Rossetti could see the fear in her daughter's eyes.
A child of her age already knew a lot of things.
She squatted down and hugged her daughter tightly.
"It's okay. It's okay now. We're all alive."
This was to comfort her daughter as well as herself.
Rossetti could not control her fear either.
This was not only about herself, but also about her beloved Leiden and Eirinn. They were only 12 and 10 years old!
"So, it was the sister on the phone who saved us, right?" Eirinn's body seemed to have stopped trembling. She raised her smartwatch. "Should I thank her?"
"We should all say thank you to her!" Rossetti said emotionally. "She saved our family!"
If it weren't for that phone call, if it weren't for the continuous warnings, if she didn't come down with her daughter and son, but chose to stay in the apartment like Conrad, then now they would be trapped in the raging fire and burned to death mercilessly.
She thought of that scene.
Rossetti felt immense gratitude for that phone call and the person behind it.
Right now, she didn't even want to think about how the other party could predict this fire.
She was just thankful.
Thankful that they had survived a disaster.
"Rossetti, we need to leave this place. It's not safe here." Ralph's voice came from Rossetti's side. Burnt wreckage kept falling from the upper floor.
The elite engineer's voice was trembling.
On one hand, it was because he knew.
Those who remained in the building were all dead meat.
The fire spread so quickly. This luxurious apartment with the best firefighting facilities did not even have fireproof walls. Those who chose to stay in the apartment could not even get through to their phones.
Obviously, to prevent harassment, they had smashed their phones.
To hell with harassment!
That was a life-saving phone call!
Those people had lost their chance to live!
Ralph had the urge to shout and shout to vent his emotions.
On the other hand, it was because he could not understand this phenomenon.
Until he left, Ralph was mumbling to himself.
"How did they do it? How could they do such a thing? Who are the Pan-Humanist Guardians? "He felt that his belief in science was about to collapse.
Terrifying hacking techniques were still within his scope of understanding, but observing the future? How could such a thing happen?!
However, he gradually found his reason.
It must be some kind of unfathomable technology.
It was a brand new discovery.
A discovery that would change the entire world!
He wanted to find them and join them! He wanted to see with his own eyes how this miracle that could save countless people was born!
Perhaps Ralph himself didn't notice it, but a hint of fanaticism had appeared on his face. It was the passion of an engineer and the joy of witnessing a miracle in science. He even felt that his life of being saved had a different meaning now.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
It wasn't just this fire.
It was also because of the strange reason why they had narrowly escaped death.
There was no way to predict a fire caused by lightning. No one, no one, no means could be sure. Coincidentally, the lightning struck the building at that exact moment and caused a raging fire.
This was why Shen Yi believed that this was what he needed after seeing this disaster.
The terrible misfortune of more than 500 deaths was enough to make this disaster the breaking news of the world.
And the warning in advance would also bring a veil of mystery to the General Human Reason Guardian Association.
The combination of the two would create an explosive topic of discussion.
Not to mention, this night wasn't just here. There were also four or five disaster warnings that covered the world. Even if the damage wasn't great, it could become a firewood in the raging fire.
The next day.
The first thing Shen Yi did when he opened his eyes was to ask Clove about the situation.
"Captain, the mission completion rate is only 67%." Clove's voice seemed to carry a hint of disappointment.
"67%?" Shen Yi was stunned.
"Yes, a total of 847 people were warned. 279 people died," Clove replied.
"That means …"
Shen Yi looked at the points.
It increased by more than 300 points.
"How did you do it?" Shen Yi didn't think this number was too little. Instead, it was too much. He stood up and asked while putting on his clothes. "Most people wouldn't believe this kind of prank warning."
"Actually …" Clove told him everything he did.
"So that's how it is." Shen Yi completely understood.
He did it to such an extent.
The bombardment of phone calls and the control of all the unlimited devices would indeed make a lot of people suspicious. Not to mention, it was hard to ignore.
"Captain, is there anything wrong with what I did?"
From Shen Yi's analysis of his tone, Lilac felt that there was something different.
Her voice was a little weak.
It was like a little girl who did something wrong. Although it was somewhat inconsistent with her cold image, in front of the captain, it was easier to be forgiven.
"You didn't do anything wrong, but you didn't understand the main purpose of my order." Shen Yi stood up and opened the curtains. The morning sun shone on his face, but it didn't make him feel comfortable.
"Main purpose?" Clove used a questioning tone.
"That's right. Everything you've done is based on the fact that my goal is to warn you, right?" Shen Yi looked out of the window, and his voice suddenly became very soft. "But what I really want to do is publicity."
"Publicity of the existence of the association?" Clove seemed to have understood Shen Yi's meaning.
"Clove, humans will be afraid of the unknown, and will fear the strong." Shen Yi turned his head and stared at the phone on the bed, as if he was looking at Clove. "You did this yesterday, but there are still a lot of people who don't care, because they won't easily believe things they can't understand. What I want to do now is to let people gradually understand it, and then believe it."
Shen Yi really didn't care how many people he saved last night.
He had learned not to take death as his fault, but only to take the credit for saving people.
Moreover, he was very clear.
Without any precedent, without any evidence, not many people would believe such a ridiculous thing.
But there would always be survivors.
Even if only ten or twenty survived, they would spread the news that they had received the warning. Then, people would realize that the other unfortunate people had also received the warning. It was just that they did not choose to believe it, so they lost their lives.
