Chapter 275 Epilogue Aftermath

"ended!"

   "We were rescued!"

  Not only in New York, but also in major cities in the north, people kept emerging from snow-buried houses, looking at the sun outside with tears in their eyes.

  Whether it is a frail old man, a frightened child, or a tired young man, at this time, everyone sheds tears, even if they are frozen...

Almost at the same time as these people appeared, the figures of various rescue teams also bubbled up in the city again. Like the rescue team in New York, they drove a sleigh and carried a simple, tattered and identical horn in the city. Drive through and wake up the survivors one by one.

   After half a day of preparation, the survivors in New York finally ushered in the evacuation. They sat in sleigh cars, left Manhattan, went to Staten Island, and left there by car.

   This is because the New York City area has been completely frozen, and the ice surface simply cannot withstand dozens of tons of vehicles.

   In this regard, no one has an opinion. Even those who are pampered will learn to cherish the moment after being beaten by society and nature in the past few days.

   It’s not bad to be alive, what else do you need a bike for?

   A lot of people who couldn't wait and couldn't get a seat even picked up a group and walked together through the frozen port, slowly heading to Staten Island.

  Jack's sleigh was given to two couples with children, and he and Sam decided to walk there.

   They randomly found two boards and tied them to their shoes, and set off on the road.

   Then, they saw corpses everywhere on the road, and even a few meters of thick snow could not bury them all.

   They are wading in the snow, and when they are walking, they feel like they have kicked a branch or a stone under the snow.

  In this case, they are 100% sure that they have encountered the body of a deceased person.

  Some good-hearted people also want to dig these corpses out of the snow and find another place to put them in, but the more they dig, the more corpses under the snow, and the more tragic the death of the corpses.

   Generally speaking, the corpses on the top are frozen to death, and these corpses are divided into those killed by low temperature storms and those killed by normal freezing.

  The people who were killed by the storm died in the moment before they were alive, so their postures did not change in time, and they still maintained their actions before death.

   The corpse that was normally frozen to death had a painful face, and all the clothes were taken off before dying.

   If you dig further down, you will find the corpses that died in the tsunami. The faces of these corpses are extremely hideous.

   Continuing down, there are people who died in the turbulent stage, those who were killed by guns, those who were killed by cold weapons, and even those who were strangled to death…

  The thick snow and ice are like the site of the excavation of cultural relics. In just a few days, one “cultural layer” has been formed. Only through the bodies found in each layer, you can know what happened at that time.

  The horror of being buried under the snow made everyone turn pale, and the terrified survivors didn't dare to dig again after a while.

   There are more corpses under the snow than there are sweet potatoes in the ground, and it is impossible to dig it out!

  Jack looked at this scene and sighed in disappointment.

   If they could have taken refuge as soon as possible like other countries, maybe such a scene would not have happened?

Ugh!

   "Sam, let's go, don't look any further."

  Jack patted Sam and continued to rush to Staten Island with him and other friends.

  …

  Scotland.

  Although it is afternoon, Professor Ribson and the others are soundly asleep, trapped in the snow, they have nothing to do, so they can only sleep more normally.

   "Hu-lu!"

   "Hur-lu-"

   Only rhythmic grunts could be heard in the car.

  Professor Ribson slowly opened his eyes. There was only a small light in the dim car. He fumbled to find his glasses, then scratched his hair and walked towards the windshield of the car.

   He felt like there was a rustling sound coming in, so he wanted to go over and see if it was his illusion...

   But the further he walked towards the front of the car, the clearer the sound.

until-

brush!

"Is anyone here?"

  The snow accumulated on the car window was suddenly removed, and the light from the flashlight came in from the outside through the glass.

  Professor Ribson reacted immediately!

   is human!

  Someone came to save them!

   "Here here..."

   He hurriedly faced the light and rushed to the front of the glass to tap with his hands, for fear that the glass was one-way and he could not be seen outside.

   But as soon as he knocked twice, the outside responded and knocked twice:

   "We got it, wait a minute, we're clearing the way for you, right? There are no casualties? I think you just reported the trapped situation before."

   "No, no!" Professor Ribosen, an old man, jumped in the driver's seat with excitement.

   At this moment, the others who were sleeping soundly behind also woke up.

   Bob, who belongs to the rescue team, came over and calmed Professor Ribson: "It's okay, they have always known our location. Now the storm outside should have stopped, so they came over."

  Professor Ribson slowly calmed down, sat down and watched the people who came to rescue them outside pushed the snow around the car away and made a way through the snow.

   Then Bob drove the vehicle, slowly exited from the current position, turned into the opponent's convoy, and then followed the driving car in front of him and continued to drive to the shelter.

   Looking at the thick snow walls on both sides, the afterglow of the setting sun hanging on the horizon, dyeing the snowflakes a golden color, the three people in the car felt relieved.

  The car drove all the way until midnight. Professor Ribson and the others finally arrived at Refuge 97 in Scotland. Their family members were already waiting at the gate, and they immediately greeted them when they got out of the car.

  The three families were in tears and hugged tightly together in excitement.

   at the same time.

  Jack and Sam also got on the latest evacuation train from Staten Island and headed south.

   But unlike Professor Ribson.

  The mood of the people in the car is numb or even a lot lower.

  After they were out of danger, the survivors in North America thought of their family and friends for the first time.

   Worried about whether they too survived the disaster.

  Jack and Sam worry about Lucy.

   Brian and Laura and J.D's equally caring family and friends.

  Especially J.D, who has been inquiring since he arrived in Staten Island, his younger brother was still in boarding school in Philadelphia before the disaster...

   After listening to his words, Chen Song, who had a relationship with Jack, said that he could hand him over to the local rescue team when passing through Philadelphia, where he could continue to look for his younger brother.

  Philadelphia is roughly halfway between New York and Washington, so if they head south, they're bound to pass nearby, which isn't much of a hassle.

  In addition to J.D, there are also many other people who want to get off the bus to find their relatives and friends, and Chen Song's treatment of these people is quite consistent.

   If you are on the way, put it down, and if you don’t, you will be forcibly taken back to the emergency evacuation area in the south.

   So during the next evacuation journey, people left and joined the team from time to time.

   In a world of ice and snow, everyone can only hug themselves tightly and arrive at the refuge area on the border in a crouched posture.

After    got out of the car, Sam had to temporarily separate from Laura, and then followed his father Jack on the road to find his mother.

  In the vast refuge area, there are refugees and soldiers with guns everywhere, and sometimes a convoy of mutual aid will be seen coming from afar.

  The impression of the two fathers and sons here is only one word—

chaos!

   But fortunately, Jack is an organized person anyway.

   So he inquired several times, and soon found out the location of the Weather Bureau.

   Now the entire weather bureau can say that there is no one who does not know Jack. With this face, Jack got what he wanted to see the old boss Tom.

   He took his son's hand and gave each other a brief introduction: "This is your other godfather and father's boss Tom..."

   "This is my son Tom, he survived in New York!"

  Tom was obviously very surprised by the visit of the two. He had no idea that the father and son actually came back from New York alive. The moment they just met, he even thought it was a ghost.

  After being surprised, Tom was a little ashamed again, and he didn't even bother to talk about his new "son", but coughed twice while avoiding his eyes.

  Jack also noticed something was wrong at this time. He asked Sam to go outside the room first, and then asked Lucy's whereabouts.

  Tom told the truth: "...it was too messy, and I was too busy, Lucy didn't have much contact with me, I...I completely forgot about her."

Snapped!

  Jack slapped his forehead.

   He couldn't blame Tom for this, he knew that the old boss was definitely not busy during this time.

   He could only hate his own carelessness.

  Tom hurriedly remedied: "You can go to the broadcast office to post a missing person notice, or you can go to the office to make a request to find your relatives. There are many people like you now."

   "Don't worry too much about Jack, we evacuated a lot of people from New York, maybe Lucy is in there..."

  Jack rubbed his face with his hands: "This is the only way."

   He walked out of the room and briefly explained the situation to Sam, and then the two went to the broadcast office and the office to leave messages.

  Tom is right, there are too many people like them now.

   Even in the middle of the night, the registration information queue was hundreds of meters. The two fathers and sons queued in the morning to receive the registration form, and then waited until noon to hand in the form.

   Then they entered a long waiting period. In addition to waiting, they could only choose to search in the refuge area by themselves. This method also had little hope.

   But they, and others who have lost touch with friends and relatives, have no other options.

   In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

   The storm swept across the northern hemisphere has basically subsided, but the temperature that has fallen has not risen back, and the snow on the ground has not yet melted.

   But as long as it is tightly packed, even without the protective clothing of wandering time and space, human beings can still be active in the outside world.

   It is under such circumstances that officials at home and abroad have begun to send out reconnaissance teams to search for and rescue possible survivors, and to check the disaster situation at various important locations.

  The most important area is the various storage warehouses.

  Before the disaster, Cosmos Space-Time paid a lot of materials to support evacuation and disaster relief operations. It was with the support of these materials that countries were able to devote themselves to the migration of people without considering logistics.

  According to the agreement, after the storm is over, Houtian Space-Time will immediately repay the equivalent materials to Rim Space-Time.

  Although the current situation is difficult, all countries can distinguish the importance and the importance. Knowing that this debt cannot be delayed, they immediately opened their own warehouses and dragged out the materials in them to prepare for handing them back.

  Some countries that are indeed facing great difficulties also communicated with Zhang Tianyuan and Ning Jihua through Zhong Lao's channel. After negotiation, they converted the materials into arrears and then agreed on a repayment date...

  In addition to these, there are also a lot of matters, such as the relocation of people, the restart of production work in various fields, and so on.

   Of these, of particular importance are industry and agriculture.

   And among these two fields, agriculture is the most important.

   "With the current temperature and meteorological conditions, agricultural production in the future will certainly face unprecedented challenges. Even in the southern hemisphere and low-latitude regions that were less affected by this disaster, the future development is also not optimistic..."

   "Some people say that the disaster is over, but in my opinion that is not the case. Now is the real beginning of the disaster."

   In the future agricultural development work conference held by Mr. Zhong, all the participants frowned, and they were unable to express the sorrow and crisis in their hearts.

  People always have to eat, and growing food from the ground is the most convenient and cheapest method.

  The current climate change has greatly affected the stability of agriculture.

  The land in the north is difficult to replant now and in the future, and the low-latitude countries and the southern hemisphere are not sure what disasters will happen in those places in the future.

   Changes in the climate system affect the entire planet.

  The southern hemisphere and the equator are a part of it, and it is impossible to escape.

   Maybe in another year and a half, it will be replaced by super storms in these places?

   Therefore, it is still unclear whether these places are suitable for agricultural production.

   Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Chunshi attended the meeting as representatives of the Mutual Rescue Association and meteorological science, and listened to the whole meeting.

   Liu Chunshi also explained to the audience the expected future climate development trends and the recent weather forecasts in various places, including some disturbing situations.

  For example, typhoons began to appear frequently at sea, and the frequency and time were completely out of line with the past...

   Zhang Tianyuan was thinking silently about how to break the game. Although many people secretly paid attention to him, he didn't say a word until the end of the meeting.

   This made everyone who paid attention to him a little disappointed.

   In addition, after the meeting, Zhang Tianyuan also learned a piece of news from Zhong Lao:

   "The other side has sent someone over now and wants to meet me?"

   "They, want to join the Mutual Rescue Association?"
