In the mountainous area south of Qicheng, there is a group of Western-style villas, exquisite and luxurious, standing among the mountains like a noble Western-style beauty.
It's just that the beauty's predecessor was actually an unfinished building, which was ruthlessly abandoned by the bankrupt developer husband for seven years.
In fact, the construction here has been almost completed for a long time, but due to the problem of too high positioning and poor sales, it has been unable to sell a few units.
When developers bought land, they relied on huge loans, but the repayments were not smooth. In the end, they could not even pay the interest. The capital chain was broken and they had to run away halfway.
It has always been a headache for local agencies.
However, with the opening of a new era, Qicheng "has dragons and spirits".
Where Oriental Lighthouse is located, house prices have been rising in turn, and unfinished buildings have become popular. Soon many developers are vying to take over the project, making local institutions make a fortune.
After William, the son of God, came here, he took a fancy to the tranquility and elegance here. He spent a lot of money to buy several villas and lived in them.
It is now July, the trees are lush and the mountains are green.
The city to the north is hot, noisy, and crowded with people, but this villa is a rare place of peace and quiet. It can be seen that as a talented businessman, William's vision is not bad at all.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and he finally got out of bed amid the entanglement of several Western beauties.
Today he decided to do something serious and visit his uncle Robert who lived in another villa next door.
Since my uncle was assassinated last month by his long-time partner, the black man Jim, his injuries have been healed by Shenlong, but his spirit has been sluggish and he no longer has the fighting spirit he had before. He has been very decadent recently.
As the other party's only biological nephew and one of the two remaining males in the Robert family, William felt that he needed to inspire his uncle to fight.
Since he knew that money could buy immortality, he had no plans to get married and have children, so as not to worry about his children's affairs, which would hinder his own enjoyment and indulgence.
His thoughts are normal. You must know that there are too many adults in the United States who choose to be single, and he is just one of them.
So he hopes that his uncle, an old bachelor who is almost 40 years old, can take over the important task of continuing Robert's family. For this, he can even pay the bills of the other party's marriage.
For a rice man who believes in financial independence, his behavior is rare and proves that he values family ties.
No wonder Jim, the black man who assassinated Robert, believed that Robert’s death would stimulate him to become a true son of God. .
After William knocked on the door and walked into the room where his uncle was, he found that the uncle was sitting in front of the computer, shopping online.
With his pond-level strength, he can clearly read the contents of computer web pages at a glance.
"Men's anti-wolf steel underpants..." He read out word for word.
Robert looked back at his nephew, closed the webpage as if nothing had happened, and then said: "Oh, William, tomorrow, I am going to an Antarctic scientific research station. There is an old friend there who sent me a set of strange data yesterday. I watched it all night long, checked the information, and found that the problem was serious, so I had to go take a look."
William understood immediately, he smiled and said: "I see, I have heard that there are few women in that place, and now the Antarctic is in the polar night state. My uncle is indeed an experienced former agent, and he is considerate."
"Hmph, I've heard about the corruption of those guys for a long time. Now I'm just prepared." Robert rolled his eyes, then stood up from the computer and stretched his body.
The information sent by his old friend allowed him to find the direction of his life again. Since SBI had problems, he chose to go it alone.
Anyway, there is a rich fund-raising place like my nephew inside, and a powerful mercenary like Knight A outside. The two biggest difficulties did not exist. At this time, he was full of energy.
"Uncle," William lost no time in dragging his feet, "You have worked hard for more than ten years, but you were assassinated by your partner, why are you still running around
"It's very safe here, why not settle here. I can give you a villa and a high-level position in Asia, so you don't have to worry about your source of income."
Robert shook his head, as if he didn't even realize that these things that he had at his fingertips, in the eyes of many people, would be impossible to achieve in a lifetime.
His eyes were firm and he just said: "Some things have to be done by someone..."
William, who was greedy for pleasure, found it difficult to understand his uncle's idea, and he resisted it from the bottom of his heart.
But this does not prevent him from admiring each other.
Because he is very smart, he understands that it is precisely because of the existence of these people that he has the environment to display his abilities.
And because he knows he can't do it, he admires people who can do it...
Therefore, he has always been very generous with related donations.
It would be unimaginable for other rich people to donate hundreds of millions of dollars without even seeing a splash.
… …
The next day, Robert took men's wolf-proof steel underwear with "same-day delivery" and rushed to a scientific research station in Antarctica in the United States without hesitation.
A week later, he called William via satellite, his tone urgent.
"William, listen to me and inform Mr. Lighthouse immediately that I have discovered something terrible."
…
The cold wind is howling, and Antarctica is in darkness.
It is covered with wind and snow all year round and is in the polar night period.
The bright moon appeared on the distant horizon, looking extremely low, bringing scarce light to the glaciers in the polar night.
Reflected by the ice and snow, one can barely see the surrounding scene clearly.
Of course, these are no problems for the system master.
Knight A stood on a glacier, overlooking the nearby sea.
Beneath his feet lay the black dog Bailit, carrying a fish tank on his back. The cold weather didn't seem to affect the fish tank at all.
I don’t know why, but recently when Bailit went on a business trip, he always carried the fish tank on his back, taking the dragon and carp with him.
Fang Ning was too lazy to care. After all, spending more time with his subordinates could enhance their understanding and improve their relationship with colleagues.
Behind him was an elderly white man and former SBI agent Robert.
The old man has gray beard and hair, neatly combed, and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking like an expert and professor.
But the old man's eyes would glance at the tall and strong Robert from time to time, but he turned a blind eye to the handsome Knight A.
At this time, it is the time when the tide occurs.
The waves are coming up layer by layer, hitting the glacier and causing waves.
When they rushed in front of the three people, they stopped suddenly, as if they encountered a layer of glass and turned into countless debris.
"Old George, tell this Mr. Lighthouse about your discovery." Robert said unceremoniously to the old man.
"Okay, my dear little Robert," the old man withdrew his obscene gaze and immediately took out a thick stack of reports from his backpack. "This is my observation report for the past two months. I found that when the tide rises every day, , the waves are increasing, and this increase rate is exponential.
“Exponential growth may be inconspicuous at first, but once it reaches a critical point, it will explode suddenly, just like the lotus that will cover the entire pond in 30 days.”
The old man said this with extra emphasis.
Robert nodded, understanding.
The old man then continued: "According to my calculations and predictions, at most one year, the height of the high tide waves will be enough to cause huge natural disasters. By then, many developed coastal cities around the world will be wiped out.
"I submitted the report to the relevant agencies in the United States early, but instead of facing this problem, they wrote back and laughed at me for being too old and unfit for inspection work. All the data were wrong. Recently, I also found that someone was Stalking me, it terrifies me.
"I remembered that Robert you once said when you and I were chatting online that you suspected that there was something wrong with the upper echelons of the United States. If you die, let me find your nephew to avenge you. So I sent the information that should have been destroyed The secret has been kept until now, and I will inform you secretly. I don’t know if I will be captured by the CIA or investigated by the FBI.”
The old man finished chattering, trying to arouse Robert's sympathy by mentioning the huge risks he had taken.
Robert turned a deaf ear and quietly stood away.
Knight A, on the other hand, had an expressionless face and said nothing.
System: "He spoke for a long time and I didn't understand him at all. Can you translate it, Rich Man?"
Fang Ning was speechless: "You don't understand this? Don't you often surf the Internet? This is a typical beginning of a Hollywood disaster movie. An old scientist discovered the clues of a doomsday crisis, but the corrupt upper-level personnel turned a blind eye.
"He had no choice but to take a huge risk to find us. It seems that the reputation of the Eastern Lighthouse has indeed spread throughout the world."
System: "So that's it, but there's no point in asking me about this... This must be a natural disaster. I don't see any red or black monsters nearby."
Fang Ning said thoughtfully, "Now we have to call Huang Gouzi."
The system then said: "Yes, it's time to take the blame again..."
However, before Knight A could throw the pot away, someone, no, a fish took the initiative to jump into the pot...
"Master True Dragon, I, Dragon Carp, am the most familiar with things related to the sea. In recent days, Brother Baili has given me some magic pills to restore some of my mana. I can go into the sea to explore."
In the fish tank on Bailit's back, the dragon and carp jumped up and uttered human words.
Old George looked at this talking carp with some surprise, his eyes shining.
Robert's face was normal. He had seen a talking tree before, let alone a carp. In Eastern mythology, it was an existence that could transform into a dragon. It was nothing surprising to be able to talk.
Fang Ning took over Knight A's body, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. It's rare for you to be so proactive and willing to take on such a big responsibility. If you are successful, I will not hesitate to reward you."
The dragon carp jumped out of the fish tank excitedly and dived into the sea.
The black dog stared at the sea with burning eyes.
Taking advantage of Dragon Carp's exploration, Fang Ning asked Old George: "Dr. George, based on your knowledge, do you have any speculation of your own?"
The wretched old George looked serious for the first time.
He did not answer, but looked up at the moon on the distant horizon and said, "The biggest possibility I can think of is that the moon is approaching us."
Fang Ning thought about it and realized that the tidal phenomenon seemed to come from the gravity of the earth and the moon.
This was what some dry, instruction-like science fiction novel told him.
Robert questioned: "If that's the case, the observatory experts should have discovered it first, not your old George. Do you think it could be an undersea volcano or tidal anomalies caused by crustal movement
"I have also checked the information and found that the moon has actually been moving away from us. Billions of years ago, the distance between it and the earth was only half of its current distance. How could it suddenly get closer? Who has such great ability to violate the laws of nature and push moon?"
When Fang Ning heard this, he immediately looked at Robert with admiration.
This guy really did a lot of homework, unlike me and my uncle, who flew over directly to settle the matter as soon as they heard something big happened here.
After Bailit opened the map, the system boss searched for monsters all over the map. Just like himself, he didn't want to use his brain...
Old George frowned and said: "I don't know why, maybe those observatory experts are dazzled? They can't see the moon approaching the earth
"It is still said that they are collectively sleepwalking. It is said that the tides have changed, and the moon should have been close to a large distance. This distance is enough for them to observe."
Fang Ning nodded. Since there were so many contradictions, it meant that this incident was indeed unusual.
And this happened to be Knight A's weakness. He didn't have the patience to analyze and track it slowly.
The system guy is even more awesome, and it’s hard to understand...
Fortunately, he was able to shift the blame, which fully proved that Mr. Fang's foresight was enough to attract enough allies early on, so that he did not need to fight alone.
Neither the system nor Fang Ning noticed at this time that there was really a monster watching them around.
It's just that this monster has no entity and belongs to some kind of illusory existence.
"Hmph, so what about Knight A? Facing such a natural disaster, you are destined to be helpless!!"
"Hahaha, I really hope that black cat will help me spread out quickly. I really want to see your scared and helpless eyes soon. Then it will be me, when the eight-headed snake god is resurrected again..."
In the void, this illusory monster looked at Knight A on the glacier and smiled proudly.
