Chapter Twenty-Five: The Great Retreat Begins
"According to Reuters, a spokesman for the Morgan consortium declared that the financial system will not collapse, and that the consortium will make a series of adjustments according to the internal finance of the refuge, and that the old world financial system will be integrated with the refuge financial system and ...... at the same time"
McKale looked at the picture on the TV, listened to the voice of the reporter inside, he angrily threw the beer bottle directly to the TV, suddenly, the TV sparked and went black, the screen was smashed, and McKale directly scolded and yelled: "Liar! It's all a lie! These rich people must have gone to the shelter a long time ago, right? Leave us poor waiting outside to die, hahaha......"
McKale wasn't the only one who was ranting and screaming, the whole of America, no, the whole world, at least seventy percent of people were screaming like this, and then most of them started smashing things, from their own homes, to public, and even other people's, and of course, just as the riots were about to turn into riots, they stopped.
It's not that they are more rational and restrained, but long before the countries of the world announced the news of the end of the world, the armies of these countries, seeing clearly, are not police forces, but national defense forces are already on standby, and enter the city to take over all the city defense, and the countries almost unanimously issued the same order, that is, a new decree was promulgated, called the crime of obstructing the continuation of mankind, once confirmed, immediately shot, because from the announcement of the end of the world to the end of the Great Retreat, All countries are subject to military law, and any riot will not be waiting for the riot police, but the direct suppression of the army, which refers to the direct attack with guns, artillery, and even missiles, because once the crime of obstructing the continuation of mankind is confirmed, then the person will be judged as a terrorist, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy!
Under such a high-pressure rule, the order of the entire planet is still tolerable, even if it is precarious, but the so-called financial system is not to be considered, almost the vast majority of the world's companies and group stocks collapse in an instant, the financial system depreciates in an instant, and almost no one on the whole planet continues to work, vent, enjoy, luxury, madness, and ...... Despair, that's what all people on the planet think right now.
A day ago, all the governments of the world announced at the same time a shocking news that the end of the world would come in a month, of course, the time when the real end of the world began, it is impossible for the governments of the world to say, the so-called month, it is already fifteen days after the second batch of humans entered the shelter.
At first, people all over the world didn't believe it, after all, such news was so ridiculous that a large number of people made noise on various forums and websites, saying that the governments of the world had unified and played a great April Fool's joke on the world, although it was not April Fool's Day, but this news was obviously not believed by idiots, such as the end of the world, then at least tell us what kind of end of the world is? Meteorite impact? Earth's magnetic field transformation? Resident Evil? Nuclear Armageddon? Isn't it a lie to say that the world will end in a month without saying anything? And so forth and so on.
But then, in less than a day, the people of the world saw what is called real, that is, many of them have never seen the army enter the city in their lives, real guns, trenches, pillboxes, tanks and planes, all the armies are according to the real war to arrange their defense lines, all urban areas are divided into several to dozens of areas to arm, under this arrangement, not to mention the riots of urban residents, even if there is a war, it can be topped down, this is the rhythm of real war, and what is even stranger is that There are no countries in the world that advertise each other, and it is clear that this arrangement is not intended to prepare for war, and as for what to prepare for, it is needless to say.
Because of this situation, the people who were still mocking gradually quieted down, and this strange silence was not until the leaders of various countries appeared in person and announced that the situation of the end of the world was real, many famous people in society, not in the entertainment industry or anything, but the kind of real heavyweights, such as political, such as economic, similar to the Morgan family members just now is one of them.
Of course, the government can't only report despair, if it only reports despair, then not only the people will riot, but even the army will be involved, this is the absolute doomsday, so when the end is announced, within twelve hours, various countries begin to announce another message, that is, the existence of the refuge.
In the next 12 hours, all countries began to broadcast the shelters through a documentary-like mind, of course, these shelters are the shelters that their respective countries have begun to build a long time ago, such as the shelters built by the United States, most of which are located below the ground, which can prepare for the nuclear apocalypse or the meteorite apocalypse, with complete internal facilities, an internal life support circulation system, and a variety of materials, etc., the shelters of the United States alone are enough to contain 30 million people, or even more. This is a series of large-scale shelters that the United States has been building since the Cold War, and after the meme appeared, the United States expanded on this basis, and decades of construction before and after ensuring the scale and facilities of these shelters, basically, one-tenth or even more of the population of the United States can be contained in them.
In the same way, Russia, country Z, Britain, France, and even other powerful powers except the five hooligans basically have similar shelters, but the number of shelters in these countries is basically based on one-tenth to five percent of the population of their own countries.
During these twelve hours, all the news in the world was broadcasting about these shelters, and the number of people who could be contained was as large as possible, not just literally, but various countries opened these shelters, inviting people from all walks of life and a large number of journalists to come in and report, so that after twelve hours, the countries began to announce the next shelter selection mechanism.
First of all, all countries require that those who can enter the shelter must first be natives, and migrant workers are not selected if they return to their own countries, and secondly, they are required to have no criminal history, and their identity will be assessed in detail, including but not limited to ****** tendencies, violent thinkers, ** thinkers, and so on, and people with these attributes are also not selected.
Then, in the national public mechanism, there are high-level scholars, people with special talents, people in good health, soldiers, military families, etc., and they have a certain priority to be selected......
In short, the existence of the shelter, as well as the existence of the selection mechanism, made the people a little quieter, and no longer as desperate as at the beginning, although some of them are completely desperate, but these are either in prison, or they are wanted criminals, or they are **** forces, or the government has long monitored them or destroyed them directly, in short, these people can't make any waves, and the rest of them are beginning to have hope, because most of them meet the selection rules, So they don't sin at this time, at least until it's confirmed that they're absolutely desperate.
In this way, the population is at least temporarily in a state of stability, although everyone knows that this state of stability is time-limited, and once a certain time limit is reached, or once they confirm that they cannot save the vast majority, the remaining people will destroy everything.
And in such a selection, the first batch of 10 million places was also quickly determined, and after Chu Hao and others accepted the first batch of buildings, to everyone's expectations, Russia won the majority of the first batch of places, a full two million people!
Yes, one-fifth of the population of the first batch of allocable places, you know, in addition to the five hooligans, there are more than 30 countries involved in the construction, and this 10 million people also need to be allocated to relatives of the reincarnation army, scientists, members of the rebel organization, etc., and Russia can take two million, which is already the biggest winner, and this is related to Russia's geographical location, as well as Russia's construction buildings, work style, etc.
Although Russia is no longer one of the two hegemons of the earth countries, its heritage is incomparably deep, and it may not be as good as the economic strength of modern society, but it is better than science and technology, more abundant than materials and minerals, and more than geographical location. It is as if no matter how much Japan claims to be efficient in the use of space, it cannot be denied that Russia has built the most buildings, stored the most materials, and provided the most highly educated workers, so Russia has been given two million places.
Then the United States, country Z, France, the United Kingdom, and other countries each got some places, 10 million people sounds like a lot, but compared to the number of people in the world, 10 million people can't even lift a blister, and governments can't claim to be able to contain only 10 million people, and it's impossible to even say that there is a second batch of plans, a third batch of plans, and so on, and people will only see that 10 million people are contained in shelters, and they are abandoned, if that's the case, Then the whole world is likely to usher in the end of the world first, so there is the previous scene, that is, to announce the shelters built by the countries themselves, in fact, this is also what the countries planned before, after all, the half-plane can only accommodate a maximum of one billion people, so what about other people? Since it's all the last moment, why don't you just use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and contain the unselected people into the ordinary shelters that have been built, what if they survive? Moreover, these shelters can be used to cover the actual shelters, which also reduces the possibility of riots and so on.
And then......
The Great Retreat Program Begins!
