Chapter 296 Something Big is About to Happen
Chapter 296 Something Big is About to Happen
Oriental City.
Early in the morning.
"Dingling~"
The alarm clock rang.
Anthony resisted the urge to sleep and reached out to turn off the alarm on his cell phone next to his pillow.
He looked at the ceiling of the hotel room, confusion written all over his eyes.
Where is this place?
Anthony blinked his eyes, and his brain started to work again. Then he remembered that this was not his hometown, Ilet, but a distant city in the East.
He sat up from the bed and muttered, "I can't sleep anymore. I have to go investigate Dongfang City today."
This is a request from the board.
He had to produce a report to the board of directors in three days, or he might lose this well-paid job.
Anthony got out of bed and walked to the bathroom in his slippers.
He stared at himself in the mirror and immediately saw the slightly swollen bags under his eyes and tiny bloodshot eyes.
He didn't sleep well yesterday.
Because in the middle of the night, the alarm went off twice.
The first time Anthony heard the "wailing" alarm, he was so scared that he jumped off the bed and hid under the table in the corner of the room.
He called the front desk tremblingly and heard the calm voice of the other party: "Sir, a snow monster appeared nearby. The authorities will deal with it in a minute at most. You can rest assured."
Anthony hung up the phone, wanting to curse.
There were snow monsters near the hotel, but they still let me rest in peace. Was this kidding?
In his hometown of Yilete, it is common for snow monsters to break into residents' homes and kill civilians. People die at the hands of snow monsters almost every day.
Although the official statistics given by Yilait are that more than 2000 people have been killed by the yeti so far.
However, many people do not believe the official figures.
Because of a road near Anthony's home, a very horrific yeti murder case occurred.
A large snow monster suddenly appeared on this road in the evening.
This yeti looks like a cow and is an astonishing four meters long.
The bull monster was rampaging on the road, ramming passing vehicles crazily.
With its huge body and weight of several tons, it can easily knock a car several meters away.
After the collision, the bull monster will raise its front hooves and madly trample on the overturned car, crushing the passengers in the car alive.
Before the army arrived, the bull monster had killed at least fifty civilians.
When the bull monster was killed, Anthony bravely went over to watch and witnessed with his own eyes the blood flowing out of a crushed car and being frozen into blood ice by the low temperature.
Just one bull monster can kill so many people. The entire land area of Yilete is more than 500,000 square kilometers. How many snow monsters will be born in such a vast area?
How many more snow monsters will appear in cities or villages, and how many people will they kill?
Therefore, the figure of more than 2000 deaths must be false data released by the authorities in order to appease the public.
Anthony felt that the actual number was probably no less than 50,000.
Yilait's current total population exceeds 80 million. It is not surprising that 50,000 people died, and even 100,000 is not impossible.
And the front desk clerk of this hotel actually let him sleep so peacefully. It was so irresponsible!
but.
Anthony was greatly surprised by how things turned out next.
After only a few dozen seconds, the shrill "wailing" alarm stopped and it became quiet outside again.
Feeling a little puzzled, he called the front desk again to inquire about the yeti.
The front desk replied: "Sir, the snow monster has been killed by the Daxia military."
Anthony was surprised: "So fast?"
Seeing that he didn't quite believe it, the receptionist said, "You can use your phone to download an app called 'Daxia Tian Disaster Forecast'. It has a 'Real-time Report of Nearby Disasters' column, where you can check the official detailed handling of the incident."
Anthony was skeptical. He picked up his phone and fiddled with it for more than ten minutes, finally downloading the software.
The reason why it took so long is that the download platform is the Daxia platform, everything is in Daxia language, and there is no foreign language version.
The interface of the Daxia disaster forecast is also in Daxia language.
With his level of Da Xia language, it was quite difficult to use it.
Anthony couldn't help but mutter, "The Daxia people are too arrogant and not friendly to foreigners at all."
He could only use translation software and figure it out as he translated.
After struggling for a while, he finally found the real-time broadcast section mentioned by the front desk.
Based on the location of the mobile phone, the system automatically displayed the disaster that occurred near the hotel and the official handling of the snow monster.
Anthony clicked it and took a quick look, skipping over the long text reports and looking at the animated pictures below.
This is exactly the footage captured by the drone.
The first animated image shows a wriggling mass of snow emerging from an alley.
This is obviously a snow monster.
The yeti is not big in size and looks like a dog, the so-called "snow dog".
In urban areas, snow monsters such as snow cats and snow dogs account for the majority, and the threat is not that great.
There are all kinds of snow monsters in the wild.
The second dynamic picture shows several drones circling the snow monster from all directions.
The drone seemed to make some loud noise, but the Snow Dog kept looking up at the drone and did not run around attacking civilians.
The third dynamic picture shows a black spot on the ground, and the snow dog has disappeared.
Anthony finally believed what the receptionist said: "Did the snow dog get burned to death?"
He was amazed at this: "It took only a few dozen seconds to kill the snow monster. The efficiency of the Daxia people is really high.
"No wonder the front desk is so calm. No wonder all the Shapudians want to move to Dongfang City. Daxia is considered the safest country on Canglan Star."
A snow monster that randomly appeared in Dongfang City was quickly killed by the Daxia military, which shows that the Daxia people have developed and deployed a super-efficient system.
This system integrates functions such as search, identification, early warning, and elimination.
What’s even more amazing is that it’s not just Dongfang City, the entire vast land area and huge population of Daxia are all tightly protected by this system.
It is conceivable that the number of civilians who died in Daxia because of the snow monster must be very small.
Anthony secretly compared the two and sighed, "The technological level of the Daxia people has left the Gameni people behind."
In the media of the Western Hemisphere, the Jameini Federation is still the world's technological highland and an object of study for countries in the Western Hemisphere.
But Anthony knew that the media was not telling the truth at all and had been deliberately ignoring the achievements made by Oriental Daxia.
He was full of envy: "It would be great if Elite also had this system."
But he understood that the people of Daxia would never sell this system to Yilait.
After all, Ilet is still an ally of the Jamenians, and a large number of Ilet senior officials are die-hard fans of the Jamenian Federation.
Anthony lay back down on his bed and tossed and turned for nearly an hour before he fell into a deep sleep.
however.
Not long after he fell asleep, the alarm sounded again.
Another snow monster appeared nearby.
This snow monster happened to be on the street right in front of the hotel.
Anthony bravely opened the curtains a little and peeked at the snow monster through the glass.
This time it was a snow deer.
He witnessed the entire process of the drone swarm dealing with the snow monster.
The loudspeaker carried by the drone made a strange "sizzling" sound, which sounded a bit like sawing wood, but much harsher than sawing wood.
The yeti seemed to be attracted by the "sizzling" sound, and it kept spitting out ice balls to attack the drone.
But the drone was very agile and all the ice pellets missed its target.
The two drones flew low, constantly moving the snow deer in circles to prevent them from running into surrounding buildings. A few seconds passed.
A drone suddenly flew out from a hidden angle and swooped down towards the snow deer.
When it was about ten meters away from the snow monster, it dropped a black object and then quickly pulled it up.
"boom!"
Just heard a muffled sound.
The snow monster was hit by the projectile.
The thrown object exploded with a "puff" and instantly turned into a large ball of strange pale flame, wrapping the snow monster.
In the blink of an eye.
The flame went out.
The snow deer disappeared without a trace.
Anthony was shocked and countless questions popped up in his mind.
What kind of flame is this?
He had seen a video online of a firebomb attack on a yeti. Although the yeti's entire body was burning, it still struggled for a long time before turning into a pool of water.
In contrast, the flame killed the yeti in an instant.
Anthony could naturally see that the strange bomb dropped by the drone must be a special weapon developed by the Daxia people against the snow monsters.
He couldn't sleep after seeing it, so he contacted a friend who worked in the military industry in China and asked him if he knew what kind of weapon it was.
But my friend couldn’t explain it.
Anthony thought about it and simply called the front desk again and asked the same question.
Unexpectedly, the receptionist actually knew the answer: "Sir, this bomb is called a 'white flame bomb'. It is said that the core ingredient is a rare extract from the Red Fire Coal Mine."
Anthony murmured a few words of "red fire coal", remembering that this was a special mineral deposit that was born after the era of superpowers.
He sincerely felt that the people of Daxia were very smart.
Anthony then asked, "Where did you get this information?"
The receptionist smiled and said, "This is the information that the people of Daxia have said. More than one million people in the entire Dongfang City know it."
Anthony was thoughtful.
He had a guess: "It must be very difficult to extract this special substance from red fire coal. It is probably difficult for other countries to do it, so the people of Daxia directly announced the information to the public."
Because he was woken up twice in a row, he didn't fall asleep until around four in the morning and woke up again at eight in the morning.
The total sleep time was no more than five hours, so of course he was listless.
"drop!"
There was a slight sound of scanning the code, and hot water flowed from the faucet in the sink.
This is charged hot water, 2 yuan per minute.
of course.
The Daxia National ID card is free.
Anthony was too lazy to complain about this discrimination against people who were not from Daxia.
He washed up quickly and spent 50 summer yuan on breakfast at the hotel.
This price is not low.
If it wasn't a business trip, everything could be reimbursed, and Anthony really couldn't bear to do it.
In fact.
Ever since the Blue Star entered the era of natural disasters, the exchange rate of Xia Yuan has been rising rapidly.
Take the exchange rate of Xia yuan to Jammu and Kashmir yuan as an example.
Before the natural disaster, the ratio was 1 to 4.4, that is, 1 Jamaican dollar could be exchanged for 4.4 Xia dollars.
By now the exchange rate has soared to 1 to 1.8, more than doubling.
For foreigners, the most intuitive feeling is that Daxia’s goods are becoming more and more expensive.
Behind the changes in exchange rates, the fact is that Daxia's strength is essentially increasing rapidly.
Daxia is the first industrial country on Canglan Star. Natural disasters have severely damaged the industries of other countries. Now only Daxia has the ability to supply goods to the world.
The whole world cannot do without Daxia. Even if the prices of Daxia products increase, they can only accept it with a pinch of their nose.
eight thirty.
Anthony got into the taxi he had booked last night.
He chartered the car for a whole day and took the opportunity to carefully inspect the situation in Oriental City.
This driver will not only be a driver, but will also serve as a guide for this inspection.
The driver steered the car forward and said, "Sir, since you want to set up a company in Dongfang City, I suggest you pay attention to the press conference of the Pioneer Alliance tonight."
Anthony was stunned.
This was the second time he heard the word press conference. The first time was on the bus from the airport to the city.
He said, "I heard that Daxia Ghost will attend the press conference in person. This big shot should have some important information to announce, right?"
The driver nodded. “It is said to be very big news.”
The driver said "very big" twice in a row, which shows his opinion on the matter.
The driver gave a piece of evidence: "I also heard that at least 2000 Daxia superpowers came here in the past few days."
Anthony was a little surprised: "So many?"
He became more and more curious: "What on earth is going on? Why are the people of Daxia making such a big fuss?"
The driver laughed and said, "Sir, I'm just a taxi driver. How can I know so much?"
The driver revealed another piece of gossip: "I picked up two passengers the day before yesterday, and they told me that the Great Xia Ghost had entered the Black Sand Sea of Death a few days ago."
Anthony immediately understood what the other party meant: "The content of the press conference may be related to this matter?"
The driver nodded and said, "It's very likely! The two guests also said that the Great Xia ghost brought back a lot of things from the Black Sand Sea of Death."
Anthony immediately became interested: "I will definitely watch the press conference at 8 pm."
After a while.
The taxi turned a corner.
The driver glanced forward and slowly stepped on the brake with his right foot: "It seems the road ahead is closed."
Anthony's eyesight was sharper, and he could see the people in front of him clearly: "There are so many Daxia soldiers, probably preparing for the press conference."
The driver nodded and said, "It should be."
He turned the steering wheel slightly: "Sir, we have to take a detour."
Anthony said, "Then go around."
The taxi drove to within about ten meters of the soldiers and turned onto a small road.
Anthony turned his head and glanced at the Daxia soldiers in front of him. He felt his brain shake and his eyes suddenly widened.
He saw a dreamy and graceful figure.
This is a female soldier from Daxia.
Her facial features are extremely delicate, making her a rare beauty, yet she gives people a heroic feeling.
This is a very rare trait.
When Anthony saw it for the first time, he felt a strong sense of amazement.
Even after the taxi drove away, he still felt absent-minded.

the other side.
Zhao Xiaoying turned her head to glance at the rear of the taxi and frowned slightly.
Just now she sensed that someone in the car was staring at her.
The long-legged girl thought about it, reached out and pulled up her mask, and ordered: "Check the taxi just now."
The soldier next to him immediately responded: "Yes!"
