Chapter 119: Natural and Man-made Disasters
"Not long ago, we successfully established a stable communication line and got in touch with the outside world!" After the laughter ended, Wei Pingping suddenly threw a bombshell!
"You've made contact with the outside world?" Due to excessive attention, Miao Pu's voice trembled a little when he asked this.
Wei Pingping said seriously: "This is exactly what I want to tell you this time." ”
"What's going on out there? No, what's going on in Cangzhou? Miao Pu couldn't wait, a little incoherent.
Wei Pingping patted Miao Pu with her hand to signal her composure, and said in a soft tone: "It's okay, it's just that there is an outbreak of large-scale flu." ”
"Just the flu?" Miao Pu's face was full of disbelief, it was like someone told him that flies were flies in other places, but here they all became fighter jets full of ammunition and bombarded indiscriminately.
Wei Pingping shrugged, "At first, I couldn't believe it was true, but all kinds of intelligence showed that at present, this is indeed just a regional disaster, with Huangcheng as the core, and the affected area is about 9." 70,000 square kilometers. ”
"Almost half of Hebei!" Miao Pu first muttered, then frowned and asked, "That's not right!" After being affected by the disaster for so long, why did the central government and the army go? ”
"Two things were done, one, control; Second, maintain stability. As she spoke, Wei Pingping took out a marker, found a piece of paper casually, and explained while drawing.
Miao Pu was surprised to find that the affected area happened to be bounded by a series of mountain ranges, and the general shape was somewhat like a water droplet, and Huangcheng was located near the tip of the water droplet.
Wei Pingping continued to paint, continuing to explain: "This is the overall flow of the monsoon since the outbreak of the virus. This is a satellite snapshot of the trend of the 7 stages of the spread of the virus, the first stage is here, and the second stage is here......"
The picture was simple and sloppy, but it was easy to understand, and Miao Pu immediately established a macroscopic evolution process of the state of affairs in his mind as soon as he heard it. "The provincial capital and Licheng are also within the scope of the disaster, and they are all big cities with a population of more than 4 million!"
"On the first day of the outbreak of the virus in Huangcheng, the ...... beyond this line" Wei Pingping said and drew an arc about one-third of the water droplet diagram near the end, "I received the order to evacuate one by one." It was the largest evacuation in the country's history, and although many problems were exposed, it was a successful operation overall. ”
Under Miao Pu's inquiring gaze, Wei Pingping continued to explain: "The Spanish flu, from the spring of 1918 to the spring of 1920, infected 1 billion people worldwide and died 40 million, and there were about 1.7 billion people in the world at that time. This influenza, which is also influenza A, is called type A in China, and it is also global, according to statistics, so far, the number of direct deaths in the whole world has exceeded 1. 70 million, mainly concentrated in developing countries such as India, which have high population density, poor medical and sanitation conditions, and a warm and humid climate. ”
After pausing and taking a slightly sad breath, he said: "Before and after the outbreak of the virus in Huangcheng, it was also a fatal peak period of the flu. After the events that had been transformed into monsters after being killed by the initial flu and turned into the end of the Resident Evil world, riots broke out in the cities around Yellow City. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people who died or went missing due to non-viral infections such as crowding, stampedes, traffic accidents, crimes, and accidental injuries accounted for 30% of all deaths and disappearances. Although this figure includes those who have taken refuge and are still alive, it is extremely deplorable. ”
Wei Pingping paused as if digesting the impact of these words before saying: "In addition, the second outbreak of the refugee camp in Xihe Bend and Dongyuan Town has caused the loss of population to be more serious, and it is conservatively estimated that the deaths caused by non-viruses are more than half of the total population loss. ”
When Miao Pu heard this, he muttered: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, man-made disasters are far more terrible than natural disasters!" After speaking, he stared at the picture drawn by Wei Pingping that the grass could no longer be sketched, and sighed: "In the past, I always read online articles, and 9 percent of the world's population died at every turn, and I really thought so at that time." After experiencing it personally, I realized that if I killed two or three hundred monsters, it was already a river of blood, full of corpses, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, what kind of corpse and blood sea would it be...... It's really rumors and panic that kill people! ”
Wei Pingping patted Miao Pu on the shoulder at this time and said, "So, don't worry too much about the affairs of your relatives, and don't panic." ”
Miao Pu collected his feelings and asked eagerly: "Have you gotten any news from my parents?" ”
Wei Pingping shook her head, and explained to Miao Pu with a disappointed expression with a solemn expression: "Please fully understand, there is only one communication line, extremely busy, the investigation of the situation in your home is still carried out in the name of a background check of special recruits, nominally you are one of the third batch of conscripted awakened people, as for whether you are willing to really join me, I respect your wishes and ideas." ”
Miao Pu suddenly stared at Wei Pingping at this moment, as if he wanted to see a flower on Wei Pingping's face, and after a long time, he suddenly said a little tiredly: "What other choice can I have?" At the moment, only the official force can find the whereabouts of my family as soon as possible, right? I hope you're here to help me! "There are some things that Miao Pu can't help but worry about, his own abnormal situation seems to be very special, if he really sells himself to the official, it is also very likely to engage in research work.
Wei Pingping also met Miao Pu's eyes very attentively, and said sincerely: "Whether I believe it or not depends on your own judgment, I am powerless, with your ability, it should not be difficult to get out of here, if you are really unwilling to cooperate, you can kill a bloody way out, you are very good at this, aren't you?" ”
Miao Pu replied as if he was very depressed: "Where is there anyone who wants to kill every day?" Besides, my purpose is to see my loved ones, will it help me to leave here? ”
"Well, it's good if you understand. In addition, I would like to remind you that you are joining one of the largest organizations in the world, not a group of thirty or fifty like-minded people who want to wear a pair of pants, and it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. But even if there are problems and bureaucrats, there are still people who need to do things, and there are always many people who are trying to do things, please believe this. ”
Miao Pu seemed to be relieved when he heard these words: "Xie Lu, thank you!" Hello to you, I take it to heart. In addition, my grandfather has two generations of soldiers, and I have never doubted that no one in the government is doing anything! Besides, which country doesn't have a problem? Don't worry, I'll do things with peace of mind! Even if you ask me to be a white mouse, I will actively cooperate, OK? ”
Wei Pingping looked at the little man she liked a little bit, bending his paws to be a mouse, and was suddenly amused: "Where is it so miserable as you say, it seems like I want to dissect you!" ”
