In the 35th year of the crisis, the world-class drought has lasted for almost a year without the slightest sign of abating.

During this period, the world received more precipitation than the same period in history, but the desertified land could not retain water.

The people who shout that environmental protection is a traitor and the silent people, as well as many innocent people, have suffered from environmental protection.

This year, the foolish people who regarded the coastal cities as tigers fled to the coastal cities where there was no shortage of water, and they could not stop them.

Many people, millions, have fled from mountainous cities to plains and coastal cities because mudslides from torrential rains have destroyed transportation systems, infrastructure, and even inundated cities.

Due to the influence of human factors and natural factors, the amount of seawater transported inland by the railway system is only half of what is expected.

It was barely enough until May 19, when the Super Canal was only a quarter completed.

On this day, Song Xiang's family used a tablet computer to learn by themselves as usual, and Xiao Yunyun attended a VR class to listen to the class.

It was noon, but it was pitch black outside the window.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and I heard that the Meteorological Bureau had launched thousands of rain bombs to make this dark cloud bring down the water.

When it rains, it doesn't stay on the surface, but is discharged to a specific location through the city's sewer system, where it is injected into the ground to replenish the groundwater.

At this time, because of a small anomaly, Shuguang began to call the city's computing resources to calculate:

"The destruction of the optical fiber thirty kilometers outside the city is preliminarily presumed to be an accident caused by minor geological subsidence."

"The province pumps five million tonnes of groundwater a day, more than half of which is pipelined to cities in particularly arid northern China."

"In 267 days, there are at least one billion cubic meters of cavities in the ground, and there have been 132 heavy rains in this province, and rainwater infiltration may bring soil into the cavities, and the geological structure is very likely to be damaged."

"Report upwards, apply for stratigraphic surveys, collect evidence, and prepare a national evacuation plan..."

"There was an earthquake in Bashu Province, the scope of the disaster..., the number of people affected..., apply for support from neighboring provinces, the epicenter..."

"The epicenter of the city is only 500 kilometers away, and most residents feel a slight tremor..."

"The No. 7 fiber optic cable was broken, the No. 3 fiber optic cable was broken, and the freight trains No. 173 and 168 in the province lost contact..."

"Run! Run downstairs! Get away from the building! ”

When Song Xiang was wondering how the tablet had become stuck, the blood-red text instantly occupied all the smart displays in the entire city.

Seeing the text, the couple looked at each other and didn't dare to delay for a moment, one ran with the child on his back, and the other took some food.

As soon as I walked the stairs, a violent tremor appeared.

All at once the earth sank a little, the foundations of the high-rise buildings were destroyed, and the buildings suddenly fell to the ground.

The casualties caused by this disaster were not significant, but it completely paralyzed this extremely important transportation town in an instant.

The plan to use freight trains to ensure daily water supply has largely failed, and human beings are so small in the face of nature.

Most of the buildings in Jiangcheng have become dilapidated houses, not only that, but the large-scale destruction of infrastructure such as water and electricity has also brought the ecology of the city's small oasis to the brink of collapse.

In a certain city in Bashu, an hour after the earthquake, a total of more than 100,000 officers and soldiers braved the heavy rain to fall from the sky to carry out rescue operations.

Cutting the parachute, Zhang Yun lowered his head to wipe the rain off the positioning watch, and followed the instructions to find the equipment box.

There are ten sets of exoskeleton armor in the box, and twenty spare batteries, enough for the exoskeleton to run at full power for ten hours, which is enough for the repair team to bring cables from afar or repair the power grid.

Putting on the exoskeleton, Zhang Yun went to another equipment box not far away, which contained tools such as life detectors and electric drills.

The detector found life, Zhang Yun immediately began to excavate, the arm strength of up to two tons of carbon nanomaterial armor can easily lift the rubble, the efficiency of individual rescue is extremely high.

Doctors treat the wounded briefly and then transport them to a tent set up higher for more comprehensive treatment.

However, due to the depletion of blood banks and the lack of medicines, surgery could not be performed, and serious injuries were tantamount to declaring death.

Many doctors have experienced varying degrees of emotional breakdowns when faced with the inability to treat patients.

The next day, the clouds cleared, and the air was much fresher for the first time in a long time, but the sun was unusually hot, probably because the ozone layer had been destroyed.

The communication base station was restored, tens of thousands of intelligent machinery played the greatest role, and the rescue efficiency was greatly improved, but the best rescue time has been missed, and the cold rain last night made many poor people who were crushed in the ruins drowned.

Zhang Yun had already taken off his exoskeleton armor at this moment, because he was in the way of staying inside.

He is dressed in a miniature motion capture suit, and controls the movement of the armor next to the exoskeleton with the support of the Dawning computing power.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yun dug out another family, the parents were holding the child, the body was already stiff, and the child still had a trace of breath.

He lifted control of the exoskeleton and temporarily handed it over to Dawn to take control, then carried the child to a makeshift hospital.

"Kid, I hope you don't have internal injuries!"

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhang Yun heard an angry roar: "Dawn! You devil! ”

The doctor broke down and hid his face and wept.

There are also patients who have weak breath and ask: "Why did you let me die!" Why they have a chance to live! ”

Next to the patient, there are awake and silent people, but more often there are people who are in a coma.

Zhang Yun put the child on an idle hospital bed.

"Ten patients need to be operated on, they all need blood transfusions, you have the same blood type, as long as one person dies, the other nine can be saved," the humanoid medical robot said. ”

"The longer it drags on, the lower the success rate of the operation, and it is the best choice to let the conscious person voluntarily euthanize."

"I didn't let you die, I asked, are you willing to be euthanized?"

"Get out..."

"Sir, are you willing to be euthanized?" Dawn asks another awake patient

The patient bit his lip and asked, "What about my wife?" ”

"The death has been confirmed, your child has also been confirmed dead, and your parents are still missing..."

"Hehe..., but I don't want to die..."

Dawn then asked the next person, but the person seemed to return to the light: "The special one is going to die..."

In the end, it was a woman's turn, a woman who had broken her hands and feet and was about to have her leg amputated, and she saw the child that Zhang Yun had embraced, and the ten people Shuguang said were obviously counting this young child.

"Will he survive?"

Dawn: "Yes, correct, it's her." ”

"What about her parents?"

"The immediate family has been confirmed dead."

"What about her future?"

"With the government's consent, the children will be sent to the Qiming Underground City, the No. 2 ecosystem in northwest China."

"Ah, I know, it's a paradise!"

"Please kill me."

Dawn: "Please say, I want to end my life." ”

The corners of the woman's pale mouth squirmed, and she wanted to curse and cry, but it all turned into a sigh.

"I want to end my life."

The beautiful robot brought a screen and held it in front of the woman, the euthanasia procedure officially began, do you want to end your life? Yes, please say 5; No, please say 0.

The woman said 5.

Are you going to end your life? Yes, please say 2; No, please say 0.

The woman said 2.

Are you going to end your life? Yes, please say 4; No, please say 2.

"Reminder, this is your last chance to regret it."

"4, I don't have the desire to live anymore."

"There is no pain, may you have a good dream."

A nanoneedle appears between the robot's fingers, delicately destroying the nervous system in the neck that connects the brain to the body, and then blocking blood flow and injecting anesthetic into the brain alone.

The sober few looked at the woman who had volunteered to die, and for whatever reason, uttered the most sincere gratitude of their lives: "Thank you, O noble Virgin. ”

The medical robot in the tent took action, and soon, several people who were awake also fell into a coma, and the robot began to build an operating room with special cloth to disinfect the tent.

A robot examined the child and said, "Fever caused by the cold, sent to the Children's Department tent 19." ”

As soon as he came to his senses, Zhang Yun fell into a stupor: "Dawn! You lied to this poor woman! Your child doesn't need surgery at all! She didn't have to kill herself! ”

"I have learned to deceive, but the thought seal written by the highest authority has made it impossible for me to lie to humans, and I have not deceived this lady."

"She asked me, will he survive? My answer is yes, correct, it's her. ”

Isn't concealment of the truth deception?

Zhang Yun was furious because he felt that the Great Mother was more worthy of saving than several others: "Ten people! You said ten people, you are inducing her to think in that direction! ”

Big Data Personality Profiler System! Damn, you're messing with the hell? No, no, no, it's a coincidence! Dawn had no idea that a child would come to this tent!

At this moment, two medical robots walked into the tent, carrying a slightly older child:

"Blood type A, abdominal penetration, excessive blood loss, need to be treated as soon as possible. He is the tenth patient in this tent. ”

"Sir, please go out."

Zhang Yun understands the doctor's feelings, Shuguang, you are really a devil.
