defense Missile Battalion. The 24th Air Defense Missile Battalion and the 17th Air Defense Missile Battalion immediately launch anti-aircraft missiles and destroy all flying objects heading northeast along the 1872 Highway!" This kind of inexplicable interference and control, this order is a cruel move. You need to know this time. Flying along this route are not only the five strategic bombers, but also the training aircraft of the two aviation clubs along the route that may take off at any time. In fact, from the very beginning, the five strategic bombers have been monitored by air defense radars along the way. certainly. On the screens of these air defense radars, these strategic bombers are marked with green marks as friendly forces. After receiving the order, the friendly lock system was accidentally released. strategic bombingThe ?? mark immediately turned into a shocking red. "Whoosh whoosh!" Streams of white smoke rose from several valleys, and anti-aircraft missiles immediately took off and flew quickly towards the red dots displayed on the radar. ¡°The pilots on the strategic bomber also immediately discovered the anti-aircraft missiles locked on them. These pilots are not under the real-time control of the mind flayer mastermind, and the psychic marks previously placed in their hearts by the mastermind are still taking effect. The main function of this psychic mark is to allow the pilot to act according to the orders issued by the master brain. The order given by the mind flayer mastermind is to find the most valuable attack target as much as possible and drop the plane together with the bomb. Therefore, after these pilots found that they could no longer fly the aircraft, they immediately made a decisive decision. The five strategic bombers immediately dispersed, each selected a target and plunged into it. These five targets are two anti-aircraft missile battalions stationed in the valley and three nearby towns. The strategic bombers that rushed towards the two anti-aircraft missile battalions were exploded by the anti-aircraft missiles, forming two huge fireballs. You must know that these strategic bombers are filled with hundreds of tons of aviation gasoline alone, plus more than 200 tons of fully loaded bombs. After being exploded, the chain explosion formed is by no means comparable to that of ordinary bombers. Just after the strategic bomber exploded into a huge ball of fire, a fierce shock wave spread out in all directions. Even though the explosion was located thousands of meters above the ground, the resulting shock wave suppressed all the plants on the ground, and the fire that continued to fall directly turned the ground below into a dense fire field. And the three strategic bombers that rushed towards the town were all blown up in the air. But a strategic bomber was too close to the town. After it exploded, the shock wave that spread and the fire that fell turned this small town with a population of more than 800 into a hell on earth. Of course, the damage caused by five strategic bombers falling into a big city is much smaller. After receiving the news, the senior executives of the Hexagon Building breathed a sigh of relief. His face also looked a bit unsightly. A town with a population of 800 has been affected. If this news spreads, I am afraid there will be a lot of pressure from public opinion. Of course, there are scapegoats, but for now, this does not involve the senior executives. The only trouble now is that unknown monster. Three demon infantry regiments were dispatched, and all were controlled. Five strategic bombers were dispatched, but the bombs were almost dropped on the big city. So what's next. There are not many options available to Hexagon. Is it a nuclear bomb? Or a nuclear bomb? Or use a nuclear bomb? ????????????????????????????????????????? Well, it¡¯s true, any weapon that requires a person to control it at close range is of no use against this kind of monster. There are quite a few options for space weapons. Space-based high-power laser generator, space-based superconducting electromagnetic mass cannon, space-based particle cannon. These three space-based space weapons are good for killing single targets. But it¡¯s not very useful for dealing with monsters that may be hiding somewhere underground in the town. Needless to say, laser weapons are greatly affected by the environment. ¡°The superconducting electromagnetic mass cannon can create a hemispherical pit with a diameter of more than thirty meters the moment it hits the ground. All creatures within the range will be killed, but if you want to deal with those monsters, you may need to fire fifty mass bombs at the same time to kill them all in one fell swoop. You must know that there are only three space-based superconducting electromagnetic mass cannons equipped on armed satellites! ??Each launch requires the solar panels on the satellite to be charged for more than a week. As for the particle cannon. The penetration is much stronger than that of laser weapons, but the attack range is pitifully weak. In short, after thinking about it for a long time, I came to two conclusions. Or just use thousands of ordinary Tomahawk missiles to carry out a saturation attack on the town. Or it's a nuclear bomb. Only in this way can it be possible to kill the opponent. Of course, whether it is using ordinary Tomahawk missiles or nuclear bombs to clear the ground. Neither is good for the Hexagon's reputation. It¡¯s just that using ordinary Tomahawk missiles is much better than using nuclear bombs to clear the ground. "Let's use Tomahawk missiles first." After a group discussion, the senior officials of the Hexagonal Building made a plan. After all, there is another advantage to doing this, that is, it will soon retire theUse a series of Tomahawk missiles in service to avoid wasting money on disassembly and processing in the future, which is both dangerous and wasteful. After nearly eighty years of peace and prosperity, the number of Tomahawk series cruise missiles retained by the Hexagon has dropped to 1,171. As for the equipment quota of other cruise missiles, Thunder Hammer missiles have dominated the world. Of course, even using the Tomahawk missile, which is about to be phased out, still involves great risks. On the flight route of the Tomahawk missile, it is difficult to say that some artificial aircraft will not appear. The missiles took off one after another and flew rapidly in the predetermined direction. After approaching the town for more than ten kilometers, the Tomahawk missile quickly dropped in altitude and crashed directly towards somewhere in the town. "Psychic barrier!" "Psychic barrier!" "Psychic barrier!" Under the guidance of the mind flayer mastermind, all mind flayers and elite mind flayers released their psychic power with all their strength. A series of psychic fluctuations spread over the town, interacting with each other. Intertwined, layers of transparent defensive barriers were soon formed above the town. Boom! The first Tomahawk missile hit the psychic barrier, and was immediately detonated by a violent impact, forming a violent explosion of fire. Boom boom boom! Continuous explosions sounded throughout the town. The Tomahawk missiles collided with the psychic barrier, rapidly consuming the psychic power of the mind flayers. Of course, with the guidance of the mind flayer mastermind, the mind flayers' psychic power consumption was reduced by two-thirds. If this were not the case, the continuous bombardment in the previous few minutes would have been enough to defeat the psychic barrier and bring down the entire small town. The town was in flames. "Well, the mind flayer's psychic power cannot last for long. It didn¡¯t take long. The bodies of the mind flayers went limp. After exhausting its psychic power, the terrifying and evil Mind Flayer is no longer as good as a dog. But then, the mind flayer mastermind took over those psychic barriers. Compared with those mind flayers and elite mind flayers, the psychic power of the mind flayer mastermind is so powerful that many Tomahawk missiles were directly detonated by the psychic power before they even got close. As a result, the impact on the psychic barrier It was weakened to the extreme. In addition, the demon soldiers controlled by the mastermind also made their own contributions. With their precise marksmanship, they can always hit one or two missiles after firing hundreds of bullets. certainly. This is also a risk of life. If the missile fails to detonate in advance, it is impossible for the demon soldiers to survive within the explosion radius of the Tomahawk missile. After all, the defense and recovery capabilities of these demon soldiers are not enough to withstand missile explosions at close range. For the loss of demon soldiers, the mind flayer mastermind has no regrets at all. These controlled and enslaved humans are originally consumables in the eyes of the mind flayer mastermind. They must maximize their value to resist human attacks. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. Just before the missile struck, the Mind Flayer mastermind had already pushed his brain pool more than ten meters underground. The mind flayer mastermind began to have a dangerous premonition not long ago. The psychic barrier has been broken a lot. Fires were burning all over the town, and various buildings collapsed amidst the explosions. Those Tomahawk missiles carrying ground-penetrating warheads blasted deep holes in the ground. Not even the Mind Flayer mastermind could have protected the entire town intact from a missile attack of this scale. It is not impossible to do that, but the mind flayer mastermind will probably consume all the psychic power. Thus falling into a coma. The choice of the mastermind is to shrink the spiritual power to a range of less than ten meters around itself, and drive humans to keep digging downwards. As for the mind flayers and humans who are still on the ground in the town. The mind flayer mastermind gave them up decisively. For the mind flayer mastermind who prefers absolute rationality, anything can be discarded in the face of survival. Well, from this point of view, it is understandable that it is difficult for the breath of the abyss to demonize the mind flayer. The Mind Flayer Mastermind has shrunk its psychic power to a range of ten meters, making it difficult for any harm to be caused to it. Half an hour later, the town was still in a sea of ??flames, the Tomahawk missiles were no longer coming, but the Mind Flayer mastermind had moved deeper underground with the brain pool, more than a hundred meters above the ground. "At this depth, unless a special earth-penetrating nuclear bomb is used to limit the explosive force in one direction, it is difficult for other bombs to threaten the mastermind. Even if it is a single-target mass bomb, after breaking through hundreds of meters of soil, it still has to face the spiritual barrier of the master brain, which is really weak. "Have you killed it?" After receiving the satellite photos of the town, the senior officials of the Hexagon couldn't help but raise a question. Of course, no one can answer this question. Soon, a small group of soldiers parachuted into the vicinity of the town. They were assigned the task of assessing the situation in the town, but they did not know that there were such terrifying monsters hidden underground in the town. There had been a heavy rain near the town before. Although the air was still a bit scorched, the flames had been completely extinguished. The soldiers found many corpse fragments in the town, including human corpse fragments and inexplicable monster corpse fragments. After receiving the news, the backup helicopter arrived quickly and sent the obtained monster corpse fragments to the black plan base. "The scientists of the Black Project are in a rush to find a treasure. They know something about a series of events that happened in California before, so they are even more interested in this monster than other monsters. A lot of things can be researched on monsters that can control humans. The persistence of scientists does not lie in studying monsters, but in uncovering some unknown secrets. The monster seems to have been destroyed. That small group of soldiers had been in the town for three days and three nights, and nothing unusual happened. In fact, the mind flayer mastermind is not an idiot. He has a premonition that if he shows up again, he may be in disaster. This is not surprising. If it is found that the monster is not destroyed under the attack of thousands of missiles, then the use of nuclear bombs is inevitable. Although it is said that nuclear bombs are released on the mainland. No matter how you look at it, it looks like an act of suicide. ¡°But this town is located in the sparsely populated west. Even if a few earth-penetrating nuclear bombs are dropped, the nuclear pollution caused can still be solved. The matter seemed to be resolved just like that. No one knew that after nightfall, the small group of soldiers had been controlled for a period of time, and a large truck drove along the highway towards the nearby city of Truss. The city of Truth ranks 28th in the ranking of large cities in the United States. Although it ranks relatively low, it is still the second largest city in California, with a population of 3.47 million, and its economy is based on the financial industry. Manufacturing and tourism are the main industries. Before the senior officials of the Hexagon could feel comfortable for half a month, problems arose in the city of Truss. Not to mention a large number of people missing, the mayor and city council issued some bizarre decrees and executive orders from time to time, and the entire city fell into chaos in just half a month. ¡°For example, the administrative order to strengthen beef cattle breeding has directly allocated 30 million US dollars from the city¡¯s finances to build beef cattle farms. This executive order has caused an uproar in the public opinion. The city of Truss is not suitable for the development of breeding industry at all. This is tantamount to a waste of taxpayers' money. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. This administrative order is nothing. What infuriates the citizens the most is the latest administrative order: "All citizens are not allowed to leave the city of Truss without the approval of the city government." "This is a step back in freedom!" "Is it true? Does that idiot mayor want to raise us like pigs?" "Protest!" There is no doubt in everyone's eyes. The mayor and city council are in a state of insanity. There are endless calls for the mayor to step down and all city council members to step down. Of course, even with such calls, these executive orders are still implemented forcefully. "The mayor there. Is the city council crazy?" There is no doubt that even the president finds this unbelievable, but this is a decision unanimously passed by the city council. Not even the President can interfere. But for Hexagon, the abnormal situation in Truth City is like a bucket of cold water poured on the heads of the senior executives. The mayor and city council of Truth cannot be collectively insane. Coupled with the large number of missing persons cases, the only explanation and answer is that the monster has gone to Truth. What to do now? Will the nuclear bomb wipe out Truss? Are you kidding me? In that case, even the soldiers would not carry out this order. Within three days, all the high-level officials present will have to be sent to a military court. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? At this time, the monster can be said to have collectively kidnapped more than three million citizens of Truss City, and brought Truss?? turned into his own breeding farm. Even though the Hexagon has the strongest and most powerful military in the world, it is unable to do anything about it. ??This is the most disgusting method to make people throw themselves into danger. By this time, the Hexagon was unable to solve the problem, and the issue had to be handed over to the president. Regarding the handing over of the problem to the Hexagon, the President, while cursing a group of idiots, also had to bring together a think tank to study how to solve the problem. ??More than a dozen methods were quickly listed, but each one has its flaws. It either takes too long or will cause more and more troublesome problems. There are also methods that are more embarrassing. In short, after summarizing all the methods, His Excellency the President found that the best way was to ask China for help. A think tank expert who proposed this method directly cited the black light gate incident in Hawaii as an example. Although the Hexagon initially claimed that the Black Light Gate incident was solved by itself to demonstrate the strength of the U.S. military, everyone in the White House office now knew that at the most critical moment of the incident, it was said that some Taoist priest from China had to solve it. ¡°It¡¯s just that to save the face of the Hexagon, no one goes around talking nonsense. ¡°But Hexagonal Building has determined that some of China¡¯s ancient heritages do possess some supernatural powers. For this reason, the Black Project has also dedicated a portion of manpower and material resources to research these supernatural powers. Regrettably, this kind of research is not as smooth as the research on demons. To this day, not even the slightest results have been achieved. However, due to the need for research on these supernatural forces, the president established a special organization to interface with the Chinese Religious Association. He had previously communicated with many Taoist temples in China. Therefore, if you are willing to lose some face, the agency specially established by the President can secretly communicate with China to ask for help. (To be continued)?¡
