Chapter 789: Volcanic Eruption. Devastation
The outer city is under the charge of Captain Zou He. He is not in this shelter, so Mou Ci is temporarily in charge here.
The entire outer city has a population of 150,000 people. Each underground shelter has a capacity of 60,000 people, and the three shelters can be interconnected.
In other words, most of the underground space in the outer city of Shengtang is empty, but only a few leaders know about the interconnecting passages.
This time it was an early evacuation, with 60,000 people entering the underground shelter in the Government Affairs Hall and the underground shelter in the Mission Hall respectively.
These two places are far from the entrances and exits, and are relatively safe, and they accommodate people with good credit scores.
The shelter where Chu An was located had 30,000 civilians and 200 soldiers at various checkpoints. With them, the shelter was actually safer from the inside.
Mou Ci hung up the phone, and Gu Ye and the fruits were basically distributed. There were about a hundred soldiers resting here. The others and the security guards went into the hall to patrol, guard the door, watch over the supplies, and help the staff maintain stability.
"Where is Xiao An?" Mou Ci asked.
"Still in the toilet."
"restroom?"
"Ah, it's outside the toilet. There are fewer people there and it's quiet." Guozi explained.
After listening to this, Mou Ci looked at Gu Ye gratefully. These things should belong to Chu An. "Thank Xiao An for me."
Gu Ye smiled lightly, "Well, I'll help you convey it."
"Why do they have food and we don't?" someone suddenly asked.
Mou Ci and Guozi were both in a dilemma to answer directly. Gu Ye said coldly, "Then why don't you go out and guard the checkpoint?"
The man who was asking the question retracted his neck and turned his face away. He came out in such a hurry that he only brought a few steamed buns.
"The government won't watch us starve, why are you in such a hurry?" someone nearby whispered, "Will it starve you to death?"
Gu Ye was unhappy with them. There were seven or eight men gathered together. Not only were their clothes and pants extremely dirty, their faces were also dirty. They looked especially like the homeless people they saw when they first entered the outer city of Sheng Tang.
Although the person who asked the question was retorted by Gu Ye, Mou Ci took the matter to heart. He could not let his soldiers patrol with empty stomachs, nor could he let the people find fault with him.
"Guozi, get everyone together... to go to the toilet."
"Ah? Ah, okay."
Guozi called everyone together and the soldiers acted very quickly.
The result was that Gu Ye and Guozi went out and brought back a team of a hundred people, completely occupying the restroom near the exit.
Mou Ci looked around at this place, it was really nice. There was a corner next to the toilet, and there was an open space of about 100 square meters, very private.
He asked the soldiers to rest inside, so that no matter what they did in the future, they would not have to expose themselves to other people's eyes, but... just don't think that there is a toilet next to them.
"What are you looking at?" After arranging the soldiers, Mou Ci returned to Chu An and asked.
Chu An showed him the screen on his phone and controlled the little spider to change its angle. Although it could hide in corners, it could not escape the influence of the volcanic ash and had begun to strike, with the screen flickering continuously.
The world at this moment seems like a new doomsday picture.
In the gray sky, volcanic ash fell silently like endless snowflakes. Thick volcanic ash piled up on the buildings on both sides of the street, revealing only a few mottled traces, and the lower ones were completely buried.
The vitality of the entire city seemed to be sucked away by the volcanic ash, leaving only a withered body.
Mou Ci took a deep breath and seemed to smell a strong smell of sulfur through the picture.
"I'm afraid it won't dissipate for a while." Chu An didn't expect the impact of the outer city to be so great.
Mou Ci didn't say anything. He picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the local government official to count the food and water. He wanted to know an exact number.
After a while, a staff member came to ask Mou Ci to come over. He guessed that the loss estimate result was out, so he didn't dare to delay and asked Dawei to follow the person.
You don't need to listen to know that the result is not good. Well, let's just make the best of it.
She and Gu Ye had been busy all day, and the two of them dozed off with their backs leaning against each other, and fell asleep before they knew it.
After entering the space, Chu An immediately went to count the protective suits and breathing masks. There were 220 sets of various protective suits and 330 gas masks. Some were previously stockpiled, and some were collected later, and the quality was good.
Wang Ce said that he could try to make the adsorbent carbon and anti-gas carbon used in gas masks, which can be found in coal, wood and fruit shell space.
After thinking about it, Grandma Xia proposed an enzyme that could "eat" poison as an attempt to break through this technology, but she didn't know if she would succeed.
When Chu An opened his eyes again, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Mou Ci and Dawei had already returned, and some changes had occurred around him.
In front of them were more than a dozen tables, put together to form a simple workbench, on which were placed computers, printers and various monitoring instruments.
There are two large screens outside the workbench, which can block 70% of the view but do not block the exit. There are armed soldiers on guard.
Guozi came out from the corner, carrying a large pot of hot water. Seeing Chu An woke up, he asked her if she was thirsty.
The back is not only a lounge but also a kitchen, and the faint smell of instant noodles can be smelled from it.
Chu An was a little surprised. Could it be that the person in charge here was unable to free up a studio?
Gu Ye had woken up a long time ago. Seeing her surprise, he told her that it was Mou Ci who wanted to be here. He had the same doubt just now.
"I'm not thirsty." After replying to the fruit, Chu An went to find Mou Ci to ask about the estimated damages.
Mou Ci said the data was very bad, and the preliminary estimate was that the volcanic ash would dissipate in 6-8 months. Given the current situation in Shengtang Inner City, it was not possible to provide food, drink and daily life for 150,000 people. The grain reserves in the Outer City could only last for one month.
Mou Ci rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
"Does that mean... we need to abandon the city and move away?" Chu An asked.
