Chapter 712: The Beginning of Confusion
Two hours, three hours, four hours, five hours......
When five or six hours passed, and people never saw even a ray of sunlight in the sky, everyone's worries finally became more and more anxious.
For five or six hours, except for the lights, there was darkness all around me, which was always like night.
No! It can even be said that it is even darker than the previous night, and there is no other light source at all except the light.
In the past, at night, there would be some starlight or moonlight or the like, but now, there is not even a single star of this!
Of course, in addition to being anxious, ordinary people should still go home to cook and eat. After all, no matter how worried and apprehensive you are, you can't bear to be hungry, can you?
It's just that, unlike usual, in the past few hours, there has been a massive 'rush to buy' in various cities.
Almost everything in the supermarket has been snapped up by people who are worried about whether there will really be a 'shijie apocalypse'. After a 'night of thunder' that lasted for three days and three nights a few years ago, causing some unprepared people to starve, and many people were persecuted by some violent and hooligans because they went out to find food, everyone is now more cautious.
It's all about believing what you have and not believing what you don't, and in any case, it's always right to stock up on more food and daily necessities at home. Anyway, even if the 'Shijie Doomsday' doesn't come, these things can still be used in the future, at most they just take up some space, which is not a hassle at all.
The 'rush to buy' turmoil made the owners of large and small supermarkets both happy and worried. After selling so many goods, I made a lot of money, and I was naturally happy. But...... If only the 'end of shijie' had come. I'm afraid that no amount of money will become like waste paper.
Everyone knows that in the real 'last days', only real materials, especially daily necessities, such as food, medicine, etc., are 'money' in the real sense! It can even be said to be 'life'!
Although some people with ulterior motives want to take advantage of the chaos to do some 'illegal things', fortunately, after the three-day 'thunder night' incident a few years ago, the state has already taken precautions against this, and there are already police patrols all over the streets.
Even. The armies of the major military districts received orders from their superiors and went to the major cities to take charge of maintaining order.
The intensive patrols made many people with bad intentions can't help but dispel the evil thoughts in their hearts.
Moreover, except for the abnormal 'solar eclipse' that appeared in the sky, it lasted for several hours and did not re-establish the light. There were no other effects. Everything around is in fact just like a normal night, although the major entertainment venues are destined to be very depressed tonight.
And with the time of Huaxia Kingdom, it has also entered the night. People can only learn about the situation through the Internet. Just when people learn that a few hours have passed. Now that the entire earth is still in darkness, there is no area where the sun shines, and the tension in everyone's hearts can't help but be even worse.
In particular, I saw many people talking about the 'end of Shijie' on the Internet, speculating about all kinds of possibilities, and even what it would be like if the 'end times' really came. How should people cope...... and so on, these topics have undoubtedly deepened people's anxiety and panic about the 'end times'.
Although the state wants to ban these 'doomsday' remarks, it is well aware of them. These remarks simply cannot be banned. Because you can't stop people from talking. No matter how much you prohibit it, people will still talk about it in various ways.
Unless you cut off the nation's internet connection. However, even so, people will inevitably talk about these things in real life between neighbors or friends and acquaintances.
Therefore, it is pointless to prohibit people from talking about the 'end of Shijie'. Moreover, compared to 'blocking the mouth of the people', the state still has more things to do and prepare.
What's more, even the top leaders of 'South China Sea' are skeptical about whether this 'shijie doomsday' will come, and they have even made a lot of preparations for this.
Even, not long after the 'solar eclipse' began, when the 'doomsday' remarks on the Internet had just erupted, the 'No. 1' of 'Huanan Nanhai' personally asked his secretary to call Zhao Yang and Song Wu to inquire about these two 'cultivators' who had reached a close 'cooperation' agreement with the state.
It's just that Zhao Yang is now far away in the Qingyu Temple of 'Wangwu Mountain', where there is no signal, and he can't receive a call from 'Huanan Hai'.
Therefore, the 'South China Sea' side only contacted Song Wu.
Regarding the things that the 'South China Sea' side asked, Song Wu did not hide anything, and told everything he knew. didn't say anything about the 'end of the world', but affirmed that this 'solar eclipse' was indeed closely related to the 'great changes in heaven and earth' that he and Zhao Yang had said to the two bigwigs in 'South China Sea', and even the beginning of the 'changes in heaven and earth'.
As for whether it will cause the so-called 'shijie doomsday', Song Wu is also uncertain about this.
After receiving the reply from Song Wu's side, the 'South China Sea' side also urgently raised the alert level of the whole country by two levels, and ordered all major military regions across the country to be ready to enter the highest alert level at any time in case something big happened!
Much the same reaction as Huaxia is the other major countries on Shijie. This includes the Rice Empire and the major nations of the continent of Europa.
In fact, these Western countries have not experienced a 'solar eclipse', and those ordinary people have not seen a 'solar eclipse' happen.
At the time of the eclipse, it was still night in the western region, so it was naturally impossible to see the sun.
However, when people in the western region woke up and found that it was still dark outside the window, they didn't notice anything unusual at first, and thought that they had woken up too early today and that it was not yet dawn, so they continued to sleep.
However, when a long time passed, these people woke up here, and saw that the sky outside the window was still dark, and these people could not help but start to be suspicious in their hearts.
Some people hurriedly took the alarm clock next to them, or their mobile phones, watches, etc., to check the time, and when they saw that it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, they were taken aback.
They all sat up from the bed abruptly, and then strode to the window and looked at the dark 'night' outside the window, with a dull expression on their faces.
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark outside...... This situation has surprised and somewhat overwhelmed people in Western countries who have had a night's sleep and do not even know what is happening.
After a while, after they came back to their senses, they hurriedly turned on their computers and went online to check the information to see what was going on.
When people in these Western countries learned about what was happening on the Internet, they couldn't help but stay in front of their computers.
What's going on?
Solar eclipse?
What kind of shit 'solar eclipse' will leave the entire earth without a single ray of sunlight? What kind of 'solar eclipse' can last for more than a dozen hours without disappearing?
This is what almost everyone thinks after learning about the situation.
Then, people in these Western countries immediately noticed the 'doomsday' remarks on the Internet, which is second only to the 'solar eclipse'.
Shijie Doomsday? It's the end of Shijie again! Could it really be that the end of Shijie will come?
People in all Western countries who saw those 'doomsday' remarks on the Internet panicked. Compared with Huaxia, in the minds of people in Western countries, this kind of 'shijie doomsday' remarks are easier for them to 'convince'.
In particular, the 'Thunder Night' a few years ago, which lasted for three days and three nights, and the language that broke out at that time about the 'Shijie Doom'...... These things are still vividly remembered in their memories.
"Could it be that the 'Shijie Doomsday' is really coming? No way! Whether that's true or not, I'll have to get some more food and other necessities first! ”
There are not a few people who think this way. So, as people in Western countries woke up from their sleep and discovered what had happened, the quiet streets, especially the supermarkets, immediately became extremely noisy.
Even, many supermarkets are not open at all, and they are already empty.
This is because the staff who work in the supermarket wake up in the morning and find the 'eclipse' and 'doomsday' remarks that have gone viral on the Internet, so they go directly to the supermarket where they work without saying a word, and then directly move the supermarket and bring it back to their respective homes.
As for whether there is such a thing as payment...... It's all at this time, who cares so much about him! Of course, there are also some staff who have a 'conscience' after all, who will directly pay by card at the cashier according to the things they have moved, but such people are a minority after all, and more people are directly and hurriedly moved things home!
As more and more people woke up and more and more people rushed around to buy supplies, gradually riots began to appear in many supermarkets.
Some people fight directly for food and various necessities! There are also some people who have no money themselves, but for the sake of supplies, they also directly start to rob, and run directly after grabbing a bunch of things, which has also triggered more people to follow suit, and have changed from 'rushing' to 'robbing'.
All of a sudden, the streets and alleys began to be filled with noise, screaming, robbery, and even more violent and extreme incidents that gradually evolved, such as rape, murder, smashing, and so on......
The chaos is rapidly spreading...... (To be continued......)
