1604 The archipelago sank
In the next second, Faeron's eyes glared angrily in the direction of the Mariana Islands, and a vast invisible force suddenly swept from the sea across the island bases of all the nearby islands.
"Hum—"
A dull vibration similar to infrasound swept by, and the Chosen One team on Saipan felt it immediately.
"What kind of shaking was that?"
"I don't know, vice!" The sharp-beaked monkey shook his head blankly.
The vice-captain looked at the other team members again, and the rest shook their heads one after another, except for their glasses and frowned: "I suddenly have a very bad premonition!" ”
"What did you have a hunch?"
"I don't know, anyway, it doesn't feel good......"
"So what do you think we're going to do next?" The vice-captain asked.
The glasses pinched his chin and was silent for a few seconds, and said, "My bad feeling may be related to the super whirlpool!" ”
When the deputy captain heard this, he turned his head and said to the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks: "You jump up again and see how the whirlpool is." ”
"Okay, vice!" As a result, he jumped into the air and looked at it, and was suddenly dumbfounded, forgetting to land steadily, and fell directly when he came down, if it weren't for the strength of his body more than ten times that of ordinary people, I am afraid that he would have fallen into serious injuries.
Seeing this, the vice captain raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with the whirlpool?" ”
"Vortex, Vortex......"
"What the hell is going on?"
"The whirlpool, the whirlpool, no, it's gone!"
"Gone? What do you mean, has the super tsunami already begun? ”
"No, no, the whirlpool is gone, and now the sea on the east side of the island is calm!" The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said with a look of alarm.
"This can't be?!" Before the deputy captain could react, the police leader next to him had already screamed, after all, after the giant whirlpool was formed, there were still a few policemen under him who did not believe in evil and drove the boat to confirm. As a result, they were all gone and fed to the fish.
It was also at this time that the keen Chosen One team and others were shocked to find that the ground under their feet was sinking.
"What's going on?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
"It shouldn't be an earthquake. It's the ground sinking! ”
"No......" glasses denied the companion's claim, "it should be that the whole island is sinking." ”
"Saipan is sinking? How is this possible? The police chief began to shout again. But at this time, the shaking of the ground is getting bigger and bigger.
"Oh no, it's true that the island is sinking, and it's getting faster and faster, we need to get out of this island quickly!" The vice-captain yelled.
At the same time, Lieutenant General Welbeck and his adjutant Millin, who were far away on Guam, also discovered the problem.
"What's going on? Why is the building shaking? Welbeck, who was sitting in the boss's chair, had to hold on to the armrests to stabilize himself.
"I don't know...... Could it be that the super tsunami came ahead of schedule? Caused by crustal jitter? Mirin speculated.
But as soon as he said this, the door to the commander's office collapsed outward, and the corridor outside the door was gone. Even both of them saw that the roof of the porch outside the door was constantly collapsing, uh no, it should be said that more than half of the building outside the door was collapsing......
"Oh my God, guards, guards!" Welbeck subconsciously pressed the pager and began to growl. But at this time, more than half of the building is collapsing, how can any guards enter the commander's office, and the Avengers are about the same.
Mirin's head also blew up. Grabbing his hair hard, he said hysterically, "Oh my God, what the hell is going on?" I'm waiting to get married next week! ”
Welbeck rolled his eyes at this, and then realized that there should be no guards to protect him. Immediately corrected his attitude and wanted to notify the various airport terminals to save themselves, but unfortunately even the radio signal was out of order at this time. Of course. It's not a problem with the radio communicator itself, or with the relay amplifier. Rather, the underground power lines have been torn apart due to the subsidence of the islands.
At the moment, the only two means of communication available are satellite phones and walkie-talkies, which are limited to a few hundred meters away. It's a pity that the island sinking is not much worse than the power of the earthquake, and the patrol guards outside the headquarters building are more concerned about themselves, after all, even the building has collapsed more than half, although no one cares too much about the power outage in the daytime, but the phone is disconnected, and the building next to it is also collapsing, so naturally no one cares about the walkie-talkie.
As for the satellite phone, there is one in Lieutenant General Welbeck's office, and there is also a backup in the telecommunications office at the other end of the headquarters building, but these two are used to contact Hawaii and the Department of Defense, and other bases on the island really haven't considered providing satellite phones, after all, radio communication and wired telephones seem to be very sufficient, but I didn't expect that there would be such a "natural disaster" as the sinking of the island!
I have to say that Faerun's eyes were not in vain...... Under the deep sea, the island base of the Mariana Islands is at least 500 meters high and is beaten into sand by that gaze, and the current is carried away as soon as it passes, and the islands above sea level are naturally only sinking, and the most important thing is that the rock and soil composition of the islands cannot be immutable, some places have a large rock layer density, and some places have a small rock layer density, so that the volume is naturally very different, and the buoyancy in the sea water is naturally not the same, and it is impossible to think that some places will sink fast and some places will sink slowly.
However, the commanders of the various airports and wharves on Guam were quite quick to react, and almost immediately contacted the headquarters as soon as they felt the island sinking, but they could not be contacted, and immediately made the decision to evacuate the ships and take off the fighters. The only problem is that the ship is okay, after all, it is floating on the sea, as long as the personnel are well equipped and the supplies are sufficient, it is not a problem to escape from the sinking Guam, but the airports are a bit choking.
Originally, Guam was not sinking obviously, nor too quickly, and the collapse of the island foundation, which could be turned into sand, was a geometric eruption, and the faster it went to the back, the faster it became, and when the local crew dragged all kinds of fighters out of the warehouse, cracks had already appeared on the runways.
"Sir, you can't wait any longer, you must order the fighter plane to take off immediately, otherwise you won't be able to fly if you want to!"
This is obviously nonsense, Guam is an important stronghold of the US military in the western Pacific, and most of the fighters here are extremely expensive combat aircraft, and the number of such as transport planes and heavy bombers that can take off and land on the dilapidated runway is not much, once the airstrip shows irreparable cracks, then expensive goods like B-2 or F16 will definitely be trapped at the airport, and according to the current trend of ground sinking, once these fighters are trapped, then they will definitely be damaged. It is even unknown whether the entire island of Guam will be able to exist by then.
"You're right, immediately issue an emergency mobilization order and let all the planes at our base take off!"
Of course, the guys who can be so decisive are only the commanders of individual military aircraft bases, and more commanders hesitate at this time, after all, the current situation is critical as long as they are not fools can see it, and many pilots of the bases are living on the island with their families, and most of them can't let these Yankees abandon their wives and children to fly their fighters to the sky and be safe.
In the final analysis, in the United States, being a soldier and a pilot is just one of many professions, and it is also a high-income and high-welfare occupation, and if you want to let soldiers put their families' lives into it for a profession, if you definitely don't agree, then this is too absolute, but at least you have to weigh and hesitate, right?
Sometimes, however, things are often broken in hesitation, and by the time the pilots have made their choice and plan to take off, the difference in height between half of the large cracks on the runway has exceeded three inches, and the landing may be barely possible, but it is almost impossible to accelerate the takeoff.
At the same time, the islands of Tinian, Agrihan, Rota, Tinian ...... They have sunk, and the most fatal of them is Agrihan Island, this Nima is an active volcanic island, the whole island is a huge volcano, rising about 4,000 meters from the seabed, the altitude is more than 900 meters, there were still residents on the island 90 years ago, and in 90 years, it was found that the volcano showed signs of activity, causing the islanders to evacuate, Faeron stared upward, which is equivalent to cutting off the entire island base of the Mariana Sea Islands by more than 500 meters, and islands such as Guam and Saipan that are not even 500 meters above sea level are naturally sinking, and the active volcano of Agrihan Island can be boiled in an instant!
What's worse than a normal volcanic eruption is that the Agrihan volcano broke off at a depth of nearly 4,000 meters, and the hot magma suddenly overflowed from the sand-like island base, and when the island cover on it fell, the non-seamlessly jointed parts kept bubbling magma bubbles but were being cooled by the surrounding seawater, it felt like the pressure cooker vent was being plugged with rice cereal, it was a time bomb, God knows what the hell it would blow up once it erupted!
Guam, still standing in the building of the small half command.
"Sir, the sinking is accelerating, do you want to talk to the Ministry of Defense?" Mirin said in a trembling voice.
"I know, I'm going to contact Pentagon...... Before Welbeck could finish his sentence, he felt the floor of the entire office begin to shake violently, and the satellite phone in his hand also snapped and fell to the floor.
"Sir, sir, I—I don't want to die yet!"
"Shut up!" At the same time that Welbeck angrily screamed at Mirin, the whole person had already rushed towards the satellite phone on the ground, but in the next second, the entire ceiling fell from the top of the two heads......
At the same time, the headquarters of the American Union of the Chosen One.
"Bang!"
The door of President Gordon's office was slammed open, and Gordon, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, didn't even open his eyes, and immediately waved his big hand, and the fan flew out, and he cursed in his mouth: "Bastard thing!" ”
The person who was fanned away soon arrived at the door again, but this time he was obedient and did not enter the office, but reported at the door: "President, something is wrong!" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Russ sent to HK, the locator signal on them is gone......"
"What?!" Gordon's eyes opened now, "Are you sure?" ”
"It shouldn't be wrong, it's all gone, not a certain person!"
