At this moment, the cell phone of a person next to Norton suddenly rang.
He is the police chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The old policeman took out his old cell phone and answered the call.
"Yes, that's right...what did you say?"
The old man's voice suddenly soared, causing Norton and others to frown and look at him.
But before Norton could say anything, the old policeman started explaining.
"The other four missing persons have been found! They are not conscious enough, but they are not unconscious!"
"Where!"
Norton stepped forward and grabbed the phone, only to find that it had been hung up.
"After a comprehensive checkup in the isolation ward of the municipal hospital, he is conscious and responding well. We can go there now."
After hearing the old policeman's words, Norton and others did not hesitate any longer.
Except for leaving necessary personnel at the crime scene, the others got on the car again and went directly to the municipal hospital.
The police outside only saw this group of people from the special department coming in hurriedly and leaving in a hurry.
…
"Jack, Joseph, Baloo, and Ottos. The four of them were found lying deep in the wilderness."
The detective outside the quarantine ward was one of the patrol officers who discovered the four survivors.
At this moment, the basic situation is being explained to the Director General, Norton and others.
But it is obvious that the director has no say here.
Norton took over the discourse directly.
"Where is the location?"
The detective was naturally not so blind as to fail to see the situation, so he cooperated very well.
"About twenty meters north of the middle of Highway 5."
By this time, a member of the Organization Department had found a map of the suburbs of Los Angeles and spread it out on the floor of the corridor outside the ward.
Norton took a red pen, pointed to a spot and looked up to ask the detective.
"Is this the place?"
The detective also squatted down and carefully compared the location on the map.
Without saying anything more, he reached out and took the red pen from Norton's hand, and drew a red circle half a palm away from the point Norton pointed.
"The exact location is here."
The detective's action made Norton and even the director of the Los Angeles Police Department take a serious look at him.
But soon, his mind was occupied by reasoning.
Norton drew a red circle where Old Ode's recycling yard was located, and connected the two red circles in front and back with a line.
Based on the scale of this map, the straight-line distance is more than 5 kilometers.
Norton's brow furrowed.
'So far away? Why are they there?'
This was also the doubt of others present.
Did he go there running?
This is obviously impossible. The doctor concluded that the only difference between these four people and the six people who were still in a coma was their consciousness. Their physical conditions were equally bad. They couldn't even stand steadily, let alone run.
"Where are the information of these four people?"
A team member on the side immediately handed over a tablet with detailed file information of the four people.
Jack and Joseph's information was immediately skipped over, Ottos's was only briefly glanced over, and Norton focused on Baru's information.
"Baru Gersonnier, nicknamed 'Eagle', is a former Navy SEAL who participated in the wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. He once participated in Operation Sunwheel and led the successful Jockman Garden Infiltration... He is familiar with jungle warfare, amphibious operations, and small-scale raids..."
There are many red bars in this information. Obviously, ordinary people cannot see it unless they have sufficient authority.
'sharp!'
This is the first reaction in the minds of everyone who sees this information.
Just like the protagonist in some passionate movies.
This is a standard iron-blooded warrior, one of the core backbones of Hercules Security Company!
Such people should be given special attention wherever they are.
Norton responded in the same way.
Just then, the door of the isolation area's disinfection room opened and three doctors in isolation suits walked out.
Everyone immediately gathered around to inquire about the situation.
The leading doctor took off his mask.
"Except for being weak, the patients are in good condition. No special infections or parasites have been found. Their consciousness has recovered and they can communicate. You can go in now."
…
In the ward, Baru lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
There is a glucose drip in my arm.
His other three companions were probably being admitted to other nearby wards, and someone would probably come to ask him some questions soon.
Baru knew very well that his resume was special and they would definitely look for him first.
Sure enough, the door of the ward was opened.
A group of people came in wearing full body isolation suits.
While Baru sneered in his heart, he also knew that his mission was about to begin.
'This will be my first mission in Dawn! Sooner or later I will become a true Silent Knight!'
Looking at his clean right hand, his eyes sparkled with determination.
'Win my Dawn Seal!'
…
When Norton looked at Baru, Baru was also looking at him.
"I know what you want to ask."
Before any questions were asked, Baru spoke first.
"But before that, before I tell you about that horrific memory, I have a question that I would like your person in charge to answer for me."
Having said that, Baloo's eyes were always fixed on Norton. It was obvious that he could tell who was the boss of this group at a glance.
Norton was slightly surprised, but didn't say much.
He walked straight to the chair beside Baru's bed and sat down.
"Speaking."
Baru looked at him with a hint of appreciation.
He is calm, doesn't speak in official language or nonsense, and is not arrogant. He is a man who gets things done.
Baru "struggled" to sit up from the bed and took a deep breath.
"What I saw must not be something that can be explained by conventional science. That kind of horror..."
He stopped talking midway and stared at Norton.
"Sir, I want to ask...are we...ready? Are we, America, ready to deal with this?"
This question made Norton's heart tremble.
The first thing he thought of was the current situation in the department and the country in this regard.
No! Not at all! We don't even know what's going on!
But such words could not be said, especially by him as the person in charge.
Then, Norton reacted immediately.
Why did Baru ask this?
Should a normal person's reaction be to think that he was involved in an accidental incident, or to complain or feel fear after escaping death, or to blame or confide in others?
And Baru's words made it sound as if he knew that there would be more incidents like this in the future, and even knew that they would be so numerous that they would affect the national level?
But no matter how big the question mark in his mind was, Norton chose to answer Baru's question first.
"Mr. Baru, we are the department directly responsible for this matter. America naturally has the power to deal with all threats, and we still need your cooperation."
It's very official, it's as good as saying nothing.
But Baru already had a guess as to the answer.
Norton would be right in saying this in any situation, except at this moment!
The implicit message in Baru's previous words was that it was a bait deliberately thrown out, a bait that could make people with quick reactions pay enough attention to it in an instant.
Based on this premise, the weight you add when answering your own questions will naturally be different.
Official language is equivalent to saying nothing, and can also be understood as having nothing to say.
"They say that they will deal with all threats with the power of America. It seems that they probably have no idea what they will face in the future..."
Baru closed his eyes slightly, and his worry in his heart increased.
