Chapter Ninety-Eight: The San Francisco Incident
A postmodern café on the streets of downtown San Francisco.
A man in a black hooded sweatshirt sits in the corner of the café, with his left hand in his pocket and a black glove in his right hand, gently tapping on the keyboard of the laptop in front of him.
A handsome face hidden in the shadow of a hood was full of oddity and excitement.
It was Lin Zhongtian who entered the third metal door.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......"
"This is the world of Godzilla!"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and followed his gaze to the screen of his notebook, only to see a video of an upward angle playing on it, in which a giant beast with a body that covered the sky and the sun, almost the same as a tall building, was fighting another giant beast in the city.
The former is the protagonist of the 2014 version of "Godzilla".
The latter is the villain in the play, Godzilla's old enemy - Muto.
Muto is an original monster from the Godzilla film series, with a triangular head and jaw, red eyes, two pairs of huge forelimbs in front of him, and a relatively short secondary wrist growing on his chest and abdomen.
It feeds on radioactive energy, so it will lay eggs in Godzilla's body, and the larvae will grow and develop on the atomic furnace in Godzilla's body, and after hatching, they will kill the host, and the Godzilla in the ancient times at the beginning of the 14th version of Godzilla was parasitized by Muto's eggs and died.
Therefore, it is widely believed that Muto was Godzilla's old enemy in ancient times.
In the first Godzilla films, two Mutos, a male and a female, build a nest near San Francisco's Chinatown to lay eggs, and go head-to-head with Godzilla who crosses the Golden Gate Bridge.
At this time, five years had passed since the "San Francisco Incident".
San Francisco, once in ruins, has been brought back to life thanks to human efforts.
High-rise buildings are rising, the economy is steadily recovering, and everything seems to be moving in a better direction.
But in any case, only five years have passed since the San Francisco incident, and the legacy is still fermenting.
Lin Zhongtian crossed the spatial coordinates and landed in the new slums of San Francisco, where most of the people were poor people affected by the monster war five years ago.
Some of them lost their homes, some lost their jobs, and some even lost their families and some of their limbs.
The former is okay to say that as long as San Francisco is rebuilt and the city is in ruins, they will find a job and start over sooner or later.
However, those who have lost their ability to work because of this can only survive on receiving government benefits, and some people may not even be able to keep this amount of government benefits.
Lin Zhongtian happened to encounter this scene when he crossed over.
Four able-bodied black youths are robbing two elderly people of their handouts.
Without any hesitation, Lin Zhongtian immediately stepped forward to stop them, but who would have thought that these four black men not only did not stop, but even dared to attack his fist with his own face.
In desperation, Lin Zhongtian could only choose to defend himself, fight back, and give them baby-like sleep.
After smiling and seeing off the two old men who kept thanking them, Lin Zhongtian read the memories of the four black men, and then learned about the monster war that took place in San Francisco five years ago.
But the four blacks were hiding in the basement at the time, and they didn't see the battle between the monsters with their own eyes.
So Lin Zhongtian left the new slum and followed the memories of four black people to the San Francisco metropolitan area, found an old man in the urban area who specialized in buying stolen goods for zero yuan, and after a cordial conversation, he got a few dollars from him and a video of the monster war five years ago.
Seeing the brother and Mu Tuo on the video, Lin Zhongtian finally determined the identity of this world.
"This is a world of monsters!"
Lin Zhongtian closed the notebook and knocked on the table thoughtfully, thinking that it should be difficult for a traverser to appear in this world.
Even if there is really a traverser, he should find a remote place to live in seclusion, and he will never dare to participate in the plot easily.
After all, in this world, the power of individual human beings is too small......
"It's hard to find, fellow." Lin Zhongtian sighed, then thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's just let it go, whether you can meet me depends on your own creation......"
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Zhongtian temporarily left the task of finding his fellow countryman behind, and began to recall the plot with great interest.
According to the information he has so far, the Godzilla vs. Muto incident happened five years ago, and if he remembers correctly, the timeline of the second Godzilla movie is five years after the first!
"Let me think about where the opening credits of Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters takes place......"
"By the way, it seems to be Yunnan!"
Lin Zhongtian's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and stroked his left hand lightly in front of him.
In an instant, a gray light flashed from the black jade ring on his left index finger.
The laptop that had been placed on the table disappeared in an instant.
This ring is one of the space items made by Lin Zhongtian, there is a huge space inside, and it is full of gray mist, with this thing, he no longer has to worry about the problem of insufficient battery life of the clone.
Lin Zhongtian put on his hood, left the café with his hands in his pockets, and disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.
Five minutes later, a high-rise building with an octopus logo in the middle of the city.
Lin Zhongtian, who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the sky in front of him and stretched out his left hand.
In an instant, gray light circulated on the black jade ring, and bright silver armor parts appeared beside Lin Zhongtian, floating and spinning in the air with his mind, aiming at Lin Zhongtian's body in the air.
In the next second, the bright silver armor parts suddenly flew in, turning into streamers and sticking to Lin Zhongtian's body.
In just a few seconds, a silver-armored god dressed in silver armor with a black silver cloak on his back will appear at the top of the building.
This is the armor cast by Lin Zhongtian based on the silver armor of the Erlang God Yang Jian in the TV series "Baolian Lantern".
Whether it is the armor parts or the cloak behind them, they are all composed of high-strength compressed matter and a fine network of gray mist, and the principle is the same as that of the Golden Armor God in the Rapid Pursuit World.
In other words, this is a set of armor that can be used by Lin Zhongtian to achieve physical flight!
After finishing dressing, Lin Zhongtian jumped and turned into a silver light and disappeared into the sky.
……
……
Speaking of Godzilla series of movies, we have to mention an organization - the Imperial Organization.
Founded in the forties of the last century, this organization specializes in investigating unidentified unknown creatures on Earth, and is arguably the most mysterious human organization in the Godzilla monster world.
Today, the Imperial Order has spread across the globe, finding the ancient creatures that are sleeping around the globe and setting up base outposts around them, guarding and studying them.
The place where Lin Zhongtian is going on this trip is the No. 61 base of the Imperial Organization in Yunnan, China.
In the original plot, Dr. Emma Russell, a member of the Imperial Order, and her team follow the sound signal of a mysterious creature to the rainforest in Yunnan, where they find a megalithic temple with a huge cocoon in which another famous monster in the Godzilla world sleeps, Mothra.
Mothra is the monster that symbolizes "motherhood" and is also a benign representation of the natural order.
In the vast majority of Godzilla series, Mothra appears as a patronus and never takes the initiative to harm humans.
But in the plot of the movie "Godzilla 2 King of Monsters", as soon as Mothra hatched from the cocoon, the security of the base suddenly went out of control, and the sudden situation made the base security personnel a little panicked, and subconsciously shot and attacked Mothra, thus triggering the rampage of Mothra larvae.
Meanwhile, a group of people take the opportunity to raid the base and rob Dr. Emma and her daughter, as well as a device called Okka.
When Lin Zhongtian arrived at Base 61, the base had already been damaged, and black smoke was billowing from everywhere.
Helicopters in the sky carry abandoned buildings back and forth, trying to salvage the base's materials and survivors.
Tents were set up on the periphery of the base, and people came and went like ants, carrying the wounded who were wailing and moaning on stretchers.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian sighed softly.
Although the power of human civilization is strong, the power of individuals is still too small, and in the face of giant beasts like Godzilla and Mothra, life is as fragile as a candle in the wind.
After sighing, Lin Zhongtian turned his eyes and looked at a waterfall not far away.
There, Mothra larvae that had escaped from Base 61 were spinning cocoons and preparing to emerge.
