1039 Preparations for Departure
A faint glance at the cornet, waiting for Rui to carefully hide the surprise in his heart, he sneered and said: "That's right, but what if your reasoning fails? We are all around New York now, do we really want to wait for the time when something happens, let's drag our families through the entire United States and rush to the West Coast?"
"......" can't even argue with the cornet this time, after all, without knowing the truth, no one can guarantee that the worst possibility mentioned by Hou Rui will not happen.
"My lord, if I don't take someone to Los Angeles immediately, so that the deployment of people can be more flexible. Finally, he gritted his teeth, and the honey badger proposed a compromise to Hou Rui.
However, to achieve part of the goal, Hou Rui did not agree easily, but lowered his head and thought about it;
In the middle of the two teams of Honey Badger and Cornet, Hou Rui has a relatively deeper understanding of the Honey Badger team, after all, when he was in Rome, the Honey Badger was seriously injured and underwent surgery, and Hou Rui once commanded the members of the Honey Badger team.
In addition, some time ago, in the attack of the white blood and the legion, the Honey Badger team lost a lot of personnel, although it has been replenished now, but the tacit understanding between the new personnel and the original members of the team needs time to cultivate, in case the father and mother need to clash with the little gang head-on, then Hou Rui will definitely do his best to choose a relatively weaker opponent for the father and them.
Based on the above considerations, Hou Rui could only shake his head in the face of the honey badger's initiative, and refused without saying anything: "No, let's let the cornet team go to Los Angeles, honey badger, I am more familiar with your people, and we should be able to play a greater role in New York if we stay." ”
The boss had already said so, and the honey badger and cornet were naturally left to nod silently, and then when the cornet left the seaside hut, he immediately led his team and rushed to the west coast non-stop, preparing to deal with the imaginary enemy.
And Hou Rui, after realizing his goal of skillfully dividing the troops, sent the honey badger to investigate the matter of the Saturday meeting casually, while he himself took the cat wave out for a stroll, leaving the ape man to be his otaku in the seaside cabin, and always paid attention to the movements of all parties from the Internet......
Manhattan is still the same, with a lot of traffic, crowds, men and women of different colors, busy running between high-rise buildings, showing that the heart of the most powerful country on earth is still beating strongly.
It's a pity that this prosperous scene fell into Hou Rui's eyes, but it made him feel a faint sadness, maybe in just a few days, the explosion of a nuclear bomb will completely change all this, and these ordinary people in front of them would never imagine that their country is likely to collapse and fall into a catastrophic war.
“…… The people of California will come together and walk through this disaster with great courage...... "At this moment, on a huge display on the side of the street, a news anchor is reporting on the California rock concert attack, attracting a large number of pedestrians on the street.
In the United States, there is no concept of coding, and sometimes in order to increase ratings, radio stations will even select some bloody scenes with visual impact to be screened, so in front of Hou Rui and passers-by, a video taken by a survivor with a mobile phone shows the bloody scene on the beach so clearly.
On the huge screen, the crowd fled like headless flies, and from time to time you could see someone being shot and falling, or trampling on countless people in an instant when they stumbled under their feet, no matter what kind of screams people made on the beach, and no matter whether the crowd was male or female, the panicked crowd would trample them to silence.
Next, when there was a big explosion on the beach, the person who shot the video obviously fell, and when he finally pointed the mobile phone in his hand at the huge cloud of smoke and dust generated by the explosion, Hou Rui and other bystanders clearly saw the torn corpse in mid-air, which caused an exclamation among the pedestrians.
Seeing this scene frozen, many of the women present couldn't help but cry in a low voice, and the men also had iron-blue expressions, compared with the cold words in the newspaper, this video obviously really stimulated their nerves, making everyone feel the horror and panic.
Compared with these ordinary people around him, Hou Rui's psychological endurance is undoubtedly much stronger, but when he saw a mother holding the child's corpse and screaming on the beach, he still felt very uncomfortable, so Hou Rui walked through the crowd with an expressionless cat wave, and took a little time to come to the small tattoo parlor he once patronized.
Fortunately, the small tattoo parlor did not fall down, Hou Rui walked in and saw the original boss, and even better, looking at the boss's eyes looking at Hou Rui, he obviously didn't remember Hou Rui, a former customer, but this was exactly what Hou Rui wanted.
"How can I help you?" asked the boss after seeing a customer come to the door, immediately extinguishing a cigarette in his hand.
"My tattoo, I hope you can help me fix it. Saying that, Hou Rui glanced at Mao Bo, and Mao Bo was very clever to the door of the store, and turned over the sign of the closed store without permission, which was equivalent to closing this small tattoo parlor.
"Hey, what are you doing?" saw Mao Bo's actions, and the boss asked puzzled.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for the charter. As he spoke, Hou Rui took out a few banknotes from his pocket and put them in front of the boss.
"Charter, it costs 100 yuan an hour. Glancing at the banknotes slightly, the cunning boss sat up instantly, but Hou Rui didn't have the heart to bother with him, so he simply threw the small stack of banknotes in his hand to him.
In this way, probably for the sake of money, the boss reluctantly recognized Mao Bo's behavior, grabbed the banknote and put it in his pocket, and then shook his head at Hou Ruiyi, signaling him to sit down first.
Without saying a word, Hou Rui quickly began to undress, and when he revealed the Mayan god-king tattoo on his body, the boss's face suddenly appeared with a sudden expression of realization, for them tattoo technicians, looking at their own works is far more memorable than looking at people's faces: "Oh, it turned out to be this pattern, I remembered it, hahaha, I didn't expect you to come again." ”
"Just help me cover up the new scars, and you can take care of the details yourself!" Hou Rui said and lay directly on the tattoo chair, and the boss didn't talk nonsense anymore, and began to prepare paints and instruments.
"Buzz ......" After a while, the small tattoo parlor was busy, and the boss used the same color block to cover several new wounds on Hou Rui's back and arms, making it cleverly become part of the Mayan god-king pattern, and it was no longer as eye-catching as the original.
About 40 minutes later, the boss finally finished his repair work, and Hou Rui got up, stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at it, he was still quite satisfied, but who knew that Hou Rui was getting dressed and about to leave the shop, Mao Bo She actually came to be interested, and greeted Rui tentatively: "I...... Can you get a pattern too?"
“…… It doesn't matter, if you like it. ”
"Really?"
"Well, I'll just treat you. Saying that, Hou Rui nodded again, and then the boss handed Mao Bo a tablet computer, which stored tens of thousands of pictures on it, which could be used by Mao Bo to choose as much as he wanted.
After a while, after Mao Bo chose a solemn four-faced Buddha pattern, the boss immediately got busy on Mao Bo's snow-white back, and Hou Rui took this opportunity to walk to the door of the store, while watching the pedestrians outside, while taking out his old-fashioned mobile phone with natural movements, and began to send messages to his father.
Briefly informed the Cornet team of the departure from New York, and then Hou Rui also asked about the timing of the assassination of the president, and only after greeting Rui did he know that his mother had decided to compress the remaining week by half, in other words, within 24 hours, the second smoke bomb would be released, and within 48 hours, the final attack on Fort Knox would be launched!
Since it was imminent, Hou Tianming simply urged Hou Rui again to let him leave the United States as soon as possible, even if he really couldn't leave, then he had to stay away from Kentucky as much as possible, after all, compared with guns, invisible nuclear radiation is more fearful and worrying.
In order to make Hou Rui a reasonable excuse to leave, Hou Tianming even suggested that he should create some trouble in a small South American country, and then let Hou Rui stay away from the nuclear explosion justifiably, but Hou Rui said very confidently that he would be able to come up with a way by himself and did not need his father to interfere, but Hou Tianming, who was helpless, had to agree with Hou Rui's proposition after repeated instructions.
Coming and going, waiting for Rui After he finished the text message conversation with his father, he thought about it slightly, and then simply deducted the mobile phone battery, took out the mobile phone card, broke it into a few small pieces, and made up his mind that before the nuclear explosion, he would no longer contact his parents and parents, anyway, Hou Rui now has no control over the situation, he just wants to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
After holding this idea, Hou Rui's heart calmed down, and then he waited for Mao Bo very patiently for more than five hours, until it was dark, and the boss completed a pair of 8X12 inch size four-faced Buddha pattern, and finally when the boss applied anti-inflammatory ointment to Mao Bo's back, and carefully pasted a layer of plastic wrap, Hou Rui left the small tattoo parlor after making up the cost.
