It was chaos inside the White Palace, and it was not much better outside the palace. The loud noise just now was caused by someone placing a very powerful bomb in the Women's Building.
After the explosion, the dome hall of the Society of Women's Building was on the verge of collapsing. Fortunately, the office of the Vice President, Trum Bull, and the Speaker, Eli were quite far from the dome hall.
Although both of them were slightly injured, it did not affect their movements. They were quickly helped out of the Women's Building by their respective security guards.
Michael Banning, who was rushing to the hospital, did not care that his wife was about to give birth. When the bomb exploded, he was not far from the Women's Building and heard the loud noise.
Banning immediately abandoned the car and rushed to the Women's Building.
As he ran, he used the walkie-talkie to contact the White Palace. Unfortunately, one of the masterminds of the attack was his most respected teacher and friend, Martin Walker.
Banning was relieved when he learned from Martin that Benjamin Arthur was now in the Oval Office and that his safety was not a problem for the time being.
When he rushed into the Women's Building, he saw Speaker Eli being escorted out by security. Banning directly took over Eli's security and drove him to the Washington National Guard Headquarters according to emergency measures.
Deputy Chief Drum Bull was taken directly to the airport and boarded Air Force One.
As soon as Drum got into the plane, it began to taxi. The captain's voice sounded on the radio, "I'm sorry, Mr. Deputy Chief Drum, the situation is urgent. We must rise to 45,000 feet in 45 seconds.
So please fasten your seat belt. If you feel any discomfort, please contact the doctor immediately. Thank you. "
Just five seconds after the plane left the runway, the nose of the plane was suddenly pulled up and shot straight into the sky at a 45-degree angle.
In the White Palace, William stood by the window with Emily Kyle in his arms and secretly looked out of the palace.
In the distance, three Marine One's rushed over here at the risk of being shot down. As soon as they approached, the unique sound of Gatling guns could be heard from the roof.
In just a few seconds, the leading Marine One was shot down by a storm of bullets. This made everyone in the outside world understand that their President's Building was occupied again in less than half a year.
Air Force One was already flying smoothly. After Drum Bull understood the situation, he contacted the higher-ups that he could.
After a brief discussion, according to the new law that had not been introduced for three months, the deputy barrel had the right to change the launch codes of the nuclear and guide eggs in his possession when the life or death of Benjamin Arthur was unknown.
This was to prevent the situation that almost destroyed the entire United States of America after the White Palace was occupied half a year ago.
And if they could confirm that Benjamin Arthur had been captured, the Deputy Chief Engineer on Air Force One would take over as Chief Engineer.
This made Trum, who had already experienced the White Palace being occupied, feel very helpless. Why did this kind of thing always happen when he wasn't ready?
It was the same when London was attacked, and now it was the same. Thrum felt that God was probably testing him. At the same time, he knew that even if he really wanted to take over the position of Head Bucket, he would have to confirm that Benjamin was in danger before he agreed.
Otherwise, if he appeared to be too impatient, not to mention how others would view him, just the Arthur Family's power alone was likely to turn from an ally to an enemy.
In the Oval Office, Michael Banning was not there today. Martin Walker, the security chief who usually did not need to take care of the specific operations, directly became the only person who could make decisions around Benjamin.
When he heard that Marine One was shot down, Martin Walker thought for a moment with a sullen face before he suggested to Benjamin, "Mr. Head Bucket, I think we should go to the underground bunker.
As long as you enter the underground bunker, all the calculations of the gangsters will be in vain, even if they have to destroy the White Palace in the end.
Even if you stay in the bunker, there won't be a problem with your safety. You just have to wait for rescue. "
"I understand what you're saying, but are you sure that only the seven of us can safely reach the entrance of the bunker?" Benjamin doubted.
Benjamin, who had experienced the bunker being occupied once, now was almost afraid of entering the underground bunker again. So when he heard Martin Walker's words, he instinctively doubted Martin.
However, Martin Walker was prepared. He smiled and said, "I know that it will be difficult to go to the underground bunker now, so my plan is not to go to the main bunker 100 meters underground. We only need to go to the newly built sub-bunker that is 15 meters deep.
This crisis is not a nuclear crisis, so we don't have to go to the main bunker 100 meters deep. The sub-bunker is only 20 meters away from the Oval Office.
I will go out and check first. Once I confirm that the 20 meters distance is safe, you will need less than 10 seconds to run there.
So this risk is worth taking. Otherwise, if we continue to stay here, once the gangsters use plastic explosives, then … "
Martin did not say the consequences, but everyone at the scene understood what he meant. Although the door and walls of the Oval Office were bullet-proof, they could not prevent continuous explosions.
After thinking for a few seconds, Benjamin Arthur nodded, "Let's do as you said. Be careful, Martin. If there is danger, retreat immediately."
"Understood, Mr. Head Bucket."
Martin said to the secret service in the office with a serious face, "If I confirm that it is safe, I will knock a code on the door, and you will immediately rush out with Mr. Head Bucket.
If there is a gunfight after I go out, don't bother about me, understand? "
"Understood, sir." The five secret service members held back their tears and watched Martin heroically walk out of the office.
After he walked out of the office and closed the door, Martin Walker walked 20 meters down the corridor and met five armed gangsters.
Not only did the expected gunfight not happen, Martin Walker even smiled and shook hands with a man called Emil Stan.
"Let our people hide first. To enter the bunker, we need Benjamin's voiceprint, fingerprints, eye prints, and password.
We only need to capture Benjamin's fingerprints, voiceprint, and eye prints, but without the password, we can only rely on the weapon control room's server interface. It will waste a lot of time to break in. The sooner we control the missile system, the higher the success rate of our plan. "
"Okay." Emil Stan looked at the corridor where there was no hiding place and smiled, "Then I will bring people to the east building first, in case the timid Mr. Benjamin does not dare to come out. But, Martin, can you handle all the secret service members around Benjamin by yourself?"
Martin smiled and waved the gun in his hand. "Don't forget, I'm also a special agent. I've been playing with guns for 40 years. It's easy for me to take down a few unsuspecting people. Wait for my good news."
Emil Stan looked at Martin's confident look and nodded. He turned and led his men out of the west building and into the east building to wait for the notice.
After waiting in the corridor for a minute, Martin walked back to the Oval Office and knocked on the door with a code.
