Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 132 Woan Forest Fire
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan held back for a long time and only managed one sentence: "Sure enough, Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is correct. Physiological needs have an absolute advantage among all needs."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Of course we have to. If we didn't have the space, we might not be as good as them."
"Hey, hey, our ancestors were blessed, and so are we!" Bi Qiaoan is actually a little guilty about her current life. She always feels that she is getting something for nothing. But if you ask her to give up her space and live a normal life, she will definitely scold you for being sick!
After the New Year's bell rang, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looked at each other and said, "It's great that we are still together."
The two of them felt very lively listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers on TV, but after turning off the TV, everything returned to silence.
That's right, this year Qinghua Country has completely banned the use of fireworks and firecrackers. It can be said that the Qinghe Alliance has controlled it from the root. As soon as the dry season began, the Qinghe Alliance closed all fireworks and firecracker manufacturers.
Therefore, there are no fireworks and firecrackers circulating in the market. However, there are always some dealers who have some stocks, and they sell or give away the stocks for personal gain or favors.
After making love, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan fell into a deep sleep, so they didn't know that a big event happened in the early morning that shocked the entire Qinghua Kingdom.
That night, many people stayed up all night watching TV and playing games online. However, shortly after midnight, a forest fire broke out in Chuan County, Yun City. All the fire trucks in the entire Yun City were dispatched, and the shrill sound of sirens filled every street in the silent city.
As soon as they heard the sound, many people knew that something had happened, and the noise was so loud that it was obviously not a trivial matter.
Soon, the news of the forest fire in Chuan County was exposed. It turned out that a villager in Chuan County secretly dug a pit at the foot of the mountain to burn paper for his ancestors. However, when the paper money was burned and the firecrackers were set off, and a slight breeze blew, the surrounding hay was instantly ignited.
The villager was frightened and ran back home. He thought the fire would be out after the hay burned, but who could have imagined that the entire forest was on fire. The fire was so large and spread quickly.
The villager was trembling at home. Even from such a distance he could feel the light of the fire and the scorching air blowing in his face. He was so scared that he dared not tell the truth. He just wanted to play dead to get away with it. He didn't even think about calling the police. Later, it was the villagers who went out to the toilet and found him and called the police.
The villager thought no one noticed that he had accidentally lit the fire, but he was caught within an hour.
It turned out that he did not hide his whereabouts at all when he went to burn paper. Many people in the village saw him taking things to the foot of the mountain, but they were far away at that time and no one knew what he was doing. But when the forest fire broke out, the guard team investigated, and the villagers made associations and found this villager.
Fire trucks rushed to the foot of the mountain, spraying water like it was free. Reporters who arrived at the scene shed tears of heartache while reporting.
I not only feel sorry for the water, but also for the burned forests. God knows it took countless generations of efforts to build the Woan Forest to its current size.
Once it burns down, it will take many years of effort to restore it to its former state!
The fire brigade has rushed to the front line, followed closely by the Qinghe Guard.
The Qinghe Guard stationed in Yun City contacted the detachment in the nearby city and urgently called the detachment's firefighting aircraft to rush to the Wo'an Mountains. After the firefighting aircraft arrived, they ignored the flames and sprayed water and fire retardant to the fire area.
The impact of this incident was so great that General Alliance Officer Li Cheng was woken up by a phone call just after he lay down. He became anxious when he heard the report and hurriedly notified all departments to hold an emergency meeting. Finally, it was decided to delay the opening of the drinking water purchase time. All cities across the country took out half of the drinking water and transported it to Yunshichuan County, and the whole country worked together to put out the Woan forest fire as soon as possible.
Just like that, there was a constant flow of planes in the night sky of Qinghua Country. What was supposed to be a joyous festival was cast under a shadow by the fire.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan slept until almost noon before getting up. One prepared lunch while the other turned on the TV.
I thought the TV was broadcasting various evening parties, variety shows, and TV dramas, but who would have thought that there would be flames and thick smoke, and all the TV stations were broadcasting the Woan forest fire live online.
Bi Qiaoan stopped cooking and sat on the sofa to watch the live broadcast. She and Shen Yanming were both in a heavy mood.
Their building caught fire some time ago, and no matter how serious the fire was, it only affected a few households. But if this forest fire cannot be put out, it may affect half of Qinghua Country!
Bi Qiaoan opened Weibo and found that it was full of various prayer posts. Some residents even expressed their willingness to donate the water in their homes just to make a small contribution.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were also in no mood, so they ate casually and followed the news about the Woan forest fire all day long.
Seeing Bi Qiaoan in a heavy mood, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan into the space. Shen Yanming asked Bi Qiaoan: "Was there such a fire in the previous life?"
Bi Qiaoan shook his head. "I don't know. At that time, everyone was working hard for a living, and no one paid attention to other people's affairs. In the previous life, because everyone was not living well, the Qinghe Alliance controlled public opinion on the Internet."
“So, maybe there was a fire like this in the past life, but Qinghua Country was powerless to stop the fire, so they could only suppress the news.
In this life, Qinghua has made a lot of preparations, and we have the ability to put out the fire. This disaster will strengthen the cohesion of the people of Qinghua, and also let us see more clearly the cruelty of the end of the world! "
Yes, Qinghua Country made a lot of preparations in advance because of Zhang Chenjun's reminder, so the citizens of Qinghua Country experienced the end of the world with plug-ins. This kind of life is very stable, but it makes everyone lose a little vigilance. If something unexpected happens one day, I really don't know how many people can survive.
For two or three days in a row, Shen Yanming did not let Bi Qiaoan leave the space. He either took Bi Qiaoan to pick fruits or to plant medicinal herbs. The two even overcame their psychological barriers in the space and learned how to kill chickens and fish.
It was not until three days later when it was time to go to work that Shen Yanming pulled Bi Qiaoan out of the space. In order to prevent their colleagues from discovering the problem, the two of them got up early and turned on the TV to watch the morning news.
The good news is that after hard work, the Woan forest fire was finally put out.
Unfortunately, the fire killed 35 firefighters and 3 local officials, and crashed 2 firefighting aircraft.
As for water, the drinking water originally planned to be available for Qinghua citizens to purchase was consumed in just a few days...
