Chapter 15 Emergency Transfer
Chapter 15 Emergency Transfer
That night.
The routine system refresh message appeared in Su Wu's field of vision.
【The living environment has undergone major changes.】
【Start resetting evaluation parameters. 】
[Update completed——]
[Current territory: standard personal shelter (27%), daily fixed survival points +3. ]
[Complete the construction of a standard personal shelter, survival points +20. ]
[Upgrade the shelter's air circulation system, survival points +5. ]
[Upgrade the central air conditioning of the shelter, survival points +3. ]
[Current remaining survival points: 31]
“It’s actually updated.”
Su Wu was surprised and turned his attention to the column of current territory.
The biggest change after the update is the addition of a level system for shelters. The two words "standard" and "personal" are levels. The percentage in brackets behind them is the experience bar progress.
At the same time, the emergence of the shelter level system has tripled the daily fixed income.
This is a big change.
The additional 2 survival points per day are enough to build a mini diesel excavator.
If we accumulate for a few days, we can even double the size of the engineering team.
"The focus for the future."
"We should try to improve the level of the shelter."
“I just don’t know how the specific rules are calculated.”
He stared at the shelter level on the panel with a calculating look.
Su Wu vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped some hidden mechanisms of the system.
Try digging deeper, and you might be able to gain a lot of extra survival points.
the next day.
Su Wu's good mood due to the sudden increase in survival points was broken by a sudden urgent news.
The real doomsday has come early.
"Federal Government Order No. 1."
"All continents, provinces, cities, regions, and counties should immediately stop all production and life activities on the surface and take refuge in the nearest shelter."
"Repeat, abandon all missions immediately and enter the shelter."
In just a few hours.
Each more severe mobilization warning was sent to every corner of the world through television, radio, the Internet, and all other channels that could be used for dissemination.
Jianghe City where Su Wu was located.
The city streets were originally almost empty except for official trucks.
With the mobilization order, the city became unusually lively. People could no longer care about the 50-degree heat outside, and under the urging of officials and the shrill sirens echoing over the city, they moved to the nearest shelter with their families.
Even here in Su Wu's farmhouse in the wilderness.
From time to time, you can see cars loaded with nearby villagers whizzing past on the road and rushing towards the city or shelters in the mountains.
"terrible."
"Ten minutes, just ten minutes."
"Except for some people who hid in the shelter in advance."
"Everyone within a few hundred kilometers of the Great Rift Valley of Africa died."
“That’s tens of millions of people.”
Jianghe City Doomsday Survival Preparation Group.
The armored knight spoke in a trembling voice and quickly posted several satellite photos of cities near the Great Rift Valley in Africa.
Obviously he was frightened by the tragic scene above.
Su Wu clicked on the photo and found that all the cities were surrounded by fire. But strangely, there was no sign of human activity. It was as if they were empty cities with no one in them.
"I heard that too."
"It is said that it was caused by a sudden outbreak of heat." "The temperature during that heat wave reached over 200 degrees."
“It was hell.”
The rich second-generation Zhuang Gongzi was also frightened. Immersed in a life of luxury, he realized for the first time that the only thing between him and doomsday might be the distance between the shelter and the ground.
The world outside was no longer the sunny and peaceful world he knew.
"According to the information I got."
"That wave of heat has not disappeared, and there is a high probability that it will appear on other continents in the next 24 hours."
“This is also the reason why the federal government suddenly issued an emergency notice.”
“The end is really coming.”
A group member named Ye Luoshuanghua, who rarely spoke, shared the information he got from the official website.
Between the lines, you can feel his heavy mood at the moment.
Su Wu also fell silent after watching this.
He sighed and closed the group chat, planning to observe the situation outside.
Compared to the Great Rift Valley far away in the sky, Jianghe City is more important.
However, last night, the last transport mission ended.
The medium truck has now returned to the farmyard.
It can no longer serve as a medium to provide news from the outside world.
It is not appropriate to drive it out now. Not to mention the safety issues, just competing with those people who are fleeing in the hot weather for limited road traffic resources is not in line with Su Wu's original intention.
But this doesn't bother him.
Give it some thought.
Su Wu got up and took out several boxes containing drones from a cabinet in the bedroom.
These were consumer-grade drones he had bought from shopping malls in coastal cities earlier.
The price is cheap and the video quality is good.
It comes in handy now.
Use three survival points and modify them slightly to form a fleet of drones capable of long-distance travel.
Su Wu returned to the control center and woke up the drone formation through the control console.
"Start matching."
"Successful match."
"Turn on automatic collision protection."
"Maintain a flight altitude of 1.5 meters and a speed of 0.5 meters per second."
Stare closely at the real-time images appearing on the console screen.
Su Wu carefully controlled the three drones to take off from inside the room and slowly headed towards the exit of the second underground floor of the shelter.
The temperature outside was extremely high. He didn't want to go outside to move the drone. He would rather do it remotely instead of manually.
Fortunately, with the assistance of basic artificial intelligence, accidents are unlikely to occur even in complex indoor environments.
Half a minute later.
A formation of three palm-sized drones arrived at the exit of the second underground floor.
As the last isolation door slid open to both sides, the drone formation took the spacious lifting platform, first arrived at the underground floor, and then flew out of the shelter along an upward slanting passage.
As soon as you get outside.
The difficulty of operation dropped immediately. Su Wu immediately let himself go, increasing the speed of the drone formation to the maximum and rushing straight into the sky.
Soon, most of Jianghe City came into his sight.
“There’s a fire.”
View from above.
Two or three buildings burning with blazing flames first attracted Su Wu's attention.
He zoomed in. As expected, he found no signs of fire trucks or firefighters.
In this critical period of extremely high temperature weather and at the same time when a large number of ordinary people need to evacuate, even urban fires become less important.
In other words, the authorities are powerless to deal with this and are unable to take care of these details.
