Gao Jianfei gestured for everyone to rest, then sat down quietly, frowning as he pondered his escape route.
Day 2.
The entire United States was once again plunged into shock and fear!
The deaths of Holman and Dale caused the hearts of the American people, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, to tighten again! Moreover, this time, the tension shown by Americans reached an unprecedented level!
Hundreds of millions of Americans witnessed live broadcasts of dozens of tons of explosives devastating a large area of the Holman Air Force Base, creating craters several meters deep! After this devastating explosion, the terrorists were still alive! Last night, in full view of the public, they killed Holman and Dale in their hotel room!
The American people once suspected that the so-called terrorists might be aliens!
Soon, popular novelists and film directors began to write novels or screenplays about this terrible, still unresolved horrific event.
The US government wanted to cover up the matter, but the advanced network communication in today's world thwarted their attempt to suppress the truth.
Footage taken by onlookers last night quickly circulated online... The footage was quite clear, showing a man dressed as a hotel staff member jumping directly from the 6th floor of the hotel! Then, he calmly dodged a gunshot from a local New York police officer!
This video has plunged the American people into a deep freeze! Everything is so unbelievable, yet so real!
If someone can jump from a height of more than ten meters and survive, it can be barely explained by abnormal physical fitness or learning some body-refining techniques. But how do you explain dodging bullets?
So, within five hours of being uploaded, the video had already reached over a billion views! Not only Americans were watching it, but the whole world was watching it! Everyone was amazed! Everyone was sweating!
Special abilities!
alien!
devil!
...
Such titles were bestowed upon Gao Jianfei, who was disguised as a hotel waiter.
The White House. The Oval Office.
Brian's face was covered with a thick layer of paste, looking blank, rigid, and somewhat comical.
He was in a terrible mood!
Originally, after he blew up the Holman base, he thought he had done a great job, eliminating terrible terrorists, and that the people would surely have a great image of him to worship.
He had already prepared a moving and tear-jerking speech.
But... it's all messed up! The deaths of Holman and Dale last night ruined everything wonderful and dreamy!
The terrorists not only survived, but they were also able to enter a hotel in a prime downtown area and commit murder. What a slap in the face that is!
Not only was it a slap in the face, but it was also... terrifying.
The FBI has assisted in the investigation of this terrorist attack. The head of the FBI, along with Brian and several high-ranking U.S. political and military officials, is reviewing surveillance video.
That was a video captured by the surveillance camera after Gao Jianfei entered the hotel.
Of course, it was Gao Jianfei in disguise.
Ironically, Gao Jianfei knew there were surveillance cameras in the hotel, but instead of destroying them, he even gave a sly smile at the cameras when he entered the elevator!
The American team found the poor waiter who had been knocked unconscious by Gao Jianfei next to a garbage dump in an alley near the hotel.
Brian and the others then learned that the terrorists who entered the hotel to kill had actually disguised themselves!
They began comparing the appearance of the waiter in the video with that of the real waiter... Even the most outstanding photo experts could only shake their heads and say, "It's the same person! Or rather, twin brothers!"
Of course, Americans all understand that the person who entered the hotel to kill was not that hotel employee! So, in other words, the terrorists were also masters of disguise and makeup!
Everyone in Brian's office broke out in a cold sweat!
Soon, the autopsy reports for Holman and Dale came out.
Holman's central nervous system was completely destroyed by a strange force;
Dell... his internal organs were all pulverized into dust!
After receiving the autopsy report, everyone in the office felt a chill run down their spines!
Combined with the video circulating among the public... jumping directly from a building over ten meters high; dodging bullets.
These things cannot be explained by scientific theories.
"It should be someone with special abilities," the FBI chief asserted. His face was extremely grim... "Or rather, an alien creature! In short, definitely not human!"
"So, Director James, what do you think we should do about this?" President Bryan looked at the FBI director.
He was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a sinister yet capable expression in his eyes.
James... the current director of the FBI.
“I think the FBI should get fully involved in this matter!” James touched his prominent nose. “Your Excellency, for example, this kind of supernatural enemy—uh… of course, it could be aliens—is beyond the military's ability to suppress. Therefore, this kind of job should be left to us!”
“Okay!” Brian’s tense expression relaxed slightly. Just as James said, the military was no longer able to suppress the terrorists, so they could only rely on the FBI.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a highly secretive organization. Its members are the elite of the elite! Every member must be proficient in driving cars, airplanes, and ships; skilled in handling light and heavy weapons and explosives; multilingual; and possess basic skills in accounting, law, disguise, assassination, surveillance, and hand-to-hand combat… These are just the basics! Some exceptionally talented members of the FBI are said to possess unknown special abilities!
Therefore, it's better for the FBI to take over this matter than for the military.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Chief James!" Brian patted James on the shoulder.
James's right eye twitched. "Your Excellency, please don't stand on ceremony. The $4.5 billion annual budget the government allocates to the FBI is not wasted."
“Hoo…” Brian took a deep breath, then said in a solemn and authoritative tone, “Please believe all the people of America, we will not fear or succumb to any terrorist force, never!”
…… …… ……
During the day today, Gao Jianfei disguised himself as the old man from last night, left the apartment, and strolled around the streets to observe the situation.
Gao Jianfei was somewhat shocked!
He saw that not only were police patrolling the streets and alleys, but also American soldiers in camouflage combat uniforms were patrolling with live ammunition, questioning passersby.
Fighter jets or helicopters frequently fly overhead.
And all the American people seemed to be very cooperative... They actively cooperated with the questioning and provided all the information they could.
In short, the current situation gives Gao Jianfei a feeling of being on edge, as if the whole city is under attack!
He knew things were serious, but he never imagined they would get this serious!
It seems that the US "government" is taking a very tough stance, and they are determined not to give up until Gao Jianfei is brought to justice!
At that moment, several American soldiers carrying guns walked directly towards Gao Jianfei.
"Wait, sir!" Several American soldiers called out to Gao Jianfei, who was trying to slip away. Their expressions were very serious.
"Uh..." Gao Jianfei braced himself and faced the American soldiers who came over to question him. It was broad daylight, and the atmosphere in the entire city was extremely tense. Gao Jianfei was stopped and questioned, and he dared not kill anyone and run away. He could only try to find a way to evade the questioning in order to get away.
Several American soldiers began to demand to check Gao Jianfei's ID card. At the same time, they also questioned Gao Jianfei about his home address, family situation, family members, etc. in great detail!
They even wanted to directly examine Gao Jianfei's fingerprints!
This has gotten out of hand!
Unable to find a way to evade the question, Gao Jianfei could only seize the moment when the American soldiers were momentarily distracted and use the invisible force of his One-Finger Divine Skill to strike their acupoints, causing them to stand still like wooden stakes.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Gao Jianfei slipped away without making a sound and made a quick getaway!
He quickly slipped into a small tavern, and just as he entered the restroom, the deafening sirens, the commotion, and the roars of anger began to erupt outside...
It seems that the American soldiers who had been acupunctured have been discovered!
Gao Jianfei quickly slipped into the ghost den, then removed his disguise and put on an ordinary man's skin mask and a set of ordinary clothes.
When Gao Jianfei emerged from the den of ghosts, the bathroom door had already been rudely kicked open, and several American soldiers rushed in with guns in hand!
They glanced at Gao Jianfei with sharp, hawk-like eyes, and one of the soldiers shouted, "Behave yourself and go outside!"
After saying that, they started banging on the doors of the other bathrooms, presumably looking for the "old man" who had attacked the American soldiers.
Gao Jianfei hurriedly left the hotel, no longer daring to explore further. With great effort, he returned to the apartment, his heart filled with worry… “What to do? What to do now? Damn it, they check IDs, ask for home addresses, family members, and even fingerprints just to go out on the street… This is insane! America has gone mad!”
As Gao Jianfei returned, he also considered his escape route.
Right now, it really feels like I can't move an inch. Let alone leaving the US by plane, even leaving New York by subway is difficult!
At this point, Gao Jianfei finally understood a principle... No matter how powerful an individual is, they cannot contend with the power of a nation! Especially not with a superpower like the United States!
It's impossible for Gao Jianfei to kill all the American soldiers in one fell swoop, right?
In any case, we must avoid their sharp edge for now!
However, hiding in the haunted house forever isn't ideal. After all, there are women like Song Ying and Li Yun to take care of; besides, hiding in the haunted house means you can't get quests, gain experience, or level up!
Hiding in a haunted house is the worst possible option!
Of course, it would be too dangerous to send Gao Jianfei to the United States to commit murder again!
"Phew, no matter what, leaving the United States temporarily is the best course of action. But how to leave? This is really a headache!" Gao Jianfei kept frowning.
Just then, a propaganda vehicle slowly drove past Gao Jianfei.
A burly blond man was standing on the bus, shouting into a megaphone.
After listening for a few moments, Gao Jianfei understood... This guy was recruiting some staff members to go to a small town called "Barrow" with his organization.
It seems they are recruiting porters for a scientific expedition team.
The requirements for recruiting are very simple... male, strong, cold-resistant, able to do hard and tiring work, and willing to work hard without complaint.
However, the burly man kept shouting, but the passersby ignored him!
Some pedestrians scoffed, "Going to Barrow? It's winter now, the Arctic Circle is in the midst of polar night and freezing temperatures, who would want to do that? These research team members are crazy!"
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
"Barrow Town? The Arctic Circle? So, is this expedition team going to explore the Arctic?" Gao Jianfei's eyes lit up. "The Arctic? Uh... that should be a region far from the United States, right? Well... since the current situation is so tense, why don't I take Xiaoying and the others with this expedition team to the Arctic for a trip? To recharge and then make a surprise return? Hmm! Let's go find out first!"
With that thought in mind, Gao Jianfei quickly walked a few steps and caught up with the slow-moving truck. "Hey, buddy...buddy...are you hiring?"

Chapter 477 The Strange Doctor
"Um?"
Seeing Gao Jianfei rushing towards them, the man on the truck, who had been shouting into a megaphone, immediately showed an expression of extreme excitement. The truck also stopped quickly. The burly man who had been shouting looked at Gao Jianfei with eager eyes. "Buddy, you want to apply for the job! Congratulations! You've found a great job! I swear, it's a great job!"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei was somewhat taken aback. He had originally intended to come and ask about the situation first, to sound things out, and wasn't in such a hurry. But unexpectedly, the other party's meaning was... no need for an interview, no need to say anything else, you're the one! Just come and start working!
This made Gao Jianfei somewhat wary. "Um, buddy, I just wanted to get a feel for the situation first. To be honest, I've been unemployed for a long time, and I need a job. I mean, a proper job. But... but I know absolutely nothing about the job you're offering!"
