74. Task refresh (ask for favorites, recommended)

At the same time, Simon Ruuber had led his men to occupy the underground vaults of the Federal Savings Bank of New York.

Simon and his men looked at the bridle, neatly stacked, unbelievable array of gold bricks.

Most of the gold here is part of the reserve gold saved by the allies of the United States of America in the territory of the United States. It's like protection money, which is one of the reasons why America's strong power can't support it.

Although we are about to enter the 21st century, gold as a gold standard monetary system has been phased out.

However, gold, once a monetary system, has not depreciated because the gold standard has been phased out, and it has long been used as a symbol of wealth and various industrial applications.

Simon instructed his men to act as quickly as possible to avoid accidents.

McClay and Zeus began to quarrel because of the fatigue of the day and the fact that they had been teased several times.

John looked at the two disheveled, white and bespectacled African Americans arguing, John didn't want to be nosy, looked at the familiar African American man.

John complained in his heart: "Isn't this sister the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Could it be that I have traveled to Marvel, but I have read Marvel Comics in a bookstore.

This should be like a parallel time and space, this familiar African-American man is not the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury, whom John is familiar with."

At this time, the system task is also refreshed.

Mission: Help Officer McKelly find out who is behind the New York bombing.

Rewards: 15 Mall Coins, 130 XP, one draw.

The last draw was a house plus an attack.

It was clear that the white man at the head of the police force in front was naturally Officer McClay.

John refreshed the task list, with a bitter face, he just promised his girlfriend not to cause trouble, and slapped his face on the spot.

McClay and Zeus didn't care what John thought, both of them were already grumpy and began to argue.

Seeing this situation, John could only step forward and persuade him,

"SAY, SAY IT, YOU'RE GOING TO CALL ME NIGGER, RIGHT?"

The familiar African-American man said to the white man.

NIGGER IS THE FORMER TERM FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS IN WHITE AMERICA, WHICH IS A RACIST TERM THAT IS NOW BANNED BY AMERICAN LAW.

"Don't do it, you know, I'm not racist"

The white man quickly explained that his situation would be ugly if he were in today's situation.

"Then what are you going to say?"

"Bastard, call you asshole. You don't want to be biased against me just because I'm white. Zeus, I'm telling you, you're a racist."

“............”

"What"

Zeus was surprised, he was an African-American who discriminated against a white man, and he was still a white American.

"You don't like me just because I'm white"

"I don't like you because you're going to kill me"

Looking at the content of the argument between the two, John was about to cry, wondering if he should go through this troubled water.

"I'm sorry, do you need mediation. Do you need to call the police?"

John decided to get involved.

"I'm the Police"

Meclay couldn't help but look at John who was pretending to be confused and said, pointing to his police badge.

"Okay, I got it. So what are you arguing about? ”

John could only continue to raise his hands in confusion, indicating that he had no intention.

"FUCK, how much longer?"

The two argued for a while.

"Shit, I only have 2 minutes left, hurry up, throw it away"

The African-American man shouted.

"No, it's going to explode. And so on."

John, who was on the side, was startled when he heard this, and dared to love that the suitcase in front of him was a bomb.

"Excuse me, excuse me, you said it would explode?"

“.......”

McClay and Zeus forgot that there was still a citizen present.

So Zeus pretended to be a police colleague and beckoned John to come forward, and John pretended to be confused.

"Sir, this is a police secret, please don't make a big deal about it"

McClay looked intently at the two buckets in front of him, muttering about how to hold 4 gallons of water.

Zeus explained the problem at hand to John.

When John saw this, he raised his hand and said:

"Mr. Policeman, you fill 5 gallons and pour them into an empty 3-gallon bucket, then pour out the 3-gallon bucket.

There are only 2 gallons left in 5 gallons. Pour another 2 gallons into an empty 3-gallon bucket.

Then pour the 5-gallon full into the bucket with only 2 gallons.

So after pouring out a gallon of water for 5 gallons, there are 4 gallons left."

When McClay and Zeus heard John's attention, their faces were overjoyed.

So according to John's advice, while proceeding carefully, he said:

"I'm Officer McClay, and you call him Zeus, the god-king of Olympus. What's your name, you've done us a great favor today."

McClay did not forget to sarcastically mock Zeus.

"Hello Officer McClay, hello Zeus. I'm John Grayson and I'm from Harvard University in Boston. It's the duty of citizens to help the police."

"You seem to be quite bold, John. I'm John, too, John McClay. ”

It seems that John's name is very American, and there are several Johns.

(In order to distinguish the protagonist from McClay, John McClay is referred to as McClay hereafter)

After several maneuvers, the trio finally defused the bomb.

The three of them clapped happily, and it was the first time John had seen the bomb in person.

Looking at the suitcase-sized bomb in front of you, the power should not be underestimated.

At this moment, McClay's phone rang:

"Congratulations, you're still alive"

"Yes, we did"

"You surprise me"

Zeus made a "shh

John knew what Zeus meant, and nodded his head in understanding.

"I'm running out of time, Simon. Tell me where the bomb is, and we'll say yes."

McClay said with an anxious expression.

"On the contrary, you still have a long time, you still have 2 hours and forty-seven minutes, and these are the times to test your intelligence"

Simon, who was busy with his work, looked at his watch and said.

Hearing this, McClay exploded in anger and shouted into the phone:

"Listen, you bastard, I've been on a hangover to this day, and I hate playing games with you, you know? Where the hell is the bomb? ”

Simon said calmly:

"Control your temper, officer. There is an envelope underneath the fountain elephant statue with a road map inside. At the same time, use your wits to ponder the question, "What is 21 out of 42?" ””

Without waiting for McClay to answer, Simon Ruuber hung up the phone.

McClay took out the envelope and read:

"Send the home team to the Yankee Arena"

"We're the home team, what else?"

"What is 21 out of 42"

Zeus and McClay looked at John, and he was the best boy at Harvard.

The status of Harvard University in the hearts of the American people is a little similar to the status of the PBC Institute of Technology and the Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College in the hearts of the Chinese people in John's previous life.

They all have a vision, and they also hope that their children can be admitted to school one day.

John looked at the two people full of hope, shook his shoulders and said:

"I don't know, there's too much uncertainty"

McClay and Zeus were disappointed, not knowing whether it was John or John's alma mater.

“........”

Looking at the performance of the two, John was speechless, looked at the two who were about to leave, and hurriedly picked up the suitcase and chased after the two, saying:

"Officer McClay, Zeus, what you left behind"

The two glanced at each other, wondering how the other party had left the suitcase.
