Chapter 441: Sandstorm Season
The next day, Cheonan City cooled down somewhat.
It's sandstorm season again, and last night an overwhelming sandstorm hit half the planet. The sky beyond the environmental protection canopy was already covered with yellow dust and sand.
When I looked up, I saw that the dust and sand of different shades hit the light curtain like waves, forming rows of wavy lines, constantly twisting and moving in the wind.
When the dust and sand finally crossed the arc of the light curtain, it was blown into the distance. It looked like a yellow blanket floating above half of the dome.
The star's light had been completely obscured, with only the occasional faint speck of light in a less dense area of sand. The temperature in the city has dropped dramatically, and the air is a little muddy. Even though the announcement says that the environmental protection system has been upgraded to level 3, the urban space continues to be eroded by smog. Not only is it hard to breathe, but visibility is also drastically reduced.
At this time, the underground world, which has the worst defense of the environmental protection system and is also the channel for the discharge of sewage and exhaust gas from the major space cities, becomes unbearable. Not only is the air terrible, but there are all sorts of pungent smells coming up from the ground. Huge numbers of people living underground would flood to the surface and take refuge in abandoned corners of the city.
Naturally, order became chaotic as a result. Although the streets are constantly patrolled by police cars, there are still frequent cases of robbery, murder, rape and other crimes.
In normal times, not many people would take this seriously. After living in this city for so many years, everyone is used to the storm season. Know that the same scene will play out at this time of year every year. Nothing surprising.
Those rich people who live in the highest upper world of Space City can't feel this. And the common people living on the ground don't have so much time to complain. Everyone has to go to work when they should go to work, they still have to work when they should work, and if they don't have a job, they have to hurry up and find a job. Otherwise, you might go hungry for the next meal.
You know, even in this day and age, there is not much food to eat.
On the earth where human beings originated, there is air, sunlight, soil and temperature suitable for the growth of all things, and people can live and breathe freely under the unprotected sky. But on these harsh migratory planets, humans rely on this fishbowl-like environmental system. Not to mention food, even clean water, air and sunlight are luxuries.
And food is also cultivated under the protection of the environmental system, and every catty means the consumption of energy and resources corresponding to it.
And these energy resources, not every immigrant planet can be self-sufficient.
Although Aracea has two seasons of dust storms every year, there is no shortage of water resources. If it is in those immigrant planets where water resources are scarce, it is not impossible that the price of a grain is ten times higher than that of Aracea.
As a result, the Cabinet of the Republic will devote a lot of energy to the transportation and rationing of resources and energy on the major immigrant planets. Through the interstellar cargo network that has been built up over the years, this fragile chain is carefully maintained.
Once this chain breaks, it is a huge disaster.
Before today, people were used to it all. Even if the world is depressed and the situation is getting worse, everyone is like a leaf in a calm river, although they go with the flow, they don't feel any danger.
But with the news of the bankruptcy and collapse of Hongkun Group broadcast yesterday, people suddenly found that a huge fault has appeared in this calm river. Across the horizon is an endless abyss!
The calm and gentle current of the water becomes turbulent here, and the rough waves get bigger and bigger. You can hear the loud roar of the waterfall formed when the river plunges into the abyss.
Therefore, although the subway is still crowded today, people are still hurrying on the streets. But only those who were in the period knew that the carriage was much quieter than before. Everyone's steps are much heavier than ever. The dust storm outside the canopy, the displaced people who came out of the ground, were like a prophecy of disaster.
It's worrying.
And in such a situation, the most eye-catching thing is a sudden war.
"I'm sorry, no comment!"
"I don't think the president has the authority to intervene in the investigation, and there is something problematic with the independent prosecutor he approved the appointment......"
"The National Assembly has sent separate documents to the Presidential Office and the Capital Public Prosecutor's Office to inquire about this. ”
Some lawmakers suggested that the case should be led by Congress. ”
"I've heard that there will be more exciting content in the future...... I'm looking forward to it. This is long overdue!"
On the TV news, there are overwhelming images of Han Qi's arrest and follow-up reports brought by major media outlets. One by one, relevant and unrelated officials, lawyers, social commentators, and Tianxing experts have expressed their opinions on this matter.
Some people are cautious in their words, while others are scolding.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all kinds of sounds quickly converged into a storm.
......
......
Courage Matrix Club, Aracea Branch.
The atmosphere was quiet and dreary, and the staff in the office area were either walking around or engrossed in the work at hand in front of the light brain. In the training room of the team area, the teleportation pods are running quietly with red lights. The players are training.
Sun Hu knocked on the door and walked into Guo Liangde's office.
"How is it?" Guo Liangde, who was at his desk making his next training plan, raised his head and asked.
Sun Hu said: "It's still the same as yesterday, with nothing to do." All three of them fought in the Templar's Battle Zone, training their combat skills. ”
The corners of Guo Liangde's mouth hooked a sneer, leaned on the back of the chair, threw the electronic pen in his hand on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "They like to fight, just let them play by themselves, I see how long they can last." ”
"This Xue Tian, I heard that he has a deep background......" Sun Hu said with some hesitation.
"Her father is the president of Xingang Xue's Group," Guo Liangde said lightly, "There is a lot of money, it seems that the company is also involved in Tianxing, but it is not very famous." It seems to have something to do with the headquarters......"
"Then will she ......" Sun Hu said with some concern.
"Will it be anything? go to the headquarters and sue me?" Guo Liangde smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry." They have no idea who they are offending against. ”
As he spoke, he put down his cup and said, "Besides, they won't have long of this kind of life." I was left to dry like this every day, and I had to train according to the contract, and I didn't have to beg for mercy for a week. These stunned young people are just hot brains, and they don't know how thick the sky is. When they understand the rules of the circle, they know how stupid they are to go against the club. ”
Sun Hu nodded.
"By the way," Guo Liangde picked up the pen and asked, "That Xia Bei, didn't you come today?"
"After being removed from the position of full-time assistant, he is now an idler, and the logistics side doesn't know how to arrange for him," Sun Hu said, "I heard that Xu Mu from the Human Resources Department agreed that he could not come for the time being." ”
"Xu Mu......" Guo Liangde frowned.
He heard that Xia Bei was able to enter the club and serve as Meng Pan's full-time assistant because of this Xu Mu. And this time, in addition to Xia Bei's affairs, she intervened in the recruitment of full-time assistants that originally belonged to the logistics scope, and this woman was very dissatisfied with herself.
Guo Liangde didn't want to offend a branch executive like Xu Mu as soon as he came, but ......
Thinking of last night's news, Guo Liangde waved his hand to let Sun Hu leave, and took out the phone himself.
......
......
"Oh, that's great, Coach Guo, our Xiao family has written down this situation...... Have time to make an appointment for tea...... Okay, in Aracea, if there is anything, just come to me...... Good, good ......."
In the spacious and bright office, Xiao Yue was talking to Guo Liangde while staring at the holographic light curtain in front of him.
When the phone was put down, his somewhat cold face became a little better. Restarting the TV and watching the news on the TV, his eyes slowly narrowed.
He had already watched last night's "Nantianmen Lens" program. That Fengchen who came out of nowhere was already the hottest topic in the Galactic Skywalk Realm. As soon as the show ended, the entire Galactic Republic exploded. Not only are ordinary people talking about him, but the six major families have spared no effort to inquire about this person's true identity and want to recruit him.
Originally, this matter was far less urgent and urgent than it is now.
In the first two episodes of the show, although Fengchen showed a certain value, he was just a newcomer after all. In terms of value in reality, it is far inferior to a professional superstar.
However, after watching last night's show, the six families realized that they had made a serious mistake.
No one expected that Feng Shangxue would be promoted to the Dao realm!
With such a father, the value of Fengchen has directly increased a hundred times!
The six major families immediately urgently ordered that as long as they could get this Fengchen, they could do whatever it takes.
Xiao Yue naturally received the order. He even heard that if he could find Fengchen and be targeted by other families, the Xiao family would be ready to turn around and start a war!
This Fengchen is so important.
However, what Xiao Yue watched at this moment was the part where Han Qi was arrested at the end of the show.
No one expected that President Wei Ruoyuan would launch a counterattack against the six major families in such a program in this way. It was simply a stab in the heart of the Han family.
As far as Xiao Yue knew, as soon as the show ended, the six major families urgently held a conference call.
What was said at the meeting was naturally not something that people of his level could know. But what he knew was that the head of the Han family asked the old man about Xia Bei in the meeting.
The Han family recognized Xia Bei!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but snort coldly.
This evil obstacle is the same as his dead ghost parents, and it seems that he is born with the Xiao family. The president took the Han family under the knife, and this kid who couldn't beat him with eight poles actually played a key role in it!
When Xiao Yuanwang, the head of the family, called last night, he heard him say that the old man was so angry that he went to bed early.
Before going upstairs, I said a word.
"Move fast!"
