Chapter 18 The Great Earthquake in Africa
The desert under the clouds, the wind and the sand.
Throughout the space, huge shadows descended and uneasy, the light was obscured by the clouds, and the space began to arch and deform, as if it was crushed into pieces.
Lightning and thunder, an apocalyptic sight.
If this rage had happened in a bustling big city, the disaster would have become a nightmare for everyone.
Chen Peng set the intersection of space in the uninhabited Sahara Desert, saving many lives.
The surrounding lightning and thunder could not affect Chen Peng's incarnation.
The anomaly lasted for four consecutive hours, and the cloud cover spread over a radius of 1,000 kilometers.
The high-level officials of the countries observed by satellite were full of worry when they saw the scene of the Sahara Desert.
The sudden appearance of the stone mountain from the beginning, and the more serious problems that arose not long after, this unknown situation is the most disturbing. Because no one knows if there will be a more serious problem in the next moment.
The Nile, the most important river in Egypt in Africa, is not one of them, and eighty percent of the country's population depends on the Nile River for their survival.
The anomaly in the central Sahara has affected the normalcy of the Nile.
Somewhere in the Nile, a fissure appears, quickly engulfing the river, and the upstream river has no time to compensate for being swallowed by the fissure.
The ground crack appeared bigger and bigger, the river section was cut off by the waist, and the ground crack with a width of dozens of meters turned into a black hole, devouring everything.
The boats passing through this section of the river did not have time to react, and the random river water fell into the boundless black hole together.
Earthquakes began to occur around the Sahara Desert, shaking from level 1 to level 7 or more. Cairo, the capital of Egypt, has been the most affected area.
Compared to the countries surrounding the Sahara Desert, only Cairo is a more prosperous city with the most modern buildings.
In the face of natural disasters such as earthquakes, high-rise buildings have become fatal injuries, countless high-rise buildings have fallen in the earthquake, and people are scared to take shelter.
The earthquake was apparently not so simple, and began to spread from the African continent and across the Mediterranean, causing huge waves.
The Mediterranean Sea is a well-developed shipping country, with more than 5,000 ships of different tonnages and types coming and going every day.
The energy carried by the earthquake caused huge waves of more than ten meters, and luxury yachts, oil carriers, container ships, at this moment, in the face of natural disasters, became victims.
Italy, Greece, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, more than a dozen countries were affected to varying degrees.
The Suez Canal, a sea-level waterway that runs through the Suez Isthmus in Egypt, connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, and provides the closest route from Europe to nearby lands in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. It is one of the most frequently used routes in the world, and it is also the border between Asia and Africa, and is the main passage between Asia, Africa and Europe.
The energy of the earthquake came and directly destroyed the Suez Canal, and the canal with a depth of more than 20 meters rose straight up, and the ships preparing to pass through the canal touched the bottom and could not move in place.
In a certain section of the Italian railway, the rails were torn, and the train running on it suddenly lost the restraint of the rails, and the speed did not come and brake, and the train with a speed of 120 hours became a wild horse, and dozens of carriages derailed under the huge inertia, and more than ninety percent of the thousands of passengers in the carriages died instantly.
Saudi Arabia took a certain highway, more than 20 supercars were moving forward at great speed, the earthquake came suddenly, cracks appeared on the highway, and a group of supercars did not come and braked, and drove into the ground crack together. Soon more than twenty fireballs rose from the crack.
Burj Khalifa, the most popular tourist attraction.
The seismic energy passed through Saudi Arabia, and with little energy left, passengers in the Burj Khalifa felt the ground shake, but the excellent seismic design withstood the aftermath of the earthquake.
Even so, the aftershocks scare laid-back, stylish travelers.
When the United States came to the Monnier military base in Africa, the commander originally wanted to send a new plane to the rescue, but before the plane could take off again, the earthquake came.
The entire base was like a biscuit, slapped into pieces by the palm of the hand, and at this moment, no matter how strong the building, became construction waste in the face of the disaster.
A large number of fighter jets parked at the base have become useless waste.
The underground building of the base collapsed directly, and thousands of US military logistics were buried alive under the base.
Throughout northern Africa, roads have been damaged to varying degrees, and road and rail transport systems have ceased to function.
After the energy of the spatial convergence was transmitted to 2,000 kilometers, it finally disappeared completely, and the affected neighboring countries directly regressed from the modern society for several decades.
The closer the country is to the Sahara Desert, the greater the disaster, and Egypt, as the most developed country in Africa, has a short period of earthquake energy passing through the entire country. The ground seemed to be ploughed to one side.
More than ninety percent of the buildings on the ground collapsed, and the Sphinx, Egypt's most famous pyramid, collapsed in an earthquake.
These are not fatal to Egypt, the most fatal thing is that the water source in the Nile, the mother river of Egypt, runs out in a short time.
Egypt, which survived on the Nile, was almost wiped out without an enemy.
Egypt, which has lost the Nile, has basically no room for survival in the future, and it is impossible to recover to the pre-earthquake level.
Without water, the population is lost, and it will soon become a barren land.
Chen Peng was at a high altitude, and the Sahara Desert he saw was squeezed by another space, and the result was that the central Sahara region fell by five meters in a radius of 500 kilometers.
This situation is like being in a tank of calm water, and if you press down on the palm of your hand, the place where the palm is pressed will fall, and the surrounding area will cause waves.
The area around the Sahara Desert spreads out like a wave, and the energy turns the land into a wave.
Clouds created out of thin air, obscuring the seismic center of satellite observation.
Several major satellites have been scouting the area, and the effects of the earthquake have scared everyone.
Somewhere in China, Wang Wei, as the director of aerospace, looked at Egypt observed by the satellite, and his scalp tingled.
The original location of the Nile, the water source disappeared, leaving a dry river channel. And that's not all, Egypt's capital, Cairo, was once a bustling capital, but it was in ruins after the earthquake.
I don't know how many people are buried underground, even if there is danger in space, Wang Wei will not open his eyes, and he feels scared for the first time.
Fortunately, this kind of thing does not happen in China, and if this kind of problem really occurs, no one can resist natural disasters of this magnitude.
"Director, the supercomputer simulates the earthquake. ”
Wang Wei: "Let it out." ”
On the large screen, an earthquake simulation soon appeared, and the seismic waves coming from the middle of the Sahara Desert ploughed the surrounding area like waves.
Wang Wei took a deep breath and suppressed his fear: "Report the situation to the top management, and the satellites will keep monitoring the area." ”
The United States, Russia, and the European Union have reacted differently. At the same time, the monitoring of the area has been increased.
It is not the impact of the earthquake that worries countries most, and although some countries have suffered heavy losses, they can rebuild after the earthquake.
The central Sahara Desert, obscured by clouds, has become a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the top leaders of various countries. No one knows what more serious problems will arise here in the next moment.
In addition to the satellites in space that can observe the Sahara Desert, there is only one result for sending a vehicle to investigate, which is to be crushed into pieces by the space of the two worlds.
At present, the earth's space is wrestling with another dimension, and if something appears in it, it can only become garbage.
The 500-kilometer radius of the central Sahara Desert has become a forbidden space.
Chen Peng's incarnation had been staying above the stone mountain, and at this time, the spatial fluctuations were becoming more and more obvious, and the avatar had already vaguely seen the scene of another space.
Soon the space will be more integrated, and when the time comes, the two realms will communicate, and the creatures on both sides will be able to pass through it.
The avatar is high in the sky, through the super vision, Chen Peng can see the tragic situation of the surrounding countries, and the death toll of this earthquake may exceed one million.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. Chen Peng's mood is very complicated.
Chen Peng didn't expect to cause such a powerful earthquake, but this is something he had to do.
It would be better to have spatial fusion points in the Sahara Desert than to have fusion points everywhere on the planet. Otherwise, there may be dozens, hundreds, and space passages at that time.
Every channel will appear in the current situation, and the number of dead humans will not be millions.
Regarding the suffering of neighboring countries, Chen Peng can only mourn in silence.
The avatar appeared in the capital of Egypt, and the avatar of the aura was transformed from virtual to real. An entity, Chen Peng, appeared.
The reason why Chen Peng came here is very simple, saving people, although he can't save everyone, but he can save one counts as one.
There was a cry all around, Chen Peng didn't care about the exposure of the incarnation, he didn't really care.
Use your superpowers to help people who are still alive buried under buildings. Originally, it took machinery, excavators, and cranes to do the work, but the incarnation can do it simply.
Compared with the unfamiliar language around him, Chen Peng soon heard the familiar Chinese cry for help.
Chen Peng's figure disappeared, not bothering to pay attention to the reaction of the Egyptians around him.
The Chinese Embassy, where the building is built to a high standard and can withstand a 12-magnitude earthquake. Of course, the work was not in vain, and the embassy did not lose much in this earthquake.
Bai Xinqiao drove to a nearby supermarket to buy daily necessities, and the earthquake suddenly struck, and the collapsed building was buried under the building, lucky and unlucky.
Luckily for the building, although she was buried underneath and was not harmed, unfortunately she was not able to leave the ruins. Unless you are using large machinery outside.
Bai Xinqiao has lived in Egypt for a year and knows that Egypt is a country where industry is very backward compared to China. She was buried here, and there was only one result, waiting to die.
If it is buried under a building in China, with the efficient speed of the relevant departments, there is still a chance to be rescued. But Egypt is a country. Bai Xinqiao was already desperate in his heart.
In fact, what Bai Xinqiao didn't know was that the Egyptian country was basically in ruins, not to mention that he, a foreigner, was a high-level Egyptian state, and those who were not killed were in despair.
Egypt has been largely cut off from communications, with the exception of a few satellite phones.
But a small number of satellite phones will not solve the problem.
In the space of 0.5 cubic meters, Bai Xinqiao cried in despair for a while, patting the surrounding walls and calling for help. Even if you know that there is little hope, you don't want to give up.
It's not far from the Chinese embassy, and if the embassy sends someone out to look for it, there may be a chance to save your life.
The light suddenly turned on, and Bai Xinqiao was still screaming in despair stuck in his throat, and his eyes were a little dazed looking at the person who appeared.
Bai Xinqiao didn't have a brain, his body floated uncontrollably, his eyes saw a person in the air, after waving his hand, the next moment Bai Xinqiao's body flew in the air, and he saw that person's vague appearance, and a "bang" fell in front of the Chinese Embassy.
When Bai Xinqiao came back to his senses, he saw his colleagues in the embassy looking at him with a blank face.
Zhang Wufeng followed his colleagues from the embassy out, as a Chinese personnel in Egypt, this kind of disaster occurred, and he needed to give corresponding help to his compatriots. That person was the colleague he was looking for.
Everyone doesn't know why this situation is, Bai Xinqiao has not recovered from the despair just now, and Zhang Wufeng and the others were also unable to turn around when they were flown back by Bai Xinqiao in the air.
The scene was silent for a while.
