Chapter 196: 'Tone'

His son's increasingly presumptuous behavior at the dinner table finally led to LaVine succinctly shouting out his full name, "Lardy LaVine...", which is the behavior of the New York police detective when he is truly furious.

At the same time, Zhang Lisheng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Don't think about going to the 'otherworldly world' to do what 'new cowboy' Laddie, the danger there is unimaginable." ”

"Of course I know there's danger there, it's been said every day on TV. ”

"It's not the danger that you talk about on TV, it's like a desperate situation like a 'cannibal' horror movie.

At present, the otherworldly realm that humans can reach, that is, a large primitive island, there is a kind of skin that is very tough, and the face is wrinkled like an old man, but the strength is very great, and the dwarfs living in the jungle will catch the intruders, peel off the skin little by little with a stone knife, and eat people..."

Listening to Zhang Lisheng's faint and colorful description, everyone at the table was stunned, and Laddy was very curious and asked, "You, how do you know Lu Dao Lisheng?"

"I've heard from some survivors who have been there, and two days ago, I had the same thoughts as you, planning to go to the otherworldly realm to see the excitement.

Later, a partner of mine who lives on the Upper West Side of New York took me to meet a guy who lived in a psychiatric center and made me dismiss the idea. Zhang Lisheng said and gobbled up the last piece of sandwich into his mouth.

"But, but isn't the otherworldly realm just opened, let alone if it's so dangerous there..."

"Laddy, that madman is not an ordinary citizen but a former professional soldier, and the environment in the otherworldly world may have improved a lot now. That's why the government is open to the people, but that doesn't mean it's safe. After swallowing the sandwich and drinking the juice again, Zhang Lisheng stood up, "I still have to go to the workshop beforehand, let's see you again." ”

Watching the young man's back disappear at the door as he walked quickly, his half-brother Harry suddenly said, "Why do I think Brother Li Sheng is getting more and more eloquent..."

"What?"

"You don't even understand the tone, oh Jil, you're going to become one of those 'antiques' who can only learn.

The tone is that very. It's very stylish. Just like the characters in TV and movies, do you think I will be able to become very vocal in the future?

'The environment in the otherworldly world may have improved a lot now, but this does not mean that it is safe to see you again'. The boy looked at his sister and asked rhetorically imitating Zhang Lisheng's movements and tone.

"Yes, but if there is no billions of net worth and successful careers that match this 'tone'. You're just going to be ridiculous like a narcissistic idiot. Just like you are now."

While the twin siblings of the Laven family are arguing. Zhang Lisheng was driving his 'explorer' out of the parking lot, and the streets were lined with strangers who had just woken up from their tired sleep.

Most of them were young people in their eighteen, nineteen and twenties, and when they woke up, they packed up their tents. They lined up to wash up at the water intake in the small community park, and then chatted with each other in high spirits, and rushed to the newly established office of the Federal Department of the Interior in New York to register for passage through the otherworldly realm.

Zhang Lisheng, who was blowing air conditioning in the car, couldn't help but murmur: "If you don't open online registration, you will be tired and want to come to New York in person, there are so many people in this world who have no bright brains..."

After a thoughtful drive of a few dozen minutes, the young man went to an expensive parking lot on the Upper West Side, parked his car, bought a few cans of cold Coke, and walked to the Goose Pond Restaurant.

In the most famous breakfast restaurant in New York, there is a long queue, and Zhang Lisheng crossed the crowd to the old doorman with gray hair, a blue round hat and a serious expression, and asked with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Arthur, has Tina arrived?"

"Mr. Lisson, Miss Doeglina hasn't arrived yet, but Miss Steg is in the dining-room. ”

"Tricy is here, oh, that's fine, thank you. Zhang Lisheng said and pushed the door and walked into the restaurant.

A cold air rushed in his face, and the young man comfortably asked the waiter, "Tiffany, where is Tricy?"

"Please follow me, Mr. Li Sheng. The hostess, who was already quite familiar with Zhang Lisheng, smiled with eight snow-white teeth, and led him to a table by the window.

The beautiful red-haired woman is holding her chin in her hand, looking through the floor-to-ceiling window at the crowds of strangers who have been sleeping in the open for a night in New York's Central Park, stunned.

The young man coughed lightly and sat down on the other side, "Tiffany, please give me two servings of spaghetti with tomato brisket." ”

"Please wait. The hostess smiled and turned away.

"You're here for Li Sheng. Tricy, who came back to her senses, looked at Zhang Lisheng and beckoned, "Good morning, in fact, it's not morning now, Tina and Xie Liya haven't come yet, and they don't answer the phone, I really don't know what the hell Lu Dao is doing." ”

"Tina was with me last night and came home late, maybe she was too tired to get out of bed yet. The young man excused Tina.

"She went to look for you last night!" Unexpectedly, when Tricy heard this, she opened her mouth in amazement and said angrily: "Oh, no wonder we were clamoring to leave before nine o'clock, and even lied to us that because school was about to start, we wanted to spend more time with our parents, this is really..."

"Oh, is that so, maybe I'm mistaken, well, by the way, she must have been with me the day before yesterday

"Come on, Li Sheng, I'm a sophomore at Harvard, not a kindergartener

"But I'm a graduate student at Stanford, so you're listening to me. ”

"You're really getting more and more cheerful, especially since you came back from Africa," Tracy said with a stunned smile, "By the way, I've never heard you mention the story of what happened in Africa in those months."

I guess with the level of 'right and wrong' and bad luck you can get, you won't just choose to live in seclusion in South Africa, will you?"

Zhang Lisheng smiled dumbly and turned his gaze out the window, "You guessed it right, Trisy, I did live in Johannesburg for a few months. ”

"Oh God, you were in South Africa when the otherworldly invaders attacked Cape Town?"

"Not only am I in South Africa, but I am in Cape Town on the very day when the people of the other world launched their general attack..."As the young man spoke, the waitress came over with two plates of tomato brisket pasta with attractive red, red, green and green colors, "Mr. Li Sheng, your pasta." ”

"Thank you, Tiffany. Zhang Lisheng took a deep breath of the fragrant fragrance, opened a can of cold Coke, stopped talking, and feasted with satisfaction.

"How hungry are you, you gobbled up pasta in the middle of the conversation, tell me, have you seen the appearance of those people from the otherworldly realm?

"No, but I've seen their chariots, armed locomotives and self-propelled missiles," Zhang Lisheng rolled up a stick of pasta with a fork and put it in his mouth. ”

"I've seen those otherworldly chariots and airports on TV and the Internet, and the shape is very punk-style, which is said to be the product of 'steam civilization', but what is a self-propelled missile?

By the way, why did you get so unlucky from Johannesburg to Cape Town that day, and how did you get out of danger?"

"That's a very long story, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it until you get on the plane in the afternoon..."

"Why is the story so long and it takes so long?" Zhang Lisheng was saying, when suddenly a crisp and familiar female voice came from behind him.

"Oh, Tina you're finally here, and Tricy wants me to tell her stories about the thrill of my time in South Africa, which you know all about, just in time to stay on the plane and spend time. ”

"That's a good idea, baby," Tina kissed the young man's ketchup-covered mouth, and then stuck her head over her chum to kiss her cheek.

"Don't even think about Tina, your mouth is covered in ketchup. Tricy hurriedly threw herself away, dodging the girl's mouth and shouting.

"You dislike me, you really make me sad dear. Tina pretended to be sad and sat next to Zhang Lisheng.

"You two are really, really, indescribably kissing while eating pasta," Trisy said, pouting.

At this moment, a hoarse female voice stopped the girl's words, "Oh Trisy, a devout Catholic girl like you is ignorant, and when men and women have a very close relationship get along, they sometimes put more disgusting 'things' in their mouths.

It's at a restaurant in Manhattan's blue-collar district, and I saw it on Tuesday..."

"Shut up, Cheria. This time, Tina and Tricy whispered at the same time.

The three girls finally got together and began to order something together and chat, Zhang Lisheng seemed to have become a superfluous person, and could only look at the endless stream of pedestrians outside the window, eating pasta without saying a word.

It wasn't until he heard Tricy casually mention that the government had opened a direct route to the otherworldly islands, and allowed private funds to join the operation, and planned to make the route completely private within a year, that he couldn't help but ask: "Completely privatized, but to go to that damn big island, don't you need a warship to escort it?"

"Oh, the company that operates the route can order its own weapons escort, I heard that the government has a plan to sign an order recently, allowing companies controlled by Mi Guo Capital to buy some warships and small gunships of General Dynamics and Boeing, dedicated to the development of the otherworldly world. ”

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "Private companies are allowed to buy warships and armed helicopters, or buy them from General Motors and Boeing, hell, aren't they also private companies, and they also produce weapons?"

"Of course, isn't this strange, Li Sheng, the largest military factories in the United States are all private enterprises, otherwise how could they compete with each other to compete for orders from the Ministry of Defense, constantly producing more and more advanced and powerful weapons.
