Chapter 136 136 "Is There No One Who Can Jump Ahead?"

Chapter 136 136· "No one can jump ahead...?"

Qin Duomian was not the only one trembling.

The country of great gentry.

Zou Wanhong's family also huddled in the corner of Area C of the shelter, shivering to drive away the cold.

As the first group to arrive in Area C, they had the right to choose. They were taller among the short ones, so they chose the location in the middle, which was at least the warmest and far away from the 'toilet'.

It can be called a prime location in Area C.

But later Zou Wanhong and her family realized that sometimes the principle of first come, first served is useless.

In many cases, whoever has the biggest fist has the best position.

Those who can be assigned to Area C are basically people who the Great Gentry Country deems useless in various aspects.

In fact, the Great Gentry State is too lazy to manage this place, and even avoids it.

As a result, there is no official order of the gentry here at all, but it is unrealistic for a place to be without order, so Area C evolved its own order before the natural disaster arrived.

Some fellow villagers from the same area used this relationship as a bond to trust each other and established something similar to a 'gang' here, called an autonomous association.

Because they have the most people and the biggest fists, they are currently managing and distributing things here. This is order.

As for Zou Wanhong's family, with their oriental faces that were not liked, and their abilities that were not valued much - even for acting, they were driven into this corner.

I can only be thankful that at least this shelter is not leaky. As long as I don't take off my clothes or leave the quilt, the current temperature is still bearable. Otherwise, Zou Wanhong felt that she would not survive last night.

And thankfully, low temperatures also suppress people's desires.

With the natural disaster yet to come and a large number of people starting to live in Area C again, these free people have no concept of etiquette, justice and shame. They even held a bank party on the spot. If Zou Wanhong and her mother hadn't run away in time, they might have been forced to join.

At least no one wants to do that now.

After all, the act of taking off clothes is pure torture now.

But their mental state is still very poor - the sound of hail, the snoring in the room, the smell of the toilet, everything makes them miserable.

"The announcement said that many people from many countries on Blue Star died today. The unit is hundreds of millions." At this time, someone was discussing next door.

"It's not easy for us to survive."

"With this temperature and this hail, have you seen what the environment is like outside? I think this is normal and it's not right to survive."

"Then maybe we should be thankful now?"

"Maybe? But...sigh, the environment in our Area C is really hard to come by..."

"But life is better than death. Didn't it say that in the announcement? This era of natural disasters may be an opportunity for human evolution. As long as we survive it, we will have a new life." Someone still responded with hope:

"Furthermore, didn't the great gentry also say that even if the Dongguo is prepared in advance and is selfish, their situation is also very bad, and they can't give in to our side."

"Maybe all of them are worse off than us."

"There are so many of them, it's just as bad as it should be..."

"..."

Zou Wanhong listened to this conversation.

The so-called announcement is probably deliberately suppressed by the officials of Dashen in order to inspire people, improve the survival rate and the stability of the refuge.

Anyway, the Internet has been completely disconnected, and there is no one here to verify.

Today's public opinion is indeed completely in the hands of the government. Editing the text can make the people below have a high C in their skulls. This is very cost-effective.

What the government does not want the people to know is a secret that cannot be revealed under the blockade.

If it were half a month ago, Zou Wanhong would immediately join in such a conversation and start criticizing Dongguo regardless of whether it was true or not.

This is her unique ZZ correctness and delicious food for spiritual joy.

But now——

Before she even opened her mouth, the pictures she saw in the group chat of international students some time ago were flashing in her mind one after another, which was extremely dazzling.

She could no longer deceive herself, so she just gritted her teeth.

There was no rebuttal or agreement. Zou Wanhong covered her ears and said nothing.

She will rot in this corner.

…

November 7, 2024, Eagle time, 3:37 pm - a week has passed since the beginning of the era of natural disasters.

If you look down at Blue Star from outside the atmosphere, you will find that in just one week, the planet has completely changed.

In the past, there were azure seawater and dark land under the atmosphere, but now, it is covered by thicker clouds than in the past. But even through the clouds, the whiteness still dominates almost everything, and the blue star seems to be frozen.

Flying Eagle, inside the Hexagonal Shelter.

Chris and Boy walked into a small space one after another - the space was only about four or five square meters in total, with a table and two chairs inside.

Boy, who was late in entering, naturally closed and locked the door after entering, because since this room, which was similar to an interrogation room, was used, it meant that the following conversations needed to be kept confidential.

Chris rubbed his slightly stiff hands, and then turned on the electric stove in this space. After feeling a bit of warmth, he sat on the chair more comfortably.

——Now even a leader like him can't keep warm without any restrictions.

The three separate powers make it difficult for the three parties to restrict or even hinder each other at this time.

"Mr. Chris, did you have something to tell me when you called me here this time? Is it because the number of casualties has begun to increase and we are not willing to rescue outsiders, causing problems?"

Boy followed closely and sat opposite Chris, and asked proactively.

Flying Eagle suffered heavy casualties during this week - but the shelter would not collapse after only one week of operation, and the damage was very small.

The main source of death is still those people who pursue freedom before the natural disaster and are unwilling to live in "the so-called shelters are just cages" and choose to live in their own homes.

They thought they could live well on their own in this environment, but in fact, they completely underestimated the danger of the ice disaster.

The water pipes were frozen, and almost all the lines except the shelter were frozen. It was impossible to repair them with personal efforts. The power system was damaged. People outside the shelter almost re-entered the primitive state after just a few days and nights. era.

Except for those enthusiasts who really have the ability to survive in the wild or have relevant knowledge, for most people, even heating and making fire has become a serious problem after their heating equipment is scrapped.

Although Westerners do not have as strong a pursuit of hot food as Easterners, eating cold bread sandwiches and drinking water mixed with ice is intolerable to any individual.

And whenever death occurs, it triggers panic.

Coupled with the disconnected network, all these things add up, and the psychological and physical pressure will be huge.

So just a few days after the ice disaster hit, people started rushing to the nearest shelter one after another, asking the shelter to take them in.

In some families, only the strongest person came, and then asked the Flying Eagle official to send people to bring all his family members over. Failure to save would be a waste of human life, which is not free or democratic.

"What's there to say about those damn guys? They're just clowns who don't know how high the sky is and deserve to die. Their IQs are not even worthy of being an Eagle. They'll just clear out the trash."

The anger in Chris's words was much stronger than before the era of natural disasters.

After all, in the current environment, a lot of people are dying every day. Chris has seen more corpses in this week than he has seen in his entire life before this.

It is difficult to maintain a calm mood in this environment.

"They can't affect us. Those left-leaning Madonnas, just let them scream incompetently. They can no longer affect our position. There is no need for Madonnas in the end of the world. This is something that anyone with a little sense will know. thing."

Chris added.

This week's response to this situation was the fools who managed to survive the hail and the extreme cold temperatures, and made it through the hail-filled roads to get to the shelter, which allowed them to join.

But if he is wishful thinking and proposes to go out to rescue his family or friends, then don’t even think about it. No matter how unreasonable he is, he is not worthy of entering the shelter and will be expelled directly.

The leftist Madonna thought this was an opportunity at this time, and actually started giving speeches in the shelter, trying to shake Chris's position, but it is a pity that humans under the apocalypse do not need these useless things.

They've had enough of generosity to others.

And they are no longer who they were half a month ago.

You know, the completely inhumane move of destroying the island flower actually set off a carnival in Feiying.

People were in high spirits, happily lamenting the destruction of Island Flowers, laughing at their tragedy, and their support and trust in Chris reached unprecedented heights.

To this day, there are still people who watch and disseminate the officially released videos over and over again.

The despair of the end of the world can lead to changes in people's emotions, which is so terrifying.

Therefore, no one supported the orators on this matter, and even went berserk on the spot. A group of people beat the 'idiot' who tried to persuade them to follow the path of the Holy Mother half to death.

It can be said that the incident did not cause any disturbance.

"Mr. Chris, if it's not this, is there anything worth talking about here?" Boyi asked with some confusion after hearing this.

He originally thought that Chris needed to deal with these bugs who "only think of the country when they are in trouble" by himself.

As for the solution, it is naturally inhumane and cannot be put on the table, just like solving the old, weak, sick and disabled by yourself.

"It's about this."

Chris reached under the table and took out a tight suitcase. After entering the password twice, he opened the box.

Chris then twisted the box so that the open side faced Boy.

After seeing clearly what was in the suitcase, Boyi raised his eyebrows. It was something that looked like a stone, but it was impossible for Mr. Chris to show him anything like a collection. Plus, this appearance seemed a bit strange. familiar……

etc.

"Mr. Chris, this..." When Boy finally realized where this familiar feeling came from, his pupils suddenly narrowed: "Is this the "strange stone" Mr. "Hope" mentioned? "

"That's right." Chris nodded:

"Because of the preliminary results of our research, the composition of this thing has never been seen in Blue Star, and we have repeatedly compared and confirmed the description of Mr. "Hope". If nothing unexpected happens, this is the "exotic stone" in his mouth ”. "

"But didn't Mr. "Hope" say that "exotic stones" only come from the bodies of some alien species? Didn’t the alien species only appear in the fourth month? Could it be that alien species have begun to invade Blue Star now? This will have a big impact on our plans! "

Boyi said a little irritably, he didn't like the plan to be disrupted by such a violent accident.

"Calm down, Boy, the alien species hasn't appeared yet." Chris crossed his hands on the table and said relatively calmly: "This "extraordinary stone" was accidentally discovered in Marseille. "

"Maxi Prefecture, this is not the most severely affected area in our Feiying territory. Haven't we already tactically given up? How come "strange rocks" were found there? "

Boy asked after calming down a little.

"It's true what you said. We were able to get it because of the blessing of the goddess of luck. Because it was hidden in a hailstone stuck on a military truck we were passing through Marsi State and was brought back by the way."

When Chris said this, he shook his head, and the expression on his face was unclear whether he was happy or not.

"God bless us to fly eagles." Boyi whispered, then frowned fiercely:

"The "strange stone" appeared in the Ice Disaster. Does this mean that the Eastern Kingdom has hidden a lot of things from us?

Damn it, I knew they weren't telling the whole truth! Should we tell him the news—"

Boy stopped himself as he realized what he was trying to say was stupid.

It is simply stupid to share the secret that was finally discovered with other countries. To unite other countries to attack and isolate Dongguo, it is appropriate to wait until other countries find out about this.

"I'm not sure about this. It's really a coincidence that we were able to get this "extraordinary stone". If we just look at "Hope"'s status and identity in the past, he may have really not known about the era of natural disasters he has experienced. thing.

It's a pity that due to the changes brought about by the Era of Natural Disasters, the quality of data obtained by our monitoring satellites is getting worse and worse, and it is impossible to analyze Dongguo's trends through it.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether we know it or not. We have to assume the worst case scenario for other countries and pretend that they already know it. "

"That's right, no one in our Blue Star can interfere with anyone now. At least in the ice disaster, we are all isolated cities." Boy pinched his chin and began to think: "What we can do is to try our best. Is it right to collect more "exotic stones"? "

"Before this moment, we have already conducted an analysis meeting, and we have reached these conclusions..." Chris began to talk to Boyi. Feiying's conclusion about the "exotic stone" was similar to that of Dongguo - after all, the information Most of it is made public, and there is no shortage of smart people in the country.

It is normal to deduce similar conclusions.

"Ocean and land..." Boy digested this large amount of information and muttered to himself: "We must obtain as much as possible the "exotic stones" that almost determine the future pattern of Blue Star.

Otherwise, our position as hegemon may no longer exist. "

"We all know this, but unfortunately, we currently have almost no ability to collect "exotic stones." Chris's expression seemed relatively calm, but he also hid some helplessness: "This weather is too deadly. Even if we guess that there may be some "exotic stones" hidden in Marseille, we can only watch.

Even if we collect some hail now, it is very laborious and may even cause casualties. "

"Can we use human lives to build a road?"

Boy looked directly at Chris and asked seriously.

Chris shook his head and chuckled. He knew that Boyi had always been more extreme, which was why he communicated with him about this matter today, but he shook his head:

"Human lives can't make a road out. This is a bottomless pit. Even if you are willing to risk your life, it is too difficult to find them in the hail that has been piled up near the mountain. It is impossible for us to use large equipment now.

What we can do now, to collect and process hailstones, is just a drop in the bucket, and the amount we can process is not as much as the new ones. This is true for inland areas, let alone oceans.

But Boyi doesn't need to worry about this matter, because this situation is not limited to our flying eagles. Even if Dongguo also discovers "strange stones", they will also face this problem, right?

No one has a chance to jump ahead. "

Chris said with some confidence.

Two in one, 4600 words.
