Chapter 269 Someone is coming

   Liu Peiqiang stared blankly at the earth outside the window.

   Although it has been a few days, he is still uncomfortable with the fact that he is on a mission in another time and space. Especially the earth in this time and space looks very strange, completely different from the blue earth in his childhood memories.

   "This looks really spectacular, it's the first time I've seen this kind of weather, bro."

   A familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.

   You don’t even have to look to know that it’s your partner Makarov.

   "Alas, these spectacles are all bought with life."

   Liu Peiqiang had mixed feelings in his heart, Makarov put his shoulders on his shoulders and comforted: "We have done everything we can do, we don't have to be sad for this brother..."

   "And similar things happened with us, didn't they happen often before?"

   "Be optimistic, huh?"

  Due to the great transformation of the geological structure and the great change of the climate, the disaster of wandering time and space often occurs, and once it occurs, it is often the loss of half the population of the dungeon.

   To this end, the coalition government has taken precautions in all aspects and tried its best to play down the impact. Especially considering that the earth will completely stop rotating in a few years, and then there will be a catastrophe. In order to prepare people psychologically, these things have been planned and explained decades in advance.

   So for their generation, meteorological disasters are already commonplace in their hearts, and it can even be said to be a little numb.

   For example, the most common occurrence is the infiltration of magma into the dungeon. In the past, I could only strengthen inspection and prevention while accepting my fate.

   Faced with the helplessness in this big era, the only thing they can do besides admit their fate is to sigh when the news reports this.

   Even if he is an astronaut, even if it is Sun Deyi, it is no exception, no one can save those people trapped in magma.

   At least, it was like this before the Mutual Rescue Club and that President Zhang appeared.

   Liu Peiqiang pondered.

   It was only more than half a year ago, after the magma infiltration accident in the underground city of Changbai Mountain, that he discovered for the first time that they already had a new way to face this disaster.

  The time tunnel combined with the orderly organization is enough to take everyone out of danger before the **** of death really starts to harvest life...

   Seeing that his partner hadn't responded for a long time, Makarov brought a pack of drinks and handed it over: "Do you think I'm wrong?"

   Liu Peiqiang took the drink and silently put the straw into his mouth, "Old Ma, what you said is not wrong, it's just that I'm not used to it..."

Makarov shrugged his shoulders and sucked his drink bag dry: "On the bright side, with the Mutual Rescue Association and us in this time and space, the mortality rate has been greatly reduced. It is hard to imagine that if we hadn't come here, this time and space would be How many people will die."

   Liu Peiqiang spit out the depression in his heart, and had to let go of the contrast between ideal and reality.

After the    space station took over this temporary mission, he has been paying close attention to all the news about this time and space that can be received.

   From the beginning to the end of the entire operation, he knew all the internal reports in their time and space and the gossip that could be inquired.

   Especially Baker's refusal to cooperate, refuse to believe, refuse to cooperate...

It is a miracle that    can achieve the present results.

   I can only say that the old horse is right, if not for them, relying on this time and space alone, being attacked by this kind of meteorological natural disaster, I am afraid it will become a replica of No. 2 time and space.

   "Stop talking about it, just say something happy."

   "I heard that the North American rescue in this time and space is a paid operation. After the operation is over, they will settle a large amount of materials for us, although it is likely to be taken out of the 'refrigerator'."

"But in the dungeons of our time and space, maybe we can get some more things. After my children heard that I participated in this rescue operation, they might silently fold their hands at the sumptuous table and say in their hearts, 'Thank you my father. All this for me'..."

   Seeing that the old horse's mouth was about to grin to the roots, he had completely fallen into his own fantasy, Liu Peiqiang smiled, and he couldn't help thinking of his family in another time and space.

  …

New York.

  Jack and his two companions finally crossed the Statue of Liberty and set foot on the land of Manhattan in a sleigh.

  The Manhattan area that appeared before them lost its former prosperity, money was washed away by the tsunami, and power was frozen under the ice.

   In front of the three, there was only darkness.

  The electricity has already been cut off.

   "Let's start walking from here."

  Jack and the three got off the sleigh and pushed the sleigh forward with the help of the weak headlights.

   They were so impressed by the near-shooting on Staten Island during the day that they dared not wake up the gunmen hiding in the dark at night.

   But good men always shine...

   Besides, they had the lights on at the front of the car.

   So the three of them didn't get far before they were discovered again.

  Wow!

There was a sudden loud noise from the building next to   . It seemed that many people were walking, and some people seemed to be roaring in a low voice.

  The three of them immediately tense their nerves, and they made eye contact with each other. They rushed to the shelf behind the sled and carried the various supplies on the bag.

   They are going to abandon the car and run away!

   But just then...

   "Stop!"

   A beam of light hit them directly in the face.

  A young man clearly wearing a heavy coat and a black police uniform came out from the broken window of the building.

   The light that hit their faces was the flashlight.

   Seeing that it was a policeman, Jack and the three of them put down their hearts a little and gave a French military salute obediently.

   "Where did the three of you get this sled?" Lund turned off the flashlight and approached the three.

   With the experience of working for several years, he has already judged that the risk factor of these three people is not high, after all, they are all white, and they are quite comfortable and calm when they look at their faces...

  Jack put down his hands, "We came from Washington."

  Lund shuddered: "Washington came over?! You are the rescue team!?"

  Jack met Frank's eyes: "Well... we can be regarded as a member of the rescue team, but we are now separated from the main force."

  Lund couldn't hear the last sentence at all. He turned on his flashlight again and took a look at the sleigh, and found that there was indeed the Mutual Rescue logo on the TV, and he was immediately excited.

   "Come on, come in with us first, is there anyone else? Just the three of you?"

   "No," Jack was a little embarrassed, "just the three of us."

   "Then come in quickly..." Lund grabbed Jack's hand and called the people in the building to come out and help bring the sleigh in.

   Entered the building, and Jack realized that there were a lot of people here.

   Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at him.

  Lund explained briefly on the side: "I just thought you guys came to sneak attack in the dark, so we woke everyone up."

   After saying this, he turned to face the others and said excitedly:

   "Everyone, in front of us now are the members of the rescue team. They came by sleigh cars. We will be rescued soon!"

Uh……

When   Jack heard this, he interrupted Lund quickly, hugged his shoulders and stepped back: "I told you just now that we are just barely a member of the rescue team."

   "Doesn't that mean you are part of the rescue team?"

  “…”

   What he said makes sense.

Jack was choked, knowing that he didn't make it clear, and continued: "Listen, we have left the team now, we have other tasks, my son is in New York now, I am going to find him, he is My only son, I haven't had time to spend with him..."

  Lund stared blankly at the middle-aged uncle in front of him, talking like a machine gun.

   Behind Jack, the seasoned Frank has stepped forward to preside over the overall situation. He briefly introduced his identity to everyone. He was just a rescue team that got lost with the big army. I hope you don’t misunderstand Bara Bara…

   The people who were holding their knees and supporting their sleepiness were greatly disappointed when they heard these words.

   Frank was relieved to see this.

   He was afraid that these three people would regard him as the savior of the world.

  Lund listened to Jack's machine gun and gradually understood it from the initial confusion.

   "So you can't save us?"

  Jack shook his head: "The three of us are also taking risks."

"Okay then," Lund sighed, knowing that it was empty joy, but he still reminded: "You'd better wait a little longer, and then set off with us in the early morning, so that you will be shot by a lunatic. The least likely."

  Jack nodded, he also felt that this was not very safe, it was still too conspicuous to drive on the road at night.

   But he immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

  Lund said: "Go to Staten Island and join your large army."

  Jack frowned and subconsciously said, "Are you crazy? Didn't it already say on the radio that you need to stay indoors to keep warm now?"

   He held his head, looked at the people around him, and asked, "Where did you all come from?"

  Lund was taken aback by his exaggerated reaction, and said woodenly, "We came out of the public library."

   By the way, he also talked about the fact that he and others were separated from the library.

  Jack picked up the map and quickly found the location of the public library.

   "It's only a straight-line distance of about seven kilometers from here. How long did it take you to get here from the library?"

  Lund scratched his hair: "About half the day."

   For such a long time, I have only traveled so much.

   On the one hand, there is the threat of gunmen, on the other hand, the weather and terrain are bad, and many people don’t even recognize the way. After all, there are at least two floors of ice in New York now, and there are no road signs.

  Jack said calmly: "From here to the location of the rescue team, there is still 25 kilometers in a straight line, and you have to walk for at least three days."

   "There's absolutely no way you guys can last two more days."

   You don't even have to look carefully, Jack can also know how serious the physical exhaustion of these people in front of him is.

   He often goes to Antarctica, and he knows how tiring it is to walk on the ice sheet in such blizzard weather.

Lund was also a little hesitant, but Jack didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "I suggest that you return to the library as soon as dawn, according to what you said, you have already set up a shelter in the library, and spend this time there. Crisis is the best option!"

   "Also, you should have heard the broadcast of the space station, there will be a terrifying storm in New York these few days..."

   "That's also a few days away, and it doesn't necessarily come."

  Lund still didn't want to give up, but he couldn't help hesitating after hearing Jack's words again in the difficult day today.

   And Jack's next words are unequivocal:

   "No, that storm will definitely come!"

   "Just as they predicted the climate catastrophe in advance, this storm that they have predicted countless times will surely come in these days!"

   "I have worked in the Mutual Rescue Society, I know the people there, their technology and theory are far more advanced than ours, and it is impossible to go wrong!"

   "Promise me, go back to the library after dawn..."

  Although the only mission here this time was to find his son, Jack couldn't watch so many people go to a dead end.

  Lund became more and more hesitant. Looking at the people behind him who came out of the library, he no longer knew what to do.

  Jack saw this, he stood up actively, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention to himself, he cleared his throat:

   "Everyone, I think you'd better go back to the library after dawn..."

  Washington.

   This night seems extraordinarily long.

  The cold wind whistled outside the window, and the heavy snow fell on the window, making Lucy, who was alone in the hospital, very uneasy.

   Peter, who had become a little bald due to chemotherapy, had fallen asleep, Lucy turned off the bedside light and walked out of the ward.

   The sound of car horns was constantly heard on the road in the distance. Only the houses around the hospital were dark, and everyone else had fled for their lives. Only she was the only one who enjoyed a quiet corner, as if she had been forgotten by the world.

   Escape for life...

  Thinking of this, Lucy felt a little nervous in her heart.

  I wonder if she and Peter also have a chance to escape?

  ‘Forget it, don’t think about it…’

   Lucy forcibly controlled herself, but if she didn't want this, she would naturally think of another.

Her husband and her unannounced son just popped up in her mind, and as soon as these two popped up, she wanted to meet them, and then it came back to whether she could escape from Washington, and it was all about it. an endless loop...

   The wind blew past the window, making a ghostly cry.

   Lucy was taken aback, and after regaining her senses, she tightened her clothes and prepared to go back to the ward.

   At this moment, out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly saw a strong light coming in from the window. At this moment, she felt as if she saw the sun, and instinctively narrowed her eyes and blocked it with her hand.

   This is definitely some kind of big car high beam!

   This was the first thought that popped into Lucy's mind.

   But the next second, she shuddered like an electric shock.

High beam?

  This is... someone is coming? !
