Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

There were no accidents along the way.

The special transport vehicle quickly entered the city and met the large truck at a roadblock of about 20 meters.

The lights of the two vehicles intersected in the darkness. It illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

"It's time to work."

Su Wu operated the special transport vehicle, unfolded the work platform, popped out the electric pick and bucket, and began to clean up the debris on the road.

In order to improve efficiency, Su Wu did not let artificial intelligence take over the whole process.

Instead, he operated it himself.

Many debris that did not affect the passage of large trucks were directly ignored by Su Wu. Some large debris that had to be handled would also be crushed with an electric pick or moved to the side by a few centimeters to a few meters with a bucket according to their location, material and size. Try not to do anything unnecessary.

Under this kind of fine micro-manipulation.

The whole cleaning process progressed very quickly. On average, it could move forward one meter in more than a minute.

At the same time, such high efficiency inevitably created a lot of noise.

It was like the sound in the construction site, which directly overwhelmed the sound of the howling wind and spread far away. It brought a different kind of vitality to the dark and lonely city.

One or two kilometers away from the blocked large truck.

In a medium-sized shelter at the enterprise level.

Several employees on duty in the monitoring room noticed the movement here.

"There are still people working outside at this time."

"Really amazing."

A young employee in his twenties couldn't help but marvel.

"Maybe it's an official, what an urgent task."

"Discipline over there is above everything, and they can create some miracles."

The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man in his forties. Relatively long life experience made him subconsciously make guesses that fit his past experience.

While talking, his expression unconsciously became much lighter.

No matter which party made the noise, it means that there are still humans active on the surface, fighting against extreme climate disasters while carrying out production activities. As human beings, they are not alone.

"I'll look for it."

"The direction of the sound seems to be from Gong Er Street."

"--Found it."

The operator sitting in front of the monitor also couldn't hide his curiosity. With his rich experience, he quickly locked the scene of the incident. Then, with the help of a traffic camera that was still working, he filmed the special transport vehicles and large trucks on the street from a distance.

"Fuck, what a cool car."

"It looks like it's high-tech and driverless."

The young employee who spoke first came to the screen and shouted. He stared at the special transport vehicle that was opening the working platform to clear obstacles, as if he saw a new toy. The unique and somewhat sci-fi appearance of the special transport vehicle is enough to bring enough sensory impact to people who see it for the first time.

"This is clearing roadblocks."

"To make room for the truck leaving the city."

The operator observed more carefully and saw more useful information.

He noticed a basketball-sized stone on the side of the road, which rolled forward under the wind and disappeared into the darkness in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"We dare to transport in this storm."

"I guess only the authorities have the courage and confidence to do so."

"If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to step out of the shelter door."

The middle-aged employee also came over to watch. He looked at the extremely efficient construction site of the special transport vehicle, but he was thinking of something else.

"This is also good news for us."

"The authorities have such advanced tools."

"If there is any problem here in the future, it will probably not be difficult to wait for official rescue."

More advanced vehicles and unmanned control mean that we can cross more severe extreme environments, and also mean that we can bring hope to the shelters scattered everywhere and in danger.

"That's right."

"I think I can sleep more peacefully in the future."

The young employee agreed very much.

In the monitoring room, a group of people talked and discussed heatedly. The originally dull atmosphere was gradually dispelled with the appearance of the two vehicles in the monitoring. In everyone's eyes, there was more or less stability and relaxation. That was a feeling of finding a sense of reliance.

Surface.

On the street.

The cleaning work of the special transport vehicle has come to an end.

The wind force has quietly broken through the limit of 37 meters per second and entered the range of level 13.

Under this intensity of storm, many operations of the special transport vehicle have been obviously distorted. It takes more time to complete the correction and achieve the goal.

But fortunately, it is all over.

As the last piece of building debris was violently smashed by the electric pick.

The special transport vehicle and the large truck successfully merged together.

There was no celebration or delay for a second.

The special transport vehicle immediately retracted the operating platform and, as the head of a small convoy consisting of two vehicles, began to return to the shelter far away in Huangshi Village.

"The wind speed is increasing faster and faster."

Farmyard.

The second underground floor of the shelter.

Su Wu, who was staying in the control center, did not relax at all because of the sign of returning displayed on the screen. Instead, he keenly felt the approach of danger.

He noticed that the storm was increasing in energy at a much faster speed than before.

According to this increasing trend, before the convoy returns to the shelter, it may encounter a force 16 or even 17 wind attack.

Quietly watching the road surface with flying gravel under the light of the car lights on the screen, Su Wu was silent for a few seconds, took a breath, and knew that he had to make a choice.

Should he completely abandon the special transport vehicle, let the large truck accelerate at full speed, and return alone, or remain as it is and gamble that the climate will not become extreme so quickly?

After hesitating for half a second.

Su Wu's eyes condensed and he made up his mind instantly.

Take a gamble.

The two vehicles running at high speed on the road gradually slowed down and exchanged positions under Su Wu's will. Then the front disc of the special transport vehicle and the tow hook at the rear of the large truck began to link and bind.

This is a very simple operation under normal circumstances.

Because the storm outside was too fierce, the construction robot could not get off the car to assist, and it took more than a minute to successfully achieve it.

And it turned out that the delay of more than a minute was completely worth it.

Shortly after they got back on the road, the storm along the way reached level 16.

At that moment.

There were terrifying howling sounds everywhere in the sky and on the ground. It was as if the sky was about to fall, and the air turned into a huge wave.
