Chapter 14: News
The so-called gathering of comrades-in-arms is just eating, drinking, and singing a song, which is really not much interest to Chen Fan, and after drinking a few cups and singing a few military songs, it is time for dinner to officially, and a group of big men left KTV and went up two floors.
The whole building of this Blue Moon Club has 8 floors, the third floor is KTV, the fourth floor is a bar, the fifth floor is a restaurant, the sixth floor is a bathing center, and the last seventh and eighth floors are hotel rooms.
According to expert analysis, this may be because the earth, the moon and Venus are exactly in a straight line caused by the three-body gravity, which will not affect the earth's ecological environment, please do not panic."
As soon as the elevator door opened, a news broadcast reached everyone's ears, and Chen Fan looked at it and saw that a nearly 80-inch TV in the hall was reporting national news. Seeing the news on TV, Chen Fan missed the days in the army again, at that time, every day in the army at 7 o'clock in the evening, he had to gather in the TV room to watch the news, sometimes, the instructor would also check the content that everyone had just watched after the news was broadcast, thinking of this, Chen Fan, who originally followed everyone to act together, stood in the hall and watched the TV, while those comrades-in-arms took care of themselves and walked towards the private room that had been booked.
"News from this station, yesterday there was a new type of insect plague in SG City, G Province, according to our investigation, this new type of insect appeared, similar to cockroaches, but the size is twice as large as ordinary cockroaches, according to biology expert XXX explained, this new type of insect is likely to be a cockroach mutation, the current domestic known insecticides do not have much effect on it, the new insecticides are being intensively studied, the development of the situation is still being further processed, this station will continue to track the report."
"SG City? It seems to be a place I passed by on the way back the day before yesterday, right? Hearing this news, in order to confirm, Chen Fan took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet, "Sure enough, it's here, SG City is a city at the junction of G Province and H Province, speaking of which, it seems that I had that dream in this place that night, it's really strange." Chen Fan muttered.
"Hey, hey, Brother Fan, what are you doing standing there? Everyone is seated, and you're left behind, and you've watched the news for five years, and you haven't seen enough, hurry up. Just when Chen Fan was puzzled, the urging of his comrades came not far away, and Chen Fan, who was in doubt, was interrupted from his train of thought, and hurriedly put the mobile phone back in his pocket, and walked towards the box.
At the dinner table, because he was happy to chat, Chen Fan put this matter behind him, after all, this incident in SG City was not a big event, and there were professional personnel to deal with it, and SG City was at least more than 500 kilometers away from Y City, where he was located, so this matter was just a strange hearsay.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone ate almost, some comrades-in-arms proposed to play again, and some said that there was still something to go at home, Chen Fan was one of the people who wanted to leave, because today on the first day I went to work in the Internet café of the uncle's house, and when I came out, the uncle also explained that he would go back before 12 o'clock, so Chen Fan did not plan to stay here for too long.
When he left the club, it was about half past nine in the evening, and there was no bus at this time, so Chen Fan had to take a taxi to catch up with the Chenxi Internet café, and the driver did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and quietly pressed the button of the radio.
"Hello listeners and friends, welcome to FM104.1, this is the midnight sound column of the Y City Music Traffic Channel, I am the host Sister Xiaoli, before the program starts, let's insert an important notice, due to the influence of star tides, all rivers and lakes may have high tides, residents near XX Lake, please prepare for flood control."
"Cut...... I believe you are a ghost, these so-called experts, they like to exaggerate small things, talk about big things, if there is really something that will cause panic, they will definitely block the news, until the incident can no longer be held back, like this as soon as it comes out and tell you that there is danger, in fact, there is nothing at all. As soon as the words on the radio fell, the driver said.
"Uh...... Hehe. When Chen Fan heard this, he didn't know how to answer, so he had to laugh.
"Brother, I see you, are you still a soldier?" As soon as the chatterbox was opened, the driver couldn't stop, and when he saw Chen Fan wearing a camouflage uniform, the driver asked repeatedly.
"No, I just got out of the army, and I came back yesterday." Chen Fan replied honestly.
"Retired Uh-la, well, it's good, the fallen leaves return to the roots. Did you listen to the notice just now, hehe, let me tell you, don't listen to her nonsense, it's winter, the water in XX Lake has receded to expose the silt at the bottom of the lake, the flood control embankment is more than 20 meters high, and even if the tide rises, it will not rise more than 20 meters overnight, at most it will rise by one or two meters, these media people like to exaggerate. The driver said.
"Eun, you're right." Chen Fan responded to the road.
"I have lived in Y City for 40 years, and except for the more serious year in '98, there has been no major flood, and the flood did not rise overnight, but lasted almost three months." The driver master continued.
"I knew about it in '98, when I was still in school. However, I heard from the older generation that there was also a flood in '54, and the scale was no smaller than that in '98. Chen Fan nodded and said.
"Hehe, little brother, do you know why the flood of '54 is also exaggerated? That's because at that time, the economy of our city Y was backward, and the river embankment at that time was just an ornament, but now it is different, the government pays attention to flood control every year, and our embankment has long been strengthened I don't know how high. The driver said with some pride.
"Eun, that makes sense." Chen Fan nodded in response.
Along the way, the taxi driver chattered as if he couldn't keep his mouth, Chen Fan only nodded symbolically to deal with two sentences, Chen Fan's head was already a little confused, and he was more and more confused by the driver's noise, he was different from most people, there are many people who talk a lot after drinking, and they can't stop when they open their mouths, but Chen Fan is sleepy after drinking, just when Chen Fan was about to fall asleep in the taxi car, the taxi driver finally took Chen Fan to the destination, the Dawn Internet Cafe.
