Chapter 6: In Search of Jackson
December 19, 2012, 11:50 p.m.
Los Angeles Airport, USA.
A plane departing from Itami Airport in Osaka, Japan, had just arrived at Los Angeles Airport, and as the door opened, a man in a suit with black hair stepped down and looked at the watch on his wrist.
"There are still two days left until the end of Shijie."
This man is wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which is Zhang Yang.
"If you don't want to take risks, you just need to go directly to China and sneak into the ark to complete the main quest. If you want to complete the side quests, you need to get in touch with the protagonist Jackson Krust, and the only way to follow the protagonist is to be safest. ”
Zhang Yang thought while looking at a map of the United States he had just bought.
"And the plot begins with Jackson leading his children on vacation to Yellowstone, where he meets Andrian, a black doctor, and one of his targets, Charlie."
And he either went directly to Yellowstone Park to wait for the rabbit, or took advantage of the present to check it in advance to prevent any changes in the plot because of his butterfly. He spoke fluent American English to a young lady next to him and was given a number. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT THIS BEAUTY'S PERSONAL PHONE, IT'S HERTZ.
HERTZ, THE WORLD'S LARGEST CAR RENTAL COMPANY, OFFERS A VERY CONVENIENT SERVICE. Zhang Yang took out the black Nokia 820 and dialed it according to the number. IN FACT, HERTZ'S THOUGHTFUL SERVICE, ZHANG YANG CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ONLINE, BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE. In the United States, some International Driver's Permits are not recognized, and a U.S. driver's license is required.
In addition to the ticket from Tokyo to Osaka and then to Los Angeles, which cost about 10W yen, Zhang Yang still had more than 180W yen left, and exchanged it for US dollars at a bank near the airport, about 2W, plus the 5W US dollar he got from the dance hall before, a total of 7W US dollars.
It didn't take long to arrive at the location agreed with HERTZ, Zhang Yang paid a total of $2,500, obtained a driver's license, and a silver Chevrolet sedan, which was rented for 7 days, unlimited mileage, $1,500 rental, and the remaining $1,000 was used to buy a "special driver's license".
Zhang Yang took the driver's license, and the photo above was Zhang Yang's face.
In these capitalist countries, as long as you have money, everything is convenient, and if you have enough money, even if you want a nuclear bomb, I'm afraid there are people who can do it.
For $2,500, Zhang Yang obtained an American driver's license, a well-equipped Chevrolet, filled with gas, and equipped with a paid version of GPS, although Zhang Yang can now understand English, he still chose the Chinese and English versions.
The person in charge of the transaction with Zhang Yang was a blonde woman in her twenties, who seemed to be out to earn pocket money, Zhang Yang's heart moved, and he asked the girl.
"Hello, do you know any places that sell books nearby?"
The blonde woman thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Oh, I don't like to read very much, and I don't usually pay much attention to it, but more than two hundred meters to the east of here, there seems to be a bookstore." ”
Zhang Yang took out a hundred dollars and shook it.
"My friend asked me to help her bring a science fiction book called 'Zaijian Atlantis', which is a science fiction book, and I think you must know where the bookstore is, right?"
Five minutes later, Zhang Yang walked out of a small bookstore, and in his hand was an extra book, an invoice, and a note. The cover of the book is a black and white portrait of a man, with a line of English letters written next to the author.
"Jackson Curist"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, the name of the actor in "2012" is Jackson Crewster, a third-rate science fiction writer, and his book is called "Zaijian Atlantis" ("FarewellAtlantis"). It's just that very few of his books have been sold, Zhang Yang turned a few pages, and then put them in the back, and deliberately sandwiched the purchase invoice inside.
And on the note in his hand, there was an address.
“Manhattanbeach,California。”
"Manhattan Beach, California."
There is also a house number in the back: 2245.
Zhang Yang started the Chevrolet, and the silver sedan kept shuttling through the streets, looking for a long time, but Zhang Yang still didn't find where the house number of 2245 was. Zhang Yang remembers that in the movie, Jackson's home seems to be a sloping street not far from the seaside.
And Jackson's other identity is the driver of the Russian billionaire Karpov, driving a black extended Lincoln, with these goals, Zhang Yang began to pay attention to it.
The silver Chevrolet passed a street, then retreated, and at the end of the street, a black stretched Lincoln was quietly parked there, his eyes lit up, and he was about to drive over, but he felt the ground shake, and in the asphalt street, a crack opened with a palm-wide curve.
The surrounding residents seemed to be frightened, and at this time, Zhang Yang saw a blonde man with two luggage hurrying out, holding a mobile phone between his ears and shoulders, and making a call.
"It's a holiday, it's not a doctor's appointment, it's going to be fun, you should know what's fun, Kate?"
The man on the phone is exactly the same as the cover character in the book in the back seat, he is the actor of "2012", Jackson Crew. And the woman who is talking to him on the phone is his ex-wife, Kate.
Zhang Yang didn't drive over, but when he saw Jackson suddenly take the phone down, there was a silent frenzy, it should be that his car couldn't catch fire again.
"Insect spray? Of course, there are a lot of mosquitoes in Yellowstone at this time. ”
Jackson hurriedly took out his two luggage, ran to his extended Lincoln, then hurriedly hung up the phone and drove out of the side.
Zhang Yang walked through the crowd of onlookers and heard an elderly white lady in green pants shouting to the old man basking in the sun upstairs.
"Morrill, I'll just say, we've got to move back to Wisconsin."
Jackson's extended Lincoln is the Russian billionaire Karpov, that is, the big fat man who helps his child board the ark and falls off the cliff at the end of the plot.
This Karpov is very rich, has his own private jet, has a boxer, and this extended Lincoln that Jackson drives is also of very good quality, in the movie, Jackson and his family drove Lincoln crazy escape. Zhang Yang has enough reason to believe that if Jackson drove an ordinary car, he might not have been able to hold out before the airport, and he would have hung up.
The black Lincoln was fast, and Zhang Yang drove the Chevrolet closely behind, and the two came to Los Angeles, Jackson's ex-wife, Kate's house.
Zhang Yang parked the car far behind, watching Jackson's actions, a little girl and a little boy came out of the house, they are Jackson's children, this little girl is 7 years old, but now she can wet the bed at night, and she is still using diapers. The little boy, on the other hand, was a little cold, and didn't seem to have a good relationship with Jackson, so he just looked at the lengthened Lincoln and said a word.
"Jackson, what's going on?"
And then, the long-haired woman who came out was Jackson's ex-wife, Kate.
