The area that Fang Senyan and the others arrived at was on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. Because the project was started relatively late, only five giant airships were produced here. It was supposed to be a welfare provided to the government, and they
People are placed on the boats, but the government's main plan is still on the Ark and its own copycat plan to follow China, so it doesn't pay enough attention here.
Due to Fang Senyan's misreporting of the time, the popularity of this place was not very strong. At this time, it was so deserted that except for the previously arranged staff, there were almost no ghosts to be seen... I guess.
Among the five giant airships that are ready to take off at any time, at least four have empty cabins.
Of course, at this time, only the central region of the United States and the San Andreas Fault in the west were experiencing horrific strong earthquakes, and the chain reaction affecting the West Coast in New York and Washington was much smaller. However, in any case, advanced information and the five
There are also sustained aftermath earthquakes of magnitude 6.
In addition, the terrifying volcanic ash cloud derived from the super volcano eruption in Yellowstone Park also swept over. It was really like what Charlie said, "even the lights in Washington were extinguished"! You can also imagine the panic and confusion of the people.
Therefore, in this case, it stands to reason that this place is also a place to escape. The fundamental reason for its lack of popularity is that there happened to be a terrifying ground fissure during the previous aftershocks, which blocked all three roads from Washington to here.
Cut it off! In this time of war and chaos, it is natural to make it inaccessible.
The one who presides over all affairs here is Magneto's side. This woman is ever-changing and can look like anyone. She can even copy fingerprints. A man who can marry her is really extremely lucky.
My wife doesn't bring something different every day... This woman still has respect for Sheyan, and has long been troubled by these complicated administrative matters, so she simply handed over the management rights of this base.
At this time, of course, Sheyan's starting point was still to save more people, but he remembered it very clearly. Washington and New York would next experience a strong earthquake that would even collapse the White House, and then they would be submerged by the sea.
Therefore, with the help of senior management talents like Zi, the workers continued to operate the filling device. They inflated another giant airship that had been completed but had not yet been inflated, and incorporated it into the airship formation.
Working overtime when the end of the world is in progress... Faced with such vicious demands from capitalists... These workers are definitely not happy, but their families are also on the giant airship that has taken off. They can only bite the bullet.
Perform operations.
While waiting, Sheyan also paid attention to the channels that were still broadcasting around the world and found that almost all the leaders of the countries who participated in the Ark Project had flown to Zhuoming Valley, and the two heads of state who stayed behind were from the United States.
The President and the Prime Minister of Italy, President Wilson of the United States insisted that he wanted to be with the people, while the Prime Minister of Italy stayed and prayed for a miracle to happen----------And just ten minutes ago, something strange happened,
The Prime Minister of Italy was kidnapped!
At this time, Sheyan thought of the news that the somewhat crazy Charlie was also rescued. He immediately came to the conclusion that when the end of the world comes, saving these elites who enjoy a high reputation among mankind should be
There are great benefits.
With this in mind, Fang Senyan discovered that another giant airship had been filled with enough gas, and he quickly incorporated it into the joint formation, then climbed to an altitude of a thousand meters, aimed at Washington, and slowly sailed over.
I believe that at this time, there is no need to ask the Pentagon for instructions. Instead, the bureaucrats are required to give flight permission.
At this time, the shortcomings of the giant airship were clearly revealed, that is, the moving speed was astonishingly slow, especially under headwind conditions. There were only three engines to propel this behemoth, which could reach three times an hour.
The speed of ten kilometers per hour is really exhausting.
During this voyage... a strong earthquake occurred.
A 9.4-magnitude earthquake finally struck Washington, the capital city of the United States!!
The Capitol. The 169-meter-high Washington Monument, a landmark building equivalent to China's Monument to the People's Heroes, has also collapsed. As for the Statue of Liberty, it has also collapsed.
Although the intensity of the earthquake was alarming, Fang Senyan was not worried that no one would be able to save him. The urban area of Washington has a permanent population of 500,000 people, and there were sufficient signs and enough time for people to evacuate before the strong earthquake struck.
, what he is now worried about is the chaos caused by too much population.
As the airship formation moved forward slowly, many people on the airship covered their mouths and began to cry. Looking from a bird's eye view of the earth, the continental plate beneath the entire urban area of Washington was pushed up for a section, and then was divided into two parts by the terrifying abyss crack.
There are more than a dozen scattered plates, and the seaward side has slowly sunk into it.
Under the gloomy light, it is really heart-wrenching to see this glorious and prosperous civilization built by mankind being trampled and destroyed wantonly.
Fang Senyan stood at the front of the mothership and looked down. He was very happy to see that the center of downtown Washington, the White House Plaza, was still in roughly intact condition. This area was located in a roughly
There are seven or eight square kilometers of broken plate, which means that the respectable black president of the United States is still alive, and it seems that tens of thousands of people have survived on it.
Although the lingering power of the volcanic ash cloud was still there, and veritable sleet was still falling in the sky, the hum of the giant airship engine and the bright searchlight beams still made the survivors burst into tears, shouting loudly, and even
Ignite everything around you that can be ignited.
After sailing above the White House Square, Fang Senyan asked the airship to drop the anchor, and struggled to fix the entire airship formation here, but still maintained a height of thirty meters and did not lower the ramp, because doing so would undoubtedly happen.
The unprecedented tragedy is enough to make most people lose their minds in the face of the desire to survive.
At this time, the airship began to use loudspeakers to direct people to line up and prepare for boarding in an orderly manner. At the same time, Fang Senyan and others directly pulled a rope and slid off the airship. Of course, they were immediately
People surrounded him. At Sheyan's request, he soon met the respectable black President Wilson who was with the people.
At this time, the president looked quite embarrassed. Because he had been encouraging people to save lives and rescuing the wounded, his whole body, hair, and eye sockets were covered with a lot of dust. His voice was also very hoarse. If he was patted casually, his body would rise.
There was a puff of smoke, and even the circles under his eyes were sunken. Coupled with his thick-lipped black features, he even looked funny, almost like a chimpanzee.
However, Sheyan looked at him with respect in his heart. He extended his hand to President Wilson and said:
"I'm here to help you, Mr. President, but before that, I need your help. Our time is urgent and we can't delay any longer."
President Wilson nodded and said:
"I'll do my best."
Sheyan said very rudely:
"Then let me make a long story short. Although the airship is huge, its carrying capacity is limited. We must use the precious carrying capacity as much as possible on people instead of other things! So I need to organize the survivors in the square
, not only must we board the boat in an orderly manner, but each person cannot carry items weighing more than one kilogram. This requires your prestige to convince them. As for food and tools to keep out the cold, we have prepared a lot of storage, which should be fine
To ensure people's basic survival, I must thank you for your enlightenment here."
President Wilson nodded and said:
"I'll need a megaphone, and then it shouldn't be a problem to convince them."
Sheyan then hesitated and said:
"There is another thing, a very cruel thing... The injured who cannot move are destined to be abandoned. Because of the shortage of medicine and food, our carrying capacity is limited, and there are still many healthy people waiting for us to save.
Of course, if there are injured people being cared for by their families, we will not force them to be abandoned."
The president was silent for a while and could only nod.
In the face of life and death, since people saw the hope of survival and had the mobilization of the president, they soon seemed to be in order. Most people had tears in their eyes after escaping death, but after carrying a
Regarding the limit on kilogram items, even though the penalty for violating the rules was to be deprived of the right to board the ship, many people still tried to take advantage of the law. However, after several people were shot and killed on the spot, a similar phenomenon never happened again. It is the so-called "using heavy codes in troubled times"
"It's not unreasonable.
After rescuing the survivors around the White House area, the airship formation was filled with four ships and began to take off again. President Wilson did not necessarily want to die, he just wanted to be with the people for the sake of his beliefs, so he
Logically, we boarded the mothership in the center.
He then hoped that Sheyan and the others could send the people they were carrying to a safe area, and then return to Washington to rescue them. After hearing this request, Sheyan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and then called up a 3D animation on the computer to explain to him.
:
That is, the big earthquake in the coastal city is actually a sign, which means that the second stage of the end of the world is coming. The crust of most of the earth has also begun to move, which will provide sufficient energy for the tsunami. During the formation of the tsunami,
Earthquakes will actually occur at the bottom of the ocean, so there will be a relatively calm buffer period on land. Therefore, if people are put down on a giant airship now, their only end will be to be hit by a giant over a kilometer in a few hours.
The waves swept under the water and drowned...

Wow haha, no one can guess my thoughts, but because of your enthusiasm, I will add another chapter tomorrow.
