Don't think this is a joke.
When caught by the American police, small things can indeed be ignored with a few verbal warnings, which is similar to being criticized for spitting.
However, the police were angered and the law was strictly enforced. There was nothing wrong with being sent to the detention room.
The two came out of the Spanish-speaking community, looked at the chaos around them, and almost sighed in unison.
Luke was the first to ask, "Why are you sighing?"
Selena: "I think it's fortunate that Mom and Dad chose Shackford and honestly found a job on the ranch. Here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to get ahead! What about you?"
Luke: "It really takes too much effort to break free from this environment and become a talent. However, what I want to say is that once a riot occurs, this is probably one of the starting areas."
Selena shook her head: "We can't stop this, look at God's old man."
Luke nodded in agreement.
If there is no subsequent earthquake, these small chaos will gradually become silent like mud turned up at the bottom of a pond.
So, everything depends on the mood of God.
When he returned home at night, Luke looked at the experience points he had gained and smiled wryly: This is a big joke.
What the hell is it that the little thieves who catch and rob small shops and residents every day can earn a small thousand experience points!
Are there really that many potential criminals in Los Angeles? He also felt powerless.
When he got home, Luke didn't bother to make too much food, so he stuffed the marinated things into the oven and spread them out on the sofa.
He had plenty of energy, but his spirit was exhausted by those strange things.
Fortunately, Claire went home early and dragged him to chit chat, Luke simply told her these strange things as a joke.
Claire laughed loudly, which made Luke feel happier.
Sometimes, it's nothing to be able to bring happiness to your family and friends, and it's nothing to meet some weird things.
Luke also talked about the news that he saw today, but Claire was full of surprise: "No. Why didn't I see this news?"
Luke was stunned: "No?"
Claire shook her head resolutely, thought for a while and said, "By the way, I met a friend when I participated in the National Middle School Cheerleading Competition. She seemed to say that she was going to San Francisco. I'll ask her."
Luke: "If she is an ordinary family, she probably won't hear much news."
Claire took out her mobile phone, looked for the number, and said, "Her mother's boyfriend is the president of a big company in San Francisco, the rich one."
Luke: ... your friend's mother is so annoying!
Claire said a few words and hung up the phone: "She said she didn't hear the news. Her mother's boyfriend is going to San Francisco tomorrow, and she will fly there for vacation together. Unfortunately, I still have to get familiar with the environment in Los Angeles."
Luke could only interrupt her fantasy: "If there is no earthquake, it's okay for you to go there for a few days, but don't go now."
Claire looked serious.
She knew Luke very well, he never joked about business.
Even on April Fool's Day every year, his jokes are harmless, purely for errands.
"Should I remind her and her future stepfather not to go to San Francisco?" Claire hesitated.
It is very taboo to interfere with other people's private schedule.
But if an earthquake is really going to happen in San Francisco, will she just watch her friend go into a dangerous area
Luke raised his hand to signal, and took the tablet: "Wait for me to check the information of that person on TV at noon."
As he spoke, he quickly entered the information of Caltech and Lawrence Hayes on the tablet.
After watching it for a while, his face became serious: "The person on TV is a professor at the California Institute of Technology, who has been engaged in earthquake research. It is said that they have made some progress in earthquake prediction in recent years, and they can predict a certain amount of earthquakes to a limited extent. Minor earthquakes."
Claire thought for a while: "Then is his prediction accurate or inaccurate?"
Luke: "It's definitely not that accurate, otherwise he should be the world's top expert, and I don't need to check his information. But there is a certain probability that his words will come true."
Claire struggled: "Then should I call Black?"
Luke frowned and raised his hand again: "I'll talk to this professor."
This time, he got up and walked to the backyard, and walked back after talking for a while.
Claire: "How?"
Luke: "It's best to tell your friend not to go to San Francisco, and not to stay in high-rise buildings in Los Angeles. Well, you too. If possible, don't go into the city center and high-rise buildings these days."
Claire: "Then what the professor said is true?"
Luke shook his head: "I just asked him how confident he is in this prediction. He said that there is a 90% chance of a higher-order earthquake."
Claire was surprised: "You believe what he says?"
Luke glanced at her: "Because I said, as long as his prediction is accurate this time, whether it happens or not, I will donate a sum of money to his earthquake research project."
Claire: ... Well, money does solve a lot of problems.
There's nothing on Luke's side that needs to be notified.
I just called Ginny, told her that there might be an earthquake, and asked her to stay in a low-rise building recently.
After asking a few questions in surprise, Ginny understood that Luke's source of information was uncertain and he couldn't make a big deal of it.
It's hard to say whether it's spreading rumors to create turmoil, or kindly reminding everyone.
In many cases, the occurrence of a disaster is not as serious as knowing the consequences of the disaster in advance.
The news of the disaster spreads from ten to ten, and its severity will change from the initial one to the last one hundred or even ten thousand. Small incidents can also cause great chaos.
Among Luke's relatives in his previous life, there was one who bought iodized salt for ten years. —His family was better that time, and he could continue to buy salt after two years of eating.
Therefore, this kind of uncertain news should not be spread indiscriminately.
Claire still called her friend Blake, but judging from her expression, the result didn't seem to be very good.
Luke hugged her and comforted her: "This is just an uncertain news, as long as you do your best, that's enough."
Claire nodded depressedly, without saying a word.
But Luke continued: "If there is an earthquake, if you are sure it is safe, try to get home and don't go out."
His house is a one-story house, and there are no tall trees or power poles within tens of meters around it. It is indeed the safest place during an earthquake.
Claire was helpless: "Didn't you say it was just a speculation?"
Luke patted her on the head: "I can't control others, but I can control you, who made you my sister."
Claire couldn't argue.
At night, Luke went out for a walk again, and came back before three o'clock in the morning.
This time I went out to gain very little.
The bugs that were placed in the houses of several well-informed gangsters yesterday were fruitless, and everyone is discussing the chaos caused by today's earthquake.
However, there was very little news about the outlaws that Luke cared most about.
