Chapter 546: Light of Hope
This should be a very painful day. The tragic situation of this abyss invasion is being reported from all over the place , and there are analysts analyzing the risks of the escaped abyss monsters, as well as risk assessments for future invasions.
There are even proposals to form a global response force to prevent outbreaks in small countries that they cannot handle.
It can be said that all media outlets are focusing on the disaster in Da Piaoliang.
Even if there were Umbrella robots waiting there, it was because Umbrella came here to support Da Piaoliang, which was considered one of the related projects.
However, after Umbrella's robots came out, they instantly stole the spotlight, and the discussion about Umbrella's robots overshadowed the disaster caused by Da Piaoliang.
"If we can really mass-produce them, then we won't have to worry about the invasion of the Abyss. Robots are not afraid of consumption."
"Yeah, just specializing in one job doesn't have to be so complicated, so the output should be able to increase, right?"
"Based on the combat capability of Umbrella's drones last time, their combat effectiveness is definitely quite strong."
"Does that mean that Umbrella's combat power has surpassed that of the Great Beauty? If the number of robots increases?"
"That's not the case. Attacks similar to EMP can cause enough damage to Umbrella, but Dapoji itself relies heavily on electronic warfare, so it's like hurting the enemy by a thousand while hurting itself by eight hundred. But if they really fight and focus on Umbrella's weaknesses and rely on its own strength to fight, Dapoji will have an absolute advantage."
"Besides, Da Piaoliang has mushrooms. She can grow them herself. What can't she do?"
"Haha, do you know how much energy the Umbrella mass projector consumes? Only nuclear power can afford it. Judging from the scale of Penglai, excluding the factories and living areas inside, the nuclear power technology is definitely the best in the world. I don't believe they are incapable of building it."
"How is that possible! If it's true, why didn't Da Piaoliang mention it?"
"That's because they really might..."
“…”
Just as all kinds of discussions were emerging, the Umbrella rescue convoy, followed by reporters all the way, had already arrived at the disaster-stricken area.
Because the problem was solved directly by a nuclear explosion, the disaster-stricken area was quite obvious, with a clear distinction between the nuclear explosion zone and the area outside the nuclear explosion zone.
The collapse of the buildings seemed to have a dividing line.
Later on, most of the load-bearing columns of the building will be left as "boundaries".
Apart from the areas on the periphery where glass was damaged and those that resembled those hit by a hurricane, the areas that really need help are those between the core area and the periphery.
There is no need to think about the core area, everything is gone. First, the abyss creatures were rampant and captured everywhere, and then there was a nuclear explosion.
I'm afraid that only a very small number of lucky people can survive in subway stations and underground parking lots, and there may still be some abyss monsters remaining in these places.
Most people in the outer areas can save themselves, and there is rarely an urgent need for help.
The convoy came to those places where the houses collapsed but not completely, and there might be many survivors in these gaps.
If it was Da Piaoliang's own rescue, they would start lighting candles and sending wreaths about two days after the rescue.
This time, Umbrella's convoy came to this place for rescue, which to some extent was also putting Da Piaoliang on the spot.
In fact, they were just preparing to pick up the garbage and tidy up.
Ever since the Twin Towers incident, when firefighters were deceived into entering the building, resulting in a large number of deaths and a lack of subsequent compensation, the credibility of the American authorities has actually collapsed in the minds of many of them.
It's just a job, why risk your life for it?
Coupled with the impact of privatization, this has led to major problems in Da Piaoliang's public service system. For example, when the fire department arrived at the scene of a fire, it was discovered that the house had no insurance, so they just watched it burn.
No matter how the household owner begged, even when he was asked to pay double the amount on the spot, the government remained indifferent.
In order to grab the order, they just came to "occupy the spot" without adding water, and then shared the water with the fire trucks that arrived later.
Or they might even prepare to forcibly put the uninjured household owner on a stretcher and take him to the hospital in order to get more money.
What’s more, this time it’s a real nuclear explosion!
Even if it is true that the pollution caused by hydrogen bombs is not serious, the Da Piaoliang Fire Department has already lost their trust in them and would never believe that this thing has low pollution.
Now many people will only come in if they are wearing protective clothing, but the number of protective clothing is obviously insufficient, resulting in a serious shortage of people on site.
There were some people who did not wear protective clothing, but their number was not large.
It can be said that after Umbrella's robots came over, they really did provide practical help.
“Dear viewers, you can see that Umbrella’s robots have arrived at the area that is in urgent need of rescue. Based on the previous rescue situation, it can be seen that the current rescue still has potential risks.
"There is the possibility of radiation contamination, another landslide, and there may be monsters trapped in the rubble."
As a result, after the reporter briefly explained the current situation, he started to say "Oh my God" again.
The robots that had arrived at the scene had a very clear division of labor.
Some detection equipment was taken down from the car, which seemed to be used to detect life activities. Seven or eight robots immediately found the target and quickly ran towards a pile of ruins, followed by an engineering vehicle.
There were only some concrete blocks, and these robots began to dig them apart with their bare hands, cooperating with each other to lift them up, with the support of engineering vehicles coming from behind.
The seamless sense of tacit understanding at the dock, the sense of coordination with the highest efficiency in every step, made the entire rescue operation as smooth as a show, which was quite relaxing to watch.
It seems like it has been rehearsed countless times!
Moreover, with such smooth speed, the efficiency is naturally quite amazing.
There were quite a few firefighters wearing protective clothing, as well as some soldiers holding guns to prevent themselves from being crushed by monsters. They had been here for so long, and in fact they had only cleaned up some garbage, and they had only symbolically moved some things around to prevent their protective clothing from being damaged.
But as soon as the robots arrived here, they quickly opened a hole in the ruins. With an extremely sophisticated mechanical structure and the help of several robots that used themselves as load-bearing supports, they dug out a "passageway".
Then it connected to a hollow area formed between the load-bearing wall and the concrete slab inside, where there were two unconscious and dehydrated little girls!
The coagulated blood under the concrete next to them might be their parents, but the two children were still breathing. The robot then quickly stepped forward to conduct a physical examination, and after confirming that there were no fractures or other injuries that might cause secondary trauma, it carried them out.
After the two girls were rescued, it caused a sensation at the scene!
Those firefighters and soldiers simply lost confidence in the beautiful authorities. They were not truly cold-blooded and heartless. Seeing this scene before them, they all rushed over to help.
The medical staff nearby also stepped forward immediately.
He was quickly sent away with an IV drip.
The people watching the live broadcast in front of the screen also felt an indescribable feeling...
The light of hope for mankind...
Umbrella!
