Chapter 26: The Beginning
"Mr. Michael Lin?"
As the sound came out, Michael Lin found that the cloth strips tied to his eyes were taken down, and there was a soft light in his eyes. After a few seconds, his vision completely recovered. He found that this was a hall similar to a basement warehouse. The hall was extremely large and surrounded by people, with at least hundreds of people. When he was removed from his blindfold, he saw many people sitting in his seat looking back at him.
Michael Lin hadn't seen who these people were for a while, but he knew clearly that he had been kidnapped. Judging from his hungry stomach, but not to the point of being unbearable thirst, he was kidnapped about eight hours ago. During this period, his eyes were blocked by eye masks. He tried to talk to the kidnappers in the middle, but no one answered. Such a situation was really bad for him, an intelligence officer, and it means that the person who kidnapped him was probably organized, or even a foreign agent.
Until now when he was removed from his blindfold, he was stunned when he saw the environment here, because it was completely different from what he expected. Isn’t what awaited him interrogation or blackmail?
"Mr. McCorlin?"
The voice was made again, and the voice was obviously a little dissatisfied, which made Michael immediately come back to his senses and look at the source of the voice, but he saw it as a little boy, about teenage years old, holding a notepad and talking while watching him.
Michaelin nodded subconsciously, and the little boy immediately handed him a plastic sign, and said, "Your seat is in the third row, and your identity sign says, "If you are hungry, you can go to the corner of the room to get your own food, there are drinks and bread, and there is only one toilet. If you want to go to the toilet, it is best to queue up five minutes in advance."
The little boy said this quickly and urgently, obviously I don't know how many times he said it. After that, he walked towards another place, but Michael Lin was puzzled. He immediately pulled the little boy with his hands, but at the same time, his other hand was faster. He was a tall and strong muscular man with a cold look and expressionless face. He grabbed his hand and looked at him without saying a word.
Michael Lin immediately said, "Wait, wait a moment, I have no malice, but what is this? I... am I kidnapped? Is this there? Who are you?"
The little boy patted his head and said with some distress: "You were kidnapped. I know this, but I don't know how to explain it to you... Forget it, see how busy I am, you are delaying me. Oh my God, do you want me to live? The meeting will start in one hour. I have more than 30 people to notify and wake up. You can go and sit in your seat." After that, he ignored McCorlin and walked to the other side.
Michael Lin looked over and saw more than 30 people tied with eye masks there, including men and women, but they were all adults, elderly people, but there were no children. He felt familiar with these people, but he couldn't remember who was here for a while. At this moment, he was very anxious and didn't care about anything at the moment. There was no one guarding him around. He walked carefully towards the toilet and observed all the way, trying to find the exit of the hall, as well as the possible guards around him, etc.
When Michael Lin came to the toilet seat in the hall, he saw that there were men and women in line. Seeing that there were about a dozen people in the queue, it probably had to be lined up for at least a few minutes. Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly slapped one hand from behind. Michael Lin subconsciously pinched his palm with his backhand and wanted to turn it around, but a sound made him stop suddenly.
"McColin?! You were kidnapped, too?"
Michael Lin immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a suit and looking at him with shock. He also replied in surprise: "Director, Director? You have also been kidnapped!?"
After confirming that Michael Lin was indeed in front of him, the man immediately pulled him into the line and said in a low voice: "Not only me, but also eight other members of Bolt, have been kidnapped. I also saw General Shawell before, but there was a kidnapper around him at that time, so I didn't get up to get close."
At this moment, Michael Lin was so surprised that he lowered his voice at the same time and said, "Impossible... What kind of organization is this? Having kidnapped so many personnel from political key departments, what about our troops' actions? It is impossible. After kidnapping at most two or three, our troops should take action, right?"
The director was silent and said, "They acted at night and the kidnapping was extremely efficient. After kidnapping some unimportant personnel, they began to kidnap important personnel. However, they were indeed exposed later. General Shawel was ordered to encircle and suppress them. In addition, our agents and special forces soldiers, but they... they defeated our troops, so that General Shawel and I would be captured..."
Michael Lin felt that his whole life was going to run out of surprise in this day. He swallowed and said, "...Is it Russia? Or North Korea? Or China? Could it be...Europe?"
The director was silent again. At this time, the team had already reached McCorlin. He pushed McCorlin and said, "You go and solve it first. I'm in the second row, and you come to me directly later. I think you can reveal some things to you."
At this moment, McCorlin urgently solved his internal emergency. When the solution was solved, he had already thought about it. The situation in front of him was extremely strange, which made him not deny his original idea. What jokes are you? What kidnappers can do this? Not to mention the kidnappers, even a well-known intelligence organization in Russia, Europe or Asian countries, it is impossible to do such a thing. You must know that he lives in Washington, and the people in the key departments who were kidnapped all lived in Washington, such as those members of parliament, such as General Shawill. When he was ordered to encircle and attack, the number of troops must be large. To solve this force, the director and General Shawill must be captured at the same time, and to get rid of the follow-up troops of pursuit. Such a thing...it is impossible to happen!
Unless... Russia, together with Europe, or China and North Korea, directly sent a large number of landing troops through nuclear submarines, it would be impossible to do this, but there is almost no possibility of such a situation unless they want to break out of World War III...
Thinking of this, Michael Lin's vest was already covered in cold sweat. World War III... Once it broke out, it would inevitably be a war to destroy human civilization. Because of the existence of nuclear weapons, it is not only a stability maintenance tool that guarantees world peace in peace, but also a demon who may destroy human civilization at any time...
When Michael Lin came to the director's position, there were more than ten people waiting there, including several of them he knew, all of whom were colleagues in the Intelligence Bureau, and some people he didn't know, but judging from his outfit, they should be officers.
Next to the director was a strong elderly man. This elderly man, Michael Lin, knew General Shawill. When Michael Lin arrived, they seemed to be arguing about something. They had already stopped talking when they saw someone approaching, but after seeing that it was Michael Lin, several of them breathed a sigh of relief. The director immediately said, "Are you here? Michael Lin... Your question just now is the focus of our discussion, what have we been defeated."
Michael Lin calmed down at this moment. He brought a chair, sat down and asked, "I want to know how many troops the other party has? Are they special forces? What are the heavy weapons equipped? Or do they use missiles? Where are our counterattacks? Is the government declared war now?"
After asking these series of questions, everyone smiled bitterly, which made Michael Lin feel inexplicable. When he was about to ask again, General Shawel said: "There are only four enemies I can confirm. As for whether there are still hidden in the dark, I don't know. However, the other party used heavy weapons and did not use heavy weapons, and missiles or other things were not used."
Michael Lin heard it even more inexplicably, and the director said at this time: "The so-called heavy weapons... are different from the weapons you imagined. They used robots."
"robot?"
Michael Lin asked the director inexplicably, and his expression seemed to be the director making an international joke. The director smiled bitterly: "Yes, robot, don't look at me with this kind of idiot's eyes. I'm in a normal state now, and not only I have seen it, but most of the people here have seen it. That's indeed a robot, right?"
Everyone around nodded, and Michael immediately scratched his head and said, "Wait a moment before I was unbuttoned, my head was still a little unconscious... Robot? The kind we are studying? With guns and crawlers, infrared cameras, and computer recognition systems? Haven't the research been successful yet?"
Unexpectedly, everyone around him shook his head, and one of the officers said, "No, it's not that kind. We can see clearly that it is a huge humanoid robot at least six meters tall. It has hands, feet, and is very tough. Even if it is hit by a sniper rifle, it does not hurt its internal structure at all. It has eyes and heads, and it is not clear whether anyone is driving inside, but it is definitely a metal robot."
Michael Lin immediately looked at everyone as if he was an idiot. He even began to suspect that these people had either surrendered or were hypnotized and brainwashed.
The director looked at McCorlin's expression, and sighed and said in a low voice: "Mcorlin, do you still remember the suspicious points you mentioned before?"
Michael Lin was shocked and immediately said, "You mean...you mean, in the New York City International Airport bombing, the half-burned photography belt was the one that saw the skeleton moving in the fire and attacking the gun, and the one that disappeared from the bureau's archives the next day?"
The director nodded and said with a cautious expression: "It's that... that skeleton is silver-white. If it were replaced with metal... Also, you also told me that it would not be possible for so many people to die from the explosion at the international airport. At least twenty of them should be outside the explosion range, and there were no so many gun marks found, so that group of people..."
"Where are they now?"
"Didn't you know something, and like us, after being kidnapped and then disappeared?"
As soon as this said, everyone present suddenly felt cold all over, and they didn't know what to make...
