Don't think it's a joke.

was caught by the American police, and small things can indeed be let go with two verbal warnings, which is similar to spitting and being criticized.

But it angered the police, strictly enforced the law, and sent to the detention cell without any problems.

The two of them came out of the Spanish-speaking community, and they almost sighed in unison as they looked at the chaos around them.

Luke was the first to ask, "What are you sighing for?" ”

Selena: "I think it's a blessing that my parents chose Shackford and honestly got a job on the ranch. Here, I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance to stand out! What about you? ”

Luke: "It takes a lot of effort to break free from this environment and become a talent. However, I would like to say that in the event of a riot, this is probably one of the starting areas. ”

Selena shook her head: "We can't stop this, look at God and his old man." ”

Luke nodded in agreement.

If there is no subsequent earthquake, these small chaos will gradually fall silent like mud rising from the bottom of a pond.

So, everything depends on God's mood.

When he got home in the evening, Luke smiled wryly at the experience points he had earned: this is a big joke.

In particular, if you catch the little thieves who steal small shops and residents in one day, you can net a little 1,000 experience points!

Are potential criminals in Los Angeles really that much? He also had a sense of powerlessness.

When he got home, Luke didn't bother to get too much to eat, so he stuffed the pickled food into the oven and spread it out on the couch.

He was full of physical strength, but his spirit was a little tired from the torture of those strange things.

Fortunately, Claire had already come home and pulled him into squeaky chatter, and Luke simply told her about these strange things as a joke.

Claire laughed at what she heard, which made Luke's mood happy.

Sometimes, it is nothing to bring happiness to your family and friends, and to meet some strange things.

Luke also told the news he saw today, but Claire was full of strangeness: "No." Why didn't I see the news? ”

Luke was stunned: "No?" ”

Claire shook her head decisively, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, I met a friend when I participated in the national middle school cheerleading competition, and she seemed to say that she was going to San Francisco, so I asked her." ”

Luke: "If she were an ordinary family, she probably wouldn't have heard anything." ”

Claire took out her phone and rummaged for the number before she spoke: "Her mother's boyfriend is the president of a large company in San Francisco, the very rich kind. ”

Luke:...... Your friend's mom is so tired!

Claire said a few words and hung up: "She said she hadn't heard this kind of news, her mom's boyfriend was going to San Francisco tomorrow, and she would fly over to the vacation together." Unfortunately, I still have to get acquainted with the environment in Los Angeles. ”

Luke could only interrupt her fantasies: "If there is no earthquake, it would be fine if you want to go and play for a few days, but don't go now." ”

Claire's face became solemn.

She knew Luke well, he never joked around in business.

Even on April Fool's Day every year, his jokes are harmless, just to cope with errands.

"Should I remind her and her future stepfather not to go to San Francisco?" Claire hesitated.

This kind of interference in other people's private schedules is very taboo.

But if there really is going to be an earthquake in San Francisco, is she just watching her friends go into the danger zone?

Luke raised his hand and took the tablet: "Wait until I check the information of the man on the TV at noon." ”

As he spoke, he quickly typed information from Caltech, Lawrence Hayes, on the tablet.

After watching it for a moment, his face became solemn: "The person on TV is a professor at the California Institute of Technology, who has been engaged in earthquake research, and it is said that they have made some progress in earthquake prediction in recent years, and they can predict a small percentage of earthquakes to a limited extent. ”

Claire thought for a moment, "So is his prediction accurate or not?" ”

Luke: "Surely not that accurate, otherwise he would be the world's top expert, and I wouldn't need to look up his information." But there is a chance that his words will come true. ”

Claire was entangled: "Then should I call Blake?" ”

Luke frowned and raised his hand again: "I'll talk to this professor." ”

This time, he got up and walked to the backyard, and after talking for a while, he walked back.

Claire: "How's it going?" ”

Luke: "It's best to tell your friend not to go to San Francisco, and not to stay in a tall building in Los Angeles." Well, you too. If possible, don't go into the city center and high-rise buildings these days. ”

Claire: "Is that true?" ”

Luke shook his head: "I just asked him how sure he was of his prediction this time, and he said that there was a 90% chance of a higher number of earthquakes. ”

Claire wondered: "He said you would believe it?" ”

Luke glanced at her: "Because I said that as long as his prediction is accurate this time, whether it happens or not, I will donate a sum of money to his earthquake research project." ”

Claire:...... Well, having money does solve a lot of problems.

There's no one on Luke's side who needs to be notified.

Just called Ginny and told her that there might be an earthquake, so that she could stay in a low building lately.

Ginny asked a few words in surprise, and then realized that Luke's source was uncertain and could not be hyped up.

It is difficult to say whether it is rumor-mongering to create turmoil or a kind reminder to everyone.

In many cases, it is better to know in advance that the consequences of a disaster will occur.

As soon as the news of a disaster spreads, its severity will change from the initial one to the last one hundred or even ten thousand, and small incidents can also cause big chaos.

Among Luke's relatives in his last life, there were people who bought iodized salt once and could eat it for ten years. - His family was a little better that time, and he could continue to buy salt after eating it for two years.

Therefore, this kind of uncertain news really cannot be spread randomly.

Claire still called her friend Blake, but judging by her expression, it didn't seem to turn out well.

Luke put his arm around her and comforted, "It's just uncertain news, you just have to do your best." ”

Claire nodded sullenly, silent.

Luke continued, "If there is an earthquake, try to rush home and don't go out if you are sure it is safe." ”

His house is a bungalow, and there are no tall trees or telephone poles within a few dozen meters of it, which is indeed the safest place in the event of an earthquake.

Claire was helpless: "Didn't you say it was just a speculation?" ”

Luke patted her on the head: "I can't control others, but I can control you, who made you my sister." ”

Claire couldn't argue.

In the evening, Luke went out again for a walk, and returned before three o'clock in the morning.

This time I went out and gained very little.

Yesterday's bugging devices in the houses of a few well-informed gang bosses didn't yield much of a deal, and everyone was talking about the chaos caused by today's earthquake.

And there is very little news of out-of-town outlaws that Luke is most concerned about.
