"… I want to kill you, kid."
Fu Gui's real name was Fu Mingui. Due to his name, his good friends called him Fu Gui. Furthermore, he was also a rich second-generation heir, so the word 'Fu Gui' seemed to have become his real name. Furthermore, his father was from the older generation. Although he had become rich due to the reform and opening up, he still had the thoughts of the older generation. He felt that the word 'Fu Gui' was good, so unknowingly, everyone who knew him called him Fu Gui.
Fu Gui and Fangzheng had been best friends since they were young. Their relationship had always been very close, so when Fangzheng said that his life was at stake, Fu Gui still rushed to Fangzheng's house even though he was having a deep conversation with a beauty. However, after hearing Fangzheng's words, he immediately put on a sour face.
"I say, Fangzheng, are you really as your name suggests? Have your head become square and straight? It's just a dream, yet you are making such a fuss over nothing? Then, will I be like this when I have nightmares in the future? "Fu Gui took out a can of beer from Fangzheng's fridge and complained as he drank.
Fangzheng wiped his glasses and said seriously, "Do you still remember what happened when we were in primary school? What did I say when we went on a spring outing? "
Fu Gui's action of drinking beer froze. He forced a smile and said, "Stop joking. That was just a coincidence. Besides, don't you think it's ridiculous? One is your premonition, and the other is your dream. Furthermore, it's a dream of the end of the world. Don't you think that's a little exaggerated? 2012 has long passed, and so has 1999. There's talk of the end of the world every year, but it's completely false. "
Fangzheng continued, "If the incident in primary school was an accident, then what about the incident in high school? And the last time you went to France? Back then, you also wanted to go to the stadium to watch the game, but I felt that something was amiss. I saved your life. "
Fu Gui fell silent for a moment before saying, "Did you really have a premonition that something would happen? I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me. "
"I don't know if something will really happen, but I do feel that something is wrong. I can't tell what it is." Fangzheng said seriously to Fu Gui, "Now, there are two ways to check if something is wrong. The first is to trace the whereabouts of the naval fleet from Tianjin, but this is definitely beyond our ability. If something goes wrong, you and I will have to go in. At that time, no matter how much money your father spends, it will be useless because it involves the military. This is a forbidden area, so there's definitely nothing we can do about it. As for the other way, we will go to the island in my dream, which is the location on the map."
As he spoke, Fangzheng showed the laptop to Fu Gui. The world map on it showed the location Fangzheng had pointed out. After looking at it for a long time, Fu Gui said, "But there's nothing here. There's no island there."
Fangzheng nodded and said, "It would be better if there was no island. That would mean that my premonition was wrong, but if there was an island … Fu Gui, to put it bluntly, if there really was a biohazard crisis, or something in the Ghost Circuit, or even a nuclear war, do you think you can rely on your father's money to keep you safe? It's written clearly in online novels. Although it's not necessarily correct, being rich is not necessarily a good thing when the time comes. So I'm asking you, do you want to go with me to investigate? "
Fu Gui looked at the map and thought for a moment before saying, "This is the high seas … Alright, since you've said so, I'll take some time next week and use my yacht to go there to take a look."
"Don't, don't say next week. Leave today. Immediately!" Fangzheng hurriedly said.
Fu Gui immediately said with a sullen expression, "Come on, Bro. You know that yachts have to be prepared for going out to sea. There are all kinds of things that need to be checked and maintained. Besides, I have an appointment today and tomorrow. You can't do this."
Fangzheng said stubbornly, "No, we have to go today. At most, we'll wait for these things to be done. Even if it's at night, we'll set off tonight. I'm not forcing you to miss the appointment, but we're just going to take a look. If there's no island and nothing happens, I'll apologize to you when I return and treat you to a drink. Haven't you always wanted to woo that person from our television station? When the time comes, I'll risk my face to create an opportunity for you. How about that? "
Fu Gui immediately looked excited. After confirming that Fangzheng was serious, he immediately took out his cell phone and made a few calls. After making several calls, he gave Fu Gui a confirmation. Alright, they could set off at dusk. They were expected to arrive at that sea tomorrow. “
Nothing happened that day. Only Fangzheng kept using his connections to inquire about things. Of course, as a veteran reporter, he knew that some things couldn't be asked directly. Even his informants were the same. He asked from the side, but everything seemed normal. There were no signs of Resident Evil, nor were there any strange occurrences. There were no signs of nuclear war between countries. The entire world was very calm. Even Fangzheng himself was puzzled.
But he felt uneasy …
No matter what, Fangzheng and Fu Gui set off at dusk that day. They used a small yacht to head towards the sea. Of course, Fu Gui didn't think much of it. His main goal was to get Fangzheng to help him connect with the woman he liked. As for Fangzheng, although he felt uneasy, his rationality told him that it wasn't the case. Therefore, he didn't think much of it in his heart. But it was such a strange action that even he found it unbelievable.
The night was uneventful. The next day, when the small yacht was about to reach the vicinity of the sea, they encountered something unbelievable. Yes, it was very unbelievable because a small destroyer intercepted the yacht. The key was that after the destroyer intercepted the yacht, the people who were sent to investigate the small yacht were not Chinese, nor were they Asian. They were blond Europeans and Americans. Then, they saw that the people on the destroyer were all blond Europeans and Americans. This situation was too strange. Although it wasn't that there were no American troops or American warships near Asia, this place was after all very close to Z country's waters. They had just reached the high seas when a warship intercepted them …
Was there really going to be a world war?!
After that, there was a series of inspections and inquiries. Fangzheng and Fu Gui were forced to stay at sea for nearly ten hours before they were released. They were also told that they were not allowed to enter the sea area. There was a joint military exercise in the sea area.
After that, Fu Gui and Fangzheng returned to the port of the original city in silence. The two of them didn't speak along the way because both of them felt that something was wrong. If it wasn't for Fangzheng's intuition at the beginning, and that sea area happened to be within the range of the small island Fangzheng mentioned, the military exercise wouldn't have been important. But when all of these things were added together, it was too strange. Fangzheng's intuition happened to be in that sea area, and it happened to be the warships driven by the Europeans and Americans …
"Fangzheng … Brother, do you think there's going to be a third world war? Didn't you see a post saying that Z country's fleet was seen in Tianjin? Now that Z country's seas are blocked, is there going to be a world war? "Fu Gui suddenly asked as he drove Fangzheng back to the city after entering the port.
"Impossible! No … It's impossible. " Fangzheng wasn't sure himself, but he still relied on rational logic to say, "This kind of thing is almost impossible. Think about it yourself. Under what circumstances did the first and second world wars happen? It happened when benefits were unevenly distributed and there was a new powerful military force, so … "
"Isn't the current situation very similar?" Fu Gui suddenly said, "Z country is rising, getting richer and richer, and its international status is getting higher and higher. Its social welfare is getting better and better. Although it's not as good as what many people say, it's still ten thousand times better than what the public says. The country is rich and strong, and it participates more in international affairs. And now, the vested interests, whether it's Europe or the United States, are already vested interests in this world, so naturally, they can't let Z country rise. Such a situation … Don't you think it's very similar to the first and second world wars? What's more, hasn't America been making things difficult for Z country in all kinds of ways for the past few years? "
According to what Fu Gui said, even Fangzheng wasn't sure. And according to logical reasoning, Z country's fleet was out at sea, and foreign, European and American fleets were in the open sea. What's more, he had heard the conversation of the crew on the destroyer. It was French, and it was a French ship … Thinking about it this way, it was really f * cking like the prelude to World War III …
"No, impossible!" Fangzheng still tried to convince Fu Gui and himself. He said, "World War I and II happened because there was no nuclear deterrence. And at the current level of technology, the outbreak of World War III means a nuclear war, which also means the destruction of human civilization. As long as it's not a terrorist or a screw loose, the five permanent directors will not allow World War III to break out. At most, it will be a small local war … But it can only be a proxy war. It's absolutely impossible for the five hooligans to take action personally.
"What if?" Fu Gui asked. The two of them fell silent.
The two immediately fell silent. After a long while, Fangzheng said, "In that case, let's verify it together. If there's going to be a world war, there will definitely be all kinds of clues. The first is the material reserves. Every country will definitely start to tighten their material reserves. This will definitely be reflected in the market. I'll search for evidence from my connections. You can start from your father's connections. If there's really going to be a third world war …"
Their faces were deathly pale. They weren't stupid people, nor were they simple-minded keyboard warriors. They weren't war maniacs. They truly understood the horrors of war. Naturally, they knew that if World War III really broke out, the ones who would die would definitely be the common people. Even the rich wouldn't have absolute protection in World War III ….
Hope is wrong, hope is wrong …
The two of them were silent, praying in their hearts.
