They didn't rush to get Custer to go in and investigate immediately, instead, due to the heavy rain here, they first needed to find a place to stay and take shelter from the rain. In a nearby hotel lobby, Shen Chao squeezed through the crowd in front of him. Perform his great method of scattering money again. Successfully managed to make the hotel manager here find a way to free up a room for him.

Although it is only a small room of 2 or 30 square meters, it is much stronger than the rain outside. Since Custer was going to go deep into the enemy camp in a moment, the bathroom was given to him first. Shen Chao and Alice could only take off their soaked coats first, watching TV while waiting for Custer.

"Is this a common thing?" I mean, when you were agents. Is there a situation like now, halfway through a mission, and suddenly you find yourself facing such a crisis, nuclear weapons or something? Alice leaned against Shen Chao and asked, their clothes were still a little damp.

"No, no, no, if this were a normal event, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago. Shen Chao smiled and said, a few years of field agent career made him think he was well-informed, but with the accidents encountered in these crossings, he also put away his little sense of superiority. As their influence on the worlds they traverse grows, so does the reaction of those worlds to them.

It wasn't obvious in the previous worlds, because they hadn't had enough of an impact on the course of those worlds. But with a series of accidents they encounter in the biochemical world, and this event that almost triggered the nuclear cordon. A very clear problem came to them.

As their team builds, their abilities are getting stronger and stronger, and their influence on the target world is slowly increasing, from the beginning they can only fast in and out, carrying out some inconsequential small actions, to now they can frequently enter and exit the target world, and participate in important events that change the course of history.

Their experience is getting richer and more rewarding. On the surface, all of them are very good, and all of them are accelerating. But with the increase in earnings comes greater danger. They must re-examine their ability to manage risk. To put it more directly, Shen Chao needs to know where their current limit is. Only in this way will he be able to control the risk in the next crossing and avoid an unexpected encounter like today's.

"Do you often get drenched in the rain during missions?" Alice asked, looking at the news on TV, yawning.

"No, it's more about being exposed to the sun, holding a telescope and squatting in the tropics, I've taken on a few of those tasks." Shen Chao rubbed his temples and asked, he could hear the tiredness in Alice's tone, and he himself wanted to go back to the base to sleep quickly.

However, the final investigation will soon be over, and soon, they will be able to figure out the cause of the big accident and the limits of their current team's resilience. This will make their next crossing a lot safer. So he could still convince himself to hold on for a few more hours.

"I have one more question, it's a personal one. It's okay if you don't answer. Alice asked softly as she adjusted her weight to a more comfortable position on his arm.

"Ask, I don't have any privacy for you now. Shen Chao touched her little face and replied.

"If you had a choice, where would you settle down?" I mean, we're not going to go through like this forever, are we? She looked into Shen Chao's eyes as she asked, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Well, if I had a choice, I'd love to go back to the world of cell division. I have a pretty nice villa there, and I've always wanted to take you back to see it......" Shen Chao recalled his big house in the cell division world. I think he was so sure that he could get through the crisis in that plot safely, but he ran back as if he was fleeing. …,

He told Sù Custer that they would regroup and fight back. Custer is still working towards that goal, but he himself has long since left that world behind. Thinking about it now, he only felt that the conspiracy and political struggle there seemed like a long time ago.

He didn't care who was in power, who was victorious, and whether there was a place for him in the third echelon, ...... Shen Chao found that the only thing he still cared about was the big house where he lived alone. Just as he was thinking this, Custer also finished his shower and left the bathroom in his bathrobe.

"I'm going to take a shower, do you want to join me?" As soon as Alice waited for Custer to come out, she couldn't wait to go to the bathroom with a towel or clothes. Before entering, he didn't forget to turn around and tempt Shen Chao.

"No, I'm going to do some preparations, we're going to do it soon." Shen Chao smiled bitterly and said, although he really wanted to join in, but they didn't have a lot of time at the moment, he was ready to let Custer start acting immediately, and as a foreign aid, he was going to accompany Custer to the scene.

"Well, your loss. Alice put on a seductive smile and ran into the bathroom.

"You two are a ......good match," Custer said, and began to change clothes. Shen Chao also put on a nano suit for himself, and after they got their equipment and rested for half an hour, Alice finally changed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom, just as they were about to wait a little longer, a familiar muffled sound suddenly came from outside the window, okay, it was Godzilla's roaring voice.

"The time is just right, Godzilla appears again, let's go." Shen Chao said this and signaled that the two could go. After leaving the hotel, they rented a car at the bottom of the building and drove to the seawall, which was their intended location. From here, Custer will dive to the makeshift command center built by the sea, avoiding searchlights and the eyes of personnel, and enter the base to steal intelligence.

After preparing at the predetermined location and checking all the equipment, they set to work.

"Stay safe. Shen Chao instructed before Custer left.

"When this is over, I'm going to take a big vacation. Also, you two, don't be busy making out when I get in, help me watch the back a little. Before leaving, Custer hadn't forgotten to remind him that he had developed the habit of complaining about the couple.

"Don't worry, we won't. I'll be ready to answer you at any time. Shen Chao, who had changed into a nano suit, smiled helplessly and replied. Alice next to her just gave Custer a roll of the eyes. Custer didn't say much. Opened the car door and cautiously jumped into the sea.

The scuba of the nanosuit allowed him to stay underwater and avoid searchlights. He first cautiously swam all the way to the weakly defended flank of the base, avoiding the main outer line of the army here. Then, after he landed on the shore, between the two watchtowers, he quickly and quietly climbed through the fence in the concealment mode of the nanosuit. No alarms were triggered.

Then he found a poorly lit observation post, climbed up to bring down the soldiers inside, and injected a tranquilizer that would allow him to sleep for four hours. And changed into his uniform. After leaving the outpost, he disguised himself as an ordinary American soldier and rushed to the headquarters.

Due to Godzilla's reappearance, the headquarters was in a state of chaos as they expected, but the reality was even simpler than they thought, as several important tents in the headquarters were crowded with people, and there were not even special guards to guard them!

"Lazy Yankee! Custer gave this assessment in his heart. However, seeing that their defenses were so weak, he didn't bother to find an excuse to go in. Grabbing several coin-sized bugs, checking his appearance, he strode into the headquarters. …,

Avoiding the busy crowds of people coming and going within the headquarters, he quickly left a ready-to-use bug in several important locations. After arranging, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he walked out of the command room in a low-key manner and began to inquire about the news. As we all know, gossip in the army also spreads very quickly!

Half an hour later, he returned the same low-key route as he had come. Taking back the nanosuit, he took one last look at the weakly defended military camp behind him, and he jumped back into the sea without hesitation. The whole operation went smoothly, and the most critical intelligence theft work took less than 10 minutes in total. Now they can basically determine the cause and effect of the incident.

"It seems that we will have to be careful in setting our action goals in the future. The energy of the Fed's directors is not small, and if it weren't for the commanders' repeated requests for the White House to verify the order, southern Manhattan would have been in ruins by this time. Shen Chao said with the message that Custer had just stolen.

"And this Mr. Bernanke, it's no wonder that he can become the chairman of the Federal Reserve in the future, and the way he solves problems is really unusual." Shen Chao carefully looked at the large stack of messages in his hand, the content on it was very complicated. The most signed names are the Minister of Defense and the field commander here, Colonel Hicks.

Combined with the rumors in the army, they now have a basic conclusion. In short, the Fed bigwigs want to detonate a small tactical nuclear warhead in Manhattan, eliminating Godzilla while also covering up the fact that they have lost all their gold stockpiles. The plan was not complicated, first cutting off the field command from the president, ordering them to withdraw their troops from the city in the name of the Ministry of Defense, and then carrying out a nuclear strike.

The general idea is to let the U.S. government take the blame for the destruction of the gold reserves and the Manhattan financial district, and they, the bosses behind the scenes, can continue to make a lot of money by jumping out as victims after the fact and continuing to issue unworthy green banknotes.
