I don’t know how long it took, but the vibration and pressure from all around under my feet and above my head receded like a tide...
In this narrow underground air-raid shelter, someone finally cried out in pain.
This sound seemed to turn on some kind of switch. Some people sobbed softly, some cried loudly, and some asked "what happened?"
Zhou Tang moved his body slightly and freed up one hand to help Cheng Mu stand up straight. Cheng Mu quickly reacted and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Tang's voice was low, "I'm fine! Turn on the flashlight."
The high and low cries in the room, coupled with the dark environment, made me think that a horror story was being staged.
Cheng Mu fumbled for a moment, then a bright light shot above his head.
The air-raid shelter was relatively small, and Zhou Tang brought dozens of female classmates in together. Although there were not many people sitting next to each other, there was still no room for extra movement.
This beam of light seems to be the light of hope, reviving hope in everyone's hearts.
It also allows everyone to experience the reality first hand.
The crying gradually became quieter.
Only then did someone take out their mobile phone and press the screen to make a call. After making several calls, there was no signal...
"Why can't I make a call?!"
This sentence immediately attracted the support of several girls, "Yes! We are too! It's too closed here! There is no signal, and I can't make calls."
"Could it be the Apple machine? What about your other phones?"
Many people also took out their mobile phones to make calls at this time and responded.
"In the end what happened?!"
"I want to get out!"
"I want to go home! I miss my parents!"
"What's going on?"
These questions resonated, and everyone found the exit at a glance and walked towards the direction where Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu were.
Some bold girls said directly, "You guys give way, we want to get out of here!"
Zhou Tang pursed his lips and refused ruthlessly, "We can't leave here yet."
"Why are you stopping us and not letting us leave here?!"
What happened in just ten minutes was more spectacular than the previous ten years. When it happened, people were eager for a heroic figure to become a leader and lead people to overcome difficulties.
But when the difficulty is overcome, heroism can no longer survive.
Zhou Tang coughed a few times and cleared his throat. His eyes glanced at the leader and the dozen or so people following her, "Everyone, please recall, what was broadcast on the school radio ten minutes ago?"
The leader was dissatisfied. At that time, everyone was in a hurry, wandering around like headless flies. When they saw Zhou Tang, they seemed to be full of confidence. Who would not follow her unconditionally in such a situation?
"What do you mean? Does it matter what the content is? We have to get out of here now! I want to go home!"
Suman, who had stabilized his thoughts and was still pale, spoke from the side, "The school radio broadcast that our city has suffered a nuclear attack..."
Before she finished speaking, everyone was excited again, and the memories that disappeared once they heard it swept towards them again. They also recovered their memories at this time to correct the ambiguous radio broadcast in their memories.
"What?"
"Why do I feel like I'm still in a dream?"
"Yes, I was taking a nap at that time, and then I was woken up by the sound in the corridor! When I walked out the door, I saw noisy everywhere."
"It must be a joke..."
"Who is joking so much?"
"But…"
"My parents! I...I'm a local!"
"Your parents are going to be fine! Look at us!"
Suman's voice became more determined, "We must not leave the air-raid shelter! Otherwise we will all die!"
The girls, who had calmed down a little just now, became excited again and couldn't accept it at all.
Suman had never experienced such an occasion, and looked at Zhou Tang as if asking for help. Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu looked at each other, and she reached out and patted the backpack behind Suman.
Suman reacted, took off her backpack, opened the zipper, and rummaged through the notebook she had casually stuffed into her backpack last night.
She took a deep breath and found her voice again, "These are the notes I took! Before the nuclear strike comes..."
Su Man read the survival guide in her notebook briefly and quickly. Her inner emotions were fluctuating. Who knew that out of interest, she made a strategy that she thought would never be used, but actually used it today?
Zhou Tang said coldly, "Calculating the time, it is only six minutes before the explosion occurs. In four minutes, large amounts of radioactive dust will fall one after another, eventually contaminating everything exposed on the ground!"
"Do you still want to go out now? We have no effective and reliable drugs on hand. As long as we go out, we will inevitably be contaminated with radioactive substances. In the absence of specific drugs, the only thing waiting for us is death! It is a painful death!"
As soon as Zhou Tang finished speaking, everyone around him fell silent.
After a long time, someone was able to suppress the fear in their hearts and speak, "I...how do we know that what you said is true? What if you lied to us!"
Suman had previously spoken in front of a large group of people, which made her a lot bolder, "Are you crazy? Or are we crazy? How capable are we to convince the school to perform such a drama together?!"
Li Qi also came to his senses and whispered from the side, "Everyone felt a lot of vibration and impact just now. This cannot be faked at all."
The man softened his voice and said, "I, I, we don't know!"
Zhou Tang was silent for a long time before speaking, "If any of you really want to leave the air-raid shelter at this time, we won't stop you! The only thing is, don't come back after you leave!"
"When you travel through a nuclear explosion area, your body will be contaminated with radioactive materials. Now we lack the tools and have no way to remove them..."
"If any of you still want to get out of here, we're opening the door now!"
After the words fell, there was silence again...
Faced with the danger of his own life, Rang Gan did not draw such arbitrary conclusions.
"We...we're going to stay here for a few days." Suman's words are still vivid in his mind, but people just want to keep confirming.
Suman replied, "To be on the safe side, 72 hours is best. Now that electronic equipment has been damaged by electromagnetic pulses, the only thing we can do is to turn on the radio and use the radio to receive information from the outside world! If the rescue team comes, they will also broadcast the news through the radio. .”
She suggested, “Now our mobile phones all have radio functions. To prevent the battery from running out, we can take turns using the radio function on our mobile phones.”
"There is no food or drink here, how can we survive for 72 hours?"
Suman looked at Zhou Tang. She knew that Zhou Tang had turned around and took away the suitcase in the critical moment before. She also reminded her roommates to put on more clothes and carry snack bags.
But she couldn't make the decision for Zhou Tang's things.
Zhou Tang said directly without hiding anything, "We brought out some water and snacks. If we save a little, we can fully support everyone here until they are rescued."
Zhou Tang's statement also completely calmed everyone's hearts.
Of course, there are still people who are stubborn and want to leave here at all costs.
"I want to get out of here! Maybe, maybe the situation outside is not as serious as you say?"
Someone close to me stood up and tried to persuade her, "Qingzi, don't talk nonsense!"
