Chapter 59: A Global Catastrophe
The Internet is full of anger and dissatisfaction, especially under the continuous coverage of the typhoon by major media outlets, and the comment section is full of angry voices. Some blame the weather for being ruthless, others criticize the lack of official action, and others complain about daily conflicts between relatives and friends. Depressed and depressed netizens vent their emotions on the keyboard, as if they can express their inner pain and helplessness through words. In such an atmosphere, everything on social media becomes heavy and oppressive, like a haze shrouded by Typhoon Phoenix.
Under the continuous typhoon weather, although the official has issued many notices, the content has hardly changed, almost all of them are to inform the public that the typhoon will last for a few days, please prepare for it. Despite the best efforts of the authorities to maintain and carry out the rescue operation, it has never overcome the natural disaster, with rising water levels, persistent heavy rains and strong winds, and various other secondary disasters that have caused further casualties.
In addition, the impact of Typhoon "Phoenix" seems to have expanded, and almost all coastal areas around the world have invariably started the season of heavy rain and wind. There are even netizens on small islands abroad who posted videos of the islands being directly submerged by the rising seawater.
[MIONA: It's terrifying, the stone that still leaked a little bit is the only foothold I just stood on, and the island I just bought sank after a few days of playing [Video .MP4]]
[Moon Bend: The typhoon has arrived here, and it has been raining heavily for a long time, and the water has risen a lot, why is it starting to rain outside]
[ABC: Upstairs, if you climb a little more in the news, you will find that this rainstorm is almost global, and it has started to rain in almost all coastal areas, and it continues.]
[You're my Yoremi: It's over, it's over, the whole world is like this, it's definitely the end of the world]
[Rice Bucket Bear: The official hasn't given a notice yet, don't spread rumors]
[Elegant Pig: It's not rumors, I also think it's like the end of the world, it's like this]
β¦β¦
After a wave of "apocalyptic theories", on May 19, it was officially stamped with a seal of confirmation.
[Dear citizens, after the judgment and analysis of experts, this abnormal weather has been confirmed as a global disaster, which has brought a serious threat to the lives and property safety of compatriots around the world.
Here, we call on the general public to attach great importance to it, strengthen their awareness of self-protection, reduce outdoor activities as much as possible, avoid going to dangerous areas, and ensure the safety of themselves and their families. At the same time, government departments at all levels will also go all out to take countermeasures to ensure that the disaster situation is effectively handled.
Citizens are asked to pay close attention to the weather forecast and government notices, take care of each other, and get through this disaster together. γ
Different from the previous notice, this notice is not issued by the municipal government, but by the highest level, and it is no longer a notice to the "Phoenix" typhoon near Shanghai, but a warning to citizens across the country.
This notice, announcing the arrival of the "end of the world", gave a blow to all those who had hope left. On the other hand, the official finally believed and paid attention to the advance letter provided by Xu Zhengyang, and in order to avoid panic and uncertainty, the content of the letter was not fully released.
This notice, in the online world that is still not completely disconnected, is like a bomb falling into a river, making the already restless water completely boil. But more people are taking action, doing everything possible to prepare supplies to deal with this global catastrophe.
The group chat messages in the unit building exploded again, cursing, mourning, pretending to be optimistic, and calling for unity......
Because Mo Liang and the others had the foreknowledge of relief, there was not much turmoil, but the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was shattered, and it was inevitable that there would be a period of depression.
Outside is still in a state of black clouds pressing the city, and under this sense of oppression, the contradictions between people seem to be stimulated and exposed. Especially when the "end of the world" is confirmed, more and more people, in order to survive, abandon moral shackles and obtain material reserves by any means.
"It's the end of the world, pay a * money." Then push down others, pick up the object and run away. What's more, direct and open robbery.
It's like a phrase in a group of units.
[4: Although the world seems to be in chaos]
It's just that the world is really in chaos, and there is no "but" that can save and prevent this natural disaster from coming.
β¦β¦
The next day, it was already May 20th, which was a good day for a lover, but now no one would have the heart to think about it. It was two weeks since the typhoon arrived, and there were heavy thunderstorms and strong winds that lasted for two weeks.
In the unit building today, the news is still exploding, but not because the end of the world was announced yesterday, but because the second floor, where people live, was flooded.
[2: It's over, the water comes up in the morning as soon as I get up, what should I do [Video .MP4]]
[15: I don't think the second floor can be lived, and the water is estimated to continue to rise]
[5:*, will there be a flood in our layer in two days, ***]
[20: Tut-tut, the disadvantages of the lower floors can be seen at this time]
[2: Is there anything upstairs that can take in our family, you can give money and things, the water is still rising here, and there is no one to live in]
Seeing this, Xie Shu thought to himself that the conflicts and contradictions in this unit building will also begin to tear through the camouflage and gradually surface.
Xie Shu ignored it, and many people didn't respond. I can't stand it on the 2nd floor.,Directly @ all the members.,Even individually@ a few people who often bubble and chat on weekdays.,The good thing is to refuse politely.,What's more,Burst foul mouth and scolded back.γ
[17: Sick?] **Blind**@δ»δΉ, but if you kid can give us 50 catties of rice and tens of thousands of yuan, Lao Tzu can consider taking you in]
[2: It's all neighbors, why are you embarrassed to ask for so much for the lion, I've been at home for so long, and I don't have much left to eat]
[17: Then you still want to live in vain? γ
[4: Don't quarrel, the more we make an appointment to help each other at this time]
[20: Yo, then you let them live in your house, we are all girls here, and we don't dare to let people live if we don't have a guarantee of safety]
[13: That is, and you live alone, and the place is big]
[4: Why is it my own business, everyone should unite together]
β¦β¦
The building has been arguing non-stop because of a borrowing problem, Xie Shu did not continue to watch them quarrel, these days at home, Xie Shu is ready to cut off the power and the network at any time, as much as possible to charge the storage box, power bank, etc., and do some other preparations.
When Xie Shu finished being busy for a while, he turned on his mobile phone to rest, and found that the borrowing problem on the 2nd floor was solved.
Xie Shu didn't see any particularly obvious behavioral characteristics on the second floor for the time being, after all, in addition to talking a lot, his speech in the unit building was useless, and it was impossible for Xie Shu to stare at the situation downstairs all day. It can only be said that the two old men on the 22nd floor have gambling elements, if the 2nd floor can maintain the moral bottom line, with gratitude, the safety and security ability of the two old people has been greatly strengthened, but in the same way, it has not yet reached the real desperate moment, and no one knows whether this is "luring the wolf into the house".
