It was already past two in the morning, but five kilometers upstream of Hoover Dam, it was as bright as day. Countless lights swept around, illuminating the area so clearly that every detail was visible.
In the sky above, at least ten F-15 fighters circled in flight. Higher up, several F-22s and F-35 stealth fighters were hidden. Around the outer airspace, dozens of various types of fighter jets were circling. These jets continuously patrolled the skies, and their target was the waters below.
