Chapter 173 Evil Man
Chapter 173 Evil Man
The dark surface world.
The heavy rain covered everything.
But in the darkness, dozens of faint yet clear spots of light brought some differences to the entire Jianghe City.
According to Su Wu's rescue plan.
To improve efficiency and save valuable transportation capacity.
The first to be dispatched were the transport vehicles and spider robots.
Priority will only be given to those shelters that have been destroyed by floods and may face desperate situations at any time.
Pull the survivors inside to the safer high ground nearby.
Then the rest of the transfer work will be handed over to the rescue teams mobilized from Jingyuan and Zhou Xiwu shelters.
Before the rescue team arrived.
Among these survivors, the lucky ones will be able to find a sheltered place to rest temporarily in a high-rise building that has not collapsed.
Those who are unlucky can only wear raincoats or plastic things and stand on the ruins in the rain.
While enduring the wet feeling of shoes and trouser legs soaked by the rain, I waited in the cold wind for the second batch of rescuers who would arrive at an unknown time.
But whether they are lucky or unlucky, they are still lucky overall.
There are also some shelters.
As the transport truck and spider robot rushed over.
It was completely filled with flood water.
The residents inside had either already become floating corpses in the water or had already escaped through the open door of the shelter.
But the outcome for those who escaped was not much better than that of the former.
In floods that average two or even three meters deep.
Without protective gear, they can easily be injured by sharp stones or metal in the water.
Then, due to the cold and the rapid decline of physical strength, one will slide into the abyss of losing consciousness.
And even if it finally holds up.
The hope of survival is still extremely slim.
In this world shrouded in heavy rain and covered with vast ocean everywhere.
Once swept out of the city ruins by the flood, it would be like entering the ocean.
There are no people anywhere, and no place to stand.
What awaits them is only a slow death from hunger and cold.
The northern urban area of Jianghe City.
At this time, except for a few isolated buildings, everything had been completely engulfed by the flood.
The water depth averages four to five meters, or even five to six meters, and the current flows turbulently.
This makes this the most dangerous place in the entire city.
"Arrived at destination."
"Within a one-kilometer radius, it is estimated that 17,000 people will be needed for assistance."
In the raging flood.
The base vehicle, with a corner vaguely visible on the water, slowly stopped.
Then its body began to expand outwards little by little, and gradually a metal building more than one story high unfolded above the water surface.
That's in resident mode.
The flight control center and firepower sentry tower are automatically assembled on the top floor of the base vehicle.
And underneath it, the two layers hidden beneath the water surface are the main body of the base vehicle.
Comes with a metal base in station mode, anchored stably in floods.
A large number of lights began to be turned on at the edge of the base.
The waters within a radius of several hundred meters were illuminated brightly.
"The nearest rescue team of three transport vehicles will arrive in the vicinity in about 7 minutes."
"There's still plenty of time."
control center.
Looking at the map, there is a light green circular area with a diameter of 2 kilometers, centered on the base vehicle.
Su Wu's anxious mood was calmed down.
With the existence of a base vehicle.
At the very least, in the most dangerous area, it is like having a stabilizing force.
Don't let the situation get to the worst point.
His rescue operation had a best start.
A few minutes later.
In the water more than 700 meters away from the base vehicle.
A Type 1 ore transport vehicle that came from afar slowly arrived at the exit of a shelter. Three spider robots were lying on the top of the transport vehicle.
Sliding his limbs, he moved closer.
Then at the exit, start building a temporary airtight cabin that covers the entire exit, similar to an airbag.
So that members inside the shelter can open the door of the shelter smoothly.
Under the raging flood waters.
Because the movement of the spider robot is often affected by water flow at different speeds.
There were deviations and errors.
The overall progress of this construction work is quite slow.
More than ten minutes passed.
It is considered completely completed.
Then, the artificial intelligence communicated through the network, signaling the shelter below to open the door.
More than a minute later.
The door of the shelter was opened carefully.
A middle-aged man climbed up the ladder from the passage below.
He looked around and his expression changed from uneasiness to surprise.
He immediately turned around and shouted downwards.
"Come up quickly."
“Help is really coming.”
After shouting.
The middle-aged man did not stay there, but turned around and went down again.
Helping the people below to drag up the packed suitcases one by one.
"Warning: Each person is not allowed to carry more than 5 kilograms of items."
Middle-aged behavior detected.
Artificial intelligence is transmitted through the external speakers on the spider robot.
Issue a warning prompt.
But the middle-aged man turned a deaf ear to it.
Still continuing to drag out luggage with other people in the shelter.
And when three minutes passed, the artificial intelligence issued the third warning.
In the airlock, there was a young woman with a rather mean look on her face who was in charge of looking after the luggage.
Seems a bit annoyed by the AI's chatter.
He yelled angrily at the spider robot in the water that was warning them through the translucent air cushion.
"Why are you rushing me?"
“How much can we take?”
"All the supplies left in the shelter belong to you."
"Don't be too greedy."
The AI did not respond.
Instead, it is after detecting and judging that the rescue target has the intention of not cooperating.
Quietly shortened the last reserved evacuation time from two minutes to half a minute.
And issued a final warning.
"The rescue time will end in 30 seconds."
"Please stand in the yellow area of the airlock immediately and wait to surface."
"Each person is not allowed to carry more than 5 kilograms of personal belongings."
Among the survivors coming out of the exit.
Some people heard the warning and felt a little uneasy.
Try to dissuade others from going first.
But the young woman who had spoken earlier refused to do it.
She rushed to the edge of the yellow zone boundary, dragging a few boxes of luggage.
Block the channel at the interface tightly.
Then he put his hands on his hips and started arguing with others like a tantrum.
"I don't care, let's go together."
"No one can leave early until we finish moving our things."
"No one."
