Chapter 30

Before dawn, Lin Tao fastened all the buttons of Zhongshan suit and walked out of the cabin. When he stepped on the deck, the sea was in a strong wind, and the strange light on the horizon had dispersed. What was left was the darkness that could not be seen around. The waves splashed against the hull. There were several seagulls flying up and down near the sea. After driving for some time, even seabirds disappeared without a trace, He looked up at the cloudy sky. Several bright stars flashed through the gap of the dark clouds, which looked particularly bright in the inky night.

"Where are you going to take us?" Hao Zhi's voice sounded behind him. Lin Tao turned around and saw the door of the cargo compartment open. The orange light reflected Hao Zhi's silhouette. He bent down and drilled out of the hatch and walked towards Lin Tao against the sea wind.

"Go to my experimental base!" Lin Tao pointed to the southeast sea.

"Your experimental base? Isn't the underground palace laboratory yours?"

Lin Tao shook his head and smiled: "when the underground palace laboratory was established, I participated in the part, but later I had differences with the project leader. He used despicable means to exclude me..."

"I heard the ghost say that you betrayed the country?" Hao Zhidao did not shy away and asked directly.

Lin Tao smiled miserably: "I don't betray. I know what others say is their business."

"Who are you? What's your purpose?" Hao Zhi looked at Lin Tao in front of him suspiciously. Like a ghost, he carried too many mysteries, which was incomprehensible.

"I......" Lin Tao paused for a moment, took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth. He lit a fire and took a long breath. The smoke was blown away by the strong sea breeze and flew to the back of his head along the outline of his firm face. He looked at Hao Zhi and said the second half of the sentence, "I am a sinner of mankind!"

what do you mean? sinner?

Yes, for the country, I am a nonexistent symbol. For the army, I am a hungry wandering soul. For myself, I am a person with dreams and atonement for myself!

Hao Zhi was even more confused. He leaned against the railing and looked carefully at Lin Tao's face. He didn't seem to see any malice, only guilt and nostalgia.

This man is not as evil as he first thought, even if he almost killed them at the first time.

Hao Zhi just instinctively feels that for people like Lin Tao and ghosts, killing is a routine. A human life is insignificant in front of the "major events" that people like them have to worry about. Such people can't even be measured by simple "good" or "bad", let alone judge by justice and evil.

Lin Tao fell on the railing, smoked heavily, listened to the sound of the waves on both sides of the ship's side, looked at the dazzling red moon in the Oriental night sky, and suddenly said to Hao Zhi, "aliens have begun to attack the earth!"

what?

Hao Zhi said he didn't understand: "but I didn't feel anything unusual?"

As soon as Lin Tao turned around, he pulled out a thick military laptop from the luggage rack on the side and opened an application. The video was buffered quickly. Then he saw a piece of scorched earth!

Looking down from an altitude of 20000 meters, the satellite lens first looks blue, which is the sea and the center of the Pacific Ocean!

"This is a picture taken by satellite. All countries are still closed to the news. It is estimated that the news will be broadcast tomorrow..." Lin Tao's voice is very calm and sad.

"Where is this?"

"Hawaiian Islands!"

"Ah? Hawaii? Is there a place full of three-point beauties?" Hao Zhi muttered, "aliens are really wicked..."

Lin Tao adjusted the video parameters and pushed the lens down. The islands and reefs that had been exposed to the sea in a large area have been blown up by a huge explosion. In the middle, a huge circular pit appears in the middle of Hawaii

The continental shelf at the bottom of the island has been blown off, and the sea water has flooded into the huge pit from below to form a lake. The islands and reefs uplifted due to the impact of the explosion have piled up a semicircular ring of mountains. There are no buildings on the island. In the past, the prosperous and endless tourism paradise is already a hell on earth.

All houses in the city, including trees, collapsed and burned under the impact. Under the devastation, only debris and rubble were seen. Corpses were everywhere in the street. A few remaining tourists sat on the ruins and cried loudly, picking up the ruins with bloody hands, trying to pick out the dead relatives and friends from below.

Hao Zhi was so shocked that he couldn't help zooming in again. In the northwest, Honolulu island has disappeared. Within its explosion radius, the other two satellite islands have already been destroyed. The land on the edge of the island is slowly sinking into the sea, like a huge ship gradually capsizing

"This... This is all done by that thing?" Hao Zhi looked up at the blood red "Moon" hanging overhead.

"Well, yes, it's just a pulse laser. The ultra-high-power heat accumulation device, illuminated by the thick thin line of the finger, all turned into ruins in an instant in the range of nearly two square kilometers!

With the resident population and the tourists flocking this season, nearly 2 million people were evaporated in ten minutes... "

Lin Tao looked at the calm "full moon", as if he were looking at the sword of Damocles hanging over human heads. It was very quiet now. It just rotated synchronously in the low earth orbit and gradually moved to the west, as if searching for the next attack target.

The blood red moon is calm and calm, like a nightmare suspended in the air. No one knows whose head such bad luck will fall next

Hao Zhi took a breath and felt that his heart was hit by something. 2 million human beings were killed in less than ten minutes

How many old and weak women and children must there be? How many families' dreams turn to ashes in an instant?

And this is just the beginning!

Lin Tao looked at the sea in the East, where the dawn was rising and the white color of the fish belly had just appeared.

"Just started..." Hao Zhi muttered, "why did they bomb Hawaii? Because there are many rich people there? According to our general reasoning, shouldn't the most effective attack be the capitals of all countries in the world?"

Lin Tao was really amused by his boring humor. He then narrowed the map and pointed it out to Hao Zhi: "first, they need a long time for one attack. Second, the location of the capitals of various countries on the earth is too scattered, and the cost of attacking one by one is too high... So I don't think they have this plan for the time being.

They are doing a more important thing first!

You connect the four parts of Asia, North and South America and Australia with two lines. The intersection in the middle is the Hawaiian Islands... It is in the central hinterland of the Pacific Ocean. "

oh What does that mean?

It shows that they deliberately chose this place, which may be to tell us that they can accurately select any attack target without any illusions for humans in areas not attacked

You know, they hit a small island less than two square kilometers vertically from such a long distance in low earth orbit, and hit it in the middle with an error of less than three meters. This is their display of their military strength!

Yes... Hao Zhi looked at the map carefully, and it was true, "but if they attacked the center of the most prosperous Europe, wouldn't they cause more casualties? Wouldn't it be a greater deterrent to mankind?"

"I think this is out of another consideration..."

What considerations?

The other side is not for the purpose of killing, otherwise there will be no action after the first wave of attack until now. According to my guess, they chose the first attack point in Hawaii. The more important consideration is that there is monakea Observatory there

observatory?

Lin Tao nodded. Yes, it is recognized as the best geographical location for astronomical observation on the whole earth. In fact, it is also the central base for the United States to launch and receive signals into outer space. The main purpose of aliens to destroy it for the first time is to seal their throat with a sword

Hao Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "is it to prevent us from asking for help from the outside world?"

You guessed right! Lin Tao patted him on the shoulder: "they want to cut off the connection between human beings and any possible targets in outer space at the first time, completely seal human beings in this' chicken house ', and then..."

"Even if it is destroyed, it can't even send a distress signal, can it?"

Lin Tao sighed with a livid face: "yes... Now, we can only rely on ourselves! But fortunately, they haven't tried to kill mankind in an all-round way, and we still have a little time to fight back!"

He threw the cigarette end left in his hand on the ground, crushed it with the sole of his shoe, then untied the button of his shirt, opened the Zhongshan suit, exposed the bronze chest under the white shirt, and let the cold sea breeze slip through his skin. He spread his arms and roared angrily at the sea: "come on, no matter who you are, we will defend the earth to the death!"

Hao Zhi stood behind Lin Tao and stared at his back. The corners of the clothes behind the almost paranoid and crazy man fluttered like flags on the battlefield. His ambition was so great that Hao Zhi felt ashamed.

Hao Zhi secretly said in his heart, I am an ordinary boy. I don't have such great ambition. I just want to protect my girl. The most important thing is to save Wang Yanke this time
