Chapter three hundred and ninth fog

When the fog spread rapidly, Liu Hualiang was chatting with his colleague Mu Baifei.

As two of them, they also studied abroad, then obtained American nationality and settled down, and eventually became colleagues. In a company dominated by white people, the two of them naturally got together.

Having similar experiences, both are compatriots, or programmers, the only difference between the two is that Liu Hualiang has married a local American wife, while Mu Baifei has remained single so far.

"Why did the traffic jam today?"

The vehicles on the entire street were blocked, making Mu Baifei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, very bored. After playing with his mobile phone for a while, he found that the car had only moved for a long distance, and was very dissatisfied.

"Maybe a car accident happened before?"

The environment of San Annu City is suitable and the transportation infrastructure is also very good. I have been working here for two years. This is the first time that Liu Hualiang has encountered traffic jams at night.

"By the way, is my sister-in-law still angry with you?"

Chewing the gum, Mu Baifei turned his head and looked at Liu Hualiang.

"Hey, she might need some time."

"Actually, you really should have a child. After all, you have been married for two years, and your sister-in-law and your job have stabilized. If you don't have children, you both are going to thirty."

"I understand Aini's idea. She is now in the rising period of her career, so it's normal for her not to want children... It's just my parents, you know the concept of the older generation."

Sighing, Liu Hualiang, who was between his parents and his wife, was also in a dilemma.

"So, either offend your parents or your sister-in-law, Brother Liu... Marriage is indeed a man's grave. It's great that we programmers are single alone. You are retribution."

"Don't blame me for not finding a girlfriend."

Unhappy, Liu Hualiang opened Mu Baifei's hand. When he was about to say a few more words, his eyes suddenly moved and he found the fog rolling in front of him.

"Hey, look ahead!"

Liu Hualiang was startled and pointed out of the windshield and said.

"Well?"

Mu Baifei looked in the direction Liu Hualiang pointed, and just a hundred meters away from the road blocked by vehicles, white mist like a sandstorm rolled in, quickly flooding the road and surrounding street lights, spreading towards this side.

"Where does this get the fog?"

Mu Baifei was shocked. He had never seen the fog spreading so fast, not to mention that on this hot summer night, where did natural conditions generate such a large fog?

Before the two of them could come to their senses, the fog that was surging and rolling covered their surroundings. In the blink of an eye, there was already thick white fog around the left and right. In front of the headlights, you could only see the rear license plate of the vehicle in front. The front half of the vehicle, which was a little higher, was actually submerged in the fog and could not be seen at all.

Such a thick fog is really amazing.

Fog with a horizontal visibility of less than 50 meters is called strong fog, and it already requires a red warning. However, the level of fog in front of you may be less than 5 meters, which means that if a person on the other side is standing five meters away, he may not be able to see him.

"This fog is too big, right?"

Mu Baifei stretched out his head from the car window and looked back and forth, and found that he could hardly see anything other than the fog.

"Well, this fog is a bit weird."

It was an extremely strange weather like the snow in June. This was the first time in Liu Hualiang's life that he saw such a strong fog. He couldn't figure out where this fog came from.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and the car swayed. As soon as the two of them were shocked, the vibration disappeared, as if the vibration that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Damn it, it wasn't an earthquake just now, right?" Mu Baifei was surprised and suspicious.

“It’s kind of like an earthquake.”

Liu Hualiang had a calm face, but his eyes were placed on the car radio. After the vibration just now, the car radio that was originally broadcasting slightly seemed to be malfunctioning, with only the white noise of "squeezing".

After thinking about it, Liu Hualiang reached out and mobilized several frequencies of broadcasts in succession, but none of the familiar sounds appeared, and all of them fell into white noise.

"Hey, why did the street lights stop?"

In Mu Baifei's surprised tone, the street lights on both sides of the highway flashed a few times, and then they fell into darkness.

If there was still a thick white mist around the street lights a second ago, then when the street lights disappeared without a trace, except for the front of the headlights, the surrounding area was suddenly covered by darkness. It seemed as if the entire city had disappeared in front of them.

"Is it really an earthquake?" Mu Baifei could only think so.

The noisy sound rang outside the car, and the other owners thought it was even more confusing than the two of them. A car owner who couldn't help but opened the car door and got out of the car, passed by Mu Baifei, shouting "earthquake".

Some people also took out their cell phones and started calling the police.

A strong white man standing outside the door of Mubai Speedway, holding his cell phone, shouted: "No signal!"

Hearing him shouting, Liu Hualiang and Mu Baifei quickly took out their cell phones. As the white strong man said, the two of them also showed that they were not in the service area.

Although it often appears outside the suburbs of American cities, it can be seen that this is near the city center and not far from the high-tech zone. Recently, Google has introduced a super network project in San Annu City, and the city basically covers 1gbps wireless network.

But now, Liu Hualiang found that not only did not have the base station signal provided by the mobile phone operator, but also couldn't find the Google wireless network search... Did the earthquake cause power outages in the city and network paralysis?

"Boom..."

The fleeting thick lightning broke the heavy mist in the sky, which scared both of them.

"What the hell is this? It's an earthquake and a power outage."

In this era of highly developed Internet access, without Internet access, everyone seemed to have become blind and deaf, and could only wait for rescue in a daze.

For Saint-Annu, this is the first time since the city was established, such a natural disaster such as earthquakes have occurred. I don’t know if the relevant emergency departments have the experience to deal with it.

"Don't worry, you'll call later. Someone may be doing repairs."

For example, such natural disasters, the first thing the relevant departments need to do is to restore communications, otherwise the relevant rescue will not be carried out, and in panic, it may cause greater secondary disasters.

"Brother Liu, I'll go down and take a look."

Before Liu Hualiang could answer, Mu Baifei had already opened the car door and got out of the car.

The vehicle was already full of owners or passengers, and everyone was discussing what had happened. The sudden fog in front of them made many people a little uneasy.

The power outage and the absence of the network, the mobile phone signal have made this uneasy gradually rise.

Fortunately, some people think that this is just a small earthquake, and even if it causes a communication failure, there seems to be no casualties. This means that the situation is not too bad.

"Do you think the fog will dissipate tonight?"

Putting his head into the car, Mu Baifei sighed.

"Maybe not."

"That means we're going to stay here all night?"

Mu Baifei said: "What do you know when the blocked vehicle will be done."

When everything was fine, it was blocked for more than ten minutes but it was not done. The heavy fog was apart, and it was suspected that an earthquake caused the power outage without any signal. Mu Baifei, who did not expect Americans' efficiency, had a headache.

When Liu Hualiang heard Mu Baifei say this, he hesitated. It would be impossible to put the car here like this. Who can be sure that if the handling is completed in a few hours and the owner is not found, those bastards will 100% drag the car away and make him pay a high violation fee.

"Should you wait a little longer."

"Okay, stay in the car and look at your car. I'll go ahead and see... I've gone there. It must be a good thing that someone who doesn't follow the traffic rules did."

"Well, I'm here to stay. Let me know if there is any situation."

Liu Hualiang nodded without objection.

In fact, it was not only him, but many anxious car owners had already walked forward. Many people were walking in the middle of the blocked vehicle to see the reasons for the blockage in front.

"ah……"
