The vampire who was interrogating Prince Dracula came to an abrupt stop. He felt as if someone had just cut his neck with a knife!
Magneto was writing out a cheque to pay off his debt with his family fortune. The cheque he handed out stopped in the air. The fingers of the man opposite him had clearly touched the cheque, but he trembled and did not dare to accept it.
A man in a suit who was about to spit at Professor X suddenly stiffened. He turned his head abruptly to look at his feet to make sure that he was not hallucinating. The crowd below the stage burst into an uproar. Ambition flashed in Mr. Chalves' eyes!!
The moment had finally arrived!
After playing the role of a saint, his image of being brave enough to take responsibility and work hard without complaint had been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. With the support of these people present, who could stop him from becoming the leader of the country after the disaster? Professor X had long realised that without the corresponding power and political status, there was no way to carry out his ideas!
As for the sudden drop in population after the disaster, Professor X had consulted a series of professionals. They told Professor X that human beings were the most fertile creatures in the world, mainly in two aspects:
First, most animals had estrous periods, but the estrous period of human beings was incomparably abnormal. Whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter, the reproductive ability of a human male could last from the age of ten to the age of eighty, and they could mate whenever they wanted.
Second, with their own technology, humans could easily reduce the birth and death rate to an extremely low level.
The American government had also taken a lot of measures to deal with the fake arks in China, so it was estimated that the number of survivors could exceed three million. Therefore, it would only take 30 years after the disaster for the population to exceed 100 million.
As for Professor X's lifespan … He was so powerful that he could even directly take over the bodies of people with cerebral palsy or vegetative states (there was an introduction to this abnormal ability in the movie, where he could directly take over the bodies of people with cerebral palsy or vegetative states). Therefore, time was not a problem for him at all!
"The collapse of the Pacific Plate will start from the middle. Imagine a biscuit breaking from the middle. A huge crack that almost stretches across the middle of the United States is slowly forming. This crack is going from west to east, extending along the Mississippi River. It is expected to form a super-strengthened version of the East African Rift Valley. In the area around that area, the intensity of the earthquake will reach magnitude 12 or even 13!"
"Fortunately, New York, Washington, and other cities will be at the edge of the first wave of the catastrophe, but Los Angeles will be affected by the San Andreas Fault in San Francisco, and the degree of disaster will increase linearly."
"Generally speaking, in the first wave of the earthquake, the people in the coastal cities will have more chances of survival. However, the tsunami caused by the earthquake will arrive in two to three hours. The first wave should be more than 1,000 meters high. That will be the disaster of the coastal cities!"
Sheyan's words echoed in the minds of the three magnates.
By now, the three magnates no longer had any doubts about him.
The continuous earthquake caused everyone to panic. Even though the intensity of the earthquake was only between magnitude 4 and 6, even though it was not a life-threatening experience, it still instantly crushed the anger, shock, and humiliation that most people had previously felt! Instead, endless fear took over their bodies!
Prince Dracula let out a bloodthirsty smile in the face of this great natural disaster. He stood up, looked around, and saw that the questioning gazes had turned into submission. Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, and broke the neck of the vampire who was standing in front of him and questioning him a few minutes ago!
The dumbfounded vampire even forgot to resist!
Then, if Prince Dracula did not take this opportunity to eliminate his dissidents, when would he? Immediately, a blood-soaked and terrifying massacre unfolded! He licked his fangs in satisfaction and ordered his men to board his flagship.
Magneto stared coldly at the man in front of him, the man who used to be his friend, the man who was crazily shouting for him to compensate for all his losses just a few seconds ago.
He said flatly, "Take this cheque. This is the compensation I got for you after I sold my inheritance."
The man's face was pale. He forced a smile and waved his hand repeatedly.
"This, this is just a misunderstanding. Listen to me, my dear Eric …."
Magneto did not bother to talk to him anymore. He stuffed the cheque into the man's mouth. Then, he looked at the rest of the people in the room who were sweating profusely and wanted to say something but could not. He suddenly laughed wildly and strode out of the room.
There were a total of eight airship formations in the base, totaling 56 airships. They had all been filled with gas during the period of time that Sheyan had informed them, and were now floating low above the ground.
But because at least half of the people in the airships had wavered, the airships were lowered to a height of three or four meters above the ground, and temporary giant stairs were installed to make it easier for those people to leave. But now that the earthquake had happened, the mutants, vampires and other confidants of the three big shots who had been suppressing their anger on the airships immediately put away the stairs with a vengeful glee. The airships quickly rose to a higher altitude!
"That's what you get for demanding a refund!" sneered the currency changer on the airship.
"That's what you get for not obeying the management and leaving in private?" said the airship manager angrily.
"That's what you get for blocking the door and messing with my gay friend!" said the airship waiter through gritted teeth.
"That's what you get for littering!" sneered the cleaner on the airship while waving a broom.
"That's what you get for treating my words like farts!" said the captain fiercely.

Seeing that the airships had taken off and that their only chance of survival was about to disappear, the people who had come down from the airships became even more panicked. The earthquake was still going on, and the fear in their hearts grew with each passing day. Some people were crying, some were yelling, some were threatening crazily, and some even took out their guns and fired at the airships ….
Their behaviour was obviously unforgivable, so they were soon riddled with holes by the weapons and legendary storyline characters on the airships. As for the repair work, it could be left to the vampires who could fly. They could just stick a band-aid on the airships, then take out an air pump and fill it with the prepared gas. The airship's capsule was divided into a large number of compartments, so the destruction of one compartment would not affect the load too much.
It was still Professor X who stepped forward at this time. He slowly floated into the air and directly asked those people to kneel down and repent for their sins, then recite his name in their hearts and sincerely beg for forgiveness. Only then would they be able to obtain salvation.
This kind of charlatan act would definitely be scoffed at under normal circumstances, but now that their lives were at stake, people were willing to do even more outrageous things. More importantly, Professor X really could read people's hearts and thoughts!
Soon, a faint white light appeared on the bodies of the dozens of people who were sincerely repenting. Then, rope ladders that rotated back and forth like a conveyor belt dropped down from the airship. As long as they held onto them firmly, they could be rescued onto the airship without having to climb.
Now that there was an example and a way out, the people who were selected were also the elites of society. Although the earthquake was shaking violently, it did not seem to be life-threatening for the time being, so the situation finally returned to normal.
Among them, the largest number of casualties were the dozen or so people who fell to their deaths from cramps in their hands from the rope ladders. Well, there were also more than a hundred devout religious people who believed that Professor X's actions were blasphemous against God, so Professor X mercifully set them free. They were free to go anywhere on Earth except the airship.
The ones who were most fortunate at the moment were the people who stayed behind on the airship. They looked down at the idiots below with arrogant eyes. The names of these people who stayed behind were also registered. As staunch supporters, they would definitely be given preferential treatment in all aspects in the future.
However, after such a storm, most of the people who had left earlier did not return. They had spent the night in fear. When they left, they believed that the apocalypse was just a big fart that had been released, so they must be sleeping soundly right now. There was no way they could make it back in time, and even if they did, the base might not be willing to accept them.
Therefore, after some discussion, the Big Three decided to launch an emergency plan. They would urgently replenish the population from New York City while there were still billions of people left in the human race. It was definitely not a good idea to do this all at once, but it was true that population was the number one productive force. It was better to have some than none!
***
Things were in full swing on the Big Three's side, but Party Ace and the other three were facing a difficult test that they had never experienced since they entered the Nightmare Realm!
The area where they were now was hundreds of kilometers away from the epicenter of the earthquake! More importantly, a crustal crack derived from the epicenter would also pass through here, so the intensity of the earthquake here was at least above magnitude 8!
What did a magnitude 8 earthquake mean? The official statement was that most of the houses were damaged, a few of them were damaged, the roadbed collapsed, and underground pipes were ruptured.
That sounded like an understatement, right?
However, the earthquake in Wenchuan in 2008 was only magnitude 7.9. The most destructive first earthquake lasted only 22 seconds, and it happened in western China, a relatively underdeveloped area with a low population density (Wenchuan, Yingxiu and other places were all labor exporting areas). The final loss was 800 billion RMB, and the death toll was nearly 100,000.
Under normal circumstances, the duration of an earthquake was only a few seconds. It was rare for an earthquake to last more than a minute.
But in the 2012 apocalypse, a magnitude 8 earthquake was expected to last for nearly half an hour. What did that mean? It was not hard to imagine how great the damage would be. (To be continued.
