The Witch's Taste

292.Chapter 291 Apocalypse

Considering that Nishikawa Mihui had indeed helped him once before, Chen Ziang decided to let her out to see how she would deal with the professor inside.

A black figure suddenly emerged from the surroundings, frightening the soldiers to subconsciously aim their guns at her, but Chen Ziang quickly raised a hand to signal his men to stay calm for the time being.

The figure finally solidified into the appearance of Nishikawa Mie, with a weird sneer on her face, and a Yinhan Scythe quickly appeared in her hand.

Crack!Snapped!

She just waved her weapon twice before completely splitting the hotel door open, revealing the old professor inside who was looking at him dumbfounded.

Chen Ziang: ……………

"You see." Nishikawa Mie dissipated the sickle and said proudly, "It's easy to solve it."

"Who asked you to destroy the public property of another hotel!" Chen Ziang complained excitedly, "What I want is a way to let him out without destroying the public property! Can I not use a sickle to force his way in?"

"Then you didn't say you can't be violent..." Before Nishikawa Mie could finish her complaint, the figure disappeared from the place again - Chen Ziang had a thought and successfully retracted it into the sword.

So my Mandala Magic Sword actually still has this effect...

Chen Ziang looked at his sword, then sighed, waving his hand for the soldiers to go in and pull out the livid old professor inside.

At this moment, the hotel manager finally rushed out of the elevator with the universal key card.

"I'm so sorry, I was outside just now..." His voice stopped suddenly, because the door of the hotel room in front of him had been broken open, and several soldiers were dragging the struggling old man out.

"I accidentally broke the door." Chen Ziang said expressionlessly, "What's your phone number?"

"Well, the money won't be needed..."

"Give me your phone number."

After writing down the number that the other party reported cautiously, he wrote it down on the list, and then crossed out the old professor's name. Chen Ziang finally said:

"Someone will discuss compensation with you later."

After leaving the hotel, the soldiers pressed the professor into the armored vehicle. Chen Ziang continued to look at the next person on the list, and suddenly he heard noisy exclamations coming from the street outside:

"...It exploded! It exploded!"

What exploded?Chen Ziang was a little stunned, and his cell phone rang soon.

As soon as the connection was connected, Xia Zili's voice sounded:

"Chen Zi'ang! A volcanic eruption has begun in Gao Tianyuan!"

--------

Looking down from the public observation deck of Star Port, Takamagahara looks like a huge snowball.Most of the area is covered with silver-covered white tundra, and even if you look hard enough, you can only see tiny undulations of mountains.

Jibei City and Zhongnan City are one of the few brightly lit human settlements on the planet. They are difficult to observe during the day and can only be seen clearly in the backside hemisphere.

However, the planet Gaotian at this time is like a white canvas that has been spattered with orange-red ink. Large lava flowers are blooming wantonly on the surface - even the smallest lava flower, the actual scale radius It is also above [-] meters.

Chen Ziang saw that the sky above Jibei City was covered by a large number of dark clouds. It should be the thick cumulonimbus clouds formed after the hot lake in Jinchuan District was evaporated by high heat.

The natural disaster is silent and has arrived quietly.

"Expert rescue work in Jibei City has only completed 45%." Xia Zili continued on the other side of the phone. "The problem now is that the natural disaster has arrived early, and the hot lake in Jinchuan District provides a large amount of water vapor and heat, which is different from the heat coming from the suburbs. The cold air collided with the front and the front continued to see-saw, causing heavy rain in almost the entire Jibei City and extremely poor visibility."

"Such unfavorable weather conditions make it impossible for our ship to land. So my sister means to suspend the rescue first. After the volcano erupts further tomorrow, the front of the hot and cold airflow will be pushed out of Jibei City, and then we can continue the rescue activities... …”

"But in this case, you are essentially betting on climate change." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "What if the weather does not improve tomorrow? Wait another day? What if there is still heavy rain the day after tomorrow? Can these people be saved? "

"Yeah." Xia Zili whispered, "So what do you think?"

"The visibility in the center of the heavy rain is low, but what about the edge areas?" Chen Ziang confirmed and asked, "Can we land in the edge areas where rainfall is sparse and visibility is allowed?"

"It's possible, but the journey from the fringe area to the city is too long. Moreover, most of the public transportation in the city has been paralyzed, and the main roads are also blocked by traffic. It will probably take more than 24 hours to go back and forth..."

"Let's do this, call the manpower of the Planetary Commando here, we will parachute into the city on a troop transport above the cumulonimbus clouds, and then gather these experts according to the list." Chen Ziang said quickly, "When the weather permits tomorrow, we will Make unified arrangements for boarding the ship."

"If the weather continues to not improve, we will try to transport them out of the rain range and then put them on the troop carrier."

"Okay." Xia Zili said quickly, "I will accompany you down."

Xia Qingyu did not object to the plan proposed by Chen Ziang, but Tsukigomi Suzuna did have an opinion:

"Senior, it's not impossible to parachute to land, but is it necessary for you to lead the team down in person? Can't we just leave it to the people of the Planetary Commandos?"

"The planetary commandos act according to the orders. There must be a command below, right?" Chen Ziang replied, "They may not know how to deal with complex situations. I feel more at ease if I follow them."

"But senior, don't you have any experience in cloud skydiving?" Tsukimiya Suzuna continued to try to persuade.

"Why not?" Chen Ziang retorted, "Didn't I parachute directly from space last time? It was much easier than skydiving from the clouds."

Tsukimiya Suzuna was speechless.Were you skydiving?You were in free fall, and then instantly became invincible before approaching the ground!

But in this way, the seniors are not inexperienced in dealing with this kind of situation. Besides, there is Xia Zili taking care of and escorting... Bah, bah, bah!Just because she went with her, I felt even more worried, okay?

She wanted to blurt out "I'll go too," but the Ever Given really needed someone to take charge, so Suzuna Tsukimiya held it in for a long while before she finally said:

"Then senior...you will keep yourself clean down there, right?"

Chen Ziang was silent for a long time and replied:

"……what?"

"Ahem, pretend I didn't say that." Suzuna Tsukimiya knew she had made a mistake and said quickly, "Okay then, try to keep in touch after we go down."

On today's Eternal starship, the crew basically obeys Suzuna Tsukinomiya, while the military obeys Xia Qingyu's orders.After taking care of these two people, the troop transport ship and planetary commando team that Chen Ziang needed were quickly put in place.

As the troop carrier entered the atmosphere, the cabin began to shake violently.

Chen Ziang looked around. The soldiers in the commando team were either looking at the floor in a daze or closing their eyes to rest. Only Xia Zili, who was also wearing professional equipment next to him, gave him a reassuring look.

Soon, the starship approached the sky above the cumulonimbus clouds and entered cruising mode.

"Let's go." Chen Ziang stood up and lined up to parachute with the commandos, Xia Zili followed closely behind.

The moment you fall into the clouds, you feel as if you have entered a sauna, with a large amount of warm water hitting your face.

Even if he was wearing goggles, the mirror was covered with water droplets flying across it, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

It wasn't until everyone completely passed through the clouds that Chen Ziang could clearly see the Jibei City below. It was already dark at this time, with countless high-rise buildings standing quietly in the curtain of heavy rain, and there were almost no bright lights.

The city he had lived in since he was a child was already on the verge of death.

After taking antipyretic medicine, the fever went down, but after a few hours it rose back to 38 degrees Celsius. There was no way out.

293. Chapter 292 Start thinking about cheating

Bridge of the Forever, command room.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was sitting in an armchair, looking at the large screen nearly three meters high in front of her. On each screen, there was a massive waterfall of information scrolling.

Normally, such a huge amount of ship operation data requires a team of more than a dozen senior pilots to coordinate and process it, but the "Forever" is an exception.

To be precise, it has its own "brain" and "nerve cells".

The Zetas, who live in metal structures, process this information as easily as eating and drinking, without any extra help from humans.

After staring at the news for a moment, Tsukimiya Suzuna suddenly sighed.

Chen Xiaozhu sat in the rocking chair behind her, silently dazed, without making any response.

"Xiao Zhu," Tsukimiya Suzuna said quietly, "I'm still worried."

"Tell me, will something happen if the two of them are in Jibei City?"

Before Chen Xiaozhu could answer, she started talking to herself again:

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Senior is here to save people, not to fall in love. It's not like Xia Zili helped him and the relationship between the two warmed up." ? If you want to put it this way, I have helped my seniors more... After all, I provided such a big ship, and you are also marrying me if you want to marry me, right?"

"Oh, I'm quite stupid." Suzuna Tsukimiya hugged her legs and curled up on the chair. "When I was running behind, I was worried because I couldn't catch up with my love rival in front; now I'm running at the front. And I’m always afraid because I’m worried about being caught up by someone behind me.”

"Perhaps I am born with this kind of fearful temperament. Even if one day I get my wish and marry my senior smoothly, I will always be afraid that he will be hooked up with his mistress after marriage... In the end, I should still get rid of that in advance. Kill the two sisters, eradicate the roots, once and for all, are you right, Xiaozhu?"

Chen Xiaozhu ignored her.

"Ah, ah, it's so annoying!" Suzuna Tsukimiya crossed her slender legs and yelled with abandon, "I have to call senior now! Right now!"

She tapped a few times on the keyboard, directly activated the starship communication system, and started calling the planet's surface.

"Hello!" The call came through quickly, and Chen Ziang was heard yelling, "What's wrong!"

His voice was mixed in the heavy rain and could not be heard clearly. There were even sporadic gunshots in the distance.

"Uh... Senior, are you okay?" Tsukimiya Suzuna actually felt relieved after hearing the sound of the heavy rain. After all, who would fall in love in such a harsh environment, "We need space. Will you provide support?"

"No!" Chen Ziang continued to yell, "Contact me if you need anything!"

"Okay." Suzuna Tsukimiya hung up the phone and let out a long breath.

I'm relieved to hear that you guys are very busy over there.

She turned her attention back to the screen and got back to work.The Forever can theoretically carry tens of millions of people, but the passenger capacity is a natural bottleneck. Even if all the troop carriers and cargo ships on the ship are put into transportation and people are pulled to the ship 24 hours a day, it is estimated that it will only be 10,000 people a day. + shipping volume.

I still have to find a way to rent a boat at the Star Port... Well, I need to get Hehua's parents quickly and ask her to negotiate with the boat owners on my behalf.

------------

The Shinjuku District Sheriff's Office in Jiboku City has become a temporary base for the rescue team.

Although I am returning to my old workplace, I don’t feel much regret.Because heavy rain poured down all the time, it brought great trouble to the rescue operation.

As natural disasters really followed the rumors, the vast majority of residents who had no choice but to go to Starport chose to take refuge at home or at work, but this did not mean that there were no people on the streets outside - due to the military All the manpower of the police and the police department were withdrawn. Many gangsters took the opportunity to use various crude homemade weapons and formed groups to raid the shopping streets from house to house, looting all the goods they could see.

There were also people who planned to rob the soldiers' vehicles. After three or four people were killed by bullets, the remaining gangsters also fled in panic.

"They will come back." Chen Ziang frowned and said.

"Why?" Xia Zili asked in confusion.

"Because the people currently stranded in Jibei City have basically confirmed the existence of a 'natural disaster'." Chen Ziang sighed and said, "Our group is obviously the military, and the military has collectively evacuated to the star port before, so these What would the gangsters think?”

"They will definitely want to get a means of escaping into space from us." Xia Zili said thoughtfully, "But they don't have guns, right?"

"When people face a survival crisis, they can explode with strength and wisdom far beyond their own." Chen Ziang said cautiously, "We should prepare in advance and don't be careless."

"Zili, ask them to renovate the defense facilities near the base, and arrange for manpower on duty to ensure that there are people standing guard around the perimeter 24 hours a day... Visibility is low due to the heavy rain outside, so beware of anyone taking the opportunity to climb over the wall and get in."

Xia Zili nodded, turned around and quickly gave instructions.

Sure enough, as Chen Ziang expected, as soldiers successively picked up the experts on the list who were stranded in Jibei City from nearby universities and residential areas, the location of the Shinjuku District Sheriff's Department was quickly tracked by the gangsters who were following the convoy. What they discovered.

Sporadic gangsters kept trying to use the cover of heavy rain to climb over the wall and rush into the park. They were all shot and killed by the sentries on guard without hesitation - every time a person was killed, the enemies outside would calm down for a while. , but in the end they will send people over again without giving up.

"How about I take the initiative to go out and find them and kill them all." Xia Zili couldn't bear the disturbance and said irritably, "They are all criminals anyway, right?"

"They are not necessarily criminals." Chen Ziang sighed, "I just went to see the corpses, and some of them showed signs of being beaten."

"You mean, they are ordinary people who were coerced by gangsters?" Xia Zili asked with a frown.

"Maybe." Chen Zi'ang shook his head, "It's just that in today's doomsday environment, it is too easy to switch between bandits and civilians, and there is no point in worrying about identity."

"Zili, did you encounter a similar situation in your previous life?"

Xia Zili was startled when she heard this, and then whispered:

"In the previous life... after the natural disaster broke out, we stayed in Jibei City for about a week before the military came to rescue us."

"At that time, the Takamagahara military suffered heavy losses in the sudden natural disaster because they did not evacuate to the star port collectively. Thanks to my sister's relationship, we were finally able to take refuge in the military's quarantine area, and then some gangsters did try to raid the quarantine area. , but because of the crude weapons, it’s basically impossible to break in.”

"later……"

"What happened after that?"

"Later they spread the news and incited a large number of people to block in front of the quarantine area." Xia Zili recalled, "The military fired shots to drive them away, but it had no effect. They could only let them block the door."

"In the end, the rescue starship landed, and the people outside began to rush in with all their lives... I remember that many people died, but some people did manage to rush in, and finally left Gaotianyuan with us in the starship."

"In this way." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "We may have to face the same situation."

Due to the existence of the Forever, a heavyweight ship, and the fact that some people evacuated to the star port in advance, the critical situation Chen Ziang faced now was actually much better than at the same time in his previous life.

Although more people can be rescued and taken away than in the previous life, "it is not about the scarcity but the inequality." As long as there is no way to save everyone, those abandoned people will not sit still and wait for death, and they will definitely come and fight you desperately.

In order to get people to give up taking desperate risks, other than using absolute violence to suppress bloody and cruel crimes, is there a simpler solution?
