A few hours later, when the sun had completely set and all of New York began to clean up the tragic battlefield, Chen Chen was standing high in the sky above New York City Hall.
Below him, thousands of soldiers were guarding in front of the city hall. Guns and tanks were everywhere, as if they had become a hedgehog.
However, to be honest, the people in the city hall did not believe that these soldiers could deter Chen Chen. They were more like ostriches that were deceiving themselves, using this to embolden themselves.
"Boom!"
With a dull thud, Chen Chen jumped down from a high altitude and stood in front of the city hall gate guarded by countless soldiers. These soldiers suddenly seemed to be frightened and they raised their guns to aim at Chen Chen.
"Put it down, all of you put down your weapons!"
The commander in the lead only felt his scalp tingle. He quickly called on his men to put down their guns and braced himself to walk toward Chen Chen.
When he was four or five meters away from Chen Chen, he stopped and at the same time raised his right hand to make a military salute, shouting, "Colonel Gibbon Claire, commander of the Northern American Independent Division, reporting for duty. Please wait a moment, our mayor will be here soon."
As he spoke, a white-haired man appeared at the gate with a group of city hall officials. Although they tried their best to remain calm, if one looked closely, one could still see the panic in their eyes.
This group of people walked in slowly, but when they reached Claire's side, they were unwilling to go any further. Only the white-haired man in the lead braced himself and walked in front of Chen Chen. He stretched out his hand somewhat stiffly. "I'm Sapir Ashburn, the mayor of New York City. On behalf of Northern America, we welcome you..."
Seeing this, Chen Chen stretched out his hand and gently shook the other party's hand. When he held the other's hand, he could clearly feel the man in front of him tremble.
"Ashburn, you can call me 'Watchman'."
"So, so Sir Watchman..."
Hearing this, Mayor Ashburn quickly forced a smile and said, "Now, please come in with us. On behalf of Northern America, I'm responsible for the friendly negotiations between the two sides."
Chen Chen nodded and let the other party withdraw his hand. Then, under the other party's humble invitation, he walked toward the interior of the city hall.
Although Chen Chen was now a humanoid nuclear bomb, he still had to be cautious. Before entering the city hall, he used Field to go deep into the city hall. After confirming that there were no lethal moves in the city hall, he took the lead and walked in.
Under the personal guidance of the mayor, Chen Chen and a group of officials were taken to a conference room. Chen Chen took a seat on one side of the conference table and the rest of the people reluctantly sat on the opposite side.
"Would you like coffee or something else?"
Mayor Ashburn asked again.
"No need."
Chen Chen waved casually. "I've shown my sincerity in negotiating with you. Now, you can answer me. When can I get the other Ark?"
"This …"
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Mayor Ashburn smiled bitterly. "If you really understand our human civilization, then you should understand that the other ark in the world isn't on our side in Northern America, but in Europe. It doesn't belong to the same political system as us."
"Of course I know this."
Chen Chen nodded. "But I also know that on the European side, Northern America has always been the leader. If you ask the other party to hand over the Ark, the other party has no reason to refuse. Am I right?"
"This..."
Everyone hesitated.
Hearing this, Mayor Ashburn's expression became even more bitter. He was just about to argue that this was not the case, but Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Mayor Ashburn seemed to understand that Chen Chen was not an existence that could be easily fooled. He trembled all over and nodded with difficulty. "I understand, I'll report this condition to the higher-ups..."
"You're wasting my time, Mayor Ashburn!"
However, as Mayor Ashburn said this, Chen Chen's expression turned completely cold. He slowly stood up and an invisible force bound the entire conference room.
In an instant, everyone felt as if their throats were being strangled. They kept touching their necks, only to find that there was nothing there!
"If you can't represent the Northern American officials, then let someone of a higher level who can make decisions do it."
Chen Chen said in a deep voice. He walked step by step toward Ashburn. "I've already shown enough sincerity and even condescended to see you, but you said something like 'report to the higher-ups'..."
"Are you messing with me?"
As he spoke, Ashburn only felt his throat tighten even more. He could not help but take a deep breath. However, no matter how he breathed, the air seemed to be condensed and could not be inhaled into his lungs at all!
"Uh... Uh..."
Ashburn kept scratching his throat with both hands. He wanted to open his mouth to explain but he could not make a sound deep in his throat. He could only show a pleading expression and stare intently into Chen Chen's eyes.
When Ashburn felt that he was about to suffocate to death, finally, his throat suddenly loosened. Then, his whole body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath!
"Phew, Your Excellency Watchman... Phew, I'm really sorry..."
Ashburn quickly defended himself. "I promise you that within thirty days, within thirty days, you'll definitely get that European Ark. I'll keep my word!"
"No, it's not one."
Chen Chen continued to speak. He stared at the other person condescendingly. "It's two. You must also dismantle the one on Mars, transport it back, and hand it over to me."
"... Yes!"
Seeing this, Ashburn could only nod.
"Very well, the deal is reached."
Seeing this, Chen Chen showed a smile again. He pulled the other person up from the ground and at the same time looked around at the shocked crowd. "If I still can't get what I want after thirty days, then I promise that the entire human civilization will suffer an unprecedented impact...
"And this time, it won't be as easy as today..."
With that, Chen Chen gave everyone a sneer and then suddenly turned around. The window behind him suddenly shattered.
Then, Chen Chen took a step forward and his figure took off directly and flew out of the window.
"Boom!"
With a deafening blast from outside the window, Chen Chen directly entered a supersonic state and disappeared into the night sky.
It was not until Chen Chen had left that everyone crawled out from under the table in a sorry state. At the same time, there was a rush of running outside the door. The next second, a large group of soldiers with loaded guns rushed in.
"There's no need to continue to be on guard, the other party has left."
Ashburn's expression was ugly. He waved his hand at the many soldiers and asked them to retreat. Then, he sat down on the chair in front of him, still in a state of shock.
The next second, the screen directly in front of the conference room automatically opened, revealing the scene in another conference room.
"It seems that you've failed."
In the video, it was the figure of the previous group of senior officials in the White House. Obviously, the previous negotiations had been observed by everyone.
"It's terrible, Mr. President."
Ashburn shook his head, looking dejected. "The countermeasures we prepared to deal with various situations didn't work at all. Even the best negotiators, psychologists, and behavior analysts weren't used because the other party had no intention of negotiating with us at all. He just came to make a request.
"We understand that in the case of a huge gap in strength, he does have this qualification."
In the video, the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat nodded and then he looked at the crowd again. "The other party's words earlier obviously meant that the previous attack was just a show of strength. If we can't hand over the Ark within thirty days, he'll take more drastic measures..."
"In fact, these are secondary. I've discovered a more terrifying situation."
Suddenly, the Minister of Defense, who had been silent all this time, whispered, "You should've also noticed that the other party was wearing that strangely shaped armor before and he didn't wear it during the negotiations just now, but he can still fly freely. Doesn't this mean..."
The Minister of Defense was silent for a while before continuing with difficulty. "Doesn't this mean that he doesn't rely on technology to fly? Could it be that the previous destructive power that easily destroyed tall buildings was possessed by him? "
"If that's the case, it's too terrifying..."
The expression of the President of Northern America became more solemn. "Superpower? Or is it the 'spiritual power' he mentioned before? Can the Department of Defense analyze it? "
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the experts to arrive at Wall Street and Times Square before we can determine this."
The Minister of Defense replied, "The only pity now is that he didn't drink water, nor did he stain any objects on the negotiating table. Otherwise, we can extract his DNA for analysis and find out the secrets of this' Watchman '..."
"Obviously, the other party is also guarding against all of this. It seems that we can only contact the European side."
Seeing this, as the President of Northern America, the middle-aged man in charge finally made up his mind. He looked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Contact the European side as soon as possible and persuade them to give up the 'Ark'. As for New York City, you can continue to find ways to contact the other party and see if you can find any new opportunities..."
"Yes..."
Ashburn nodded.
Immediately, the screen in the conference room flashed again and turned off completely.
...
At this time, after a period of flight, Chen Chen had crossed thousands of kilometers again and returned to the sky over Papoose Lake in Nevada.
The reason why he had to take a roundabout approach and attack the world of DOOM to seize the "Ark" instead of taking the most primitive method of directly extracting the "Ark" from the USB flash drive was that the movie did not give the "Ark" specific equipment.
The "water ball" that appeared most often in the movie was the "water ball". As the "Ark" was activated, the water ball would wrap around the passengers in front of it and then disappear with a whoosh.
By the time the passenger came back to his senses, he had already arrived at another Ark on Mars.
Because the Ark did not show its true form from beginning to end, Chen Chen could not use the first method to directly extract it. Therefore, Chen Chen opened the passage and took the second form of the USB flash drive to enter the world of DOOM to take the initiative to seize it.
Now it seemed that everything was going smoothly. He also discovered a shocking secret. It turned out that not every world opened by the USB flash drive was destroyed. This could be said to be Chen Chen's biggest discovery after obtaining the USB flash drive.
At this time, Chen Chen returned to the sky above the Ark Experimental Base. As the underground passage opened again, Chen Chen took the elevator back to the interior of the base.
"Sir Commander, I've learned about everything you've done through the Internet."
As soon as he returned to the Ark Experimental Base, the voice of X-112 came again. "At the same time, Northern America is constantly trying to regain control of the Ark Base and at the same time, they want to establish contact with us to test us."
"Ignore them."
Chen Chen said indifferently, "We'll wait for them for thirty days. If they still haven't obtained the Ark by then, I'll need to use memetic weapons to teach them a lesson."
"Understood. “
X-112 responded, "In addition, I also found the so-called C24 chromosome technology from the database of the laboratory. I found that although this technology may not be able to be used on a large scale, it can be used on the Black Knights to further enhance their sustained combat ability and recovery ability."
"Indeed, the Black Knights have no good or evil because they don't even have a brain."
Chen Chen suddenly remembered. "The Black Knights can be said to be completely immune to the side effects of the C24 chromosome. In that case, let's take it with us."
Judging from the movie, the effect of this C24 chromosome could only be said to be average. Even the protagonist of the movie only had three aspects of strength, reflexes, and recovery ability enhanced. The extent of the enhancement was roughly equivalent to Alice who was infected with the T-virus, perhaps even slightly inferior.
If this was in the past, Chen Chen would have done anything to obtain this enhancement, but for the current him, it was only the icing on the cake because this C24 chromosome technology could not be used on Chen Chen himself.
Now that Chen Chen wanted to take it with him, it was only to take it back for research. Perhaps if he was lucky enough, he could research something more valuable.
In addition, X-112 also hacked into the national defense network systems of various countries in this world and took out some technology that could be used for reference. For example, the "biochemical energy gun BFG", which was the weapon in the movie that could make a two-meter diameter hole in a steel wall half a meter thick with a single shot. In addition, there was the "nanowall" technology mentioned before.
As the name suggested, the nanowall was a wall made of nanomaterial. In normal times, it existed in the state of a door. In this state, any object could pass through this nanowall.
However, once a certain switch was triggered, the nanowall would suddenly change from a fluid state to a solid wall. In this state, the nanowall would be indestructible. Even bullets hitting it would bounce off and the wall would not be damaged in the slightest.
In addition, there were many modern technological applications unique to this world. These technologies could be referenced and complemented with reality, thus making Chen Chen's scientific research project more comprehensive and smooth.
Finally, Chen Chen directly issued an order for the group of captured researchers to begin dismantling this "Ark" in the experimental base. He wanted to first transport this Ark back to reality. When the other two Arks had arrived, he planned to place one of them in the Spire Experimental Base and the other on Mars.
As for the last one, Chen Chen planned to secretly place it on the dark side of the moon and build a helium-3 mine there.
