Chapter 108: Collecting Points Even at the End of the World
"Due to the geographical influence some time ago, a seismic wave was detected in the nearby sea area. Experts speculate that an earthquake may land in this province..."
"Recently, in order to cope with various sudden geological disasters, we have launched special prevention drills..."
"This prevention drill will last for half a month..."
Colin looked at the search results on his phone, frowned slightly, and searched for the so-called earthquake waves.
The relevant information seems to be the same...
But when I think about the moment I signed my name, I felt a fleeting connection with something.
He knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Then, for some reason, Colin searched other areas and was surprised to find that drills were also being conducted in other places...
The reasons vary from place to place, but generally it's either an earthquake, a flood, or a typhoon.
The drills were all held within the next one or two months. Some were held last month, some started this month, and some are planned to be held soon.
There seem to be some related discussions on the Internet, but the discussion is not very heated. Anyway, the boxer just gave two punches and then continued to fight.
But if one notices something like he does and pays attention, one can indeed discover a lot of relevant content.
"Not only here, but everywhere?"
Colin rested his elbow on the wheelchair and raised his hand to touch his chin, but what on earth was it that required such a big fuss?
The total number of participants in this exercise alone is probably going to exceed one billion, right?
Just thinking about it, Ke Lin felt that his brain was not enough.
Then, Colin tried again, expanding the search scope to overseas, and discovered more things by accident.
Neon Island released news some time ago, saying that an 8.0 magnitude earthquake was detected somewhere in the nearby sea area, and a tsunami might occur, and asked everyone to participate in a life-saving drill...
It said that the weather was too cold and the natural gas pipeline was out of service due to a fault. To avoid the adverse effects of the cold, everyone could go to a certain area to get hot gas supply...
The conflict between Britain and Ireland is getting more intense, so we are on alert...
The Lighthouse Country recently issued an announcement stating that dangerous personnel from abroad have infiltrated and required everyone to participate in protective exercises...
Conflicts among Central Asian countries intensify...
All over the world, as if they had been agreed upon all at once, various problems arose.
"You don't know until you see it. Once you see it, you'll be shocked. What's going on here?"
Colin slid his fingers across the screen of his mobile phone, looking at the messages, and really felt that something big was about to happen.
Or is it because he deliberately sought out negative information that led him into an information cocoon?
He looked at the dates and times of each report again...
"The time periods are quite close. The earliest is no more than half a year. If you go back a little further, everything is normal..."
As the targeted search continued, Colin felt more and more that something was wrong.
The whole world has an inexplicable atmosphere of impending storm...
"By the way, that strange city we saw on the train, what was that Pu Bridge?"
Colin searched, but the search results were not satisfactory. There were many bridges with "Pu" or "Xu", but there were no two words combined together, and none of them seemed to be the ones he knew.
Moreover, it was pitch black at the time, and Colin was now a little unsure whether he saw these two words.
However, this seems to be the only information that can be found through normal channels.
Colin thought for a moment and searched the internal channels with the parchment. Although he did not see any direct content, he heard his colleagues say that there seemed to be more tasks recently.
In the past, there was only one a week, or sometimes none, but recently there have been two or even three a week from time to time.
"I didn't notice it before, but now that I heard about it, it seems like it could be the prelude to some big event. It can't be that the end of the world is coming..."
"Sea God Mingyue: The end of the world is coming? Damn it, please don't do this. I just joined the company not long ago and I just worked so hard to pay off my car loan and mortgage. At least let me enjoy life for a while..."
"Coin collector: No matter whether the doomsday comes or not, even if it does, I will still collect points. One credit point can be exchanged for 300 US dollars. Don't miss it if you pass by. You can exchange it for other currencies or precious metals at the real-time exchange rate. I will pay the handling fee..."
"Son of Sex and Abuse: Even if the end of the world comes, it won't stop me from getting promoted. E~D Position Promotion Trial - Team Trial Project 'Ghost Train', a competitive team project. I need someone who is good at assisting..."
"Bai Shou Keaiduo: If there really is an apocalypse, do I still need to pay back the mortgage I owe?"
…
"You seem quite optimistic, but now may really be a time of trouble..."
Colin sighed and smiled, shook his head, sighed while holding the parchment, then turned his head to look out the window.
Everything in the community seems normal. Although it is autumn, the heat has not yet subsided. The lush greenery and vitality of the community's green belts, where all things are competing to flourish, are still before our eyes.
It is hard to imagine that, perhaps in the near future, this place will become a hopeless place shrouded in disaster.
"I have to get stronger quickly, otherwise if something happens, I won't even have the strength to protect myself..."
Colin put away the parchment and pushed his wheelchair out of the room.
He had originally planned to take a nap, but now, after getting a glimpse of the things hidden beneath the daily lives of the world, he could no longer sleep.
Not long after, Colin came to a small park near the community in a wheelchair.
At this time, the time was already ten o'clock.
When passing by the gate of the community park, a female student who had just finished morning exercise saw Kelin sitting in a wheelchair and parked in front of the gate. It seemed that the threshold of the park was too high and he had difficulty walking. Thinking of her deceased father who also had difficulty walking, she felt pity and prepared to come up to help him.
But at this moment, she, who wanted to help others with good intentions, actually saw the man in the wheelchair walk down from the wheelchair, walk down, come down, come...
Suddenly, she stood there in a daze, looking confused - isn't her leg good enough? Why is she sitting in a wheelchair?
She felt that her compassion had shattered into pieces like glass.
Colin didn't know how much of a shock his action of getting out of the wheelchair had brought to the girl. He looked back at the girl and gave her a smile, then continued to push the outer wheels of the wheelchair to find an open space.
"Although I have ALS, the attack is not complete. Is it okay for me to come down and push the wheelchair?"
Colin grunted. It was no secret that he suffered from ALS; some of his acquaintances knew about it.
If they found out that I was healed...
That situation would seem somewhat shocking...
He didn't want to expose the abnormality before the relevant parties came to him. At least his mind would not change until the "Love Paradise" was resolved.
