Chapter 44 Returning to China
At this moment, every netizen felt as if a heavy alarm bell was ringing in their hearts regarding the blood-red countdown placed on the homepage of the website but ignored by them for a long time.
Doomsday, countdown, prophecy, rescue.
Could it be that the creator of this website is not creating a gimmick to sensationalize the world, but is actually predicting the coming of the end of the world?
As soon as this idea came out, the netizens who posted the spam message felt a chill in their hearts.
They finally noticed the Doomsday Rescue section again. The functions of this section have not yet been opened. There is only a post from the website administrator hanging high at the top - the title is an introduction to the end of the world.
【The next three years:】
[Phase 1: Heavy rain, tornado, tsunami;]
[Phase II: acid rain, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, smog, insect plagues, and crustal movement;]
[Phase 3: Extreme Cold, Unknown.]
It seems that most of the disasters posted by the webmaster are natural disasters, such as rainstorms, tornadoes, tsunamis, acid rain, earthquakes, etc., which have been recorded in human history, and some of them are quite common.
Especially tornadoes and heavy rains, basically one or two countries are attacked by disasters every year.
As for the gray fog, could it be air pollution?
And insect plagues, are they the types that humans focus on preventing?
Everyone's heart started beating fast.
They are optimistic and think that what the website owner posted is just alarmist.
But if this is a doomsday disaster, is it really the type we encounter in normal times?
At this time, they turned their attention to the 100 rescue quotas set by the stationmaster.
The mini program shows that the quota is full.
The first group of people who entered the website began to feel lucky. They liked playing games and thought it was a mysterious internal test conducted by a manufacturer, so they applied for a spot early on.
So, if a disaster occurs, is it possible for them to be rescued and have a better chance of survival?
More people on the website were attracted later. They didn’t even look at the rescue section carefully. Now they are squatting on the rescue section, hoping that the webmaster will release more places.
There are also some people who have some mysterious mission and just pay routine attention when they see the rescue quota.
As for the quota positions, their status is enough to enter the country's high-level shelters. Even if a disaster occurs, they can hide completely in the underground military air-raid shelters hundreds of meters deep without worrying about their lives.
Soon, some people with strong action ability have begun to study the doomsday survival supplies list and make targeted supply storage plans based on the type of disaster predicted by the website.
While keeping an eye on the rescue section of the website, they began to stockpile necessary supplies.
In the flooding forum, netizens also began to discuss how to deal with the disaster, prepare supplies, and even invite various relatives and friends to join in and wait for the spots in advance.
However, this hoarding behavior is only carried out by a small number of young people. Most people are not interested in this conspiracy theory and are too lazy to click on such small websites, so the impact is not very large.
Even some bloggers started discussing this situation, but it did not receive any attention from the relevant departments.
Among Su You’s core fan group, some members were discussing it very excitedly.
It was because Sister You was live streaming a doomsday game that she mentioned the doomsday website. At first, they thought it was a warm-up for a game of the same type, and they excitedly applied for a spot in the internal test.
What we have snatched now is actually the rescue qualification.
After all, most of the people in the group are ordinary people. When they suddenly find out that what they grabbed is a life-saving artifact, they are of course very excited.
After the excitement wore off, a group member asked worriedly, "I still want to grab two spots for my parents. Will the number of rescues be increased?"
"It should be. Judging from what the site owner said, releasing 100 places is probably just a test. They will probably continue to increase the number of places later."
"That's fine. If only I knew when the spots would be released, I could grab them like I'm waiting for my idol's concert."
"I'm guessing the next batch will be announced after the doomsday countdown ends. That's a certain timeframe. I think the site owner will also be paying attention to the comments on the site and won't be in hiding by then."
"Yeah, that's possible. I also think the stationmaster will come out after the countdown. After all, someone who can stand up and predict such things has to bear a lot of pressure. He might not want to reveal his identity before the countdown is over."
"Yes, the webmaster is a really nice person (this is not a derogatory term). The pressure must be huge. Look at how much doubt we faced in the early days. We were even considered to be using gimmicks to attract traffic. If it were me, I would have quit long ago. I didn't expect the webmaster to stick with it, maintaining the server and allowing us to communicate and exchange information."
"Well, that's right. If I had known about the end of the world in advance, I probably wouldn't have told anyone else and would have taken my family to a safe place to prepare in advance."
"Time is running out. If you have the money and time, go buy some emergency supplies. I have the e-versions of the three best books on apocalypse survival. The links are below. Pick them up if you need them."
Seeing this, Su You turned off his phone.
In fact, this is also a small selfish gift she brought to all her friends.
Although she couldn't explain it directly, at least she could save some people before the disaster struck.
Looking at it now, not much has changed either online or in the real world.
But in fact, the undercurrent has begun to surge.
After learning about the infection incident in Snowe City, some institutions in relevant countries will definitely take strict precautions and begin to stockpile supplies urgently.
The power of a country is definitely stronger than that of an individual.
Now ordinary people are being suppressed of the news and don’t know what is really happening, so the whole society will not panic or have order collapse.
Even in the early stages of a disaster, with the suppression of violent machines, people's lives will not change significantly. They may just be short of food and clothing, and their quality of life will decline.
This will also give the government enough time to transfer residents to safe bases.
*
Shenzhen Airport.
After Su You got off the plane, the first person he saw was Manager Wang who came to pick him up.
Manager Wang was very excited to see her.
After getting in the car, I immediately reported to her what I had done in the past few days.
Manager Wang’s main task is to manage the supermarket’s purchasing staff, keep a close eye on the order list and ensure the quality of the goods. Finally, with the help of Sun Liancheng, he will do a good job in the supermarket’s warehousing.
Su You specially registered a company and instructed him to acquire several food factories and raw material factories. The handover has been completed and the production lines are running at full speed.
So even though Su You is not in Shenzhen, Manager Wang has a lot of things to do. He is so busy that he almost relies on strong tea to survive every day.
However, Manager Wang didn't have many complaints. After all, his salary had doubled again and again!
Working late into the night is nothing. For middle-aged people who have to support a family, pay off mortgages, and face unemployment crises, they would rather stay in a super high-paying job for the rest of their lives.
