The number of meteorites that hit the island was indeed small, but without exception, they all landed near the volcano. The huge shock wave caused the originally dormant volcano to erupt immediately, and the hot magma spread from the crater to all directions, killing everyone along the way.

biology.

The crowd screamed and hid in the building, and some took their families and children and ran desperately towards the seaside. But soon, the burning volcanic rocks were like anti-aircraft shells, ejected from the crater in all directions, wherever they went,

Another sad cry...

The largest meteorite landed near the waters of Yingguo, setting off a huge wave of 50 to 60 meters high, engulfing the entire eastern coastal area of ​​​​Yingguo. Countless people were swept away by the huge waves. Hundreds of thousands of people are missing, and millions are missing.

People are homeless...

But the matter was not over yet. The remaining half of the Ying Kingdom was still suffering from the meteorite rain. In the end, this island country that had been prone to earthquakes was once again triggered by a major earthquake. Tens of thousands of people were missing in the earthquake.

One hundred thousand people are homeless...

This is the country hardest hit by this meteorite rain.

Except for similar island countries, most land countries are in good condition.

Such meteorite attacks are similar to falling artillery shells or anti-aircraft guns, or even missiles, except that it is not humans who launch the shells, but the universe, which is irregular and unpredictable.

Or it may actually be possible to predict if there are rules, but it’s just not possible yet.

The only way is to escape.

After all, there are only a few people on the planet who have their own underground shelter.

Most people have gone to public shelters, and all the underground facilities are full of people. No one will find it uncomfortable to stay in the basement and be crowded with other people.

Many people huddled up on chairs with their clothes on, or spread blankets on the ground to sit or lie down to rest.

But even so, some underground shelters with incomplete facilities still failed to survive the meteorite rain. The impact of strong explosions could easily knock down the buildings and block the vents of the shelters. Some people died from the high temperature, and some died from the poison produced after burning.

Toxic gas.

After three days and three nights, 80% of the countries on the planet were hit by meteorites, and 30% of the cities in these countries were completely shut down and became dead cities.

When You Qi took You Xi and Tang Yatong into the air-raid shelter for refuge, she never thought that they would stay underground for so long.

Around ten o'clock that night, two explosions were heard above them, one was heavier, and it sounded like something near their heads had been blown apart.

The other was a lighter, dull roar, coming from a distance. Along with this roar, there was a slight tremor on the ground.

It was an earthquake, but it wasn't serious. It stopped within a minute or two, and the shaking wasn't too strong.

None of the three people slept, even though they knew that this underground refuge space was built during the Cold War in accordance with the rules of avoiding missiles. It not only had two thick titanium alloy airtight doors, but also installed poison filtration and ventilation facilities, and it was twelve or three meters deep underground.

, which is about four underground floors equivalent to a normal floor.

It may be difficult to protect against nuclear bombs or ground-penetrating bombs, but there is no need to worry about explosions below the magnitude of missiles and the shock waves generated by the explosions.

But we know that being able to prevent and having fear in the face of disaster are two different things.

It's like walking on a glass plank in the air hundreds of meters high. You know it's safe, but when you look at the abyss below, you always feel that the glass under your feet will break at the next moment and people will fall into the abyss.

What is scary is never death itself, but the various messages sent by the brain when death approaches: nervousness, fear, and panic.

The three of them sat on the same sofa, Tang Yatong and You Qi leaned against each other, and You Xi was hugged tightly by You Qi.

Among the three people, You Xi was probably the least nervous one, but You Qi hugged her tightly without any explanation, stroking her hair and patting her back gently.

There was a familiar scent to her in the other person's arms. You Qi in this world was more like Fan Qi than You Mu in the zombie world. You Xi relaxed herself, buried herself in her arms, and gently closed her eyes.

On the first night, the meteorite channel on the TV was temporarily shut down. First, the host panicked and said that he wanted to move underground. Then, a 20-minute warning sound appeared on the TV screen to avoid meteorites, with subtitles scrolling throughout the screen.

Immediately afterwards, the TV cameras began to switch to surveillance cameras in major cities across the M region. Each city lasted about ten minutes. Because most of the surveillance cameras selected were wide-angle lenses with relatively high positions, it was impossible to capture the situation of the people in the city clearly.

It was so clear before, but this kind of vision is enough for people watching TV to grasp the meteorite disaster situation in several big cities at the first time.

In some cities, there are so many meteorites that the surveillance cameras were smashed not long after the footage appeared. There are also some lucky cities where the cameras always remain standing...

In the early morning of the next day, Youqi was inspired by the TV station's broadcast of city surveillance cameras. She remembered that after she bought the villa, because the location was too remote, in order to improve security, she installed surveillance cameras everywhere inside and outside the villa.

Every room in the villa and the front and rear courtyards are within the monitoring range. The villa is also equipped with a backup generator. Even if there is a power outage, the camera can still operate and transmit the outside footage in time.

She took action immediately, turned on her desktop computer, started logging in to the page, and connected to the camera screen.

After You Xi and Tang Yatong knew what she was going to do, they immediately lost their sleepiness. They each dragged a chair to the left and sat next to her to watch her busy.

Youqi's minor major in college is computer science because she believes that computers may completely replace today's traditional television news media broadcasts in the future, allowing information to enter a faster and more convenient dissemination channel.

Because it had not been used for a long time, You Qi spent a lot of time and finally successfully brought up the monitoring screen.

The cameras outside the villa are all placed in matching protective covers under the eaves. Generally, violent storms, rain and hail will not affect their use, but the lens will be a little blurry over time if it is covered with dust.

You Qi adjusted it a few times, turned the camera, and the scenes around the villa came into the picture. The countryside was dark in the early morning, and the end of the eastern horizon was burning with firelight - that was the direction of the small town of Ruhr.

There was also a fire near the villa. The fire started at the fence in the front yard near the driveway. It was obvious that it had been hit by a meteorite not long ago, and the fire should have been burning for a while.

Fortunately, the yard in front of the villa is very large, and the fire beside the fence did not spread to the villa. It has now burned out the fence and the nearby lawn, and is almost extinguished.

The three of them didn't know when the meteorite rain would stop. After discussion, they decided to stay in the air-raid shelter. The surveillance cameras were turned on 24 hours a day and they continued to learn about the situation outside through the news.

As a result, this stay lasted for three days and three nights.

Although no more meteorites appeared nearby, the world outside was still in chaos.

By late at night on the third day, experts finally announced that all fragments of the 20332hkf constellation had disappeared (landed on the planet or burned up during the landing process), and both the meteorite shower and the meteor shower had stopped.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the state issued a meteorite disaster cessation notice on television, radio, and the Internet.

In areas that had experienced meteorite rain, the survivors carefully walked out of the basement where they had been hiding for three days, and discovered that the world had changed drastically.

The originally blue sky was turned into light red by the flames burning everywhere on the ground.

Houses collapsed, trees were charred, roads were destroyed, and the thick smoke and dust in the air made it difficult to breathe. In just three days, the peaceful world they were familiar with was gone forever.

On the ground, there were broken and collapsed buildings and charred corpses everywhere.

Some people were injured, some were left permanently disabled...

Many people lost their families in this disaster, bad news came frequently, people cried and howled, and no one would regard the meteorite disaster as a joke.

This is a bombing attack more terrifying than a world war, because there is no absolutely safe place, and there is no hope of a ceasefire after surrender.

Disaster-stricken countries across the planet have entered into lengthy post-disaster relief and reconstruction efforts.

But what they don't know is that the building being repaired now will be invaded and damaged again in the near future.

This is the fifth day after the meteorite rain stopped. In these days, they would go out of the air raid shelter during the day and move around inside the villa.

In the morning, they would watch the news and do regular physical training at You Xi's suggestion. At noon, they would make some food together. You Qi also learned a few good dishes.

In the afternoon, they would drink some coffee or English tea, eat some cakes and chocolate chip cookies, and then play cards and backgammon together.

Although the situation outside was tense, You Qi and Tang Yatong felt the relaxation and freedom they had not seen for a long time. They did not have to go to work, there was no endless work to do, and there were no endless cocktail parties. It was like returning to their original nature and returning to the pastoral life.

For safety reasons at night, they would still lock all the doors and windows and go back to the air raid shelter to rest.

This villa area was relatively lucky. The nearby town of Ruhr encountered a large meteorite on the first night, and the exploding debris burned half of the town. Fortunately, half of the people hid in the air-raid shelter at that time, and the remaining

The lower half is hiding in the basement of the home.

Those who hid in air-raid shelters were safe and sound, but some of those who hid in basements eventually died trapped inside because the houses above collapsed and burned without anyone to rescue them.

After relaxing for a few days, You Xi asked You Qi to stay in the air raid shelter while he drove to the town with Tang Yatong to check on the situation in the town.

The town is in such chaos that the mayor has been requesting external rescue. Many medical supplies in the town are beginning to be out of supply.

The meteorite also destroyed the town's power supply, and emergency repairs have been ongoing in the past few days. However, there are insufficient manpower and insufficient supplies. It has been several days, and the emergency repair operations are still progressing slowly.

In comparison, the situation in the villa area is much better. The water and electricity nearby have not been cut off. The only trouble is the lack of supplies, because the town that was originally able to replenish supplies now has too much to take care of itself.

Most supermarkets are closed, and the few remaining private grocery stores are charging sky-high prices for supplies and water.

It's just that no one cares about it at this time. After all, I'm thankful that I can still buy food and drink.

When You Xi and Tang Yatong left the town, they saw several cars driving out of the town. It was unclear whether they were original residents of the town or tourists. There were several pieces of luggage tied to the roofs of the cars. When they reached the fork in the road,

Some face north, some face east, and some go west in the same direction as them.

As we all know, the southern region of country M was hardest hit by the disaster, and those who sought refuge were all heading north.

The two passed by a self-service gas station, and Tang Yatong stopped the car without You Xi's reminder. They were driving an SUV, and she motioned to You Xi to fill the trunk with portable oil barrels, then got out of the car to refuel.

You Xi finished filling up the car (fuel space) and then refilled the can (fuel space). After the last refueling car drove away, he immediately increased the speed of refueling. In the end, he not only maxed out the credit card You Qi applied for himself, but also used

Exploited the credit card Tang Yatong gave her...

In fact, they have cash and deposit cards with them, but in this situation, they all think that they can max out their credit cards first. In addition, both You Qi and Tang Yatong like to hoard gold to preserve its value.

After all, they are not from country M. For them, only gold, a precious metal that is circulated all over the planet, can maintain its value, so the money in their deposit cards is not much, and the apartment in city L is rented rather than bought.

They also plan to find an opportunity to withdraw all the remaining money in the card later.

And You Qi took advantage of the two of them to go to town and used online chat tools to contact their old classmates in China.

The other party stated that China was not the first country to suffer from meteorite rain, so it had a lot of time to prepare in the early stage, and the national cooperation was quite high. Therefore, except for a few remote areas where communication was really inconvenient and a few individuals or small groups who did not obey orders,

The vast majority of people took shelter in air-raid shelters in cities, towns, and rural areas before the meteorite rain came.

Most cities in the country already have many air-raid shelters. In the face of disasters, the state machinery operates quickly, and supplies of water, water and medical supplies are in place.
