Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

It had been more than four hours since the giant beast appeared.

In the White House of the palace.

In the military operations room.

” Unbelievable. According to basic biological knowledge, a creature of this form would not appear at all, let alone extend its tentacles into the sky. How can a mollusk support such a huge weight?”

Experts in related fields who served the M Nation government and military had arrived one after another.

After signing a strict confidentiality agreement, after sufficient psychological construction and explanation of the situation, and after all personal communication devices were confiscated, they were allowed to enter the room. Then, they saw the scene sent back by the reconnaissance drone in real time. It was an unbelievable scene.

What was even more ridiculous was that after seeing the huge seafood, their first reaction was not to exclaim loudly,” This is impossible.” Instead, they looked at the stern-faced President Trump with doubt.

” This isn’t some prank of Mr. President’s, right?”

A biologist took the opportunity to shake hands with the chief of staff and secretly looked around to see if there were any hidden cameras. He whispered,” For example, did the Trump Corporation film a monster movie?”

“.. Of course not, Dr. chandler.”

After receiving a serious and affirmative answer, they realized that they were serious.

“Motherf * cker.”

“It’s hard to imagine that I’ll encounter this in my lifetime,” muttered the doctor.

After the initial shock, panic, and uneasiness, these experts in the relevant fields immediately got to work. They focused on watching the huge beast in real-time and answered all kinds of questions from the administrative bureaucrats-professional, mentally retarded, unimaginable, and speechless.

” Officers, we lack intelligence. It’s difficult to get too much intelligence and information just by looking at it from a distance. What we can determine now is that it’s a creature of the octopus family of the class Cepoda. Of course, it’s just a general term. We don’t know if it belongs to the subfamily of deep-sea octopus or… No, no, no, in the biological sense, such a huge creature should not have been born. It’s unbelievable that it has been living in the deep sea that we don’t know about…”

” Sir!” Dr. Chander seemed to have thought of something. He quivered and said to the Defense Minister,” Sir, we have to find out where it came from!”

” This is also the question we want to know. Where did it come from and what its background is.” The Defense Minister said,” But how do we find out?”

” Send submarines and research submarines to search.” The doctor replied without hesitation,” Start the exploration from the initial sighting site. Such a huge monster will definitely leave traces during its movement–the destruction of the terrain along the way, the destroyed seaweed and corals, the frightened fish, and the prey…”

He turned to look at the monster that was still moving forward and muttered,” Although I don’t know how it absorbs energy, maintains its bodily functions, and consumes its energy, with its size, even if it uses the blue whale as food, it won’t be enough…”

“Sir, can you let me observe it up close?”

“I’m afraid it’s too late, Doctor.” The Defense Minister shook his head.

“.. What do you mean?”

” The president has approved the strike plan. The first batch of air strike groups consisting of air force and naval air forces will arrive at the battle site and start bombing.”

“Wait!” Oh, no! Damn it! You can’t start a massacre without any reason! This is an act of extinction!”

“Sir, please listen to me! Other than the giant sea creatures that only existed in legends such as the North Sea Monster and Leviathan, this was the first time in the history of our civilization that we had witnessed a real giant creature! This was of great significance to biology! No, it was even of great significance to this world! Since it existed, there must be a food chain or even a matching ecosystem for it to survive!

We can’t kill it. We have to observe it, we have to study it, we have to find…”

“Enough! Dr. Chander, you have your position as a scholar, and I have my duty as a soldier!” The Secretary of Defense said impatiently,” This is not the time for academic research, because this is not the deep sea thousands of meters below. There is no time for you to study and observe the behavior of this animal, because it is rushing toward the United States at a speed of at least 25 knots!”

” This is not enough reason to kill it!”

” No, you’re wrong, Doctor. This is the reason to kill it. I don’t care if it’s going to Los Angeles to watch a football game, watch a movie, or go to disney. With its size, this is an invasion!”

” No, no, no, sir. We are humans, the rulers of this planet. We have to be tolerant and patient with these ignorant animals. With the life form of this mollusk, a bomb can cause it serious damage. We don’t have to do this. We just need to intimidate and drive it away. We don’t have to use weapons. We can do it with sound waves…You don’t have to do this, you don’t have to do this…”

The Minister of Defense took a deep breath. If he didn’t count on the other party’s professional ability, he would have asked the guards to fork this pestering nerd out long ago.

“Let’s end this topic. This is the final decision. We won’t take any risks. We can’t let this creature have a chance to appear in front of the public…”

“Damn it! The people have the right to know what happened! No one will agree with us killing such a huge life form for no reason! Heavens, I can’t even imagine how this creature escaped extinction time and time again and reproduced to this day without humans knowing…”

“We can’t do this!”shouted the doctor. This isn’t America!”

“This isn’t America?”

The minister was furious. Four-eyed idiot! What do you think the M Nation is? A city on a hill where all the people supported peace, loved animals, protected the environment, and were intelligent and rational? Do you think they’ll celebrate by shouting ‘Amazing’when they see this?”

“Let me tell you what will happen!”

“Once this thing is made public, television stations, social media platforms, the internet, newspapers, and radio stations will be occupied by all kinds of eye-catching fake news overnight! The shameless media will exaggerate and attract attention, conspirators and troublemakers will spread panic rumors, cultists will stir up trouble, and our people! More than 300 million American citizens! Most of them have been brainwashed by our education, welfare policies, media, and even the government into brainless idiots!”

” They will definitely believe the most sensational one. They will never believe the government’s clarification!”

” They will believe the cultists and conspirators and believe that the apocalypse is coming!

” I’ll tell you what will happen next. They will think that the world is going to end, and then they will take out loans crazily, sell stocks, exchange for cash, and squander wantonly. Meanwhile, the criminals, potential criminals, and Luther who have no money will take to the streets and rob wantonly. The streets will be filled with gunfire, arson, robbery, and killing. They will become beasts because they believe that this is a sign of the end of the world. They will give themselves a good reason to indulge their bestial nature!”

” They’ll crazily gather guns to intimidate each other. The rednecks will hide in the farms and not come out. Those stupid doomsday survival maniacs will laugh maniacally and hide in the cellars dug since the Cold War! The city would be reduced to ruins, the stock market would plummet, capital would flee crazily, and the country would be in chaos! This is what will happen!”

” Because this great country is made up of a large group of blind, superstitious, ignorant citizens, a small group of selfish elites, and brave soldiers like us!

“This is the fucking M Nation!”

The American style of verbal warfare was about a storm and lightning, and the continuous attacks couldn’t be broken. With Mr. Secretary’s experience in verbal warfare in Washington, how could a mere biological expert resist?

He was so shocked that he could not speak.

Even the military situation room was silent.

Everyone was shocked by the Minister of Defense’s furious roar.

Except for Ah Chuan.

Chuan Bao finished the second Big Macs, drank a chocolate milkshake, and started to open the fish burger.

” What a wonderful speech.” He pointed at the minister as he unwrapped the paper.” Speaking of which, do we have a way to capture this giant octopus alive?”

The Minister of Defense was shocked. What the f * ck are you trying to do?

Ah Chuan took a bite of his burger and continued,”I think this doctor is right. If we can capture this big octopus alive, it will also be beneficial to environmental protection…”

Almost in an instant, the Minister of Defense understood Ah Chuan’s true thoughts.

F * ck environmental protection. You just want to catch him alive and show off in front of the electorate, or even in front of all the countries in the world!

” I’m afraid not, sir. This isn’t an elephant. Based on its size, I don’t know how much anesthetic it would take to numb it. Moreover, we don’t have a tugboat that can drag it. The USS Ford is only one-third the length of its tentacles.”

“Please wait for the result of the victory,” said the Defense Minister coldly.

Chuan glanced at his phone impatiently. Where is our plane? What happened to the air strike?”

Therefore, the minister had to appease the impatient and ignorant commander again.

” Sir, we’ve already tried our best to shorten the time needed for decision-making and deployment. However, the preparation and mounting of the aircraft will take time. Please believe that our soldiers are well-trained and they are seizing the time…”

“Then tell me exactly when the bombing will begin!”

The Secretary of Defense looked at his watch and checked the time.” In about five minutes, sir, the joint air strike group from the Edward Air Force Base, the Navy’s San Diego North Island Air Station, the Army’s O’Sullivan Airport, and other California military airfields will arrive at the target area. The B1B Lancer strategic bomber, F-35 fighter jets, and F-15 fighter jets will pour more than 200 MK84 bombs on the monster’s head…”

” This is the first wave of attack in the battle plan.”

If everything went well, it would be the last wave.

In fact, when the minister revealed this battle plan to the leaders of the various military services, the soldiers of the four armies were all boiling. An unprecedented enemy, a free military merit, and a good opportunity to show their faces. They had dreamed of fighting monsters since they were young, so this wave of joint air strikes even gathered the air forces of the four military services. As the minister of defense, it was quite difficult to coordinate this joint attack plan quickly and well.

More than 200 2,000-pound bombs landed on the giant beast in one breath. Even Leviathan would have been blown to pieces. After all, the military advisors had analyzed that this giant beast, which could only rely on the buoyancy of the sea to maintain its body shape, had no room for resistance against human firearms.

Bugs like Godzilla only existed in novels and movies.

As for the gathering of the Third Fleet, the mobilization of the First Marine Division, the National Guard, and the land-based missiles…These were just ‘safety precautions.’

Ah Chuan shrugged. He felt extremely bored. The long wait of four or five hours made him restless. Due to the minister’s strict instructions and threats, he could not reveal the truth on Twitter.

Hence, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But fortunately…It was about to end.

He glared at the minister.” As long as our plane can take out that thing, I can show the public this great victory and my wise command, right?”

“.. Yes, sir.”

“Humph.” Ah Chuan stared at the real-time image in the video and muttered,” This is different from what I thought. It should be our aircraft carrier, destroyer, cruiser, fighter jets, and bomber that surrounded this monster. Under my command, they opened fire at the same time. Countless missiles attacked this big guy from all directions. Ah, right, there’s also the Howard! And battleships!”

“Those idiots in Congress! Why can’t I unseal the seal on Howard? Otherwise, it would be useful now!”

“..”

The Defense Minister rolled his eyes secretly. Suddenly, he received news and his spirits were lifted.” Commander, there’s a report from the command center. Our air strike group is in position…”

The video was quickly cut into two pieces. In order to satisfy the commander’s inspection requirements, the scene from the air strike group was transmitted. The mighty fleet roared in the sky like a flock of eagles, rushing toward the terrifying beast shadow in the raging sea.

“Why is it so close?” Ah Chuan asked again. Can’t missiles be fired from very far away?”

.. Ah, this commander of the four armies who had no common sense.

“Sir, we are using MK84 free-fall bombs…” The minister sighed and replied.

“What’s that? It can’t be the kind of bomb from World War II, right?”

“.. To a certain extent, yes.”

“Why not use missiles?”

“Because it’s cheap, sir.”

The real-time video was from a distance. The scene was plain and boring. Reality was far more boring than the movies. The live broadcast could not see the silhouettes of fighter jets flying across the sky, could not hear Hans Jimo’s passionate music, and could not hear the pilots ‘exchanges. All they could see was the huge shadows of beasts and the flying aircraft fleet.

Countless black dots whizzed down from the sky.

More than 200 MK84 bombs were dropped according to the pre-set plan. It was enough to take care of every inch of the giant beast’s body, leaving it no chance to escape.

The experts sighed helplessly. The bureaucrats sat up straight. Ah Chuan raised his phone and turned on the camera mode. Even the officers who were watching the battle in the combat center and office held their breaths as they watched the rapidly falling cluster of bombs. They were ready to witness the scene of this unprecedented giant beast being completely destroyed by human iron and fire. It must be cruel, bloody, and beautiful.

“It’s over,”the minister said calmly.

The next moment, in the surveillance drones, in the screens of the American military leaders and intelligence personnel, and in front of the officers in the military operations room of the White House, facing the attack of hundreds of heavy bombs, the giant beast that was beyond common sense suddenly roared at the sky.

A bewitching and strange purple energy shield spread out brilliantly!

[PS 1: Upgraded…]

P.S. 2: F * ck, the day before yesterday, in order to write about Ah Chuan, I went through the news and discussions about him. Today, in order to write this, I watched the Gulf War documentary, watched the American blockbuster, watched the military chess game, and even found out that the Air Force bases in California were not seventeen as the American Empire claimed, but thirty-three. What the hell am I doing…
