This Is Two Hundred and Fifty Times Two

"Wait, what was the name of the newly appointed mine owner again?"

"Matt Simpson, a member of the Simpson Family, and currently the most outstanding member of his Simpson Family. He is highly regarded by the elders, which is why he became a leader of a mine before the age of thirty-five."

After the other party finished speaking, Suika immediately followed up.

"Has he only been here for two days, and he already has a wife, three sons, and a daughter?"

"How did you know?" the person asked, looking surprised after Suika finished speaking.

Suika touched her nose. "Okay, it's someone I know."

"Didn't I mention before that Rim Billiton? I hitched a ride with them all the way to Steel Carrot City before we parted ways."

"Haha, what a coincidence, Ms. Suika." The Catastrophe Messenger burst into laughter after hearing Suika's words.

"By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know your name?" Suika looked at the person.

"My name is a bit long, well, you can just call me George, or you can call me 'the guy who goes out on adventures' like my friends do," George said with a smile.

Suika nodded; she had seen that the other person say that in anecdotes about Rim Billiton.

Because the Cautus people are very prolific, a single family can become quite large as long as it survives.

In the harsh and remote environment of Rim Billiton, most people are not highly educated and only know a limited number of characters and names. Therefore, if you call out a name in a family, you might suddenly find more than a dozen people with the same name.

Moreover, because there were so many people, he couldn't remember the names of any of the other family members.

Therefore, most of them like to call each other by nicknames, like the guy in front of us. Because he is Catastrophe Messenger and may often go out alone, he is called the "guy who goes out to explore".

Some people have been propelled into the air by geysers while taking a bath, earning them the nickname "Flying Water Spouter." Meanwhile, an experienced chef skilled at flipping pancakes with both hands simultaneously is known as "Holding Two Pans."

This situation is quite common within their ranks.

However, since Suika was an outsider, she still chose to call him George.

The next morning, the two set off south together.

On the way, George was still explaining the mine to Suika.

Through his introduction, Suika learned that the platform and mining area belonged entirely to the Simpson Family.

Everyone in the mine, from top to bottom, believed in Simpson.

Each mine owner is appointed by the council of elders after the previous one steps down.

It can be described as a completely family-owned business.

"Hmm, so you're also from the Simpson family?"

Suika looked at George.

"I'm not, but my wife is."

I was born into a small family, but I left the family for some reason and later came to the Simpson family.

I was fortunate to meet my wife, and with her encouragement, I studied and eventually embarked on the path of Catastrophe Messenger.

It's fair to say that everything I am is inseparable from the Simpson Family and my wife, so I am now the family's Catastrophe Messenger, serving the family's several mining areas.

George stated this quite frankly.

"That's not bad either. I think the position of Catastrophe Messenger is quite prestigious in Rim Billiton," Suika said, recalling what happened in the last Mobile Block.

"That's right. Due to the frequent Catastrophe, Rim Billiton has a great need for Catastrophe Messenger."

This also gives the Catastrophe Messenger a relatively high status here.

However, the danger here is also greater than elsewhere. As far as I know, several Catastrophe Messenger die in one of the Catastrophe every year among Rim Billiton's colleagues."

Although George spoke in a dangerous tone, his tone never showed any hesitation or backing down, and you could tell that he enjoyed and loved his job.

As darkness fell, the two arrived outside the Simpson Family compound.

Just as they were about to go inside, Suika glanced at the horizon and then pulled George back.

"What?" George asked.

Suika pointed to the sky to the south. It was dark and visibility was limited. In addition, the bright lights in the area attracted almost all attention, so even though George looked in the direction Suika was pointing, he didn't see anything.

"Look at the clouds in the sky, their folded shapes... they're very similar to the Catastrophe Cloud I know."

Suika's expression was somewhat serious.

Upon hearing Suika's words, George immediately held his breath and looked south.

He quickly saw clearly the cloud formation that Suika had mentioned.

At this time, the clouds had not yet fully formed and appeared somewhat thin, which most people would probably overlook.

In other words, Catastrophe Messenger will take note of these unusually shaped cloud formations.

George made a judgment quickly

"It is indeed a forming Catastrophe Cloud. Based on its size and location, a small Catastrophe will occur in the area five to ten kilometers to the south."

The exact timing cannot be determined yet, but the distance is too close. If a disaster relocates or escalates into a medium or large-scale Catastrophe, it could easily affect the mines here. The Mobile Block must be moved at least twenty kilometers north."

After speaking, George, a local and Catastrophe Messenger, quickly headed towards the Mobile Block.

"There are telephones inside the block, and there are several other mines and villages nearby. We must contact them immediately to evacuate and relocate."

Suika followed him quickly to the entrance/exit.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, the guard saw the two and was about to greet George in front of them.

With a grave expression, he shouted, "Please inform the owner of the Matt mine. I'm waiting for him in my office. It's a Class II emergency Catastrophe."

Upon hearing George's words, the guards at the gate quickly opened the gate and let the two men into the city.

Then Suika saw someone running quickly towards the town center.

George led her to an office not far from the entrance/exit.

After entering, Suika glanced around the room. There were many books and equipment inside, and in front of the telephone that George was using, there was a piece of paper covered with phone numbers.

Chapter 500 This is two hundred and fifty times two

Just as Suika was looking around the room, George had already picked up the phone and started calling someone.

As he made one call after another, Suika couldn't help but admire him.

Catastrophe are dangers that can cause panic anywhere.

Despite the danger, George's actions appeared remarkably methodical.

A short while later, the door was pushed open again.

Matt walked in and was about to speak when he saw Suika sitting to the side with a strange smile.

Upon seeing Suika, Matt gave an awkward laugh, and seeing that George was still on the phone, he sat down next to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you who I was on the way."

Suika shook her head

"I understood when George mentioned you guys on the way here."

In Rim Billiton, those who can afford an off-road vehicle are not ordinary people.

Moreover, your children are quite well-mannered; it's clear they weren't raised in a typical large family's public school.

Moreover, neither you nor your wife have skin or nails like miners who work underground year-round.

The problem lies with me for not noticing these anomalies.

Overall, it's because I don't interact with people enough.

I've learned quite a bit from it.

Hearing what Suika said, Matt became even more embarrassed.

Just then, George hung up the phone.

"I have notified my colleagues in the vicinity, and we will work together to observe this Catastrophe."

Tribes and Mobile Block that are close together will begin to relocate under the cover of night.

"Steel Carrot City will also send people to provide support."

"Didn't you say that, based on your experience, this was just a minor Catastrophe? Was it really necessary to make such a big commotion?"

After George finished speaking, Suika raised her hand and asked.

"Because this is Rim Billiton, a place with the largest Originium mine in all of Terra and the harshest Catastrophe environment."

Although the current observations are small-scale, no one can guarantee that the Catastrophe will not change as time goes on and Originium activity increases.

We have paid a heavy price countless times for underestimating the importance of this.

Therefore, there will be no ambiguity regarding Catastrophe early warning.

George answered seriously.

"One more thing, I just looked at the approximate area of this Catastrophe you drew."

Here, according to the exploration team's calculations, the closest point of the underground vein is less than 300 meters from the surface.

Matt pointed to a spot in the middle of the circle George had drawn on the map and said...

"Didn't you just arrive?" Suika, somewhat surprised.

Matt said with some pride

"Before I came here, I reviewed all the exploration data from the past ten years of exploration in this area and wrote it all down."

"Awesome!"

Suika gave a thumbs up.

She simply can't compare to this kind of academic genius without any special advantages.

George discussing it, the three of them decided to go to the rooftop to continue observing the Catastrophe.

After all, as things stand, this is the Firstborn stage of Catastrophe, and there is still some time before it reaches its growth and outbreak stages.

The changes in weather and other factors during this period are well worth studying.

Matt looked at Suika.

"Miss Suika, would you like to stay at my house for a while?"

My little girl, Lainie, misses you very much.

Suika nodded. "Okay."

Although Matt and his family concealed their identities from him on the street, he himself was also hiding quite a few things.

Besides, it's foolish to open up to a complete stranger you've only just met.

There are bound to be people envious of someone like Matt who came here to become a mine owner.

If it were me, for the safety of my family, I wouldn't accept anyone on the street.

But in reality, they even gave themselves a ride on the way.

If I had harbored ill intentions, this family would already be dead in some desolate wilderness.

So you can tell that they are all good people.

Suika also enjoys interacting with good people.

Naturally, she wouldn't refuse Matt's invitation.

Matt breathed a sigh of relief when Suika agreed.

He seemed quite pleased that Suika didn't blame him for their concealment.

After saying goodbye to George, the two went to his home there.

"Little Lainie, look who Daddy brought!"

As soon as he entered, Matt said to Lainie, who was jogging over.

When Lainie saw Suika behind Matt, she first screamed, then rushed over and hugged Suika's neck.

"Sister Suika, mua~"
