Chapter 11: Disaster Strikes

August 9th

Three days after the emergency alert was issued

At 10:25 in the morning in Yanjing, a massive meteorite fell from the sky and crashed directly into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, causing an endless tsunami.

Terrifying waves swept in all directions!

Earthquakes shook the entire world!

Several tall buildings collapsed and countless people were trapped under the rubble.

The earth cracked, heavy rain, flash floods, blocked roads, and tsunamis!

Countries around the world were suddenly caught in a desperate situation. Countless people died in this natural disaster and countless coastal cities were devastated.

Water and power cuts, network failures!

Human life became extremely fragile at this moment.

Standing in the headquarters on the first floor of the shelter, Jiro also felt the aftershocks again and again. In this national panic, only he could barely maintain his composure.

There is a huge electronic screen hanging on the wall of the headquarters!

At this moment, the screen is divided into twelve screens and displays real-time surveillance from various places.

These images were naturally transmitted by Adam.

Although the network has been interrupted in many places, there are still networks in most places and Adam's capacity has not been greatly limited.

"Adam, how is the disaster this time?" Jiro asked.

Adam quickly responded, "The shockwave from the tsunami caused by the meteorite impact has exceeded level 12. Currently, it has swept through 525 coastal cities. The damage to buildings and casualties cannot be calculated. The most affected area is near Namibia, swallowed by the sea!"

"On the electronic screen, the latest video from the area quickly appeared!

Jiro could clearly see 100-meter-high waves sweeping!

Countless buildings, houses, and trees were knocked down, and countless people screamed and were engulfed. The scene was terrifying.

"The intensity of the earthquake at the meteorite landing site has exceeded 11!" Adam continued. "The Atlantic continent has suffered 6,000 kilometers of rock fractures and 55 meters of plate displacement, and 12 cities have been swallowed by the fractures."

"The powerful shockwave from the meteorite also triggered 13 strong typhoons and caused 135 volcanic eruptions. Tens of thousands of tons of volcanic ash exploded into the sky, causing a great impact on the global air."

"These volcanic ashes will increase the concentration in the atmosphere in the coming years, not only polluting the global air, but eventually, the temperature will continue to rise, icebergs will melt, and sea levels will rise."

"Whistle!"

Jiro gasped in shock.

The data seemed sparse and ordinary.

But the damage suffered by Blue Star is unimaginable.

No wonder some scientists estimate that the era of dinosaurs perished because of meteorites.

The impact of this meteorite disaster is simply incalculable.

"Wait, that's not right!" Jiro frowned and asked, "The volcanic ash in the atmosphere should block sunlight and only reduce global temperature, so why is the temperature increasing?"

Adam explained, "A small amount of volcanic ash diffuses into the atmosphere, which blocks sunlight and makes the temperature drop, but when the concentration of volcanic ash is too high, it will be counterproductive."

"Currently, the solar spot is extremely unstable. In the future, under the cover of volcanic ash, plant photosynthesis will be greatly affected, carbon dioxide will gradually increase, and the blue star will become a sultry sphere. The temperature increase is also inevitable."

"I see!"

Jiro smiled bitterly. Although he had already experienced all of this in the game, it was the first time he had heard about the principle.

"How is Dongjiang city now?" Jiro continued to ask.

"The disaster situation in Dongjiang city is not serious," Adam replied. "Currently, there are landslides of varying degrees in the main mountain ranges in the suburbs. The earthquake in the urban area caused the collapse of some high-rise buildings, and the roads are blocked to varying degrees."

"The situation of water and power cuts increases one after another. Relevant departments are evacuating people. A large number of people are gathering in the main shelters. The casualties cannot be calculated at the moment."

As Adam explained, he showed several images monitored by Dongjiang city.

In the images, it could be seen that the relevant departments had quickly invested in earthquake relief work, and many soldiers had also been sent to the urban area to maintain order and rescue the victims.

Many people were also spontaneously helping each other.

Many people were desperately digging through the rubble to save people.

The predicted chaos did not last long!

Unfortunately, all of this would be in vain.

Once the zombie virus ravages, this rare scene will be in vain.

Facing an endless army of zombies, it will no longer be possible for anyone to have the ability to rescue others, and it will be impossible to have an organized rescue operation.

"Master, look, there has been a leak in this upper laboratory in northern Europe, and the mother of the zombie virus is spreading through the air," Adam reminded again, and the image on the big screen flashed.

It turned into a chaotic scene of an underground laboratory.

He saw an unknown gas can escaping, all laboratory personnel had died, and the virus was spreading everywhere with the air.

"This unknown virus strain is extremely mutated and terribly contagious," Adam said. "Its main variant will be inactive in the infected person for three to seven days and, finally, there will be a large-scale outbreak worldwide. The vast majority of humans and animals will be infected."

"Shit!" Jiro let out a sigh of exhaustion.

Of course, he knew.

It is clearly recorded in the game that the zombie virus broke out seven days after the meteorite fell, and then it would be the true natural disaster of the end of the world.

"Adam, send this message anonymously to the whole country," Jiro ordered silently. "Send it to any place that can receive a mobile phone signal. Although it may not help much, it can always give everyone a sense of peace!"

"Yes!" said Adam and quickly complied.

Immediately afterwards, news of the zombie virus quietly spread throughout the country and quickly caused a great uproar.
