An agent turned his head to look at Miles: "It seems like he's being serious?"
"...What a crazy guy." Miles sighed with a complex expression, then propped her cheek up with one hand, lost in thought.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to believe Mercer's words, but Mercer's plan to go to the Moon and the intelligence about that roaming AI called Lilith didn't seem to be lies.
So here comes the question.
If Lilith is real and indeed orchestrated this attack, why did Mercer choose to go to the Moon to deal with her?
For humanity? For home? Don't make her laugh—such naive words would never come out of a local leader's mouth.
So what is Mercer's real motive?
President Miles was completely puzzled.
But soon, as she regained communication signals, she put aside pondering this issue and immediately called the Intelligence Bureau director.
"This is Miles... Yes, I'm in Dog Town now, relatively safe... Kidnapped? Ha, sort of..."
After briefly explaining the situation, ordering the Vice President to temporarily take over New America affairs, and arranging an evacuation plan for three days later, Miles straightforwardly said:
"I need intelligence on a roaming AI called Lilith, and also, immediately contact the European Space Agency to confirm whether they have orbital weapons on the Moon."
"Yes, do you think I have time to joke with you? According to Dog Town's leader Mercer, we've been attacked by a roaming AI on the Moon that possesses orbital weapons...
What now? Do nothing, first confirm the intelligence, then arrange agents for reception readiness. Three days later, regardless of whether the Netherworld Dog people cooperate or not, we must arrange evacuation...
I know, also, I want to know why satellite communication signals are intercepted too? What on earth are you guys doing? Our security alarms didn't even go off!
... What? The satellite was hacked?"
After Miles ended the call, she found herself believing Mercer's words almost entirely.
The reason was simple—Miles originally thought Mercer had tampered with people and equipment on her side, causing communication limitations.
But after speaking with the Intelligence Bureau director, Miles realized just how exaggerated the attack she experienced was.
The enemy's network attack even covered multiple advanced satellites—including navigation satellites, communication satellites, and even the planes encountered problems because the enemy hacked into the planes directly via the navigation satellites.
At that time, New America's security department almost thought someone was going to drop a nuclear bomb on them!
And such a terrifying network attack, if orchestrated by Mercer—a small leader of Dog Town—Miles truly didn't believe it.
Being able to achieve this, it was obviously more likely to be the roaming AI.
This made Miles' expression involuntarily serious.
That roaming AI...
Could it go to such lengths for Lark?
Could it be that the Black Wall protocol they controlled had unknown secrets or destructive power?
But whether from the experimental data report or seeing the Lark in use... it was just so-so?
As Miles pondered deeply, unsure of what exactly was happening.
Mercer left the rooftop and immediately started arranging for reporters to enter Dog Town.
Thus, merely half an hour later.
When President Miles' figure appeared in the live broadcast, news segments in every country instantly added countless new headlines, dominating the internet.
[Alien Roaming AI Attacked New America President!]
[Air Force One Crashed in Dog Town, New America President Miraculously Survives! The Real Mastermind Turns Out to be Moon AI...]
And just as people were exclaiming endlessly over this explosive news.
An unmarked armored vehicle quietly drove onto the road to the airport.
