The strange attire of the people on the tugboat and the warship made many young men on the cruise's deck horrified again. A haggard blonde girl held onto the railing of the ship's side and shouted in panic, "Egli, w-why are those people dressed like that? They even announced that we've become the target of some B-rank public safety disposal mission!
What's wrong with us? What's wrong with us? "
"Don't be afraid, Petty. I've seen it on TV before. In order to prevent dangerous unknown bacteria and viruses from being brought down from space, astronauts will be quarantined for 72 hours when they return to the ground from space.
I think it must be because we've stayed in the supernatural realm for a day, so we must be quarantined for observation for a period of time before we can go home. This is just a necessary procedure. There's nothing to worry about … "
"But how did they know that we came back from the supernatural realm?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's because after the Elizabeth Holiday went missing yesterday, the Coast Guard sent out a search ship and it ended up in that terrifying supernatural realm as well.
It's alright. Since we're back, we'll be able to go home after being quarantined for a period of time. I'll always be by your side. Don't be afraid. With such a legendary experience, perhaps we'll become well-known stars in the future … "The girl's boyfriend hugged her shoulders and comforted her continuously.
Ignoring the commotion on the deck of the Elizabeth Holiday, a large number of professionally trained US professional soldiers wearing strict isolation suits and holding taser guns quickly boarded the cruise ship using the gangway. Using the gangway ladder, they quickly boarded the cruise ship and began to forcefully and orderly chase everyone back to the cabin.
"According to the US National Security Act, the Elizabeth Holiday has been listed as a military-controlled area. Please remain calm and quiet and return to your room to rest first.
After a few hours, someone will come to your room to collect blood samples for a preliminary epidemic inspection. Please don't cooperate … "
The ship's broadcast changed to a stiff and solemn voice that kept repeating the announcement. Zhang Lisheng, who was wrapped in a blanket and carrying Mountoad, followed the crowd back to the cabin and muttered with a curl of his lips, "How noisy! Even if I don't deserve it, what can you guys do to me …"
Tina, who was by his side, was taken aback. Lowering her voice, she said anxiously, "Lisheng, since the Elizabeth Holiday has been listed as a military-controlled area according to the law, those soldiers have the right to take coercive measures if we don't cooperate with the military's legitimate request.
Of course, you're not afraid of them, but even if the sea monster that can only fly destroys the warships, helicopters, and tugboats around the ship …
Damn it, then you'll become the world's number one terrorist. Baby, it's just a blood test, and then we'll be quarantined for a period of time according to the procedure. Look, even those big shots on the ship are willing to cooperate … "
"Tina, I'm just saying. Oh yeah, where's my room? I've never been there before."
"I didn't even book a room for you behind Dad's back. I originally planned to stay with you and spend a romantic and passionate night together. Who knew that things would turn out like this. Fortunately, everything is fine now."
She led him along the corridor to the first-class cabin area of the ship and opened a suite opposite Sheila's and Trish's room before walking in.
Quietly watching the flow of people in the Elizabeth Holiday's cabin corridor pouring into the rooms on both sides before finally disappearing, the naval officer in charge of monitoring the evacuation activated the wireless walkie-talkie in his hood. "Bird's Nest! Bird's Nest! I'm Little Bird No. 1! Mission accomplished! Mission accomplished!"
"Little Bird No. 1, Little Bird No. 1, I'm Bird's Nest, I'm Bird's Nest, stay alert, stay alert."
"Yes!" The officer replied and made a tactical gesture. The naval soldiers in the corridor gave a thumbs-up to indicate that they understood and began to disperse to guard the entire corridor.
After the command center received the report from the last officer in charge of evacuating the cruise passengers, it immediately ordered the staff on the Saint Mary to start the towing operation.
After a period of intense work, the giant tugboat finally fixed the Elizabeth Holiday with special cables and machinery. After that, it slowly set sail under the escort of the warships and pulled the cruise ship towards the vast sea.
At the same time, in a white classical British palace consisting of a three-story main building and an east and west building on Pennsylvania Avenue NW in the District of Columbia, Washington State, United States …
In an oval office in the West Ji Inner Corridor, there were three people on the left and four on the right. A total of seven people were sitting around a rectangular office table. Their entire bodies were focused on an unusually clear image projected by the projector on the wall in front of them.
That image seemed to be a sea map that was marked with latitude and longitude, professional wind strength, wave height, and other professional data.
An ordinary-looking old man, who was wearing a well-ironed black suit with a copper bald eagle badge pinned on his chest, pointed his finger at a circled area on the sea chart and said aloud, "That's the area I was talking about just now, everyone.
When the US Coast Guard's Dolphin was searching for the missing Elizabeth Holiday last night, it was here that they discovered another 'new world'.
According to the previous experience, the Navy has done many experiments to prove that this circular area of about 16 square nautical miles is now connected to another world for some unknown reason. There are oceans, islands, and there should be continents too … "
"The third 'Geographical Discovery'!
Columbus discovered America in the Atlantic Ocean, and we, on the other hand, discovered two complete 'worlds' in the Atlantic Ocean. One of them is even near the open sea of New York, "A middle-aged black man wearing a fitted gray suit with a tall and thin figure said with a deep frown while sitting in the middle of the desk." This may be the shortcut for the US to maintain a strong national strength forever.
It could also be the omen of the destruction of mankind, whether it was because of the invasion of an unknown civilization or the internal strife caused by the competition for benefits …
Bob, what should we do? "
"Mr. President, we know very little about this new world. For the sake of caution, I can only suggest to follow the Shrimp World No. 1's practice and seal off the sea area that connects to this' world '…"
"That's easy. We can just find a random reason and we'll be able to do it. The difficult part is that there are more than 1,000 people on the Elizabeth Holiday who have just returned. We can't possibly isolate them forever for no reason.
If it's like what you said, and most of those people are children, then the country won't be able to sign a strict confidentiality agreement with them … "
"For this reason, we need your authorization, Mr. President, to erase the memory of everyone on this ship."
Upon hearing the Secretary of Defense's suggestion, the middle-aged black man suddenly opened his eyes with a horrified expression on his face. "Mr. Secretary of Defense, do you know what you're talking about?!
This is an abuse of state power! This is trampling on the US Constitution and human rights … "
"But it's the need of the US's national security and interests, Mr. President!" The old man said concisely and powerfully.
The United States of America, which was founded by the War of Independence and the true orthodoxy of the Civil War, had a tenacious and tough national characteristic since its birth.
Due to this characteristic, the pursuit of national security and national interests had long penetrated into every aspect of this country for more than 200 years.
In the US, it was impossible for any private or government public power to openly go beyond the boundaries of the law. However, once the words' national security 'and' national interest 'were involved, it would immediately become different.
Killing US citizens abroad who were suspected of being terrorists or accidentally killing innocent civilians in the action of eliminating the so-called 'national enemies', even if these acts could be called as blatant murders, as long as it was covered with the halo of 'national security' and 'national interest', most of the US people seemed to be able to face it calmly.
There was silence in the White House office. After pondering for three to four minutes, President Onama murmured, "After signing this authorization, I may be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever. This may even be the shame of the entire United States …"
"History is evaluated by future generations, Mr. President. Only a country that can maintain national security and core interests has history to speak of." When the president was hesitating, Henry T. Grace, the US Chief Defense Advisor who did not have much hair on his head but was combed very neatly, said in a low but decisive voice.
"God bless the US!" Upon hearing this, Onama's gaze gradually became firm. "Bob, use the most advanced 'gadgets' of your Department of Defense's Area 51 to erase the memory of those children and minimize the damage to their minds."
"I'll do my best to ensure this, Mr. President," The Secretary of Defense personally sent the authorization letter that had long been drafted to the president and replied solemnly.
A few hours later, at the dock of a secret US Navy military base in the Atlantic island, the Elizabeth Holiday gently swayed on the surging sea under the blowing of the evening wind.
In the bedroom of a luxurious suite in the cabin of the ship, Zhang Lisheng woke up from his sleep and looked at Tina, who was still sleeping soundly with her honey-colored soft skin. Rubbing his face, he quietly slipped down the heart-shaped huge waterbed and put on his pajamas to walk into the bathroom.
The bathroom was spacious. After turning on the light, the most eye-catching thing was the circular bath with a diameter of more than two meters in the middle.
After filling the bath full of hot water to wash off the sweet fragrance left on his body from indulgence just now, the young man composed himself and climbed out of the bath. Sitting by the pool, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and growled the Chinese word 'simplify' in a low voice.
When the black blood spurted out of Zhang Lisheng's mouth, it condensed in the air and floated into a ball. With a slightly pale face, the young man reached out his finger and dipped it into the blood stain in the air before writing the Chinese word 'simplify' on his chest.
After the witchcraft rune was formed, it immediately seeped into Zhang Lisheng's flesh and disappeared. At the same time, it gave him the strange ability to command the wizard gu with his mind and cast witchcraft incantations.
