Chapter 11: The plot has changed
The other side.
When Shen Zhu communicated with the World Tree, the male protagonist Sam Hall had already persuaded the survivors on the first and second floors of the library to warm up with two or three people around the sacred tree; All that was left of them was a layer of winter clothing, and the rest of the clothes and cotton were stripped off in a corner.
However, when they were in the reading room on the third floor, the male protagonist Sam Hale and they encountered difficulties, and the survivors here were basically stubborn, they resisted Superman's help, and declared that they would not accept Superman's sacred tree even if they were frozen to death.
However, in the reading room, even if the survivors closed all the ventilation openings that could be closed, and wore five or six layers of thick clothing, they could not resist the cold of minus seventy or eighty degrees, so they were so cold that their faces were stiff and their mouths were blue, and they sometimes paced in circles to dispel the shivers in their bodies.
When someone saw his child trying to pass out, he asked, "Is there a stove here?" “
Hearing this, the male protagonist Sam Hale was about to say something, but the library staff came out first and said, "Yes, it's in a room not far from the next door, but it hasn't been used for about a hundred years." “
"Take us to see first." Survivors with children hurriedly urged the library staff to lead the way.
”……“
At this time, the male protagonist Sam Hale was instantly helpless, and he was really helpless about the survivors who would rather go to the stove to warm up than accept the superhuman sacred tree, and he said that he couldn't keep it, so he had to stay in place and watch the survivors in the reading room leave the scene.
"Sam, let's go over and have a look, too." The female protagonist Laura stepped forward and put one hand on the shoulder of the male protagonist Sam Hall and comforted her.
The male protagonist Sam Hall thought for a while and felt that he couldn't give up and couldn't lose points in front of Laura, so he nodded in agreement, and took Laura, J.D., Bayern and the black wanderers and a dog to follow in the direction where the survivors left.
Meantime.
Shen Zhu, who had just come out of the Void World, only saw Superman Mark Jason who was staying in the hall on the first floor, and he was already extremely calm at this time, sitting on the ground in front of a pile of materials and sacred trees, and was talking to the government about the situation in New York.
Since the accident in New York, coupled with Superman Mark Jason's press conference, the outside world has been in an uproar, and then the people from the north have fled to the southern states in a chaotic manner.
While the U.S. government is doing its best to evacuate people, the northern states near the Arctic Circle have not had so much luck, as the northern states have been the ones that have followed the accident in New York.
Therefore, with the latitude and longitude of New York as the boundary, the people in the cities south of the direction had time to flee to the southern states, and the rest of the cities were notified by the American government to prepare supplies and stay in their houses for refuge.
However, the U.S. government and the hero's father, Jack Hall, met in a White House conference room to discuss what to do with those who were abandoned.
Military representatives said that they had tried their best to evacuate the people, but they really had no ability to rescue them, so they could only break their wrists.
The Vice President of the United States retorted that since we had already rescued most of the people, why abandon them, it was the duty of the government to do it even if it was difficult.
And Jack Hall made a suggestion: It's too late in time, but we need to contact Superman, maybe he has a way.
So, Jack Hall kept calling Superman Mark Jason's mobile phone in the eyes of everyone.
About half an hour later, the call, which was supposed to be a beep, suddenly went through.
"Thank goodness." Jack Hall was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Mark, I'm Jack Hall, I'm now a representative of the American government, I want to ask you how the situation is in New York?" “
Jack Hall placed the microphone on the table and turned on the loudspeaker mode.
"It's terrible here in New York, the city was already flooded by the tsunami when I came, even though I had already extinguished the sea in the city after five or six minutes, but."
Hearing Superman's words, everyone in the conference room suddenly fell silent for a moment, and the scene they could imagine was almost covered with corpses on the ground.
It didn't take long for the president of the United States to come to his senses, and then motioned to the male protagonist's father, Jack Hall, to let him continue.
"Mark, you also know that today or tomorrow, we are facing the advent of the second ice age, so please put the survivors of New York in a safe place."
"Let me start with the good news, we're about 3,000 people in the New York Public Library." Superman Mark Jason thought for a while and told the basic situation here to the American government, because he needed the government's help, there were only more than 1,000 people before, and then Shen Zhu and they brought back more than 1,000 people, and now, there are still people coming according to the address information left by Shen Zhu.
Soon, supplies will be consumed and empty, so the bigger question is, should everyone crowd into the library to take refuge, or go south?
Hearing this, everyone in the White House conference room stretched their brows, and there were still more than 3,000 people in New York who survived, and it was rare to hear the news of a "lucky in misfortune."
"So, Mark, what are you going to do? How are you going to solve the problem? In Jack Hall's view, trouble was to come. Soon, New York lost all access to the outside world, and the food for more than 3,000 people alone was an astronomical amount.
"Yes, I'm running out of supplies here in about two days, so we're going south...... By the way, rescue people trapped in other cities. Superman Mark Jason put the plan simply.
"No, Mark, listen, it's dangerous to go south now, because soon it's an ice age, and the temperature drops in an instant will freeze you."
"No, Jack, I have a way, although I can't eliminate this ice and snow disaster covering the Northern Hemisphere, you should know, I have superpowers, it can help us get through the next cold weather, even if the temperature jumps from more than 30 degrees to 150 degrees Fahrenheit in an instant, we can get out of danger."
Hearing this, Jack Hall immediately covered the microphone and turned his head to look at the President of the United States, who thought for a moment and then nodded for Jack Hall to take the idea.
"Okay, so what do you need me to help with?"
"I need to know the location of the underground war strategic material reserve warehouse here in New York, and you asked the government to quickly collect trees, preferably bonsai trees, and I'll go over later, and we'll talk about these details." Also, give me a copy of the location of survivors trapped in remote locations. “
……
Shen Zhu, who heard the rumors not far away, suddenly relaxed after learning this information from the outside world;
In this way, his inexplicable guilt was removed, because in the original movie, the American government abandoned the residents of the states north of the White House in Washington, D.C., and the current situation is that New York, a city south of the latitude and longitude line, has basically fled to the southern city, so it can be said to be a big change.
It seems that there is a credit for Superman here, without the cooperation of his earth-shattering news reports, otherwise the report and persuasion of the male protagonist's father, Jack Hall, would not have worked.
