On the way back, there was another earthquake!
The intensity of this earthquake was seven or eight, and the entire ground was shaking violently. People fled in fear and screamed one after another.
Luo Yuan had roots under his feet and his body remained motionless. His face was solemn as he saw the falling stone powder and the cracks that kept appearing above his head!
After the self-destructive antimatter bomb was detonated, and the moon's orbit moved away, the earth's plates officially entered a period of turmoil. Volcanoes erupted frequently, and earthquakes became commonplace. They were experienced almost several times a day, and they were so small that they could not be detected. Big ones can have magnitudes of five and six, but this is the first time such a big earthquake has occurred since the disaster.
The intervals between each floor of the underground city are quite thick, seven or eight meters thick, and are extremely earthquake-resistant. However, they cannot withstand such frequent vibrations, not to mention the frequent earthquakes after the disaster, which have made the structure here somewhat loose and the isolation Between the layers, cracks are everywhere.
Twenty seconds after the earthquake occurred, the collapse finally occurred. With a muffled sound coming from an unknown place, the underground city collapsed.
Fortunately, the earthquake subsided soon, and apart from the sound of collapse, no other disasters occurred.
Luo Yuan looked ugly and did not dare to delay. He quickly rushed to the city government to organize disaster relief work.
The collapse occurred in the compartment between the fifth and sixth floors. A whole rock layer of hundreds of thousands of square meters collapsed. Fortunately, the next compartment was strong enough and was not pressed down by the falling rock layer. collapse, creating a chain effect.
In the underground city layout of Hope City, the first to fifth floors are material warehouses, the sixth to tenth floors are residential areas and slightly polluted industrial areas, and the eleventh to thirteenth are agricultural areas. After the earthquake collapsed, except for two The factory was buried outside the ruins, and a large nearby residential area also suffered a huge disaster.
Fortunately, during this period, most residents have been organized and mobilized. They are either resting in the warehouse area or have entered the factory. Those who stay at home are either the elderly or children. The number is very small, but the area affected by the disaster is huge. Finally, a rough calculation showed that the death toll was close to a thousand, and under the weight of this seven- to eight-meter-thick rock formation, there were almost no survivors!
The house leaked and it rained all night. A series of bad news made Luo Yuan very busy. His original idea of meeting Chen Xinjie in the afternoon was also given up.
A large number of people were urgently organized for disaster relief, but disaster relief was only secondary. The most important thing was to strengthen the underground structure as soon as possible to prevent another collapse.
Although all humans in Hope City will move into the spaceship in the near future, the relocation will not happen overnight. At least during the period of staying here, the stability of the underground layer must be ensured.
With the current turbulence of the earth's plates, such an earthquake will never be the last.
Throughout the afternoon, Luo Yuan and several geological experts ran around checking the weak points of each rock layer.
The innate ability of earth pulsation allows Luo Yuan to sense possible hidden dangers through the frequency difference on the ground.
Subsequently, huge stocks of steel and cement were mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of workers rushed to various places to build a large number of support columns and urgently reinforce the underground city to prepare for the next earthquake.
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, Deputy Mayor Tian Jinping, who came to report, finally gave Luo Yuan good news.
"Mayor, after the factory rushed to work, as of now, the production quantity of electric blankets has reached 500,000. If we wait until 12 o'clock, it is estimated that it can reach 650,000." Deputy Mayor Tian Jinping said cautiously, in his heart There was a moment of anxiety, and his voice was hoarse, as if it had been smoked.
Compared with the 80,000 mentioned before, the total number has increased six times, but it is still a little less. However, looking at the bloodshot eyes and blistered mouth, it is obvious that he has tried his best: "Well done, divide it first." Go down!"
"Mayor, I'm going to work first!" Faced with Luo Yuan's exaggeration, Deputy Mayor Tian Jinping was a little flattered and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said quickly.
He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Luo Yuan again. He thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, free distribution is still a bit inappropriate. It's not about scarcity but inequality. It will easily arouse public outrage. It's better to use paid limited purchases." Method, use the broadcast system to inform each household, the price can be cheaper! "
"Mayor, you are indeed far-sighted!" Tian Jinping complimented.
Luo Yuan burst into laughter: "In addition, I would like to inform you that if you persist for one more night, everyone can take a rest tomorrow!"
Now, all government workers have been without rest for several days and nights. If this continues, people will collapse.
Tian Jinping left quickly and the office became quiet again.
Luo Yuan rubbed his brows, stood up, and walked back and forth in the office. As long as tomorrow passes, Hope City's most difficult moment will be passed. The problem of food and clothing will be solved, and most of Hope City's problems will be solved.
…
Fortunately, there was no freezing to death on the second day.
Human beings are subjective and active creatures. Even if there is no electric blanket, you can still use a fire to keep warm. You can also wear all the clothes you can wear.
But after today, as more and more cold-proof products such as electric blankets are produced, people will undoubtedly feel better tonight.
The severe situation has been greatly alleviated. Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the office. He had not gone home for several days and he planned to go home today.
"mayor!"
"mayor!"
…
In the city hall, people were coming and going, making it a busy scene.
People bumped into Luo Yuan from time to time on the road, and they all greeted him excitedly.
In the past few days, Luo Yuan has taken the lead every day, which has allowed him to accumulate huge prestige, especially his great achievements in saving mankind in publicity, which has added a huge aura to him.
Even though many people were already exhausted, they were still excited when they saw Luo Yuan.
This is a huge prestige, and this phenomenon only occurs in difficult moments for mankind!
Luo Yuan walked to the hall and suddenly stopped. Everyone stood up subconsciously.
Looking at these staff who looked at him with admiration, Luo Yuan felt something: "Everyone, you have worked hard recently. We survived the alien attack tenaciously. This is not my credit, but also everyone's. Now The most difficult moment has passed, we will get better and better in the future, and now everyone who is on rotation can take a break.”
He waved to the office director who had walked out of the room because of the huge noise, and said, "Tell the cafeteria to make a richer breakfast. If you don't have high-grade meat powder, you can ask me for it!"
"Yes... yes, I will arrange it immediately." The office director said quickly.
Luo Yuan nodded and walked out of the city government building.
The bright lights illuminated the entire underground city as bright as day. Luo Yuan saw that the LED energy-saving lamps on some streets had been replaced with heating lights. The endless energy produced by the Bosians' nuclear fusion furnaces, Let Hope City no longer need to save energy at all.
Near the street where heating lamps were installed, Luo Yuan could clearly feel that the temperature was rising.
Unfortunately, the production quantity of heating lamps is limited, and priority is given to supplying agricultural areas. Only one or two streets have been installed so far. It will take time to replace them all.
After a while, Luo Yuan returned home.
Master Wang had sharp eyes. As soon as he saw Luo Yuan, he shouted in surprise: "Brother Luo is back!"
Then he ran over and hung his whole body around Luo Yuan's neck in a circle. Among the women, Wang Shishi was the most disgusting. He smiled and patted her slender back: "Okay, come down."
Wang Shishi kissed him and jumped off his body. His eyes were watery, as if he couldn't see enough.
Several women were also overjoyed, but they were much more reserved.
"Have you eaten yet?" Huang Jiahui said with a smile on her face. She was wearing a beige fur coat, which made her look several years younger, with a demure air.
The recently produced warm clothes are made of mutated animal fur. They are all of a very high grade, basically level five or above. In the past, they were all used in the manufacture of airships and piled up in warehouses. Now they are all used in the production of cold-weather clothes. , but precisely because of the high grade and tough leather, the production efficiency is extremely low, and the number is still scarce.
These clothes are basically allocated to scientific researchers who are still in Hope City. Even senior civil servants, in order to avoid affecting their image, are not allocated a piece of clothing. They can wear it because it is obviously someone's own initiative.
However, Luo Yuan is not a pedantic person. He welcomes the superior and suppresses the inferior. This is human nature and he will not change for the sake of social changes.
"No, how are you at home recently?" Luo Yuan looked at the villa. A section of the rockery in the living room was missing. It was obviously broken in yesterday's earthquake.
"It's all good. Your work is important, and you don't have to worry about your family." Huang Jiahui said knowingly.
"I heard that we are moving to the spaceship?" Zhao Yali asked.
"It's the same thing, but it will take a while. The spacecraft is being refitted now, and we may have to leave the earth by then." Luo Yuan said, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yali. She was wearing a pure cyan fur coat, lined with Her skin was as smooth as water, making her look even more delicate and delicate.
Ye Qiuyu next to her was shocked and couldn't help but screamed softly. When she came to her senses, her face turned red with embarrassment. Fortunately, everyone was shocked by the shocking news, but no one paid attention to her.
"Good luck, why do you want to leave the earth?" Wang Xiaguang asked.
Luo Yuan sighed, and then explained the reason. Everyone couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts. Since the end of the world, mankind has been in trouble, and now even the earth has to give up.
"Okay, don't think about these unhappy things. The bridge will be straight from the bow of the ship. Humanity will always have a glimmer of hope!" Then Luo Yuan asked Ye Qiuyu about Chen Jiayi's situation: "How is Chen Jiayi's recovery recently?"
Seeing Luo Yuan looking at him, Ye Qiuyu was nervous and a little at a loss as he said: "Mayor... Mayor, her condition is getting better. Now that her name is called, she has already reacted somewhat. No... But, it still needs some time."
Luo Yuan nodded silently. He knew that the pressure he put on ordinary people was not only a physical pressure, but also a psychological pressure. Even if he restrained his whole body, he still gave people a huge sense of oppression. This point Even several members of the Standing Committee of the city government were unavoidable, and the only people who were not affected were a few close people.
Then he stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
He walked into Chen Jiayi's room and sat down on the chair in front of the bed. Several women also walked in. The mutants who were already a little unfamiliar with Luo Yuan hesitated for a while and joined in the fun.
Chen Jiayi was lying quietly on the bed, looking rosy and breathing smoothly, as if she was asleep.
Luo Yuan looked silently for a while, then seemed to call out: "Jiayi, wake up, it's time to get up."
She seemed to hear the sound, and her eyes kept moving, but she seemed to be in a nightmare and couldn't open her eyes.
"There seems to be some problem with her nervous system. She can react to the outside world to a certain extent, and she seems to be able to hear our words, but cannot move." Ye Qiuyu said cautiously from the side, his fingers constantly stirring the corners of his clothes.
Luo Yuan's heart was heavy. He naturally knew the reason for this. This phenomenon was the result of being infected by his will. The imprint of his own will was expelled, causing nervous system disorder.
Luo Yuan saw her fingers move slightly and couldn't help but grab her little hand.
Her fingers were weak and weak, without any feedback of strength. Suddenly, her little hand clenched slightly, and then the strength became stronger and stronger, and her little face turned red from holding back.
"Jiayi, wake up!" Luo Yuan saw that she was showing signs of waking up. He couldn't help but feel happy and called out again quickly.
Unfortunately, it only lasted a few seconds before her hand loosened and she could no longer hold on. In just a few seconds, it seemed that all her strength had been exhausted. Then, her eyelids trembled, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks. .
Several women were a little sad, and their eyes were slightly red.
Only Ye Qiuyu and Chen Jiayi were strangers to each other and had a simple relationship between patient and doctor, so they didn't feel this way.
She glanced at Luo Yuan unexpectedly. She had performed routine recovery treatment on Chen Jiayi half an hour ago. At that time, her reaction was not so great. She suddenly thought of so many women here and the beautiful mutations that were neither human nor beasts. Man, she suddenly felt a little weak in her feet.
During this period, because Luo Yuan was often absent and so many things happened before, she had long forgotten that she had been prepared to feed the tiger before she came.
In fact, if it was just about appearance, she would not be dissatisfied with Luo Yuan.
His skin is smooth and delicate, his body is flawless, his figure is tall and tall, and he is extremely handsome. He also has a mysterious temperament about him that is enough to attract any woman.
Although the figure used to be majestic, it was still barely acceptable.
Having evolved to the level of Luo Yuan, he has already transformed in all directions. He does not have any genetic defects that ordinary people have. Even if he had them before, he can repair himself.
However, when she thought of Luo Yuan's terrifying strength, and when she heard Master Wang showing off not long ago, he told her about how he shaped a rice cooker into a red iron ball, all she could think of was endless fear. She would really die by then, really. I don’t know how those women endured it.
Luo Yuan felt something strange behind his back, and looked at Ye Qiuyu in surprise. She turned pale with fright, shook her body, and almost fainted.
