Chapter 736 The End of the World Is Not Over
The weather in July and August was hot as usual.
Apart from working in the morning and training in the evening, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan would go into the space every day to harvest food, vegetables and meat, or practice swimming.
Qinghua, including other countries, was safe and sound, and no disasters occurred. So there was a wave of "return to normal" comments on the Internet.
"Since this year, there have been no more disasters here. The weather has been good and the harvests have been good. Is the end of the world over?"
"Yeah, I feel like I can do it again! Ahhh, God, I finally made it!"
"So now, should we restore normal social order? Can my company be revived?"
"Oh my god, can I spend the money in my bank card again?"
......
All kinds of comments on the Internet are bombarding everyone's nerves. Some optimists think that the end of the world is far away and they can enjoy modern technology life to their heart's content. They don't have to plant any crops anymore.
The rich scoffed at such statements, but they went with the flow and pushed the theory of the end of the world into the hot search list. Then, while the majority of people who followed the trend were still confused, they bought this year's new grain at high prices and stockpiled it.
Anyway, to them, money is just a number, and it doesn’t matter whether food depreciates in value or not.
Some astute citizens sensed something was wrong. They knew that the rich had their own circles and could get some information that they didn't know in advance. So they followed suit and bought up rice, flour, grain and oil in large quantities, causing chaos in the market for a short time.
The alliance saw through this change and decisively spread the word: "The end of the world is not over yet!"
They deceived themselves and refused to believe. They listed various signs that the planet was getting better and refuted the experts: "Look, if we were still in the end times, how could we be so peaceful? This year has been too smooth!"
This statement is recognized by many people.
Chief Alliance Officer Li discussed with the big guys and decided to directly announce the disappearance of the sea water.
The pictures and videos that were released touched everyone's nerves.
"Oh my god, what is that? Shouldn't it be a beach?"
"That's the continental shelf. Could it be that our continental plates are drifting at high speed? No, the relative position of our country has not changed!"
"Oh my God, where did the sea water go? Is this what we are going to face next? This is too scary!"
Many people feel fear when they see deep sea pictures, marine life, or even dark blue-black colors. This is commonly known as deep-sea phobia.
But now, they can't stand just seeing these shallow sea data, even if the photographer is on the shore.
"How horrible!" This was the only thought in everyone's mind.
Then, I considered what to do?
"Those photos and videos were obviously shot in advance, which means the alliance knew about it a long time ago and has been keeping us in the dark."
"Yes, what do they want to do? Why did they lie to us?"
"Are you trying to disregard human lives?"
Radical elements on the Internet began to find fault and shamelessly insulted the alliance and the Guard.
Some more rational people helped to explain: "Under the current situation, even if it is announced, what can we do? The alliance didn't say anything, probably because they don't want us to live in fear. Knowing too much is not a good thing."
"Yes, if they had a plan, they would have done it long ago. Why would they bother to fool a small fry like you? Since the big guys didn't say anything, they are either trying to come up with a plan or they have no plan to use. No matter which one it is, it's useless no matter how harshly you curse them!"
The two sides were arguing and General Officer Li had to explain the incident.
"The drop in sea level is a phenomenon we observed last year. At first, researchers were worried that they had made a mistake, but the sustainable disappearance of large amounts of seawater forced us to face up to this event. Experts speculate that the next disaster will be related to the ocean, but we are not sure whether it will be a tsunami, an undersea earthquake, or an undersea volcanic eruption. Or perhaps the ocean will simply disappear.
The reason why the relevant information was not released in time was, firstly, to avoid causing fear among the public, and secondly, as everyone had guessed, the expert group had no solution.
This is a phenomenon we have never seen before, and the cause and consequences are unknown. The Alliance has sent dozens of expert teams to the coastal areas to investigate, but still found nothing. Therefore, we can only strengthen monitoring and think about retreat.
Last October, the Alliance recruited laborers on a large scale. I believe you still remember that one group was sent to build a shelter in the Kunmeng Mountains. This will be our last retreat.
Currently, the shelter has completed the construction of Phase I and Phase II, and is preparing to build Phase III and Phase IV. We hope that before the next disaster, all people in coastal areas can be relocated to the Kunming-Mengshan Mountains.
In September, we will start recruiting laborers for the second time and rush to the Kunming-Mengshan Mountains to start construction. If you are young and middle-aged and willing to devote yourself to the construction business, please actively sign up on the official WeChat account of the alliance. "
Chief Alliance Officer Li finally revealed the answer to the mystery.
Parents who had not contacted their children for nearly a year finally found out where their loved ones had gone and what they were doing. They were relieved to learn that they were not engaged in dangerous work.
Some people who did not sign up for special jobs because they were worried that they might be dangerous now regret it.
The people in the coastal areas were originally living in fear and despair. But when they heard that the Alliance had never given up on them and was actively preparing shelters, they shed tears of emotion. It turned out that the Alliance had been silently paying for them and had never stopped.
The war on the Internet has been temporarily resolved. Everyone seems to be more united than ever before.
"Shelter, it turns out that the Alliance is secretly building a shelter. Isn't this too good to be true?"
“Are they only allowing people from coastal areas to move in? What about us inland people?”
"Pah, the inland is so far from the sea, why do we need to seek refuge? If you want, how about we switch places? We who live on the coast are eager to settle inland."
"Hey, you guys do have a point, but the word 'sanctuary' makes me feel especially safe."
"Yes, we are still uncertain about what form the next disaster will take and how large its scope will be. What can we inland people blame for wanting to enter the shelter?"
"It's useless for us to think so much, let's just see how the alliance arranges it."
"Yes, yes, yes. Follow the alliance and you will have all the happiness!"
Seeing that public opinion was finally under control, General Alliance Officer Li said, “We are monitoring the ocean situation every minute and every second. Everything is fine at the moment, and there is no need to move to a shelter for the time being.
Once any abnormality is discovered, the Alliance and the Guard will arrange for residents to evacuate. So, everyone just needs to wait for notification at home."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but there were also some cautious people who packed their luggage and ran directly to Kunmeng Mountain.
