Chapter XVIII
"This disaster was sudden. [Ran^Text^Library] []”
"And it's not normal."
Wu Jin swallowed his saliva, and his face turned a little pale.
"You have all experienced the scene when the disaster came, so you don't need to repeat it."
"First of all, the most abnormal are those objects that fall from the sky like huge meteorites."
"As far as I know, the country's satellite technology is already the world's leading, and a meteorite swarm of that scale, under normal circumstances, the country cannot be undetected."
"Moreover, with our country's second artillery and nuclear bomb technology, even if there are too many meteorites to be completely intercepted, it should be possible to keep the most important metropolis in a province."
"But what about the result?"
Wu Jin shook his head, bit his lower lip tightly, and his face looked a little gloomy.
"The entire capital of abundance has been smashed into ruins."
"The number of dead people may reach 10 million, or even more."
Hearing this, Luo Qi pursed her lips, and the look on her face suddenly showed sadness.
"What if the rest of China is the same as here?"
"How many people will die?"
Hearing this, Wu Jin was silent.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
"Ahem."
Zhang Chunjun covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, breaking the strange silence that permeated the air at this time.
"The living."
"More important than the dead."
Zhang Chunjun glanced at Luo Qi and turned his head to Wu Jin.
"Xiao Wu, you go on."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Wu Jin nodded.
"The capital of abundance, the people have been abundant since ancient times."
"Chengdu is really important to the western part of China, which is still desolate and backward compared to the coastal areas."
"The state will never give up this place until it is absolutely necessary."
"So, based on the current tragic situation, I can only think of two possibilities."
"First, all the coastal areas and even the whole of China are also within the scope of the catastrophe, and the Republic cannot afford to take care of Chengdu, so it has abandoned here."
"But it's unlikely, because I haven't heard about it in the near future, and I haven't observed the country's movement to move a large amount of supplies."
"Second, the meteorite-like object that fell from the sky did not come from space."
When Wu Jin said this, he felt a little bitter in his mouth.
He pursed his lips, and the eyes in his eyes flickered slightly.
"I saw those falling meteorites, wrapped in blood-colored red flames."
"In fact, we can only see the shadow of a meteorite."
"Those, maybe not meteorites at all."
"They come from the sky, from another world."
"Because they came so suddenly, the country didn't have time to react to cause such a large area of damage."
After Wu Jin finished speaking, he fell silent.
The atmosphere froze for a while, except for Wu Jin and Zhang Chunjun, the rest of the people all stared at each other.
"I said."
Luo Qi suddenly got up, took a few steps forward, raised his right hand, and patted Wu Jin's shoulder.
The depths of the eyes on his face revealed a hint of banter and helplessness.
"Old Wu, what are you thinking about all day long?"
"Have you read too many fantasy novels, what kind of gods and monsters, outer space and sky, this is going to another world."
"Do you want to say that this is because another world, which is parallel to us and originally did not interfere with each other, changed its orbit for some special reason, and just collided with our world."
"Old Wu."
Luo Qi scratched the white broken hair that was close to his forehead with the five fingers of his right hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
"Don't think that I'm going to be deceived because I read fewer books than you do."
"Like you say, the state did not transfer supplies?"
"Can't people go to it at night? Do you have to see it before you start shipping? ”
"Huh."
Luo Qi shook his head with a smile, took a few steps back, and sat back on the plastic low stool.
"Besides, if it is really an advanced civilization in outer space, there must be technology that surpasses us, and there may not be no way to avoid the observation of the Republic's satellites."
"The so-called otherworlds are too mysterious, and I think they are more like alien intelligent creatures that have mastered the technology of folding space and teleporting."
Hearing this, everyone next to the iron pot also began to think.
"Okay."
Wu Jin shrugged his shoulders, looked sideways at Zhang Chunjun, who was bowing his head and contemplating beside him, and then turned his head again.
"After all, there is so little information in our hands that the origin of the disaster is really impossible to know."
"Now, let's talk about the current situation."
"First of all, food."
"Today, there are a total of ninety-two people gathered here, and there should be more in the near future."
"We still have a little food left from the cafeteria, but I have calculated that based on the current population, even if we save again and again, it will only last until the day after tomorrow."
"On campus, there won't be too much food in stock, we have to get out of here."
"Also, drinking water."
Wu Jin turned his gaze to the crowd and looked at a middle-aged man who was half-squatting on the ground and kept his head down.
"Xu Yan, in terms of microorganisms, you are the expert."
"Tell everybody."
Hearing this, Xu Yan raised his head and sighed.
His face was a little haggard, and the wrinkles on his forehead were as obvious as those carved by a knife and axe.
"Okay."
"The filters that Wu Jin and I made improvised could only eliminate impurities and odors visible to the naked eye in the rainwater."
"But there comes a time when the rain dries up."
"Moreover, the huge objects that fell from the sky, smashed into the ashes of the air from the depths of the earth, were filled with poisonous nitrate and sulfur and many harmful elements."
"Wu Jin and I searched for a long time before we found water that could barely be purified."
"But the water in that place will soon dry up or become contaminated with toxic substances, and it will not be able to be drunk for a long time."
After speaking, Xu Yan lowered his head with a sad face, his eyes staring at the ground in front of him, and he was depressed.
Luo Qi remembered that Xu Yan was a very talkative man in the past, not only with humorous language but also open-minded temperament when giving lectures, and was deeply loved by the majority of hard-working students who struggled to survive under the pressure of Zhang Papi.
However, before the devastating end, a person's temperament has been completely changed by the disaster.
Wu Jin took Xu Yan's words and said, "So, we have to look for food and water now, and we must be careful to beware of those vicious cannibal monsters. ”
"At the end of the day, what we need now is to find a place with plenty of food and a clear source of water, and to find a strong enough force to protect it."
"Best, we can find the surviving troops stationed in Shu, and even if we can't find them, we have to go to the police station and the public security bureau in the town where weapons and ammunition have been hoarded."
"Everyone, do you agree?"
Hearing this, everyone sitting around the iron pot nodded.
"That's good."
Wu Jin raised his right hand and scratched his somewhat split hair.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at Luo Qi.
"Finally, let's talk about how this disaster will affect us and how we will change after the end of the day."
