Zi frowned when she heard Sheyan's words.
"That's too difficult a request. It doesn't sound difficult to get the whole town to evacuate, but the problem is that we don't have any authority. How are we going to convince them to evacuate?"
"Besides, it's 4: 40 in the morning. If you want them to evacuate, you must at least have a destination in mind."
"In addition, when organizing the evacuation, you have to take into account all kinds of accidents that might happen to the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. If you're not careful and act rashly in such an environment, it'll be a disaster."
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Leave the evacuation to me, Old Charlie, and Brother Black," said Sheyan with a smile.
"Zi, you're in charge of such a big company with tens of thousands of employees. Who else but you can organize the evacuation? Come with us later. If we want to do this, the mayor is a very important person. "
"Kulutego will of course be the one to tell us where to evacuate. As for Reef, he'll be responsible for organizing the evacuation and the medical team to prepare for any emergencies. Okay, let's go!"
Zi rolled her eyes at him but did not say anything.
The first thing Sheyan had to do was to find the mayor. The fat man, who was full of fatherly love, was still accompanying his son in the ward, so it was not too difficult to find him.
After seeing the mayor, Sheyan did not spend too much effort to invite him to the side, and then said, "Let me tell you something.
"Mr. Mayor, according to the reliable information I have, the beautiful town of Forks is about to be submerged by a mudslide. We have at most 40 minutes left."
The mayor was stunned.
"Is there really such a thing? But I've never received any notice from my superiors. Please forgive me, my friend. Rainy nights like this happen hundreds of times every year in Forks, and this town has existed for more than 310 years …. "
The fat man obviously did not believe Sheyan. Sheyan could not possibly tell him that the end of the world was coming, so who the hell would care about this town? Nor could he get Mr. Kulutego to tell him about the specialties of the Cyclops …. Therefore, Sheyan adopted the simplest and most direct method of persuasion – violence.
Brother Black pointed the muzzle of his gun at the mayor's temple and said coldly, "Sir, we're sorry.
We've offended you. This concerns the lives of thousands of people in the town. You have to believe what we say. "
The mayor, Mr. Stilla, was obviously not a very bold person. He immediately started trembling all over and sweating profusely.
"Gentlemen, I can still take out fifty to sixty thousand dollars in cash and jewelry. Please don't hurt me and my family!"
Sheyan lifted his chin towards Zi and calmly said.
"I'll leave him to you. I still have important things to do."
Zi nodded and replied.
"Okay, go ahead."
After walking for a dozen metres, Sheyan and Mogensha pondered and said, "That's right.
"This mayor doesn't seem to have much authority. He might not be able to mobilize everyone to move out. Charlie, what do you suggest?"
Old Charlie followed closely behind him and said in a graceful manner, "You're right.
"Master, it's very simple. I've just seen the structure of the town. It's not scattered. Instead, it's divided into five connected areas. If there are people who don't want to leave, we just have to force them away."
Sheyan looked at him with great interest and said, "That's right.
"How?"
Old Charlie said in a gentle but cold voice.
"Set a fire."
"In this weather, with the cold rain pouring down, the houses will be drenched by the rain. It'll take at least an hour for the fire to spread and burn down the houses. Therefore, the flames and smoke can only serve as a threat and panic. The mudslide will arrive before anyone is burned to death. So, it's a good idea to set a fire with flammable materials and use the flames to force out the people who don't want to leave. "
"Let's do as you say," said Sheyan decisively. Sheyan very decisively replied. "Mogensha, lighting a fire in this climate isn't easy. Let's go find some petrol, we need to finish this within 15 minutes."
When Sheyan walked into the town's only gas station, a shrill siren was already ringing over the town. The mayor's stammering voice was amplified by N times through the radio.
"A level one orange alert has just been issued from Motegen City. A mudslide is coming. A mudslide is coming!! Please note that this is not a joke, nor is it a drill! All residents, please get up immediately and come to the road in front of the hospital as soon as possible. We will set up a rescue and escape route there! I repeat, this is not a drill. A mudslide may come at any time! "
"Zi's efficiency is really good." Sheyan nodded to himself, then shouted at the stunned gas station employee.
"What are you waiting for? I'm here to inform you of this! If you don't want to be buried under 40 feet of mud and rocks, leave now! Also, prepare a tanker truck and drive it to the hospital entrance. If we don't have any materials to start a fire in this damn weather, everyone will freeze to death! "
The gas station staff panicked, but they seemed to be very cooperative and did not question Sheyan. Sheyan drove away with a high-displacement Ford Raptor. If the Ford Raptor's 280L fuel tank was filled to the brim, it would be enough for Sheyan's arson, not to mention that Sheyan was carrying a full tank of fuel up there.
Under the mayor's repeated shouts, the town fell into chaos like a pot of porridge. Zi began to show her excellent organizational skills. Banners were quickly hung up to recruit volunteers. The volunteers put on the hospital's ready-made white coats and were distributed in groups of three to the corners where traffic was easy to jam. They would help or point out the direction of the evacuation.
Old Charlie was in charge of driving the cars. He parked them every 100 meters and used the bright headlights as street lamps to show the way to a safe area. Fortunately, the safe area that Kulutego found was less than two kilometers away from the town.
Zi could no longer be bothered to keep an eye on the mayor, but she still told him straightforwardly, "The mudslide will happen in half a minute.
"There's at most half an hour before the mudslide happens, I'm so busy right now, I don't have time to look after you. You can ask the sheriff to monitor my actions. As someone who has nothing to do with Macy town, do you think I'm bored enough to come here and play with you?"
"Or, Mr. Stilla, you can go back on your words now and tell the truth so that the townspeople can return to their houses, but in half an hour, you will be tormented by the tragedy that happened for the rest of your life. Until the moment you take your last breath, you will spend the rest of your life in remorse and pain!"
The mayor could feel the indescribable pressure coming from the surrounding mountains. His face turned pale, but he still nodded silently and chose to cooperate. He was not a bold person to begin with. Zi's words had undoubtedly put a lot of psychological pressure on him, so he could only choose to cooperate for the time being.
Reef had also picked a few people from the volunteers to form a temporary patrol team. They set up a temporary camp and tried their best to build some tents that could prevent the rain from leaking in.
While Zi was on the right track, Sheyan and Mogensha had also started pouring gasoline on the houses. They tried to pour gasoline on an area at a time, then waited silently for the time to run out. They could not light the fire too early, but they could not light it too late either.
If they lit it too early, it would easily cause panic among those who were willing to retreat. These people were already frightened to begin with, and with the threat of a fire, it was possible that they would become paralyzed with fear.
When there was still 15 minutes left in the countdown, the fleeing crowd had already started to thin out. Brother Black took a deep puff of the cigar in his mouth and flicked it towards the gasoline barrel beside him. In an instant, a raging inferno surged and spread along the gasoline barrel. Soon, it covered a large area. Correspondingly, the doors of several houses opened at once, and people ran out in a sorry state, cursing loudly at the same time!
After witnessing the results, Sheyan and Mogensha exchanged glances and chuckled. Then, they hurried to the next area to ignite the fire. The sudden blaze stunned everyone. Some of them even wanted to turn back to put out the fire.
Fortunately, at this moment, in the depths of the mountain range, an indescribably loud sound suddenly rang out. That sound was like a giant beast swallowing something, and also like ten thousand brittle bones being broken at the same time. It sounded long and terrifying, and even the earth was clearly shaking, and the trees were crying out in panic!
Hearing such a terrifying noise, the residents who were running away were instantly terrified. Many of them began to cry loudly, including some volunteers. Some of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Those who said they were going to put out the fire immediately kept quiet out of fear. Many of them even threw away the buckets in their hands and ran towards the assembly point! Many people with weak psychological endurance even ran away while screaming in fear, as if that was the only way to vent the fear in their hearts.
There were also a few elderly couples who were carrying heavy suitcases as if they were about to go on a trip. At this moment, they were reluctant to give up their belongings, but their limbs were weak due to fear and they couldn't exert any strength. They could only lie on the ground and cry in despair … The situation immediately became more chaotic.
Zi waited for a while because she knew that these people in front of her were ordinary people. Although time was precious, she still had to give them some time to recover.
But at that moment, a girl who looked only 16 or 17 years old stepped forward. Her flaxen hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her forehead. She had a unique temperament. She bravely stood up and shouted at the fleeing crowd.
"You cowards! They need help! They're not strangers, they're your neighbors, your friends, your family! "
The girl shouted these words over and over again until her voice became hoarse. She then began to help those who were paralyzed, persuading them to abandon their backpacks and muster up the courage to walk. At this moment, this girl's thin and weak body, her pale skin, yet her courage and bravery were vividly displayed!
Under her example, more and more people began to turn around to help. Zi, who was standing at the side, had a smile on her face. This girl had done what she wanted to do, and she had done it even better than Zi. She couldn't help but grab the mayor and ask, "What's the matter?
"Who is she?"
The mayor was now convinced by Zi's words and was preparing to retreat in a hurry. He looked up and gasped.
"Isabella? Mary? Swan? She moved to our town from another place. I didn't expect her to be so brave. "
Zi's face suddenly changed when she heard the name.
"Isabella? Mary? Swan... Forks Town!!! Is this place... Oh my god! Sailor and AK went to set the fire. They might encounter unexpected trouble! " If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
