Chapter 15

The rescue team also noticed the situation here, and soon several small boats sped up and rushed forward. They carefully avoided the spider webs hanging between the buildings, with surprise and doubt on their faces, not understanding what happened here. But looking at the compatriots waving enthusiastically in front of them, they still drove over without hesitation.

The boat was moored at the entrance of the bar on the lower floor. The young soldier in the lead looked down at the distance between the bar floor and the water surface, his pupils trembled slightly, and his doubts became even greater.

But at this moment, it was obviously inappropriate for him to ask out loud his doubts.

"Team 334, stand by on the boat." He gave orders to the team members at the back.

The crowd inside the door made way, and the soldiers swiftly jumped onto the ground and saluted everyone, paying tribute to these compatriots who not only saved themselves but also saved others in times of crisis.

The leading volunteer came forward and calmly asked him about the rescue situation. When he learned that the current team was only the vanguard and rescue teams were constantly coming from behind, the crowd burst into excited shouts.

From the volunteers, the young man also learned about the current situation here. Just after the tsunami subsided, this strange building appeared here, and there were three strangers with special abilities. Two of them were outside rescuing people, and one was distributing supplies inside. And this place currently accommodates several thousand survivors, and food and water are still available.

The young soldiers finally calmed down after being tense since the start. The tsunami was too strong and too sudden, far beyond the scientists' original expectations. While the tsunami hit cities along the coast, the storm and huge waves also trapped them. They were forced to stay at the base, and they felt that every moment was torture. The inability to help their compatriots became the deepest pain in their hearts.

Fortunately, the compatriots are trying to save themselves, and a mysterious force is coming to the rescue...

He turned on the headset and reported the situation briefly. There was silence for a moment, and then a voice mixed with wind and rain came over, "Do your best to save people first, and we'll talk about other things later."

Fang Shao was naturally aware of all this. He was thinking about how to deal with the government here when the young soldier, led by the volunteers, quickly came to the top floor and found him next to a pile of express boxes that were taller than his head.

"Pa~" The young man clasped the five fingers of his right hand together and gave Fang Shao a standard military salute.

Fang Shao, who was once an excellent student in military training, straightened his body subconsciously and raised his right hand, but he quickly reacted and tugged at the bottom of Zou Baba's T-shirt with his right hand, pretending to tidy up his appearance.

"Second Lieutenant Wang Lei of the Earth United Government, thank you very much for your selfless rescue." The young soldier said solemnly.

"You're welcome. I just happened to happen to meet him. I can't just stand by and watch him die." Fang Shao was also very sincere. He raised his right hand and pointed in the air, and a screen appeared in front of him.

【Time remaining 23:12:05】

"The most important thing now is to save lives. I can still hold out here for another 23 hours. During this period, you can use my place as a backup station. But once the time is up, everyone must evacuate."

Wang Lei's face straightened. "Understood. I'll report this to my superiors immediately."

At this moment, a golden-red light lit up from a distance, circling between several helicopters and causing a commotion in the intercom system.

"What is that?"

"Are they rebels?"

Fortunately, both sides carefully kept their distance and exercised restraint from each other, so Iron Man successfully landed at the bar with two groups of survivors.

"All units remain calm, they are friendly!" Then a voice ended the little commotion.

This time Iron Man didn't leave in a hurry. He flew in front of Fang Shao and the others at a low altitude, raised his mask, and his expression was a little serious. He looked at Wang Lei, who was dressed as a soldier, guessed his identity, and asked, "What's the situation here? How could such a big tsunami happen, and after half an hour, the angle between the earth and the sun has not changed at all."

Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the leader's voice through the headset, "Tell him."

"Solar crisis, we are preparing to take the Earth to other galaxies. Now is the first step of the plan, the Earth stops rotating..." Wang Lei racked his brains to recall and summarize, almost blurting out half a sentence.

Is there anyone who still doesn’t know about The Wandering Earth Project?

Where did they come from?

"Solar crisis?" Stark raised his head and looked at the huge star above him that was slightly dim in the wind and rain. How could a crisis occur on this planet that has been burning for hundreds of millions of years?

"The earth stopped rotating, and due to inertia, it caused a tsunami..." Fang Shao sighed.

Tsunamis, Shanghai, solar crisis, Earth stops.

All the factors finally came together.

This is the world of little broken balls.

The second part of The Wandering Earth was just released this year. Fang Shao reviewed the first part of The Wandering Earth in advance, so he was still impressed by many of the plots. At this point in time, the Earth just stopped rotating, causing a tsunami to wreak havoc on coastal cities. This was a catastrophe that caused the human population to decrease by nearly half.

Stark raised his thick eyebrows, "You are quite knowledgeable. I thought you were only interested in magic like Strange."

Fang Shao glanced at him. He was an undergraduate student at a 211 university. Although he didn't study science, he still had basic knowledge of high school physics. Moreover, Dr. Strange was also a doctor of medicine and a well-known neurosurgeon. He was just forced to change his career midway, but Iron Man made him sound like an ancient person who didn't understand science.

While the two were talking, Wang Lei received new instructions. He said to Fang Shaoran, "To facilitate the rescue work, I will lead Team 334 to stay here as a liaison for the time being."

"That's great. Thank you for your help." Fang Shao was happy to see it happen.

After linking this world with the little broken ball, Fang Shao felt that Wang Lei in front of him also looked familiar. Could this be the rescue captain Wang Lei in the movie? He looked at the young and handsome face in front of him, secretly comparing him with the cold and gloomy captain in his memory.

Wang Lei quickly called his team members up from the boat. Fang Shao looked around and didn't see any familiar faces. It made sense, as the Jupiter crisis was still more than a decade away. Especially the technician Li Yiyi and the heroic female team member Zhou Qian, they should still be children now.

At this time, Spider-Man also jumped back, and he directly put the spider silk on the chassis of the helicopter, and his speed was much faster than before. Seeing so many strangers in the bar, he was careful not to take off his spider suit, and stayed behind Iron Man obediently.

Seeing the two superheroes standing together, an old man who was resting nearby finally couldn't help but walk over tremblingly. He looked at Stark's face and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, are you Tony Stark?"

"And Peter Parker?" He turned to Spider-Man again.

The Iron Man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Spider-Man was so frightened that he took two steps back, waving his hands repeatedly, trying to cover up his mistake. "It's not me, it's not me." It would be fine if Mr. Stark was recognized, but why was his identity exposed even though he was wearing a hood?

Fang Shao was not too surprised. Harry and Spider-Man could recognize Totoro, so it was not so strange that the people of Wandering Earth could recognize superheroes.

The volunteer who was taking care of the injured patient came over and helped the old man away. "I'm sorry, this old man just swallowed some water and his mind is still a little unclear."

Fang Shao smiled and said, "It's okay. Thank you for your hard work."

Wang Lei on the side didn't say anything, but secretly memorized the old man's face.

After receiving authorization from his superiors, Wang Lei showed his system to Stark, who was not polite and directly connected the AI ​​to the rescue team's system, synchronizing the life signal points he had detected and marking different colors according to whether the life was in danger or not. This greatly increased the work efficiency of the rescue team.

Everything is arranged properly, Iron Man speeds up and rushes to the distance, making the most of his speed advantage for rescue. But Peter goes inside the building and uses his strengths in places with complex structures.

More than ten hours passed, and all the people who could be found had been rescued. The number of people sent to the bar gradually decreased, and finally basically stagnated. But the rescue team continued to shuttle across the water and shout, trying to find some more lucky people trapped in some inconspicuous place.

Because the earth stopped rotating, the night that was supposed to come did not fall. The sun shone calmly on the city submerged by the sea. The fatigue on the faces of the rescue team was clearly visible, and their throats became hoarse from shouting, so they had to switch to the tweeters that kept playing.

After all, it was a metropolis that once had a population of tens of millions. Even if most of them had moved to the underground city and other places, the number of tens of thousands of survivors was too small.

The number of people in the bar was also decreasing. At its peak, it was crowded with nearly 10,000 people, and then they gradually moved out. Wang Lei said that at the outermost edge of the city, there were two huge aircraft carriers parked on the sea that Fang Shao could not see. They would transfer the survivors of the city to the final resettlement point.

It has to be said that the government's measures are in place, but in the face of such a disaster, human power seems both great and small.

Iron Man and Peter also came back. The boy was so tired that he couldn't even spin a spider web. His Mr. Stark, like a careless parent, put him in a creaky nest and brought him back.

Fang Shao opened a small door for them, and the two superheroes pushed the door open and left amid the grateful and astonished gazes of the crowd.

When the 24-hour deadline arrived, only Wang Lei's team and a dozen volunteers who helped collect supplies and garbage were left in the bar.

Fang Shao gathered everyone in front of him.

"Buzz~" The trembling sound around rang out again.

This time, Fang Shao's command was no longer needed. The walls and the ground began to deform automatically. The two empty floors below were directly tightened inwards, and countless structures disappeared in the air. The few foreign objects that had not been packed up fell directly from the air and fell into the sea below, splashing waves one after another.

On the floor where the bar was originally located, the ground in the distance disappeared completely, the length of the walls on all four sides was shrinking rapidly, and the ceiling was constantly descending, approaching the crowd.

The door of the bar closely followed the changes of the wall. "Click~click~", the bricks and frames seemed to be dancing, most of them turned back into square holes in the wall, only one door still maintained the shape of a door, but returned to its original size. The original glass door and windows also reappeared, and the wind chime pattern behind the glass door did not move, as if they had always stayed quietly in the same place.

In a few moments, the bar was back to normal.
