Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Chapter 38: Racing against the Storm

The flying gravel on the road was so dense that it blocked the lights of the car. It was impossible to see beyond two meters.

Then these stones hit the transport vehicles and trucks at high speed.

Making crackling sounds.

Forming waves of strong sound one after another, drowning out all other different sounds.

The special transport vehicle was limited by its size and weight, and it was the first to show signs of losing control in this extreme environment.

Its body began to shake left and right, and the amplitude gradually increased. In the end, if it was not pulled by the tow hook of the large truck in front, it would probably fall into the dry canal on the side of the road.

In front of the control console.

Su Wu turned off the real-time images transmitted by the special transport vehicle and the large truck.

On the wide screen in front of him, the main view changed to a three-dimensional terrain map modeled after scanning by the large truck's onboard radar.

Because there were too many debris blown up by the strong wind, the terrain map was full of light spots that blocked the view, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance. Only by cooperating with the 3D panoramic map recorded before the natural disaster and verifying each other, can we barely restore part of the terrain and determine the current location of the convoy.

Next to the topographic map are various driving data of the two vehicles. Including speed, steering, center of gravity, tilt, etc.

Su Wu only needs to calculate slightly in his mind based on these constantly changing data.

He can roughly know the current status of the convoy and the external pressure it faces.

But that's all he can do.

The current situation is beyond his ability. It has actually evolved into a scene where primary artificial intelligence and vehicles born in the early days of the doomsday are racing against natural disasters.

"We're almost home."

Su Wu, who is powerless, can only look at the map at this time and silently pray for the safety of the convoy.

On the wasteland on the surface.

The roaring hurricane turned into an indestructible torrent, sweeping from the end of the horizon to the direction of the mountains.

Occasionally there are one or two less reliable hills.

In this extreme storm, there is a slight tremor. Then at a certain moment, it exploded like a snow pile kicked by someone. Countless soils that made up the hills, small pieces of broken rocks, dead tree roots, etc., all flew in all directions with the wind.

But in such a dangerous scene.

Two vehicles, one large and one small, connected by iron chains, ran silently on the road covered with gray sand and gravel, where the boundaries could no longer be seen. Passing through the waves woven by the storm, they continued to break through the waves.

Tiny but indelible.

Finally.

The wall of the farmyard was in sight.

The two vehicles directly smashed the locked gate of the yard without slowing down, and rushed towards the entrance of the shelter in the strong wind.

At the same time, the heavy gate of the shelter began to open slowly and synchronously.

A few seconds later.

Large trucks and special transport vehicles broke into the entrance passage of the shelter one after another. The sandstorm that was rolled up by the strong wind was completely thrown outside the gate of the shelter that was slowly closing again.

Underground second floor, control center.

Su Wu's heart, which had been hanging, was relieved.

The return of the convoy meant that his most important asset in the outside world had landed safely.

Next, he could stay in the shelter with peace of mind.

Waiting for this unprecedented storm to pass.

But at this moment.

A slight vibration came from the soles of his feet.

Su Wu frowned, and had no time to find the source of the vibration. On the monitoring wall of the control center, all the monitoring images of the surface went out one after another in just a few seconds.

"What's going on?"

Su Wu's heart, which had just been relieved, tightened again in an instant. He looked at the huge main screen in front of the console and asked the artificial intelligence to check the operating status inside the shelter as soon as possible.

The feedback made him feel a little relieved.

The previous abnormal movement did not break out inside the shelter.

The entire shelter, including the fourth underground floor that had not yet been excavated, was not affected.

"Is this an earthquake?"

With some doubts, Su Wu tried to figure out what happened outside.

But because all the external cameras in the shelter lost contact, this attempt had little effect.

In the end, he relied on repeatedly playing the last few seconds of the ground monitoring before losing contact to barely get some information.

It was not an earthquake.

Or in other words, there was no sign of an earthquake in the monitoring.

All the accidents came from the storm that was intensifying in vain outside.

According to the analysis and calculation of the pictures by artificial intelligence, the storm active on the surface at the last moment really reached level 17 in intensity. And this is obviously not its limit. It is completely unknown to what extent it will eventually grow.

"Fortunately, the large truck came back in advance."

"Otherwise, the consequences are hard to say."

Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little relieved when his eyes were fixed on the analysis of the 17-level wind intensity.

If he hadn't insisted and let the large truck continue to stay in the city. At this time, something might have happened. But besides being relieved, his heart was still inevitably covered with a layer of haze.

A hurricane exceeding level 17.

Not to mention Jianghe City in the hinterland of the mainland, even in the coastal areas, almost all of them can only be found in historical records.

Its arrival is not a good sign.

"In the future, we can't just focus on resisting high temperatures."

"Other natural disasters must also be prevented."

After getting his mood right, Su Wu began to reflect on himself.

This time.

Although the situation on the ground is not clear yet.

But with such a strong storm passing through, losses are almost inevitable.

The worst result is that all the materials piled on the ground may be destroyed by the storm.

This is completely Su Wu's misjudgment.

He did not expect to encounter such extreme climate as a super-large storm in advance.

Fortunately, after two or three hours of emergency transfer, even if the worst situation occurs, the losses are still within the acceptable range.

At most, it will be distressed for a few days.

Check the time.

It is almost four o'clock in the morning.

Su Wu quickly sorted out his experience today again and confirmed that there is nothing urgent to deal with for the time being. He yawned and got up and left the console.

He planned to wash up and go to sleep first.

No matter how big the storm outside is, it will not affect the shelter deep underground. Similarly, Su Wu, who is in the shelter, cannot interfere with the outside world.

The only thing he can do is to have a good rest.

Get enough energy to wait for the storm to subside.

A few hours later.

At noon.

The storm on the surface weakened.

Su Wu, who had just woken up, received greetings from Ye Luoshuanghua through the radio equipment.

And got a special account through her.

"Satellite network?"
