Chapter 99 San Francisco Incident
A postmodern style cafe on the streets of San Francisco.
The man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt was sitting in the corner of the cafe, with his left hand in his pocket and his right hand wearing a black glove, gently tapping the keyboard of the laptop in front of him.
A handsome face hidden under the shadow of a hood was full of weirdness and excitement.
It was Lin Zhongtian who entered the third metal door.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
"This is actually the world of "Godzilla"!"
A smile appeared on Lin Zhongtian's face, and he followed his gaze to the screen of his laptop. He saw a video shot from an upward angle playing on it. In the video, a giant beast that covered the sky and was almost as tall as a tall building was fighting against Fight another giant beast in the city.
The former is the protagonist of the 2014 version of "Godzilla".
The latter is the villain in the play, Godzilla's old enemy-Muto.
Muto is the original monster in the Godzilla series of movies. It has a triangular head and jaw, glowing red eyes, two pairs of huge forelimbs in front of its body, and shorter secondary arms growing on its chest and abdomen. It is close to insects, and its actual habits are somewhat similar to insects.
It feeds on radioactive energy, so it will lay eggs inside Godzilla's body. The larvae will grow and develop using the atomic furnace inside Godzilla's body as nourishment. After hatching, they will kill the host. The ancient animal in the opening of the 14th version of Godzilla Godzilla was parasitized by Muto's egg and died.
Therefore, it is generally believed that Muto was Godzilla's old enemy in ancient times.
In the first Godzilla movie series, two MUTOs, one male and one female, built a nest to lay eggs near Chinatown in San Francisco, and had a head-on confrontation with Godzilla who came across the Golden Gate Bridge. After a battle, Godzilla With the help of humans, he successfully killed two MUTOs, leaving the city in ruins and dived into the sea alone to disappear.
Five years have passed since the "San Francisco Incident".
San Francisco, which was originally in ruins, has regained its vitality due to human efforts.
High-rise buildings are rising, the economy is recovering steadily, and everything seems to be moving in a better direction.
But in any case, after all, it has only been five years since the San Francisco incident, and the impact left behind is still continuing to ferment.
Lin Zhongtian traveled across space coordinates and landed in the new slums of San Francisco. Most of the people inside were poor people affected by the monster war five years ago.
Some of them lost their houses, some lost their jobs, and some even lost family members and parts of their limbs.
Fortunately for the former, as long as San Francisco is rebuilt and the city is in dire straits, sooner or later they will be able to find jobs and start over.
However, those who have lost the ability to work due to this matter can only survive by receiving government relief funds. Some people may not even be able to keep the relief funds issued by the government.
Lin Zhongtian happened to encounter this scene when he traveled through time.
Four able-bodied black youths are robbing two elderly people of their relief funds.
Without any hesitation, Lin Zhongtian immediately stepped forward to stop them, but who would have thought that the four black men not only did not stop, but even dared to attack his fists with their own faces.
In desperation, Lin Zhongtian could only choose to defend himself, fight back, and give them a baby-like sleep.
After sending away the two old men who kept saying thank you with a smile, Lin Zhongtian read the memories of the four black men, and then learned about the monster war that took place in San Francisco five years ago.
But the four black men were hiding in the basement at the time and did not witness the battle between the monsters.
So Lin Zhongtian left the new slum and followed the memories of four black people to the city of San Francisco. He found an old man in the city who specializes in buying stolen goods for zero dollars. After a cordial conversation, he got some US dollars and the monster from five years ago. Video of the battle.
Seeing Mr. Ge and Muto on the video, Lin Zhongtian finally determined his identity in this world.
"This is a world of monsters!"
Lin Zhongtian closed his notebook and tapped the table thoughtfully, thinking that it would be difficult for a time traveler to appear in this world.
Even if there were real time travellers, they would probably find a remote place to live in seclusion, and would never dare to easily come forward to participate in the plot.
After all, in this world, the power of individual human beings is too small...
"It's hard to find me, fellow." Lin Zhongtian sighed, then thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, just let it happen. Whether you can meet me depends on your own luck..."
With this in mind, Lin Zhongtian temporarily put aside the task of finding his fellow villagers and began to recall the plot with great interest.
According to the information he has obtained so far, Godzilla vs. Muto happened five years ago. If he remembers correctly, the timeline of the second Godzilla movie is five years after the first one!
"Let me think about where the opening plot of "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" takes place..."
"By the way, it seems to be Yunnan!"
Lin Zhongtian's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately, gently stroking his left hand in front of him.
In an instant, a flash of gray light flashed from the ink jade ring on his left index finger.
The laptop originally placed on the table disappeared in an instant.
This ring is one of the space items made by Lin Zhongtian. It has a huge space inside and is filled with gray mist. With this thing, he no longer has to worry about the problem of insufficient battery life of the clone.
Lin Zhongtian put on his hood, put his hands in his pockets and left the cafe, disappearing into the crowd of people on the street.
Five minutes later, a high-rise building with an octopus logo appeared in the city.
Lin Zhongtian, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the sky in front of him and extending his left hand.
In an instant, gray light circulated on the ink jade ring, and pieces of bright silver armor appeared next to Lin Zhongtian. As his mind floated and rotated in the air, it was aimed at Lin Zhongtian's body from a distance.
The next second, bright silver armor parts suddenly flew over and turned into flowing light and stuck to Lin Zhongtian's body.
In just a few seconds, a silver-armored god wearing silver armor and a black silver-patterned cloak on his back appeared on the top of the building.
This is the armor Lin Zhongtian cast based on the silver armor of Yang Jian, the Erlang God in the TV series "Lotus Lantern".
Both the armor components and the cloak behind him are composed of high-strength compressed materials and a fine gray mist network. The principle is the same as that of the golden armored general in the world of rapid pursuit.
In other words, this is a set of armor that allows Lin Zhongtian to achieve physical flight!
After finishing dressing up, Lin Zhongtian jumped up and disappeared into the sky into a streak of silver light.
…
…
Speaking of the Godzilla movie series, we have to mention an organization - the Monarch Organization.
This organization was established in the 1940s and is responsible for investigating unidentified and unknown creatures on the earth. It can be said to be the most mysterious human organization in the world of Godzilla monsters.
Today, the Imperial Organization has spread all over the world. They have found ancient creatures sleeping all over the world, and established base outposts around these ancient creatures, guarding and studying them.
The place Lin Zhongtian is going to on this trip is the No. 61 base of the Imperial Organization in Yunnan, China.
In the original plot, Dr. Emma Russell, a member of the Monarch organization, and her team followed the sound signal of a mysterious creature to the tropical rainforest in Yunnan, and discovered a huge stone temple here. Inside the huge cocoon sleeps another famous monster in the Godzilla world - Mothra.
Mothra is the queen of monsters that symbolizes "motherhood" and is also a benign representative of the natural order.
In most of the Godzilla series, Mothra appears as a patron saint and never actively harms humans.
But in the plot of the movie "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", as soon as Mothra hatched from the cocoon, the security of the base suddenly lost control. The sudden situation caused the base security personnel to panic and subconsciously shot Mothra. , thus triggering the rampage of Mothra larvae.
At the same time, a group of people took the opportunity to raid the base and kidnapped Dr. Emma, her daughter, and a device called Oka.
When Lin Zhongtian arrived at Base 61, the base had been destroyed and black smoke was rising everywhere.
Helicopters in the sky were moving abandoned buildings back and forth, trying to rescue the information in the base and the surviving personnel.
Many temporary tents were set up outside the base, and people flowed in and out like ants, carrying injured people who were moaning and groaning on stretchers.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian sighed softly.
Although the power of human civilization is powerful, the power of individuals is still too small. Facing giant beasts like Godzilla and Mothra, life is as fragile as a candle in the wind.
After sighing with emotion, Lin Zhongtian turned his eyes and looked at a waterfall not far away.
There, the Mothra larvae that escaped from Base 61 were spinning silk and forming cocoons, preparing to emerge.
