Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country

It was 2:53 a.m. on December 1, 2024 - two hours and 53 minutes had passed since the earthquake struck Dongguo.

The clouds are sparse, and the "Calamity Bell" and the halo of the moon bring little natural light to the sky.

On the ground, the light source left by the Dongguo convoy on the roadside could barely be called a street lamp. At this time, a 'whirlpool'-like pattern was formed on the Dongguo land.

These routes are intricate and twisty, but without exception they all end up running from the coast to the inland.

Wang Shihu sat in the compartment of the troop carrier, staring at the outside world through the entrance of the compartment that could not be completely closed.

As a member of the rear group, Wang Shihu's vehicle was in front of the last batch of evacuated residents, and behind him were more rear group soldiers.

It had been nearly three hours since the earthquake disaster began, but at this time, the ground in Dongguo, at least where they were, was still relatively stable.

But Wang Shihu's expression did not relax. After checking the current location of the convoy using the on-board equipment, he called up the satellite image.

Looking at the area covered in red on the satellite map, especially the red danger line that flashes every minute, gradually moving closer to his position, he frowned tightly.

These areas covered in red are areas where earthquakes have occurred in Dongguo.

There are still some purple-blue areas on the edge of the Eastern Land, which means that the sea has begun to riot, and the water level has exceeded the safety line and begun to surge towards the mainland.

"There should be no way to escape. We will definitely be caught up."

Seeing that the distance between his position and the danger range was almost the same, Wang Shihu clenched his fist slightly and whispered to himself unwillingly.

Dongguo's plans and arrangements are extremely extreme. In the case of frequent accidents, the initial vehicle may only be delayed for a few minutes or even a second or two due to accidents, but this situation gradually accumulates and is delayed to where Wang Shihu is. In the end, there will be a very significant gap in the team.

As the tail of the team, I expected to be caught up, but it was indeed a bit early.

"Brother Tiger, can you ask the team in front to speed up?" The teammates around him were all looking at this picture representing the great escape of life, and one of them asked.

"I can't mention it. If I could, I would have mentioned it a long time ago. The current speed is the fastest we can do without ensuring that no subjective accidents such as car accidents occur." Wang Shihu shook his head.

"There is definitely no way to escape. However, the earthquake that just spread in the early stages of the earthquake disaster should not affect our continued journey. If we count this time, we may still be able to reach the end of the road they opened outside Lingnan City and meet them. It's... right."

When his teammates heard this, they said unconfidently as if they were relieved.

Wang Shihu was just about to nod and agree with his teammates' statement. At least this would boost his morale.

But after seeing a situation on the satellite image, his brows suddenly furrowed: "That's wrong!"

"What not..."

His teammates were about to ask, but they saw Wang Shihu running directly to the front of the carriage, picking up the mobile phone on it, and making a call.

"Team leader, the Dongguo Earthquake is expected to catch up with us within an hour, but on the route, we are about to go through a long mountain road!

We already know that the part of the frozen ice that is in contact with the soil is the first to melt. In other words, the ice and the ground are probably no longer 'one', and their friction may have reached a limit value.

Once an earthquake strikes, while we are still on the mountain road, big surprises may occur!

At that time, even a slight earthquake may cause a chain reaction. The hail, frozen trees, and stones on the mountain that we have not cleaned at all will instantly roll down to the bottom of the mountain. The road our convoy is driving will definitely be affected! "

Wang Shihu expressed his worries at an extremely fast speed.

"Although this is a 'possible' concern, we soldiers can take risks, but we cannot take the risks with the people!

My current idea is a bit extreme - since we have no other road to choose from, let all the vehicles that are expected to be unable to pass within an hour stop or even retreat, meet up with our soldiers, and then we go to the surrounding farms to wait. In these flat areas, start taking refuge nearby, waiting for the rescue of the large army from the Eastern Kingdom! "

"Where we are, no matter how much sea water the tsunami brings, it won't be able to flood here. As for the increasingly severe earthquakes, as long as we are in the open space, we can avoid being hurt as much as possible.

I think the temporary supplies we carry, as well as several supply points nearby, should be able to support us in sheltering here for a few days, until the day when the core force of Dongguo is free to rescue us!

OK, I'm waiting for your messages and instructions. "

The teammates who were originally confused around him heard that they had already checked the prescribed route in front of the satellite map, and they suddenly discovered that Wang Shihu's worries were not unfounded.

The ice layer has separated from the ground. At this time, it is as extreme as an avalanche that may be triggered by loud noises. An initial earthquake can also bring about a large number of 'ice avalanches' mixed with surface soil!

……

The composition of the migration convoy is not that there is a convoy of civilians in the middle, and then a large convoy of soldiers at both ends.

There were indeed a larger number of soldiers at the beginning and end, but most of the soldiers' vehicles were mixed in with the civilian convoy.

The driver watched the soldier's vehicle in front of him slowly stop, and even began to turn around on the spot. Then he listened to the command in his ear and stepped on the brakes.

Just received the order, the military vehicle in front was a dividing line. The convoy in front of it continued to move forward according to the original plan, racing against time, while all the teams behind it turned around.

At this point in time, the special time of midnight has passed. Most of the people's schedules are relatively normal. In addition, the people who did not have a good rest yesterday have already fallen asleep relying on each other.

And the inertia brought by this sudden brake made all of them surge forward.

Although it was not a sudden stop, and it was protected by a seat belt, it would not cause any harm, but this change made most people open their hazy eyes.

"What happened? Are we there yet?"

"It's so dark, what time is it now..."

"..."

"Everyone!" the driver said loudly at this time.

"It's now 3:07 in the morning, and it's only been a few dozen minutes since we were overtaken by the earthquake!"

The noise subsided in an instant. Listening to the words that did not sound like good news, everyone remained silent and waited for the next words.

"It is a definite fact that we have been affected by the earthquake, but the road ahead of us is going through mountains and forests..." The driver recited all the reasons for the order he had just heard to the passengers in the car.

"Therefore, for safety reasons, we will stop moving forward. We will immediately move to the original Pingbo Village behind us and build a temporary shelter on the flat land on the right side of the village! Please understand and support our decision, we will never take your We are making a fool of ourselves and will do our best to ensure everyone’s safety before rescue arrives!”
