Chapter 1135: Easy to Defend, Hard to Attack

Mason took a deep breath, as if he had finally mustered up the courage, "I don't have much time this time, but I will come back to find you soon, maybe we can..."

The girl's eyes sparkled. "What can we do?"

"Can we be friends first?" Mason asked cautiously.

"You know, you may be the only trace in this world that proves that I ever existed. I have missed too many things. I know we don't even understand each other at all, but if it is possible, I hope we can at least be friends."

The girl burst into laughter and said, "Really? So you really didn't escape from prison this time?"

Without waiting for Mason to answer, Jack slowly walked over after hearing the faint sound of sirens in the distance. "As I said before, your father is now working for the FBI, helping us deal with a serious and deadly crisis."

"Really?" It was obvious that the girl had also heard the shrill siren and couldn't help but look suspicious.

"Of course, and because it's a confidential matter, someone will take you to a secret location later, where you can follow the entire operation."

Before Jack finished his words, a Subaru arrived ahead of the other police cars and stopped in front of the three people.

The car door opened, and Emily and Dr. Reid from the BAU team waved at them with a smile. The driver was Hotchner, who had not been seen for a long time.

Watching his daughter leave, Mason looked back at Jack meaningfully, the tenderness on his face quickly disappeared, and even took on a bit of fierceness.

"Should I congratulate you on successfully finding my weakness, young man?"

"I have no interest in finding people's weaknesses, Mr. Mason." Jack was too lazy to explain. This was not the place to talk. He would know everything once he arrived at the joint command center.

Several more Saab cars stopped in front with unpleasant braking sounds. The director with a bandage on his arm got out of the car angrily and swore in a very unmannerly manner.

"You despicable bastard! I shouldn't have listened to Rossi. Scum like you deserves to rot slowly in a cell that never sees the light of day."

If people around the world know major American cities through Hollywood movies, then the symbols of Los Angeles are sunny beaches and flip-flops and shorts, while those of New York are hurried business people and steaming manhole covers.

As for San Francisco, it would be the streetcars that make clanking sounds as they travel on the steeply sloped roads.

In fact, there is another famous scenery here, that is the fog. Because it is located in the San Francisco Peninsula, which is covered with hills and peaks, under the influence of multiple warm currents, this place is shrouded in fog for one-third of the year.

Compared to London, which has heavy fog due to coal emissions, the fog in San Francisco is much friendlier and more beneficial to human health. It has even become a major feature that attracts tourists to the area.

Jack shifted his gaze from the fixed high-power telescope. It was already afternoon, the fog had long dissipated, and visibility was quite good.

Pier 39, where he is now, is part of Fisherman's Wharf, a famous tourist attraction in San Francisco, and is only two kilometers away from Alcatraz Island.

The warehouse area behind him had been completely blocked by the FBI, and hundreds of soldiers and agents had filled the warehouse of thousands of square meters.

Three large command vehicles resembling "Optimus Prime" trucks were parked in a row in the middle of the warehouse, with the mobile platforms on both sides unfolded to reveal the large screen inside.

Technicians set up temporary office areas on both sides of the command vehicle and installed various equipment.

"We are now dealing with another weapon of mass destruction that is second only to nuclear weapons in terms of its danger. If all 15 VX missiles were detonated, it would be enough to cause millions of casualties.

Given the particularity of this poison, even if incendiary bombs were used on a large scale, the consequences would be unpredictable. After all, the island is too close to the coastline, and the wind blows from the coast to the land all year round, just like the sea fog. "

Jack said this with a serious expression and gestured to Mason to come in. At the warehouse door behind them, Team B Captain Jason Hayes, Rossi and other FBI agents were waiting for them.

He led everyone to a sand table, which was a one-to-one miniature model of Alcatraz made using 3D printing technology.

Although the area is not large, it is a small island after all. Naturally, there cannot be only one building on the island. In addition to the main part of the prison located in the central area, which is the highest point, there is also an old lighthouse on the north side of the island that is still in operation today.

On the south side of the island is a completely abandoned factory, which can almost be called a ruin, with only the tall chimney still standing. This was once the place where the prisoners on the island worked every day.

As one of the highest-level prisons in the world, the terrain here is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The main part of the prison is a reinforced concrete exterior wall that is more than 60 centimeters thick. There are more than 300 cells inside, divided into three floors. The cell doors are all iron bars as thick as arms.

The only exit here is a large iron door weighing two tons. In addition, there is a 4-meter-high barbed wire fence surrounding this sturdy concrete fortification.

On the outer layer, which is on the high cliffs, there are 6 tall towers overlooking everything.

Alcatraz Island is located east of the Golden Gate Bridge and north of Fisherman's Wharf. It can be considered to be surrounded by an inland sea. Although it seems to be close to everything around it, all access is cut off by the vast ocean.

After looking at the terrain, Jack said that if a zombie crisis broke out in this world, this would be the best hiding place as long as the zombies couldn't swim.

"I need to know everything you know." While Jack was busy, Jason Hayes and his teammates had been studying the blueprints of underground pipelines that were who knows how many years old.

Mason affirmed the captain's plan. "Your idea is correct. As long as we understand the entire underground system of tunnels and pipes, we can go almost anywhere on the island."

"I noticed that there is a sewage pipe opening here, which is below the water level all year round. Can it be used as our best entry point?" Jason Hayes asked, holding the blueprint.

Mason found the corresponding position on the miniature model at a glance, and said with a nostalgic look, "Of course, that's where I escaped from in the first place."

As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at the director who was also craning his neck to watch all this.
