Chapter 65 Meteorite Rain(2/2)
Someone started calling.
"Dear, we are far away from the area where meteorites landed. We were not in the meteor observation area when experts predicted it before... Is there any new news from your husband?... What! Are you already in the air-raid shelter?...
But why, didn’t you tell me not to worry when we talked on the phone in the afternoon?...What do you mean you didn’t say such a thing? If it weren’t for your suggestion, why would I still be at home now!..."
The man hung up the phone angrily and shouted to his husband and son in a panic, asking them to pack their things and take refuge.
In the office building before get off work ends.
"Everyone, work hard today! You must publish this report before "XX Magazine". After that, I will invite everyone to have a drink and relax!"
Someone echoed: "Yes!"
Some people were very uneasy because they had just received a call from their family members, saying that everyone had gone to evacuate and that the meteorite rain was coming soon.
"What are you afraid of about meteorites! If "xx Magazine" gets ahead of you, it will be the end of the world! Focus on your work, and if anyone mentions meteorites again, pack up your things and leave, and don't come back again!"
…
Similar things happen in every corner of this country.
Later, someone calculated that in the half hour from 7pm to 7:30pm, a dozen meteorites struck the entire M area again. In terms of the number of meteorite strikes per hour, it was twice as many as in the afternoon.
.
The country once again issued a disaster warning, asking everyone to take refuge in basements or air-raid shelters.
But there are so many people in a country, and this is not the era of mobile phone networks. Some people living in remote towns have never seen a meteorite and do not know that the meteorite rain is coming.
After the sporadic meteorite attack in the afternoon, at least half of the people did not know or did not believe that meteorites would fall on a large scale and in large numbers.
After 7:30 pm, even though news channels repeatedly warned, about one in five people still did not know about it, or still underestimated the horror of this disaster.
But there are also many people who are anxious to take refuge, but are blocked on the highway for various reasons, unable to move forward or retreat...
At about 9:20 minutes in the evening, just when most people relaxed and thought that the disaster was over, the meteorite rain arrived as scheduled. Starting from the eastern part of Country M, as the planet rotated, it swept across the entire continent of Country M from east to west.
The next day, a large number of meteorites rained across a large area and landed on the other side of the ocean.
On the third day, 70% of the countries on the planet were hit by meteorite rain.
The area covered by the meteorites was not dense. Some were lucky, and only three or four fell in the entire town. Some were unlucky, and entire buildings were destroyed. Those who took shelter in the underground parking lots of the buildings were all buried alive.
The diameter of most meteorites is about ten to tens of centimeters, and most of them will explode in mid-air, forming smaller fragments, carrying high-temperature flames, smashing into buildings and cars, destroying trees and roads, exploding, and burning...
In the ocean area, a few meteorites fell on a famous island. The number was not large, and they were even lucky enough to avoid the tourist hotel area.
