Chapter 10: The Last Days of the Ice Ages (10)
Pei Yichang looked at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.
He called a friend who was working abroad, and the Visman Islands happened to be part of that country, and it was daylight.
Although his friend was surprised by his request, he agreed to help him keep up to date with the news in the Visman Islands.
The rest of the time is only to wait.
He had never felt that time was so difficult, and every once in a while he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and even seriously wondered if the clock was broken, otherwise how could it go so slowly?
I can't wait to help it go faster.
Finally, in order to divert his attention, Pei Yichang turned on the computer and began to search for content about blizzards and ice age, wanting to know more about it.
The time unconsciously reached eleven twenty, when the mobile phone on the desktop vibrate, Pei Yichang picked it up and scratched it at an unprecedented speed, and the whole process took less than two seconds!
"I'm going, a super typhoon hit the Visman Islands a few minutes ago! The typhoon formed very quickly and at a very fast speed, and when the meteorological bureau found out, there was not much time for everyone to evacuate! Yichang, you asked me to pay attention to the Visman Islands, did you get some inside information! You ......"
Hearing the sound coming from the mobile phone, Pei Yichang only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body was stiff!
What the girl said really happened!
So the Ice Age is likely to be true as well?!
Pei Yichang's heart was pounding, and his scalp was numb for a while.
This is not something he can solve alone!
Pei Yichang and his friend hurriedly ended the call, he dialed a number again, and after connecting, he shouted-
"Dad!"
"What's the matter? The disturbing and clean in the middle of the night, can you endure it for a long time? β
Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Pei Yichang couldn't cry or laugh.
The old man was a little angry when he got up, and it seemed that he was woken up by himself after falling asleep, and he was a little impatient.
"Dad, I have something important to tell you."
"Say."
Pei Yichang roughly said what he heard from Xingyun about the Ice Age, and when he finished speaking, the other side of the mobile phone was silent for a long time, and after half ringing, Old Man Pei's voice rang again.
"Where did you hear that?"
His father neither said that he was talking nonsense, nor did he scold him for being alarmist, but asked him where he heard it, and Pei Yichang smelled something unusual from it.
He couldn't help asking, "Dad, have you heard something?" β
"Last week, the United Nations Environment Programme convened a global conference on the greenhouse effect. According to the news from the Antarctic research station, the Antarctic glaciers are melting faster than everyone thinks, which may cause a series of climate changes. At that meeting, some experts proposed that in the next few hundred or thousands of years, Aqua Blue Star would face the fifth glacial age, and hoped that countries would take measures, but this did not attract the attention of most countries. β
"Why?"
"Why? Because those measures will touch some benefits, which will cause economic losses. β
Pei Yichang was silent, and the other end of the phone continued: "Two days ago, your uncle attended an internal meeting about it. The meeting referred to the recent frequency of meteorological disasters around the world, which, combined with recent satellite data, suggests that the time since the Ice Age could be significantly shortened, perhaps even in a dozen years. β
"Then why hasn't any news come out?"
"Heh, what's the news? What other effect can these uncertain news have than cause panic among the people and cause social unrest? β
"That can't keep everyone in the dark, right?!"
"So what should you do? Inform the world, and then the people panic and cause social unrest? I didn't know you were so naΓ―ve. β
Pei Yichang didn't speak, and Old Man Pei asked, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, where did you get the news?" β
Pei Yichang's right hand gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles began to turn slightly white, he hesitated again and again, but finally did not let go.
"Dad, I told you don't care where I got the news, you must believe me, the Ice Age is real, and the time of disaster is not more than ten years later, but just two days later! Time is of the essence, we can't hesitate any longer! You must know that this is a matter of survival for all mankind, and it will be too late! β
There was silence on the other end of the phone again, and it was a long time before a voice came, "Do you know what you mean?" β
"Of course I know that there are so many people in the country, and if it's true, we have to come up with a response plan as soon as possible. What's more, the capital is also to the north, and we may even have to move the capital! β
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time, as if he was thinking about how true what Pei Yichang said just now.
"Dad, just believe me once, I'm not joking!"
Because Pei Yichang didn't say Xingyun, there was not enough evidence to prove what he said, so it took a lot of effort to convince Old Man Pei.
"Alright, stinky boy! I'll trust you once, and I'll talk to some old guys later. If not...... Look how I clean you up! β
"That's right," Mr. Pei finally advised: "Don't reveal this matter first, especially don't talk nonsense on the Internet!" β
"I know."
Pei Yichang discussed with the old man for a while and decided to send the female dependents to the south in advance.
As for the men in the family......
Whether it's because of duty or something else, they're here to stay.
After that, Pei Yichang rushed home as fast as he could, and he had to convince his wife and daughter to leave Jin'an City early tomorrow morning and go south.
By the time he came out of the house to go to the Meteorological Bureau, it was already two or three o'clock in the morning.
Pei Yichang had just started the car, and it suddenly occurred to him that he knew that he had to send his family away to a safer place in the south, so what about the girl who knew all this?
Could she be stupid to stay home?
Pei Yichang hurriedly drove to Xingyun's house and found that there was no one at home!
Pei Yichang took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number he had received from Xingyun before.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off......"
Hearing the prompt sound from the mobile phone, Pei Yichang shook his head with a wry smile and sighed lightly.
I was so shocked by the news that all my attention was on confirming the authenticity of the news, and I didn't think of this aspect in the first place.
Pei Yichang pondered for a moment and decided to call again tomorrow morning, and if no one answered, he would go to check where they had gone.
It's not that I want to monitor Xingyun completely, but I just know where she is, and I have a bottom in my heart, so that when I want to find someone, I find that I can't find it.
Pei Yichang restarted the car and drove to the Municipal Meteorological Bureau.
There is an acquaintance in the city's meteorological bureau, and he is going to go there tonight to keep an eye on it, and the girl said that there will be a continuous rainstorm in Jin'an City at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and it will even cause floods, and he has to go and see if he can see anything in advance.
There are also the mayors and high-ranking city officials, and he will have to talk to them early tomorrow morning.
His small criminal police detachment leader is indeed nothing, and at this time, he can only use the name of the Pei family.
There are also troops stationed on the outskirts of the city, and he also has to contact and prepare for everything he can do at the moment!
It was an ordinary night, and it was an unusual night, and I don't know how many people were running around and sleepless all night because of a piece of news......
