Chapter 1473: Surviving the Doomsday 8
Jack suddenly understood that although six people could still sit there and could hold Casey on his lap, this would consume a lot of fuel and slow down the speed of the car.
Moreover, there were three adult men on the other side, while here there was only one man plus two women and children, so there was a huge disparity in strength.
In a critical situation, if you encounter a group that is weaker than your own, as long as you have a little evil thought, you will most likely take action.
No one can withstand accidents, not even a little bit.
Jack leaned back in his chair and fell asleep peacefully. Don't worry, this woman is more realistic than anyone else.
Xining followed the navigation and the signs next to the highway and drove in the direction of Eugene.
Eugene was not too far away, and we were on the road into the city. The road out of the city was relatively congested, but the road in was empty.
Fortunately, where the body owner lives, the population is not too large. If he lived in New York, the roads would be blocked, and he would probably have to wait to die.
This is a city close to the west coast. The scenery is quite good, but now Xi Ning has no time to enjoy the scenery along the way. Moreover, looking down from the winding mountain road, the city seems to have just been hit by a wave of debris. In many places, high-rise buildings are incomplete and the same is true for buildings, which are still burning.
There was a policeman in front of me, signaling to stop.
Xining stopped the car and rolled down the window: "What's the matter, officer?"
The policeman looked at Jack, who was woken up next to him, and Kathy, who was eating bread in the back seat, and then said to her: "The road ahead is damaged. It's better not to go into the city unless it's urgent."
Xining asked: "The airport was not destroyed, right?"
"No!" the policeman replied.
There is hope if it is not destroyed. Xining made up an excuse: "I came from Washington and wanted to take a plane to meet my child's grandfather. But the airport there was destroyed. I heard that the Eugene Airport was still usable, so I came here. .”
Xining looked ahead: "There seems to be no bridge ahead, as long as the road can pass."
Suddenly someone screamed, and white traces appeared in the sky again, just like a long white tail trailing behind the plane. But it was not a plane, but comet fragments.
When the comet is outside the Earth, it collides with other stars in its path. It keeps colliding, changes its route, and heads towards the Earth.
People got out of their cars one after another and stared dumbly at the burning debris, which fell on this beautiful coastal city. Then amid the screams, debris smashed into the city like an airstrike.
At this time, Xining was as scared and frightened as everyone else.
This is just the previous wave. The comet is currently in space, has completed its last wave of collisions with other stars, and is rushing towards the earth.
The largest one is enough to blast out a giant crater on the earth that is more than 180 kilometers away and exceeds the Popigai crater.
The ones before and now are just surface fragments worn away by comets after being hit.
But she did not panic. Any living being would be afraid of death and there was no need to be ashamed of it. But in order to survive and complete the mission, one shouldn't cry loudly in fear like the people next to them.
When this wave was over, she asked the police: "Is the airport not destroyed now?"
The shocked policeman took several seconds to come to his senses: "It shouldn't be there yet, the airport is over there."
While he was pointing far away, Xining got into the car, closed the door, and started the car.
Jack in the car turned on the radio, and various news about comets were played.
"... was attacked, the whole city was destroyed, an estimated 200,000 people were killed and 400,000 were missing..."
Jack changed the channel: "This is a message from the space station. It is estimated that within three hours, there will be about tens of thousands of comet fragments..."
Turning over, every channel is about comets, and none of them are good news. Although some big countries use missiles to intercept, there are too many fragments, and most of the fragments are not large, so they cannot stop it at all. If it can be stopped, then natural disasters like hail can also be solved.
Driving into the city, the ground was covered with rubble and shards of glass, and from time to time you could see bodies lying on the roadside.
Xining had to slow down and go around too many obstacles, including fallen telephone poles, buildings smashed down by large debris, and abandoned cars parked on the road.
All the shops were basically smashed, smashed, and looted. In the apocalypse, these people did not think about how to escape, but they held on to small profits. The things they robbed were their own, hoping that the apocalypse would not come.
Casey cried: "Mommy, are we going to die?" She held the unfinished bread in her little hand and cried so sadly.
No matter how young she was, she still knew death.
Xining comforted: "Baby, mommy and daddy will always be with you. Don't worry, isn't mommy taking the baby on a plane now?"
"But... didn't the plane also fall?" The fire in the sky will definitely remain deeply in this little guy's mind.
Xining was speechless for a moment. If he really wanted to die, it would be better to sit on the plane and die more happily.
Jack turned around: "Baby, are you thirsty? How about a bottle of Coke?"
Casey cried and nodded.
"Where can I find Coke now?" Xining rolled his eyes.
Jack raised his head and said, "There are some in the store outside."
Xining sat in the car, feeling very worried. He waited until Jack rushed out of the nearby store and got into the car before he breathed a sigh of relief.
That store was also being robbed, and people came in and out from time to time, including men, women, and children.
Xining started the vehicle and left quickly. She was just worried that something might happen to her while she was parked, and something might happen to Jack. After all, she finally got a father, so she couldn't just lose it like this.
Jack put the three bottles of Coke in his hand on his lap, picked up one of them, wiped the dust on it, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Casey behind him.
"Thank you... thank you." Casey took the coke with sobs and drank it, as if his mood had calmed down a lot.
"In the future, unless absolutely necessary, don't do such dangerous things." Xining was a little annoyed. She didn't like the feeling of worry and fear.
"Okay, honey!" He opened a bottle of Coke and handed it to her.
This guy actually started using "honey" too, and he said it just like her, without changing his face or beating his heart.
She took the Coke with one hand and took a sip. It is absolutely true that sweet things can have a soothing effect. It seems that after drinking it, the anger has dissipated a lot.
Xining turned his head and discovered something: "What's the matter with the injury on the eyebrow?"
Jack, who was drinking a Coke, pulled up the rearview mirror in the cab and looked at it. There was a gash on the edge of his eyebrow bone, which was left after a heavy blow.
"Oh, it's nothing. After we went in, all the Cokes were robbed, and I robbed someone else's." Seeing her glare, Jack quickly explained: "And he also robbed someone else's."
Xining rolled his eyes: "Since you want to rob, why don't you grab more?" He was really capable when he robbed someone from the robbery and was injured.
Jack seemed to be suppressing a smile: "I wanted to, but he just grabbed three bottles."
"Okay!" Xining took a few more gulps. I don’t know if there will be another bottle of Coke after I finish drinking it.
