Chapter 38: Everyone must be solved (Part 2)
On China's supernatural front, there is a legendary figure, a person whose name cannot even be mentioned.
That is Director Ma, the director of the Supernatural Phenomenon Processing Office affiliated to the central government and the theoretical supreme commander of the entire supernatural front.
However, the reason why he is famous in the circle is not mainly because of his leadership position, but because of some qualities that seem to be innate.
At this time, this famous man came to Shanghai and appeared in front of Wang Qiu and others.
Although the above-mentioned "cannot even mention the name" attributes sound a bit similar to Voldemort in "Harry Potter", according to Ms. Wang Meiling: "... How can a mere Voldemort be as cruel as our director?! That snake-faced guy is not the legendary Xiangrui!”
——According to the description of my mother Wang Meiling, the director of the Paranormal Phenomenon Handling Office is a well-known super auspicious person! Known as the reincarnation of the bad god, the whole person is made up of bad luck! Normally, it's fine, and it brings disaster to the people around you at most. But once you perform any tasks, especially those related to people who travel from another world, your bad luck will really cause chaos, and even God can't handle it. !
For example, once, there was a suspected monster infestation at an Antarctic scientific research station. Director Ma personally led a team to deal with it. After three months of trouble, the so-called monster did not even catch a hair, and it was not known whether it was frozen to death. . However, the Antarctic scientific research station suffered 9 consecutive fires, 5 earthquakes, 27 power outages, 4 collective food poisonings, and countless "auspicious" events that were unstoppable by human power. It was also said to be haunted many times, scaring the relevant departments into giving up. The scientific research station has now become the famous Antarctic Haunted House and one of the important attractions for polar tourism.
Later, another time, Director Ma fought for welfare for the unit and organized office staff to travel abroad at public expense to visit the Japanese scenery. As a result, the entire tour group had just boarded the flight back home, when a major earthquake and tsunami broke out in Japan, followed by the world-famous Fukushima nuclear crisis... After that, the Office of Supernatural Phenomenon Management organized annual overseas trips. , became a fixed benefit of the central government’s special subsidy. And Director Ma has become the ultimate decisive weapon in the eyes of some people. From time to time, he is sent to certain countries to sneak around for a few times - unfortunately, this trick does not work every time.
Next, during a mission, Director Ma unfortunately fell into a wormhole with his colleagues and traveled to the late Qing Dynasty, arriving in the era when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing. Others would be lucky to survive in such a situation, but as soon as Director Ma arrived there, the city of Beijing was engulfed in fire, followed by a ten-magnitude earthquake, a severe plague, and an earthquake bigger than a washbasin. Super hail and terrifying rumors of rats eating humans...
On the second night, another meteorite hit Tanggu Port, causing an unprecedented super tsunami to hit the entire Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, overwhelming the Far East fleets of Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries, as well as the Japanese combined fleet. Went to the beach and smashed it into countless pieces of scrap metal...
In short, when he finally waited for the wormhole to open again and returned successfully, the Zhili and Shandong provinces of the Qing Dynasty in that time and space had become purgatory, and Beijing, Tianjin, Lushun, Dalian, Weihai, and Qingdao were all in ruins. , the Eight-Nation Allied Forces almost became foreign beggars...
The series of earth-shattering achievements made by the Director of the Supernatural Phenomenon Processing Office made Wang Qiu astonished for a while. Then the next sentence that his mother Wang Meiling added made Wang Qiu unable to help but use foul language to greet the director's female relatives.
"...But unfortunately, just when Comrade Director successfully returned to the modern world, he accidentally brought back the smallpox virus that was supposed to have been extinct from that era, causing people all over the world to have to be vaccinated with cowpox again. China alone This cost hundreds of billions of yuan..."
"...No wonder three years ago, the entire city of Beijing was put under martial law, and then a nationwide cowpox vaccination was launched...At that time, the central government also deceived us that Middle Eastern terrorists had stolen the smallpox virus from the laboratory! It turned out that he created it all What a sin..."
Touching the scar on his arm, Wang Qiu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "...It's no wonder he doesn't want people to know his name - almost all mankind has been harmed by him! Once it is revealed, God knows how many people will gnash their teeth with hatred. Guy, I have to put a curse on him every day!”
What's even more terrible is that in addition to deliberately harming the opponents of all parties, many of our own people were also accidentally injured by Director Ma's terrible bad luck. For example, the colleague who traveled to the late Qing Dynasty with Director Ma was just glad that he was able to come back alive. Not only did he experience such an incredible adventure, but he also lost some parts... He soon became unlucky. , and he was very unlucky in the style of Korean dramas: he first discovered that his lover was his long-lost sister, and he also discovered that he was suffering from leukemia, and that sister was already pregnant with his child...
Hey, this is really heart-rending and tragic. Those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry!
——Director Ma, who knew that he had an auspicious constitution, organized a donation specifically for this unlucky guy in order to be able to live with his conscience.
In short, for such a living super plague god and a humanoid causal weapon, people in the know are absolutely afraid of it and avoid it - so it is no wonder that Wang Qiu's mother learned that this auspicious Lord has arrived. Sometimes, I would be so frightened that I would throw myself on the street with my liver trembling and my legs weak.
But no matter how auspicious or daunting this Lord Shuishen is, he is still the theoretical supreme commander of modern China's superpower front, the top person in charge of the Supernatural Phenomenon Processing Office under the Communist Party of China, and a He can be called a high-ranking provincial and ministerial-level leading cadre.
——Of course, according to Ms. Wang Meiling, although Director Ma is the theoretical top leader of China’s superpower front, he is actually only the top coordinator and has no control over many nominal subordinate units. However, for Wang Meiling, For low-level employees and interns like Wang Qiu, Director Ma is still a first-class big shot - in some other worlds, they may be "gods" who are admired by everyone, as well as high-ranking rulers, but in this world There is nothing in the world around me. In short, with the arrival of Director Ma, who wears thick myopic glasses and is as chubby as a panda, everyone must respectfully obey the instructions of this human-shaped auspicious person...

"...Please look at this photo. This is the latest mini-espionage submarine developed by our country!"
In a hastily cleaned small conference room, Director Ma solemnly took out a photo of a submarine from his briefcase and showed it with a slide projector for everyone to see, "...it uses a double-layer shell structure with a shell diameter of 5. 3 meters long, 36 meters long, with a diving depth of more than 250 meters, an underwater speed of not less than 17 knots, a crew of 10, and an autonomous underwater cruise time of 25 days. When sailing on the water at a maximum speed of 8 knots, the endurance can reach 1,850 nautical miles. According to the design, it can perform tasks such as reconnaissance, detecting mines, laying mines, using torpedoes and missiles to attack enemies in shallow water areas, and supporting frogman infiltration operations... This is our country. The latest military scientific and technological achievements are still in the testing stage and have not yet been put into mass production and official service.
However, in order to detect criminal traces of the Vladivostok Far East Company, after discussion and approval by relevant departments, the Navy mobilized a test boat of this type a few days ago to secretly bite the suspected cargo of the Vladivostok Far East Company in the waters outside the port of Yokohama, Japan. Arms smuggling ship...
However, what happened next completely exceeded the limit of everyone's imagination - a light group suddenly appeared on the sea. The Far East Company's ship and the Navy's mini-submarine disappeared together after sailing into the light group, and the signal was interrupted. Starting from the captain of the boat, Major He Chunping, and the captain of the Marine Corps Frogger Special Operations Group, Captain Liu Baoguo, the ten navy sailors, ten frogman special operations team members and the leading agent Comrade Zhou Billy were all missing... This unprecedented case has made The General Staff, the National Security Bureau, the Navy and other relevant units were all shaken by it, and even reached Zhongnanhai! ”
Speaking of this, Director Ma couldn't help but light a cigarette and sighed with a complicated expression. But then he changed the subject, "...but from your latest satellite images of the Vladivostok area in the late Ming Dynasty, the General Secretary of the People's Liberation Army The intelligence personnel of the General Staff found the missing mini-espionage submarine parked on the dock built by the group of traversers. It can be seen that the missing personnel of our army may have fallen into the control of the other party. "< br>
He took out another satellite photo from his briefcase. It showed the Golden Horn in Vladivostok (when Russia was building Vladivostok, it seemed that it wanted to build it into the "Constantinople of the East", so it used (with many Byzantine-style place names) on the shore, he drew a red circle on a small black dot, "...So, according to the spirit of the latest instructions conveyed and fed back by the Military Commission, we should deal with the problem in Vladivostok first..." < br>
"...Rescuing the missing naval comrades in Vladivostok is naturally our duty, but what should we do with the missing police comrades on Hainan Island?" Wang Meiling asked with a frown, "...Although we are now Guo Yi can be brought back, but Guo Yi is not the only government employee who was involved in the pursuit of the Hainan Island Crossing Group. The remaining ones are still on Hainan Island in that time and space!"
< br>
"...The situations between the two are completely different, Comrade Wang Meiling! The situation over in Vladivostok is obviously much more dangerous!"
After listening to Wang Meiling's question, Director Ma frowned and said, "...Isn't it written in the report you sent? Those comrades represented by Guo Yi who followed the Hainan Island Crossing Group and were trapped in the late Ming Dynasty , after recognizing the reality, he has integrated into the time-traveling group, and has been recognized by those people, and even held a real power position in their so-called "senator", at least being regarded as himself by other time-travelers. people In addition, judging from various performances, the Hainan Island Crossing Group certainly has the ambition to conquer the world, but there is no obvious evil tendency such as violence, killing and cannibalism. The collective will appears to be more civilized, sensible and gentle. . Even considering the most pessimistic scenario, at least until our arrival in that time and space is revealed, the lives of those comrades staying on Hainan Island should not be in danger for the time being
However, the situation in Vladivostok is completely different. We currently know almost nothing about the plans, ideas and goals of the Far East Company, a traversing group. It’s hard to tell whether they are a group of fanatical believers who have been bewitched by a doomsday cult, or whether they are anti-system rebels who are crazy and hate the government. Or, like the funny gang in Hong Kong, they have been brainwashed by hostile Western forces and are bent on destroying the world. China has become a white colonial fanatic group - if these guys are all occupying Vladivostok, the comrades of the People's Liberation Army who fall into their hands may be in a very worrying situation.
Even if the Vladivostok Far East Company does not have that heinous anti-civilization evil nature, but is just an adventure group and pioneer with similar goals to the Hainan Island Lingao Group, it is also possible that it is as keen on internal purges as the Japanese Red Army of the last century. A radical organization that fights against each other. In this situation where information is lacking and it is difficult to judge, the more day our comrades fall into their hands, the more danger they will face. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of those captured comrades and save their lives as much as possible, the central government asked us to deal with the Vladivostok issue first. What mistake is there? ”
At this point, Director Ma coughed dryly again, and continued to add in a serious tone, "...I know that thousands of people have traveled to the opposite world at once, where life and death are unknown, and the pressure of all aspects of the country is on your shoulders. Your current situation can be said to be a mess, and you simply don’t know where to start. But no matter how many difficulties there are and how complicated the situation is, we have to solve it one by one.
I know that with your current progress and location, it will definitely be more convenient to deal with the issue of Hainan Island first, and you can also make contact with several other crossing groups. But since the central government has given clear instructions to go to Vladivostok first, we have to obey the order..."
——The reasons are sufficient, reasonable and irrefutable...
Wang Qiu and others were all speechless by Director Ma for a while, so they had to **** and prepare to leave for Vladivostok in the late Ming Dynasty.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
But even so, there is still a rather troublesome practical difficulty that needs to be solved: how to get from Guangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty to Vladivostok?
You must know that the location where Wang Qiu and others entered the different world through the "Book of Time Travel" followed the "anchor coordinate" of Liu Chaozuo, the survivor of the infinite space, and this guy is now sitting in the Ziming Building on Huifu Street in Guangzhou . If Wang Qiu and the others wanted to detect the "enemy situation" in Vladivostok in the late Ming Dynasty, they would have to rush there with Liu Chaozuo. And the journey from Guangzhou to Vladivostok is more than a thousand miles? It almost spans the entire territory of modern China. Not to mention gas stations, there may not even be a safe stopping place along the way. The range of any current helicopter is simply not enough. What if we use a fixed-wing aircraft? There was no suitable airport to take off from near Guangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, and there was no way to land in Vladivostok...
What? Can you try taking a large seaplane, taking off from the Pearl River Estuary, and landing in the waters of the Sea of Japan outside Vladivostok Port? Hey, hey, not to mention whether the noise caused by this method is too big or whether it will cause any trouble. The current time and space of the late Ming Dynasty is the New Year season, and outside the port of Vladivostok are all large tracts of floating ice! Do you want your seaplane to crash into scrap on the hard ice?
As for using the [Bamboo Dragonfly] to fly there slowly, it is even less advisable - because the [Bamboo Dragonfly] is not fast. It takes at least several days to fly from Guangzhou to Vladivostok, which is not much faster than modern ships. ...But Guo Yi in Guangzhou couldn't hide it for so long! The [Random Door], which can theoretically reach the destination instantly, cannot be used for the time being because no data from the seventeenth century has been input and the terrain data does not match. After much deliberation, the helpless Wang Qiu had no choice but to open up his mind and decided not to take the usual path from now on, and take a half-day trip to space at public expense:
"...Mom, I really can't think of any other way. You'd better move out the [Space Lifeboat]! Let's take the satellite orbit to Vladivostok!"
