v10 Chapter 160： When disaster relief is in progress

North America is a unique land. The soil here is fertile and the geographical features of plain mountains, rivers and rivers vary. Especially the plain land suitable for cultivation and its many, is almost the best choice of a natural farm pasture.

And because of its geographic location, North America, especially the United States. Although there are long coastlines at both ends of the United States, there is little danger of a tsunami.

And earthquakes rarely occur. From a certain perspective, this land is the most suitable place for human survival. Natural disasters are extremely rare in this place.

Of course, less does not mean not. The United States in North America has its own most important and frequent natural disasters. That is a terrible storm.

There is a high probability of windstorms in this country, and there are many cases every year. All together, the direct economic losses caused by windstorms in the United States in a year exceed 2 billion US dollars.

Whether it is a terrible cyclone tornado in the interior or a hurricane in the coastal area. When the violent airflow crosses the border, they will take away everything that can blow up to the sky together.

This includes trees, roofs of houses, cows in the wild, fish in fish ponds, and even your car parked in the back garden. In areas where hurricanes or tornadoes are frequent, almost every family has a refuge.

Generally, a basement with a depth of about two to three meters is opened in the yard against the corner of the wall. The part of the opening is generally made of steel, and the foundation is extremely strong. One or two ventilation windows for ventilation equipment are generally connected to the ventilation equipment of the house.

Most experienced and proactive homeowners will purchase emergency supplies before the windy season. Including batteries, use of diesel generators, emergency lights. There are also various storage-resistant high-calorie foods such as sealed candy chocolates and biscuits and the most important: large amounts of clean water and diesel generators.

After the weather forecast predicted that a hurricane would cross, and its power was evaluated. Generally, parents will choose the coping style according to their power level.

If it is a strong wind below level 8, most people will choose to stay in the house. But if it is a strong hurricane of grade 8 or higher, even a grade 12. So as long as there is a refuge in the home, the best option is to go to the refuge.

Hurricanes are relatively easy to predict, because the direction of the wind eye can be observed in the atmospheric clouds to judge the scale of the hurricane and the route to be traversed.

Cyclones in inland areas are a more terrifying existence. Because many times the formation of cyclones or tornadoes is very sudden and rapid.

Temperature, pressure, etc. all affect the formation of tornadoes. From f0 to f5, different levels represent different powers. f5 is the highest power level of a tornado.

The wind speed exceeds 330 kilometers per hour, which can easily roll up the train, and can also completely destroy the houses of ordinary families.

Even if you are hiding in an underground refuge, you'd better pray all the gods of your faith and let them bless them. A tornado of level f5 will not stay on your head for too long, otherwise no one can be sure that you and your refuge are safe for the next second.

This is a country with frequent windstorms, and many people have experience in self-help and emergency response to windstorms. Because many people know that when a disaster occurs, no one can be trusted. Only the guns in your hands and the emergency supplies in the refuge are essential.

The government's speed of disaster relief has not always been very satisfactory. For example, Leonard thinks so. Even after doing a lot of preparation before, things are now very bad.

Because the hurricane Florida brought a lot of rainfall, the entire city was flooded, and he could only rescue a small amount of what he left in the refuge.

Most of his house was destroyed, and the entire roof on the second floor was completely lifted off.

The Leonards sit in the only main bedroom on the second floor, which is still intact.

"Our way to get out of here." This is what Leonard said to himself and his wife and eight-year-old son: "I don't know how much material can be found in the city, but our emergency food can only make our family support three Days, and there is no electricity. "

"My mobile phone has just barely received the signal. The government is still the same. Let the army come in to maintain law and order. The follow-up rescue work does not know when it will start. The material delivered will not know when it will return. We cannot stay here and wait for it to die. Leonard looked at his wife seriously and said, "Now that the hurricane has stopped and road traffic has recovered, we can try to leave here first. Waiting for the water level to retreat after a while. Staying here is not a good choice. Someone must have not prepared before. Maybe someone has been hungry all day. "

"Their tempers aren't too good, and I don't want to conflict with them." Leonard's words made his wife's lips tight.

She said nervously: "But there are also dangers on the road."

Leonard flipped out a revolver from the bedroom drawer and began to reload the pistol: "Yes, but staying here is almost the same. At least until enough relief supplies arrive, the city will be dangerous. People who are extremely hungry can do everything. The whole city is flooded, and there is certainly little food to find. "

After Leonard had loaded the revolver's bullets, he handed it to his wife, who took a deep breath and took the pistol. The child in her arms looked nervous.

Leonard touched his son's head: "It's okay, don't worry, there are mom and dad." He grinned reluctantly.

At the same time, he also found a short-barreled shotgun. The city after the disaster was not much safer than the wild forest. The news of various robberies after the disaster was not once or twice. Sometimes people were more terrible than the beasts.

When everything was ready and some emergency spare materials were packed into the backpack, Leonard was ready to take the family away. He noticed that his little son was gone.

As he was preparing to find his son, his younger son came in carrying a box of his toys. It seems that he wanted to take these toys together.

"No, no. Raymond, we're not going out to play, we can't take so many toys away." Leonard had a headache, and his temper was a little grumpy because of the bad situation now.

So he unknowingly increased his tone, a bit like roaring: "Now put those things back to me! Go now!"

The appearance of Leonard terrified his eight-year-old son Raymond, who stood there holding his mouth and seemed to be scared crying from his father.

"You scared him!" Leonard's wife ran to his child, holding Raymond in his arms, and dissatisfied with the overreaction of his husband: "Raymond is only eight years old! You can take good care of him Communicate, but do n’t use the roaring method! This storm has frightened Raymond. He wants to bring a personal belonging he is familiar with! ”

Leonard touched his frowning frown: "Okay, my reaction just overdone. Raymond listened, you can bring one, just one toy, will you?"

Raymond nodded. He selected one of his favorite dolls from the toy box, an Iron Man around Marvel. At present, Iron Man has produced an animation to start playing, which is one of Raymond's favorite animated characters.

There are other superhero dolls in his toy box, most of which are Marvel products. Including Spider-Man, Tekken, Captain America and so on.

Leonard sniffed his nose: "Okay Raymond, take your baby's Iron Man." Leonard didn't say anything on his chest: take it, take it. Anyway, these **** heroes will not really appear, just like the government's rescue. Never appear the same when it is really needed!

Just as the Leonards were about to leave, it was banging, it was the sound of the windows being knocked. Leonard pulled out his short-barreled shotgun in the direction of the window sill.

"Who is there!" Leonard asked nervously. He had never shot anyone. He had never shot before, and he hoped not to have it in the future.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." The two people who came in from the windowsill looked weird. They were dressed in fancy clothes. It's a bit like being dressed like a superhero in a movie.

A man and a woman, both of whom have a label on their chests: Justice League. And they held two boxes in their hands.

After the man with the Justice League label put a box of pure water in his hand on the window sill, he put a box of compressed food brought by the female companion on the window sill ~ www.novelhall.com ~ He smiled and said to Leonard: "We are not malicious, but just to help."

Renard put away his shotgun and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous. What department of the government are you in?" Leonard was a little strange, and received a message in the morning that the government was just preparing to shoot the army to maintain law and order. Why did the relief supplies arrive so quickly?

"Not a government department! I know! I know! They are New York's League of Superheroes!" Eight-year-old Raymond suddenly pointed excitedly at the two Justice League members.

The two made a cool gesture to Raymond before saying to Leonard: "Sir, I think you may not have to leave here. Because we are all here."

"What? What makes you all here?" Leonard asked, a little puzzled. He didn't know exactly what the New York Justice League was.

Suddenly a burst of noise came from above his head, and the male Justice League member pointed to the sky and said, "You may know it if you see it."

Reinard walked over to the damaged roof and looked up, and dozens of helicopters flew over his head.

Raymond was lying on the windowsill in excitement and shouted, "Iron Man!"

One by one, the engineering steel armor flew from Raymond's sight. This time it was not a toy, but a real Iron Man.

Leonard moved his fingers, and when he looked back at the window sill, the two of the Justice League had disappeared.

Leonard glanced at the excited yelling Raymond by the window, and his wife checking the water and emergency items just delivered.

He finally looked at his son's box of toys, and Leonard shook his head.

Okay, maybe superheroes are not as useless as they think?
