23: Chapter 23: Lockdown of Los Santos! Washington's Water and Power Cut-off Plan!

Inside the underground control center.

The blue light from the holographic screen illuminated Chu Feng's chiseled features.

Nearly 700,000 Wealth Points.

This massive fortune lay quietly in the system panel, representing absolute confidence.

The underground black money accumulated by the Rockefeller and DuPont Family over decades had now all become capital for him to expand his army.

Chu Feng leaned back in his executive chair.

Evelyn was still kneeling between his legs.

This former high-and-mighty female president of the Morgan Consortium was now like an obedient pet.

She tilted her head slightly, resting her hands on Chu Feng's knees, her ocean-blue eyes filled with undisguised fawning.

That white silk shirt was already a mess.

The collar was wide open, revealing a large expanse of fair, snow-white skin and a deep cleavage.

The silver-grey hip-hugging skirt was stretched tight over her perky buttocks, and a pair of long, beautiful legs wrapped in black silk were slightly red from the long kneeling position.

Chu Feng reached out and roughly tousled her long, golden wavy hair.

"Well done. The money of these plutocrats is truly easy to seize."

Like a cat receiving a reward, Evelyn took the initiative to rub her cheek against Chu Feng's palm.

She had now completely recognized reality.

In front of this man, her proud business acumen and hundreds of billions in assets were worthless.

Her only value was this body and absolute obedience.

Chu Feng did not continue to indulge in the lap of luxury.

He pulled up the system mall.

Previously, he had forcibly refreshed and purchased the anti-air matrix and armored brigade.

He now needed to completely build Los Santos into a super base that could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

"System, forcibly refresh the mall again. Deduct 1,000 points."

The dark red light screen flickered. Three brand-new high-tier items appeared before his eyes.

[1. Bandit Recruitment Camp (Building Category)]

[Introduction]: Installed in the building's basement. After binding, it automatically recruits 1,000 fully armed basic-level bandits for free every day, with no upper limit on accumulation.

[Price]: 100,000 Wealth Points.

[2. Los Santos Holographic Skynet Monitoring Matrix]

[Introduction]: Instantly invades and takes over all cameras, mobile phone microphones, military radars, and civilian satellites in the Los Santos urban area and surrounding regions. Provides 360-degree, three-dimensional monitoring of the entire city.

[Price]: 150,000 Wealth Points.

[3. Genetic Potential Serum Production Line (Primary)]

[Introduction]: Automatically produces 1,000 vials of primary genetic serum every day. Can be used to strengthen the basic-level bandits under his command and improve the overall quality of the army.

[Price]: 200,000 Wealth Points.

Chu Feng glanced over, his eyes flickering slightly.

These were all top-tier strategic supplies!

The recruitment camp solved the problem of troop replenishment; getting a thousand people for free every day meant over 300,000 troops in a year!

The Skynet matrix solved the intelligence problem; Los Santos would henceforth be one-way transparent to him.

The genetic production line could slowly upgrade all 100,000 basic bandits under his command into supermen.

War is all about logistics and intelligence!

"Purchase all! Deploy immediately!"

450,000 Wealth Points were deducted instantly.

There were over 200,000 left in the account as a reserve.

The order was issued.

Deep beneath the building, a dull mechanical roar was heard once again.

Space was forcibly folded and expanded by the system's power, and the massive recruitment camp and automated serum production lines instantly took shape.

Meanwhile.

The large screen of the holographic console flashed violently.

On the screen that previously only showed a tactical map.

Hundreds of thousands of micro-monitoring screens instantly split open.

Traffic cameras at street corners, laptop webcams in civilian homes, and even the phone screens of homeless people hiding in sewers...

Everything in Los Santos was, at this moment, exposed under Chu Feng's eyes.

There was no privacy, no blind spots!

"Boss, Skynet is online. As long as the target is within the range of Los Santos, we can even see the color of their underwear clearly."

The special bandit in front of the console reported coldly.

Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction.

With this Skynet, even if the USA sent special forces to infiltrate, they would just be a bunch of clowns.

Just then.

The lights in the control hall suddenly flickered violently.

Immediately after, with a "pop," all lighting equipment went out.

The entire fifth underground level plunged into pitch-black darkness.

"Ah!"

Jessica screamed in fright, clinging tightly to Chu Feng's leather shoes.

Evelyn also shuddered, instinctively grabbing Chu Feng's suit trousers.

Less than three seconds later.

"Hum—"

A dull sound of motors starting up rang out.

The building's internal backup nuclear power supply cut in instantly.

The control center lit up again with ghostly blue light.

"What happened?"

Chu Feng frowned slightly.

"Boss, the external municipal power grid has been cut off."

The bandit's hands flew across the keyboard.

"It's not just electricity. Los Santos' three major water treatment plants have stopped supplying water."

"The valves of the cross-state natural gas pipelines have also been closed from the outside."

"In addition, all civilian communication base stations and internet trunk lines in the city have been physically severed."

The monitoring screens showed.

The entire Los Santos urban area had fallen into massive chaos.

High-rise buildings lost their lights, traffic signals paralyzed, and pile-up accidents were playing out at every intersection.

Because the internet and signals were cut off, citizens were running around the streets like headless flies with their mobile phones, panic spreading wildly in the darkness.

Chu Feng sneered.

"Cutting off water, power, and the internet."

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

"It seems those politicians in Washington don't intend to fight us in the city; they plan to turn Los Santos into a dead city and trap us to death."

Washington, The Pentagon.

Inside the strategic command center, it was brightly lit.

The President of the Eagle Nation looked at the satellite image of Los Santos, which had turned into pitch black on the big screen, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes.

"One hundred billion dollars has already been transferred. Those idiots on Wall Street are safe for now."

The President said coldly, "But the dignity of the USA cannot be lost. A strong assault would cause too many casualties and economic regression, so we will change our approach."

"The Island Isolation Plan has been fully launched."

The Secretary of Defense stood to the side and reported, "The National Guard's 100,000-strong army has established an absolute blockade line twenty kilometers outside of Los Santos. Not even a fly can get out."

"Municipal power, water, and gas have all been cut off."

"Los Santos is a super metropolis with a population of nearly ten million."

"Without water and electricity, within three days at most, the civilians in the city will kill each other fighting for food and water."

"We want to let that terrorist named Chu Feng drown in the fury of millions of rioters!"

The President took a deep breath.

This was an extremely vicious, scorched-earth strategy.

In order to eliminate Chu Feng's 200,000-strong army.

The Pentagon did not hesitate to use the millions of innocent civilians in Los Santos as expendables.

As soon as the city fell into chaos, Chu Feng's army would have to divert troops to suppress the riots.

Once the supplies in the city were exhausted and they were so hungry their legs went soft, that would be the moment for the USA army to close the net.

Los Santos, Global Financial Center.

"Master..."

Listening to the bandit's report, deep fear appeared on Evelyn's beautiful face.

She knew the methods of the USA government too well.

Cutting off water and electricity to a city of ten million people was definitely aimed at massacring the city.

Even if the building had an independent nuclear power system and stockpiles of supplies.

But what would the 200,000 troops outside eat? What would they drink?

Once millions of civilians were driven mad by hunger.

That would be a terrifying frenzy that no army could stop.

"They want to turn Los Santos into purgatory."

Evelyn's voice trembled, "We... will be trapped to death here."

"Trapped to death?"

Chu Feng grabbed Evelyn's chin.

Forcing her to look at the chaotic streets on the big screen.

"They cut off the water and food, wanting millions of civilians to consume me."

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth curled into a violent, savage grin.

"Since The Pentagon doesn't care about the lives of these civilians, why should I be polite?"

Chu Feng let go and directly connected to the tactical command network of his 200,000-strong army.

His voice was cold and cruel, like the horn of the Grim Reaper coming from the depths of hell.

"Order the entire army."

"Abandon the defense of the blocks. Ten thousand troops will set out immediately to take over all large chain supermarkets, food warehouses, pharmaceutical warehouses, and gas stations in the Los Santos urban area."

"Bring everything that can be eaten—every grain of rice, every drop of water—back to the Global Financial Center for me."

"If you encounter civilians daring to seize supplies, don't bother with warnings; shoot to kill immediately!"
