It was four o'clock in the morning Eastern Time.

In the Big Apple, people are panicked and boiling.

At this time, more than two hours have passed since the eruption of the sulfonite volcano, and everyone is desperately trying to escape from the beautiful country, which can even be described as crazy.

The best way to escape is undoubtedly an airplane.

So far, more than 5,000 planes have taken off from the mainland of the beautiful country.

Part of the group flew east to Europa.

Some of them flew west to Bactria .

A very small number of people choose to go south.

It's just that Latin America is not a good place, there is almost a gang world there, and the official power is slightly equal to nothing, and ordinary people do not dare to step into half a step at all.

To get back to the point, those who can afford to fly are the top rich, they either own private jets, or grab charter flights early, plus they received the news as soon as possible, so the evacuation was relatively smooth.

As for the rest of the middle class, they can only fend for themselves, and in any case, the airport is empty, so they can only try their luck at the port or simply hide in the basement.

The people of the beautiful country are very keen on the "end of the world", almost every household has a shelter, and it is absolutely no problem to survive for a year or two by relying on the stockpiling of supplies.

In the main city, Scott Higgins' family just went out, the man was lucky, and the big boss had a conscience, and he actually sent a notice in the company group before boarding, so that he was informed of the news in advance.

Mrs. Higgins looked confused: "Scott, where are we going?" ”

"Go to the port first, there are a lot of ships parked in the port, there are only a few hundred thousand people in the Big Apple, if you are lucky, you should be able to buy a ticket."

"Daddy, can't you go again tomorrow morning? I have a lot of things that I haven't had time to pack! ”

The eldest daughter complained.

"The outskirts of the city are already in chaos, didn't you hear the gunshots? If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave tomorrow morning. ”

Higgins said helplessly.

The eldest son interjected: "Dad, are we going to Europa, or are we going to Daxia?" ”

"Go wherever there is a ship, get out of here first."

"Daddy, I want to go to my aunt's house."

The youngest daughter said with a milky voice.

Higgins's sister married to Daiying, and she is quite face-saving in the local area, and the two families have frequent contacts, so it must be the best choice to take refuge in her sister's family.

"Okay, let's go to my aunt's house."

Mrs. Higgins hurriedly coaxed.

After a while, the family had to get out of the car and walk because of the traffic jam, and Higgins stuffed a small leather bag into his underwear, which contained five gold bars.

Each stick is 10 ounces, which is almost 300 grams.

It was a lifesaver for their family.

In the current situation, the dollar may not work.

Fortunately, the port is not too far away, and everyone dragged their luggage for an hour, and finally saw the port, the scene was full of soldiers with loaded guns, but the order was quite orderly.

In fact, even in today's situation.

There wasn't much chaos in the whole of the main city either.

After all, if you can live in the main urban area, you are basically a middle-class person with a fortune of more than one million, and the people here are not short of money, and they are also quite literate.

After inquiry, the Higgins family soon found the "scalper", and the tickets for the regular channels had long been snapped up.

In addition, the dollar really didn't work, and scalpers only accepted gold, summer dollars and physical exchange.

As for the currencies of the countries of Europa, firstly, the plate is too small, and secondly, the exchange rate is extremely unstable, and the people of the beautiful countries do not have much reserves at all.

"Do you have a ticket? I can pay in gold. ”

Higgins couldn't wait.

"How many?"

"Five, do you have a ticket to Europa? Any country can do it. ”

The scalper gets straight to the point:

"A 40-ounce ticket, a total of 200 ounces."

"200 ounces?" Higgins tightened, "I only have 50 ounces, can I replace it with something else?" ”

The scalper nodded: "Let's take it out and take a look first!" ”

Higgins took off his watch and glanced at his wife, who immediately took out a large bag of jewelry from his bag and handed it over.

The scalper took the thing, turned around and handed it to the appraiser on the side, and in less than two minutes, the results came out.

"With these things counted, I can give you two tickets."

"Two? There are five of us in our family! ”

Mrs. Higgins was in a hurry.

Higgins was calm and tried to ask:

"Can I pay in dollars? I still have five million dollars in bearer bonds, and I can give you them all. ”

The scalper waved his hand: "We don't charge dollars." ”

"Sir, for the sake of Emperor Ping, I beg you!" Mrs. Higgins pleaded bitterly.

"And what about this?"

Higgins handed over the suitcase beside him.

The suitcase was filled with all kinds of emergency cans.

The scalper opened it and took a look: "Not enough." ”

Higgins handed over three more suitcases in quick succession.

"Anything else? These add up to just four cards. ”

Mrs. Higgins tried to hand over the last suitcase, but Higgins stopped her on the spot.

"Don't be stupid, what are we going to eat on the road without these cans?"

"But?"

Higgins waved his hand and turned to look at the scalper:

"Is there a cheaper ticket?"

This is his last bit of hope.

"I'm sorry." Huang Niu shook his head: "Go and bring a 40-ounce ticket to the UK, and a 100-ounce ticket to Daxia, I have no other options here." ”

Mrs. Higgins took the three children and knelt directly in front of the scalper.

Scalpers are very cold and unmoved.

"Four tickets, do you want to exchange them?"

Higgins nodded hurriedly and said, "Change, I want it." ”

"Honey, you ......"

"You take the children on the boat first, and I'll go home and bring two more boxes of canned food, it won't take too much time." If you don't make it, you don't have to wait for me, I'll take another passenger ferry. ”

Higgins reassured.

"Dad, shall I go back with you?"

The eldest son offered to propose.

"No, you're inexperienced, you don't even shoot the gun back, staying will only drag me down, and your mother still needs you to take care of it!"

Higgins patted his eldest son on the shoulder.

……

At the same time, on the west coast of the beautiful country.

Mr. Kevin's family of three had just boarded the ship.

Fortunately, the three did not cancel their nationality, and under the arrangement of the Daxia Consulate, they successfully became the first batch of evacuees.

San Francisco is too close to the sulfonite volcano.

In less than an hour, the ash covered the entire West Coast, and the plane could not take off at all, otherwise it would have been easier to fly.

"Danica, I'm sorry!"

Mr. Kevin felt a deep sense of frustration.

Danica held her daughter with one hand and her lover's arm with the other: "It's okay, we can survive such a big earthquake, we are already favored by Emperor Ping, and we can't be too greedy." ”

In fact, before the eruption, there were several earthquakes one after another, some large and some small.

It was by relying on these early warnings, coupled with the constant reminders of the consulate, that the family of three escaped death.

"Alas, it's all my fault, we shouldn't have come to the beautiful country, and I lost more than 200 million."

"Honey, I don't blame you for this, who would have thought that such an accident would happen?"

Mr. Kevin remorseful: "George suggested that I keep a sum of money in China, but I was too self-righteous, if I had listened to him, our family would not have fallen into the current situation." ”

"Don't be discouraged, we have hands and feet, as long as we return to Sydney, it's a big deal to start from scratch. You see that there are so many people waiting in the port, we are doubly lucky to be able to get on the ship. ”

Danica encouraged.
