Above the vast ocean.
An ocean liner was sailing slowly.
Above the empty sea, there seemed to be no other movement except for the ripples caused by the ocean liner passing through the sea.
A feeling of loneliness lingers in my heart.
This is a hurdle that all ocean voyageurs must inevitably face.
On the deck of the lonely ocean liner, Solomon Burke and Gino Peruzzi were chatting on the ship while enjoying the sea breeze.
"The sea area near that deserted island has now been taken over by our Yong Zhou personnel."
"However, given the fluidity of the seawater and the influence of many other factors, apart from the data I obtained yesterday, the subsequent research vessels will most likely not gain anything."
Burke looked at Peruz and said.
Today is the second day since the discovery of the giant monster codenamed Godzilla.
On the day of the discovery, he jumped into the seabed and collected some biological samples and seawater data in time. He also relied on ravens to start a formal data observation and research directly on the coast.
These data provide some support for Yong Zhou's research on the origin of Godzilla.
The Yongzhu team that arrived later could only collect some data on nuclear radiation. They have not yet discovered any more biological samples that may have been shed by the giant beast during its movements.
However, based on these sudden changes in nuclear radiation, it may be possible to search for Godzilla's movements with the help of ocean data monitoring devices in various locations.
"Your people came really quickly."
Peruz, who hadn't slept well all night, rubbed his temples and looked at Burke meaningfully.
The salty and humid sea breeze gradually woke Peruz from his sleepy state.
But there was still some fatigue revealed between his brows.
He really had a lot of random thoughts last night.
The super monster revealed its 100-meter tail, Burke went into the sea brazenly, ignoring the nuclear radiation, the raven turned into a microscope, the scientific research ship quickly arrived and blocked the sea area, and the ocean liner changed its itinerary to pick up people...
A lot of things happened yesterday, each of which was enough to make Peruz think deeply.
Looking at the boys and girls playing in the swimming pool not far away, Peruz couldn't help but envy the ignorance of these children.
These are the young people who went with him to a deserted island in the Pacific to study environmental changes.
They had no idea what the background of their captain Burke was, nor what the sudden arrival of this ship meant.
Moreover, it was because he had been staying in the jungle of the deserted island and had not witnessed any traces of the giant beasts that had appeared on the seashore.
They only knew that Captain Burke suddenly announced yesterday that the investigation and research would be stopped, and everyone would have ten times the paid vacation time as a reward to go on vacation to the East Asian island country.
Knowing that their "Blue Planet Environmental Protection Organization" is supported by many capital giants, these young people did not find anything strange about this matter.
Just happily playing in the swimming pool on the ocean liner.
But Peruz knew a lot.
Last night he used some of his connections to research the code name and itinerary of the ocean liner.
It turned out that the ocean liner's originally scheduled itinerary did not include passing by their deserted island and was even far away from it.
It was a completely spur-of-the-moment decision to come to the deserted island to pick them up.
Further careful investigation will reveal that the public capital behind the Blue Planet Environmental Protection Organization is completely unrelated to the capital behind this ocean liner.
It can even be said that the forces represented by the two capitals are in a state of competition in most areas, and there is a high probability that there will be no cooperation between the two.
It was hard to imagine why this ocean liner would suddenly turn around and pick up them, and then head to Japan, which was not the destination of the ocean liner, just to take them there.
This left him puzzled last night.
It was not until he traced his memory back a little further into the past that he suddenly discovered a point that he had previously forgotten.
He remembered coming out of the sea with a piece of scale armor that afternoon in Burke and dialing a number on the satellite phone in front of him.
The timing of this phone call coincided with the time when the ocean liner suddenly received instructions from its superiors to change its itinerary.
At this point, it's obvious.
Perhaps, Everday, to which Burke belongs, is really a super organization hidden behind the entire world, capable of influencing these two capitals.
Or perhaps, the capital behind the Blue Planet Environmental Protection Organization and the ocean-going cruise liners were actually just part of Yong Zhou's name.
Anyway, whatever is possible.
Burke must be no simple person, and the Everday organization behind him must also be no simple person.
The more he thought about it, the more horrified Peruz felt.
A big network seems to have enveloped and connected this world from behind.
"With our people in various places, we can ensure that the operations carried out in various places are as smooth and quick as possible."
"We are so powerful that it will be very convenient for you to carry out nuclear energy control and nuclear radiation cleanup work."
Burke replied with a small smile.
Peruz's shock is an experience that most people who have just learned about or joined Everday must go through.
Such a behemoth that spans the whole world and seems to be everywhere.
Such an organization possesses extraordinary power and does not seem panicked by the appearance of a hundred-meter-long beast.
It is like a superpower that only exists in movies and novels. In a sense, it is far superior to almost all countries. This is enough to make most people feel incredible.
"Well, I have gained some confidence in the nuclear radiation cleanup work I am responsible for."
Peruz nodded without hesitation.
Have confidence, it is inevitable.
Having agreed to become an outer member of Yong Zhou and vaguely seen some of Yong Zhou's strength, he understood that he was full of confidence at this moment.
This force might be better than the disintegrated country he once lived in.
If the Chernobyl incident happens again, it will only be under the management of such an organization and will not have much impact.
Perhaps there is hope for all of humanity to enter a new stage of nuclear energy control.
As he pondered, he couldn't help but ask a question he had wanted to ask since yesterday: "Regarding the giant beast that I caught a glimpse of in the sea yesterday, what are you going to do with it?"
"Don't we need to inform the top leaders of various countries?"
There was a glimmer of gloom in Peruz's eyes.
In fact, this was the main reason why he had been thinking about it all night.
This monster looked like Godzilla that had absorbed nuclear energy. Just seeing its hundred-meter-long tail made him shudder.
Compared to such a monster, the issue of nuclear wastewater seems not worth mentioning.
Facing such a monster, humanity may face an unprecedented crisis.
Even Peruz, who was on this ocean liner, was still afraid from time to time that a huge tail would capsize the ship.
The deepest fear of human desire is spreading.
If it weren't for the fact that Burke had remained calm from yesterday until now, Peruz dared to say that his legs would have been shaking.
“No need to notify the countries.”
"It's just a mouse that can run faster."
"When it shows its head, everything will be over."
Burke spoke his contemptuous words quietly.
Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically, this is one of the compulsory courses in Dawn Academy.
As an official member, Burke is naturally well aware of this.
From a long-term perspective.
Yong Zhou behind him gave Burke great confidence. Although he himself could not defeat such a huge monster, to Yong Zhou, this monster must be just an ant.
It has an inevitable end of destruction.
Judging from everything in front of me.
Burke has also done what he should do rigorously and seriously, whether it is collecting data in a timely manner or reporting information, he has completed it.
The rest of the members of Eternal Day were also carrying out the search mission for Godzilla seriously, and never relaxed for a moment.
All the relevant personnel of Yong Zhou worked hard to find Godzilla as soon as possible. After all, although this monster will definitely be destroyed, it is undeniable that it is likely to cause a lot of damage.
To despise is to despise, to value is to value.
This is also the reason why Burke is calm at this time.
Peruz, who had only seen a small part of the Eternal Daylight Iceberg, could never understand this.
But Peruz could sense a deep confidence from Burke's brief words.
Are there rats with tails that are a hundred meters long? Peruz pondered deeply, and in a trance he felt the true strength of Yong Zhou, which might be completely beyond his understanding.
At this moment.
The outdoor mobile TV on the deck urgently broadcast a piece of news.
On the TV screen, there was a huge monster occupying most of the screen, which was supposed to be a live broadcast of the person in charge of Japan's nuclear wastewater bowing and apologizing.
People passing by the TV were stunned, feeling as if they were watching a movie instead of a news channel.
But after changing channels repeatedly, I found that all channels were broadcasting this news.
Soon, everyone on the ship couldn't help but stare wide-eyed and gathered around the various televisions on the ship.
Some are shocked by the new version of this world.
Burke and Peruz also walked quietly to the TV, staring closely at the giant beast on the screen that was over 200 meters tall with its entire body exposed.
“Superb… is he really going to take the stage?”
Burke murmured.
He realized.
From this moment on, the whole world had some understanding of the extraordinary existence, or finally began to vaguely understand that this world was no longer the familiar one they knew.
Although Godzilla's incident may be explained away by nuclear radiation and various other reasons, the world is bound to be in turmoil.
From the Minai Island incident to the current Godzilla incident, there are more and more things that Everday cannot cover up for the time being.
The world has quietly entered an era of preparing to understand and welcome the extraordinary.
………………………………
Paris officially implements three-day rest system
"Prices of staple foods in the Europa Union system have fallen, with vegetables, fruits, beef and mutton all showing a downward trend"
Rome begins piloting more favorable education policies
"Milan and Athens officially announced that they will work together to pilot the construction of a new medical and health welfare system to maintain the health of citizens in the European Union system"
"Many Luxembourg laboratories jointly launched new civilian technologies to invest in the transportation industry, which is expected to have a cross-era impact on the people's livelihood treatment of the European Joint System"
Norway begins pilot implementation of new police system to create a more stable living environment
Mateo Adán, who was sitting in front of the computer, stretched out his body and smiled as he looked at the news page in front of him.
As a citizen of the European Union system, he now truly feels the changes in his life.
I don’t know when it started.
Everything around me seemed to be changing slightly.
Work, food, education, medical care, transportation, security... every aspect seems to have undergone an indescribable change without anyone noticing.
It seems that the entire capitalist society has suddenly become less profit-driven.
All welfare benefits are getting better.
The entire society is constantly progressing under the influence of some unknown driving force, and people's lives are also changing with each passing day.
Mateo Adan didn't know.
The changes in the entire European United System come from Eternal Day.
A large part of the better welfare benefits comes from the promotion of Eternal Day and the appearance of meteorite materials.
Another reason is that the upper echelons of the Europa United System received a report from Hansen, the head of the Supernatural Research Alliance.
In the report titled "Net", it describes in detail the various new challenges and threats that the new era will bring, including the impact of the emergence of the extraordinary system on the existing system, the impact of other countries' extraordinary powers on their own country, and whether humans can survive the threat of the so-called abyss in the future...
This made the top leaders of the European Union System think deeply: How far can this tattered and patched ship of the European Union System go in the new era? So in this new era, the European Union System, a big family with many loopholes, decided to unite once and for all.
Changes in people's livelihood and well-being are only part of this process of unity.
In fact, such changes in people's livelihood are not only occurring in the European Union system.
Such changes are very common among all the major countries that are aware of the situation.
Everyone is working hard to prepare for the new era.
Mateo Adán, who is already 50 years old, feels the real changes around him and watches the emotions of people from all over the world updated on the Internet.
I couldn't help but feel as if I had returned to a bygone era.
At that time, the two countries, both claiming to be great powers on the right track, competed for the task of leading human progress in a non-violent way.
Ignoring some negative impacts, the overall development of the human world is actually thriving.
It was an era of competing to see who was better.
All kinds of creative thoughts are unconstrained, social welfare and people's livelihood are getting better and better, and everyone is striving to become a leader in the progress of human society.
Everything was different afterwards.
The alliance collapsed and the beacon went out.
A worse era has emerged.
But now, for some reason, Mateo Adán felt as if he had returned to the era he had experienced before.
The feeling of prosperity fills the whole world somehow.
Mateo Adan is excited about this.
Although I don't know why this happens.
But he can feel the intersection of the times and enjoy the benefits that such changes bring to ordinary people like himself.
While thinking, Mateo Adán clicked the mouse and refreshed the news page in front of him.
The light from the new web page shone on Mateo Adán's face, revealing an obviously confused expression.
In the dim room with the curtains drawn, Mateo Adán's expression illuminated by the light looked a little funny.
"April Fools' joke?!"
Mateo Adan murmured in confusion.
He saw that the content of the niche news webpage he was browsing had suddenly changed.
Originally, the whole article here was about the international situation and social changes in Europe, and the headlines of the news were all about economy, medicine, law, work...
And now.
All columns on the webpage are reporting the same news: "Shock! Super monsters come to the island country", "Godzilla becomes real! The impact of nuclear radiation mutation", "On whether the combat effectiveness of modern military forces can look down on Godzilla!"
All of the monster titles, without exception, express the same meaning: a super monster resembling Godzilla has landed on the island country.
Mateo Adan couldn't help but remain silent at the news.
April Fools' Day has, of course, long passed.
Moreover, this news website has always been a privately operated website that Mateo Adan recognizes, and it never has any personal bias or falsification in its news reports.
But this kind of news is really hard to believe.
Reason made him subconsciously refresh the page.
Under the repeated refresh of disbelief.
What was refreshed were all new news about the monster Godzilla.
There are frame-by-frame screenshot analyses of the Godzilla monster, URLs for videos of Godzilla landing from different angles, and posts on various well-known forums discussing the incident...
When he tried to refresh the page again, the page turned into a short line of words: [404 NOT FOUND]
No matter how many times you refresh the page, you won’t be able to see any content on this website.
Mateo Adán could not help but remain silent for a long time.
His remaining sanity and worldview were about to collapse, so he quickly opened the friend group of the game he often played.
This group is full of senior military enthusiasts who play the same military game. Basically, no one in this group is a person who would joke around randomly, and they can get along very well with him, a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Mateo Adan tries to find the truth of the world.
But when he opened the group chat and saw the content of the chat, the last taut string of reason finally broke under the heavy burden.
[Galaxy Battleship 59 Kai]: It's broken, it's going strong. How come when I woke up, Godzilla has landed in a country that lives a good life? Could it be that those guys made it up to divert public opinion?
[Chicago Typewriter]: After watching various videos shot from multiple angles, I couldn't find any traces of editing or any loopholes. It basically doesn't look like a fake special effect.
[Dual-pulse engine]: It has now been confirmed. There are many videos from different angles. There are also many well-known journalists and big figures from that island country among the people who appear in the videos. It doesn't seem to be a fake.
[Tiger Tank]: The apology of the scum who discharged the nuclear wastewater was very popular, so reporters from all over the world from various channels, big and small, were broadcasting live, and many Internet celebrities also took pictures from a distance. So when Godzilla appeared on the screen, it really shocked me, who was watching the live broadcast, and I was completely stunned.
[Caliber is the key]: So how heavy is this size? (Godzilla roars.jpg) How hard is its skin? What caliber is needed to penetrate it? In the past, this group of friends would only post data comparisons to discuss various modern weapons, but now they are excitedly discussing the pictures of Godzilla posted in the group.
From time to time, some unblocked Godzilla video resource sharing URLs are sent to the group.
Such a scene left Mateo Adan silent.
He just thought that times were changing, and something that was only known at the national level was affecting every aspect of people's livelihood and welfare all over the world.
He just felt that the times were thriving.
But he didn't expect that such an outrageous thing would suddenly happen.
Could it be that the changes of the times also include this?
Or is it that the changes in the times are caused by this kind of thing?
There was a long silence, and Mateo Adán didn't know what to say.
At this moment, he just wanted to express his confusion on behalf of the people of the world:
ah??!!
When Earth OL is updated, why don’t you issue a collective announcement?
