Chapter 362: Panic and Humanity
Mi Li's House, San Francisco.
The members of the Ten Old Men quickly came to the density base of the Rocky Mountains.
There's a secret base they've built, a doomsday base, built specifically to research the end of the world.
It contains supplies that can sustain 10,000 people underground for ten years, as well as medicines, equipment, seeds, and a hydroelectric power station, a thermal power station, and a nuclear power plant.
Coupled with the Ten Old Men's other secret bases in the Rocky Mountains, they could use these bases to make a comeback after the apocalypse.
The Ten Old Men were in this Doomsday Base at this time, ready for the catastrophe that was very likely to come.
"Mr. Morgan, if the WX asteroid really can't be stopped, is this base of ours really safe?" The head of the Texas consortium asked with some unease.
Call! After taking a puff of cigar smoke, old Morgan said lightly: "If this place can't resist the end of the world, then where else can you escape?"
"Rest assured! It can withstand at least 500 million tonnes of mushroom eggs, and as long as the asteroid doesn't hit the Rocky Mountains directly, we'll be safe. DuPont said calmly.
Suddenly, an old Morgan's butler hurried up to old Morgan and whispered a few words in his ear.
Old Morgan frowned.
"What's wrong?" DuPont asked, putting down his wine glass.
"A NASA insider tweeted the news that the WX asteroid was about to hit the North Atlantic." Old Morgan said expressionlessly.
Dupont sneered: "Stupid fellow, what if those lambs know the truth? Will they be able to escape?"
"It's really a fool, what the people need is not to know the truth, but a stable social order, Morgan, what are you going to do about it?" said the chairman of the board of directors of Buntibank Bank.
"It's been dealt with." Old Morgan said coldly.
……
Mi Lijia, Twitter site.
[NASA concealed truth, the WX asteroid is about to hit the North Atlantic Ocean in four days, the end of humanity is coming, and all the people, those who want to live, are heading to the west side of the Rocky Mountains.] - Walker, a researcher at NASA's Satellite Surveillance Department?? Edward
There are also a lot of satellite monitoring data and screenshots below, which have been internal documents.
"The end of the world? Another liar. —Red Neck
"These documents seem to be real, is there really an asteroid that is going to hit the blue star?" - Princeton's astronomy enthusiast
"@NASA, is there really an asteroid about to hit the blue star? The public has the right to know, and I hope you can make it public. "- God is a girl
"It's the end of the world! God is going to punish sinful humanity! Hahaha! —Doomssayer
"If only it were the end of the world, I wouldn't have to pay my credit card and mortgage." —A slave from New York
"There are always so many ignorant people in this world." —Montesquieu
"Is there really an asteroid hitting the blue star? Anyway, it's a few days off, so I just went to San Francisco for a tour. —Grande, who is afraid of death
"It's definitely hype, don't believe this kind of thing." - Pinocchio's long nose
Soon, Maxwell, who was in the holographic conference room, knew about it, and he became furious on the spot and hurriedly went offline to deal with the matter.
Maxwell didn't want the public to know about this, after all, if the asteroid hit the blue star was really announced to the whole society, it might cause panic and social unrest, especially those who were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, they would definitely take the opportunity to do something.
In the despair of human beings, the darkness of human nature will be released, and the crimes of adultery, plunder, smashing, looting, and burning will definitely be like a flood, out of control, and even if the asteroid is intercepted, it will be very troublesome to restore social order.
Soon NASA issued an emergency announcement to explain the situation to everyone, saying that there was indeed an asteroid that would pass near the Blue Star, and NASA took out the situation before the WX asteroid did not change its orbit, and used this to temporarily reassure the public.
And that Walker?? Edward was immediately taken under control, and all of his tweets were censored, declaring him to be a psychopath.
But even so, there are still many people who will be suspicious, especially some of the more sensitive people, because many people have found that those so-called social elites have disappeared en masse.
The tycoons, high-ranking officials, scholars, and the like either went to work on the west coast of the Rocky Mountains, or traveled or attended the weddings and funerals of friends, and some went directly to Oceania or the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Although these people are tight-lipped, the people are not stupid, although some of them are really stupid, but there are not a few people who are shrewd and cunning.
Obviously, some people have also begun to notice that something is wrong, and people with small assets have taken action, but whether the asteroid hit the blue star is real, it is better for them to go first, if it is fake, it will be regarded as tourism.
This panic is slowly spreading at the bottom of society, and many criminal activities are becoming more and more rampant.
New York.
Edison convenience store.
Old Edison was looking at the shelves, and the biscuits, mineral water, dry food and other goods on it seemed to be selling a bit too much in the past two days, and he usually sold so many goods for a week or two.
Although he was very surprised, but the goods were selling well, the old Edison was very happy, and hurriedly picked up the landline in the store, and he was about to call the supplier.
Ding dong! Two figures pushed open the door and walked in.
"Welcome!" Edison Sr. said while talking on the phone.
"Hey! This is the New York Merchandise Union, what can I do ......" Old Edison was about to reply to the voice on the other side of the phone, when suddenly one of them, drawing a revolver from his coat, pointed it at Old Edison's stomach.
Grunt! Old Edison swallowed a mouthful of water, quickly raised his other hand, and then said with some trembling: "I'm sorry, I made the wrong call." ”
After speaking, he immediately hung up the phone and raised his other hand: "Brother, if you need anything, just take it." ”
The two robbers did not say a word, but brought some dry food and daily necessities, and took more than 200 American knives from the cash register, and walked away.
"Whew! Shet! It was such bad luck. Old Edison breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded himself angrily, and then he chose to call the police.
However, the New York police are too busy these days, the crime rate in New York has skyrocketed these days, and several of them are either on business trips or vacations, and they are now also suspicious of the asteroid hitting the blue star.
Throughout the North Atlantic coast, there is an undercurrent.
As for the Eastern Tang Dynasty, although the asteroid hit the Blue Star was not announced, the official still organized a very intensive survival exercise.
At the same time, preparations are made to bring daily necessities under control at any time, and these preparations are being carried out intensively.
And the six major consortia of the Sun Country and some official personnel and scientists are secretly transferring to Gaoli, Dongdao, and Dongtang.
After all, once the asteroid really can't prevent it from hitting the blue star, the solar country, which is the junction of the plates, will bear the brunt, even if it is not hit head-on, but dense strong earthquakes are unavoidable, and may even trigger large-scale volcanic eruptions.
So they had to plan ahead.
At 2 p.m. on September 9, 2019, the WX asteroid was only 3.25 million kilometers away from Blue Star, and 58 hours later, it was about to have an honest encounter with Blue Star.
In the holographic conference room of the Space Development Commission, representatives of space agencies around the world and six representatives of the five hooligans still have not come up with a suitable plan at this moment.
