Chapter 112: The Great Evacuation

PS: To explain a little bit, the specific meaning of the word "fall" in the previous chapter is probably that the basic functions of the city are paralyzed, not completely submerged...... As for why the word "fall" is used, of course, it is because of domineering......

————————

[After 72 hours, the raging typhoon finally began to dissipate, the rain began to decrease, the water accumulation slowly decreased, and the rescue operation began]

[The army is organizing a mass evacuation, you decide to go out and have a look, and go inland with the affected people]

……

"Have three days passed?"

Cheng Lin stood quietly at the table, staring at the picture on the book.

The picture resembled an antique vase from the far-fetched story, and at this moment, the picture of the furious sea crushing the city had changed its appearance.

The city was dilapidated, the clouds had faded, but the rain was still falling.

Cheng Lin put on his raincoat again, pushed the door and walked outside.

The place where he had entered the safe house before was on the hill near the observation station, and Cheng Lin thought he would still be there, but he wasn't.

The safe house has been moved to the city at some point.

Cheng Lin didn't see what the specific place was for a while, until he found a tattered stop sign that had collapsed nearby, and he realized that this seemed to be in the Jing'an District.

The metal pole of the stop sign had been completely bent, and the huge metal stop sign hung diagonally on the water, and half of it had been submerged in the muddy rainwater.

"Whoa!"

Cheng Lin silently looked at the water at the door, which was already close to his chest, and his face was cloudy.

As far as the eye can see, the entire neighborhood is flooded.

Murky rainwater has engulfed most of the buildings on the ground.

The first floor of a restaurant at the corner of the street is completely gone, only a colorful sign across the waterline.

On the left side of the water are several cars that have been flooded and are on fire.

The windshield was basically broken, and there was a tree across the car, the broken mouth of the tree was white and greenish, and the leaves on the branches were almost all gone, and most of them were floating on the water, rippling in the wind.

A house on the right has collapsed, blocking half of the road.

There was also a huge black crack on the surface of one building, and the whole was obviously crooked, as if it would collapse if the wind was stronger the next moment.

Most of the residents in the neighborhood are hiding in high buildings.

A small number of them were outside in the rain to salvage floating objects.

No one cried.

No one shouted.

Just wading through the rain silently, with sadness and dazedness on his face.

It's a scene of disaster.

"Rumble ......"

Suddenly, Cheng Lin, who was still looking around, heard the sound of a rumbling propeller.

He looked up suddenly.

There were still large clouds piling up in the sky, but they were thinner, and the white outline of the sun could be seen, the color of which reminded him of pumpkin seeds that were less than a moon.

The wind went out, and the rain was much lighter, but it was still shaking.

A gray-black helicopter was flying over the city, it was very low, so the propeller motor was extremely loud, and the plane hung a red headlight out of nowhere, and the eye-catching beam was strafing in all directions.

The door of the plane was open, and a half-suspended ladder hung down.

A man in a military uniform is pushing down a large, tightly wrapped package.

The large package even had its own parachute and red light emitter.

With a striking red light slowly falling from above.

"Airdrop?"

Cheng Lin suddenly became a little excited.

But then, he heard the sound of an oversized loudspeaker coming from the plane:

"Notice! The city's great evacuation! The city's great evacuation! Residents of Jing'an District, please gather at Jing'an Temple at 2 p.m. today! Follow the troops to evacuate the Demon City! ”

"Play it again!"

"Notice! All residents of Jing'an District! Please meet at Jing'an Temple at 2pm today! Follow the army to evacuate the Demon Capital! ”

The loudspeaker was loud.

The windows of many houses in nearby residential areas have long been broken, either empty or temporarily blocked by plastic sheets, curtains, bedding, and even furniture such as tables and chairs.

At this moment, hearing this sound, those black holes or broken windows appeared in dense heads.

"Help me!"

"I'm going to get on the plane!"

"Anyone? Get us out of here! ”

"Come down! Don't leave! ”

"Stop yelling! Save some effort! ”

"Retreat? I don't want it! I just bought a new house! Feed! If you are a soldier, don't go! ”

“***! Where are the people of the government dead! ”

"Wow Wow Wow ......"

The whole neighborhood was instantly lively.

Someone called for help.

Someone was abusive.

There is also the crying of a baby, mixed together, even if the rain is overwhelming.

It's only been three days.

But many people who do not have food at home are already hungry and weak, and they do not even have the strength to scream.

Others did not say a word, quickly came out of the doors and windows, and then lay down in the rain, and rushed to the airdrop supplies.

Soon, it was crowded with people, and then there was a quarrel and scramble.

More people silently muttered the date of two o'clock in the afternoon and began to hurry up to pack their things.

Jing'an Temple is a well-known attraction nearby.

Almost everyone knows the location.

But on this road, it is almost impossible to drive, but boating is more practical.

There are real people rowing.

Cheng Lin saw with his own eyes that a huge bathtub suddenly pushed out of a window, falling on the water, causing a huge splash, it seemed that it had been blocked a long time ago, so it could float on the water, and the man in the window threw a few backpacks into the "boat", and then forcibly pulled out a crying woman and put it in the bathtub.

This scene seems to have inspired many people.

So many people began to pour the bathtub and bathtub, and if they didn't have it, they removed the indoor wooden door and threw it into the water.

Others are more straightforward, jumping directly into the water and half-swimming and half-walking.

A couple jumped out of the window, the girl cried and shouted something at the window, and the boy forced her away with a face of silence.

A moment later, a big golden retriever with a bow appeared at the window and barked sadly.

Then jump into the water...... Swim faster than these two.

An old man with silver hair opened the cage and urged the release of two showy finch.

Then he put on a raincoat and stepped into the icy water, leaving only his head exposed on the water, gasping for breath.

One......

One......

The news of the evacuation seems to have been announced for a long time, so the people here are not very surprised.

Of course, there are many, many people who are reluctant to go.

House, car, ticket...... Here's everything they have.

Some people insisted on waiting.

Wait for the flood waters to subside.

But there were also people who rushed desperately to the assembly point, as if they were afraid that it would be too late.

"Great Retreat, ......"

Cheng Lin witnessed all this, motionless, just muttering.

In the event of a natural disaster, even if it is affected, there will be no region-wide evacuation.

At most, settle intensively, and then quickly rebuild.

And at this moment, the government is clearly telling everyone: the whole city is retreating!

What does this mean?

"It seems that the government has determined that this place cannot be saved."

Cheng Lin sighed secretly.

He did not know exactly what the global disaster situation was.

But it's already extremely serious.

Serious to the point that the authorities accepted the possibility of the end of the world.

That's why such a big deal is used.

"The population of the magic capital is tens of millions, and the urban area is at least a few million, and this is just one place, according to the impact of more than a dozen provinces on the entire coast, the population that needs to migrate is probably as many as hundreds of millions."

Hundreds of millions of people......

Even in the deduction, Cheng Lin couldn't help but take a breath.

And it's not just a matter of population.

The entire Xia country has a population of more than one billion people and a huge economy, most of which are in the coastal and southern regions.

In other words, it was not just people's homes that were destroyed by typhoons and tsunamis.

For the country, it is equivalent to cutting off half of the body with a knife!

The direct economic losses are likely to be as high as trillions.

The consequential losses are countless.

At this time, how much national strength, manpower, material and financial resources will be consumed by this great migration of strong men with broken wrists?

How many contradictions and deaths are created?

I can't imagine it.

And such turmoil is not only in the Xia country, but ...... Global coverage.

……

……

"Boom ......"

Dark green trucks with Jinling Military Region license plates lined up in a long line and drove towards the magic city.

There are so many of them, at first glance, that there are thousands of them.

If you stand high enough in the distance, across the rain, the procession of military vehicles is really like a meandering crawling dragon, with green mountains and lakes as the background, stirring and ripple countless places in the distance.

The magic capital has a vast area.

The low-lying areas have been completely submerged.

The higher ones were submerged by nearly half.

The higher ones are barely enough for traffic.

This group of troops, which had been mobilized by order three days before the battle, drove out of Jinling and arrived outside the Demon City in only five hours.

But in the next three days, he could not make an inch.

Dead was stopped outside the city.

Typhoon and tsunami made it impossible for military vehicles to enter.

The order of the command center of the magic capital is to wait for the wind and rain to stop and harvest, and then enter the city to provide disaster relief.

However, no one would have thought that this would be a full three days.

The trucks carrying supplies for the army made several trips.

And with the news coming from various regions of the country, people's hearts are getting heavier and heavier.

Ordered disaster relief from the very beginning.

It has become the current maintenance of order and the organization of a large migration of tens of millions of people.

This is an unprecedented task.

……

In a lesser-affected building in the Magic City.

The official surnamed Jiang and the director of the second division sat down in a conference room again.

There is a constant flow of information.

"The army has entered the city, and according to the assignment, it will appear on time at the assembly points in each district!"

"Today's materials have been delivered, and the inspection documents will be delivered later."

"The railway transportation side is making every effort to repair it, and strive to clean it up within six hours!"

"The harbor is completely destroyed, and the ships and ships dispatched to mobilize are entering the sea through the sea, and the first ships are already in place!"

"Aviation says it can't fly right now!"

"The city's medical rescue work has been launched......"

Almost every minute, a new report arrives.

And every minute, there is also a reply order to be sent out of this small room.

The Great Migration of the City.

How easy is it to say?

In this conference room, the top leaders of almost all important departments in the entire magic capital were gathered.

For three days, everyone slept less than four hours a day.

The major departments headed by the Ministry of Special Affairs coordinated operations, constantly mobilized materials, and prepared for rescue.

And the orders from the capital are also more important than the other.

Every order in the capital was like a boulder, pressing on the hearts of everyone present.

Three days had passed, and the heavy stones had piled up like a mountain, weighing everyone down.

At first, the official surnamed Jiang scoffed at Triss's judgment about the end of the world.

But as three days passed, and as the feedback from all over the country and even the world flew like snowflakes, he was no longer as sure as he used to be.

Especially when the order for the "great retreat" of the capital was sent, it was even more like a heavy blow.

The Great Migration, involving hundreds of millions of people, already shows something.

The supreme governor, who received the order, completely gave up any illusion and began to cooperate with the whole city to fight the catastrophe.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that in this great battle, the most powerful people were the cultivators of Trisi.

In the face of the catastrophe of heaven and earth, although these cultivators were unable to resist, they burst out with amazing execution.

"How long is it until the first people are evacuated?"

The official surnamed Jiang took off his glasses, closed his bloodshot eyes, and asked.
