Chapter 959 Command Center Critical Situation
The decisions of the demons and ghosts are directly related to the life and death of ordinary people in this country. But now it seems that the situation has evolved towards the most dangerous situation.
If it is said that before, these monsters and fierce gods still thought of restraint and used the human beings in this dense fog as food in a limited amount. Well now, they're all about killing. But killing and eating are fundamentally two different things. That kind of gap is like comparing the casualties of a cold weapon war with the Second World War.
In less than an hour, Birmingham, with a population of over one million, was completely reduced to a dead city. This is the second most populous city in the United Kingdom, and under the numerous supernatural powers of the gods, the people in this city can't even do a decent resistance. It has completely disappeared.
Faced with such a situation, the Avengers who had temporarily contacted the London City Government had no idea at all. They felt strange, even unbelievable, that a city with a population of one million lost contact in an instant. However, the explanation given by the City of London Government is very powerful and convincing.
"We've lost communication with Birmingham City Hall, the police station, the hospital, the library, everything that has communication equipment. If one or two are fine, but all of them are, it's just Tells a story. The situation has deteriorated to the worst possible extent."
The mayor of London reported to General Ross succinctly. And judging from his expression, he himself is actually very unbelievable.
This is a very sensible and capable person. After the heavy fog fell, we could realize the seriousness of the situation as quickly as possible, and organized and persuaded the people to leave their homes and take refuge in important places protected by armed forces. His prestige and ability are not lacking at all. Being able to realize the importance of keeping in touch, and to contact the Avengers as quickly as possible at such a critical time shows that he also has enough wisdom.
From the point of view of performance alone, this guy's ability has already surpassed the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. If he can get through the current difficulties safely, then it can be believed that this guy must be the best candidate for the next prime minister. But will they be able to tide over this difficulty? To be honest, the mayor may not even believe it very much himself.
So at the moment, I looked at the hesitant appearance of General Ross in front of me. He immediately said to General Ross with a wry smile.
"I know you may have misgivings about what I've said, and you may think that this interruption of contact is only a temporary problem. But all I can say is that it's best to think for the worst. An agreement has been reached with other cities. Every half an hour, the three nearby cities will conduct cross-safety verification to ensure that the city can guarantee basic safety when everything is unknown. However, the city of Birmingham lost contact It's been over half an hour."
"Not only the city of Birmingham, but also the cities around him began to fall one after another. The information we got here is that before the city fell completely, someone sent a distress signal. Although it was very weak, it was real. And this also It means that this is an attack, not an accident. So General, you should know what this means!"
"I know, of course I know!" Frowning to himself, General Ross said to the mayor. "Your Excellency, if I say that we need to transfer all the asylum seekers to the Port of London. Do you think it is possible to evacuate by ships there?"
"Are you all evacuating?" Some were surprised and asked back. The mayor immediately called his subordinates and questioned them carefully. After waiting for a while, he turned around with regret on his face, and said to General Ross.
"Unfortunately, General. I asked about the situation near the port. Adding up all the ships, we can only evacuate more than half a million people at most. And this population is compared to the population of more than seven million in London.
Even compared with the number of refugees who have been registered, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. This plan doesn't work. General, I dare not even tell the townspeople about your plan, because it is bound to cause a great disturbance. "
"However, if the city of Birmingham is finished, then London may not be much better. There is no problem now, this is just a symptom. Maybe it will not be long, it may be a few hours. Follow in the footsteps of Birmingham. Your Excellency, you should think about keeping more people alive. Not thinking about the order of this city. What you should know very well is that this city, and even this country, is over!"
General Ross couldn't help waving his arms, wanting to add strong words in this way to make the man who currently controls the order of the city cooperate with his actions. But for his statement, the mayor just stretched out his hand calmly and blocked everything he said.
"I know what you mean, General. But this is not a reason for me to destroy the remaining order in this city. Maybe your intentions are good, but you have to understand that the safety of nearly a million people in this city is now It is maintained on top of this order. If I announce the bad news of Birmingham and your evacuation method, then these millions of people will become wild beasts out of control, and flee for their lives in the direction of the port regardless. That kind of chaos It will cause casualties to expand infinitely, and may even lead to unknown dangers."
"So, compared to your plan. I would rather control the stability of all this, and then pray that the army can come to clean up the situation as quickly as possible. This is the only thing I can think of at the moment, to ensure the safety of the vast majority of people There is a solution. General, I hope you can understand my difficulties."
With a long sigh, General Ross nodded in agreement with everything the mayor said. He knew that from the perspective of the mayor's position, everything he did was indeed the most correct choice. Whether it is for the city itself, or for the safety of the citizens in this city. His ideas are not bad at all.
But is such a result really good? He doesn't see it that way. In fact, as the mayor himself said, everything is going in the worst direction. Then he thinks that this city and even this country will inevitably follow in the footsteps of Japan as a whole.
He felt that he should do something, and this thought made him act immediately, and said to the mayor.
"Your Excellency, since you want to stay here and wait for military support. Then I have no right to deny your right to do so. But as the special operations department of the Skyhammer Bureau, I hope to get your permission to let us in the Port of London And temporarily stationed near the coastal ports, and provide assistance to all urban refugees. We will evacuate by boat in five hours. If there are citizens who are willing to leave with us, I hope you will not stop them.”
"You think too highly of me, Your Excellency the General." Shaking his head, the mayor had a wry smile on his face. Then he gestured behind him to General Ross. "What I can manage now is the people behind me. Other places, including those other shelters, may not listen to me now, so let alone those citizens who are still surviving in the fog. If you If you can give them a way to survive, I will be very grateful to you."
When he said this, he stretched out his hand to General Ross, as if he wanted to say goodbye to him in this way. However, before General Ross stretched out his hand, a well-dressed man with a flustered expression trotted all the way to Mr. Mayor's side, and at the same time hurriedly said to him.
"Mr. Mayor, it's not good. We lost contact with several temporary shelters across the river and have completely lost contact. The police station received a distress signal, but we have no manpower to send out!"
"Is it that no one is sent out, or no one dares to go at all?" Waving his hand angrily, the mayor looked at the projected map of London above his head. At this moment, the places representing shelters in the northwest of London have been marked in dazzling red. And like some kind of epidemic, with these reds, almost the entire Northwest began to change color.
Emergency alarms and urgent calls rang almost non-stop in the command center temporarily built in the city hall. And what this represents is that the worst-case scenario happens.
Closing his eyes forcefully, the mayor who stood up in the crisis could only ask the assistant beside him like this.
"How many people are there? Immediately count the population of the shelter where the situation has occurred."
"Your Excellency, there are more than 700,000 people in total. This is the total population of the areas that have completely lost contact. We still have no way to count the areas where the situation is happening."
"Tell those who can still receive our signal that we will blow up all the bridges over the Thames within an hour to slow the spread of the danger in the fog. Let the commander of the shelter organize the evacuation as soon as possible. Only One hour, after one hour, they can only pray to the gods!"
After saying such words in a calm tone, the mayor's order immediately stunned the assistants around him.
"But, sir! Buckingham Palace is still there! Her Majesty, the royal family, and the ministers of the House of Representatives, are they still on the other side of the river?"
"I said, one hour!" Suddenly opened his eyes, the mayor's tone suddenly became decisive. "I don't care who she is! Whether it's a minister or a queen. I only give them an hour. After an hour, if they can't retreat to the river, then I can only give up on them. Their identities sent millions of people to the gates of hell. Do you understand what I mean?" (To be continued.)
