Chapter 75: Lurking

Carlos had no desire for money, all he had was an objective need.

Although the tuition of community college is relatively low, Dana has been away from studying for too long. She needs to attend a training class first, start from the basics, and then enter the community college, and then see if she can enter a formal university.

All these expenses would cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Therefore, he needs a stable way to make money, the salary should not be low, and it should not be harmful to others.

These two requirements combined are simply a fantasy for someone of Carlos's background.

But all of this can be done slowly. Tuition fees do not need to be collected in one day. It is a long process.

Making money by cheating other cheaters is never a long-term solution. Those people will soon figure out his tricks, and it may cause unnecessary trouble.

His plan is to become a construction worker, commonly known as moving bricks.

The only disadvantage is that you may have to travel around, but the advantage is that the salary is not low, after all, it is hard-earned money.

However, this job is simply not suitable for him who possesses [super strength] and [rigid body].

The acquired holy body of ox and horse.

The brother and sister rented a house near the suburbs and bought a second-hand car for easy commuting to work.

My sister usually works in a nearby supermarket. She studies on her own when she has time and occasionally goes to training classes.

Carlos was spotted by a small construction contractor, or a foreman, at a construction site in the city because of his amazing strength and sincere attitude and began his career as a bricklayer.

He enjoys this peaceful life with a job and the ability to create social value.

Even though he knew that with the power he had now, he would have endless money to spend as long as he wanted.

But that's different.

He would rather choose the current peace, which can comfort his guilty heart.

boom--

On the fishing boat, the cockpit finally couldn't withstand the violence and was twisted and damaged. The people inside completely lost their last safety barrier.

"Hah!"

The aliens filed in with screams.

In a short while, the few people inside were all pinned to the ground, trembling and not daring to make the slightest sound.

Obviously, it is less than half a day away from the land.

The captain had even notified the company and officials, reporting that someone on board had gone mad.

But because he didn't take any video, the other party was skeptical about what he said. The captain had originally wanted to find an opportunity to open the door and take a video.

But before he could make up his mind, the door was broken open, and the people who came in were not the madmen he thought, but terrifying monsters!

I was completely controlled.

The captain was disheartened.

The pinned hand only had time to blindly type the word "monster" and send it.

Doorway.

The aliens made way for a passage, and the one-eyed alien "Queen" slowly walked in.

The huge body and ferocious exoskeleton made it difficult for people to breathe.

Its mouth moved and it uttered a difficult-to-understand word: "If you listen to me, you can live."

The captain was dumbfounded.

This monster can actually communicate.

Although his intuition told him that it was best not to trust such a monster, he didn't dare to say no given the current situation.

In the corridor, strange bugs crawled in and jumped directly onto the faces of those ignorant people.

"Woooooooa ...

They were controlled and unable to struggle, and soon fell into a coma.

Except for the captain and the helmsman.

The remaining strange bugs looked at the two of them, as if they wanted to pick one to ride on, but in the end they turned around and left reluctantly.

The captain was sweating profusely, thinking it was a wonderful thing to be able to breathe the air. He exchanged glances with the helmsman, and judging from his eyes, he probably thought the same thing.

"What do you want us to do?"

This monster deliberately left the two of them behind, so its intelligence must be quite high. Hopefully it can really leave them a way to survive.

"Get me and the kids to land. Safe."

The captain understood its words with difficulty, his hands and feet were cold, didn't this mean that he would become a traitor to mankind? !
God knows how many people would suffer if such a monster were brought safely to land.

"Okay." The captain lowered his head slightly and gave the helmsman a subtle look.

Before the latter could react, a strange insect turned around and pounced on his face, causing him to scream in struggle.

"We're almost there, one person is enough." The Alien Queen stared at him with her one eye.

The captain lowered his head, trembling and not daring to make any other moves.

into the night.

An ocean-going fishing vessel forced its way into the Maicheng Port without any application or pilotage, and collided, ran aground, and capsized.

When the rescue arrived, there was not a single survivor.

After checking the surveillance video inside the ship, it was found that it had been damaged by human beings.

The combination of the surveillance footage being sabotaged, the strange lack of people on the fishing boat, and the fact that the captain of the fishing boat had reported the appearance of a monster on the boat, quickly attracted the attention of the Unconventional Situation Investigation Bureau. They believed that it was most likely related to the supernatural and mysterious, so they sent Jamie Walton, who had just returned from his injuries, to lead the investigation.

At this time, the tourist destination is still a peaceful scene.

"After an overnight search and port surveillance, it has been confirmed that there are no survivors on the ship, but a large amount of blood and blood-stained weapons were found inside the ship."

"When the fishing boat entered the port area, it had a clear intention to change course, but it eventually chose the direction of the port and rammed it at full speed."

“Perhaps, at this moment, the captain or the helmsman is still alive?”

Jamie has not received professional criminal investigation training, so although this investigation is nominally led by him, in fact, he is only in charge of part of the task of fighting against the extraordinary. As for the investigation, he is more of an advisory role.

Listening to the discussion between the two vice-captains, he also had a general idea of ​​what happened.

A returning fishing boat reported that it had found a strange fish. But one day later, it urgently reported that someone had gone crazy and attacked others. Soon after, it lost contact. Before losing contact, it sent the word "monster" to the company. It also chose to crash into the port. In the end, the fishing boat did not find any survivors or even bodies.

It feels like watching a disaster horror movie.

According to how the plot develops, the next person to die will be the person who was rushed over to investigate by the authorities.

Jamie certainly wouldn't mind saying something like that.

"Assuming the monster is that strange fish, is an underwater search underway near the shipwreck?" Jamie interrupted.

A deputy captain looked at him and nodded: "The underwater patrol device has been arranged, but no valuable feedback has been received so far."

Sure enough, Jamie knew that his thoughts were not as thorough as theirs, so it would be better to wait until the battle to take effect.

"We now have two suspicions."

"Since this monster can indirectly or directly manipulate the ship to crash into the harbor, it means it has some intelligence."

"And the purpose of coming here should also be to 'eat'."

"Either we launch a surprise attack when there are few people around, sacrificing efficiency for safety, or we directly attack crowded places, sacrificing safety for efficiency."

"Plus the high probability of monsters being aquatic, we tend to think that monsters will attack these locations."

Jamie took the tablet, looked at the map, and guessed that the locations were basically concentrated in the suburbs and tourist beaches.

"Should we evacuate early?" Jamie asked.

The two deputy captains looked at each other with a strange look on their faces: "Captain Jamie, we cannot reveal the existence of this monster to the public for the time being. It will cause unnecessary panic and affect our progress in solving the case."

"Moreover, if we evacuate now, no one will think that we are doing it for their own good. Instead, it may harm the interests and freedom of some people and trigger protests. Therefore, it is a perfect response only if we take measures at the first time when things happen in the public eye."

"Even if there may be sacrifices."

Jamie smiled when he heard this.

You should have told me earlier that I know the answer to this question.

“What people need is for them to feel like they are protected.”
