"You're saying that the Shadow Force is just a front to hide from the world?" Chu Tianjiang asked.

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said: "The shadow force project is based on the Doomsday Force, and most of the key skills come from the Doomsday Force project, so the Yankees will not invest too much in scientific research funds on the shadow force, and even the control unit that is difficult to develop will be borne by Japan." In addition, the manufacturing process of the Shadow Warrior system is the same as that of the Doomsday Warrior system, and the production equipment of the Doom Warrior system can be fully utilized, and the investment of the Planetary Defense Council in the Doom Warrior project is mainly used to solve production problems. With this convenience, the Yankees will definitely not invest too much in the shadow troops, and the production cost of the shadow warrior system will not be high. ”

"Even by the standards of the Doomsday Force, a trillion dollars is more than enough." Luo Jinyong added.

"Obviously, the Yankees used the shadow force project as a cover to allocate a lot of scientific research funds, and most of these funds were used for other scientific research projects."

"To figure this out, we're going to have to go to New York." Zhang Xiaogang let out a long breath and said, "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." We need to get to New York as soon as possible. Only by figuring out the hole cards held by the Yankees can we know what the Yankees want to do. ”

"In that case, we'll leave tomorrow."

Zhang Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and said: "The entourage has not yet been determined, and it has to be strictly reviewed, and it has to be ......."

"Lao Zhang, when did you become such a mother-in-law?" Chu Tianjiang smiled, and finally caught the opportunity to say a few words about Zhang Xiaogang. "Other scientists can then arrange, and we will only bring a few scientists and a few dozen guards, and then bring nuclear warheads. Could it be that the Yankees still dare to take us? Besides, if we actively cooperate, we can also set a good example for other countries. ”

"Professor?" Of course, Zhang Xiaogang is not afraid of anything, all he is worried about is Luo Jinyong.

"That's okay, the scientific research work on our side can't be resumed in the short term, and it's a waste of time to stay." Luo Jinyong glanced at Gao Mingming and said, "Xiao Gao, you arrange your work, explain everything else, and go to New York with us tomorrow." ”

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

"Professor, who else?" Zhang Xiaogang asked a question so that he could do a background check on the accompanying scientists in time.

"I'll tell you in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go to Lao Yuan and ask him to help us arrange a plane to the United States." Zhang Xiaogang called Luo Jinyong and Chu Tianjiang, walked to the door, and said, "Don't tell anyone else for the time being, let's go to Mr. Yang at night." After the arrangements are made, the US authorities will be notified so as not to cause any trouble. ”

After the arrangement, the three of them went their separate ways to prepare.

Chu Tianjiang had nothing to prepare. Thinking that he would go to New York tomorrow, Chu Tianjiang proposed to go to a picnic, and Xiao Fangfang and Wu Guoxiong readily agreed.

On this day, all three had a great time.

Xiao Fangfang knew that Chu Tianjiang was about to leave them, but with Wu Guoxiong present, it was not easy for her to ask, and Chu Tianjiang would not take the initiative to say it.

Before sunset, Chu Tianjiang took the two back to the camp.

After sending Xiao Fangfang and Wu Guoxiong to the restaurant for dinner, Chu Tianjiang went to find Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong and went to Yang Fanglie's headquarters together.

"Is it necessary to rush for a moment?"

"Mr. Yang, it's not too late to do this. Although it seems that our advantage is extremely obvious now, even Professor Luo does not know how much time it will take to obtain the advanced technology of the extraterrestrial civilization from Chu Tianjiang. In the short term, the United States still has a technological advantage. ”

Yang Fanglie thought for a while and said, "The key is, you arrived in New York ahead of schedule, is there any guarantee of safety?" ”

"With a nuclear warhead, there should be no problem."

"If you insist, I don't object to it."

"If you can, let Sergeyev send someone over as well, and ask Stark to reorganize the scientific advisory board as soon as possible and allow American scientists to be stationed on Long Island."

Yang Fanglie nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Also, before we get to the U.S., make it clear to Stark."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Yang Fanglie glanced at his watch and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you have already looked for Yuan Dezhi." ”

Zhang Xiaogang laughed, he did find Yuan Dezhi to make arrangements first.

"Let Xiao Wei take you to the airport. The available helicopters have been sent out of the city and can only be taken by car, so you should leave early to avoid delays on the way. ”

"No matter how much time we are in a hurry, let's fill our bellies first."

Yang Fanglie also laughed and said, "Xiao Zhang, I handed over Chu Tianjiang and Luo Jinyong to you. If they're missing a hair, I'll ask you. ”

"Mr. Yang, rest assured, I won't let them lose half a hair."

After saying goodbye, the three went to the restaurant.

Xiao Fangfang seemed to have a premonition, and asked the agent sent by Yuan Dezhi to take Wu Guoxiong out of the hall to play, and waited for Chu Tianjiang in the restaurant alone.

Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong were very interesting and didn't bother the two.

Alone with Xiao Fangfang, Chu Tianjiang really didn't know what to say, and felt that it was not appropriate to say anything.

"You're leaving tonight?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "What about Guoxiong?" ”

"I'm going to play, he said he wants a low-light night vision device, let me tell you."

"This kid is asking more and more." Chu Tianjiang smiled, looking a little embarrassed. In the face of other women, Chu Tianjiang can sway freely, even in front of Jacqueline, he will not be so stubborn, but in the face of Xiao Fangfang, Chu Tianjiang always feels a little guilty.

"I'll take care of Kunio, you have to be careful."

Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh and said, "Lao Zhang has already arranged for several agents to take care of you, and you should also take care of yourself during my absence." ”

"Have you forgotten what I do?" Xiao Fangfang smiled and said, "I have always taken care of others. ”

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said, "When I come back, I'll ......"

"Don't say it, I understand." Xiao Fangfang guessed what Chu Tianjiang wanted to say. "It's good that you can come back safely, not just for Kunio."

Chu Tianjiang nodded, knowing that whatever he said was redundant.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaogang came over and called Chu Tianjiang away. Luo Jinyong had already called the scientific researchers to New York, and Wei Longzheng had prepared three buses and ten large trucks, which not only transported everyone's luggage and necessary scientific research equipment, but also brought a large amount of food and drinking water.

When Yuan Dezhi sent the guards, the convoy set off for the airport, which was more than 100 kilometers away.

Along the way, the disasters caused by the catastrophe are vividly visible. Most of the bridges have collapsed, and vehicles can only pass on the mechanical bridges erected by the engineering troops. The road surface is also full of potholes, and there are geological disasters such as collapses in some sections, which can only be used for one-way traffic. The most shocking thing is the camps that can be seen everywhere along the way. Although the army maintained order and provided food and other necessities for the evacuated people, many people were still standing on the roadside, and many more were walking aimlessly along the road.

How long will this continue? Chu Tianjiang doesn't know the Dao, and I'm afraid no one knows the Dao.

Although the government has announced that it will end the state of military control and arrange for evacuees to return to their homes after the catastrophe has passed, no one knows when the catastrophe will end. Even after the catastrophe is over, people may not be able to return home.

At this time, even well-disciplined soldiers are as blind as the population.

What the future holds, no one knows.

"I want to open it." Zhang Xiaogang patted Chu Tianjiang's shoulder.

Chu Tianjiang turned around and saw that Zhang Xiaogang had already guessed his thoughts. Sometimes, Chu Tianjiang even suspected that Zhang Xiaogang had telepathic ability.

"Actually, people are very similar to ants."

"Man is not an ant."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "People are social animals, and so are ants. When an anthill is invaded, each ant fights to the death. In order to defend our planet, are we different? It was a war, and one of the most tragic in the history of mankind. You are a soldier, and you should understand that we are fighting for the ultimate victory, and no matter who you are, it is impossible to guarantee that everyone will live to the moment when the war ends. We can't save everyone, but what we're doing is saving everyone. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "Lao Zhang, when did you become a philosopher again?" ”

"I'm not a philosopher, I just want you to be happy." Zhang Xiaogang took out a cigarette and lit it for Chu Tianjiang first, and then lit it for himself. "When you get to New York, you're bound to have a lot of trouble, and we have to travel lightly, without worries, without worry. You have to know that these are weaknesses, and a true warrior cannot have weaknesses. If you fail to overcome these weaknesses and are taken advantage of by the enemy, sentimentality will not only not help others, but will harm them. Yesterday we talked so much, you should know that the future earth will not be able to support 8 billion people, and China will have 1.4 billion. If you want to do something for your fellow citizens, let go of distractions and relax. I'm not asking you to become hard-hearted, and you can't be called a human without feelings. I just want you to know what to do now and what you can do. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, and after Zhang Xiaogang said this, he also relaxed.

Although Zhang Xiaogang sometimes speaks very unemotionally, and can even be said to be bitter, but in major matters, he is more objective and calm than anyone else, without the slightest distraction. Probably because of this, Zhang Xiaogang also won the friendship and trust of Chu Tianjiang and Luo Jinyong.

When I arrived at the airport, it was already the second half of the night.

The convoy traveled for more than six hours for more than 100 kilometers.

Before boarding, Yuan Dezhi sent Chu Tianjiang's identity documents. His public identity is Yan Wenbin, a security guard, who is specifically responsible for Luo Jinyong's security work. According to Yuan Dezhi's introduction, Yan Wenbin was originally a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but he was accidentally killed in a secret operation that Yuan Dezhi was personally responsible for three years ago. The other identity information was explained in detail by Zhang Xiaogang during the flight, mainly to let Chu Tianjiang dress up as Yan Wenbin.

With the arrangements in place, everyone boarded the A-340-400 airliner.
