Chapter 64 Chaos(1/2)
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
Several meteorites were successively panicked, causing the people in Ruhr Town to panic.
Although the town is not big, the occupancy rate is quite high. Many people know that there will be the most spectacular meteor shower in recent years tonight. Even if the notice later stated that the meteor shower turned into a meteor storm, it will not stop the public's enthusiasm for star viewing.
There are no tall buildings and neon lights in Ruhr town. It was originally a good place to watch starlight at night. This time, even though they are not the best starlight spot, many people still plan to go to someone's terrace to chat at night.
And these meteorites are like a warning bell, ringing heavily in everyone's heart.
The peaceful town suddenly became chaotic.
Some people put down their busy schedules and turned around and went home immediately, some were anxious to call their relatives, and some rushed into the nearest cafe or restaurant and asked to be transferred to the news channel.
The latest news about meteorites is being broadcast on the TV screen. The news has been broadcast for a while.
In addition to the few meteorites that just approached the town of Ruhr, in the previous hour, falling meteorites appeared in the central and southern regions.
The meteorites vary in size, some of which are about the same as stones. They fell on the parasols in a cafe, and directly destroyed the surrounding umbrellas and tables and chairs.
Some are the same size as fists. When they fall, they hit a high-rise building, knocking out the wall through a big hole, and directly blowing up the entire office...
There is also a meteorite with a diameter of about half a meter - the largest of all meteorites this time. It fell into the forest between the central and northern parts, and the burning flames and exploded debris destroyed the entire forest.
Fortunately, it is in the no-man's land, and no casualties are available for the time being.
...
So far, the meteorite that caused the most casualties has landed in L City.
A meteorite with a diameter of about 30 centimeters hit the viaduct, blowing up a number of cars and the viaduct on the spot, causing a large-scale landslide of that section of the bridge. The collapsed cement stones pressed the cars under the bridge, causing heavy casualties...
The camera then played the scene of the viaduct that was shot down from the helicopter. A section of the bridge deck that was hit was completely destroyed. There was a huge black and red hole in the middle, and burning black smoke was still emitted. The car behind was emergency braked, causing a rear-end collision of more than a dozen cars.
But in this accident, rear-end collision was already considered lucky. No one survived without exception...
The entire M country area suffered a total of more than a dozen meteorites in this hour, most of which were concentrated in the central and western regions.
Overall, there are not many meteorites falling, and most cities and towns in the central region are safe and sound, because seven or eight meteorites have landed in the unmanned land.
Although the meteorite has temporarily stopped falling, the relevant departments have urgently called on people to take refuge, because according to monitoring and experts' predictions, the meteor storm at 9 pm is likely to turn into a meteorite rain. It is also recommended that all large-scale transportation such as airline ships and buses be suspended, and passengers choose to take refuge on site.
Someone was so angry that he smashed the remote control in the apartment.
"A moment of meteor shower, a moment of meteor burst, and a moment of meteor rain! Which of the damn expert is correct!"
"Stop scolding! My dear, come and pack up your things quickly. The residents of this building must take refuge in the nearby subway station!"
...
Someone called his children.
"Baby, stay at school and don't move. Mom will drive over to pick you up immediately!"
"It's okay, the teacher said the school has a basement, and now we are organizing everyone to take refuge!"
"Okay, baby, come here first, wait until your mother arrives and call you! Let's go to your grandpa's house, there is a basement under his villa!"
...
Information flows rapidly in big cities, and for a moment, everyone was packing their things to take refuge - especially those who had witnessed the fall of meteorites at close range.
Some people think a lot and rushed into the supermarket to buy water quickly.
Those who were shopping in the supermarket who didn't know the news were staring at the person who was pushing the cart and shopping, looking confused.
I don’t know if fear will affect it. After seeing the second person and the third person rushed in and swept the goods in a panic, those unknown customers also joined the shopping ranks.
Traffic accidents occurred in cars on the street, some roads were severely blocked, and there were constant shouts and horns. Some guests in taxis saw that the car was still moving, so they chose to get off and take the subway.
There are more people in the subway station. Some people who were originally lonely simply stayed in the subway station and stopped leaving. They even felt that they could occupy a more comfortable position when they came early.
The total opposite of the people who took refuge in a hurry were firefighters, police and medical staff. The meteorites brought fires and casualties. All their vacations were cancelled and all returned to work.
The medical staff in the hospital helped transfer patients, especially those living in high-rise buildings, all of which were transferred to the basement and underground garage...
...
Because the town is small, most of the people in the town know each other. After gathering in the cafe and restaurant, they all started to discuss.
Most people were very nervous and needed advice or some comfort from others. But when the meteorite came suddenly, everyone was not prepared. After witnessing the tragic situation in the meteorite area just now, they felt scared and panicked from the bottom of their hearts.
People with six gods and no masters naturally have people with quick and independent reaction ability.
The man said there was an underground air raid shelter near the town, which could accommodate everyone in the town. He suggested that everyone go home quickly to pack their things and go to the air raid shelter for the time being.
Some people nodded in agreement, thinking that safety is paramount, after all, even the news calls on everyone to take refuge urgently.
But some people don’t want to go there. They don’t know how many years have passed since the air raid shelter is empty, and there is nothing inside. It’s definitely uncomfortable to squeeze together so many people. It’s better to stay at home.
Most of the houses in the town have basements, so it is safe and convenient to pack up and stay in your own basement.
In short, after the man proposed to go to the air-raid shelter, everyone took action. Someone talked to his family who didn't know about it, and some remembered to go to the supermarket to stock up on some water...
For a moment, the town was in chaos.
The truck slowly stopped in the driveway in front of the villa courtyard. You Xi saw You Qi open the villa gate and run out hurriedly. She obviously paused when she approached the truck, and her expression became a little shocked.
You Xi was hugged by You Qi as soon as she got off the car. The other party looked at her up and down, as if checking whether she was injured.
"I'm fine-" A mother subconsciously was about to rush out, but was swallowed back by You Xi, "Sister, why didn't you go to the basement?"
"You two haven't come back, can I hide there with confidence?" You Qi said, looking at the top of the rear of the truck compartment again, "The second time you happened to hit those closer meteorites when you came back?"
Tang Yatong jumped out of the car and closed the car door: "How do you know?"
You Qi pointed to the rear of the truck. The three of them looked together and saw a small part of the top of the rear of the car, as if a hole was dug out by some sharp weapon.
The missing part was surrounded by a circle of burnt black, probably being wiped by the meteorite fragment that just fell. Fortunately, the fragment was very small, and the explosion caused by the ground was almost the same as a grenade, so the rear of the truck was preserved.
The evidence was right in front of you, and You Xi couldn't even lie and said that she didn't touch the meteorite to make You Qi feel at ease.
She could only change the subject: "Let's go in first!"
Tang Yatong glanced at the truck and asked You Xi: "Don't move things? Some of them may be burned out, but most of them should be fine."
Youxi:...
Things have already entered the Star House warehouse, where can I move things in the carriage...
You Qi saw it clearly and patted Tang Yatong on the shoulder hard: "Let's talk about things, safety is more important than supplies, let's go to the basement first."
Tang Yatong:...
You Xi suggested that it would be best for the three of them to check the villa again before going to the basement, locking doors and windows, etc. After all, the villa is not necessarily so unlucky that it was hit by a meteorite, and they cannot be left alone.
Tang Yatong nodded with a serious expression and ran upstairs without saying a word.
You Qi looked at her sister in surprise. With Tang Yatong's temperament, she actually obeyed You Xiyan's plan?
You Xi pretended not to see You Qi's eyes, quickly went to a door connected to the garage at the back of the villa kitchen, and put the 90% new SUV into the Star House transportation space, just in case if the face was too dark, the meteorite just hit the garage.
After the SUV entered the vehicle space, visually, the two cars overlapped in the same space, which was particularly magical.
Afterwards, she locked the garage and the villa and the door. When she returned to the living room again, Tang Yatong happened to run down from the upper floor.
"You guys come and see!" The small TV in the restaurant was on, and You Qi was standing there. "A large meteorite hit the elevated road in L City, just not far from our apartment..."
On the screen, there are scenes of meteorite disasters in various parts of M country, including reporters who came to the scene to shoot and interview, and there are also scenes of helicopters shooting down, from cities to suburbs.
During this period, there were also news scenes about the meteorite attack on the L City viaduct and heavy casualties. Some experts also expressed their solemn expression that at 9:00 pm, the meteor shower will turn into a meteorite rain. It is recommended that people across the country take shelter nearby.
The three of them looked at the familiar roads and buildings and didn't say anything for a while. Just yesterday, they were still nearby, but now they have become the scene of the disaster...
"This news station has just announced that it will broadcast all meteorite-related disasters, rescues, meteorite arrival time, etc.." You Qi changed several other stations, but the picture has not changed. "Other TV stations are broadcasting this station."
Tang Yatong frowned: "It's this time, there are so many people outside, and helicopters dare to go to the sky..."
"Because there are no meteorites in most areas at present. Look at the interviews in these cities, some citizens even carnival on the road, saying that the doomsday is coming and there is no need to go to work anymore. They are going to have a party to celebrate..."
You Qi shook her head when she saw it, "It's just that she's so confused after being peaceful for too long. If the doomsday really comes, I'm afraid it's too late to cry..."
Tang Yatong sighed, turned around and went to the room to get her and You Qi's duffel bags, and then carried You Xi's duffel bags on the floor: "Let's go, take these things down first. I can see if I can get up later to move the supplies from the truck into the villa, and how much can I move."
The three of them were about to walk towards the backyard when the door ring suddenly came from the front door of the villa.
Tang Yatong frowned. At this time, who would still be visiting outside casually?
She took out the top hand from her travel bag and snatched it, then threw several bags to You Xi, walked to the villa gate and asked coldly, "Who?" She said in Mandarin.
"Hey, it's great that someone is at home. We are from the villa next to us. I just saw you driving back and want to ask about your situation outside." The one who spoke was a young female voice.
Tang Yatong waved at You Qi and You Xi, signaling them to hide from each other, and then opened the insurance for grabbing, and hid the hand he held the snatch at the door. Then he opened the door, but it was only half opened.
There was a woman in her thirties standing outside the door. In the courtyard not far behind her, two tall men in the country stood. When Tang Yatong opened the door, she looked at her.
"Hey, thank you for opening the door. I'm Shanni. Have you just returned from the town? How is the situation in the town now?"
"I don't know, the meteorite hasn't come down when we left the town. If you want to know the situation, you can turn on the TV to watch the news."
"Okay, thank you. I'm so sorry, we came here for vacation and were not familiar with the neighborhood. We originally planned to drive to the town to buy food for partying in the evening, but in the current situation, isn't it suitable to go to the town?"
"You can make a decision after reading the news. Sorry, we still have something to do and can't give you too much advice."
She answered very cautiously and did not want to cause any trouble in the future. Although Tang Yatong was very enthusiastic, she was much better than Yuqi in terms of crisis awareness because of her extensive communication and various people knew her.
