Chapter 82: Being Targeted
Providence is the capital of Rhodes Island, USA and the third largest city in New England.
Located at the mouth of Providence, it is an important harbor of the Naragansett Bay on the Atlantic coast. This former industrial city has undergone a revival and reinvented itself into a historic place with rich nightlife and superior open spaces.
However, Penelope has been away for a year. She originally thought that when she came back, she could see familiar scenes.
For example, you can go to the East District and take a look at the eighteenth and nineteenth century houses, cobblestone streets and swaying street lights...
For example, you can choose to go to the Providence Performing Arts Center to watch a Broadway show, or visit the Providence Children's Museum or the Roger Williams Zoo...
——Especially the latter, covering an area of 16 hectares, raising many African elephants, snow leopards and black bears, is one of the few beautiful childhood memories she has here. Her father acted very normally when he was not "diseased". He has brought her here several times.
For example, you can also take this opportunity to experience the romantic nightlife in Providence, sit on the Venetian-style gondola, and visit the brand new performance...
It is said that those performances last from May to November every year, creating a happy night atmosphere with bonfires, music and celebrations on the river, giving people multiple senses. Penelope wanted to see it several years ago.
But until she graduated from college and left her hometown, she still didn't do this.
But I am used to it. Not only her, but many people are the same. They have tried to do more things since childhood, but in the end they can get what they want, even if it is just a few comic books or a few toy guns.
Some things I couldn’t get when I was a child, but I didn’t want them when I grew up because what I lost was actually the relationship I had in the past.
However, the problem that Penelope is facing now is not that she is not in the mood, but that all this is no longer there-
Walking on the streets of Providence, although the scenery is still the same, the atmosphere is completely different from the past. She can feel the heaviness and depression in the air, and can also witness the fear and anger of the people with her own eyes.
procession!
Demonstration!
Tens of thousands of Providences took to the streets, joined the ranks of angry people, holding various slogans and shouting slogans of one kind or another.
The scenery is very common, very orderly and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
However, this is a very dangerous signal. After all, the fundamental difference between "marches" and "unrest" is that "marches" are just a way to express demands, hoping that the government will do better, while "unrest" is a subversive activity that takes place with strong hostility towards the government.
The dividing line between the two is actually not particularly obvious, but if the demonstrations and other phenomena last for a few months but still remain popular, then no matter who it is, they must take it seriously.
Fortunately, the United States has taken action during this month, otherwise, it would be impossible to even give an explanation.
Because late one night, the United States suddenly launched five strategic nuclear missiles, bombarding a certain area on the western coast. Its huge power not only caused a tsunami in some areas, but also directly wiped out an island.
Although I had no idea why this was, this incident still shocked the world and occupied international news headlines for more than a week. It is said that in the country across the ocean, some UC shock department fought a beautiful turnaround because of this incident.
Generally speaking, it seems that no one believed it at the beginning, and just treated it as a rumor, but it turned out to be true, so—
"A hundred billion Chinese people were shocked"!
"American nuclear explosion" is a hot topic for this period of time, and even now, it can still squeeze into the top ten in the rankings.
The whole world is talking about this because it is completely unknown why the United States suddenly launched five strategic nuclear missiles. Some people even thought it was a late night declaration of war, and World War III was about to come.
——This naturally triggered a wave of new panic.
However, afterwards, the White House issued a statement to the outside world saying that this is a manifestation of the will of the United States and a powerful counterattack against foreign enemies that threaten human survival... Human beings will never surrender, and America will always be the country of hope for mankind...
Barabala, like this, took the opportunity to promote it and gave the American people an injection.
Although the specific process is unclear, the White House explained it vaguely and unilaterally declared that the United States won a great victory, which praised the courage, wisdom and strength of mankind, but only a few people can detect the problem.
And no one chooses to say it, because even if they question it, no one will believe it, and they will even be attacked by some extreme madmen. Their horror is only lower than the most fanatical traffic star and brainless fans.
Anyway, since no one stands up to oppose it, no enemy comes out to refute the rumors, and no terrorist organization dares to declare responsibility for this matter, just think that this matter is true.
The United States has made the most powerful counterattack against the current situation...
The United States has won! Although it is just a small step, it is a big step for mankind...
Because the whole of the United States urgently needs such news, making them feel that they are still the master of the world, and making them think that they still have enough power to rule the earth and determine the future destiny of the world...
If this news is true, it is naturally the best, which means that American citizens are still the celestial dragons on Earth.
If this news is false...it can at least comfort their spirits well-
Just like the "Seal of the Old God" organized by someone to a remodeled investigator, its existence is of great significance, and even far greater than its actual effect.
The function of the old seal is to provide a false sense of security when one lacks knowledge, and also to provide a false sense of security to friends who lack knowledge.
After all, the old seal could not really hurt those things, and it was not even very harmful to the family, let alone using it to save lives in the aftermath caused by the old dominators and even external gods.
Strictly speaking, the old seal is like the meaning of garlic to vampires. It has no lethality and is mainly disgusting. Just like when a person sees a Tuoxiang being thrown over, his instinctive reaction will avoid it as soon as possible... This is the same reason why vampires avoid garlic.
Similarly, the same is true for old seals. They are just something that some genus creatures don’t like... But if you are too anxious, you can just wash your hands later...
Now, this news is an old seal of Americans. Whether it is true or false, they urgently need to rely on it to gain a false sense of security in order to deal with this terrible world that has suddenly turned upside down and became strange.
...
...
Penelope didn't think so much, she just felt the situation was extremely nervous.
It is obviously the same in the United States. For example, she went to work in New York before and saw the scene of parades everywhere in the streets. It was like this every day, but it was only when she was here that she felt that the situation was a bit serious.
It was probably because when she was in other places, she was just a foreigner and felt unfamiliar with everything.
And only when I returned to Providence, I returned to my own hometown. Therefore, after seeing such a huge change in familiar people and affairs, I suddenly reacted.
"God bless America!"
"Strongly demand to pursue the victory! Consolidate the results of the battle!"
"Down with those damn wizards! Let them understand who has the final say in this world!"
The fanatical people shouted such slogans and held up signs and slogans. The entire street was almost crowded and could not even walk through, let alone take a taxi.
Penelope frowned and listened carefully for a while, and after analyzing it, he realized what the people here were asking for.
Although the five strategic nuclear missiles in the United States and the White House statement gave the public a good shot of a heart-warming shot, effectively stabilized the turbulent social order and sootheed people's hearts.
But everything has its pros and cons, so some side effects have also appeared, that is, some people really believe that the United States has successfully shocked the mysterious side. After all, all beings are equal under nuclear bombs, and they do not believe that anyone can really fight against the strongest weapon of mankind.
So they began to become full of confidence and a kind of self-confidence, and strongly demanded to take advantage of the victory, in other words, they wanted to take revenge!
After all, the pain and shock brought by the demise of the Fourth Fleet cannot be healed in one or two months.
It is not enough that five strategic nuclear missiles alone bombarded an inexplicable island. Who knows the specific results? They need more intuitive and shocking results!
In other words, I feel that I must continue to attack and declare war openly until the entire Italy is broken through, the devil in Italy is captured alive and sentenced to the whole country and sentenced to the whole country. Only then can I relieve my hatred, promote my country's power, and Balabala...
Wait and wait.
In short, their request was quite fantastic. After Penelope figured it out, he felt frightened and decisively refused the words of the people who came around and wanted to pull him into the group.
This made the other party's attitude become a little bad all of a sudden. Two people cursed and wanted to come up and touch her. They even pushed her, but were pulled by the people around her and still felt unwilling to give in.
Perhaps it was accusing her of not having the responsibility and glory that Americans deserved, and unilaterally announced some words of expelling her nationality - "I am not an American if I don't march!"
Penelope felt extremely unreasonable and depressed. When she left, she couldn't help but look back and watch frequently. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
However, for the sake of safety, she did not leave much exploration. After all, those people seemed to be looking back at her frequently, which made her feel distressed, but she could speed up her pace.
"The target has been contacted and the monitor tracker has been successfully implanted."
"When this micro-device is implanted into human skin, it will also cause a faint pain. You haven't been discovered, are you?"
"No, we distracted her by some more obvious physical contact conflicts as you teach."
