Homo sapiens.

America.

Inside the Pentagon in California.

Victor's face was a little weird at this time, but he still agreed to communicate on the phone.

After receiving the exclusive hotline call.

Wu Wei's laughing voice sounded from the microphone: "Mr. Victor, are you all right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want to say?" Victor was not polite.

"Mr. Victor treats his friends like this, it really makes me sad! Originally, I wanted to tell you a very important piece of information, but it seems that it is unnecessary now." Wu Wei said in a heartbroken tone.

Victor still looked indifferent: "Hehe, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, or I will hang up the phone."

"Okay! It seems that you don't need this news anymore. You need to know this news, but at least it can save you hundreds of billions of losses. I hung up the phone."

Victor was startled, he didn't care about showing off, and hurriedly asked: "Wait! What are the conditions?"

"Conditions? We are old friends, it hurts our feelings to talk about conditions, or let's forget it!" Wu Wei replied casually.

Falk squid!Victor secretly scolded Wu Wei for being shameless, but he still suppressed his anger: "Say it! For friends, America will not let you suffer."

"Oh? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, as long as your conditions are suitable, we can consider it."

"Then let me be honest. Our company is developing an island tourism project recently. You have many islands in the Pacific Ocean. Our company wants to buy a few small islands."

Victor was silent.

"Our company wants to buy Gilbert Islands and Ellice Islands. The price is absolutely fair. How about 500 gold dollars for an island?"

"Mr. Wu Wei, this joke is not funny at all." Victor replied in a low voice.

"Are you sure you don't sell it? After passing this village, there is no such shop." Wu Wei reminded with a smile.

Victor fell silent again, he was thinking about Wu Wei's words and the meaning behind them.

After all, Homo sapiens has no reason to call the hotline for no reason, let alone entertain him. Obviously, there must be a reason behind this incident.

But what is it?
Hundreds of billions of losses?

What will cause hundreds of billions of losses?

wait!Victor suddenly had a guess in his mind, could it be... He asked in a low voice, "Is it an earthquake?"

"What? What is Mr. Victor talking about? I can't seem to understand." Wu Wei said doubtful words in an affirmative tone.

Victor also heard the answer at this time.

That is, Homo sapiens already knew that America or the free association was about to experience a major earthquake, but the other party just didn't tell America the specific information.

"Change the conditions! Those two islands cannot be sold to you."

Wu Wei calmly reminded: "Why bother, anyway, those two archipelagos will definitely be ruined this time, and if you sell them to our company, you will make a lot of money."

Hearing this, Victor's expression became more serious.

Obviously he heard what Wu Wei meant, that is, the Gilbert Islands and Ellis Islands were seriously affected by the earthquake.

The only possibility he can think of now is that the earthquake triggers a super tsunami and submerges the two archipelagos.

This information made Victor even more restless.

"Since Mr. Victor is not interested in selling those two islands, then I won't bother you. If you change your mind, you can call my hotline at any time, but you'd better hurry up!"

After speaking, Wu Wei hung up the phone directly.

Victor didn't bother on the phone because he needed time to think and report the matter to the City on the Hill Council.

He quickly cleared his mind, and at the same time quickly consulted the experts in the earthquake monitoring department.

Although Wu Wei provided very few clues, he still analyzed the area where the earthquake may occur.

According to the submerged information of the Gilbert Islands and Ellis Islands, he deduced that the area where the earthquake occurred should be along the west coast of North America.

According to earthquake experts, there are two fault zones on the west coast of North America, the Aleutian fault zone in Alaska and the Cascadia fault zone near California.

Considering the possible loss of hundreds of billions of information, he ruled out the deserted Aleutian fault zone.

Therefore, the earthquake is very likely to occur in the Cascadia fault zone near California.

But knowing this news is not of much use.

The reason is that there is no exact time and place, so people in the whole of California and Washington state can't be allowed to leave the coastal area for a few months, right?

The west coast of North America is very important now, because this is the core trade channel between North America and Northeast Asia, and there is definitely no way to interrupt it for a few months.

What's more, what if Homo sapiens deliberately misled him?Or did the big earthquake happen in Japan?

As long as Homo sapiens does not provide the exact time and place for a day, America will be afraid for a day.

Victor, holding the analysis report, quickly headed to Seattle to secretly meet with local Thomas Morgan.

Inside a safe house in an underground bunker.

"Big earthquake?" Thomas frowned: "Is the situation true?"

Victor shook his head: "I don't know either. After all, we don't have earthquake prediction technology, but Homo sapiens should not deceive us."

Putting down the documents in his hand, Thomas had a headache.

It wasn't that he felt a headache about the earthquake. After all, even if he knew about this kind of thing in advance, it would be difficult to completely avoid the loss.

The real headache for him now is whether to sell the Gilbert Islands and Ellis Islands to Homo sapiens, and then obtain accurate information about earthquakes.

Although the two islands are members of the Free Association, their core rights have been firmly controlled by America.

Just doing it, is it worth it.

Although the combined land area of ​​these two archipelagos is less than 1000 square kilometers, their maritime exclusive economic zone is nearly 500 million square kilometers.

Moreover, these two islands are the transportation hub islands connecting North America to Oceania.

Once the two islands are sold to Homo sapiens, there will be an island chain between North America and Oceania.

For the Homo sapiens company, after obtaining the two islands, the company can basically move unimpeded between Southeast Asia and South America.

Thomas hurriedly convened the City on the Hill Council to hold a video conference with other directors.

After hearing the news, all the directors also talked a lot.

"Thomas, what's your idea?" James Rockefeller asked, biting his cigar.

Thomas shared some of his thoughts: "If we don't agree to Homo sapiens now, they will definitely not cooperate with us in the future. For earthquakes, we don't have early warning technology at all. It will be very troublesome in the future."

"But promise them that our power in the Pacific will be divided into two, which is too dangerous." DuPont reminded.

Thomas continued: "I know, so we have to find a way to negotiate with Homo Sapiens to demilitarize these two islands, while retaining our freedom of navigation, and Homo Sapiens to provide long-term seismic services .”

"Is that so?"

"If that's the case, it's not unacceptable."

After all, Homo Sapien's earthquake prediction service is indeed very powerful, and they can get long-term earthquake prediction services through it, so they are not too bad.

After a heated discussion.

The City on a Hill council finally made a decision.
