I can find treasures in my dreams.

"Dip~dip~"

Zhou Xiaolou's phone suddenly vibrated and emitted a rapid alarm sound.

This is a warning from DaXia's disaster relief software.

He quickly pulled out his phone and immediately saw an urgent message: "Dear Mr. Zhou Xiaolou, ten minutes ago, Canglan Star just entered the area affected by the Primordial Perilous Land and the Mystic Beast Maze."

"Just now, an unknown change suddenly occurred in the Beast Maze, causing the Azure Star's gliding speed to double, and the speed is still increasing."

"The abnormal increase in speed is causing a shock to the laws of Azure Star, which will bring about a number of abnormal phenomena, including the unusual celestial phenomena you are witnessing now."

Zhou Xiaolou was almost dumbfounded.

What the heck is this "law impact"?

He continued reading the message: "In order to ensure the safety of all residents of Yangyan City, we will conduct a comprehensive evacuation of Yangyan City."

"We have arranged a shelter for you and your family and planned a route to the shelter. Please follow the planned route to the shelter immediately."

"Please note that different people take different evacuation routes. Changing routes arbitrarily may cause chaos and congestion, which could seriously threaten the lives of others. Therefore, please strictly follow the designated routes for evacuation."

"Considering that you are not familiar with Yangyan City and you also need to take care of your family, we have specially arranged a drone for you as a guide. Please be sure to follow the guide's instructions."

Just as Zhou Xiaolou finished reading the information, a guide drone belonging to Tianxing Hospital flew over and hovered in front of him.

A female voice immediately came from the drone's speaker: "Everyone, please follow me immediately."

Zhou Xiaolou immediately grabbed his newlywed wife's hand and said, "Come on, let's go to the shelter!"

Saliha grasped her husband's hand in return, her voice trembling slightly: "Where is the shelter?"

Zhou Xiaolou shook his head and said, "I don't know, just follow the guide drone."

Saliha was a little confused.

She immediately felt her husband pull her hand, and involuntarily followed.

The smart wheelchair under the father-in-law's bottom followed closely without anyone needing to operate it.

Although the mother-in-law was confused about the situation, she still followed closely behind.

It must be said that my father-in-law is indeed a remarkable person.

Despite this, the old man remained calm and looked around, observing his surroundings.

The old man quickly noticed that although many people were panicked, the evacuation was orderly and there was no congestion at the various entrances and exits of the hall.

The old man also noticed that no one at Tianxing Hospital was taking command, but everyone knew what they were supposed to do.

For a Sak, this is simply unimaginable.

In Kazakhstan, when disaster strikes, everyone scrambles to escape, fearing they will be left behind.

order?

nonexistent!

The father-in-law couldn't help but ask, "Zhou, how did you do that?"

As Zhou Xiaolou continued walking, he replied, "Every city in Daxia has an intelligent hub. In case of an emergency, the intelligent hub can instantly formulate an evacuation plan to guide everyone in the city to evacuate in an orderly manner."

The old man was a little incredulous: "I heard that Yangyan City has a population of nearly 3000 million. Is it possible that the intelligent central control can instantly formulate an evacuation plan for 3000 million people?"

Zhou Xiaolou nodded and said, "Of course!"

When speaking.

The drone had already brought the group to an elevator.

The service hall of Tianxing Hospital is equipped with a total of twenty-four elevators.

There are quite a few staircases, with twelve staircases set up in various directions.

This configuration far exceeds what is normally required, so there has never been a situation in the lobby where "patients are queuing for the elevator".

The reason for such extravagance is not because Tianxing Company has too much money to spend.

Instead, the Great Xia Dynasty promulgated regulations stipulating that buildings constructed during times of natural disasters must have sufficient safety redundancy.

This way, people can be quickly evacuated in case of an emergency, preventing them from blocking escape routes and causing heartbreaking tragedies.

Almost at the same time.

The elevator buttons didn't light up, but the elevator automatically arrived at the lobby, and the elevator doors opened automatically.

The old man noticed this detail, his old eyes filled with astonishment.

The "intelligent hub" that Da Xia's son-in-law had just mentioned was now displayed before him in the most vivid way.

The old man was initially skeptical of the claim that "an evacuation plan could be formulated instantly for 3000 million people," but now he's starting to believe it.

Zhou Xiaolou led the way into the elevator.

The mother-in-law was the last to enter.

The elevator doors closed automatically, and the car quickly descended, slightly faster than usual.

A few seconds later.

The elevator stopped.

The elevator doors opened automatically, and the group immediately saw a smart transfer vehicle waiting at the door.

The drone quickly gave instructions: "Please get on the vehicle."

Zhou Xiaolou quickly jumped up.

No one cares about the father-in-law, nor does anyone need to care about him.

Because the smart wheelchair is equipped with mechanical feet, climbing stairs quickly is not a problem, and getting in automatically is a piece of cake.

The shuttle bus started up quickly and drove straight to the underground boarding area.

Sitting in his wheelchair, the father-in-law couldn't help but exclaim, "The cities of Daxia are so intelligent!"

Saliha was equally stunned: "Yangyan City is an incredible city."

From the start of the evacuation until now, all modes of transportation have been seamlessly connected, the whole process has been incredibly smooth, and there hasn't been a single extra second of waiting.

Upon arriving at the boarding area, the group queued for a short while.

One after another, shuttle buses carrying groups of people entered the station, and smart vehicles drove over and quickly picked up passengers, making the pick-up and drop-off process fast and smooth.

Saliha then asked a question: "Honey, what exactly happened outside?"

Zhou Xiaolou shook his head and said, "I don't know. The official announcement only stated that Canglan Star encountered a law impact, but did not say what would happen specifically."

He paused for a moment, then said, "However, with the entire country being evacuated, this disaster is likely to be significant."

Saliha grasped her mother's hand, her face filled with relief: "Mom and Dad, it's a good thing you came to Great Xia. If you had stayed in Kazakhstan, your personal safety would not have been guaranteed at all."

The father-in-law agreed wholeheartedly: "This disaster could be very serious; many people are expected to die in Kazakhstan."

Just then, the drone announced, "Please get in the vehicle!"

At the same time, a smart car drove up in front of the group.

The drone did not enter; it merely watched as the people boarded the vehicle one by one. Ten minutes later.

The smart car crashed into an underground tunnel.

Looking out the car window, one can see rows of round metal doors on both sides of the tunnel, each with a number painted on it.

Saliha glanced at the map on her phone and asked in surprise, "Where is this? It doesn't seem to be shown on the map."

Zhou Xiaolou replied, "This should be a refuge tunnel, which is not open to the public under normal circumstances and is only used in the event of a crisis."

"I heard that Yangyan City has built more than 10,000 refuge tunnels, which can accommodate up to 20 million people."

"In addition to the underground residences in various residential areas and numerous shelters, it can accommodate 5000 million people under extreme conditions."

"Therefore, Yangyan City was designated as a super refuge center. The Great Xia Dynasty built a total of 30 super refuge centers across the country, which can accommodate a total of 15 billion people."

"In the event of an apocalyptic natural disaster, the population of surrounding cities will be transferred to super shelters so that more people can survive."

Saliha was astonished: "So many?!"

The father-in-law was also amazed: "Your Great Xia's infrastructure capabilities are too powerful."

Only with exceptional infrastructure capabilities could such a massive cluster of shelters be built.

soon.

The smart car was parked in front of a metal door numbered "132-064".

Zhou Xiaolou's phone received a notification at just the right time: "Mr. Zhou, please get out of the car to verify your identity in order to open the shelter."

He followed the instructions to the metal door and scanned his face at a red square.

"drop!"

Accompanied by a soft sound.

The heavy metal door slowly rose.

The family walked around inside and discovered that it was a family-style shelter.

The interior has a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, with a total area of ​​fifty square meters. There is not much decoration, but water, electricity, and daily necessities are all available. An ordinary person could live there for three months without any problems.

Looking at the cold metal table and chairs in the living room, Zhou Xiaolou wanted to say, "I'm sorry, wife. We were supposed to have our honeymoon in Yangyan City, but now we can only have it in the shelter."

The father-in-law asked first, "Are all the shelters in Great Xia up to this standard?"

Zhou Xiaolou nodded and said, "Yes, now the shelters in Daxia are either single rooms for single people or couples, or suites for families."

"Because Da Xia studied some cases, and found that in any community-style shelter where people are highly concentrated, once the shelter is breached, there are almost no survivors in the entire shelter."

"That's why the Great Xia decided to build such independent shelters, with each large shelter composed of numerous smaller shelters."

“Different micro-shelters are independent of each other and do not interact physically. If a problem occurs in one micro-shelter, it will not affect other shelters, thus ensuring the safety of the people to the greatest extent.”

The father-in-law sighed with emotion, "In Kazakhstan, only high-ranking officials could stay in such a shelter. I never imagined that ordinary people in Great Xia could live there."

Zhou Xiaolou smiled but didn't say anything.

When he was single, he often lurked in online communities in other countries and saw a lot of foreigners’ praise and envy for Daxia.

Saliha changed the subject: "Dad, you just had surgery, you should go and rest for a while."

The father-in-law was indeed a bit tired after all that work: "Okay, I'll go and rest for a bit."

The shelter has two rooms, one large and one small. Zhou Xiaolou originally planned to give up the large room, but the old man insisted on resting in the small room.

After settling the father-in-law in, the young couple returned to the larger room.

Zhou Xiaolou held his wife's hand and said, "Your dad is amazing!"

This is what he means.

After spending a few days with his father-in-law, he could tell that his father-in-law had a long-term vision and acted with the demeanor of a great general.

Saliha hummed in agreement: "If my dad hadn't started preparing years in advance, I'm afraid none of my family members would have survived this time."

After chatting with his wife for a while, Zhou Xiaolou picked up his phone and made a call to his family to report the current situation.

After he hung up the phone, he immediately noticed that his wife's expression was very strange, and her eyes showed obvious fear.

Zhou Xiaolou asked with concern, "Wife, what's wrong?"

Saliha showed her phone screen, her voice trembling slightly: "In Tana, the capital of Kazakhstan... a swarm of giant burrowing insects suddenly appeared... many people were eaten by the giant insects."

Zhou Xiaolou leaned over and glanced at his wife's phone screen, immediately noticing a picture.

This photo was taken from a distance.

Despite the snowflakes falling from the sky, several dark creatures, with outlines resembling snakes and insects, could still be seen emerging from the ground.

Saliha cautioned, "There are more pictures coming up, all taken by people near the scene of the incident."

Zhou Xiaolou swiped the screen with his finger and saw more pictures of the giant insect.

One of the photos was taken from a short distance, capturing the giant insect's head perfectly.

This creature's head has no visible eyes or other organs, only a huge mouth filled with layers of sharp fangs, making it a truly terrifying sight.

The next picture proves that the huge mouth and fangs are definitely not just for show.

A giant insect bit a car parked on the side of the road, instantly tearing it in two.

Zhou Xiaolou's expression changed upon seeing this.

He knew perfectly well that the giant worm was definitely related to the impact of the laws.

The Great Xia Dynasty anticipated the consequences of the impact on the laws, which is why it hastily organized a nationwide evacuation.

But Zhou Xiaolou didn't understand one thing. The giant insect looked scary, but there were many scary things in the era of natural disasters. Why was his wife trembling like this?
Saliha then revealed the truth: "After the giant worm emerged, many people in the vicinity hid in a shelter in the basement of a shopping mall."

"It seems the giant insects sensed that many people were hiding in the shelter. They broke through the walls and crawled inside. This shelter... ugh!"

She didn't say anything more, but just gagged.

Zhou Xiaolou quickly swiped the screen a few times and saw the photos of the shelter his wife had mentioned.

Although the Babel network automatically processed the gore, it was still possible to see blood everywhere in the shelter, as well as blurred limbs and pieces of flesh.

Zhou Xiaolou couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap! Can the giant insect sense the location of its prey, which is why it can find the refuge?"

Saliha gagged again and replied, "I think so too."

Zhou Xiaolou's expression changed repeatedly: "Could the impact of the laws cause the creatures on Azure Star to mutate rapidly, which is why so many giant insects were born in Kazakhstan?"

If this is true, it means that the whole world will become very dangerous for some time to come.

Zhou Xiaolou then offered a guess: "Could this thing be an earthworm that turned into something else?"

Saliha nodded and said, "Possibly."

She took a deep breath and then revealed another piece of information: "The giant insect appeared only one kilometer away from my home."

Zhou Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Saliha felt an overwhelming sense of relief, as if she had escaped a disaster: "Thank goodness I came to Great Xia, thank goodness I married you, and thank goodness I brought my parents here. If it had been a few days later, I'm afraid I would never have seen them again." (End of Chapter)
