Chapter 1060

"Sir, you attacked the Capitol building last night."

"So?"

Hawk said with a smile: "I not only attacked the Capitol building, I also attacked the Pentagon, and not just these two places. After I've rested, I will attack every one of your military bases, whether on the ground, underground, at sea, or on the seabed. You'd better ensure you can kill me, otherwise, I will kill you."

Reed Stacy felt a chill in his heart, but endured it and remained calm: "Sir, that's not what I meant. I meant, I am the one designated last night."

Once these words were spoken, Hawk's expression was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to have thought of something.

"You are the designated survivor?"

"Yes, sir."

"... Congratulations!"

After Hawk was in a trance, his expression returned to calm, and he said congratulations to Reed Stacy.

Designated survivor!

A feature in the federal system, designating a congressman, any congressman, once the president and even everyone in the cabinet are unfortunately killed, then this designated survivor will be directly promoted to sit on the presidential throne.

This system can ensure that when the Federation encounters a catastrophic disaster, it will not completely fall apart.

But...

No one had ever thought that this designated survivor system would one day take effect, at least before today, no one had ever thought about it.

Reed Stacy heard Hawk's congratulations, and the bitter smile on his face became even more intense.

Hawk looked at Reed Stacy with great interest: "So, Mr. New President, how do you plan to deal with me?"

Reed smiled bitterly: "Mr. Phoenix, believe me, if I could, I wouldn't want to come here to see you."

Hawk was amused.

"But you still came."

"Yes."

Reed nodded.

Hawk changed his sitting posture, no longer supporting his chin with one hand, but leaning against the stone pillar behind him that had been scorched slightly warm by the flames: "Aren't you afraid?"

Reed was silent for a while.

"Afraid!"

"Then you still come."

"I am the new president, I must come."

Reed said in a deep voice, looking at Hawk: "When no one stands up, someone must stand up."

Hawk's mouth rose.

"So, you plan to be a hero?"

"No."

Reed shook his head: "Just like I said just now, if I wasn't the designated survivor, I definitely wouldn't have come, but I am the designated survivor, so, the responsibility has fallen on me, I must come."

Hawk heard this, looking at the person ten steps away, when he said this, the expression on his face was still visibly nervous, and then he seemed to have thought of something: "So, Reed, do you have a wife?"

Reed was slightly stunned, but still nodded.

"Yes, her name is Helen, she is the gentlest and kindest woman I have ever known in the world."

"Helen..."

Hawk heard this name, his heart moved, his gaze swept past Reed, and then he saw the woman on the side of the protective wall formed by tanks, a virtuous wife and good mother, whose gentle face was now full of nervousness, and whose gaze was fixed on this side.

"My mother-in-law is also named Helen."

Hawk withdrew his gaze and looked at Reed: "She is also one of the few kindest and gentlest women I have ever known in the world."

After saying this!

Hawk stood up from the stone steps, put his hands back into his pockets, and with just one step, he instantly appeared in front of Reed Stacy.

This scene not only scared Reed, but also scared the several soldiers responsible for protecting Reed beside him.

But fortunately, these soldiers had strong psychological qualities, and in the blink of an eye, they judged that Hawk had no intention of attacking, and released the triggers they had already pulled halfway.

Hawk looked with great interest at Reed, who was standing in front of him just like that, although very afraid and terrified, but endured not to scream, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "If someone else had come, his only end would be death, but you, I plan to give you a chance."

Reed heard this, and his body relaxed visibly to the naked eye.

Hawk smiled slightly: "Everyone who participated in the Sentinel robot experiment, even those who knew about it, I don't care who they are, I will give you one chance, I want to see their corpses, I will give you twenty-four hours, how about it?"

Reed heard this condition given by Hawk and fell into silence.

Hawk looked at Reed's expression, his tone calm: "After twenty-four hours, either I see their corpses, or I will turn you all into corpses."

Reed's whole body stiffened.

The several soldiers beside him heard Hawk's calm words, and their bodies couldn't help but stiffen as well.

After a while.

Reed took a deep breath and looked at Hawk: "I don't want to lie to you, I need to discuss it with them."

A procedural president at least has some power.

But a president who took office as a designated survivor.

Let's put it this way.

No power, only obligations.

Hawk smiled slightly and looked at Reed: "Mr. Stacy, this is not a discussion, but a notification. It is my extra tolerance because the person who came is you, the final tolerance."

Reed met Hawk's eyes, his heart jumped, he pursed his lips, and nodded.

His tone was a bit dry.

"I understand, Mr. Phoenix."

"Very good!"

Hawk heard this, withdrew his gaze, and planned to leave here.

After all, his daughter was taken by her mother to New York City to participate in combat practice, and he had to go over to watch, so as not to let his daughter be bullied.

But just then.

Reed looked at Hawk who had turned around and seemed to be leaving, reacted, and called out to Hawk.

"Mr. Phoenix!"

"Something up?"

Hawk turned around and looked at Reed who had called him.

Reed frowned slightly.

"Can I ask, why would you give me face?"

"Hehe."

"Because—"

"My wife, also has the surname Stacy!"
