Chapter 69 The Second Meteorite Shower
(Including 2w5 nutrient solution plus extra!)
There are more than one predicted conclusions.
The second meteorite shower will be at night six days later, and the quantity and quality will be only a quarter of the first one. The third
meteorite shower will be three months later, and the quantity and quality cannot be determined for the time being.
These predicted conclusions are not agreed by all experts, and the approval rate is about 60 to 70 percent.
It is inevitable that scholars and experts from various countries disagree and cannot unify their opinions for the first time to predict such an event. It is also undeniable that some countries sent experts to the online conference to deliberately confuse the public.
In any case, the current proportion is already quite high.
Countries that have experienced a round of meteorite attacks are actively preparing, and this time it is better to believe it than not. Other countries that were lucky enough to survive the first round of meteorite showers intact were also making more or less preparations.
After discussing with the three of them, Youxi decided to wait until the second meteorite shower hit before leaving.
After all, judging from the first meteorite shower, the experts' predictions were not that accurate...
and six days was too short. If they left now, they might not be able to find a completely safe hiding place along the way. At the same time, they also wanted to verify whether the experts' predictions were credible.
At present, inland transportation in some areas and cities of Country M has been temporarily restored, but because the meteorite showers damaged railroads, trains, airport runways, airplanes... so very few routes have been restored.
Youqi called several nearby airlines, and all international long-distance passenger flights were still grounded. As for short domestic trips, they were told that all seats were full before the meteorite rain forecast date, and most of them were provided to passengers who had booked tickets before but were stranded.
As for after the forecast date, it depends on the situation after the meteorite strike.
The same is true for trains. There are too many damaged rails and there is no time to repair them. Most routes are at a standstill.
In this case, the only way to return home is by boat.
They have already chosen a port city to leave by boat, W City in the northern district. This city is one of the few cities in M country that has not been hit by the meteorite rain.
It is about 1,200 kilometers from their location. Now many people in the southern M country are moving north, and there are quite a few people who want to take refuge in W City.
So they have a lot of preparations to do, such as discussing marking routes on the map and reinforcing the SUV. This reinforcement is naturally not for preventing meteorites, but for preventing people.
Tang Yatong has a friend in W City who told her that large passenger cruise ships are still in operation, with one leaving the port every day, but all long-distance shipping has been cancelled without exception, and only short-distance shipping, the farthest reaching U City in J Country, is available.
Tang Yatong knows this route, which runs along the coastline of the east coast, and the entire shipping time is about two days.
Now it seems that if they want to return to China, they can only find a way to go north along the east coast of the continent of M Continent, and finally cross the strait directly across the ocean area, and then find a way to go south from the northern part of the central continental region.
This route is a bit circuitous, but you can stop and go along the way, and it is also the only route that can be planned at present.
Afterwards, the three of them took action.
There are a lot of maintenance tools in the garage of the villa, and there is also a warehouse in the backyard with a lot of things. They put together and prepared to turn the SUV into an "iron cage", first put up iron mesh, and then welded steel bars, so that even if the glass is broken, people outside cannot get in.
Youxi originally thought about whether to take out the RV and reinforce the RV directly, so that it can be more comfortable on the road.
However, considering the type of this doomsday, it was decided not to do so. The speed and flexibility of the RV are not as good as those of the SUV. When encountering a meteorite rain attack, what matters is speed, not comfort.
As for the SUV, they now have two spaces and can go into battle lightly. They don't need to put any luggage in the car, so they plan to flatten two-thirds of the back seat of the SUV, leaving only one-third for sitting.
After the two-thirds are flattened and covered with a velvet blanket, the three of them can take turns to rest while driving.
**
Before the predicted day comes, they reinforce and modify the SUV in front of the garage during the day, park the car in the garage (transportation space) at night, and go back to the air-raid shelter to rest.
Youqi and Youxi are mainly responsible for modification, while Tang Yatong is mainly responsible for cooking.
Since she has space, Youxi has given her some of the various vegetables, meat, seafood, fruits, eggs, milk, staple foods, ice cream, desserts, beverages, seasonings, and pots and pans that they had previously stockpiled, so that she can use them conveniently, so Tang Yatong has been very enthusiastic about cooking these days.
This is the advantage of a large villa and a large courtyard. As long as the doors and windows are locked and the curtains are drawn, no matter whether lamb chops are frying or oysters are grilled inside, people outside cannot smell the smell.
Of course, there is another reason why they are so at ease cooking in the villa.
Now in the entire villa area, they are the objects of fear in everyone's heart. No one dares to approach their villa - even the villa closest to them, which belongs to two men and one woman, has never had new people dare to move in.
The bald man's killing of a man and a woman that night was too loud, and the rocket launcher later was even louder. Some people trembled and hid in the villa, while others bravely used telescopes to check the situation after the explosion.
The situation in the courtyard could not be clearly seen by outsiders because of the trees.
The other party only saw three young yellow women carrying out corpses one after another from the yard, and some even had incomplete body parts... Later, they set fire to the corpses.
Murder and burning of corpses, such atrocious things are particularly horrible because the perpetrators are three yellow women.
After the news spread, the others who had been hiding in the villa on their own gradually united.
No matter if they are cowardly or scheming, when a powerful foreign enemy appears in front of them, the others will temporarily put aside their principles and unite in order to protect themselves.
Youxi was the first to know about this.
That day, when Youxi was helping Youqi reinforce the SUV outside the garage, he saw a little girl of five or six years old walking out of the yard of the villa diagonally opposite. The other party seemed to be a little curious about them. She stared at them for a while and wanted to come over.
As a result, before she had taken two steps, her mother rushed out and hugged her back. As they walked, she whispered to the girl not to get close to those yellow people, saying that they were all monsters who would eat children.
Youxi, who had super hearing: ...
After that, she deliberately walked around the neighborhood along the driveway. As a result, wherever she went, she heard either fearful curses or angry curses because she felt that she couldn't do anything...
Only then did she realize that the three of them had become the public enemy and murderer of the villa area...
After she went back, she told this to Youqi and Tang Yatong. Both of them were helpless. They were just trying to protect themselves, but they took the blame for the real murderer.
Moreover, when the real killer came out to do evil that night, there were so many people in the villa area, and many people should have heard the screams of the man and the woman, but no one thought of helping them during the whole process.
If they hadn't killed the bald man, with his perverted appearance, he would probably look for prey in every villa. It would be hard to say who would be found and who would survive.
After all, the three of them were the saviors of the entire villa area, and they should be thanked!
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you curse or thank me, we won't live here forever anyway." Youqi felt that this matter could not be resolved. Although Tang Yatong felt annoyed, she also knew in her heart that Youqi was right.
There was no need to explain this matter, and with the problem of racial discrimination that has existed since ancient times, they couldn't explain it clearly even if they wanted to.
But Youxi had experienced the zombie world, and her expectations of people's hearts in this doomsday environment were very, very low. She knew that a group of people with different thoughts would eventually make all kinds of hypocritical decisions.
The SUV was roughly reinforced. Two nights before the predicted date, Youxi was awakened again by the sound from the surveillance screen. This time, not long after she woke up, Youqi and Tang Yatong also woke up in shock. The noise
from the surveillance was too loud. Many people came to the villa on the ground. They stood in the front yard with various looted weapons in their hands. Compared with the white man who sneaked in quietly last time, this time the other party relied on their numbers and did not think about keeping a low profile at all.
They shouted loudly for the murderer to get out of the villa, get out of this community, and get out of their country!
Some people really wanted them to leave: "We've called the police! The town police will be here soon. If you don't leave, you will have to bear the consequences!"
Some people had other purposes and kept steering the conversation: "I know you killed your neighbors for water and supplies! The truck parked in the driveway originally belonged to them, right? You lured people to your villa for supplies, and then killed them when they were not prepared! You took all the supplies for yourself!"
"Yes! That night I clearly heard someone shouting for help, and then you moved a lot of bodies out of the yard, and set fire to destroy the evidence... You murderers, hurry up and leave everything that doesn't belong to you and get out of this area!"
...
"Fuck!" Tang Yatong was so angry that she took out an AK from the space.
You Qi looked at her and said, "What do you want to do?"
"You still want to endure this? Aren't you angry at all?"
You Qi looked at her with burning eyes and said, "I am angry. How can I not be angry when I am wronged and driven away like this? But what can I do if I am angry? What can I do after you get out?"
"Let them go." Tang Yatong checked the bullets and found that they were full.
"If they don't leave, you should be able to see that most of these people were instigated to come here. Someone is designing and guiding them. The target is our supplies. It's probably speculation or something. The other party thinks that we have hidden a car of supplies here-although the fact is indeed so."
Youqi sighed, "I want to say that since they came for supplies, they can't leave because of your warning. If you show up, it's like delivering yourself to the door. At that time, you will only have two choices, kill the people who rush over, or be caught by them, and then be threatened to hand over all the supplies."
Youqi paused here, and then said: "Do you want to... kill them all?"
Tang Yatong didn't say anything.
She knew all of what Youqi said.
And Youqi certainly knew that Tang Yatong understood all of what she said.
However, because of the bald man, she robbed and killed someone for the first time, and then she got the other party's card and space, so emotional fluctuations are inevitable.
Youqi can feel that Tang Yatong has been a little agitated these days. Sometimes she repeatedly collects items, and sometimes she smokes silently in the villa.
She can understand her. If it were her, she would jump out of the team of ordinary people overnight and become special inexplicably, and her emotions would also fluctuate.
But the more times like this, the more cautious you have to be. A wrong choice may lead to a road of no return.
She believes that Tang Yatong can digest it herself, but before she completely digests these emotions, she has to keep an eye on her and remind her in time to prevent her from making a decision that she will regret.
Tang Yatong cursed again, and lazily put away her AK, put it directly on the table, and turned to the sofa.
On the surveillance screen, the shouting crowd began to fight, throwing stones at their villa, the glass windows were broken, shattering all over the floor, the glass windows in the kitchen were also broken, and glass shards fell all over the stove.
Someone rushed to the door, broke the door lock with a robbery, invaded their villa, and searched everywhere.
Tang Yatong became more and more angry. When she was furious, Youxi, who had not spoken a word, walked over, stood in front of her, and then stretched out his hand, a cup of hazelnut latte appeared in one hand, and a matcha ice cream appeared in the other hand, and asked her which one she wanted?
Tang Yatong looked at the girl with fluffy yellow hair standing in front of her, and felt like a balloon that was suddenly poked, and her anger subsided.
In fact, she knew that in this country, it was normal for ordinary people to rob and rob. If she went out at this time, the other party would never let her go under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives. She couldn't drive them away, and if she didn't want to be caught, she could only rob.
As long as she hit one of them, this matter would have no end. Either she would be beaten to death by them, or she would kill all or some of them.
By then, even if it was self-defense, it would be tantamount to confirming the title of a murderer.
For a few fleas and little clowns, letting one's life fall into blood and misfortune, this is what an idiot would do!
Tang Yatong took the ice cream, leaned on the sofa and ate it slowly.
Youxi smiled, walked to Youqi again, and handed her the cup of latte.
"Drinking coffee in the middle of the night?" Youqi looked at her well-behaved and sensible sister.
Youxi waved her hand, and all kinds of snacks they bought in the supermarket appeared on the table next to the computer: "I can't sleep anyway, let's eat something."
Youqi nodded and took a bag of potato chips.
Youxi drank the cup of coffee herself.
Because they learned from the last lesson, and Tang Yatong now has space, they will put away all the useful things before going downstairs every time, not even leaving a pair of chopsticks, let alone food.
On the computer screen, several people who were maliciously stirring up trouble found nothing in the villa, and began to discuss finding the entrance to the basement.
After that, because they didn't find it, they started to wantonly destroy the furniture and water and electricity in the villa.
The noise of beating and smashing was too loud, and some of the other people who came with them backed off, but most of them followed suit.
Since the meteorite disaster, everyone has been under great pain and pressure, and now it seems that they have found an outlet for venting, and each one is crazier than the other.
Tang Yatong finished eating ice cream, brushed her teeth, and said that it was better to turn a blind eye to it, and went back to sleep.
After she entered the room, You Xi pulled a chair and sat down next to You Qi: "Sister, let's go to bed too. You can turn off the sound or put on headphones to listen to music."
"No, I want to watch." You Qi's body was shaking slightly, but it was not obvious because she was trying her best to hide it. "I want to see how ugly and crazy the human heart can be, and then remind myself... not to become that kind of monster."
You Xi hummed and leaned against her gently: "It's okay. Even if the water and electricity in the villa are cut off, it will not affect the air-raid shelter. Even if it really affects it, there is no need to be afraid. I have plenty of water in my space...
Also, let's not go up for the next few days, just stay here first. Anyway, the SUV has been reinforced almost, and we will head north after the predicted date."
"Okay."
That night, a group of crazy people who came with various purposes made a fuss for two full hours before leaving.
The doors and windows of the villa were smashed by them, the furniture was toppled and shattered, and several cameras in the villa were also damaged.
But in the final analysis, these can not affect the three of them. There is not much difference between staying in the air-raid shelter during the day and staying in the villa.
On the evening of the day before the predicted day, when Youqi passed by the computer screen, she saw through the camera in the backyard that the sky suddenly turned an ominous light red.
Her first feeling was that it was the sunset, but she soon reacted-if it was the sunset, it would be impossible for the entire sky to turn this color.
She immediately called Youxi and Tang Yatong, and the two came out of the room and also saw the abnormality in the sky. There is only one situation that can turn the sky into this color - meteorites, and a large amount of burning meteorites!
"Are both doors locked?" Youqi was anxious.
"Don't worry! Sister Yatong and I will check them again after you lock them every time."
"Something seems wrong this time -" Tang Yatong opened the storage room, pulled the two of them in, closed the door, put all the scattered items in the space, and then asked Youxi if there were any soft cushions or something like that.
Youxi took out a few quilts, half of them were placed on the ground, and the other half was placed on the heads of the three people after they sat down against the wall.
In fact, this action is not very meaningful. After all, this is a sturdy air-raid shelter built on the fourth floor underground. If even this collapses, they will have no way out. This is just a comfort in their hearts.
Boom - a dull and huge explosion sounded nearby. As people screamed, the high temperature burned the houses and buildings around the meteorite and the people who had just hidden in the basement, and the earth shook slightly.
The meteorite attack was once again advanced, almost thirty hours earlier.
This time, the villa area was not spared and was the first to bear the brunt of the heavy meteorite rain.
**
The explosions above their heads came one after another, and they could feel that the entire air-raid shelter was shaking with the shaking of the earth.
Youqi sat between the two of them, holding her hands tightly on both sides.
The explosions continued from the evening until the evening. After seven o'clock, the noises gradually became less frequent and the earthquakes stopped, but several explosions were still very close.
The three people leaned on each other and fell asleep in the small storage room.
When they woke up again, it was already past four in the morning of the next day.
All the explosions outside stopped, and the three people stood up with the support of each other. After sitting all night, their hands and feet were stiff, but fortunately they were all alive.
Youxi put away the quilt, and the three of them walked out of the storage room. In the living room, some bottles and jars on the table were overturned and fell, but the slightly larger furniture was intact.
Youqi went to check the computer and found that the screen was completely black, and all the cameras were damaged.
Tang Yatong went to check the water and electricity. The electricity had automatically jumped to the generator, and the tap water was cut off. Tang Yatong went to turn on the switch of the water tank. Youxi turned on the TV, but all channels could not be connected.
The signal of the mobile phone was intermittent, and the call could not be made at all.
The three of them were in a heavy mood and stayed in the basement for another day. On the next morning, the three of them discussed whether to go out and take a look. The result of the discussion was to wait one more day. After all, the last meteorite rain lasted for three days.
On the morning of the third day, they began to pack up all the things in the air-raid shelter, including movable furniture and household items such as refrigerators and televisions. The generator was also dismantled and taken away, and even the water in the water tank was not left.
Afterwards, they packed a fake travel bag, put some clothes and fast food in it, and asked Tang Yatong to put it away.
At Youxi's suggestion, the three of them put on protective clothing and gas masks, carefully opened the door of the transition space, and came from the vertical shaft to the ground.
The titanium alloy sealed door in front of them was intact. Youxi put her ear to it and listened carefully to the movement outside.
Through the heavy metal door and the fake vegetation layer, she could not hear any movement outside. Except for the sound of the wind, there was a dead silence.
She put on the gas mask again and opened the door.
**
A black scorched earth, the tree warehouse in the backyard and their villa were all gone.
The buildings collapsed into pieces, and flames were still burning in some places. The trees were burned into black charcoal, and the once green lawns disappeared.
Walls, street lights, cars... everything that had existed was blown into pieces by the explosion and then melted by the high temperature.
They looked at this strange world through the lenses of their gas masks, trembling physically and mentally.
The air was still filled with black dust that had not yet completely dissipated. They stepped through various shapes of black charcoal, and it was difficult to tell the directions.
Youxi took out a compass and found that it was completely useless.
The sky in this area was covered with low dust clouds that had not yet dissipated, blocking most of the sunlight. They relied on vague shadows to identify the direction, and finally found where the previous driveway was, and then walked out along the driveway that was no longer visible.
Occasionally, they would see half a villa, like an isolated island in the ocean, with the furniture and walls inside exposed, standing there broken.
They saw many parts that looked like human bodies, but they were all burnt. They couldn't tell who had smashed their villa that night.
They also saw a metal door exposed on the ground. It was the entrance to another air-raid shelter. There were several burnt corpses crawling at the entrance. They didn't know if it was because of the delay in scrambling to get into the air-raid shelter that no one managed to hide in the end.
Youqi's body was cold. She thought of the three of them. If they hadn't been disturbed by the people in the villa area that evening, they should have been on the ground at that time.
When the meteorite rain came, did they have time to hide in the air-raid shelter?
Would they be the same as these people?
They walked for a while and then saw a car that was almost melted by the high temperature. This was probably because someone found something wrong and wanted to drive away from the area, but they failed.
They did not walk through the entire villa area, but just walked straight forward along the driveway, so they had no idea whether there were other survivors under this black scorched earth.
It was very quiet all around, and they did not see anyone. It took them about three hours to completely walk out of the scorched earth area.
They walked across the lawn, and behind a hidden tree, Youxi took out the reinforced SUV.
"I'll drive first, and you go to the back to rest." Tang Yatong took off her gas mask, patted the shoulders of the two, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, and then tried to search for a radio station, hoping to get news from the outside world.
Youxi and Youqi got on the back seat, took off their gas masks and protective suits, and then leaned back and let out a long breath.
They had once again brushed shoulders with death.
Youxi took out three bottles of water and three burgers, and the three of them quickly replenished their energy.
