In the southern mountains of Qi City, there was a group of Western-styled villas. They were exquisite and luxurious, like a noble Western-styled beauty standing between the mountains.
However, the beauty's previous life was actually an unfinished building. It was heartlessly abandoned by a bankrupt developer husband for a full seven years.
In fact, the construction here was almost complete. However, due to the high price, sales were not smooth, and only a few units were sold.
The developer bought the land with a huge loan. The loan was not smooth, and in the end, they could not even pay the interest. Their capital chain was broken, and they could only run away halfway.
All this while, it was a headache for the local organizations.
However, with the start of a new era, Qi City became "spiritual as long as there is a dragon".
Where the Pharos of the East was, housing prices rose, and unfinished buildings became popular. Soon, many developers rushed to take over, and the local organizations made a fortune.
After William, the Son of God, came here, he liked the seclusion and elegance of this place. He spent a lot of money to buy a few of the villas and moved in.
It was July, and the trees were lush and the mountains were green.
The northern part of the city was hot and noisy, and the flow of people. This villa was a rare quiet and cool place. It was clear that as a genius businessman, William had a good eye.
On this day, the sun was high in the sky. He finally got out of bed with a few western beauties.
Today, he decided to do something serious. He went to visit his uncle Robert who was staying in another villa next door.
Ever since his uncle was attacked by his partner of many years, Jim, last month, although his injury was healed by the Dragon God, he had been dispirited. He no longer had the fighting spirit he used to have, and he had been very dispirited recently.
As his only nephew, one of the two remaining males in the Robert family, William felt that he needed to raise his uncle's fighting spirit.
Ever since he knew that money could buy longevity, he did not plan to get married and have children. He did not want to worry about his children's matters, which would hinder his own enjoyment.
His way of thinking was normal. After all, there were too many adults in America who chose to be single, and he was just one of them.
Therefore, he hoped that his uncle, an old bachelor who was almost 40 years old, could take over the responsibility of continuing the Robert family. For this, he was even willing to pay for his marriage.
For the Americans who believed in financial independence, his behavior was rare. It was enough to prove that he valued family.
No wonder Jim, who assassinated Robert, thought that Robert's death would stimulate him to become a true Son of God.
William knocked on the door and entered his uncle's room. He found him sitting in front of the computer, doing some online shopping.
With his Pond-level abilities, he could clearly see the contents of the webpage on the computer at a glance.
"Men's Anti-Pervert Steel Underwear …" He read it word by word.
Robert looked back at his nephew and closed the webpage as if nothing had happened. Then he said, "Oh, William, I'm going to an Antarctic scientific research station tomorrow. There's an old friend there who sent me a set of strange data yesterday. I've been looking at it all night. I've done some research and found that the problem is quite serious. I have to go and take a look. "
William immediately understood. He smiled and said, "I see. I've long heard that there are very few women in that place. Now that the South Pole is in a state of polar night, Uncle, you are indeed an experienced former agent. You are very thoughtful."
"Hmph, I've long heard about how rotten those guys are. I'm just being prepared." Robert rolled his eyes, then stood up from the computer and stretched his body.
The information sent by his old friend helped him find the direction of his life once again. Since even SBI had problems, then he chose to work alone.
After all, he had a rich source of funds like his nephew on the inside and a powerful mercenary army like Vigilante A on the outside. The two biggest difficulties did not exist. At this time, he was full of energy.
"Uncle," William did not miss the opportunity to drag him down. "You've been working hard for more than ten years, only to be assassinated by your partner. Why are you still running around?
"It's very safe here. Why don't you settle down here? I can give you a villa and a senior position in Asia. I promise you won't have to worry about your source of income. "
Robert shook his head. He did not seem to realize that these things that he could easily get were things that many people would not be able to obtain in a lifetime.
His gaze was firm as he said, "There are some things that someone has to do …"
William, who was greedy for pleasure, found it difficult to understand his uncle's thinking. He resisted this idea from the bottom of his heart.
However, this did not stop him from admiring him.
Because he was very smart, he knew very well that it was because of the existence of these people that he had the environment to display his abilities.
And because he knew that he could not do it himself, he admired those who could do it …
Therefore, he had always been very generous with related donations.
If it were any other rich person, it would be hard to imagine donating hundreds of millions of US dollars without a single ripple.
…
The next day, Robert brought his men's anti-wolf steel underwear and rushed to a certain scientific research station in America's Antarctic.
A week later, he called William on a satellite phone. His tone was very urgent.
"William, listen to me. Hurry up and inform that Mr. Lighthouse. I've discovered something big."
…
The cold wind howled. Antarctica was shrouded in darkness.
This place was covered in snow all year round. It was in the polar night period.
The bright moon appeared on the horizon far away. It looked exceptionally low, bringing sparse light to the glaciers in the polar night.
Under the reflection of the snow, people could barely see the scenery around them.
Of course, this was not a problem for Sir System.
Vigilante A stood on top of a glacier and looked down at the nearby sea.
Brett the Black Dog was lying by his feet with a fish tank on its back. The cold weather did not seem to affect the fish tank at all.
For some reason, Brett had been carrying the fish tank and bringing the Dragon Carp along when he went on a business trip recently.
Fang Ning was too lazy to care. After all, the more time his subordinates spent together, the more tacit understanding they would have.
Behind him was an old Caucasian man and the former SBI agent, Robert.
The old man's white hair was neatly combed. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked like an expert professor.
However, the old man's gaze would occasionally glance at the tall and strong Robert. He ignored the handsome and handsome Vigilante A.
This was the time when the tide was rising.
The waves were surging up layer by layer, hitting the glaciers and creating waves.
When the waves were about to reach the three of them, they stopped abruptly as if they had hit a layer of glass and shattered into countless shards.
"Old fart George, tell this Mr. Lighthouse about your discovery," Robert said to the old man without any trace of politeness.
"Alright, my dear little Robert." The old man retracted his perverted gaze and immediately took out a thick stack of reports from his backpack. "This is my observation report for the past two months. I've discovered that the waves have been increasing every day during high tide. This rate of increase is exponential.
"The exponential increase might not be noticeable in the beginning, but once it reaches a critical point, it will suddenly explode, just like that lotus that will grow in the entire pond in 30 days."
The old man emphasized as he said this.
Robert nodded to show that he understood.
The old man then continued, "According to my calculations and predictions, in at most a year, the height of the high tide will be enough to cause a huge natural disaster. By then, many of the developed coastal cities around the world will be destroyed.
"I've submitted the report to the relevant American agencies a long time ago, but not only did they not face this problem, they even wrote back to mock me for being too old and not suitable for observation work, saying that all the data was wrong. Recently, I also discovered that someone was following me, and that made me very afraid.
"I remember Robert, you once told me in an online chat that you suspected that there was a problem with the upper echelons of America. If you were to die, you asked me to find your nephew to avenge you. That's why I've kept the data that should have been destroyed until now and secretly informed you. I don't know if I'll be captured by the CIA or investigated by the FBI. "
The old man rambled on and on about the huge risk he was taking, trying to gain Robert's sympathy.
Robert turned a deaf ear and quietly stood further away.
Vigilante A, on the other hand, was expressionless and did not say a word.
The System said, "He's talking for a long time, I don't understand at all. Mr. Rich Boss, can you translate for me?"
Fang Ning was speechless, "You don't even understand this? Don't you always go online? This was a typical Hollywood disaster movie opening. An old scientist discovered the signs of an apocalyptic crisis, but the corrupt upper echelons of America turned a blind eye to it.
"He had no choice but to take a huge risk to find us. Looks like the Pharos of the East's reputation has spread all over the world."
The System said, "I see, but there's no point in finding me for this … This should be a natural disaster, I don't see any red or black monsters nearby."
Fang Ning said thoughtfully, "Now we need to call Yellow Dog over."
The System then said, "That's right, it's time to shift the blame again …"
However, before Vigilante A could shift the blame, someone, no, a fish jumped into the pot …
"Master True Dragon, I, Dragon Carp, am most familiar with matters related to the sea. Recently, Brett has given me some elixirs to help me recover some magical energy, so I can explore the sea. "
In the fish tank on Brett's back, Dragon Carp jumped up and spoke in human language.
Old George looked at the talking carp in amazement, his eyes shining.
Robert's expression was normal. He had seen trees that could talk, let alone a carp. In Eastern mythology, it was an existence that could turn into a dragon, so it was not surprising that it could talk.
Fang Ning took over Vigilante A's body and nodded, "Hmm, not bad. It's rare for you to be so proactive and willing to take on such a big responsibility. If there's any merit, I won't be stingy with your rewards."
Dragon Carp jumped out of the fish tank excitedly and dove into the sea.
Black Dog's eyes were burning as it stared at the sea.
While Dragon Carp was exploring, Fang Ning asked Old George, "Professor George, with your knowledge, do you have any theories of your own?"
The wretched Old George's expression turned serious for the first time.
He did not answer, but looked up at the moon on the horizon and said, "The biggest possibility I can think of is that the moon is approaching us."
Fang Ning thought about it, the tidal phenomenon seemed to come from the gravitational pull of the moon.
This was told to him by some dry, instruction-like science fiction novels.
Robert questioned, "If that's the case, the experts from the observatory should be the first to discover it, not you, Old George. Do you think it's an underwater volcano or a tidal anomaly caused by the movement of the earth's crust?
"I've checked the information, the moon has been moving away from us. Billions of years ago, it was only half the distance from Earth, how could it suddenly get closer? Who has the ability to go against the laws of nature and move the moon? "
Hearing this, Fang Ning looked at Robert in a new light.
This guy really did his homework, unlike Fang Ning and Sir System, who flew over as soon as they heard that something big was happening.
After Brett opened the map, Sir System looked for monsters all over the map, just like Fang Ning, it did not want to use its brain …
Old George frowned and said, "I don't know why either, maybe the experts from the observatory are seeing things? They can't see the moon approaching Earth?
"Or could it be that they are collectively sleepwalking? Logically speaking, the tides have changed, so the moon should be very close to them. This distance is enough for them to observe."
Fang Ning nodded. Since there were so many contradictions, it meant that this incident was not normal.
This was Vigilante A's weakness, he did not have the patience to slowly analyze and track.
Sir System was even more amazing, it even had trouble understanding …
Fortunately, he was able to push the blame away, which proved Master Fang's foresight. He had already roped in enough allies, so he did not have to fight alone.
The System and Fang Ning did not realize that there was a monster staring at them from all directions.
However, this monster did not have a physical body, it was an illusory existence.
"Hmph, so what if it's Vigilante A? Facing a natural disaster like this, you're doomed to be helpless!! "
"Hahaha, I really hope that black cat can help me spread it out, I really want to see your terrified and helpless eyes. Then, it'll be time for me, the Eight-Headed Serpent God to be resurrected … "
