Encounter the Ice Age

The incident happened in a hurry, and Zhaoqing's uneasiness rose to a certain point. He felt that this time was not a simple natural disaster.

Although Zhaoqing could quickly make up his mind to stay here and wait, he was still flustered and sent Chen Yang several messages. In the text messages, he repeatedly reminded Chen Yang to go to the southern hemisphere as much as possible.

Zhaoqing didn't know if his message was realistic, and he wasn't sure if Chen Yang could receive it. He could only relieve his inner anxiety by sending text messages repeatedly.

When people are in a panic, they will think wildly. There are many pictures in Zhaoqing's mind. He hopes that Chen Yang can see the text message and come back or survive all this, so that they may meet again.

Maybe we can meet each other again, these words rolled over in Zhaoqing's heart and stirred up a burning fire.Separation in a disaster will split people into two worlds in a second.

If the huge waves really fly, Seattle, which is on the coastline, will definitely be the first line to be baptized by the sea.Even if the huge waves are Zhaoqing's fantasy, and what Seattle is about to experience is a hurricane or the collapse of a continental plate, it makes no difference to tiny human beings.

Zhao Qing, who owns a small world, will eventually find a way out, but what about Chen Yang?

Zhao Qing couldn't help fantasizing that Chen Yang was in a place where he could be rescued, and at the moment when the environment deteriorated to the worst, at least the only man in his life who had expressed his love could be rescued if he was alive.

Zhaoqing didn't dare to think about the worst scenario. What if this is a disaster that spreads all over the world and there is no safe place at all?What would Chen Yang do if there was no Garden of Eden and no safe haven?

Zhao Qing will not leave here, he knows himself very well, even if he walks in the water and avoids all the undercurrents that Chen Yang said, he will not be able to reach Los Angeles.Instead of dying on the way or witnessing his own retreat, it is better to stay here and do what Chen Yang said, and wait for Chen Yang at home.

Besides, Zhaoqing already has one more world than everyone else in this world, so he must have a greater chance of surviving.In the future, as long as the communication is restored, he and Chen Yang will still have a chance to communicate, or if the communication never resumes, as long as Zhaoqing stays in Seattle, maybe Chen Yang will come back.

So things are not as bad as Zhaoqing thought, maybe he can survive, and so can his lover.

And then they could meet again someday too.

Zhaoqing calmed himself while his thoughts were spinning, he regained his mobility and took out the power bank to charge up all the power banks he could find. Sooner or later, the power would fail. He needed more and more stable energy.

I still remember that charging treasures were not popular in the United States at that time, and many of them were bought by domestic netizens overseas or by himself and hidden in the Small World warehouse to avoid security checks and brought back to the United States. A power bank with a small safety rating.

Zhao Qing is relatively quiet and withdrawn in real life, but as long as he is online, he can get friends from all over the world. All the Huaxia products he needs in life are transported by air from these compatriots.They have a forum group. Interaction. Simple words and deep words. They have never seen it but know the bottom line.

Now there is a lot of trouble in the group. It is not only Zhaoqing who is predicting the end of the world, but also other people who are spreading the news of the sudden change. Zhaoqing also left a message in the group while the Internet was not interrupted, but he did not wait for a few words The effective reply network is completely disconnected.

Zhaoqing re-read the group messages sent by these group friends before they went offline. He found that the details of each person's argument were different, but they pointed to the same point, and the end of the world was about to begin.

Zhaoqing restarted the router and telephone equipment several times, but the inter-city communication was completely cut off and the router could not be activated, and all the hotlines in the city were busy.The communication was cut off, which made him even more restless. He stood at the window and looked at the rain outside...

Although Zhaoqing couldn't go to Los Angeles, it didn't mean he couldn't go to the convenience store downstairs. He thought about putting on his coat and running downstairs.

There were still people in the convenience store insisting on going to work. Zhaoqing went up a few steps to enter the store. The clerk was cleaning the stagnant water outside. There were more people shopping than he had imagined.

The surrounding atmosphere has completely changed, and people seem to have been suddenly pressed into a state of hoarding by a non-existent warning button.Everyone has become a hamster, transferring resources to their own homes as many times as possible.

Zhao Qing didn't know what his future would be like, the more people panicked, the more panicked he became, and many horrifying scenes kept appearing before his eyes.

Maybe it was just an ordinary natural disaster, but Zhaoqing couldn't escape this feeling of panic, and in the end he could only do whatever he wanted, whatever he wanted.

Zhaoqing saw that the variety of products on the shelves was already incomplete, and the store owner must have not replenished the stock for a long time and suddenly had a buying wave.

Zhaoqing chose a few flashlights and bought a lot of batteries, then swept up the leftover candies and seasonings, and he also bought a lot of ready-to-eat products.

Repeated purchases made Zhaoqing go up and down more than ten times. The first floor was completely soaked in water and the unrepaired elevator had no chance to start again. He usually climbed up to the seventh floor twice, but this time he felt uncomfortable. Tired.

The clerk laughed when he found out that it was still Zhaoqing after paying the bill two or three times.It was also rare for Zhaoqing to take the initiative to explain to the clerk, saying that he wanted to buy more things to calm himself in such weather.

The clerk also followed Huatou and said that he could understand, and he even prepared a lot of things for himself.

Under such continuous abnormal weather, most people will cope with it. Zhaoqing's abnormality is submerged in the anxiety of the group, and no one has time to observe the people around him and only hopes to move more things back to his home.

Busy until after one o'clock in the afternoon, the vacant space in Chen Yang's house was piled up. Zhaoqing ate two Snickers bars to replenish his strength, and drank some water to relieve the sweet, greasy and salty taste in his mouth, but he still felt like There are nails growing on the buttocks, and as long as I sit down, I will keep shaking my legs.

After a while, Zhaoqing stood up again and put on his coat. If he could go to the convenience store, he should be able to go a little farther.

Fortunately, the city's mobile network is fairly stable. Zhaoqing made a phone call while going downstairs, and it seemed that he could find everyone he needed except Chen Yang and the municipal service hotline.

By coincidence, Zhaoqing saved these phone numbers a few years ago. He used the opportunity of high school student research to chat with these energy supply bosses, but he never thought that he would have the day to contact again.Firstly, he didn't have that much extra money, secondly, he didn't dare to do this with great fanfare, and thirdly, he felt it was unnecessary.

But now a huge uneasiness hits Zhaoqing, the darkness is unknown and the heavy rain has not stopped, the hailstone seems to be a little smaller but it is like the calm before the storm.

Zhaoqing has an unspeakable impulse, desperately hoping that there is still time.He had to do something, even if it was just to reassure himself, just for a second, he had to try his luck.

Practice has proved that Zhaoqing is lucky, his car can drive normally in the knee-deep water.

Most of the vehicles gathered to go to the outer city of Seattle, which made the direction of the beach where Zhaoqing was going to be quieter.Seattle is not only a tourist city, but also a port city. The east coast is full of containers and transit warehouses.

Zhaoqing had never avoided roadblocks so neatly, shifted gears, refueled and stepped on the brakes, but due to bad weather and road conditions, it took him three times as long to reach his destination.

Zhaoqing has never spent money so extravagantly in her life.He didn't bargain, and he didn't know where to compare prices. He didn't know whether he bought an expensive one or picked up a cheap one.

Now Zhaoqing is standing in a huge factory building full of water, with neatly stacked coal in front of him.The coal boss was in a hurry to leave Seattle, but he didn't expect to make a big deal before leaving.

The boss's choice is also a risk. Seattle's winter is getting colder and colder. Every year, he hoards coal and waits to sell it to the government at a high price in winter.But now a lot of his stored coal has been soaked and broken during the long rainy season, and it needs to be dried in a sunny place, otherwise it cannot be used at all.Only the top few layers are still [-]% dry and barely usable.

Disasters frequently occur, and the government is short of finances, and the loopholes in urban construction cannot be filled, let alone this kind of welfare-style procurement.The coal boss saw that the coal was about to rot in his hands, but a fool offered money to buy it, so of course he sold it.

The boss needs money, and he wants to take his family away from this damn city for a while.

Zhaoqing harbored unexplainable secrets and inexplicable purchase needs, but these were ignored by the coal boss in his anxiety to leave.

Zhaoqing pointed to a machine with a stove in front of him and asked, "Is that a thermal generator? I want it too."

The boss nodded, "You have ordered three warehouses, how are you going to transport them?"

"I'm not going to take it away now, wait... I have a friend coming later. I... once, I can't take it all at once. I will rent your factory..." Zhao Qing didn't need to be sure how he would take it away, he just needed to make sure that the boss couldn't You can just take it away, even if the boss wants to take it away, it is only a small part.

The boss just asked casually, he didn't care whether Zhaoqing could transport these things away.The flustered young man in front of him might just be impulsive, but the boss only needs to get the money.

Transfer and remittance, turnkey, payment in cash and goods.

Zhaoqing said that he was waiting here for a friend to drive to deliver the goods, and the boss left with peace of mind after seeing the transfer record. He did not wait with Zhaoqing in the heavy rain.

When the two passed by, Zhaoqing impulsively stopped the boss, "I suggest you take some away!"

Human beings seem to still be vigilant before the danger comes. The boss said: "I took a truckload, although I don't know what it is for. May the Lord bless us and hope that we are all lucky."

Zhaoqing nodded, he also hoped that he was lucky.

Dark clouds and pattering rain suppressed the sky, and the boundary between day and night was completely blurred.Zhao Qing looked at the figure of the coal boss leaving, and looked around without cameras. He had never made such a reckless and indulgent decision in two lifetimes, and simply put all the coal into the small world warehouse in his own way.

Zhaoqing hurriedly packed up the three huge warehouses. He left some spare copies for passers-by who might show up, locked the warehouses and drove away.

Zhaoqing sat in the car for a while, wondering if he should go to the second place.How would he explain his purchases if it didn't come and the rain ended and the day returned to normal?Can he take away such a large amount of supplies out of thin air?He may be able to smooth everything out before anyone finds out, but there are too many traces of his tail that can't be covered up.

Zhaoqing thought to himself that he didn't have a lot of scheming, he even drove a few dozen miles slower than others.Could it be the FBI waiting for him?Could it be some scientific research organization?

But what if everything comes?What if... there were no other if possibilities under his feet?How would he survive, how would he survive in a barren world.Will someone come to the rescue?

What if the world was more damaged than he imagined?What if there is no safe house either?If he can't see Chen Yang again, what's the use of all this....But if Chen Yang can hold on and he doesn't have all these, what will the two of them do?

Zhaoqing's thoughts were chaotic, many voices appeared in his head, many considerations refuted each other, he thought of Chen Yang's car suddenly started, his movements were ahead of his mind, he didn't control the steering wheel in his hand, the car skidded and hit the railing with a bang With a loud sound, the huge shock mixed with the severe pain in the wrist made Zhaoqing suddenly awake.

If God does not allow him to do this, why give him all this.If doing so is against the so-called will of God, then let the will of God come.Zhaoqing would rather die in the old dream of prosperity than face the cold and barren end times with her lover.He would rather die in an unknown accident than die in a future for which he was not prepared.

In the dark, the sharp sword held by God's will is already hanging over every human being's head. As for who will be stabbed, let God choose.

Zhaoqing ignored the pain in his wrist and restarted the car with the slightly deformed bumper.He drove for more than ten minutes to another warehouse area to meet the gasoline dealer he had contacted, Hanni.

Hanni was much smarter than the coal boss Zhaoqing had met before, and he asked Zhaoqing many questions.Gasoline is something that everyone uses but not everyone hoards or wants to hoard.

Zhao Qing was a little numb, he couldn't think of a good reason, so he didn't say much, it didn't matter if he got lucky or lost.He just said over and over again, if you sell it, you will sell it, if you don't sell it, you will leave.In this chaotic world, there is no need to be so entangled in some things, he is still in a hurry, if he doesn't sell him, he will leave immediately.

Hanni suddenly said that he had only seen heavy rain for such a long time in his dream, Zhaoqing couldn't answer this, and Hanni didn't need Zhaoqing's answer, the atmosphere was silent and depressed for a moment.

Hanni was meditating with a pipe in his mouth, and Zhao Qing felt that Hanni saw many things that he couldn't see in his eyes.

Looking at the old face of the other party, Zhao Qing asked an irrelevant question: "Are you... planning to leave this city?"

"How to leave? Running for the children? There is no need. My son is in Melbourne. Even if the plane is still flying, where am I, a 60-year-old man and an 80-year-old mother, going? We have already passed the time of fleeing for our lives. My youngest daughter She ran away from home, who knows where she is? I live behind this warehouse and have been guarding this business for more than ten years, where can I go?" He tapped his knee while speaking.

"The professor of Meteorology at the University of Washington said that a world of ice and snow is coming...you..." Zhao Qing felt like wanting to remind her, but she didn't know what to say next.In such a situation, he is like a demagogic liar, he looks too young and acts abnormally.

"A world of ice and snow?" Hanni repeated Zhaoqing's words and said, "Yes, spring is going far away from us. What about you, where are you going?"

"I will stay in Seattle and wait for my lover to come back to me after the disaster is over." Zhaoqing said to wait for the disaster to end, but he forgot that he has a pair of eyes that can't lie, and his eyes did not see the end of the disaster expectations, and Hanni has no expectations for the future in his eyes.

Zhaoqing looked at Hanni's eyes, and the two suddenly had a tacit understanding.

"Leave, old man, don't stay by the sea, the business that you have cared for for a lifetime is not worth staying. Even if you open a hotel and stay in a high room for a while," Zhao Qing could avoid other people's eyes, but If he opened up even a little for others, would there be any real worry leaking out of those clear pupils?

Hanny tapped his pipe to pour out the spent tobacco, and said, "I'll sell it. But I'll only sell a third, and I need your money. Boy!"

"Okay, thank you for your generosity, that's enough." Zhaoqing was very grateful, so what about a third, since everything here is counted in tons.

One third is enough to survive the most difficult time.
