Chapter 107 107. Storm is coming
On October 3, the sky was gray and drizzly.
A black van drove through the square streets, and Su Hong looked out the window.
It was obviously afternoon time, but it was dark and hazy outside. Pedestrians were walking through the drizzle holding umbrellas. The colorful umbrellas looked dim in this weather. They were hung low, covering the faces of pedestrians.
Suddenly, for some reason, pedestrians stopped one after another, umbrellas covering half of their bodies, and everyone looked up at the big screen directly above the square.
A well-dressed man sat upright in front of the podium, with a very serious expression and his mouth moving, as if he was stating an urgent notice.
The sound of rain and the car blocked his voice, making it sound like he was murmuring in his sleep.
But Su Hong knew that from this moment on, the news of the end of the world would be known to everyone.
Wei Qiang couldn't help but sigh worriedly, "I'm afraid something will happen in the next few days."
Sun Hang spoke up in a rare gesture of comfort, "If the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up. Our team is not the only undead patrolling the city."
"Besides, Li Jian of the Protz family is here, and the matter will be handled in time, so there shouldn't be any big trouble."
"I'll take you to practice shooting in a few days so I can issue you guns."
Wei Qiang asked curiously: "Does an immortal need to use a gun?"
"Of course." Sun Hang said calmly: "Immortal people are not afraid of death. What they are afraid of is disability and body pain."
"Can you imagine a scene where you only have one head left, unable to move, but still very conscious?"
"As long as you don't want to be left with just one head and be kept in a sanatorium by the Alliance, it's best not to let the enemy get close to you."
"Why bother to take action when you can solve it with a gun?"
"Some powerful Immortal Level 1 can indeed catch bullets easily, but this depends on the calamity's ability."
"Like your ignition and Su Hong's treasure hunt, even if they reach the first level of immortality, they are still mortal and vulnerable."
Wei Qiang was ashamed. He knew he was weak, but he didn't expect to be so weak.
But fortunately, he is not the only one who is a waste, and Brother Su Hong is accompanying him.
Thinking of this, Wei Qiang smiled at Su Hong, looking sympathetic.
Su Hong also smiled back.
…
The list of shelters and entry batches began to be announced the next day. Even though officials repeatedly promised that there would be no quota limit for shelters, many people at the back of the batch would inevitably panic and vent their negative emotions online.
There are still many conspiracy theories about the coming of the apocalypse on the Internet. Some people question the so-called apocalypse and even spread rumors that the police will come to arrest people and force them into shelters.
This aroused the resonance of some people. They also did not believe in the end of the world news and believed that it was a conspiracy of the official dictatorship. They called on everyone to take to the streets to protest.
In fact, if it weren't for official insistence, the Alliance wouldn't care if it could get everyone into the shelter.
When the end of the world comes, if there is one less person, the shelter will have fewer mouths to open. This is only good for shelter management, not bad.
The Alliance respects everyone's choice, and it is up to you to choose whether to live or die, but this choice cannot be instigated by others, let alone bewitched by doomsday believers.
In order to encourage people to enter the evacuation shelters on time, officials from around the world arranged for journalists from major media outlets to be dispatched one after another. The media that used to only blackmail each other turned out to be surprisingly consistent. While they exposed the world of the undead, they also popularized various apocalyptic concepts for the public.
At the same time, various AI navy troops were dispatched to issue positive public opinion guidance.
This move alleviated the anxiety of netizens, and the trend of the Internet began to change, but some people still firmly believe that this is a conspiracy.
On October 5, Su Hong originally thought that the netizens who clamored for demonstrations on the Internet last night would take action, but he walked on the street for a long time and saw no one demonstrating.
Everyone talks about conspiracy theories, but when it comes to their own life safety, there is no trace of them.
At noon, total solar eclipse. The appearance of another total solar eclipse verified the official and alliance statements.
It was supposed to be a quiet noon, but the forces lurking in the dark took action.
A strange procession began to take to the streets, using extremely inflammatory language, which quickly snowballed and expanded into thousands of people.
Because of this matter, Su Hong went to work early today.
The black van parked beside the road. Sun Hang watched the parade pass by with a calm and indifferent expression.
Wei Qiang hesitated, "Captain, don't we do something?"
Sun Hang leaned back comfortably, "It's just a bunch of rabble, these little fish and shrimps don't need us to do anything."
"Just keep an eye on them and don't let them do any destructive behavior."
In fact, Su Hong was also curious about how the officials would deal with it. After waiting in the car for a while, the crowd suddenly dispersed.
"Captain Fa, what happened?" Wei Qiang was a little confused.
Sun Hang: "No one will joke about their own shelter quota. The alliance has issued its first warning. Citizens who participate in disrupting the order of the city will be included in the shelter blacklist."
"After scaring off the speculators and vagrants who fish in troubled waters, the remaining core members will naturally be dealt with by specialized troops."
"The results of the investigation are out."
"The man behind the financing and control of this parade is named Shi Xun. He comes from an undead force that is not within the scope of alliance registration. He is probably some lucky people who accidentally obtained disaster items."
"The parade started an hour ago, and an hour later, their lair was taken away by the Alliance undead."
"You should go back first. Someone will replace you on duty tonight, so you don't have to come."
After Su Hong thanked him, he got out of the car directly.
However, this time he did not return directly to the Garden Community. Instead, he went to the mall to buy some warm winter clothing in stock.
After temporarily learning some sewing skills, Su Hong sewed thermal-insulating plush clothes on the inside and outside of the armor. After entering the simulation, he no longer had to keep turning on the glowing blazing fire to keep warm.
With his strong physique and warm clothes, he can withstand minus 20 degrees without any problem.
In this way, he solved the problem of the burning heart fire being easily exposed when glowing, and also reduced his physical consumption.
He planned to take a car in the direction of Dawn City in the simulation tonight to see if he could avoid Hanfeng and others and reach Dawn City directly.
An hour later, Su Hong got off the car on the outskirts of Sheng City, which was about dozens of kilometers away from his home. Entering the simulation here should be very close to Dawn City.
"Start simulation."
"The current disaster potential is 101/101. The disaster potential will increase as the number of times you are exposed to disasters increases. Do you want to consume 100 disaster potential points to start the simulation?"
"Tip: You have currently deviated from the initial position of the time anchor point. The farther you are from the anchor point position and the longer the anchor point time span, the easier it is for the position that appears in the simulation to deviate."
"Deviated? How far can we deviate?"
Su Hong subconsciously said yes.
"The simulation begins, good luck."
"boom!"
The torrent of time struck, and before Su Hong could react, he was violently thrown away.
The rain pattered over his head, and he floated in the dark and turbulent waves, finally understanding how wrong this deviation was.
