Chapter 412 Aftermath
“Boom!”
Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the fire was soaring into the sky. Even if it was five or six kilometers away, people could still feel the slight tremor on the ground, as if a small-scale event had just occurred. earthquake.
In the telescopes of the BAU people, the lonely stone mountain in the distance seemed like a volcano erupting, or like a huge pressure cooker with a high-pressure valve blocked and exploding.
Countless amounts of dust burst out from inside the mountain along with the light of fire. After a violent tremor, this lonely stone mountain shrank by a large margin.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the original jagged and towering mountains disappeared. The entire mountain also completely changed its appearance, from a pointed bamboo shoot shape to one made of gravel and sand. Grave bag.
At this time, the time has come to the eighth day after the night of massacre in Meihu Town. A National Guard of nearly a thousand people was dispatched to the vicinity of the "Clark Proving Ground" five days ago.
Under the direction of Manard Andrews, who was still half alive, the guard blocked the stone mountain near the "Clark Proving Ground".
This place was originally an abandoned gold mine and was later used as an underground arsenal. It is full of dense tunnels and several connected underground warehouses. It was also used to evaluate a secret nuclear test. The effect of a nuclear explosion.
I don’t know when this abandoned arsenal was occupied by those ogres and became their lair.
After spending three days and killing dozens of soldiers, the National Guard gave up its plan to eliminate the monsters and directly buried tons of explosives in the mountain.
Then, the FBI saw the scene in front of them.
The news of monster attacks on the town was finally suppressed. After annihilating all the ogres that attacked the town, Red successfully contacted the outside world through a shortwave radio.
The Colorado Emergency Command Center, which had dealt with everyone in the crash case, responded quickly. All the FBI-SWAT teams stationed in Denver rushed to the town of Meihu by helicopter overnight.
They first blocked the crowds who were attending the music festival by the lake and trying to return to the town after dawn, and then blocked the entire town in the name of a terrorist attack.
Although there will still be rumors coming out, and although some people will question why terrorists attack a remote and deserted town, in modern society, a place that is disconnected from the Internet is an information island that is completely isolated.
Jeremy's actions to disrupt local communications actually helped the FBI and Colorado authorities a lot.
As long as you control the network in a region and kill reporters who dare to get close, what happened here is not up to those who really have the power.
Bombing schools and hospitals is definitely not done by a just party that was once a victim of NC. It is all your fault for deflecting the rockets.
Of course, the attack in Meihu Town did not require this level of blockade. A few weeks later, a wealthy oil and gas company from Texas moved in, which became a real breaking news in the area.
Soon no one paid attention to a small terrorist attack that did not cause many casualties.
The nuclear bomb was of some use after all. After half a century of precipitation, the oil and gas resources near the "Clark Experimental Site" can actually be exploited again.
At least the amount of radiation in the natural gas has been reduced to a reassuring level. In Rossi’s words, it is much more environmentally friendly than the sewage discharged into the sea by an island country.
Of course, what happened next had nothing to do with Jack. The ogre he encountered this time caused him heavy losses. The Ford F150 was scrapped just after it completed the running-in period. Compared with the time in New Mexico, there was neither a beautiful woman in the arms nor a shiny gold in the account. Apart from letting Jiejie experience the awesome aftereffects of an adrenaline burst, she got nothing.
Not long after returning to Los Angeles, he attended a grand but low-key wedding.
It was grand because the guests attending this wedding included almost all the political bigwigs in California and the greater Los Angeles area.
The reason for the low profile is that no TV media or online media reported the specific circumstances of this wedding. It only occupied a small page in the "Los Angeles Times" the next day.
The peculiarity of course refers to the fact that this wedding has two brides in wedding dresses, but no groom.
This wedding is of course the same-sex wedding of Zoe Anderson and Maureen Cahill.
The real groom had been busy in the kitchen all day that day and didn't even dare to show his face. The two brides in wedding dresses were so eye-catching at a wedding that someone who knew the inside story was blue in the face the entire day.
It took Jack a whole week to coax Hannah into getting better, and then Hannah revealed the matter to Jiejie.
However, the gentle Jiejie did not make things too difficult for anyone. This guy was still frightened by the sequelae of that outbreak, and he didn't dare to provoke this animal too much in the short term.
——
Fortunately, a new case has appeared again, and it is definitely a serial murder case. Everyone has just got rid of the psychological shadow caused by the ogre case, and they are in high spirits when they walk into the conference room. The spirits are pretty good.
"Six victims died in serial burglaries and homicides. The crime locations were scattered in central California, in order: Bakersfield, Fresno, Chico, and then Sacramento two days ago."
Jiejie listed the photos of the victims one by one on the screen.
"California again? Is this the first case we have received that occurred in California?" It has to be said that Jack felt that Rossi was too wise to set the base of the BAU team in Los Angeles. .
"Is the scope too large? Are you sure it's the same suspect?" Of course Rossi couldn't hear Jack's complaints. He had already devoted himself to this case.
"The same DNA was found in the victims' homes." Jiejie nodded.
Hotchner added for her, "The connection was not discovered before because the case crossed jurisdictions and the DNA identification took too long."
"The Sacramento Police Department has established multiple departments The task force, and wants us to direct the investigation."
Reed frowned as he looked at the dense list of investigators, "Are there too many investigators? I saw at least forty or fifty police officers. "
Hotchner nodded in agreement, "I will streamline the personnel if necessary."
"You'd better know one thing first. They gave the suspect a name. It's called 'Highway 99 Killer'," Jiejie said with a wry smile.
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly. It wasn't because they had any taboos, it was simply because they were psychologically troubled by this nonsense of naming a serial killer.
A certain female FBI agent who died in the line of duty had done this before.
