Chapter 511: Cutoff
Victor's eyes were fixed on Nick's body.
Nick was completely electrocuted, but in his eyes there was still a trace of attachment to this world and indescribable fear.
Vincent quickly took the two agents and carefully examined Nick's body.
After examining the body, an experienced old agent whispered, "He was electrocuted. There was no other poisoning or hidden injuries."
Vincent frowned. "He didn't even have a cell phone on him, and there were no sockets or wires in this room. How did he get electrocuted?"
The old agent was also confused. He checked the bed and the walls, and found no contact with any electrical wires. The only electrical appliances in the room were the LED lights on the ceiling, a specially designed air conditioner, and a landline phone.
Another agent scratched his hair: "It's like the current is coming from Nick himself."
However, Vincent shook his head: "We have conducted a detailed full-body examination on Nick before and did not find any abnormalities. The static electricity in the body cannot kill a person."
Vincent, who had preconceived ideas, obviously did not believe in the idea that the human body could generate electricity on its own.
After all, humans are not electric eels. The static electricity generated occasionally can only cause itchy skin and numbing scalp at most. There is no case to refer to where human static electricity has killed people.
Vincent is more inclined to believe that Sapiens used some means to kill Nick using electric current.
Victor calmed down and told Vincent, "Vincent, you are responsible for investigating this matter. Even if you have to tear down this safe house, you must find the problem for me."
"Yes. " Vincent replied very seriously.
Victor hurriedly left the scene and headed for the core security office area of the Pentagon.
After going through layers of checks and passing through three security doors, Victor met Edward.
Edward also learned that Nick was electrocuted to death under strict protection, and he also took this matter very seriously and was terrified.
In the office.
As soon as he saw Victor come in, Edward couldn't wait to ask, "What's the situation? Have you found out the assassination method?"
Victor's face was filled with helplessness: "No, there was no sign at all."
"How is this possible?" Edward's body trembled slightly. He believed that this murder in a closed room must have been committed by some unknown means.
"There is still no clue as of now. I have arranged for people to conduct an in-depth investigation, but I don't have much hope for it." Victor said the latter part, without any confidence in his words.
"Damn it, the Homo Sapiens Company doesn't take us seriously at all!" Edward gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger.
However, Victor understood that the stronger the strength displayed by Homo Sapiens Company and the tougher its means, the more frightened the guys on the board of directors would be, and the more likely it would be that the board of directors would compromise in the face of Homo Sapiens Company's oppression.
Just like before, the Homo Sapiens company extended its reach into the Aztec region and unscrupulously excluded Americans throughout Central America.
Now in Central America, anyone who dares to openly be pro-American will definitely end up in a miserable situation.
Except for the relatively tenacious and independent Cigar Island Republic and the areas that are controlled by America, the entire Central America now tends to favor the Homo sapiens Company.
Faced with the aggressiveness of the Homo Sapiens company, America still endured it.
From this point, Victor knew how soft America was at the moment.
The situation has almost reached their doorstep, but the bosses behind the scenes on the board of directors dare not say a word.
Victor has heard too many curses from Edward in recent days, but he is not as strong as him, so he can only be furious and helpless.
After cursing for a few minutes, Edward was tired and sat down again: "Suspend the infiltration mission against the Homo Sapiens Company. Now is not the time to provoke the Homo Sapiens Company."
"I'll arrange it." Victor nodded helplessly.
That's the reality.
So what if people were killed? The Pentagon knew it was Sapiens who did it, but it could only swallow its anger and pretend nothing happened.
Just as the two were discussing how to deal with the increasingly terrifying pressure from the Homo Sapiens Company.
…
A sudden cold front quickly moved southward from the Arctic Ocean, crossed the Maple Leaf Country, and entered the Great Lakes region of America.
Lake Michigan in Michigan.
The blizzard mixed with hail quickly formed a thin layer of crushed ice on the lake surface.
America's weather management department NOAA was also caught off guard by the sudden cold air.
NOAA's headquarters is located in Maryland.
At NOAA headquarters, in the Meteorological Analysis Center, dozens of meteorological analysts and supervisors watched the Arctic cold air mass suddenly moving southward, which was now rapidly advancing toward the Mississippi Plains and Aztec Bay.
Jessica, the person in charge of weather warning, hurriedly instructed her assistant: "Issue an orange cold wave warning to the southern states immediately!"
"OK."
Dr. Magellan, who was in charge of meteorological analysis, had a serious expression on his face: "Jessica, the situation is very bad."
"Doctor, it's just a cold wave, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Jessica was obviously not a meteorological professional, she was just in charge of management work.
Dr. Magellan, who has been in the industry for decades, knows that this cold wave is different from the past: "Jessica, please ask the director to communicate with the higher-ups as soon as possible. Just tell him that the North Atlantic warm current has been severely interrupted recently, and he will understand the seriousness of this matter."
"North Atlantic Current? OK." Jessica nodded.
Dr. Magellan continued to lead a group of meteorological analysts to study the changes in the Earth's atmosphere and ocean at this time.
Judging from recent data from geological remote sensing satellites.
The sea water temperature of the North Atlantic Current has dropped to about the same level as that of the Whale Sea at the same latitude.
Without the warm water vapor brought by the North Atlantic Current, the average temperature along the entire eastern coast of North America and the western coast of Europe is much lower than in previous years.
You know, it is already the end of spring in the northern hemisphere, and it is less than a month away from early summer in May.
However, at this point in time, a cold wave quickly swept across North America.
Since there are no tall east-west mountains in central North America, cold air from high latitudes can move directly in.
The drop in temperature of the North Atlantic warm current has resulted in low sea water temperatures in the Gulf of Aztec, which in turn has affected the northward intensity of the equatorial hot air mass.
As one grows stronger while the other shrinks, even if the pressure of the Arctic high-pressure cold air mass is not too high at this time, it can still advance all the way south.
Soon the cold front moved into the Mississippi Plains.
As the core agricultural area of North America, it had just been not long since spring planting , and many soybeans, corn, and wheat that had just emerged were instantly hit by freezing damage caused by temperatures of several degrees below zero.
For crops that have just sprouted, let alone a few degrees below zero, even temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius will affect the yield. The current situation means that the crops are basically wiped out.
The cold air roared all the way from the Great Lakes Plains to the coastal plains of Texas.
Even in the southern coast of Texas, which has the lowest latitude, the local minimum temperature is only 2 to 4 degrees Celsius at this time.
Even the eastern coast of the northern Aztec region was affected to some extent.
But this is just the beginning.
