Chapter 22
There were too many dead people. The fire continued to burn until the evening of the 10th. I realized that there was no way to extinguish it. The water plant was paralyzed and could not produce water. Therefore, the building around the accident site was demolished with a bomb and a long fire was isolated. Only then finally curbed the fire.
Those who are homeless and have lost loved ones are too late to grieve, and greater disaster is upon us.
One after another, people with high fever, exhaustion, or sudden skin festering died in the streets.
The corpses that had not been cleaned up before the disaster scene were still buried under the ruins of the fire field. This tragic scene made people completely panic. They or they blocked their windows and gates, shaking with trembling, or they were riding bicycles with them. Big bags and small bags tried to leave this once-prosperous city-but closer to death.
The people who are still alive are hiding at home, and certainly have not experienced such a terrible scene.
Therefore, when the news of the psionics appeared, not many people knew that they were more worried about thinking about what kind of disaster this is. Why did the home still have power and water off for more than ten days? It seems that the situation of the army outside is still very serious. Grim, even calm people will mutter, is the end of the world coming?
For more than ten days, they waited hard, but never saw the helicopters and trucks symbolizing rescue driving into the city. It was incredible that a capital of a large country encountered such a major disaster that it could not get it. Any foreign aid is a joke?
As long as not stupid people come to a terrible conclusion.
It’s not just City B. The whole country, no, the whole world is in chaos.
Of course they didn’t know that they were lucky. The entire city was barely called orderly, the government was intact, and the army was still alive. But not everywhere, all countries are so lucky. Those who are already at war, or that there are several parties in power in a country who share military power, no one has time to control the lives of civilians. After the plane crash was not a terrorist attack, Noisy, for a long time, a policy decision could not be made. Behind the different parties stood the chaebol and the family who supported them. The interests were shared. In the end, there was no other way than to rush into the underground fortifications to prevent nuclear strikes.
The remaining wise and brilliant presidents or government leaders want to try their best to keep their national elites and core secrets empty talk. The traffic paralysis information is cut off. The distance that can be reached by two legs is limited. They are doing everything they can to control the army. To pay all the effort for the almost chaotic situation, without any results, at most, like city B, barely maintaining the order of a region and a city.
Although there was no way to know what was going on outside because the communication was cut off, the governments of various countries knew after three days that the disaster was global. The only difference between them and the people was that they knew the cause.
“Isn’t it saying that the weakening of the geomagnetic field is a normal phenomenon of magnetic pole reversal? Why suddenly–“
In an underground base on the outskirts of city B, almost all facilities were paralyzed. Because only nuclear bomb attacks, meteorite impacts the earth, and major earthquakes were considered in the design, various systems are equipped with solar energy or nuclear power. Aircraft, but the permanent magnetic material indispensable for the meticulous instrument itself makes all the elaborate facilities for command operations and security systems vanish.
At present, the connected wind system is the ten-day rush of the Academy of Sciences. The most mechanical wind-driven device is clunky and ineffective because it cannot use precise electronic components. The air in the base is full of smoke and dust. People sitting around the long table All were clothed, their eyes were red, and their expressions were sorrowful.
The printing and copying machine cannot be used. The information in front of everyone is handwritten. In this way, ballpoint pens cannot be produced in the future. People in the Academy of Sciences have checked the classics to see what the detailed steps of ancient papermaking are. If all The machine is still unusable, so you can only use a brush to write in the future.
“Since 1900, the energy of the geomagnetic field has been steadily weakening, what have you done!”
An old man in military uniform and gray hair patted the table heavily.
Except for the simplest military items except guns, grenades, and explosives, from missiles to tanks, they have become scrap iron. The military power of the country has gone back a hundred years overnight. Guns and ammunition are made by hand, but what about the machinery and equipment used to suppress the mold? The better the details of the gun, the more precise the parts. If all of them are made by hand, even the guns in the army will be rare items. Will they return to the cold weapon era?
“Lao Zhao, calm down. There is no such thing as you can think of. The geomagnetic field has only lost 15% of its energy for more than 150 years. Who would think that in just a few days— — “The old man sitting in the first place looked tired.” Now everything has happened. It is meaningless to investigate the mistake. The first thing to do is how to make the people survive, how to restore order, food, clean drinking water. If We have all given up hope. This is the true end of the world. It is only death that greets everyone! “
“From the compass, the magnetic poles have been reversed. From the perspective of radiation, the geomagnetic field should also be stable. According to theory, all mechanical facilities should be restored, but!”
“Okay, this theory has been overturned. The latest judgment of the Academy of Sciences is that the reversal of the geomagnetic field is only the normal activity of the earth. The reason for this great damage is because of the abuse of civilization. Permanent magnet materials have been used too widely. From the aerospace instrument to the mobile phone, it allowed human civilization to develop rapidly, but destroyed everything overnight. “
“Can’t everything be restored? One year, no, ten years? Humans can make generators, and they can completely make the second one according to the current law of magnetic fields and waves. Everything will develop and become better!”
At this time, the spirit of the people in the base meeting room was shocked, but someone sighed:
“No, astronomical radiation has disappeared, but electromagnetic radiation has returned after the geomagnetic field has recovered. Although it is not fatal, the impact of the damage is huge. If the Academy of Sciences did not make a mistake in estimation, the entire earth is now shrouded in a huge In the electromagnetic storm, if lucky, it will gradually calm down after hundreds of years, and if unfortunate, it will still exist when humans extinct new creatures on the earth! “
“Damn!” General Zhao angrily said, “What is the source of the electromagnetic radiation, as long as it is not the sun, we destroy it!”
“… there is theoretical common sense before the end of the world saying, ‘As long as the object itself has a temperature greater than absolute zero, it can emit electromagnetic radiation, and there is no object on the earth with a temperature equal to or lower than absolute zero’. So everything around us Electromagnetic radiation is emitted every second, so are tables, chairs! “
“Miscellaneous accounts!” Someone slammed down the conference table again.
“Also, the appearance of the power …”
The topic was obviously extraordinarily heavy, and the atmosphere became weird at once.
“At present, under the conditions of lack of research, there is no way to determine exactly what caused the power generation. The only known conditions are those who haven’t died of radiation in the open air, age, gender, physical health or not. It is known whether astronomical radiation or violently changed electromagnetic radiation caused them to have abilities. There were only 17 abilities in City B. The types of abilities were very different. Twelve of them were military and The members of the government’s rescue effort, the whole country, should not be the world’s greatest powers. They will be the biggest destroyers of order and may rebuild the greatest wealth of civilization. “
The breathing sounded slightly in the conference room, but no one expressed any opinions on this point, so the topic finally turned to a point.
“Before the disaster, satellite monitoring took all the abnormal pictures of Antarctica, Atlantic Ocean, South China Sea …”
“this is?!”
“Yes, sea monsters. Western countries have been tirelessly researching gadgets. For more than ten years, it is difficult to have video materials other than the South China Sea. When the end of the world comes, it is really worthless.”
“Chairman, I don’t think this is strange. The acuity of animals is much higher than that of humans.”
“The problem is here. If they want to escape, they should hide in the deep ocean. The Mariana Trench is their old nest! Aren’t astronomical and electromagnetic radiations floating on the surface threatening them?”
“Also, the weather is unusually hot. City B is not near the sea. People must be sent to the Bohai Sea to watch the rising sea level. It is better not to have terrible scenes like in the movie. Human beings have no high-end weapons. These sea monsters … “
Everyone was silent, but wanted to smoke but was hindered by the inherently poor ventilation conditions, and endured the addiction and increasingly irritable emotions:
“Don’t we have any good news?”
After listening to the old man sitting in the first place, his hand rubbing his forehead stopped and a familiar and helpless smile appeared:
“Yes, for example, we are still alive! The country still exists, human beings have hope …”

27.Coincidence …
“Snapped!”
A slightly larger fish jumped out of the water and was lifted by the electric belly. Li Shao quickly caught it with his eyes, and then quickly cut off the fish head with the iron piece removed from the tin box. Under the guidance of the fish, the back of the fish was cut open. There was a small amount of fresh water in the spine of the fish, but it was only enough to moisturize the throat.
The chief mate was out of gas last night and the body was pushed into the sea. In fact, it is not just ordinary people. Amin was the first person to fall. Her tanned face was covered with sweat and her pupils had spread a little since then. Maybe she would never see the sun of tomorrow again.
As evening approaches, the light on the sea is getting darker and darker, everyone is thinking about the past and the future.
Three days ago, there was a wind on the sea, not big, but no one paddled, and the rubber boat floated westward along the wind.
After spending so many days at sea, the captain ’s Babuyan Islands may have drifted a long time ago. There should be many islands in the Pacific Ocean, but they are very strange. They have not encountered any of them.
“If it’s in the wrong direction, where might it be?” Annie’s voice was dumb like scratching glass with sandpaper.
“The east is a long coastline, the south is a lot of islands, and the small islands should also appear in the north, but if you go west …” the captain’s blood red eyes were full of hope, “As long as the wind direction remains the same, maybe we can reach Mariana Islands! There is a paradise for life, where many seabirds and animals gather to survive … “
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he even coughed and almost lost his breath.
However, it also gave a glimmer of hope to the silent people.
“Mariana Islands … how does this name sound so familiar?” Li Shao murmured to himself.
The people on their dinghy are okay. Some morning and evening have a little fresh water to moisten their throats, and they have something to eat. Unlike other people, they can’t make sounds anymore. One dinghy hasn’t moved all day. I don’t know if it’s dead or alive. There were only four remaining ten rubber boats out of the Talassa Goddess. Except for the ones that had been separated the night before, most of them were dead.
There are almost eighty survivors leaving the cruise ship, and now there are only more than twenty.
“The Mariana Islands are huge, half live, with fresh water on them …”
Before the captain had finished speaking, Li Shao interrupted him suddenly:
“You fool me, I think of it, isn’t Mariana a trench? At that time … when I was studying geography, I was carrying a long list of exhaustion, the deepest lake, the largest ocean, the highest mountain, and the lowest point on the earth. ! “
“… the trench is very long, and an island nearby is also called this name.” The captain had no energy to say something to Li Shao with round eyes. This young man is full of energy and has a lot of energy to toss this.
“Will there be no danger there?”
Annie has been disappointed too many times, and she feels that the worst is nothing more than death.
“Dangerous? Miss Ann … Do you want to say cannibals? Or is it the prehistoric dinosaur of an island?” The captain pulled his corners of his mouth weakly, and looked very weird because of the large peeling and swelling on his face. Now, apart from Africa, even the Caribbean coast has never heard of those things. It was rare to see the pirates of Malacca … “
“Really?” Anli thought suddenly, if all the machines were paralyzed, wouldn’t humans have to go back to the era of great sailing!
The captain certainly didn’t know what Annie was thinking, but just continued:
“Of course, a large island on the Mariana Islands is also home to thousands of people. In this situation, how much is still alive is a question. At least this time the Goddess Talassa set sail from passenger to We have almost two thousand crew members! If there are many psionicists there, we can avoid the island when we see it from a distance, and then go to the smaller uninhabited island … “
After listening, everyone can only be silent, after all, this may be the only way.
In the sea far away from them. & lt; br
