Chapter 274 When the Sunshine Falls Again

  One billion!

   Although everyone already has a hazy guess in their hearts, this number is still too scary.

   Someone expressed an opinion in a deep voice: "This is definitely the most serious casualty accident since Dimension 2, and most importantly, it could have been avoided!"

   Zhang Tianyuan also sighed.

   He still felt a pity in his heart that 100 million lives were buried in vain by Baker and the others.

   If it weren't for this time-space being too urgent, he and other time-spaces might have a way to save these people.

   But the time was urgent before, and Baker and the others couldn’t get in, so we had to go with it…

   But with such a large number of deaths, it's no wonder that Baker and the others are on the Happy Convoy—

  Only the dead are the best tools for taking the blame.

  After sighing, everyone still had to return to the topic.

   "Let's report the situation outside North America as well."

   "Okay, judging from the current information, the number of people killed in disasters in various countries mainly comes from people who refuse to enter the shelter..."

  The secretary of the conference opened the table and projected it on the screen, and began to explain the situation in other areas.

  Compared to North America, other regions are not perfect. Every country reports the estimated number of deaths, but the number is nothing compared to 100 million, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

   The country with the largest number of deaths is also expected to have "only" one million deaths, which is about one percent of North America.

  Because of the presence of North American Jewels in front, everyone at the meeting felt that their actions this time seemed to have done a good job.

   After estimating the death toll, Zhang Tianyuan and Zhong Lao also discussed the future development of North America.

   100 million people died, and they were frozen to death.

   The scene over there is probably even worse than the legendary time and space.

  The catastrophe may end in a few days, but a bigger catastrophe may have just begun, and Baker and their deaths are far from enough to end it all...

   "Wait, now the show has just begun."

  …

the next day.

The first time Parker woke up, he was looking down at the earth through the window of the International Space Station. Just when he thought he would see a pure white earth that seemed to be filled with fluffy cream, just as he did a few days ago, his eyes suddenly caught a touch of blue. color.

Ok?

   Parker's heartbeat slowed by two beats. After making sure he read it correctly, he hurriedly called his companion:

   "I think you should come and see, Storm..."

   "The storm clouds seem to be starting to dissipate!"

   The other two astronauts also just woke up, and after hearing his cry, they both crawled over from other modules on their hands and feet.

   The three of them watched the earth slowly recovering its blue sky.

  The previous layer of storm clouds that covered almost the entire northern hemisphere has now disappeared at least half.

   "We should get the news back right away!"

   Parker returned to the front of the console, picked up the microphone and was ready to contact the ground.

  Fortunately, the latitude of Houston is less than 30 degrees north latitude, and the low latitude coupled with the particularity of the institution, so the people here are still working in the cold.

  Houston quickly responded to Parker's call and listened to his report.

   "Houston received, while you were still sleeping, we had obtained the information through other channels and sent it to the temporary command center, thank you for your contributions."

   "Other channels?" Parker was a little surprised.

   "Yes, other channels, after all, there is another space station flying in the sky."

   Parker got it.

   After hanging up the communication, he went back to the window and shrugged to the other two colleagues: "Our credit has been robbed..."

   The other two are not surprising.

   "This is normal, they are much more advanced than us, and it is said that there are hundreds of people working on it, and there are people on duty every time period."

   "Every time I meet them, I feel like we're driving an old Beetle."

   "Maybe after this disaster, space stations like ours will be retired..."

New York.

  Jack was hugging a wool rug, huddled with his son Sam, and the two of them and the rest of the library were asleep by this time.

   After the storm hit at noon yesterday, they didn't feel anything at first, but half an hour later, they felt a distinct chill.

   That is definitely not a psychological effect.

   At a low temperature of close to minus one hundred degrees, even if several rooms are piled up with coal, it cannot guarantee such a large-scale heating.

   Luckily the low temperature didn't extinguish the coal pile, it just lowered the temperature, so they survived and got through the night.

   Dong Dong Dong!

   A violent knock on the door rang in the silent environment, and Jack and the others suddenly woke up.

   Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the rescuers in protective suits open the door directly, got up from the outside, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the whole house.

   "Everyone wake up, now that the storm has passed temporarily, we have to take this opportunity to move..."

   The people who were still confused just now were refreshed when they heard these words, and they all stood up and walked towards the door.

  The rescuers left the lights on, and after checking the house to confirm that no one could sleep for a long time, they went to other houses to call for people.

  Sam grabbed Laura's men and followed the crowd out slowly.

  Jack stood behind the young couple, answering Brian and J.D's questions about meteorological study, and did not forget to stress again—

   "The 21st century of our time and space is destined to be the century of meteorology!"

   turned the winding road, and after half an hour, Jack and his party lined up and climbed out of a gap in the window.

   Only then did they realize that most of the clouds in the sky had dissipated, and the golden sunlight had passed through the atmosphere and filled the world again. Under the reflection of the snow, the warm tones dyed the whole world with warmth.

   "The storm has stopped!"

   "We really survived!?"

Many people couldn't control their excitement and rushed towards the direction of the sun, as if to chase the sun, and then they fell into the snow before taking a few steps, unable to move, calling for other people to come to the rescue, causing a furore. .

   Not far away, the Mutual Rescue Association's sled team dragged their horns and passed on the snow: "The storm is over, please all surviving people leave the shelter in time, and gather near the rescue team to prepare to evacuate..."

   Every time these sleds pass a building, there will be a little movement in the building, and then like a hibernating animal, one person after another emerges from it.

  Jack took Sam's shoulders, took a deep breath, and looked at the golden sun in the sky:

   "Come on, we're going home."
