After a silence, the other side finally compromised.
"I'm President Ebam," a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, which Martin had often heard on television before.
"Your Excellency President," Martin thought for a long time before and finally decided to report the mystery man to Hua Shengdun. "Our scientific research achievements and national strategic information are being invaded."
"Did you find anything?" President Ebam asked in some doubt that he did not believe Martin's words, because no relevant personnel in the Presidential Palace have yet fed him similar information.
"You know my identity is a scientist," Martin hesitated. "Of course, I'm also a hacker."
"No matter what you have done secretly before, I promise you here that you will be forgiven for anything involving violations of the law." President Ebam misunderstood Martin's hesitation as her concern about revealing her other identity.
"In order to make you believe more in what I am going to say, I will tell you something that only you think you know. Is it convenient?" Martin knew that the President did not fully believe his words, so he had to try.
"Never mind, go ahead." President Ebam said generously that Martin's words successfully lifted his curiosity.
"When you were young, you wrote an email to your ex girlfriend Gina Weaver," Martin said.
"I wrote a lot of emails to her," Ebam smiled. Martin suddenly mentioned his ex girlfriend, which surprised him.
"I mean the only email you didn't send. This email has always been stored in your private email, with a sketch of your side face for Gina Weifu." After Martin had said this, he began to quietly wait for the response from the opposite side.
Two black lines appeared on Ebam's forehead at the other end of the phone. He turned his head to look at other members of the team sitting beside him. After everyone looked at the President, they all turned their heads to look in other directions.
"Please tell me that very important thing, Martin," Ebam began, convinced of Martin's words.
"I have found that a mysterious man has repeatedly invaded the national computer security system of Washington, and he has also invaded the server database of the Tampa Research Institute. In addition, I have also found his trail in the National Data Center of Jeppos." Martin said calmly, "I think this is very serious, and I hope you can pay attention to it, because the action of this mysterious man has gone beyond the scope of personal behavior, and I believe that there must be some monster behind him."
Martin's words shocked everyone on the other side of the phone. The members of the President's team looked at each other. Kelly, as the Secretary of Homeland Security, was even more ashamed. He did not expect such a serious mistake in his own security affairs.
"Dr. Martin, the information you feedback is very important," Ebam praised Martin's news. "I have to admit that we haven't done enough in information security. Next, I hope I can invite you to help us solve this hidden danger. I don't know whether you are willing to accept it."
"Certainly, Your Excellency," Martin readily agreed. "This opponent is very difficult, but I believe I will not lose to him."
"Very good," Ebam nodded. "I will arrange a cruise ship in Tampa Bay to pick you up in the nearest Everglades. Please give the phone to Jason. I have relevant orders to give to him."
"Major, the President is looking for you," Martin handed the phone back to Jason, then silently returned to his truck.
"Major, Warmonton owes you a military medal," Ebam affirmed Jason's contribution to protect Dr. Mario and others, "We need you to protect Dr. Mario and Dr. Martin, and take them safely to the Everglades City. Fort Myers is too far away from you, and it needs to pass through Naples City and Kapkolele and other places on the way, which will bring many uncertainties to the future of your trip. I will arrange a cruise ship anchored in Tampa Bay to meet you in Everglades City, and then go to Houston together after you meet."
"Yes, your excellency," Jason said excitedly with a nod. This is the first time he has accepted the order from the President himself. Even his superior Colonel Dirk has never had such an honor.
"This is a difficult task. The country has no other military force in Florida, and we can't give you more help. I hope you can understand," Ebam's words warmed Jason's heart. Even at this moment, if Jason needs to pay his life for the country, he will not hesitate to step forward.

"From now on, Huashengton will raise the priority of your troops' satellite lines," Ebam continued
"All right, Your Excellency," Jason took over the task, and the whole person was full of new vitality. Previously, when his contact was interrupted, he was in a confused state. He had no specific direction. The only thing he could do was to protect the safety of team members.
Now, the new order is to go to Everglade City, where the distance from the team is only half of the distance from Fort Myers before, and the middle is almost swampy plain terrain. The plan set by the President for them was very thoughtful, which perfectly avoided those dangerous urban areas.
What pleased Jason most was that he had been worried about whether he could find a ship going to sea after arriving at Fort Myers. Now all this is no longer a problem. The cruise ships in Tampa Bay will come directly to meet them.
After hanging up the phone, Jason went back to the truck, picked up Hill and kissed him hard. Then he called the rest of the team together to announce the good news they had just received from Washington.
Hill's face was still flushed. Jason's public kiss left her unprepared. However, the news Jason announced to everyone made everyone in the team seething. Everyone's faces were swept away from the haze of last night, and they hugged each other to celebrate. Some people cried with joy and sighed with joy.
Martin smiled on her face. After she fed back the information of the mysterious man to Hua Shengdun, she felt much relieved. She was alone before, so she often felt powerless. Now, the President has arranged someone to help her deal with this mysterious man. With the participation of the National Network War Department, Martin became confident. Before, she hoped that she could defeat her opponent in a one-on-one fight, but because of the gap in strength, she could not help turning to Hua Shengdun. Martin's thought is not pedantic. She is very clear that in this world of the jungle, only the winner is king.
In the presidential conference room of Washington, Secretary of Homeland Security Kelly suddenly said, "Your Excellency, I have made serious mistakes in security work. After this time, I will resign to you."
"No, Kelly, I'm afraid I won't agree with your request," Ebam said, looking into his eyes. "Each of you here is my most trusted helper, and you are the elite of the country. This country needs you, and I need you."
"Kelly, you don't have to blame yourself too much. I know very well about the situation of the" cyber warfare function constitutes the headquarters "(hereinafter referred to as the cyber warfare department). The disaster almost destroyed your department, and many cyber experts died unexpectedly." Ebam continued, "This department was once a powerful department of the country. Although it was almost destroyed in the disaster, we should still have confidence in it. You should start to rebuild this department and carry it forward again."
"But your excellency, the country has suffered a lot because of my mistakes in work, which cannot be dealt with in this way. I need to take responsibility for my mistakes." Kelly said persistently.
"Then I order you to make up for it in the next work," Ebam picked up a book and opened the list above
"All right, Mr. President," Kelly finally agreed. He held his breath and decided to operate on the mysterious man who embarrassed him.
"If there is nothing else, I will arrange the relevant security work, everyone," Kelly said to other colleagues, intending to leave early.
Back in his office, Kelly sat down at his desk. He took a deep breath and calmed down.
Kelly pressed a button on his desk, then said to a microphone beside the desk, "Let everyone from the Internet War Department come to my office.
"Call in all the new recruits," Kelly added. "Let Rick put his hands on them in advance and join us in the audition."
After the order was finished, Kelly began to conceive the planning of the cyber war department in his mind. His fingers beat rhythmically on the table, and several burnt cigars were lying in the ashtray next to him.
Kelly took the cup on the table and drank a mouthful of hot tea to moisten his throat. With the help of the waiter, the water in the cup is always hot, which is a very good treatment in the environment of doom.
There was footsteps outside the door. Kelly slightly adjusted his sitting posture to make his body look more upright. The waiter knocked at the door to inform the inside of the arrival of the summoned personnel.
"Come in," Kelly shouted to the door.
Seven or eight people filed into Kelly's desk and stood in a row. Most of them were a little stiff.
"Now you need to show your real skills, guys," Kelly glanced at the people in front of him and pointed to the sofa beside him. "Sit down."
After these people were seated, Kelly continued, "There was a guy who made our cyber war department lose face in front of the President. Next, I want you to find the venue for me."
"You go back and get ready. Next, I want you to go to Houston and meet a woman named Martin." Kelly knocked on the table with his finger. "Don't underestimate this woman. She is also a powerful hacker. I want you to cooperate with her to find out the identity of the hacker who stole our national security information, including the power behind him."
"Rick," Kelly turned his eyes to a calm young man, "among the people who play code, you are the one with the best communication skills, so you are responsible for the coordination of this action. Later someone will send you the information of Dr. Martin from Tampa Research Institute, so you can understand it first, and it will be useful after you go to Houston."
"All right, General Kelly." The Chinese man named seemed to be in his early thirties, but Kelly's arrangement showed that he was highly valued by the Secretary of Homeland Security.
In Tampa Bay, a cruise ship has just started sailing, and its destination is the Everglades City in the south.
One hundred kilometers away in the wilderness, there is also a motorcade heading for the same destination.
