Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Regular Meeting Before Departure
The benefits of the modern financial industry are reflected here, as long as you are willing to spend money, the money laundering channel can be completely legal. hired a few lawyers + bankers, and in less than a month, Shen Chao and they washed almost 100 million US dollars. Although Shen Chao doesn't quite understand how these professionals do it, he has seen a lot of similar incidents, unless it is extremely unlucky, otherwise this kind of money laundering method will not be a problem.
The two of them slowly drove all the way back to the base. When they arrived, Custer was cooking lunch. The two unceremoniously joined in. Custer was still a little angry, and the two of them didn't heed his warning, and rushed back yesterday. However, seeing that the two are now entangled almost all the time, Custer is not easy to teach them a lesson.
"I've read the information you left behind, now, can you tell us about what you have seen?" After lunch, Custer called them into the living room for a meeting. He asked, holding a stack of texts. Before Shen Chao left the base, he handed over the information in his hand to Custer. Custer, who has been studying for 2 days, now needs Shen Chao to give his description of the scene.
Shen Chao saw Custer's reaction, and also understood that he was probably still angry, because he and Custer had a very tacit understanding before, whether it was fighting, arranging work and rest, or making plans. They all listen to each other's opinions, and there are very few cases of disagreement. As a result, he ignored Custer's warning yesterday, so his anger is not surprising at all.
"Where do I start?" By the way, I woke up in Central Park......" Shen Chao began to tell his experience of crossing that day, he took out the stack of maps and travel brochures in the materials, and carefully described his itinerary and what he saw at that time. Then he turned on the computer in the living room and connected her to the big TV in the living room, ready to play the movie "Godzilla".
"Is the world we're going to dangerous?" Alice asked, holding a map of New York, for the first time in such a meeting, not knowing that she should wait for anyone else to finish before interjecting. But Shen Chao wouldn't be angry with him, he explained.
"Not sure, because the main threat to the world we're going to this time is a very large monster, and as long as we can avoid it, we won't be in danger of our lives." ”
"What monster?" Alice asked, taking a map and placing it on her lap.
"Watch the movie, you'll understand. Shen Chao turned on the computer and adjusted the display settings to: projector only. With that, he went back to the couch and put his arms around Alice. Custer sat on the other side of the couch with a bottle of vodka and a bag of snacks and shook his head. He was quite speechless at how quickly Shen Chao and Alice had become so glued.
The movie started soon, first the factory logo and the like, several people took this opportunity to adjust their sitting posture, picked up drinks and snacks, Alice picked up a bunch of grapes, and kept picking individual grapes and sending them to her and Shen Chao's mouths. It's very couple-like.
The film begins with an apparently worn-out video footage, a documentary of a nuclear test. It is set in the context of the film, many years ago, near a small inconspicuous island in the Pacific Ocean, the military conducted several nuclear tests. The long-term practice destroyed all the flora and fauna of the island. Only one unhatched lizard egg escaped.
Decades later, a large Japanese fishing vessel in the Pacific Ocean is operating. Workers brave the rain on the deck, busily cutting and packing the freshly caught fish into storage. There is only one first mate on duty in Cambridge watching the satellite TV to pass the time.
Suddenly, the ship's sonar alarmed and the first mate rushed to check and found a large unidentified object moving towards their vessel on a detector. Due to being in a collision trajectory. He immediately sounded the alarm and called the captain to come and check the situation. …,
When the captain arrived, the unknown object was very close, and no matter how much they shouted, there was no response on the radio. Eventually, the hull was struck and shook violently. And then Godzilla came in. Its body was so huge that it couldn't even be fully displayed in the darkness of the night. Under its destruction, the fishing boat was soon hit like a catastrophic blow. The hull capsized, and only one old seaman ran to the deck early in a life jacket.
The camera jumps again, and the protagonist in the movie appears, and then is urgently recruited by the military. Embark on a journey to find Godzilla. The pace of the movie is fast, and the plot begins to become clear as Godzilla lands in Manhattan. Looking at Godzilla's huge body, Shen Chao didn't feel anything, and Custer didn't feel anything after experiencing the film and television bombardment for two months, but Alice was more excited. Shen Chao felt his hand hurt again from Alice's pinching.
"Do you have any weapons to kill this monster?" Alice asked, looking at the image on the big screen, in the movie, Godzilla had just moved his big foot away, and the photographer who had survived between his toes was so excited that he could barely speak.
"Absolutely... No. Monsters of this size require large heavy weapons from the roadbed or sea-based to be eliminated. The strongest firepower we have in our hands is nothing more than Stinger missiles and heavy machine guns, and it is basically useless to fight such monsters. Shen Chao looked at the huge back of Godzilla on this screen and said.
The movie continues, and due to the devastation caused by Godzilla, the army arrives and blockades the island of Manhattan as soon as possible. But Manhattan is so huge, it's like a jungle of steel, and even Godzilla's huge size quickly disappears without a trace. The army urgently evacuated everyone on the island of Manhattan, and then began an armed search inside the city.
When they discover Godzilla's ability to dig holes, the army has to plant a large number of mines underground to prevent Godzilla from escaping, and this is when the role of the protagonist is revealed. The main character in the movie proposes to use bait to lure Godzilla out and destroy him. The commander of the army adopted his Jianyì and mobilized a large amount of seafood piled together to act as bait.
Soon, Godzilla was successfully lured out by the humans, but the terrain of the ambush site was narrow and communication failed. The army failed to concentrate their firepower, and Godzilla escaped. When the plot progresses to Godzilla's ruse to take out several helicopters that are chasing it, Alice can't help but let out a burst of exclamation.
This is far from over, as the protagonist in the movie is kicked out of the army's scientific research team for leaks, the plot progresses to a new direction, the protagonist begins to search for Godzilla's lair with the help of a French agent who comes to the door, intending to find Godzilla's eggs that may be stored in Zài, and his ex-girlfriend, who feels ashamed, also tracks their actions with the photographer who is fatal.
On the ground, the army once again uses decoy to lure Godzilla into the net. Based on their experience last time, they set up the ambush in Central Park, where there is a large open space. However, despite their strict arrangement, Godzilla, who has a very high IQ and has already suffered a loss, recognizes this as a trap when he comes to the neighborhood.
In the end, Godzilla did not enter the ambush circle with heavy fire as he wished. It fled the scene at breakneck speed, dodging a large number of helicopter gunships. But even if it escaped to the sea. The army remained ready, and three nuclear submarines blocked its retreat.
One of the submarines fired a torpedo first in an attempt to eliminate Godzilla, but the slow torpedo was led by Godzilla to another submarine and exploded. The remaining submarines continued to attack, finally hitting Godzilla before he could run back to land. Watching Godzilla's huge body wail at the bottom of the sea, Alice's attitude was not as absolute as before. …,
"Can you only kill it?" She turned her head to look at Shen Chao and asked.
"I'm afraid it can only be like this, after all, its reproductive and attack capabilities are too strong, if you don't destroy it, the humans of that world may be exterminated." Shen Chao could hear that Alice was moved by compassion, after all, Godzilla in this movie is just an animal, and it didn't mean to mess with human life. The massive damage it causes is nothing more than a side effect of its massive size.
Alice doesn't say anything more, the movie continues, and the protagonist and his party trace Godzilla's traces, and finally find Godzilla's eggs in the messy Madison Hall. When they fix the power and turn on the headlights, they find that there are nearly 200 giant Godzilla eggs that are one person tall.
The worse news is that the eggs are about to hatch. After a thrilling struggle, the protagonist and his party encounter a photographer who is following them and the protagonist's ex-girlfriend. The two teams worked together to use the broadcast equipment in the square to send the information out there. The army immediately sent fighter jets to carry out the bombing mission.
After another thrilling battle of wits and courage, they managed to escape the Madison Center and avoid the bombing before the planes arrived. All the newborn Godzillas were also wiped out by fighter jets' air-to-surface missiles. It's at the end of this harmonious, like a typical Hollywood movie. A familiar loud bang came from underground, and Godzilla's huge figure emerged from underground. The previous torpedo did not take it out!
The few who survived began to flee again, and it took a lot of trouble to get in touch with the army. Knowing that Godzilla is still alive, the army asks the fighters who have not yet returned to base to immediately return to destroy Godzilla. Finally, after some adventure, Godzilla is stranded on the Brooklyn Bridge. The 3 fighter fighters who arrived fired missiles back and forth twice before finally knocking it down. To death, it is still trying to avenge the death of its own child. Watching Godzilla's huge body fall to the ground, Shen Chao felt Alice next to him sigh.
