Chapter 233: Escaping from the Great Collapse
After experiencing the baptism of a steel rainstorm, the connection between the outer ring and the middle ring that Xingyao City was detached from has long been overwhelmed, and after the rotation system of the outer ring is temporarily overloaded, the sudden gravitational increase in the connection gradually becomes more and more fragile, and the Nipu group rushed back to the middle ring as fast as possible after completing the task, and the gravitational surge made it difficult for the vehicle to drive, and the road became extremely rugged, and it was almost impossible to find a complete section of road surface after being baptized by the iron rain.
"Hurry up! The collapse waits for no one, it is just waiting to bury people. Ah Liang shouted at the front, the high gravity made it difficult for everyone to walk, but fortunately, after approaching the middle ring, the gravitational force gradually began to return to normal, and the speed of the group became faster, continue to move forward like this...... You can also go back to the middle ring before it collapses.
"How's the road up ahead?" Nip grabbed a teammate's hand and struggled to pull him up a steep slope.
"It's still so tattered, but it's good compared to before."
"You go ahead, I still have the strength, and I can pick you up in the back." Nip glanced at the crumbling city behind him.
"Be careful." Ah Liang gave him a strange look, since they came out of the control center, it was like a different person, this person had never shown such an expression before.
The city behind him was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the torrential rain and the surging gravity became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the huge trees of steel and concrete that were as lush as the rainforest fell one after another, splashing up dust but not floating high in the air, and the dust was also bound by gravity, just confused and quickly precipitated to the bottom like the gum at the bottom of the water.
Just as Nip was about to turn away, a strange soft sound caught his attention, a familiar voice that he seemed to have heard somewhere...... After thinking for a few seconds, he realized that it was his phone ringing.
Telephone...... How far away is it, before order collapses......
The experience of this time made him feel that this world was extremely strange, everything seemed to be different from before, even the ringing that he could hear every day before had become so strange, as if it was a voice from another world.
Before, civilian communication tools such as telephones were out of use for a long time, and the large-scale chaos led to the complete paralysis of the communication network, otherwise the eight-eyed spider would not have given Nip their special communicator, but now, it seems to be back to normal, is it because of the signal tower?
Nip thought of the Nexus Tower he had repaired earlier, and he had used it to direct the evacuation of the others and summon his companions to complete the operation. It's just that he only guessed half right, the central signal tower can't support a civilian communication network like a mobile phone, and can only be used for large-scale broadcasting, the reason why the signal is restored now is because his actions have infected more and more people, and now the people gathered in the middle ring are actively restoring the infrastructure, and the basic communication and power have been restored with their efforts, and everyone is as unwilling to give up hope as easily as Nip, as long as there is one person who sets an example for them, people will unite and gather sand into a tower, Unleash great power.
Nip hesitated for a moment but answered the call, and although the call was a little suspicious, there was a feeling in the dark that he should answer the call.
"Hey, may I ask you γγγγγγ?" Nip pressed the answer button, and there was a lot of noise around him, several buildings collapsed and collapsed in his distance, and the loud sound was like the heavens and the earth were cracking, but Nip still heard the voice on the phone, it was a faint sobbing of a girl in horror and helplessness.
"Nip!" The voice was incredulously excited, "Is that you?" It's really you. β
It was a familiar voice, she shouted Nip's name, and the sobs slowly turned into wails, interspersed with pain and joy, and it was not difficult to imagine how much suffering she had experienced in such an environment.
The voice was familiar, even though it was loud and the cell phone signal was distorted, but he could still hear her.
"Kinna? Is that you?" Nip shouted into his phone.
Kinna's voice, like the ringtone of his cellphone, once again made Nip feel that distant, bygone world, and he had no attachment to the life he once had, perhaps this girl, if there were exceptions.
"Where are you? How's it going over there? Nip asked eagerly, the buildings in the distance were still crumbling rapidly, and there were very few left standing in the ruins, and the terrible shockwave of death was approaching them step by step, Nip felt the vibration under his feet, and he knew that time was running out.
"I don't know where I am, I heard the evacuation signal and started running this way, but I had an earthquake and I've been buried under it ever sinceγγγγγγ I was scared, my foot hurt. Jinna's voice gradually calmed down, it seemed that Nip's regain made her pick up her courage again, "Next to me, there is a heavy smell of burning, it is very dark and hot here, I don't know the exact location, I have been trying to call for help with my mobile phone, my mobile phone is lost, this mobile phone was found from the corpse next to me, there are many people dead hereγγγγγγ The phone has no signal, and finally the signal has just been restored, but I don't know who to call for help, I can only think of you. β
"Can you still hold on? I'll save you right away. Mark barely hesitated.
"I'm okay, but I'm suppressed, I shouldn't have hurt my internal organs and bones, there is a little skin trauma, and the bleeding has stopped." Jinna was still very calm, if she was hysterical at this time, no matter how great Nip's ability was, he would not be able to save her.
"Wait for me." Nip didn't hang up the phone and held it in his hand.
"Nip! What are you doing? "Ah Liang has been waiting for a long time on the other side of the hill, and everyone has already arrived at Zinip but is still grinding and chirping.
"I have to do something, you guys go first, I'll catch up with you soon." Nip said.
"What the hell are you doing at this time!" Ah Liang really couldn't understand Nip's thoughts, he just answered a phone call, he didn't know what to say, and then he started to run in the opposite direction, they gradually couldn't hear each other's shouts clearly, so they could only turn on the communicator.
"Leave me alone, you guys go first! I will be back! Believe me! β
It's harder to find someone in this ruin than to find a needle in a haystack, of course Nip knows this, but if he is asked to give up directly, he will not accept it anyway, he must try, this is his character.
