Chapter 10: The Long Island Crisis
The next morning, it was not as expected, the wind was beautiful, the sun was shining, and when the three of them got up, they could see the dark clouds outside the window, and it was as dark as ink.
After a few people had breakfast, they saw a light rain in the sky, and then quickly turned into a downpour, Wang Zhe stood at the door, and saw a man in a U.S. Marine uniform standing at the door of the apartment, holding a traffic light.
Soon, military vehicles and armored vehicles with heavy weapons sped along the coastal road in front of the door, and from time to time shouts could be heard from outside the window.
"Looks like something happened." Wang Zhe muttered to himself.
When he turned around, he saw Qi Xiao putting a long sword on the dining table, and putting a brand-new poncho that had not been opened directly on his body.
"You're going out?" Wang Zhe asked in surprise.
"Well, I think those guys are here again." Qi Xiao explained while wearing a poncho.
"But didn't you just come here yesterday? Maybe they're trying to reinforce the seawall. Wang Zhe was taken aback, but deep down in his heart, he still tried to think on the bright side.
"If it was just to reinforce the seawall, they wouldn't be so nervous. There is no need to bring so many 'Altered Hawks' and 'Stingers' (both of which are surface-to-air missiles). Have you ever heard that the Marines have a responsibility to reinforce the seawall? ”
Qi Xiao put on a long poncho and took a long sword: "One of you guards your home, I guess those guys may also go ashore in Brooklyn this time." ”
"The other one, who's going with me?" Qi Xiao looked at the two lazy tenants and asked with raised eyebrows.
"We?" Wang Zhe and Zhao Qianyu glanced at each other, "Why do we have to go?" ”
"I don't know the way." Qi Xiao said lightly, but there was a hint of schadenfreude at the corner of his mouth, "This is also your job." ”
"I think it's a punishment for bargaining with us and not doing housework." Wang Zhe said.
"No, I think it's better for a big man like me to go out with someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I don't want to have any more trouble."
"Is there any danger if I go?" Zhao Qianyu hesitated slightly, but his eyes flashed with excitement and asked.
"Based on past experience, those things are meant to give experience points, and no one will be in danger if I am here." Qi Xiao played the package ticket.
"Shall I go over and have a look? I just want to see superhero battles with my own eyes, which is a lot more exciting than blockbuster movies. Zhao Qianyu said to Wang Zhe.
Wang Zhe took the newspaper, first looked at Zhao Qianyu in puzzlement, and then he shook his head: "You don't have to explain to me, I don't want to go at all." ”
"Okay, bring a raincoat if you want to go, I don't think it's that dangerous." Qi Xiao walked to the door and turned around and said.
Zhao Qianyu immediately hurried upstairs and began to look for his raincoat.
Qi Xiao and Zhao Qianyu walked out of the house and looked up at the cloudy sky, where from time to time thick lightning pierced the sky, as if to tear the sky; The wind howled, the rain poured down, and the deafening thunder made it almost necessary to roar loudly to speak face to face.
Qi Xiao approached the marine at the door with difficulty in the rain, and the two of them communicated almost face to face.
"Hey!" Qi Xiao greeted loudly in the pouring rain.
"What's the matter?" The Marine on the other side replied vigilantly.
"What are you doing?"
"It's a military secret, boy."
"Is it still a secret if the sea monster lands in a while?"
"A secret is a secret." The GI shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I guess you don't know much as the road coordinator, can you tell me where they went?" Qi Xiao asked, pointing in the direction where the military vehicle was leaving.
"What are you going to do? Who are you? The soldier looked at Qi Xiao vigilantly, picked up the flashlight and shook it on Qi Xiao's face.
"We ......" Qi Xiao was about to explain, but was stopped by Zhao Qianyu.
"We are transcendental!" Zhao Qianyu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the sword in Qi Xiao's hand, and pulled the scabbard open with a "Zheng" sound, revealing a cold section of the sword body. Said solemnly.
"Hehe, it seems that I know who you are, I watched your battle on Liberty Island." The soldier looked at the long sword in Zhao Qianyu's hand, and suddenly grinned, he looked at Qi Xiao and nodded: "It is said that they will land in the area of Long Island." ”
"If possible, I hope you can help." The soldier solemnly gave a military salute to Qi Xiao. "Okay. Thank you. Qi Xiao nodded, turned to leave, he took a few steps, and then turned around and said, "Is the car already over?" ”
"I don't know, I'm still waiting for orders." The soldier raised his hand and gestured to the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Oh, if you're done, you can go in and have a cup of hot milk and have a good rest before you go." Qi Xiao pointed to his room, "Tell the person in the house that I asked you to come, and then ask him to wash you a peach." ”
There was a hint of emotion in the soldier's eyes: "It seems that you are not the same as those critics on TV, those people have mistaken you." ”
"Then you can help me say a few more kind words." Qi Xiao smiled and turned to leave.
The two of them were one foot deep and one foot shallow, trudging hard in the pouring rain.
Zhao Qianyu asked, "How do we get over?" ”
"Looks like I should have taken your advice and bought a car sooner." Qi Xiao complained.
"It's raining too much, and you can't fly without a taxi?" Zhao Qianyu asked.
"It's a military secret."
"Did we really just end up on Long Island? Aren't you a superhero? Have you ever seen a superhero walking in the rain? Zhao Qianyu was almost collapsed by the continuous heavy rain, and shouted loudly at Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao thought for a while and said calmly: "It's really not, let's take the subway." ”
When the group walked out of the subway and approached the coast of Long Island, the rain had already lightened, and the nearby residents were long gone, only the military were on guard at the coast.
With the help of a searchlight, you can see the figures of countless giant beasts looming in the clouds in the distant sky.
"What's that ray-like thing?" With a hint of fear in his eyes, Zhao Qianyu hid behind Qi Xiao with a slight cower and asked.
"Tide Catcher," Qi Xiao looked at the giant beast slowly flying in the sky, and replied calmly, "I was not born yet, and this kind of monster came out of the star gate. ”
He took off his hood to protect him from the rain, took a breath in the cold air, and turned his head to look to both sides: "This is Long Island, right?" ”
"yes, I've been here many times before, what are you looking for?" Zhao Qianyu was a little puzzled.
"Old blind."
"What's that?" Zhao Qianyu asked curiously.
"It's trouble to talk to you people who are learning well, and you don't even know it." Qi Xiao snorted.
While the two were talking, suddenly a deafening roar was heard in the distance, and a tall figure came speeding towards him on a motorcycle.
Rhaegar Norris took off his helmet and saw Qi Xiao and Zhao Qianyu standing on the empty road, nodded at the two, and then turned his gaze to the giant beast in the sky.
Zhao Qianyu stared at Rhaegar Norris, watching him get off the motorcycle in a chic manner, and his eyes flashed with a light: "It's so manly......"
Qi Xiao looked at the brainless Zhao Qianyu with a little disgust: "Does he have a strange smell?" That...... Come here, let's ...... Stand far away. ”
"Fuck off, I mean, when are you going to buy a motorcycle and go out and have fun?" Zhao Qianyu punched Qi Xiao with a powder fist.
"I don't have any self-destructive tendencies at the moment."
The two of them were arguing, and before they could finish their words, they saw Rhegar Norris stop his motorcycle and strode towards them.
"Hey, Rhaeggar, here?" Qi Xiao was familiar with himself and took the lead in greeting Rhaegara.
"Hmm......" Rhaegar Norris nodded, looking at Qi Xiao with some deep meaning: "What, is Chinese finally going to show up and start saving the world?" ”
"Oh, I just came over to see what was going on." Qi Xiao said lightly.
"The situation ......," Rhaegar Norris turned his head to look at the black beast in the sky, overwhelming and sweeping in, "It seems that the situation is very bad. ”
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Qi Xiao with some amusement: "You go first?" ”
"Forget it, this is your territory. Or you first. Qi Xiao looked at the other side of the sea with great interest, as if he was a sightseer who didn't think much of a big deal to see the excitement. Hehe...... You can only deal with one at a time? The corners of Rhaegar Norris's mouth showed a hint of disdain, and he was about to say a few sarcastic words, when the appearance of a person suddenly interrupted his speech.
"Gentlemen!" A tall, thin, handsome young man suddenly appeared in front of them without warning, he was suspended high in the air, real and illusory, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
Qi Xiao looked over, and this person looked at least more than 1.90 meters. He wears a simple and fashionable long trench coat, lined with a straight back, a pair of long legs, and shiny leather shoes with thin soles and pointed toes, outlining thin and perfect lines, looking extremely tall and elegant.
The bridge of his face and nose, his gray-green eyes are deep and melancholy, and he holds an ivory-white delicate cane in his hand, which makes him exude an innate classical literary atmosphere, like a British gentleman with a melancholy aristocratic temperament.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly froze, as if a ghost was floating by, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man who suddenly flashed out of the void.
"My appearance is only 6,000, but this person has more than 10,000, this person should not be underestimated." Qi Xiao held the hilt of his sword in his hand and thought warily.
"This handsome man is forcing ......" There was a comparison, and Zhao Qianyu immediately left Rhaegar Norris behind, staring at the new young man with starry eyes.
"Gentlemen......" The young man looked at several pairs of bright eyes staring at him, and his pale cheeks were embarrassed to flush slightly, "My name is Ian Yugais, and I am from London, England. ”
Despite the rain, his voice reached the ears of both of them, his voice was clear and bright, full of dramatic tension, and his accent was very beautiful.
"Oh, you're the English magician?" Rhaegar Norris reacted.
"Yes, Mr. Norris, forgive me for not being able to explain in more detail to both of you. It's just that there are more wild beasts and movers along the shores of the Long Island Strait now, and if you have time to do it here, I hope you can help out, I would appreciate it. ”
With a wave of his hand, the air flashed with dots of blue light, gradually converging into the appearance of a map of New York, and the flickering red points of light were gradually approaching the shore from all directions.
"There are so many of them this time?" Rhaegar Norris couldn't help but frown.
"Can you find us with magic?" Qi Xiao suddenly discovered a fact keenly, "Then have you found that Frenchman?" ”
The magician's eyes froze slightly, as if thinking about something, then he looked at the two of them and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't find him." ”
"Okay, we'll go when we're done." Rhaega replied loudly.
"Eagerly awaited." Ian Yugis bowed slightly, and his figure turned into a light blue arc of light, and disappeared for a moment.
"Anyway, this guy can fly?" Qi Xiao said in surprise.
"It seems like it's just a stereo projection of him, and Britain sent a scientist?" Rhaegar Norris shook his head, "I don't believe in magic, have you ever touched anything magic?" ”
