People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

“These three countries are very large, and a few hundred million people in a short period of time is not a problem.”

Reddington: "???"

So, this serial killer went on to conquer Mexico and Brazil?

and many more.

Is Colombia also in the plans? (End of Chapter)

Chapter 424 Strategic Defense Line, A Storm is Brewing

Miami.

Seaside restaurant.

Reddington genuinely believed that Ding Ze was insane, hopelessly insane, and should be euthanized.

Thus, Reddington fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Ding Ze wasn't in a hurry.

Because, how should I put it, Comrade Reddington's weakness is too obvious... and as a fan of the original work, he knows Reddington too well.

Time passes slowly.

Suddenly, Reddington's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Janet, finding it hard to understand how a woman like Janet could stay by Ding Ze's side despite knowing who he was.

“Mr. Reddington,” Ding Ze said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Reddington, well, had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay."

Ding Ze smiled and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."

“It’s a pleasure working with you,” Reddington replied with a sigh.

Shortly after, Reddington and Dunby got up and left, disappearing into the night.

Ding Ze and Janet didn't leave; they continued to eat and drink leisurely.

The days passed day by day.

Large numbers of ordinary people are still leaving Miami, and the once bustling and chaotic city is slowly turning into a deserted ghost town at a visible speed.

Ding Ze borrowed a high-rise building in the city center, as well as a large area around it.

Ma Hong was on the front line, calm and composed, methodically deploying troops and building a defensive perimeter around the high-rise building.

The thousands of employees of Dongfeng Security were naturally placed in the innermost circle, the last line of defense.

Those lunatics brought in from Mexico and Colombia were assigned to the penultimate line of defense... Normally, given the quality of these lunatics, they wouldn't be qualified to occupy this line of defense.

However, considering what's going to happen next... all I can say is that these lunatics, while lacking in moral character, are certainly insane enough that they would actually dare to self-destruct if necessary, making them extremely lethal.

The third-to-last line of defense was manned by Russians sent by Peter Gayev.

These Russians were all tall, strong, and looked imposing and very fierce.

The first line of defense, or the front line, was composed of mercenaries hired by Ding Ze from all over the world at great expense.

For Ding Ze, these mercenaries were actually a huge hidden danger... for no other reason than that Ding Ze was certain that many of these mercenaries were actually cooperating with the [Eternal Life Club].

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Given the severity of the situation, he had no choice but to take some risks; he couldn't simply abandon these people because of this potential hazard.

All we can say is, we'll deal with whatever comes our way.

Also.

There is also a special line of defense at sea.

Janet not only contributed all the useful ships in the Austin family, but also spent a huge sum of money to rent many more.

This maritime defense line is primarily aimed at the air force that the [Eternal Life Club] might deploy.

natural.

The various air defense equipment and weapons that General Granz contacted are gradually being put into place.

Raymond Reddington has also purchased several nuclear weapons and is transporting them to various places at Ding Ze's request, essentially mobilizing all available resources... One of the destinations is Yilang.

This is extremely difficult, requiring countless human, material, and financial resources, and there is no guarantee of success.

But this is necessary.

Because if a nuclear weapon were to detonate in Iran... well, countless bigwigs in Washington would go crazy and wouldn't have the energy to care about something as trivial as Florida's secession movement.

Naturally, Ding Ze had already won over the governor of Florida and a number of other leaders.

It is like this.

Miami, Florida, and indeed the entire world, couldn't help but feel a sense of impending doom.

**********************

Brazil.

Amazon rainforest.

【Black Barrier】Deep underground in the tribe.

Over the past period, a number of large machines have been transported here, disassembled, and then transported in batches to the big black tree for reassembly.

This is a huge undertaking, but fortunately, as long as there is sufficient funding and manpower, it shouldn't be a major problem.

Meanwhile, batches of experts and researchers from all over the world have arrived and begun their work.

As of now, because the excavation work has already begun...

It is now a fact that a vast space does indeed exist beneath that large black tree.

As for the space below, what exactly is going on, and what's inside... no one knows for now; we can only explore it slowly.

the other side.

John Abruzzi's work is nearing completion.

Brazil's currency reform is nearing its end.

Although there are still some places in the country where there are occasional disturbances, they are not a major problem. Those who should be killed are killed, and those who should be suppressed are suppressed. It is not difficult to solve.

Therefore, John Abruzzi had already made plans to return to America and fight alongside Ding Ze. However, before leaving, he needed to go to the Amazon rainforest to see for himself and understand the situation.

In an ordinary house in Brasilia, Brazil.

The elder in charge of the "Longevity Club" in Brazil, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked extremely grave and had a terrible headache.

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, the elder finally spoke, "Ding Ze's men have discovered the space beneath that black tree and have begun excavation."

"Maybe in six months, maybe in a year or two, Ding Ze will probably realize what's down there."

"At that time, our plans will definitely be greatly affected."

"Is the Grand Elder still unwilling to change his mind? Is that Samaritan really that important?"

After listening.

Another white-haired elder sitting opposite sighed, "Yes, of the five elders, four still insist on getting the Samaritans, while only one elder wants to directly bombard Miami."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"So what should we do now?" The elder, who was smoking a cigar, asked with an even bigger headache. "Should we stop the excavation project by the [Black Barrier] tribe? We could launch a few missiles and blow them up."

The white-haired elder shook his head. "Let's wait for the elders' decision. Ding Ze is a very smart man. If we do this at this critical moment, he will definitely realize that what's down there is more important than he thought. Then we'll be in even more trouble."

The elder, smoking a cigar, said helplessly, "So, does that mean we can only watch helplessly?"

“That’s all we can do for now. But don’t worry too much. Ding Ze won’t live much longer. Once we get the Samaritan, Ding Ze and everyone connected to him will disappear from this world,” the white-haired elder said. “Six months? He won’t live that long.”

The elder, smoking a cigar, exhaled a long puff of smoke. "I hope so." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 425 If I die, everyone will be buried with me.

Miami, downtown.

From a certain perspective, inside a building that could almost be described as being surrounded by countless weapons and ammunition, Ida Hassan was leading a dozen or so network engineers from Dongfeng Security, working tirelessly to install servers and all the necessary equipment for the server room.

Earlier, Ida Hassan had already completed the Samaritan's training.

Currently, all that's missing to get Samaritan online is the hardware.

Unfortunately, the hardware requirements for such super artificial intelligence are truly extravagant and cannot be easily achieved.

just now.

Even though Ding Ze had already gone all out, using every available resource to get people from all sides to bring in various hardware as quickly as possible...

According to Ida Hassan, even the most optimistic estimate is that it will take at least another week.

This is not good news.
