Chapter 25 It’s over!
Since the early morning of the 23rd, almost two-thirds of the entire GJ have been unable to fall asleep due to anxiety.
Then nearly half of them stayed up all night until dawn.
Because the impact of this doomsday story is so great that it directly caused the consumption index of the entire gj to soar in a short period of time.
In order to stock up and prepare for the coming extreme cold, many people have spent almost half of their wealth.
In that doomsday prophecy that was sent out by an unknown person, there were mentions of the natural disasters and mutant beast attacks that they would probably experience in the future, as well as things that they might need to prepare for, and even a method for cultivating supernatural powers.
The story is told in great detail.
You can see the intention of the person who described it.
But these alone are not enough to make people so scared and crazy.
What they were really afraid of was the increasingly obvious red mist in the sky.
Until 9 am on the 24th.
There was gray fog outside the windows of almost every house, and visibility was only about ten meters. As the gray fog became more substantial, the red threads in the fog became more obvious.
What is different from the previous life is that this time, almost all flights and high-speed rail passenger services in the entire GJ have stopped.
This time, no one would be stranded in that cramped carriage with a group of strangers.
The whole world was deserted, with almost no one on the streets. Even the cleaning staff who usually came out to clean before dawn were gone.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
There are still some people who are not afraid of death or have no way to go out to make a living, and they still shuttle through the streets, rushing from home to the company.
There was still one hour left before the natural disaster struck as Jiang Rong remembered.
At this moment, almost everyone from the Jiang, Xin and Zhao families was in Xin Jue's living room. The LCD TV at home was set to the CCTV channel, and the morning news was playing on TV.
But almost no one was in the mood to listen at this moment. Even Jiang Rong's attention was focused on the transparent tempered glass from beginning to end.
In addition, the locations of the houses of Jiang, Xin and Zhao are roughly triangular.
The Jiang family and the Xin family lived side by side on the mountain, while the Zhao family lived opposite the Xin family, but on the opposite side of the mountain slope.
The two houses were very close to each other, with the front door of Xin Jue's house only 5 to 10 meters away from the back of Zhao Caier's house.
But despite this, Jiang Rong and Xin Jue were still worried, fearing that if something happened, they would not be able to take care of it in time.
So after some explanation and persuasion, the two of them successfully persuaded Zhao Caier and her family to move into Xin Jue and Jiang Rong's house with all their belongings.
Xin Jue's house is four stories high, Jiang Rong's house is three stories high, and Zhao Caier's house is four stories high.
Caier’s family’s matter is temporarily on hold.
There was only a corridor less than one meter wide between the buildings of Jiang and Xin's families. Considering the mutant beasts that Jiang Rong had mentioned before, Xin Jue, for safety reasons, asked someone to directly connect the first and third floors of the two houses, and at the same time built two closed passages between the corridors.
Two thickened anti-theft doors and bulletproof doors were reinstalled on both sides of the passage, so that the three families can meet each other without going out, and they don't have to worry about the two families being in danger in case the passage is destroyed. It is equivalent to double insurance.
During the period between Xin Jue's return home and Jiang Rong's return home, Xin Jue renovated the houses of Jiang, Xin and Zhao's families.
All the doors in their three homes are now Class A explosion-proof doors, with two layers and a tempered anti-theft door inside. All the glass windows are also bulletproof glass of the highest specification, and they have also added a soundproof window, an anti-theft window, and a one-way anti-peep film.
However, they are only pasted on the inner windows. The outer windows may be used to place solar panels, so they are not pasted.
In addition to these, Xin Jue also specially installed a lot of sound insulation panels and removable insulation layers, which were installed on almost every wall and floor, to minimize possible noise.
Because Jiang Rong had reminded him before that most mutant beasts in the doomsday had poor eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing were extremely sensitive.
Then there are all kinds of furniture and utensils, almost everything you need.
He reinstalled half of the roof with solar panels.
The other half.
The houses here generally have open-air roofs. In the past, when the weather was hot, the villagers would dry various beans, rice and dried goods on the roof. Now, Xin Jue uses it to store water tanks.
Jiang Rong had reminded him that the decoration he had adopted for the top-floor houses he had bought in the suburbs of the county was almost the same as here.
As for whether the houses they had renovated would be occupied by others, Xin Jue felt it was hard to say.
Maybe, maybe not.
It's a 50-50 split.
Jiang Rong had told him and Cai'er before that after the end of the world, large numbers of mutant beasts would gather in the cities and compete for territory with the superpowers who had taken root in the cities.
So Xin Jue's 50-50 idea is that there is a 50% chance that it will be occupied by someone else, and the other 50% chance that it will be occupied by a mutant beast.
But there are still some differences between them.
If it were occupied by humans, those people would find a way to open the two security doors installed in the corridor, and then open the other doors inside.
But if they are mutant beasts, then those mutant beasts with low IQs will at most occupy a small corridor. If there are no humans they like to eat in the corridor, they will not force their way in with their brains.
So if they have to choose one, they would rather choose to be occupied by mutant beasts with not very good brains.
As for why the three families didn't move there in advance, one reason was that there were many people in the city, which attracted many more mutant beasts than in the countryside. The humans and mutant beasts in the city were constantly fighting each other, and in the early days of the apocalypse, before the abilities of human psychics were improved, they were almost crushed by the mutant beasts.
Secondly, there are many elderly people and children in their families. People's hearts are no longer as pure as they used to be in the doomsday. When there are too many people, there will be intrigues and conflicts. Not only will they be busy resisting mutant beasts, but they will also have to be on guard against those with bad intentions, especially since they have so many supplies, which will be eye-catching if they use them... Life will definitely not be as peaceful as here, relatively speaking.
Besides, the old man was unwilling to leave the village when he died, so there was nothing we could do unless we had no other choice.
Finally, Jiang Rong bought those houses mainly because they would be used to deal with the continued floods in a few years.
But until then, it doesn't matter where you live.
And what she was thinking was, what if the house was really robbed later?
Why not just take it back? If others can occupy the house, why can't they?
What's more, she had the property certificate in her hand, so it was completely legitimate for her to snatch it.
At that time, if the people who lived there before were easy to get along with, we would give them one or two houses. After all, they have lived there for so long, and there are not too many people in the three families.
But if they are difficult to get along with, then those hot weapons they have in their hands will not be to be trifled with.
As for whether there is a possibility of not being able to win?
Of course it does.
But not big.
Although most people with special abilities are powerful, they have only been around for a few short years and are not strong enough to ignore bullets.
Even if there is, that kind of person probably wouldn't live there. He should be in the VIP suite in the base.
Jiang Rong thought sarcastically.
But if they are unlucky... and encounter a gold-attributed mutant, then they can only accept defeat.
Time passes by every second.
The Internet is still relatively smooth at the moment. Most people are waiting for the natural disaster to come. When they are bored and nervous, the best way to divert their attention is to go online.
Therefore, today's major online communication platforms and video interaction platforms are experiencing unprecedented busy operations.
Although the network is still usable for the time being, it is almost on the verge of being maxed out.
There are only a few communication software that are widely used by the public. If there are too many users, they will easily crash.
But no matter what, it hasn't collapsed yet.
At 9:50, the Internet was flooded with discussions about natural disasters.
Many people have already started counting down on the Internet.
Most netizens followed the crowd, so in the last few minutes, almost all netizens were posting countdown numbers such as 1098756321 in the comment section.
Until 0.
0.
Both the Internet and the real world seemed to have stopped for a moment at this moment.
This moment lasted about a minute.
It was ten o'clock.
The sky is still gray at this time and the temperature is normal.
In the blink of an eye, the message area that was filled with countdowns just now was now filled with abuse from hundreds of millions of netizens.
The discussion posts in the comment sections of various communication software commonly used by netizens are rapidly growing.
I was fooled! I was fooled again!
Who the hell is so boring? ! !
Why doesn’t he just die!!!
Damn it, just wait to spend the rest of your life in jail, you idiot!!!
I curse him for life.
Ahhhhhh I'm so pissed.
What on earth are the higher-ups doing? How could they tolerate this kind of information developing to this extent?!
This is what angry people do.
But the speeches of those who were relieved and happy about this were.
Don't be angry. Wouldn't it be better if the doomsday didn't come? Do you really want the doomsday to come? When the doomsday really comes, you will have enough to endure.
Although people who spread rumors are indeed annoying, hehe.
Then, this is what poor workers are like.
Go to work, go to work, go to work, my salary, my performance!!!
Also, I wish that annoying rumormonger to die and stop harming us workers!!!
Afterwards, many furious people immediately drove various means of transportation out to work.
Although they have launched a strong attack on the Internet, when they return to reality, they are still ordinary people who are busy and mediocre. If they don’t go to the company early after wasting half a day, their boss may ask them to stay up all night to work overtime...
At this time, some workers who refused their boss's request and refused to go out to work in the morning were very...desperate to cry.
Except for this group of people, most people are also angry and vent their anger online, but in real life they are still cautious and decide to wait.
The officials at this time also did not relax, and the nerves of almost every department of the government were still tense.
Ordinary people can stay at home at this time, but public officials who are servants of the people cannot.
Most of them still stick to their respective posts.
Nervous waiting.
If this prophecy is true, then the prophet hiding in the dark is the "savior" of all mankind, but if it is false, then they will definitely, absolutely, make him accept legal sanctions and punishment!
The living room on the first floor of the Xin family was unusually quiet at this time.
No one spoke.
Xin Jue and Zhao Caier also looked serious at this moment.
For both of them, whether a natural disaster comes or not, it is not good news.
If you come, you will experience the hopeless end of the world. If you don't come, you will go to jail.
As for Jiang Rong, she looked up at the gray sky outside the window with a frown on her face. She was not optimistic about this.
At this time, in a large jade ore mining area thousands of miles away, a pure white little snake was swallowing happily.
The surrounding mountains were also collapsing rapidly one after another, revealing a large number of solid jadeite raw stones, and these raw stones were being sucked into the small snake's extremely flat belly at an astonishing speed.
There was no one around the mining area at this time.
The staff were all at home waiting for the natural disaster, but when it didn't come, they had no choice but to rush back to the mining area from home, cursing all the way.
But he kept cursing.
A red fog suddenly appeared in the sky. The scene was like watching a horror movie in a movie theater. The red fog looked like blood.
At this time, people who had just left the house and were traveling on the road all had fear in their eyes, as if they were facing a great enemy.
There was only one thought in everyone's mind.
That is it.
It’s over!
