Chapter 72: Guns and Arrows (I)
It was a weekend, and it was a rare sunny day in early spring.
After breakfast, Groot drove away from his official residence in the center of Geneva by tram with his bodyguard and female secretary, and the purpose of their trip was to play golf at a course on the outskirts of the city.
Because the 50-kilometre radius centered on the Earth's Provisional Government Office is a no-fly zone, almost everyone who enters and leaves the city of Geneva chooses to use ground transportation, even for members of the Earth's Provisional Parliament like Groot.
Groot and his entourage were riding in a luxurious electric car, and although his bodyguard was in the driver's seat, he didn't need to concentrate on driving, because it was equipped with the world's most advanced autonomous driving system.
The bodyguard activates the driving system and enters the destination coordinates, and then puts the driving system on autopilot, and the tram moves to the predetermined destination on its own. The bodyguard driver can then relax and watch the cityscape move outside the window.
However, his ears were not idle, and at this time he was overhearing a conversation between Groot and his female secretary behind him, and the two were talking about the mysterious alien killer who assassinated Charlie:
"The news today this morning says that the Geneva Police and Wood's men have been conducting a carpet search of the city for a whole week, but still haven't found any clues about the two superkillers," said the pretty female secretary. It is common sense to conclude that in an area and time like the city of Geneva, where the nightlife is full of people, the appearance of those two intelligent people with special appearances will immediately attract the attention of those who are keen on nightlife, but according to the news, so far, the police have not found even a single witness, Mr. Groot, what do you think is going on? ”
Groot looked at a towering snowy peak in the distance and said thoughtfully, "Maybe those two mysterious superkillers jumped out of the window of that office building after they succeeded, and then flew directly from the sky to those snowy mountains like night birds." They were alien sapients, they didn't need to eat, drink, or breathe fresh air, and if they buried themselves deep in those snowy mountains, it would be to be expected that Wood's people would search the entire city, or scan the entire Alps from the air, and they would not find any trace of them. ”
The female secretary raised her eyes and looked at the distant mountains and suddenly said, "Yes, the alien intelligent people are likely to hide in those unreachable snowy peaks in the Alps!" ”
But she soon calmed down again, "But our aerial reconnaissance plane was deployed over the Alps that day to monitor Charlie's office area, and the video information sent back by the reconnaissance plane showed that we did not detect any flying objects flying into those snowy mountains after the incident that day."
Even if the alien intelligent person can turn into a night bird in the blink of an eye, it is still two big birds flying in the air, and our reconnaissance plane is aware of everything, and it is impossible for the two big humanoid birds flying in the air not to be detected. ”
"This..."Groot was speechless, he had just forgotten for a moment the fact that the reconnaissance plane of the national military had monitored the entire assassination operation that night.
"Invisibility!" The bodyguard turned around and interjected, "Mr. Groot, I think it's because the alien sapients have stealth skills beyond our imagination, so our reconnaissance plane didn't notice their behavior of flying in the night sky in the form of two big birds. ”
The female secretary immediately retorted: "But according to Wood's report, they can see the killer with the naked eye inside the office building!" ”
The bodyguard immediately corrected his opinion: "If so, I think they quickly infiltrated some secret place under the city, such as the city's drainage system, they are intelligent people who don't need food and oxygen, and can lurk in a very harsh place for a long time." ”
Groot said disapprerovingly: "We don't need to bother to think about how they got out and where they are hiding, as long as they still exist, it's a good thing for us, as soon as Charlie died, Dr. Wang had to come forward to clean up the mess, and these two mysterious super killers have been disappearing and making it even more difficult for him to sleep." ”
The female secretary was quick-witted, and she immediately answered: "Mr. Groot, you may have underestimated his courage!" I don't think Dr. Wang is afraid of those two super-killers, he not only accepted the request of the Temporary Council of Earth, but also announced to the world that he will go to the Temporary Council of Earth in a week to take the oath of office. However, his bold actions may have angered the two super-killers even more, Mr. Groot, do you think those aliens will use this opportunity to fight back against Dr. Wang and his Space Police accomplices? ”
"That's how it should be by normal reasoning! That's what I'd like to see. Groot said without hesitation, "Dr. Wang is the biggest enemy of this group of aliens in the earth world, as long as Dr. Wang is eliminated, there is no reason for the space police to interfere in the affairs of the earth for a long time in the earth world." But the aliens have not yet established any contact with us, and we don't know exactly how they act. ”
Groot paused at this point, the female secretary and bodyguard knew his chief well and knew that he still had something to say.
Sure enough, Groot continued, "But Dr. Wang is by no means the kind of person who acts recklessly, and he has considered this danger, and he has agreed to take over Charlie's position with additional conditions, one of which is that he will lead the formation of a security force to defend the offices of the Provisional Government of Earth." Of course, I objected to this, but the Provisional Parliament is now in the hands of Huang Ping and others, who are responding to Dr. Wang's demands.
The Vice President has hinted to me that President Rapp has secretly mobilized forces to form a rapid and precise strike capability against Geneva, and if the aliens can carry out a surprise strike against Dr. Wang's alien warship, we will take the opportunity to annihilate his security forces in one fell swoop, and completely destroy him and his office area!"
Groot's last few words were filled with deep anger, thinking that he had been giving a passionate speech at the United Nations General Assembly at that time, when a Dr. Wang suddenly appeared and put himself in a miserable end of falling from heaven to hell. Not only that, Dr. Wang also performed a game of killing the aircraft carrier of Country X in front of himself and the global audience, which not only made Groot himself lose face but also President Rapp and all the people.
The tram quickly drove out of the city, and when the bodyguard was looking at the beautiful spring scenery of the revival of everything outside the window, the female secretary suddenly shouted to him: "Hey, are you wrong in positioning, I don't think this road is going to the golf course!" ”
The bodyguard hurriedly looked down at the meter in front of him and exclaimed, "Ah, what's going on?" The destination I set has completely changed! ”
As he spoke, he tapped the dial with his hand, and then his face immediately changed dramatically, and his exclamation became louder: "Mr. Groot, the destination of the driving system cannot be changed!" The autopilot system is out of order! ”
Groot said with a calm face: "Quickly change to manual, and when I go back, I will dispose of this car and buy a better one!" ”
"Yes! Be! The bodyguard hurriedly clicked on the watch face while responding, but then exclaimed: "Mr. Groot, autopilot cannot be canceled!" All manual operations are ineffective! Our car was remotely controlled by hackers! ”
It was only then that the two passengers behind the bodyguard panicked.
The female secretary said: "This kind of thing has never happened before, and the positioning system of our car is now connected to the communication and positioning facilities installed on the roof of our envoy's residence, how can it be remotely controlled by some hackers?" ”
"What if the location system of our mansion has been remotely controlled by hackers?" The bodyguard turned back and asked the female secretary.
The bodyguard's words alerted Groot, and he hurriedly said to the female secretary: "Call the residence guards immediately and ask them to immediately check the positioning device on the roof!" ”
The female secretary picked up the phone in the car, she dialed several times and said in a panic: "The phone is not working, and the communication system is also out of order!" ”
The bodyguard glanced at the intercom on his wrist, turned around and said with a frightened expression: "Mr. Groot, there is no signal on the intercom, which means that all the wireless communication inside and outside our car has been blocked!" ”
Groot was speechless in surprise.
Seeing the tram rushing towards an inexplicable destination on the highway, Groot was a little panicked, he subconsciously went to the car window, found no response, his bodyguard held the gun in his hand and said, "Mr. Groot, do you want me to break the window?" ”
Groot hurriedly said, "Don't move for now, I want to see who dares to touch me!" The guards at the residence should soon notice that we are in an unusual situation, and they will rush to the destination set by the hackers to rescue us. ”
"I thought of a possibility," the female secretary calmed down, "it's Dr. Wang who is remotely controlling us, and he is the only one who has the skill and guts to do so." ”
Groot pretended to be calm and said: "If it is him, it would be good, Your Excellency the Prime Minister has asked for such an urgent meeting with this councillor at this time, there must be something important to discuss." ”
Both the bodyguard and the female secretary let out a very unnatural laugh.
