"Abnormal weather! Is CW-7 really the culprit behind all this?!"
"The greatest disaster in human history!"
"The number of people hostage on the Wilford train has been confirmed to be over 1200..."
"Inadequate rescue efforts have led to a plunge in temperature in multiple locations, resulting in several deaths!"
"The energy supply system is on the verge of collapse, and gasoline prices are skyrocketing..."
The newspaper fell to the ground along with the snow.
A tired man in a firefighter's uniform picked it up and glanced at it, noticing a string of bad news.
This is still yesterday's news; it hasn't been reported for today yet.
What on earth happened?!
As someone who works diligently, doesn't pay excessive attention to environmental protection, and has no interest in traveling the world by train, Abel finds it hard to understand what is really happening in the world.
I don't understand why the whole world suddenly became like this.
He was at home enjoying the air conditioning and eating watermelon!
Why the sudden change to a fireplace?!
Global temperature drop!
This is a term that has been frequently mentioned in the media and online over the past two days.
No one is defending the CW-7 anymore; almost everyone agrees that it is the primary cause of global cooling.
This inference may be true or it may be false, but it has no practical application.
The reality is that people are freezing to death every day.
Although those extremely cold air masses will be directly dispersed by a terrifying plasma jet, the overall cooling of the atmosphere is already terrifying enough.
The average temperature in North America has now dropped to 5 degrees Celsius, with some areas even below zero.
Some places have never experienced such low temperatures before.
For example, Florida...
The Wandering Earth on the street were also unable to withstand the cold.
To date, Abel has recovered the bodies of over a dozen the Wandering Earth during his rescue efforts; all of them died in the cold.
"We need more men. I only have thirty under my command right now, which is far from enough. I need at least a hundred, two hundred... and more equipment and medicine! And damn it, we need more gasoline; our vehicles are almost out of gas..."
Abel saw his captain making a phone call next to him, arguing with his superior and asking for this and that.
He had seen the captain make phone calls more than once in the past two days.
talk.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
Departments at all levels were practically paralyzed, unable to take any effective measures.
Mather, who had previously officiated the CW-7 emissions ceremony with great fanfare, hasn't even shown his face since the disaster...
I don't know if the person is already dead.
Abel assumed Mather's situation with the utmost malice.
But Mather is not only not dead, he is actually in a good mood.
He has arrived at the shelter.
This underground base has a perfect small-scale ecological cycle system, which can easily withstand extreme environments such as nuclear explosions and lack of oxygen, and low temperatures are no problem for it.
After restarting the facility, Mather also brought in a large amount of supplies, enough to last for over seventy years.
Even if the Earth remains frozen in the future, he can spend the rest of his life in this base.
"Very good, very good."
After making a show of inspecting the base, Mather suddenly stroked his chin and turned to his secretary, asking, "Is there any other important work I haven't finished?"
The secretary paused for a moment, then immediately replied, "Yes, sir."
Mather slapped his forehead. "I'm so damn stupid, I think I have to get all of this sorted out right now and give everyone a perfect answer..."
His eyes darted around.
He immediately said:
"Then let's get started right away."
The military officer standing next to Mather was somewhat taken aback.
"Sir, this isn't a suitable place to work. I can drive you to a nearby hotel right away, where you can work from your car."
Mather coughed twice, giving the official a subtle glare. "In my opinion, there is no place unsuitable for working. Many people are waiting for me, and I must respond to them immediately."
The secretary, observing all this, seemed to understand something, but ultimately remained silent, simply taking the documents with her.
Mather casually found a table and began handling official business with a look of relief on his face.
Then, he immediately saw a document that surprised him:
What's going on?
"A super-powerful plasma jet, resembling an alien weapon, has appeared in our sky?"
"And it can also directly heat cold air masses?"
Staring at the documents in his hand, Mather fell into a daze.
Is this an alien invasion of Earth?
Secretary
The person beside him said, "I reported this news to you as soon as possible..."
oh oh!
Mather remembered; he had indeed heard of it, but at the time he was so focused on preparing the shelter that he hadn't paid any attention and hadn't even heard the whole report.
Thinking of this, Mather coughed awkwardly twice and asked about the follow-up in a perfunctory manner.
The secretary said, "Currently, these strange plasma jets are still active all over the world; they can be seen whenever a super-strong cold air mass appears."
"This must be a man-made phenomenon; it could be a kind of weather weapon..."
The secretary relayed the advisory group's views one by one.
"This must have been done by someone!"
At the same moment, Cheng Wanli also received the latest news.
He had previously tasked other countries with investigating the strange black armored convoy that appeared alongside the plasma jets.
Preliminary results have already been received.
In Bangkok, AI was used to thoroughly investigate all surveillance footage from the night the plasma jet appeared, and sure enough, a black armored convoy similar to those in China was discovered.
The convoy appeared silently, and then disappeared just as silently.
It's as if it never existed in this world...
The combination of the two surveillance videos creates a chilling effect.
It's like encountering a ghost in broad daylight.
"Are these aliens appearing on our planet for the first time? Could they have already been lurking on Earth for some time?"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this guess.
Even Cheng Wanli was the same.
However, he quickly calmed down:
"Regardless, judging from the current outcome, these 'people' are our friends; they clearly want to prevent a catastrophic weather disaster."
"They are helping us."
It's a bit strange to use something that appears to be a super-powerful plasma cannon, capable of easily annihilating all matter, to help people.
It inevitably brings to mind the merciful Gatling gun...
Just then, someone opened the conference room door and hurriedly brought a message:
We received a strange broadcast!
The assistant who came in turned on the computer, and after a few quick operations, a young man's voice soon filled the conference room:
"This is the Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society..."
