"This thing... is so ugly!" Jessica came to the rooftop apron of the Star Laboratory. There are a total of five engineering mechas here. Because of the rush, Tony didn't take the time to polish the appearance of the engineering mechas, so these five engineering mechas looked... quite Maozi-style, that kind of silly, big, black and heavy-industrial style.
"After all, it's a professional mecha, so don't worry about its appearance." Rarely, Kai stood up to defend Tony.
To be honest, Kai still likes these five engineering mechas. Kai likes this style, which is simple and rough, and looks powerful. On the contrary, it is Tony's carefully crafted Mark series, which is not very popular with Kai. Like.
Tony stood aside with a dark face. After hearing Kai's words, he finally calmed down a little.
He is a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder. For example, he never accepts things handed over by others. For another example, he has very high aesthetic requirements for his works. Although his aesthetics may not be recognized by everyone, he Indeed, it is rare to bring this kind of mecha out to see people.
This is like putting out fire, so he reluctantly released them.
The design ideas of these five sets of mechas came entirely from Kai's request, discarding all unnecessary things and enhancing functionality.
It is bulletproof and impact-proof, and can glide and turn at high speeds in complex urban environments. The flight system does not need to be designed to be complex and sophisticated, it just works well. Secondly, its helmet is sealed and has a special filtration and oxygen supply system, so it is also resistant to gas. The appearance of the armor is also much larger than that of the Mark series mechas, with a height of nearly two and a half meters. It also has hydraulic transmission on the limbs, which allows the mecha to do engineering machinery work when necessary. .
In addition, in order to take first aid measures when rescuing people, there are two small arms on both sides of the mecha. In addition to performing various close operations, it can also perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, simple surgery, and inject epinephrine. Waiting for the ability of emergency medicine.
This is also the first time Tony has used this design in his work. He himself does not like to design mechas like this. He leans more towards the human form, with an extra pair of arms and something, which makes him feel weird.
According to Tony, this pile of stuff is complete garbage!
right! That's how he rated it.
But Kai doesn't see it that way. If they can save people, then they are good things!
"Why didn't anyone else come?" Luke asked.
Among the people who came were Flash, Luke, Jessica, Venom (I almost forgot about this guy), and Hellcat. As for the three heroines, they did not appear.
"They don't need to," Kai said.
Not everyone needs these five engineering mechas. Those who need mechas are Jessica, Luke, Matt, and Hellcat. As for the other one, Kai arranged it for Joe.
"Matt won't be able to come over until tomorrow morning." Matt could have come a long time ago, but the problem is that he has two cases on hand, one of which is still in court today, and he needs to deal with things there before he can come over. Originally, he would come later, but the problem is that now the earthquake time has been advanced, and Matt has to hand over the case at hand to Foggy first and come here in advance. "As for the three heroines, they don't need them."
As for Joe, it's Kai's incestuous love for the Los Angeles Police Department. At this time, the Los Angeles police must ensure their presence. Look at the past life of the Los Angeles Police Department. If nothing happens in this incident... then the situation that finally got better will become worse than before. Originally, Kai's favorites were Dan or Chloe, but Dan wanted to stay in the command position, and Chloe...she had been sent out by Dan for public benefit.
Others don't believe in earthquakes, but Ke Kai's old subordinates all believe it. So Dan had already made arrangements to ensure the safety of his daughter. Chloe herself was quite willing to stay in Los Angeles, but she was still a mother, and her daughter was always the most important person to her. So she finally accepted Dan's offer of self-interest.
So the choice fell on Qiao.
"Anyway, you must be prepared from now on! We don't have much time."
Saving people is not something that can be done casually. Earthquake rescue requires a lot of knowledge. Kai can't guarantee that they can become experts in a short time, but at least they need to understand some of the key points.
Kai originally thought there was enough time, but... plans could never keep up with changes.
…
The earthquake came much faster than Kai imagined, in the evening of the third day.
Just when people thought it was another ordinary day, just spending it normally.
The earthquake is coming.
When Kai was watching the new city holographic early warning system designed by Harrison and the others in the Star Laboratory, he suddenly felt a faint weird feeling, the same feeling as standing on a swinging balance beam, a slight sense of losing balance. The feeling is very subtle.
At this time, all the alarms inside the laboratory also sounded!
Waves of slight fluctuations came from the building, and then quickly became larger and stronger. Finally, the building began to tremble and make a rustling sound. Later, the vibration obviously reached its peak. Standing on the ground felt like standing on a surfboard, and the bumps were very obvious.
Everyone knows that the earthquake is really coming! ! !
Kai took out the communicator and said to everyone: "Attention, everyone! Start taking action!"
This is a public channel, and all LAPD officers are on this channel.
When an earthquake occurs, the police department will inevitably dispatch all police officers to maintain order and save citizens.
In fact, the police department’s response was much faster than Kai imagined! Less than ten minutes later, the piercing sirens began to sound, and there were faint exclamations from all around.
No matter how many people scolded Professor Lawrence before, they have to admit now that Professor Lawrence's early warning is the best rescue, because this matter is so big that all major TV stations have been discussing it for many days, even if No matter how much you scold Professor Lawrence, some knowledge about earthquakes is still inevitable to spread, and there is really no shortage of people who resist authority in the United States. Some people scold Lawrence, and naturally there are others who support him, so some people who helped Lawrence cry out also spontaneously carried out propaganda. , various tips for survival during earthquakes were spread. In addition, it was already night, so the chaos caused by the earthquake was not serious.
This is called immeasurable merit.
The earthquake stopped soon. The earthquake did not last long, and the vibrations of various objects disappeared. The sounds made by people once again became the mainstream of the city.
As for the police station, the public channel has exploded.
There was nothing the police station could do but order all police officers to work on the spot. It is now impossible to get the officers to follow any plan. By the time they arrived at the planned location, no matter how long it would take, Los Angeles would already be in chaos. The police department can only invest most of the police officers first, and then let the police officers make adjustments according to the situation. Anyway, the police department has given the highest authority.
After Kai listened to the noise inside the channel for a while, and felt that even if he spoke now, it would not make much sense, he turned directly to Harrison and said: "Take stock of the damage in the laboratory and restore order in the laboratory as quickly as possible. Let's I need your support as quickly as possible."
Harrison helped Caitlin Snow, who fell to the ground due to the earthquake, and nodded silently.
Then Kai no longer cared about the things inside the laboratory, soared directly into the sky, and headed towards the most chaotic place in the city!
…
Along the way, various accidents occurred one after another.
The most common ones are car accidents.
But it's okay. Unless there is a serious accident, Kai will not stop. It is relatively safe on the road now. All he needs to do is get to the open space as soon as possible. The buildings in the city center were completely dark. People who were used to partying had also canceled their parties for the past two days. The wealthy people even hid in the flat areas outside the city early. But in such a big city, such a big earthquake will eventually cause some problems.
Such as road conditions!
Especially bridges and the like. There are not many rivers in Los Angeles, but there are many viaducts!
These are the places where problems are most likely to occur.
But when Kai rushed to a viaduct on the main road from the air, countless people on the viaduct were in shock, looking left and right in the car. In the middle of the viaduct, a huge break appeared!
I shook my head secretly at the scene in the four or five cars among the cement fragments under the viaduct. These cars were crushed and buried by collapsed concrete blocks. The people inside were dead and no one could save them.
Kai has no idea about this situation. Can he still build the bridge?
He doesn't know how to do this!
Fortunately, the police arrived quickly and evacuated the crowds on the viaduct.
These people are still on the viaduct, and they are simply kidding themselves with their lives. After all, no one knows whether the structure of the viaduct is damaged. If something goes wrong, many people will die.
Just when Kai was about to move on, a roar suddenly came from the public channel.
"Gas pipeline explosion!"
The incident took place in an apartment building in the South District. It was an old-fashioned apartment building. The area was full of black communities. Black communities meant poverty, and poverty meant old infrastructure. It's not explosive to have an explosion.
"Copy that, I'll rush over!" Kai immediately shouted on the public channel.
Then he sped to the scene of the incident.
It was a 12-story residential building. When Kai arrived, the lower building was already on fire. As for the fire escape...sorry, it has long been out of use. The origin of the explosion was right behind the apartment building, and the explosion directly blew away the fire staircase hanging behind the apartment.
The fire stairs from the first to the fourth floor were completely unusable, and the fire spread from the first floor to the second floor and almost to the third floor.
Once a fire breaks out in an old apartment building like this, it will burn very quickly.
Many people wanted to put out the fire, but unfortunately the fire was too strong. A group of people could only stand downstairs and watch the people upstairs shouting for help. However, there were a few young guys who got a blanket from somewhere and stretched it out downstairs to let the people above jump down.
Judging from the way these young people are dressed, they don't look like good people. Some of them actually have guns stuck behind their buttocks. But no one stipulates that gangsters can’t help others, right? Moreover, the community atmosphere of black people is stronger than that of white people, and they are relatively more united. Many people know each other, and it's not surprising to help.
But the effect of this may not be very good. People on the third or fourth floor are fine. If they jump down, there is a chance of survival with the blankets blocking them, but higher up...
Professional fire brigade is needed here now.
Unlike the police, the fire brigade is quite respected in the United States, especially in California, where wildfires occur frequently and there is a huge demand for fire brigade.
But the problem is that now the respected firefighters can't come.
Putting aside the collapsed traffic situation, there was no way for the fire brigade to arrive. Let’s just talk about the current situation. There are too many places that need help, and the fire brigade simply can’t take care of them.
boom! ! !
Just when people were helpless, a huge metal giant fell from the sky!
"It's a superhero!!!"
"That's a cop!" Many in the black community do not welcome the police, let alone the most famous police officer in the United States.
But immediately someone slapped the person who said this idiot.
"It's important to save people now!"
Kai looked around and shouted to the crowd, "Does anyone know where the natural gas pipeline switch is?"
In this situation, if the pipeline is not closed, the fire will not come down at all. Kai was not omnipotent. If he was asked to blow up the entire building, he could do it immediately, but it would be a little difficult to extinguish the flames. After all, the pipelines were still carrying gas.
The crowd was also frightened by the sudden disaster, and without a leader to give orders, they seemed so helpless.
When someone steps up to take charge, everything will move in the right direction.
"I know! I know!" shouted a gangster with gold teeth.
"Very good! Get people to shut off the pipeline immediately! Damn it, the natural gas is still on at this time. Are you planning to blow up the entire community?"
Kai didn't pick a fight and immediately gave the order to the little gangster.
At this time, the gangster no longer worried about the incompatibility between gangsters and police, and immediately rushed to the main gate with a few younger brothers.
"The rest of you, don't stand still! Everyone, move! Move mattresses, cardboard boxes, towels, sofas, anything soft!"
With the backbone, many people immediately knew what they should do, so a group of people rushed to find those things. Without Kai having to say anything, they started building a survival cushion in a location where the fire was less intense.
Many people even began to use their supervisory initiative to find things like ladders.
At this time, everyone suddenly became good people.
Human beings are social creatures. Whether they are willing to admit it or not, their biological characteristics determine that humans need leadership. This is a natural instinct rooted deep in human genes. Otherwise, 10,000 people without a leader would not be more effective than 10,000 sheep.
A leader is not necessarily the strongest, nor is he necessarily the smartest. A leader only needs one quality, which is to make others obedient.
I don’t know how they did it, but the leakage of natural gas stopped soon, and the fire intensity dropped a lot. But that's enough!
It was also at this time that a group of residents found fire hoses from nowhere.
The fire hydrants in the surrounding area are relatively far away, but people tacitly connected the fire hoses they found and pulled the water guns downstairs.
Kai also rushed in at this time.
Fire has no effect on Kai at all. The only thing he had to do was to rescue those who were injured or trapped.
In fact, Kai's workload is not large. In addition to rescuing people, he was more concerned with maintaining order. He cleared a fire break on the third floor, and then asked people in the apartment building to climb down from the third floor using ropes made of twisted sheets and quilts.
On the contrary, the people downstairs did a lot of work and made the rescue work progress very quickly.
The evacuation was quickly completed.
Looking at the cheering crowd... Kai suddenly felt impressed by them.
"Be proud of yourselves! The real heroes are you!" This sentence is definitely sincere.
Hearing Kai's praise, many people seemed very proud. Even the gangsters who usually caused harm to the village also puffed up their chests at this time.
Although gangsters do good things, it sounds a bit unworthy.
But in this situation, no one cares about that.
"Everyone, no matter who you were before, but now, Los Angeles will be proud of you!"
The power of the people is endless.
