On the one hand, all the mobile phones had no signal, which proved that the problem was not with the communicator they developed, but a malfunction caused by the external environment. On the other hand, the lack of signal at the headquarters was definitely a very bad and serious matter. They had to work overtime to solve this problem of no signal.

Therefore, the technical department must be held responsible for this no matter what. This is a responsibility they cannot escape, and it is also a heavy responsibility they shoulder. Baip, Minister Tim, the secretary, the assistant, etc. all checked the equipment they carried with them, and without exception, all of them had no signal.

These devices can be turned on normally, and the functions without Internet connection can be used normally, but that's all. The various social software that Americans cannot live without can no longer be logged in.

"What is going on? How could the headquarters suddenly lose signal? Is this a premeditated hacker attack?" Minister Tim asked anxiously.

President Baipu also frowned and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, let all departments find out the reason immediately! This has never happened in the headquarters. This is too abnormal. Could it be some action by Kyushu?"

"That's not right," Minister Tim shook his head and said doubtfully, "It's normal for those remote places in the suburbs to have no signal, but how could there be no signal at the headquarters? There is a signal tower not far away, and this should be the place with the strongest signal. If there is no signal at the headquarters, how can there be signal in other places?"

The two were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and immediately ordered the personnel on site to investigate. However, before the technical department and others could take any action, the director of the security department led other ministers to rush to Baipu's office.

"Lord Baipu, something terrible has happened!" The head of the security department reported breathlessly, "All network signals in the United States have disappeared. It's a mess outside. All police officers have gone out to maintain order, but we don't have enough manpower."

That's right, all the local government personnel who could be mobilized were mobilized, out in full force, without reservation. Even enthusiastic people voluntarily joined the team, but even so, the manpower was still far from enough.

Every state seemed to have returned to its previous state of chaos, with people doing whatever they wanted and treating today as the last carnival before the end of the world. Under normal circumstances, the network would never collapse or lose signal. Therefore, many religious people felt that the end of the world had arrived.

The rumor spread quickly, sweeping across every corner of the United States like wildfire. Since it is the end of the world, do we still need to abide by any morals or laws? Go away! What they need is to indulge themselves and enjoy the last moments of their lives!
As a result, people did all the things they usually only dared to think about but not do, which further exacerbated the chaos in society. For example, a person with a strange way of thinking could not bear to see his lovely house destroyed, so he simply burned it down.

However, the fire grew more and more intense, and not only his own house, but the houses on the entire street were engulfed in flames.

The firefighters rushed over frantically, but it was too late. This was hell on earth.

Blood, violence and crime have exposed all the dark sides of the United States, which are fierce and completely out of control.

"What? How is this possible? The United States has the fastest Internet speed in the world! Even if Kyushu has no signal, we can't be without signal! What is going on?" President Baip jumped up from his chair, ran to the Minister of Security, grabbed his collar with his hands, and shook him desperately.

Not only him, but everyone else couldn't keep calm either. Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, as if they had just heard the biggest joke of their lives. How could it be possible? The entire United States had no signal? Doesn't this mean that the Earth is going to be destroyed?

However, they knew in their hearts that the Minister of Security would never joke about such things. He was responsible for national security and would never speak in such a tone unless the situation was extremely dire.

His expression and tone just now gave people a feeling that the sky was about to fall and the world was about to end. This was unprecedented.

"We still don't know what happened," the head of the security department explained helplessly, "just an hour ago, all network signals suddenly disappeared, and the equipment is completely unusable."

"I know this sounds crazy and unbelievable," he continued. "If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe it. This is the 22nd century! But it just happened so suddenly!"

"All departments at the headquarters have received the news. Right now, the situation outside is extremely chaotic. Except for us ministers, everyone else has been sent out to maintain order."

"Just now, a group of unruly people tried to rush to the headquarters office building," the head of the security department added. "Fortunately, they were stopped in time by the armed forces. It was really close to breaking through! Those people rushed forward like crazy, fearless, and completely crazy."

“It seems that there is a rumor out there that today is the end of the world,” he continued. “First, all network signals will disappear, and then various disasters will occur, and everyone will die.”

As he spoke, the Minister of Security showed an extremely sarcastic expression. No signal does sound crazy, but it does not mean the end of the world! Those crazy people really have no brains. Many people are incited by rumors and do all kinds of extreme behaviors regardless of the danger to their lives.

After listening to the complaints of the Minister of Security, everyone fell silent. They could imagine how chaotic the world would be if the Internet signal was lost and social order collapsed in a short period of time.

You can never have too high expectations of ordinary people. At times like this, they are eager to do all kinds of things that they can't do at other times: burning, killing, looting... these are all predictable.

The transportation, medical, and law enforcement departments are probably all overwhelmed right now. Even if they have a lot of sense of responsibility, they are still unable to do anything.

Minister Tim and President Baip looked at each other, and they both saw the panic and fear in each other's eyes.

It's all over now!

Forget about the Ranger Squad, the leaders at headquarters are all doomed!
"Wait," Minister Tim suddenly muttered to himself, "Was the communication interrupted an hour ago? It seems that the communicator is not broken, but the United States has lost the communication signal..."

They were just worried about not being able to contact the Kyushu army, and now they were told that the network signal was gone!

This is simply adding insult to injury! This is definitely an even more severe blow.

No matter how important the Rangers are to the United States, they are just an elite team. But network signals are a big deal for everyone! The two levels are completely different.

President Baip was indifferent. He had no intention of caring about the Ranger Team. The most important thing at the moment was to solve the problem of network signal.

"Stop talking," he said in a deep voice, "The communication has ended. Who has time to care about the things in that sea area now? It's not that the headquarters is unkind, but at this moment, there is such a big mess. The Ranger Squad can only wish for the best."

"Go investigate the network signal problem first!" he ordered loudly, "Everyone who stays at the headquarters, go! I don't care what method you use, you must find out within today! Otherwise, everyone here - including me - will have a hard time! We will all be doomed! Do you understand?"

President Baip slammed his fist on the table, making a loud bang.

This sound seemed to knock on everyone's heart, deafening. Even if he didn't say it, others knew the seriousness of the matter.

They can be said to be the core figures of the US headquarters.

If something goes wrong, someone must be held accountable for it - there is no doubt about that.

It can be seen from their expressions that everyone is so panicked that they don’t know what to do.

Especially since most of the department heads are not in the network field. It would be feasible to ask the technical department and the security department to investigate, but how could these department heads know how to do it?

In this situation, it would be better to let them go to the streets to maintain order - of course, they would never go if they were really asked to do so.

After all, bullets don't have eyes! No one knows if you will be shot by a bullet falling from the sky or crushed to death by a giant object if you go out at this time.

In comparison, the headquarters is relatively safe. In addition to the police officers sent out, there are also armed personnel from several troops surrounding the headquarters.

They took out the most advanced weapons and equipment and treated the crazy crowds outside with caution.

The things they were holding were not simple just from their appearance. They even used weapons like small bombs!

Even if that thing was just left there without moving, it still frightened a lot of people.

If there is someone so foolish as to break in, he will be shot into a sieve by countless bullets within a few seconds - this is not an exaggeration at all!

At the beginning, many people nearby were marching and protesting, and they gathered outside the headquarters building, trying to break in and make trouble! However, the damage of ordinary people's hunting rifles or swords is limited! Compared with the army with real guns and ammunition and top-notch weapons and equipment, they are not as good as several levels!
Many people saw a group of extremely strong soldiers guarding the headquarters building! Their cold and ruthless eyes swept over the crowd that tried to surround them; their hands were on their weapons! There was no doubt that if anyone showed any irregular behavior, they would be eliminated in an instant!
No one will talk to you about humanitarianism at this time! They have plenty of ways to explain their actions! They also have the power to shoot anyone who attempts to attack the headquarters!
Under the absolute armed suppression, many people who were marching took detours and left, or kept a distance from the headquarters! They found that if they were at a certain safe distance, they would not be attacked no matter how much they shouted!

Everyone has learned to be smart! No one wants to step forward and be a scapegoat! Besides, they are not from the death squad! They are not wearing any so-called bulletproof vests! If they really go out, they will definitely die without leaving any trace!

Although everyone was crazy, no one wanted to die! So, they all stood far away and cursed President Baip crazily... The armed forces were only responsible for maintaining the security of the headquarters! They naturally would not deal with such verbal attacks! Therefore, they could only pretend not to hear it! Or even if they heard it, they did not react at all...

Baipu and his companions looked out through the glass window, and they were shocked. The sound insulation of the headquarters building was so good that they didn't realize that there were already crowds of people outside.

Apart from the heavily armed troops, the entire street was packed with frenzied people, who stared at the headquarters building, held up signs, and cursed at Baip and others.

Minister Baip and Minister Tim were the first to be affected, but they were not the only ones who suffered. The names of all the leaders at the headquarters were listed in prominent positions on those signs.

Seeing this scene, everyone was so frightened that their legs went weak, their faces were pale with fear, and some people even collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Since they came to power, they had never encountered such a chaotic situation. How could the few police officers control the situation? What's worse, some people in police uniforms also followed the crazy crowd and did whatever they wanted.

Unable to capture the headquarters, the group vented their anger on the opposite street, brandishing sticks and other weapons, smashing and looting shops.

This scene was exactly like the one in the movie before the end of the world. It was not exaggerated at all, and even worse than that. Blood, that dazzling red liquid, was everywhere. After being stained with this crazy color, people became even more passionate and ruthless, and sometimes even beat their own people.

Groups of people were fighting each other, and when the fight was intense, they didn't care who was on the other side. They just went up and fought, no matter what, they had to knock down the person in front of them.

"Ridiculous, this is really ridiculous! This is simply the behavior of savages!" Minister Tim shouted angrily, "Where is the Minister of Armed Forces? Quickly control all of them!"

Originally, the Minister of Security only vaguely mentioned some possible chaotic scenes, but Minister Tim never expected that the reality would be so exaggerated. Just because there was no network signal, did the United States completely turn into hell?
As a person who has received elite education since childhood and is old, he really can't stand this kind of scene. This has already reached the door of the headquarters, how can they stay calm?
Baipu was also extremely anxious. He couldn't contact the outside world at all and had no idea about the situation in other states. (End of this chapter)
