"This thing... is so ugly!" Jessica came to the rooftop apron of the Star Laboratory. There are a total of five engineering mechas here. Because of the rush, Tony didn't take the time to polish the appearance of the engineering mechas, so these five engineering mechas looked... quite Maozi-style, that kind of silly, big, black and heavy-industrial style.
"After all, it's a professional mecha, so don't worry about its appearance." Rarely, Kai stood up to defend Tony.
To be honest, Kai quite likes these five engineering mechas. Kai likes this style, which is simple and rough, and looks powerful. On the contrary, it is Tony's carefully crafted Mark series, which is not very popular with Kai. Like.
Tony stood aside with a dark face. After hearing Kai's words, he finally calmed down a little.
He is a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. For example, he never accepts things handed over by others. For another example, he has very high aesthetic requirements for his works. Although his aesthetics may not be recognized by everyone, he Indeed, it is rare to bring this kind of mecha out to see people.
This is like putting out fire, so he reluctantly released them.
The design ideas of these five sets of mechas came entirely from Kai's request, discarding all unnecessary things and enhancing functionality.
It is bulletproof and impact-proof, and can glide and turn at high speeds in complex urban environments. The flight system does not need to be designed to be complex and sophisticated, it just works well. Secondly, its helmet is sealed and has a special filtration and oxygen supply system, so it is also resistant to gas. The appearance of the armor is also much larger than that of the Mark series mechas, with a height of nearly two and a half meters. It also has hydraulic transmission on the limbs, which allows the mecha to do engineering machinery work when necessary. .
In addition, in order to take first aid measures when rescuing people, there are two small arms on both sides of the mecha. In addition to performing various close operations, it can also perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, simple surgery, and inject epinephrine. Waiting for the ability of emergency medicine.
This is also the first time Tony has used this design in his work. He himself does not like to design mechas like this. He leans more towards the human form, with an extra pair of arms and something, which makes him feel weird.
According to Tony, this pile of stuff is complete garbage!
right! That's how he rated it.
But Kai doesn't think so. If they can save people, then they are good things!
"Why didn't anyone else come?" Luke asked.
Among the people who came were Flash, Luke, Jessica, Venom (I almost forgot about this guy), and Hellcat. As for the three heroines, they did not appear.
"They don't need to," Kai said.
Not everyone needs these five engineering mechas. Those who need mechas are Jessica, Luke, Matt, and Hellcat. As for the other one, Kai arranged it for Joe.
"Matt won't be able to come here until tomorrow morning." Matt could have come a long time ago, but the problem is that he has two cases on hand, one of which is still in court today, and he needs to deal with things there before he can come over. Originally, he would come later, but the problem is that now the earthquake time has been advanced, and Matt has to hand over the case at hand to Foggy first and come here in advance. "As for the three heroines, they don't need them."
As for Joe, it's Kai's incestuous love for the Los Angeles Police Department. At this time, the Los Angeles police must ensure their presence. Look at the past life of the Los Angeles Police Department. If nothing happens in this incident... then the situation that finally got better will become worse than before. Originally, Kai's favorites were Dan or Chloe, but Dan wanted to stay in the command position, and Chloe...she had long been sent out by Dan under the guise of serving the public good.
Others don't believe in earthquakes, but Ke Kai's old subordinates all believe it. So Dan had already made arrangements to ensure the safety of his daughter. Chloe herself was quite willing to stay in Los Angeles, but she was still a mother, and her daughter was always the most important person to her. So she finally accepted Dan's offer of self-interest.
So the choice fell on Qiao.
"Anyway, you must be prepared from now on! We don't have much time."
Saving people is not something that can be done casually. Earthquake rescue requires a lot of knowledge. Kai can't guarantee that they can become experts in a short time, but at least they need to understand some of the key points.
Kai originally thought there was enough time, but... plans could never keep up with changes.
…
The earthquake came much faster than Kai imagined, in the evening of the third day.
Just when people thought it was another ordinary day, just spending it normally.
The earthquake is coming.
When Kai was watching the new urban holographic early warning system designed by Harrison and the others in the Star Laboratory, he suddenly felt a faint weird feeling, the same feeling as standing on a swaying balance beam, a slight sense of losing balance. The feeling is very subtle.
At this time, all the alarms inside the laboratory also sounded!
Waves of slight fluctuations came from the building, then quickly became larger and stronger, and finally the building began to tremble and make a rustling sound. Later, the vibration obviously reached its peak. Standing on the ground felt like standing on a surfboard, and the bumps were very obvious.
Everyone knows that the earthquake is really coming! ! !
Kai took out the communicator and said to everyone: "Attention, everyone! Start taking action!"
This is a public channel, and all the police officers of the Los Angeles Police Department are also on this channel.
When an earthquake occurs, the police department will inevitably dispatch all police officers to maintain order and save citizens.
In fact, the police department's response is much faster than Kai imagined! In less than ten minutes, the shrill sirens began to sound, and there were faint exclamations all around.
No matter how many people scolded Professor Lawrence before, they have to admit now that Professor Lawrence's warning is the best rescue, because this matter is too big. For many consecutive days, major TV stations have been discussing this matter. Even if Professor Lawrence is scolded, some knowledge about earthquakes is still inevitably spread, and there is really no shortage of people who resist authority in the United States. If someone scolds Lawrence, there will naturally be supporters. So some people who helped Lawrence shout also spontaneously promoted it. Various survival tips during earthquakes were spread. In addition, it was already night at this moment, and the chaos caused by the earthquake was not serious.
This is called immeasurable merit.
Soon the earthquake stopped, and the earthquake did not last long. The sound of various objects shaking disappeared, and the sound made by people once again became the mainstream of this city.
As for the police station, the public channel has exploded.
The police station could not make any arrangements and could only order all police officers to work on the spot. It was impossible to let the police officers act according to any plan now. By the time they arrived at the planned location, it was unknown how long it would take, and Los Angeles would have been in chaos. The police station could only put most of the police officers in first, and then let the police officers adjust themselves according to the situation. Anyway, the police station had given the highest authority.
After listening to the noise inside the channel for a while, Kai felt that it would be meaningless for him to speak now, so he turned to Harrison and said, "Count the losses in the laboratory and restore the order of the laboratory as quickly as possible. We need you to provide support as quickly as possible."
Harrison helped Caitlin Snow, who fell to the ground due to the earthquake, and nodded silently.
Then Kai no longer cared about the things inside the laboratory, and soared into the sky, heading towards the most chaotic place in the city!
...
Along the way, various accidents occurred one after another.
The most common one was a car accident.
But it's okay. Unless there is a serious accident, Kai will not stay. Now the road is relatively safe. Just get to the open area as soon as possible. The buildings in the city center are all painted. People who are used to revelry have canceled their parties in the past two days. The rich have already hidden in the flat areas outside the city. However, such a big city and such a big earthquake will eventually cause some problems.
For example, the road conditions!
Especially bridges and the like. There are not many rivers in Los Angeles, but there are many viaducts!
These places are most likely to have problems.
But when Kai rushed to an viaduct on the main road from the air, countless people on the viaduct were still in shock and looked around in the car. In the middle of the viaduct, a huge fracture appeared!
Looking at the situation in the four or five cars in the concrete blocks under the viaduct, he shook his head secretly. These cars were crushed and buried by the collapsed concrete blocks. The people inside were already dead. Who can save them?
Kai had no way to deal with this situation. Can he still repair the bridge?
He doesn't know how to do this!
Fortunately, the police arrived quickly and evacuated the people on the viaduct.
These people are still on the viaduct, which is simply a joke of their lives. After all, no one knows whether the structure of the viaduct is damaged. If there is a problem, many people will die.
Just when Kai was about to move forward, a roar suddenly came from the public channel.
"The natural gas pipeline exploded!"
The place of the incident was an apartment building in the South District, an old-style apartment building. The local area is a black community. Black communities mean poverty, and poverty means old infrastructure. The explosion did not make people explode.
"Got it, I'll rush over!" Kai shouted immediately on the public channel.
Then he accelerated to the scene of the incident.
It was a 12-story residential building. When Kai arrived, the lower building was already on fire. As for the fire escape... Sorry, it has been unusable for a long time. The explosion started at the back of the apartment building, and the explosion directly blew away the fire stairs hanging behind the apartment.
The fire escape stairs from the first to the fourth floor were completely unusable, and the fire spread from the first floor to the second floor, and was almost reaching the third floor.
Once a fire breaks out in this old apartment building, it will burn very quickly.
Many people wanted to put out the fire, but unfortunately the fire was too big, and a group of people could only stand downstairs and watch the people upstairs shouting for help. There were a few young men who got a blanket from somewhere and spread it out downstairs, letting the people upstairs jump down.
Looking at the way these young people were dressed, they didn't look like good people. Some of them even had guns on their buttocks. But no one stipulates that gangsters can't help others, right? Moreover, the community atmosphere of black people is stronger than that of white people, and they are relatively more united. Many people know each other, so it's not surprising to help each other.
However, the effect of doing so is unlikely to be very good. People on the third or fourth floor are still okay. If they jump down, they still have a chance to survive with the blanket blocking them, but if they are higher...
What is needed here now is a professional fire brigade.
Unlike the police, the fire brigade is quite respected in the United States, especially in California, where wildfires are frequent and the demand for fire brigades is very high.
But the problem is that the respected firefighters can't come now.
Let alone the traffic situation that has collapsed, there is no way to get the fire brigade to come. Just talking about the current situation, there are too many places that need help, and the fire brigade can't take care of it at all.
Boom!!!
Just when people were helpless, a huge metal giant fell from the sky!
"It's a superhero!!!"
"That's a cop!" Many in the black community do not welcome the police, let alone the most famous police officer in the United States.
But immediately someone slapped the person who said this idiot.
"It's important to save people now!"
Kai looked around and shouted to the crowd, "Does anyone know where the natural gas pipeline switch is?"
In this situation, if the pipeline is not closed, the fire will not stop at all. Kai was not omnipotent. If he was asked to blow up the entire building, he could do it immediately, but it would be a little difficult to extinguish the flames. After all, the pipelines were still carrying gas.
The crowd was also frightened by the sudden disaster, and without a leader to give orders, they seemed so helpless.
When someone steps up to take charge, everything will move in the right direction.
"I know! I know!" shouted a gangster with gold teeth.
"Very good! Get people to shut off the pipeline immediately! Damn it, the natural gas is still on at this time. Are you planning to blow up the entire community?"
Kai didn't pick a fight and immediately gave the order to the little gangster.
At this time, the gangster no longer worried about the incompatibility between gangsters and police, and immediately rushed to the main gate with a few younger brothers.
"The rest of you, don't stand still! Everyone move! Move mattresses, cardboard boxes, towels, sofas, anything soft!"
With the backbone, many people immediately knew what they should do, so a group of people rushed to find those things. Without Kai having to say anything, they started building a survival cushion in a location where the fire was less intense.
Many people even began to use their supervisory initiative to find things like ladders.
At this time, everyone suddenly became good people.
Human beings are social creatures. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, their biological characteristics determine that humans need leadership. This is a natural instinct rooted deep in human genes. Otherwise, 10,000 people without a leader would not be more effective than 10,000 sheep.
A leader is not necessarily the strongest, nor is he necessarily the smartest. A leader only needs one quality, which is to make others obedient.
I don’t know how they did it, but the leakage of natural gas stopped soon, and the fire intensity dropped a lot. But that's enough!
It was also at this time that a group of residents found fire hoses from nowhere.
The fire hydrants in the surrounding area are relatively far away, but people tacitly connected the fire hoses they found and pulled the water cannon downstairs.
Kai also rushed in at this time.
Fire has no effect on Kai at all. The only thing he had to do was to rescue those who were injured or trapped.
In fact, Kai's workload is not large. In addition to rescuing people, he was more concerned with maintaining order. He cleared a fire break on the third floor, and then asked the people in the apartment building to climb down from the third floor on a rope made of twisted sheets and quilts.
On the contrary, the people downstairs did a lot of work and made the rescue work progress very quickly.
Evacuation was completed soon.
Looking at the cheering crowd... Kai suddenly felt impressed by them.
"Be proud of yourselves! The real heroes are you!" This sentence is definitely sincere.
Hearing Kai's praise, many people seemed very proud. Even the gangsters who usually caused harm to the village also puffed up their chests at this time.
Although gangsters do good things, it sounds a bit unworthy.
But in this situation, no one cares about that.
"Everyone, no matter who you were before, but now, Los Angeles will be proud of you!"
The power of the people is endless.
