crisis management game.

Chapter 151: Early Warning Preparation
Gu Ji hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.

The whole town is like a doomsday. Thousands of black birds are like a flood, sweeping over the city, making sharp noises at the same time, it looks like a "dark cloud" that is constantly changing in shape, and there are passers-by around They began to take out their mobile phones to take pictures, while some passers-by put their hands together and began to pray.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream came.

A black bird couldn't dodge in time, hit an old black electric pole, fell to the ground, blood the size of peas splashed all around, splashed, another black bird hit the window on the top floor of the small building, torn apart The glass fell to the ground and was smashed into smaller pieces. A dozen birds fell through the bushes, spread their wings, flew close to the ground, and flew through the crowd, scaring the passing vehicles and passers-by into panic. Keep screaming.

Gu Ji looked down and saw the dead bird carcasses, including blackbirds, gray starlings and silky starlings.

Bird flocks migrate on a large scale.

It could be a territorial crisis, vandalism, seasonal migration, or a change in the weather.

But the possibility of the former two is very low. When he came to Assam to investigate his father’s plane crash, he saw with his own eyes the large nature reserves and jungles in the north. The forest area accounts for almost 21% of the state’s total area; seasonal migration is in line with , the beginning of October is autumn, which belongs to alternate seasons, but so many birds crashed into buildings and died, plus a series of screams, it can only explain one point:
Tottori is in a state of panic and is in a hurry to dodge something!
As we all know, animals are more aware of unusual changes in the environment than humans. For example, elephants can predict the coming of a storm, and mice can avoid mine collapses in advance. All animals are heralding the coming of disaster.

Now tigers appear in towns and frightened birds migrate in mass;

Naturally, it also shows that extreme disasters are likely to occur in the Assam region!

Gu Ji returned to the car and took out his mobile phone, and began to check the phone numbers of the Assam Meteorological Department. Fortunately, these government departments have their own official operating websites, so he immediately dialed the minister's hotline.

"Hi sir, this is the hotline of the minister of the Assam Meteorological Department. Thank you for your call. I am Rao, the operator of the minister's hotline. I am very happy to serve you. Before the consultation begins, sir, could I trouble you to let me know your name?"

"Vidi Dali!"

"Sir, may I ask which letter it is, Deli or Da..."

The call was quickly connected to a young man, but what Gu Ji couldn't understand was that the other party seemed to express his enthusiasm with an exaggerated and devilish tone, and he spoke very slowly. He always had to confirm a question repeatedly. I almost died in a hurry.

So much so that before the other party finished speaking, Gu Ji interrupted:
"I am an investigator of the Department of Agriculture. When I went out to investigate this afternoon, I found a Bengal tiger in Dispur County. I have..."

"Mr. Vidi, if there is a wild animal attack, you need to contact the forestry department or the local police station for..."

"It's urgent, please listen to me. Not only are tigers infested, but also a large number of flocks of frightened birds appearing above the town. Now October is the post-tropical monsoon season. The intensity of the South Asian monsoon is strong and the time is controlled If it is too long, it is easy to cause heavy precipitation, causing heavy rain and mountain torrent disasters.”

"Sir, we have received and recorded the problem you mentioned, but the monitoring department of the Meteorological Agency has not yet received a signal of heavy rainfall. You don't need to worry. If there is any abnormal weather activity, we will immediately issue a notification through information. Remind the public to be alert and take precautions."

"I want to contact you to help me contact the technical monitoring department!"

"Mr. Vidi, I'm afraid this cannot be done. Please trust our monitoring technicians. They have professional knowledge of environmental meteorology..."

Seeing that he couldn't communicate with the Meteorological Agency, Gu Ji hung up the phone decisively, and then used his mobile phone to call up Google Satellite Maps.

His current location is in the capital of Assam in northeastern India: Dispur County.

From the perspective of terrain, Assam is surrounded by highlands and plateaus on three sides. There are two rivers in the area: the Brahmaputra River and the Barak River. The former has many bends, similar to snakes. This form The river flow is not smooth, and floods are prone to occur. However, many towns in India, including Dispur, are reclaimed along the river, relying on water for draft, and lack of flood control buffer zone. The middle and lower reaches of the river are flat, sediments are easy to accumulate, and the riverbed is uplifted. The above-ground river is formed, and backflow is prone to occur.

Once there is continuous heavy rainfall and torrential rain, flood disasters in Assam are almost a certainty!

"Since it is impossible to warn in advance, we can only save ourselves first."

Gu Jiben thought that the game had finally assigned a high-status government official role this time, so that he could persuade the government departments to take defensive measures, but he didn't expect it to be useless.

That's right, without actual evidence.

Who would believe in a word and mobilize the 3300 million people in the country to carry out collective disaster prevention actions?

Not to mention that this is still a national disaster, threatening hundreds of millions of people.

Even if you bring up "Code Name: 7472", it's still useless.

So he started the vehicle, turned on the radio in the car, asked a passerby, and drove to the largest store in the city, preparing to purchase supplies.

According to the "Natural Disaster Emergency Self-Rescue Guide" in the field of natural disasters, before a flood occurs, the most important things to prepare are food, lighters, clothing, drinking water, daily necessities, and necessary medical supplies. If you have valuables that are inconvenient to carry, you can use After the waterproof cloth is bundled, it is buried in the ground or placed on a high place.

But Gu Ji, as a game breaker, can't control so much.

Fortunately, this "Vidi" has a good living condition and carries a lot of cash on him. He first went to the store to buy a lot of biscuits, canned food and other necessary items that are easy to eat and store, and then went to a nearby hardware store Spend a lot of money on waterproof underground work clothes, rubber boots, safety ropes, waterproof backpacks, and an 18-inch 8-in-1 Stanley fire axe.

This thing is equipped with a demolition head, which can be used for knocking, demolition, and valve screwing. The tail can also be used as a crowbar and a wrench for opening and closing the fire hydrant. It can be described as an artifact for home crisis escape.

In addition to these items, he bought three bright flashlights, candles, a whistle, and some brightly colored flags.

At critical moments, these things can be used as communication tools, and can also be used to signal, making it easier for rescue forces to see; therefore, in order to prevent the phone from shutting down, he also bought a few power banks for backup, so as not to lose communication.

As for survival equipment, he did not find a portable respirator similar to the underground building level.

Only bought two life jackets, a rubber swimming ring, binoculars and a map of Assam.

He bought this after traveling all over the town. It can also be seen from here that the economic level of Assam is actually very backward. Although Dispur is called a county, in terms of administrative division, it is equivalent to For domestic provincial capital cities, the actual urban construction level is really equal to that of domestic counties, even slightly worse than some large southern counties.

Most of the buildings in the entire city are low-rise buildings with three or four floors, and they are all a bit dilapidated. However, the walls are painted with different colors of paint, blue and yellow, but they are full of vitality, leaving the center of the town. Outside, there are large areas of shantytowns. On the street, you can see locals who just sleep casually. They wear shabby clothes, step on flip flops, have dark skin and scrawled hair. They are all natives of Assam. .

There are also various transportation facilities in the city, ranging from bicycles, motorcycles, tricycles, to taxis and buses. They are extremely crowded and black wires are tangled everywhere, as if weaving a musical score in the air.

Gu Ji glanced around, and saw many potential safety hazards.

During the procurement period, it seems that colleagues also called a few times, but he has no memory related to "Vidi" in his mind, so he just put it aside and didn't answer it.

Finally, I bought two barrels of diesel oil, and it was already dark and evening.

"Crash..."

When Gu Ji walked out of the gas station, the rain outside became heavier and heavier. From the drizzle, moderate rain, and heavy rain in the afternoon, it soon turned into a torrential rain. Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground and splashed like a rainstorm. a small fountain.

Put the oil in the trunk and enter the car. The back seat is already full of various supplies. He starts the engine, and the front windshield wipers shake quickly, but the strong wind blows the torrential rain like countless whips, and slams on the glass windows. Crackling, coupled with the imperfect lighting facilities in the town, the visibility is extremely poor.

hum!
At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated.

He opened it and saw that the weather station finally released the first text message.

“暴雨蓝色预警信号：过去4到6小时，阿萨姆邦迪斯布尔、高哈蒂等中部多地降水量已达到20到45毫米，1小时降水量已达到20毫米以上；预计未来4到6小时，还将出现20到40毫米的降水；请注意交通安全，防范洪涝风险及其次生灾害；阿萨姆邦气象厅2024年10月10日17时37分发布（预警信息来源：国家预警信息发布中心）。”

Gu Ji hurriedly called the weather station to ask about the rainfall, but no one answered, so he called the Ministry of Water Resources to ask about the water storage capacity of the river dam, but there was no one there either.

"It seems to be off work."

He stepped on the accelerator, and according to the memory of walking the streets during the day, he planned to find a hotel with the highest terrain to live in.

But not long after the vehicle turned into the main road, it was illuminated by the headlights.

Several huge black shadows suddenly appeared in Gu Ji's line of sight. They were tall and wedge-shaped, with thick limbs, and a pair of big horns like sheep's horns, spiral-shaped and abnormally sharp.

It's the herd! !

"Fuck!"

Seeing that a large herd of cattle was about to collide, Gu Ji hurriedly turned the steering wheel, parked tightly on the right side of the road, and quickly turned off the headlights, because the stimulation of the strong light would scare the herd even more.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Moo-!"

He watched the herd of cattle pass by him with wide eyes. One of them didn't know whether it was because of the slippery road in rainy weather or panic. They all swayed to the right, and the rearview mirror even knocked against the wall.

Gu Ji fastened his seat belt and forced himself to stay in the car calmly.

It wasn't until after the herd had completely left that he forcefully opened the car door, ready to check the door panel. As the only vehicle at the moment, this off-road vehicle was Gu Ji's only escape and rescue tool. Of course, he had to be extremely careful.

Fortunately, as a hard-core off-road vehicle, the materials used for the body are still solid.

Except for the dent on the door panel and damage to the car paint, there was no major problem. Gu Ji used an 8-in-1 fire ax to chisel the deformed part of the door frame to ensure smooth opening of the door.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening before driving to the hotel.

There are three nearby hotels, and the one he chose looks like the newest building, and there are few utility poles around it, and there are no high-voltage towers.

Gu Ji took out his backpack and put all the most precious and necessary materials into the bag, which needs to be carried with him, in case the vehicle has problems or is submerged in water, he can abandon the car and escape at any time.

The only mistake in this round of clearance was that he carried the ghost server.

This thing is no better than a laptop, it can be placed in the inventory, and you can use the game system to surf the Internet, but once it is brought into the level, it is a main computer box, which needs to be connected to a keyboard and screen to use it. Levels, or some special events can contact game characters, or check information.

Unexpectedly, as of now, this round of checkpoints does not involve human conflicts at all, it is just a pure natural disaster, and it is not needed.

Fortunately, the size of this thing is about the same as an Apple Mini host, and it doesn't take up much space. Otherwise, it would be too "brain-dead" to carry a case with you.

Entering the hotel, Gu Ji asked for a room on the top floor of the fourth floor for three days.

Perhaps because of his skin color, the boss clasped his hands together, took him upstairs respectfully, and carefully explained the supplies and facilities in the room.

The accommodation here is basically equivalent to the domestic station front hotel.

He didn't dislike it either, he put his luggage on the ground, picked up the hotel's mineral water, and took a sip.

Before a real rainstorm and flood occurs, try to move your backpack and supplies as much as possible.

Especially mineral water.

Once a flood occurs, it is very dangerous to drink tap water. Drink bottled water as much as possible, and do not wash anything with tap water, especially imported food, because the raw water after the flood is the best transmission channel for infectious diseases , Even if the conditions do not allow, we must try our best to ensure that the water we drink is boiled.

So Gu Ji specially bought a filter water bottle and an aluminum kettle to heat and boil water.

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Ji lay on the bed with his clothes on, so that he could quickly react and escape at any time when he found a disaster or received an early warning message.

He turned on the weather software on his phone and browsed several important information on it:
Precipitation intensity, humidity, and air pressure.

Especially the latter, significant and sharp changes in air pressure can be used to predict weather changes. For example, a decrease in air pressure may indicate that rain and snow are coming, and vice versa, it means that the weather will improve. These information are based on the data released by the National Meteorological Department of the mobile phone software service provider for real-time updates.

The screen shows that the current air pressure value is 998 hPa, which is considered relatively low.

And just when Gu Ji refreshed the software.

The number 998 suddenly becomes 991!

Meanwhile, buzz!

"Rainstorm orange warning signal..."
