Chapter 3: The Day of Calamity
At 8 o'clock in the morning on June 7, 2020, people were rushing to work on the bus, subway, and intercity trains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the carriage, hiccups, whining, farting, and noisy voices are endless, and the whole carriage is filled with mixed and unpleasant smells, and everyone is complaining about the same sentence in their hearts at this time, can there be fewer people?
On the highway, the traffic is like a dragon, honking everywhere, but the long queue of traffic is just moving slowly, the driver knocks on the steering wheel, looks at the time from time to time, calculates the possibility of being late, and can't stop cursing in his mouth, can there be fewer cars?
Who would have thought that their complaints would come true today.
At 8:50 a.m., without warning, a huge white whirlpool with a diameter of two kilometers suddenly opened up in space about 9,000 kilometers from the earth.
The meteorite has a diameter of more than one kilometer, and when it flies out of the whirlpool, the speed is about 30,000 kilometers per hour, but after accelerating at a distance of only 5,000 kilometers, it has reached 80,000 kilometers per hour when it enters the atmosphere.
At such a close distance, at such a fast speed, no country could react, and in just a few minutes, four burning meteorites had passed through the atmosphere and fallen into the four oceans.
Many people saw the meteorite flying down from the sky, but no one paid attention to it, or no one expected that the disaster would come so suddenly.
In the Pacific Ocean, the fall of a huge meteorite did not stir up huge waves, the sea first collapsed into a huge crater with a diameter of about 10 kilometers, and with the influx of a large amount of seawater around it, the huge crater quickly sank at a speed of 30 meters per second, and formed a whirlpool.
If someone were to stand in the air and look down at this time, they would definitely be shocked by this huge pitch-black bottomless pit, which can definitely be called the world's greatest spectacle.
The whirlpool is spinning faster and faster, a large number of sea creatures are stirred into debris, and the crater is sinking at a rate of 80 meters per second, and if it continues like this, no one knows if it will penetrate the earth.
After about three minutes, the water finally stopped sinking, and it was so dark that the world's most advanced observers could not peek into the bottom of the whirlpool, but in terms of time and subsidence speed, it was at least 10,000 meters deep, and the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean was only 12,000 kilometers.
A deafening low "buzzing ......" resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the huge whirlpool stopped spinning, and a huge amount of seawater filled the pit like the sky was cracking.
In less than a minute, the 10,000-meter-deep crater was filled, but the surrounding sea water continued to surge, and the sea level in a radius of hundreds of kilometers began to rise rapidly.
Ten meters, fifty meters...... 100 meters, 500 meters...... The sea water hit the bottom of the sea from a height of 10,000 meters, and then the force of the shock accelerated the rise of the sea level, 1,200 meters, the sea surface stopped, at this time, under the sea surface of the billions of tons of sea water under the mutual squeezing, a force beyond nature gushed out of the sea again, the sea level that had just stopped rising suddenly climbed again, and finally stopped at a height of 1,500 meters.
......The rushing sea began to recede, and the 1,500-meter-high slope was dispersed to form a huge ripple that swept away, no, it was no longer a ripple, but a tsunami.
Far away on the sea, a group of Nimis-class aircraft carriers was moving normally, and the captain was sitting in the control room, smoking a pipe leisurely and looking at the data on the screen.
Suddenly, the sirens sounded, the entire control room flashed red, everyone's faces changed drastically, and the captain stood up from his chair. "Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
"It's a tsunami warning ......," an officer sitting in front of the instrument quickly tapped the touch keyboard, his voice trembling a little.
"It's just a tsunami, what's the panic!" the captain sat down again, shoved his pipe back into his mouth, and took a casual puff. "With a length of 450 meters and a displacement of 200 million tons, will the Aegis aircraft carrier, known as the giant of the seas, be afraid of a tsunami?
After more than ten seconds, no one answered, and the captain looked dissatisfied at the officer who had just answered. "Didn't you hear me, Captain?"
The officer shuddered and turned slowly, looking at the captain with a look of horror on his face. "Yes...... Five hundred...... Fifty meters ......"
"But five hundred and fifty...... What do you say?" the pipe fell from his mouth, slammed the ground, and rolled to the side after a few beats. The captain, who usually regarded it as life, stood in front of his chair like a stone sculpture, staring out the window with a blank gaze.
All the officers in the control room followed the captain's gaze with the same expression of disbelief on their faces.
In the extreme distance, a white wall of water that seems to connect heaven and earth, and boundless, is slowly pushing, seemingly slow, only a few breaths of time, the wall of water has blocked the sun, white has also turned black, and the huge aircraft carrier began to tilt.
The sky is the sea, the sea is the sky, at this moment the sky is the sea, the sea is the sky!
"The end of the world, the end of the world has finally come......" The captain kept repeating this sentence as he stood in the control room, which had been plunged into darkness, looking at the black waves that were overwhelming the sky......
The sea giant turned into a leaf, disappeared without even stirring up the waves, and even the waves of the sky and the earth were like hungry beasts, swallowing a dozen warships without even burping, and continued to pounce forward.
At the same moment, the Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans staged the same scene, and countless seawater surged onto land, like a huge brush, brushing the entire earth fiercely.
Ten hours later, the sea receded, and the earth was plunged into darkness, with death everywhere and ruins everywhere.
No one complains about the number of people, no one worries about being late for work, countless people have died, hundreds of countries have disappeared from the face of the earth, and powerful human technology is like a papier-mâché window in the face of the tsunami, which cannot defend mankind at all, and only luck really allows mankind to survive.
Humanity did not perish, it was luck that saved them, the survival rate of one percent made the world's 10 billion population directly reduced to less than 100 million, and in the following three hundred years of development, the remaining human beings regrouped together and established four major cities, Hope City, Rebirth City, Nirvana City and Noah City. After 300 years of development, the population has finally increased to 600 million.
But the disaster did not go away, in the first hundred years, that is, the day the sea receded, several never-before-seen marine insects and beasts appeared in the four oceans, they had the advantages of the zerg, the hard shell, and the huge number. It also has the advantages of the beasts, tall body drive, and great strength. Known as the first generation of insect beasts!
These insects and beasts are like locusts that occupy all the sea areas in a very short period of time, and fortunately they cannot leave the sea, so the humans living on land are safe for the time being.
But when the second hundred years came, new types of insects appeared, and they could survive not only in the water, but also on land. They are large and extremely vigorous, and they will not die immediately except for the complete destruction of their heads and internal organs, even if their bodies are blown into honeycombs. They are the second generation of insect beasts!
It was during this time that the human beings scattered in various parts of the earth were gathered in the seven major cities, each of which was protected by a hundred-meter-high steel Great Wall, coupled with the defense of the army, to finally stop the insects and beasts outside.
The 100-meter steel city wall has just been built, and human beings have not had time to breathe, the third hundred years are coming, the third generation of insects and beasts appear, this time the insects and beasts not only have the ability to live on land and sea, but also have the ability to fly, although their number is not as large as the number of the first and second generations, but the air superiority makes them more mobile, and when humans react, the three cities closest to the ocean have become a paradise for insects and beasts.
Skynet is erected, like a giant bowl upside down in the sky above each city, usually not visible to their existence, but as long as an object more than 50 centimeters enters the city 200 meters above the city, it will be hit by a 10,000-volt current.
In the first month after the construction of Skynet, every day or night, the citizens living in the city would see scenes of aerial wonders, one by one from one meter to three meters of various insects and beasts wailing in the air, more than a dozen arm-thick blue arcs passed through the bodies of these insects and beasts, until they were hit into pieces less than 50 centimeters before stopping.
A month later, there were no more three generations of insects and beasts to send them to death, so people deduced that although the intelligence of these insects and beasts was not high, they must have been commanded by a leader with high intelligence. In view of the fact that all the insects and beasts emerged from the ocean, and then thought of the four meteorites that fell on the bottom of the four oceans, it can already be deduced that the culprits of all this are at the bottom of the four oceans.
It is one thing to deduce one thing, and it is another thing to exterminate it, Mo said that human beings have lost control of all sea areas in the first hundred years, even if they return to the day of the disaster, there is still no way to deal with the "meteorite" hidden at a depth of 10,000 meters, not to mention that the ocean has long been the home of insects and beasts.
Although the four major cities have been saved, no one knows if there will be a fourth-generation insect beast, a fifth-generation insect beast, and a sixth-generation insect beast...... Appear.
The crisis of the extinction of mankind is still looming, and before the fourth hundred years come, an even greater crisis has emerged, water!
Every city wraps itself around itself like an egg, and while the people who live in the city are safe, the egg is like a cage that traps humanity itself.
600 million people live in cities of less than 6 million square kilometers, and the high density of population has made water sources begin to exceed demand.
At this time, human beings found that ordinary soldiers could also fight against insects and beasts with various fortifications, but when they left these fortifications and faced insects and beasts, it was no different from sending them to death, often sacrificing dozens of soldiers to kill a worm beast, and the mortality rate was as high as twenty-seven to one.
And there is a kind of people who can ignore this mortality rate, they have a unified title, warrior!
