At 1 o'clock on October 4, 1999, a full 12 hours had passed since the thunderstorm in New York.

It's not that no one tried to get in early, it's just that most of the people who entered it were knocked down by the electricity that remained on the ground, and no one could explain why the current was able to stay on the surface for so long and knock people down in disregard of the hazmat suit, but it just happened.

As of 5 p.m. local time on October 3, a total of 670,000 people in New York were killed in this thunderstorm, far less than 30% of the estimated deaths. But in contrast, more than five million people in New York were seriously injured in the lightning strike, and they were unable to take care of themselves.

The survival of this part of the population is a heavy burden on the entire society of the United States. The pillars of wealth creation have fallen in large numbers, unable to continue to work, and they will continue to consume the wealth accumulated by themselves or their families to spend the rest of their lives.

And those who have little wealth are largely dependent on the U.S. government for help. The biggest headache for the US government is that they have to bail out.

If we don't, the international community will be ringing every minute, "Aren't you a humanitarian country, why don't you save the wounded?" and other countries will happily enter the United States with slogans of discounted assistance.

How can this be endured? The United States has always been the only one who has used all kinds of excuses to enter other countries and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, so how can it be forcefully inserted by others on the same grounds? Therefore, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the United States will definitely grit its teeth and rescue those who they want to abandon.

But these are secondary, the important thing is that this thunderstorm in New York was not only the whole of New York, but also the headquarters of countless international organizations, such as the United Nations headquarters.

In order to strive for the interests of the United States, countless countries that were originally afraid of the United States, or countries that were already eyeing the United States, will politely say: Since New York is abolished, then move these headquarters to me, and I think our Moscow (Beijing, Paris, London) is not bad.

Not to mention that it is an international practice to beat the water dogs, just because after New York was blown up, the equipment, cough, and property that broke out were enough for the original allies to pounce on and bite them, not to mention that China and Russia have never dealt with the United States.

However, these messy things are not what Lin Xiu needs to think about, although it is already one o'clock in the evening, Lin Xiu has no intention of resting at all, and the Xie family father and son only left after dinner. About half an hour after they left, Lin Xiu, or Jiang Lian, received a phone call.

It's a landline, but the one who names him wants to find Jiang Lian. On the other end of the phone was Jiang Lian's father, a Mongolian of mixed Mongolian and Chinese descent, who said on the phone that he knew the relationship between Jiang Lian and Lin Xiu, but surprisingly did not scold Jiang Lian, but told Jiang Lian that their family had now moved to Beijing, and asked them to go back to their new home in Beijing when they went home.

"It looks like it's the relative I've never met, probably my great-uncle or something, and I don't know the exact name. Jiang Lian explained helplessly that her father and grandfather were both of mixed Mongolian and Chinese descent, which is why she is a Mongolian and has a Han surname.

The blood of the Han side comes from his great-grandfather, a Han Chinese who lived in Mongolia during the Anti-Japanese War. As for the great-uncle in Jiang Lian's mouth, well, surnamed Jiang, it seems that he is now China's number one.

Lin Xiu immediately understood Jiang Lian's words: "I understand, let's go to Beijing, go buy some gifts first, and then, the Xie family should arrange a special plane to send us over." ”

"That's good. Jiang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, she understood that Lin Xiu was reassuring her, telling her that Lin Xiu believed that she was not sent to approach her. Jiang Lian was also concerned about chaos, and her meeting with Lin Xiu was largely Lin Xiu's initiative, not her intention.

After that, it was a simple shopping action, Jiang Yi, the little Lori, and Ling Xian bought a lot of junk food and toys together, while Lin Xiu and Jiang Lian bought some practical things for the Jiang family, such as clothes and daily necessities.

Of course, wine is also indispensable, but there is more red wine and less white wine here, so the wine is not sold, and I plan to think about it again in Beijing.

When the plane took off, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and more than two hours later, Lin Xiu and his party were still flying in the sky - Reisen and Maria Osawa were left behind to watch their homes.

"Xiu, aren't you sleepy?" Jiang Lian rubbed her eyes a little dazed, she had just taken a nap, and then was woken up by her sister's unconscious movements in her sleep, and saw Lin Xiu who was thinking with her eyes open, and asked.

"Well, I'm a little nervous, seeing my parents or something. Lin Xiu stretched out his hand and tucked the blanket for Jiang Lian, and said with some insincerity.

"What the truth is?"

"What?"

"It's a lie to see that parents are nervous, I want to know what the truth is. Jiang Lian looked at Lin Xiu's eyes and smiled slyly.

"Really? I'm thinking about how to proceed, after this thunderstorm, the whole world will be a mess. The next form is not in our control at all, although I am not afraid of these haves and nots, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about your safety. ”

"・・・・・・ really come to that time, don't have any scruples. Then, forget about me, if you can't do it, you don't have to wait to get off the plane, now we can finish. Woo, it hurts!"

Jiang Lian covered his head that was knocked by Lin Xiu, glared at Lin Xiu, then spit out his little tongue, and arched his head into Lin Xiu's arms with a hippie smile: "People don't want you to be embarrassed." ”

"Then leave with me. Lin Xiu once again put forward his own proposition, he actually didn't want Jiang Lian to grow old in this world.

Jiang Lian snuggled silently in Lin Xiu's arms, his head gently hitting Lin Xiu's chest, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.

I don't know how long Jiang Lian was silent before he spoke: "I don't want to see them." ”

"Huh, who are you not seeing?"

"Who else, your other women, there must be, women smarter than me, more powerful than me, more beautiful than me, at that time my ugly duckling will definitely be thrown aside by you. ”

Therefore, even if it is only a short life, as long as it can grasp you firmly, it will always be too far away, Jiang Lian is unwilling to think about it.

"I see. Lin Xiu hugged Jiang Lian in his arms: "In your life, I will always be with you until the day you die." However, before that, you have to accompany me to travel through thousands of rivers and mountains, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world. ”

Jiang Lian's eyes had a faint mist in his eyes, and with a longing expression on his face, he said softly: "Hmm, I feel like I'm going to be so tired, poof, haha." ”

"・・・・・・" Lin Xiu suddenly had a sense that my girlfriend was strange, and when the atmosphere was romantic, it didn't matter if he didn't have an affectionate French tongue kiss, he actually said something that ruined the atmosphere.

"This flight is about to reach the final ・・・・・・"

"It's almost here, go and do it first, don't wake up Jiang Yi, I'll carry her down later." ”

"Well, reward you, uh-huh, hee-hee. Jiang Lian smiled and kissed Lin Xiu's face, then re-seated, and did not forget to check if his sister's safety belt was fastened before fastening it.

After getting off the plane, Lin Xiu was holding Jiang Yi in one hand and a suitcase in the other, if it weren't for him and Jiang Lian looking too young, plus Jiang Yi, the three of them would definitely be considered a family of three.

It's just that Lin Xiu had to sigh that the people who arranged for them to come over had good service, and there was a special car to pick them up as soon as they got off the special plane, and the service attitude was so good that people couldn't find fault with it.

In the car, Lin Xiu was holding two girls left and right, and a young officer wearing glasses sat in the co-pilot in front. However, unlike those battle-hardened warriors, this officer is quite fair, and although he is not thin, he has absolutely nothing to do with being strong.

Along the way, the officer didn't say much, just briefly introduced himself and explained his intentions, and his simple and clear style of acting was the only military style that Lin Xiu felt in him.

After arriving at the destination, the young officer took the initiative to help carry more than half of the luggage, instead of helping Lin Xiu hug Jiang Yi or something, which made Lin Xiu very satisfied.

There was no request to hug people, which showed that the other party showed that he would not pose a threat to Lin Xiu's side, whether it was Jiang Lian or Jiang Yi, they were all under Lin Xiu's protection.

Lin Xiu had an indifferent expression all the way, the prosperity of Beijing did not let him have any fluctuations, not because he had seen the prosperity of tamping, but the faint familiarity in the city of Beijing, which made him feel like he was back at home.

Compared with Lin Xiu, Jiang Lian is a little uneasy, maybe it is because of her hometown, although this is not her hometown, but there is her family here.

"Don't be nervous, I've got you covered. Lin Xiu walked up to Jiang Lian's side, held Jiang Lian's hand and comforted him, and the luggage that he was originally carrying seemed to be hanging by something invisible, dangling behind them.

Jiang Lian nodded, took a deep breath, and after exhaling slowly, he stepped forward again.

The door of the villa had been opened, and as soon as they walked into the door, Lin Xiu and Jiang Lian saw that the living room was full of people, except for a woman who should be Jiang Lian's mother, there were almost no other women here, all the big men.
