Chapter 10 The Precipice of Doom

The straight and smooth asphalt road, the shady green trees, the azure sky and white clouds, the slightly dazzling sunlight in the early morning, the quietly parked vehicles, and the healthy and beautiful women who get up early for a run, their chests bobbing up and down, all narrate a kind of silent tranquility.

Fang Senyan and his group of four stood on the sidewalk, with typical two-story, pointed-roofed European-style houses on both sides. They had brown gabled roofs, white facades, and bright glass, neatly arranged on both sides of the street. Each house also had a garden of about forty square meters in front and behind, with neat blue and white fences surrounding the beautiful lawns and fragrant flowers.

They took a few steps forward and saw a middle-aged brown-haired man with signs of a "Mediterranean bald spot" tending to the trees next to him. Privet, birch, and palm trees became well-arranged under his scissors.

Reef said after seeing this man:

"This person should be Kate's current boyfriend, Gordon. His profession is a cosmetic surgeon. He likes machinery and has brief flying experience. His economic situation should be much better than Mr. Jackson Kluster's. He owns at least a Lexus LX and a two-seater Porsche 911. Well, the reason why Kate divorced the failed writer Jackson Kluster and then entered Mr. Gordon's embrace is also obvious. One more thing, Mr. Gordon doesn't seem to be on our list."

Obviously, the security in this area was not very good, so the nearby residents looked at Fang Senyan and the others with a vigilant eye, as if guarding against fire, thieves, and Ai Jiang. Of course, this included Mr. Gordon. Fang Senyan took the lead and greeted him:

"Mr. Gordon?"

Gordon looked up with a stunned expression:

"You are?"

Zi stepped forward and introduced herself:

"We are here to find Kate. We have something very urgent to tell her."

Hearing her name being mentioned, a young woman with typical Latin American facial features came out, with chestnut hair, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, a slightly larger mouth, and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and forehead, showing that her youth was rapidly passing. She looked at Fang Senyan and the others. After confirming that she didn't know the people in front of her, she said vigilantly:

"What's the matter?"

"I think Mr. Jackson Kluster should have mentioned us to you two," Zi said succinctly. "You should know that he found a good job in New York, and we are his colleagues."

Kate smiled immediately after hearing this:

"Yes, he did say that."

Reef sighed and said:

"That's right, Mrs. Kate, you should know that in the great United States of America, the salary of every job is directly proportional to the difficulty... So, I don't think Mr. Jackson Kluster told you that his new job is actually very risky."

Hearing these words, Kate's face suddenly turned pale. It could be seen that the divorce had not severed her relationship with Jackson Kluster, but had deepened it. She said urgently:

"What exactly happened?"

"Mr. Jackson Kluster was seriously injured at work," Fang Senyan said in a somber tone. "He entrusted us to pick you up and meet him if you are willing to go. But you'd better hurry, the doctor in the ICU said that he may not last long. If you go too late, then you can only attend the memorial service."

Fang Senyan said with a mournful tone.

Kate burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, trembled violently, and knelt on the ground. Then she opened her mouth towards the house, as if she wanted to say something, but choked up. Mr. Gordon immediately shouted loudly:

"Lily, Noah! Come out and take care of your mother!"

Zi stepped forward at this time and said in a low voice:

"The company regrets this incident very much, so you don't need to prepare anything. All your expenses will be paid by the company, please hurry up."

It seemed that Gordon was still a careful person. He first dialed Jackson Kluster's phone, which of course was a dial tone. Next, he asked to see Fang Senyan's identity documents. Of course, there was no problem. These things were made by professional FBI personnel. After all doubts were eliminated, he prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Fang Senyan's eyebrows suddenly twitched, because his perception was the most sensitive, so he could clearly feel one thing, that in the dark, something extremely important, even life-threatening, "clunked" and broke.

Forty-seven kilometers below the Pacific Plate, there is a piece of Mesozoic sedimentary rock. This piece of Mesozoic sedimentary rock is only about one hundred square meters. But it has been here for tens of millions of years. Time and space have changed, but this piece of Mesozoic sedimentary rock remains the same.

However, at this moment, cracks slowly began to appear in the middle of the sedimentary rock, and then it shattered like a biscuit with a "crack" sound.

The shattering of this piece of Mesozoic sedimentary rock immediately triggered a terrifying chain reaction. The huge pressure it was subjected to was now completely transferred to the fault lines in other places! The load-bearing capacity of the other faults had already reached the critical point. At this time, they were forcibly pressurized, and naturally, they could only end up breaking one after another.

The efficiency of such dominoes can be described by a song:

Lost a nail, lost a horseshoe; lost a horseshoe, broke a warhorse; broke a warhorse, lost a general; lost a general, lost a war; lost a war, lost a country!

A nail can actually determine the rise and fall of a country. It sounds incredible, but after careful analysis, it is logical. At this time, the fracture of this piece of Mesozoic sedimentary rock, a seemingly insignificant thing, is even more serious than the butterfly effect of nails and countries, because it will determine the life and death of tens of millions of people, and even the survival of the entire human race!

The 2012 doomsday has finally arrived!

At this time, the scene at the gate of the "Base" in New York can be described as a mess.

A large number of clothes, travel bags, plastic bags, and other things were abandoned there, as if a large number of refugees had passed through. A large group of people crowded at the gate, their eyes flashing with hatred. They carried slogans on their backs, such as "Severely punish the damned ***", "Return my hard-earned money", and so on.

Not far away, there were even several groups of people gathered together, making beast-like roars and roars. These guys who felt cheated and bankrupted and owed a lot of debt began to go to extremes, so they dragged over some staff members of the base and beat them severely! There have even been reports of victims being killed.

"Charles, I've known you for decades, but I didn't expect you to be a damned liar! I trusted you wrongly, and now I'm notorious!"

A politician stood in front of him and said with heartache. He couldn't even hide the frustration and decadence in his heart, and spit on Professor X's face. Unexpectedly, Professor X was the only giant who was willing to stand up and face the crowd. He stayed on the open-air conference stage. Below were tens of thousands of painful people. Even after being insulted so much, he sat quietly and gently in his wheelchair, asking everyone to be patient. But no one listened to him.

His body and face were covered with saliva, and obviously more than one person had done this. According to Professor X's strength, he could have killed all these guys.

Qin angrily questioned Professor X in her subconscious, saying that you are also a victim, why do you still allow these people to act like this? Professor X said peacefully:

"A person should have the courage to make mistakes. Also, Qin, you and all our own people must be responsible for the comprehensive control of the airship, even if it means using force!"

Not only Professor X, but even Magneto and Prince Dracula were all subjected to similar questioning. Magneto was not spat on, but mockery and abuse were inevitable. Dracula was simply forced to abdicate by this incident and fell into distrust. He was even pointed at the nose and questioned by a vampire earl, making everyone very embarrassed.

The only one who seemed carefree was Doctor Octopus. He was not a good-tempered person. Anyone who dared to ww in front of him could not escape the unfortunate fate of being "pia"-ed away by the mechanical arm like a fly. It can be seen that evil people don't suffer anywhere.

At this moment, from the depths of the earth, a faint tremor suddenly came!

This tremor had a bit of a "bright moon over the sea, we share this moment together" feeling, because although it was weak, it made the entire 340 million American people feel it, suddenly slashing a knife of panic and fear in their hearts!

Because this tremor is the prelude to the cracking and disintegration of the entire Pacific Plate!

After a tremor, there was another tremor immediately! If you have experienced an earthquake, you will know that even a slight earthquake feels completely different from an artificially created tremor! It is a force from the depths of the earth that makes people unable to help themselves.

Compared with it, even if you are standing next to a pile driver, or the amazing shock caused by the explosion of a howitzer above the bunker, it is impossible to have the amazing potential and unstoppable force of an earthquake.

These two tremors immediately calmed down the almost crazy crowd near the base. They froze in place like sluggish puppets, and confusion and fear began to appear in their eyes.
