Chapter 64: The Safest Place
May, for America, Nevada, is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when temperatures used to be around 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, which is the most comfortable time of the year.
However, last night's cliff-like cooling and snowfall without warning caught people off guard.
The reporter on TV, dressed in a thick down jacket and hood, stood in the wind and snow and announced:
The sudden cold snap sent three states on the West Coast into a bitter cold spell, including a cold snap from California that has entered Nevada and Arizona.
According to the National Weather Service, this strange cold snap will be a once-in-a-century disaster in America, and it is likely to travel from the West Coast to the East Coast in a week to half a month, rarely across the entire East and West regions.
Finally, the National Weather Service reminds you not to drive on slippery roads during a blizzard, which is likely to be the coldest in recent decades, and the Met Service urges people to stay indoors or take precautions to prevent frostbite and hypothermia."

Sitting on the couch, River picked up a cup of steaming coffee, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Since the beginning of the new century, the ambient temperature has changed dramatically, and some states and counties have experienced snow in May and June, but the National Weather Service will issue a notice the day before or even a few days before, and there has never been a time when there has been no notice as now.
As the director of the Bureau of Mystery Countermeasures, River is always reminded of the events in New York and Lake Geneva, which are often not predicted by scientific means.
Is the sudden drop in temperature and heavy snowfall in Nevada overnight also related to mystery?
Remembering Daniel's curse last night, River shuddered as hot coffee spilled on his wrist.
'A weak wielder of a Vision would never have such an ability!' ’
River affirmed, but reminisced back to Daniel's final curse: "Amerika. The gods who love me will not spare you! One day, ice will cover the entire east and west coasts."
River hurriedly put down his coffee and wiped the coffee stains from his hands with a paper towel.
They currently have so little information about the mysteries, and the Vision of God, a symbol of entering the transcendent world, is only one of them.
Who knows if those vision-holders will really be loved by the gods?
The transcendent enough to destroy the aircraft carrier battle group already exists, and the 'gods' in Daniel's mouth do not seem to be impossible to descend on Earth.
River scrambled to his feet, uneasiness and anxiety filling his brain, and just then, the phone rang urgently.
"Hello?"
"Director, we have completed our preliminary research on the Vision of God, would you be interested in taking a look?"
"I'll be there shortly." River muttered.
In the Joint Laboratory of the Mysterious Countermeasures Bureau of Area 51.
River put his hands behind his back and listened to the researcher talk about the colorless gem:
"According to our current research, the Vision is more like an external magical organ, which can absorb the mysterious substance from the air and use it to enrich itself, so that the 'owner' can exert all kinds of incredible powers."
"Why is the pattern representing ice missing?" River frowned.
"We suspect it's due to the death of its owner." The researcher said, "From the information we have now, there are three attributes of the Visions of the Gods, such as thunder, ice, and water, and we estimate that there will be at least the Visions of the Fire Element. ”
River lost interest in these questions, and he asked, "Can we just use this Vision?" ”
"I'm sorry, Director, we still have too little experimental data, and no one from the researchers who have worked with the Vision has reacted, and we are still studying whether it will be scrapped with its owner."
River lost patience, the dull and colorless Vision that remained in the container reminded him of Daniel's curse at every moment.
The current strange cold weather in America makes him feel like he is on pins and needles.
'I need to find a safe place. The thought came to River's mind.
No one understands better than him that Daniel's death was mainly because of him, otherwise it would not be impossible to become a new citizen of America with Daniel's degree of cooperation.
River had to admit that the greed in his heart overrode everything when he saw the Vision of God that was the same origin as the True Eye of the Evil King.
'Safe place'In River's view, even the American White House, there is no place that is the safest.
That is Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, Yingzhou, in the community where the Pure Land Bird Tour sisters live!
Thinking of this, River's heart was a lot more relaxed, and he was ready to immediately notify the Hexagon and strive to go abroad as soon as possible.
He walked out of the laboratory quickly and said to the assistant who followed closely beside him: "Help me check the recent plane to Yingzhou, we are going to Yingzhou to investigate." ”
The assistant was shocked in his heart, and he was embarrassed: "Director, the airports of all Nevada and large and small stopped just half an hour ago"
"Of course I do!" River's tone was cold, "You won't help me contact the military's airport?" Or the private jets of some rich people? ”
"Yes, yes" The assistant immediately pulled out the phone, he always felt that the director's mood was not quite right.
River walked briskly towards the airfield in Area 51, which was originally intended to be used as an air base, in addition to researching some mysterious matters.
After a while, River went to the Air Force Management Office in Area 51 and asked his department to provide a helicopter gunship for use.
"There is absolutely no problem with your identity," the office staff said with a slight embarrassment on their faces, "but you also know that it is very dangerous to carry out tasks in blizzard weather. ”
"Don't coax me! I also have military experience! "In a thunderstorm, I would never ask you to provide a flying vehicle, but on a snowy day, the visibility of the flight is reduced, and a good pilot can handle this situation perfectly." ”
"Okay, I see, sir, please wait a minute." The office staff had no choice but to ask for help from their superiors.
By the time River had boarded a helicopter gunship at Area 51 Air Force Base, he had already provided the Hexagon with a request to travel abroad to fly to a private airport to Hawaii, from where he would be able to leave safely.
Buzz boom boom~
The propeller rotates at high speed in the wind and snow until it reaches high in the air.
River's heart gradually settled.
'What transcendence, power, and most importantly keeping yourself alive. ’
River looks out from the small glass window he carried in the cabin.
Suddenly, a face that he was all too familiar with appeared strangely on the glass.
"Daniel!"
