Chapter 72: The Significance of 072 Natural Disasters
Chapter 72 072 The meaning of natural disasters
In her precognitive dream, when City S experienced an extremely hot natural disaster, the temperature rose very quickly. More than 40 degrees was considered cool, and it usually started at 50 degrees. Many plastic products outdoors looked distorted by the sun.
It is deformed and the surface water evaporates and dries up. Things with engines cannot be driven at all. They are too hot and smoke when turned on.
Under such conditions, civil aircraft had long been grounded and it was difficult to take off and land, and cars could not be driven. During that time, the main method of long-distance transportation of supplies was sea transportation, with a small amount of nighttime airdrops of emergency supplies. Although the temperature at sea level was high, there was still seawater
It can effectively disperse heat, and various ships transport various materials from the sea to supply coastal cities.
However, now, the temperature outside seems to be lower than she knew, or it is warming up slowly, giving humans more time to save themselves.
Is this a reward for ending the natural disaster early?
Qi Qing couldn't help but be a little shaken. If the key to ending the natural disaster early is to actively eliminate 50% of the selected people, it will not only reduce the time for more ordinary people to suffer, but also make subsequent natural disasters slower and gentler.
, then will the concept that Clover insists on be correct?
She asked 799 in her mind: "Are we entering an extreme heat disaster now?"
799 answered in a standard unemotional mechanical voice: [We are now entering the buffering stage of an extreme heat disaster, and there are still 26 days left until it enters the formal stage.]
She asked again: "So, is this the reward we get for ending the natural disaster early?"
799 Answer: [Yes, after the last natural disaster ended early, there will be a relatively stable period before the next natural disaster arrives, but the external environment will be closer to the next natural disaster, which can be regarded as an early warning. Survivors
You can seize this opportunity to recuperate and build a shelter to withstand the next natural disaster.】
Qi Qing said angrily: "Why didn't you tell such an important thing in advance?"
Among them, Professor Wang and several students had the strongest requirements for communication.
Professor Wang's parents, wife and children are all far away in City T, living in a family building in T City. There is a city with centralized heating in winter. When the extreme cold came, the heating continued for nearly a month until the subsequent energy supply could not keep up.
I have endured some hardships, but I can still endure it as long as I wear more clothes without leaving home.
Qi Qing just floated this idea in her mind, and 799 had already sensed it.
Qi Qing asked seriously: "The chosen ones are more powerful than ordinary people. If more of the chosen ones survive and help ordinary people resist natural disasters, the model of ending natural disasters earlier than active elimination and killing can make human beings
Get greater benefits? Otherwise, there won’t be any more ways to end natural disasters from the second round onwards.”
[In the first round of natural disasters, there is only one way to end it early, and it has been announced as common sense to all the selected people. But starting from the second round of natural disasters, there will be more ways to end the natural disasters. The selected people will be eliminated by 100%.
Fifty is one of them. There will be other opportunities to produce new methods. There is no need to sacrifice the lives of so many selected people. When the hidden mission is triggered, someone will be enlightened.]
799 If there was an entity with an expression, he would be pleased now and replied: [Yes. The trials of natural disasters are not to allow humans to survive mediocrely, but to enable humans to be tempered and become stronger in extreme environments.
Evolution. The chosen ones are just the first group of people to awaken in the human group. One less person dies, and if the number is reduced to a certain number, it will have little significance for the overall evolution of human beings.】
After ending the conscious exchange with 799, Qi Qing's mind returned to reality. She briefly informed Mo Xun of the news she had received from 799. Mo Xun told Qi Qing not to contact Clover again using the names of those dead people. This kind of
High-risk matters should be left to professionals, who will report them to superiors for handling.
799 answered: [Yes.]
"Does Clover know?"
Qi Qing said in her heart that she was not smart enough. She had experienced so many natural disasters in her dreams. It was not until the extreme cold natural disasters in the real world passed that she realized such an important issue. Is this a four-leaf clover?
Did you think about it clearly a long time ago and then you were ruthless and selected a group of people in advance to actively eliminate them?
"If the chosen ones become sacrificers, and everyone draws lots to die in batches, will all natural disasters end faster? Is there no other way to end natural disasters?"
Qi Qing finally understood. Taking the initiative to eliminate half of the selected people is just the lowest-level opportunistic method. So did Clover really propose to eliminate half of the selected people for the purpose of "saving all sentient beings", or was it for personal gain? If Clover
If you know there are other ways to end the natural disaster and retain more selected people, will you change your current approach?
She wanted to tell Mo Xun this important news and let him consider whether to make it public. If the news was announced and Clover still followed the previous practice of blacklisting and assassinating, then she might have an ulterior motive.
Qi Qing was immediately relieved. She regarded herself as just an ordinary person, surviving the natural disaster and living a comfortable life for herself and her family. With professionals to deal with Clover, there was no need for her to get involved.
Therefore, Clover may continue to eliminate half of the chosen ones through active elimination in the next natural disasters. After all, it seems that this method has worked in the first round of natural disasters. If Clover holds all the "Chosen Ones"
"List, she might take advantage of the external environment to move around and start killing people again.
[You didn’t ask. I am only responsible for telling common sense. If you haven’t thought of it, I have no obligation to remind you.]
Everyone whispered, and what they were most concerned about was that they hoped to contact their relatives who were not around and inquire about their current situation. In the early days of the extreme cold disaster, when mobile phones could communicate, they had communicated with their relatives and knew that their relatives were still alive and had somewhere to take shelter.
, and later, when the communication was interrupted, I started to worry again.
799 said: [You do not have the authority to ask for specific information about a living person. You can choose relevant props or use corresponding abilities to get answers. ]
So that's it. She suddenly had an idea. According to the principle 799 just said, only those who take the initiative to think about this will get the corresponding prompt. So, are there many selected people who don't know that there are other ways to end it?
What about natural disasters?
Qi Qing thought for a few seconds and changed to a vague question method: "So, does the first two people who know the answer not include Clover?"
Mo Xun gathered everyone together and talked about the air-raid shelter being requisitioned by the government and about to be converted into a high-standard shelter. He also mentioned that he could communicate everyone's needs with the official person in charge, but so far no one has made a clear request. After all,
It's a favor that is the hardest to repay.
799 praised: [Yes, according to system statistics, you are the third person on the planet to get this answer. ]
If there is an extremely hot natural disaster now, Professor Wang thinks that he should take the students to find an opportunity to return to the school in T city as soon as possible. It is further north and the temperature will be slightly lower. He asked: "As the saying goes, if you move trees to death, people will live if you move them."
, if the northern area is cooler, Xiaoqing, would it be better for you to move to the north with us? "
Qi Qing hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "As people who have awakened supernatural powers, we can actually get some hints about disasters. Now is just the buffer period before the next extreme heat disaster. The temperature is already so high. When the extreme heat
The natural disaster has officially arrived, and there is a high probability that the north will not be much cooler. Especially since T city is a coastal city, it may be more susceptible to other disasters."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
