Federal Executive.
This building stands on the mountainside and is built by the water. It has wide views on all sides and is an excellent location to overlook everything.
Even though it is a holiday, there should be quite a few employees working in shifts.
In the natural disaster monitoring room, there was only one diligent new employee sitting at his post in a daze, as if he had been abandoned by his home, with dull eyes and no life.
"Hey, man, think positively," another senior employee on shift put lunch in front of the new employee, "We can't even choose to be born, let alone die?"
The new employee lazily raised his eyelids, sighed, and slowly opened his lunch box. "Brother Zhang, is the Tianshen really going to set off?"
The old employee sneered, pulled out a chair and sat down without saying anything.
Sometimes silent silence is the most powerful answer.
Yes, someone always has to sacrifice for the great human civilization.
Ordinary people are the first choice.
"Warning! Warning! Warning!"
The three AI smart announcements lifted their spirits a little.
Shocking red words appeared on the monitoring device screen:
[A 10.2-magnitude undersea earthquake was detected at a depth of 40 kilometers underwater in the north of the Dongjiang Sea area. It is far away from the Dongjiang coast and the urban area, and the tremor is slight, but this crustal movement may trigger a Category IV tsunami.
Countdown: 120 seconds
Is a warning alert sent to the public? 】
The two of them were stunned for several seconds before they reacted and looked at each other.
The new employee subconsciously clicked OK, but was held on the wrist by the old employee.
"Disasters are unavoidable. The magnitude warning the day before yesterday was inaccurate. It was issued so as not to cause panic. If a devastating disaster were to occur, it might be better not to issue it. Moreover, the Federal Executive Bureau has warned us not to issue it."
There is a difference between knowing about death in advance and facing death temporarily. At least the former dies in fear, while the latter lives in anticipation.
The new employee laughed at himself, "The Federal Administration has given up on us."
What this means is that we no longer need to obey their orders and become their numb lackeys!
The old employee fell into deep thought, then released the new employee's wrist with relief, "You are right, ordinary people also have the right to know about disasters."
The new employee then pressed a button, releasing information about the devastating natural disaster that the Federal Administration had banned.
The two smiled knowingly, as if making a last effort in desperation.
"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
The old employee turned around, his frown suddenly relaxed, "Commander-in-chief, you didn't get on board?"
The commander-in-chief's eyes lit up and he said forcefully: "The armed forces have received a red tsunami warning. We stand with the people."
The new and old employees couldn't help but feel tears in their eyes and nodded silently.
A ray of hope shines through the cracks in a divided society.
"Gentlemen, are you willing to stay and continue monitoring disaster warnings?" The commander-in-chief's voice was trembling, as if he was requesting something he was least good at.
"Of course!" said new and old employees in unison.
The commander-in-chief nodded, gave the two men the highest military salute, and then turned and ran towards the people.
Two minutes later.
The whistling sound of the wind resounded through the sky. Because they were near the sea, the new and old employees heard the first roar from the deep sea before anyone else on the shore.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the originally calm waves sank, and in the distant sky, the horizon suddenly surged up, forming a terrifying staircase shape, rushing towards the coast!
Just as the two men's legs reacted to dodge, the stepped waves, mixed with huge energy, formed an airtight high wall, ruthlessly crashing into the floor-to-ceiling window in front of them.
With a loud "boom", the originally stable house was filled with sparks due to too many electronic equipment. The two could even clearly hear the thickened glass making a "creaking" sound, and the water pressure instantly squeezed out intricate cracks on it.
The voice of the AI intelligent broadcast sounded again, terrifyingly calm.
"Warning! Warning! Warning!"
The display shows:
[It has been detected that a magnitude 9.9 earthquake is about to occur in Dongjiang City.
Countdown: 180 seconds
Was a warning issued to the public? 】
The old employee was knocked down by the violent impact of the huge waves. A machine hit his right leg, and the piercing pain made him unable to move.
The new employee staggered to her feet and looked at the red words on the screen. The moment she reached out her hand, huge waves broke through the glass and swallowed everything.
…
At the same time, at the dock of the God base.
Luo Ci curled up in the corner, the dock was right in front of her, and the giant God was within reach.
But she couldn't get on the boat.
The deception of my biological parents echoed in my ears:
"We, a family of four, will stay together forever."
"Let's get on board together, and Mom and Dad will figure it out."
"Xiaoci, I'm sorry, mom and dad are limited in their ability. We don't have that much money, so we can only let my brother get on the boat..."
Luo Ci snorted coldly, looking at the densely packed ordinary people crowding at the cabin entrance and arguing with the guards who were also unable to get on the ship. Such arguments were pale and redundant.
My roommates have a special VIP channel, and the hatch here is just a back door reserved for the families of those who participated in the design and research of the Tenshen.
Truth cannot be hidden, and ordinary people will resist, causing the door to the cabin entrance to never be closed.
Luo Ci looked dejectedly at his parents who were trying desperately to keep his brother alive. The scene of the two of them hugging each other and crying made this blood relationship seem ridiculous to the extreme.
If she hadn't heard the gossip from her roommate, the whole family would still be kept in the dark. Haha, how ironic this "family" is.
Luo Ci couldn't help but think of the scene of Su Wanxing stockpiling goods. Wanxing is always the most rational. Even if he doesn't know about the devastating disaster, he will survive by relying on his amazing sense of crisis.
I still feel very guilty.
She picked up her phone and saw the tsunami warning.
Countdown: 5 seconds.
When approaching death, people who still hold out hope will try their best to escape, while people like Luo Ci who have lost all hope will probably just wait for death calmly.
With his nose feeling sore, Luo Ci tried to make one last call to Su Wanxing.
The moment the call was connected, she saw that the Tianshen forcibly closed the hatch, regardless of the lives of ordinary people. Some people managed to squeeze in, while others were cut in half the moment the hatch closed.
"Hello." The voice of the evening star.
When Luo Ci learned that she was still alive, he relaxed his brows and said, "I'm sorry."
"sorry……"
Su Wanxing hadn't figured out why Luo Ci apologized, when she heard a "gurgling" sound from the other end of the phone, as if she had plunged into the deep sea and was suffocating in an instant.
Then the phone rang for a while, and then there was no more message.
"Luo Ci? Luo Ci!"
No one answered, but instead a cold alarm sounded.
"Red tsunami warning alarm, countdown: 4 seconds..."
Su Wanxing's arm holding the phone suddenly froze, and his eyes turned from confusion to the front.
In the distance, the sea surface was rolling, as if there was a huge energy brewing in it.
Armed jeeps rushed into the beach, and the dark armed uniforms suddenly covered the colorful swimsuits.
The people have not been abandoned!
The armed forces are evacuating the crowd!
Suddenly, the sea level rose and Su Wanxing quickly realized that a tsunami was coming!
The causes of tsunamis are probably undersea earthquakes, underwater volcanic eruptions, or underwater ground collapse, etc. Regardless of the cause, the energy released is equivalent to the power of several nuclear bombs.
She immediately put her phone into the virtual warehouse, picked up the big orange dog at her feet, and rushed into the garden restaurant first. Who would care whether pets can enter now?
No wonder Daju led her to this restaurant and had them dine so close to the restaurant's entrance. The intention was probably so that she could quickly find a place to hide when a tsunami occurred.
If we really went to that Michelin restaurant which only has two floors, the consequences would be disastrous.
Su Wanxing was the one who reacted the fastest in the crowd, and her sprinting speed was also different from that of ordinary people. Although she was usually a dead otaku who loved playing games, she also took good care of her body and insisted on exercising for no more than two hours every day.
Some people chose to take the elevator, while Su Wanxing ran to the corridor. Once a tsunami occurs, the speed of the huge waves can reach more than 800 kilometers per hour, and taking the elevator is completely unwise.
When she ran to the fifth floor without taking a breath, she looked out of the narrow corridor window and saw that the waves were swallowing up the weak and helpless humans one by one at an alarming speed, sweeping across the ground.
At this height, you can just see the vehicles on the opposite side being swept into the waves, and an unprecedented chase officially begins.
The old man and children running at the end were undoubtedly caught in the surging waves and were submerged in an instant.
The Michelin restaurant on the second floor was directly overturned by the sea and no trace of it was left.
The diners in the open-air restaurant were bumped and knocked by the dense crowd of people fleeing, and the loving young couple were facing a life-and-death decision.
In the end, the young man resolutely pulled the girl's hand away and rushed towards the restaurant door without hesitation.
The girl was submerged in the ocean, with one hand still stretched out in front of her, full of hope.
“Boom—”
The waves hit the window in front of Su Wanxing with a heavy blow, and the entire restaurant building shook violently for a moment.
Presumably, that treacherous man could not escape the abyss of the ocean.
An unpleasant burning smell rushed into Su Wanxing's nose. He turned his head and found that the elevator had already been sparking and the crowded people inside were probably dead.
She started running upwards.
The water wall brought by the tsunami cannot be just a momentary one, it may be even more violent in the future. Before the more powerful energy wave arrives, Su Wanxing has to run as high as possible.
At this time, we can only gamble that no corners were cut when building the restaurant!
In times of crisis, people will have unlimited potential.
After climbing all the way to the fifteenth floor, Su Wanxing didn't feel tired at all. In the face of death, tiredness is not worth mentioning at all.
Many people followed Su Wanxing, running and stopping along the way. After the second impact of the "water wall", everyone sat quietly on the ground, waiting for nature's warning.
Su Wanxing looked through the window on the fifteenth floor and saw that the second water wall was obviously much higher than the first, and the water level was also rising.
So much so that at a glance, some people were hanging on trees, looking around in confusion, some were floating in the turbid water holding onto driftwood, and some people died in this devastating disaster.
Dead bodies were everywhere, body parts floating everywhere.
The girl who was pulled away by her boyfriend managed to survive by grabbing onto the mangroves planted by the Garden Restaurant to protect against typhoons and tsunamis.
After the second impact, the restaurant building began to tilt slightly. Fortunately, the waves that continued to come were much smaller than before, and the crisis seemed to be slowly dissipating.
But the big orange cat's reaction was still abnormal. It struggled to twist its body from Su Wanxing's arms and it took a long time to jump down. Because Su Wanxing was too nervous during the escape, he held the big orange cat too tightly.
It called out in a low voice, quietly reminding Su Wanxing, and then ran away at full speed. Su Wanxing followed immediately without having time to think.
The big orange boat is parked in the corner, with only a sightseeing balcony around it. The beautiful handrails are indeed eye-catching.
People often focus their attention on the person who is leading the team. Moreover, they just followed Su Wanxing's steps, so they were not swallowed by the huge waves or burned by the elevator.
At this time, several timid and fearful people kept following Su Wanxing.
Su Wanxing looked around with confusion, and his eyes finally fell on the wall that the cat was leaning against.
This is a load-bearing wall.
Daju's sensing ability is obvious to all. Could this behavior be...
The cell phone sounded an early warning again!
"Earthquake warning: Magnitude 9.9, this tremor is strong, run! Run! Run quickly!"
For the first time, Su Wanxing felt that the AI intelligent voice had some human touch, but a 9.9-magnitude earthquake probably wasn't something that he could escape just because he wanted to.
If you don't run, you will die!
