Chapter 089 The oversized seafood is automatically delivered to your door, dear
The sky was still clear in the morning, but large dark clouds appeared at some point. Looking at Rand sitting in front of him, Mu Feng, who had only calmed down after drinking three cups of tea, finally spoke slowly.
"Have you...really decided?"
"Yes, senior brother."
Rand, who had not returned to the gym for five days, sat upright opposite the tea table, lowering his head slightly.
The gloomy light outside the window cast a shadow on his back, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. Only his slightly hoarse voice continued to say firmly:
"I have thought about it carefully. After all, the army is more suitable for me. Besides, the recruitment of the army is not so easy to refuse. I plan to report in the afternoon."
After staring at the junior brother in front of him for a long time, Mu Feng finally put down the empty tea cup, sighed, and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Okay...I respect your choice. As a senior brother, I can't help you..."
Rand suddenly raised his head.
"Senior brother, it has nothing to do with that! I grew up in the gym since I was a child. This is my home, so I have never cared about that!"
Seeing the bloodshot eyes of his junior brother, Mu Feng frowned immediately. However, the thoughts that were turning around and the thousands of words in his heart were completely unable to be expressed, and in the end he could only turn into a long sigh.
"That's all..."
He stood up slowly, took out a simple sheathed dagger from the wooden stand next to him, which was more like a long dagger than a sword. He slowly placed it in front of Rand's eyes and pushed it gently.
"In that case, bring Po Jun with you!"
"…good"
After a brief conversation, Rand left with the dagger.
Standing at the window on the third floor, watching the retreating figure of his junior brother, Mu Feng, who had quit smoking for more than 20 years because he promised his wife back then, suddenly couldn't help but want to smoke a cigarette.
But in the end, he shook his head and looked at the dim sky.
The storm is really coming...
Economy, politics and military have always been interrelated and influenced each other.
The current economic situation is obviously very bad.
The blockade of shipping by those mutated creatures in the sea continues.
After losing nearly one-tenth of its ships in a row, the global maritime trade system had to surrender to the monsters, with transportation volume plummeting to one percent of the previous level.
Huge economic losses, interruption of foreign trade, political and social turmoil caused by mutations...
Taken together, many countries are already experiencing signs of a serious financial crisis, or even a food crisis.
Coupled with the pressure brought by sporadic outbreaks of human mutation events, countries have almost unanimously strengthened their overall armaments.
The most direct consequence of this approach is that the atmosphere among human countries has become increasingly tense.
After all, the root causes of wars are almost all economic issues. The fundamental purpose of human beings in launching wars is to compete for more people, property and control of land resources.
Therefore, the most direct way to make up for your own losses is always to grab it!
Even if a country like the United Inuit, which is rich in resources, has a large population, and is fully capable of converting into internal circulation, does not want to rob others, it will still worry about being targeted by other hungry wolves.
To this end, the United States, while improving the defense of its borders, began to expand its military on a large scale.
Military expansion can not only enhance the country's overall combat effectiveness, but also absorb the unemployed people in society and help maintain social stability.
And retired officers like Rand will not be let go by the military.
Let these people with fierce fighting qualities wander around in society, and once the situation is turbulent, they will be an absolute factor of instability.
But after recalling them, whether they are assigned to new recruits as officers or returned to their original units, the strength of the army will be greatly improved.
However, what this kind of recruitment represents is really hard to make people feel at ease...
"It seems that I have to go back and tidy up the house in the satellite city when I have time."
Mu Feng muttered to himself, and then he suddenly thought of Meng Jie, a restless junior, and frowned.
"Second Senior Brother and the others are targeting Ivan. What are they going to do? What's going on with the so-called [Peeping God No. 1] project?"
Thinking about this national red-level top-secret project, even if he mobilized all his connections, he only got to know the name of it in the end, he was filled with pressure.
It is really not easy to get your son-in-law out of such a super project that will definitely cost the country.
So after clearing his hands, he could only use all his strength while silently praying that the news he had recently received was true, and that the senior management of the council had a tendency to give up on the goal of Ivan.
Otherwise, no matter how hard he works, once the council makes the final decision and submits it to the president, everything will really be irreversible...
Ai Wen, who is far away in the classroom, is still unaware of the efforts made by the museum leader.
While he was in class, he continued to spy on the female teacher Meng Jie's spy operations.
After yesterday's candlelight dinner, today the pair of online dating contestants are meeting at the beach in Changhe City.
As the mouth of a river, the most important thing in the core of this county is the beach.
Although the seaside park they chose is not big, it is very well designed, coupled with the blue sea and sky in front of them, and the soft sand under their feet... Even if the temperature is too low to go into the water, the scene is still fascinating.
Feeling relaxed and happy.
The only thing that's a bit disharmonious is the cluster of freighters in the distance.
Because there is a medium-sized cargo port less than a kilometer away from this small seaside park.
At this time, countless port workers were busy loading and unloading cargo.
Unlike those ocean ports that are generally shut down during holidays, this medium-sized port that specializes in domestic and offshore lines has become busier than ever due to the United States' economic strategy of switching from foreign trade to domestic sales.
Countless small and medium-sized offshore cargo ships line up in long queues to unload cargo from distant places, then load up new goods and head to the south and north of the United States.
However, there seems to be some trouble with the freighter queuing up today.
A small cargo ship that was on the outermost side of the entry port and had just arrived this morning suddenly felt its ship shake suddenly, and there was a loud noise from the bottom of the ship, as if it had hit a reef.
but…
Where did the reef come from?
The captain strangely turned on the underwater detection sonar that had been turned off, and found that there was actually a large shadow under his boat.
"What is this?!"
Looking at this huge shadow that was more than 20 meters long and more than half the length of his freighter, the captain suddenly panicked.
Could this size be that of a giant whale?
But this is offshore! How could a giant whale come here?
Before he could think of what to do, the boat suddenly shook violently again, and then he heard someone at the bottom of the boat shout heartbreakingly:
"The bottom of the ship is leaking! Close the sealing valve quickly!"
Turbulent water began to pour into the bottom compartment, and the entire ship began to tilt.
Then, the unknown entity that launched the attack did not give a group of panicked crewmen a chance to make amends, and once again slammed into the slightly tilted cargo ship from the side!
With the huge wound torn open again, the freighter began to slowly topple over with groans!
This scene immediately shocked the other ships queuing up next to them.
However, before these ships could figure out what was happening, another ship felt a sudden shaking at the bottom of the ship.
"There's something in the sea!"
Some brave sailors with good eyesight finally discovered the huge shadow flying rapidly underwater.
Under their shocked gaze, the water surface gradually parted, revealing a row of terrifying bony dorsal fins covered with tumors and blood-red eyes...
"Weird, monster!"
The sailors screamed one after another, and with their terrified screams, the mutated creature that was destroying the ship finally surfaced completely.
From the outline, it looks very much like the common swordfish in the sea.
A fish with a "spear" on the front of its head that can swim quickly in the water.
but...
A normal swordfish is only over two meters long at most, but this obviously mutated giant swordfish is definitely over 20 meters long!
And it is not only destroying ships, but also killing and devouring humans who have fallen into the water.
Arriving next to the drowned crew member, the swordfish suddenly stretched out countless ferocious tentacles from its belly and began to wrap around the poor crew member who couldn't resist at all.
The terrifying spiral mouthparts on the black and purple tentacles can bite the entangled target full of holes in an instant. With the scarlet color spreading instantly, the entangled guys have become silent one after another!
Such a terrifying scene immediately caused the crew on the freighter to completely panic.
Some freighters began to sound the alarm to warn the port, some people also began to call the local police station, and some freighters tried to escape. However, in the absence of unified dispatch, various collisions inevitably occurred soon, and the entire
There was instant chaos in the port.
"Oh my god, what's going on over there?"
On the beach, a man and woman who were taking a romantic walk suddenly became confused when they saw the freighters crashing into bumper cars on the sea in the distance.
But soon, the sharp-eyed Mengjie quickly discovered the huge creature wreaking havoc in the sea.
"Mutated monster!"
Faced with the unexpected special situation, she couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, because various countries have been trying their best to block relevant information, she has not had time to pay special attention to this aspect recently, so this is the first time she has seen these mutated sea monsters with her own eyes, which has left various countries helpless and caused heavy losses.
For those who have not experienced it personally, it is difficult to imagine what it would feel like when a ferocious sea monster with deformed bone spurs all over its body, blood-red eyes and terrifying tentacles appears nearby.
It was like an evil nightmare in the darkest dream, crawling out of the abyss, revealing the ultimate evil and madness.
The fear stemming from human instinct made Mengjie's scalp suddenly numb, and she even had the urge to turn around and run away.
Compared with the female detectives who have gone through rigorous training, Xu Huang, a second-generation rich man, is even more unbearable.
Seeing the monster that was devouring and killing people and dyeing the sea water scarlet, he almost sat down on the ground, causing the bodyguards around him who were pretending to be ordinary passers-by to almost rush out.
However, considering that the monsters in the sea should not be able to reach the shore, after some hesitation, the bodyguards finally chose not to expose themselves.
This immediately made the female teacher who was secretly observing them breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s okay, the show can still go on and it doesn’t collapse!
