Chapter 75 75: Lurking
Carlos has no desire for money, all he has is an objective need.
Although the cost of community college is relatively low, Dana has been away from learning for too long. She needs to attend a training class first, start from the basics, and then enter community college to see if she can enter the formal education. University.
After all these expenses are calculated, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan.
So, he needs a stable way to make money, and the salary should not be low, and it should not be unreasonable.
The combination of these two requirements is simply a fantasy for a person of Carlos's background.
But all this can be done slowly. Tuition fees do not have to be collected in one day. It is a long process.
Making money by cheating is not a long-term solution. It won’t take long for those people to figure out his tricks, and they may cause unnecessary trouble.
His plan is to work as a construction worker, commonly known as moving bricks.
The only disadvantage is that you may have to travel around. The advantage is that the salary is not low. After all, it is hard-earned money.
It's just that this job is simply not suitable for him who has [strange strength] and [rigid body].
The Holy Body of Cow and Horse the day after tomorrow.
The brother and sister rented a house near the suburbs and bought a second-hand car to travel to and from work.
My sister usually works in a nearby supermarket, studies by herself when she has time, and occasionally goes to training classes.
At a certain construction site in the city, Carlos was spotted by a small construction contractor, or foreman, through his amazing strength and sincere attitude, and he began his career moving bricks.
He enjoys this peaceful life where he has a job and can create social value.
Even though he knows that with the power he has now, as long as he is willing, he will have endless money to spend.
But that's different.
He prefers to choose the peace now, which can comfort his guilty heart.
Bang——
On the fishing boat, the cockpit finally could not withstand the violence and was twisted and damaged. The people inside completely lost the last safety barrier.
“Hiha!”
The aliens filed in amidst screams.
In a moment, the few people inside were all suppressed to the ground, trembling, and did not dare to make any more noise.
Obviously, it is less than half a day away from the land.
The captain had even notified the company and officials to report that someone on the ship was going crazy.
But because he didn’t take any video, the other party believed his words with suspicion. Originally, the captain wanted to find an opportunity to open the door and take a picture.
But before he could make up his mind, the door was broken open, and what came in was not the madman he thought, but terrifying monsters!
I was completely under control.
The captain was heartbroken.
The hand that was pressed down only had time to blindly type the word "monster" and send it.
The door.
The aliens made way for a passage, and the one-eyed alien "Queen" slowly walked in.
The huge body and ferocious exoskeleton make it difficult for people to breathe.
I saw its mouth move and uttered words that were difficult to distinguish: "Listen to me and you can live."
The captain was stunned.
This monster can actually communicate.
Although his intuition told him that it was best not to trust such a monster, in his current form, he did not dare to say no.
In the corridor, weird bugs crawled in and jumped directly on the faces of those ignorant people.
“Woohoo!”
Being controlled, they were unable to struggle and soon fell into coma.
Except the captain and helmsman.
The remaining strange bugs looked at the two of them, as if they wanted to choose one to ride on, but in the end they turned around and left reluctantly.
The captain was sweating profusely and felt that it was a beautiful thing to be able to breathe air. He and the helmsman looked at each other, and looking at his eyes, he probably thought the same thing.
"What do you want us to do?"
This monster deliberately left the two of them behind. It must not be too smart. I hope it can really leave a way to survive.
"Send me and the children to safety on land."
The captain struggled to understand its words, his hands and feet were cold. Doesn't this mean that he will become a traitor to mankind? !
Sending such a monster safely to land, God knows how many people will suffer.
"Okay." The captain lowered his head slightly and gave the helmsman a subtle wink.
Before the latter had time to look back, a strange insect turned around and pounced on his face, making him struggle and scream.
"It's almost time to be alone." The Alien Queen stared at him with her one eye.
The captain lowered his head, trembling and not daring to make any other moves.
At night.
An ocean-going fishing vessel forcibly broke into the port of Maicheng without any application or diversion, crashed, ran aground, and overturned.
When rescue arrived, not even a single survivor could be found.
The surveillance video inside the ship was retrieved and found to have been vandalized.
Monitoring man-made sabotage, the fishing boat was strange and unoccupied, and the captain of the fishing boat once reported the presence of monsters on the boat. The combination of these three information quickly attracted the attention of the Unroutine Situation Investigation Bureau, which believed that it was probably related to the supernatural mystery. , so Jamie Walton, who had just returned to China to recover from his injuries, was sent to lead the investigation.
The tourist resort at this time is still a peaceful scene.
"After overnight searches and port surveillance, it has been determined that there are no survivors on this ship, but a large amount of blood and blood-stained sharp weapons were found inside the ship."
"The section where the fishing boat entered the port waters , with the obvious intention of switching course, but finally chose the port direction and crashed into it at full speed."
"Perhaps, at this moment, the captain or the helmsman is still alive?"
Jay? Mi has not received professional criminal investigation training, so although this investigation is nominally led by him, in fact, he is only leading part of the task of fighting Chaofan. Regarding the investigation, he plays more of a advisory role.
Listening to the discussion between the two vice-captains, he also had a rough outline of what happened.
A fishing boat returning home once reported that it had discovered a strange fish. Within a day, it urgently reported that someone was going crazy and attacking others. Not long after that, it lost contact. Before losing contact, it sent the word "monster" to the company. . And chose to hit the port. In the end, the fishing boat did not find any survivors or even corpses.
It feels like watching a disaster horror movie.
If the plot continues, the next person to die will be the official who comes to investigate.
Of course Jamie would not hate saying such things.
"Assuming that the monster is the strange fish, is there any undersea search underway near the sunken ship?" Jamie interjected.
A vice-captain glanced at him and nodded: "The underwater patrol has been arranged, but no valuable feedback has been obtained so far."
As expected, Jamie knew that his thinking was not as thorough as theirs, so he should wait until the battle to show it. It works.
“We are now suspicious in two directions.”
“Since this monster can indirectly or directly control the ship to hit the port, it shows that it is somewhat intelligent.”
“ And the purpose of coming here should also be to 'eat'."
"Either sneak attacks when there are few people, sacrificing efficiency for safety, or directly attacking crowded places, sacrificing safety for efficiency."
"Coupled with the high probability of monsters being aquatic, we tend to Monsters will attack these locations.”
Jamie took the tablet and looked at the map, guessing that the locations were basically concentrated in suburbs and tourist beaches.
"Should we evacuate early?" Jamie asked.
The two vice-captains looked at each other with a strange expression: "Captain Jamie, we cannot reveal the existence of this monster to the public for the time being. That will cause unnecessary panic and affect our 'case-solving' process. .”
"Moreover, if we conduct an evacuation now, no one will think that we are doing it for their own good. Instead, it may damage the interests and freedoms of some people and trigger protests. Therefore, we will only take measures as soon as possible when things happen in public view." , That is the perfect reaction.”
“Even if it may involve sacrifice.”
Hearing this, Jamie smiled.
Tell me earlier, I know this question.
“What people need is that they feel they are protected.”
