Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1001 The Beginning of the Apocalypse ([-])
Really bad news.

Although Chen Yan was mentally prepared, he still couldn't accept the serious situation of the disaster in Yanan City——

"The cold wave destroyed the city's heating pipes, so it wasn't just the downtown area that died. Even the wealthy people in the upper city area were not spared. The death and injury situation was particularly serious. From this morning to now, the siren of the ambulance has been ringing, but with How many people can be saved by the ambulance that comes for emergency treatment?"

"I don't know how many people died in this cold wave. You can see frozen people on the roadside. I don't know what's going on in those inferior corner buildings..."

"Due to a severe shortage of personnel, the city management agency is almost completely disabled. The power supply and running water are also cut off. This morning, gangs burning, killing and looting appeared on the streets again, but no officers from the street police department came. Maintain order……"

"My students... at least half of them are in good condition. They live in the dormitory of the night school. I spent some money to buy heaters and briquettes, so now they can barely keep warm..."

"We don't know how long it will take for the city to return to order. This sudden cold wave has almost destroyed everything. No one counts the death toll, and no one processes and sells food raw materials. We can't buy food. Fortunately, two classmates I brought some potatoes from home as rations, so we won’t starve for the time being..."

"Fortunately, the cold wave has passed. It seems to be related to Typhoon [Apakalops]..."

……

Listening to the bad news one after another, Chen Yan suddenly realized the reason why Principal Ned Roddy called - he didn't want to know about Chen Yan's situation, nor did he want help. He just wanted to recover after the robbery. Get spiritual comfort for the rest of your life.

"I'm prepared for this disaster."

Chen Yan said this in a calm and reliable tone:

"After the functions of the logistics center are restored, I will find a way to deliver a batch of supplies to you, or transfer a sum of money to your account as soon as possible."

"I think the city's functions will be restored soon because the typhoon has moved north. We have to be calm and everything will be fine soon."

Chen Yan didn't say anything about the subsequent development of the night school. Now was not the time to talk about those things. In fact, he had not-so-good thoughts in his mind. He thought to himself that now was just the beginning of the apocalypse, and the environment had suddenly become so bad. , when the disaster represented by the apocalypse strikes on a large scale, what kind of suffering will human society suffer?

By then, will night school be the end of it...

Who can say for sure?

Even in the end of the world, people will find ways to survive. To survive, they must work, and to work, they must receive education and acquire skills... Night schools always have their value.

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan took Swam and left the Z Group headquarters.

Under the scattered light of the sun, the ice on the streets of Area B of the Mechanical Hive has shown signs of melting. A large number of pedestrians have appeared in the streets and alleys. Residents of the Mechanical Hive who do not know the situation walked out of their houses and want to see what the Mechanical Hive has done. How damaged it was.

This is not their home, but they can't just be passers-by everywhere in their lives. They have experienced the most prosperous time of the mechanical hive, and everything they have now is from this place. If the environment of the mechanical hive does not produce anything big, Of course they want to stay here - at least they don't have to travel all day long for a living, wandering all year round without knowing when they will find a stable place to stay.

The typhoon took away most of the clouds, and the sunlight was able to shine directly through the huge damage of the mechanical hive. The ubiquitous ice refracted the light everywhere, and the interior of the mechanical hive, which was originally dark even with the lights on, was dazzlingly bright. .

Chen Yan could easily see the damage to the mechanical honeycomb because Typhoon [Apacalops] almost cut off more than one-eighth of the oval-shaped mechanical honeycomb, forcibly forming a structure that could even be used in Area B. Huge section to see.

The sunlight shining in from the huge section shines on people, but it does not make people feel warm, because the chill in the air is too heavy. The sea breeze that continues to blow in from the huge section flows along people's necks, which can easily Take away the heat accumulated in your clothes.

People lost their voices in the face of such an irresistible disaster. They didn't know what to say, and they couldn't figure out what they should do next. How could a miraculous mechanical hive be destroyed to such an extent? Where will they go if they depend on it for survival?

Chen Yan looked away from the huge damage on the mechanical hive, shuddered, and dialed Klein Justus' number on his mobile phone.

After a short wait, the call was connected.

Klein's tired voice came from the phone:

"The situation on Days Island is very bad."

He seemed to know what Chen Yan was going to ask.

"[Apakalops] took away the entire power generation system of the first island chain, and the governor applied for power allocation, so now we are actually using power from Yanam City from undersea cables... I heard They will configure a controllable fusion reactor for the mechanical wave, but they don’t know when..."

"Most of the laboratory area in District Y has been destroyed. Almost all high-tech enterprise laboratories are there, and there is no way to save them. Those laboratories invested a lot of manpower and material resources when they were originally established. Now they can't even get results. It's impossible. It’s happened again... So after this, those companies may have to evacuate the first island chain..."

"The abnormal cold wave that occurred last night took away a large number of elderly people... not only ordinary elderly people, but also some very powerful scientific researchers, including a regional chief engineer of the [Moon Orbit Matrix], which means that even if The Internet of Things is fully enabled, and the first island chain cannot achieve the expected Internet of Things capabilities..."

"The First Island Chain is about to be unable to bear it. Before the current leadership team of the First Island Chain Logistics Center collapses, we need new strength.

Therefore, your lordship may be arranged as soon as possible. "

Chen Yan's hand holding the phone stiffened.

"He's already doing it...

You are very lucky. Most of the entrepreneurs in the Mechanical Hive live on higher floors. The typhoon last night took away most of them. They were the seedlings carefully cultivated in the logistics center, and now they have been destroyed... The rest The next few lucky ones will get a lot of resources tilted, and you are one of them. "

Klein spoke quickly and sounded tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Maybe this afternoon... or noon, he will call you."

"In any case, you need to make your own judgment."

Chen Yan did not speak, and Klein did not need Chen Yan to speak. He only needed to make sure that Chen Yan was still alive and that Chen Yan did not die in the typhoon last night.

……

When Chen Yan called Koschiranfor Clapeter, the latter's voice was hoarse.

"Xiao Ke, how is the situation over there?"

Kos's hoarse voice was filled with numbness that could not be concealed.

"It's not good, Mr. Bardo... It's especially bad. Perfume Street is a disaster area. Our school building was destroyed. The students who have finished class are fine, but several teachers were injured in the cold wave... Last night When the typhoon hit, some people took to the streets to rob! Damn it!"

A high-level intellectual like Xiaoke almost never utters bad words. Now he did, and there was no anger in his words, only collapse. Chen Yan could therefore imagine his mental state.

"They were all freshly graduated college students. They came here with full enthusiasm. They were stabbed while protecting the school building. The most serious one among them lost a shoulder!"

Xiaoke's tone was full of hatred.

"These people...they don't deserve to be saved at all!"

Although Chen Yan was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect the situation to be so tragic.

Chen Yan asked: "Where are the others?"

The anger in Xiaoke's tone never dissipated. When he said the next sentence, the anger was mixed with a lot of confusion and uncontrollable panic:
"Sister Xiangxiang's small medical clinic was squeezed out of the door! There were too many people with more serious injuries than us. The small medical clinic could not accommodate so many injured patients. The gang members pointed guns at the doctors' heads and obtained Priority in medical treatment, while others can only wait to die!”

Chen Yan's eyes were shaken, and he lowered his voice as much as possible and asked, "Have you received my email?"

Xiaoke's tone was low: "No..."

Chen Yan said:

"Can you still be able to do it now? If you can still do it, I hope you can compile the injury information of the teachers, and I will give them a compensation to reimburse their medical expenses."

The surprise in Xiaoke's tone disappeared for a moment:
"Okay... okay, I will compile this information."

Chen Yan went on to say:

"I will contact the doctor. You need to let the injured teachers go to the group headquarters building for treatment."

Even if the newly recruited electronic bioscience graduates recruited by Crow and Z Group are completely unprepared, they still have to take the lead!
"You let the teachers pass now."

There was some excitement in Xiaoke's voice, and underneath the excitement there was also uneasiness that was difficult to conceal:

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Yan continued in a positive tone:

"After this time, your branch's operating model will return to pure public welfare, and I will ensure sufficient funding."

Xiaoke didn't expect Chen Yanyan to say this at this time. He couldn't guess Chen Yan's thoughts at all, and he didn't believe that "Chen Yanyan guaranteed enough funds to replenish" - from any aspect, It is almost impossible to do purely public welfare output at this time.

"Stay in touch at all times...and take care of yourself, we may still have a lot of tough battles to fight."

At this time, Koschiranfor Clapeter did not know the meaning of Chen Yan's words. He only thought that Chen Yan wanted him to prepare for the busyness and hardships of his future business.

"Okay, let's go."

After a brief "hmm" response appeared on the phone, Chen Yan hung up the phone.

He quickly called Crow and asked after the call was connected:

"The situation is urgent, you must become a living Bodhisattva."

The crow made a "fuck" sound and said:

"Where did the patient number come from? I haven't cleaned up the hall on the first floor yet!"

Chen Yan easily discerned that the crow's "reluctance" came from "no reward", so he said:

"I will never let you work in vain. After this incident, I am going to hand over the entire omnic prosthetic and prosthetic company under the Z Group to you - you will have a lifelong job recognized by the laws of the empire. contract and become the company’s agent.”

A firm reply came immediately from the other side of the phone:

"Just leave everything to me."

Wu Wu has been in contact with Chen Yan for the shortest time, but he has come into contact with Chen Yan’s many secrets. He probably understands Chen Yan’s identity on the extraordinary side, so he knows very well that to some extent, working with Chen Yan is a very important thing. Dangerous things.

But Crow still took it. This was due to his love for money, but more importantly because of his courage - he thought he could withstand trouble, and he was also very proud of his technical ability. He thought he could rely on his own He has the ability to secure this position and get the money he deserves.

Chen Yan was very grateful to Wu Wu for taking orders at this critical moment and said:
"It's the teachers from the vocational and technical schools under the Z Group. They were hit by the disaster last night and were seriously injured..."

Chen Yan roughly told Crow the situation, hung up the phone after Crow made the promise, and then said to Swam beside him:

"Help me be on guard."

He stood by the wall in deep thought, and his consciousness had switched to the transistors in the BIOS world.

Still in that dull warehouse, the floor was filled with all kinds of supplies and omnics. What looked like a laptop was placed next to Desire, with a data cable extending from it, connecting the omnics. The prosthetic bodies were connected in series, and chaotic codes flashed rapidly on the laptop screen.

Wishes was observing the waterfall of codes that could not be seen at all. He had a scalpel in his mouth, a gel strap on his shoulder, and one of his arms had actually been replaced by the smart robot prosthetic hand from the previous brain robot!

She was very nervous, sweating profusely, her pupils were focused, and her breathing was almost non-existent. Chen Yan did not dare to interrupt her state, so he switched his vision back to the current world where he was.

He opened his eyes, glanced at Swam who was facing a formidable enemy, and said:

"Okay."

The mountain-like god nodded slightly, and his calmness made people feel a sense of security at a glance.

Wishes transformed herself into an omnic, which was something Chen Yan expected. In that world that looked like some kind of future, if she couldn't access the Internet, she wouldn't be able to get what she wanted across the limitations of space. information.

Hope she gets it done.

Chen Yan knew that her worries were completely unnecessary. Wish, who was once called the "Spirit of Knowledge" by the director of the garden, obviously possessed an unimaginable amount of knowledge. She must know what she was doing and what she needed to pay attention to in every detail. …

While Chen Yan was in a state of confusion, the phone rang.

It was Thomas Gilbert.

"Boss, I have finished counting the damage information of the company's employees...

About 60.00% of employees were not affected by the disaster.

Other employees who suffered losses and who were able to get through the phone have registered their damage information and compiled it into a table.

If we can't get through the phone, I have sent my men to look for them, but we can't hold out much hope because this time the disaster affected a large area and many people have lost contact. "

Chen Yan probably expected such a result.

But when he heard the result, he couldn't help but feel bad.
