Chapter 16 16· "Stay alive, stay alive. Stay alive!"

October 17, 2024, 21:35 in the evening - there are still ten minutes before the rescue operation officially begins.

Kezhen City, a coastal city in Dongguo, a special economic zone.

At this moment, the city building is brightly lit.

Countless staff who had gone home from get off work were urgently recalled.

Mayor Li Zhengming was pacing back and forth anxiously in his office.

Perhaps he finally couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere. He looked at the secretary sitting in front of the computer and asked, "Old Wang, what do you think happened?"

"You ask me, who am I asking? The gentlemen said, let's wait for notification." The secretary's frowning brows and his fingers that kept tapping the keyboard proved that he was not as calm as he appeared on the outside.

"What kind of big deal is it?" Li Zhengming sighed deeply, "I thought it was an order directed at our Kezhen City. I wanted to make some insinuations from other mayors to see if I could find any clues to do something about it. Prepare.

But I found that almost all cities, not just Kezhen City, had received similar orders, asking us to be on standby in the city building.

I have to wonder if this is preparation before the war. Are we going to fight the Shima Flower Country again?"

"I don't know, but I don't think we will launch a war due to the current international situation." The secretary said calmly.

"I'm really anxious." Li Zhengming looked at the window of the office, looking at the darkness beyond the neon lights - if it were during the day, there would be the sparkling sea reflecting the sunlight.

"drop--"

The sudden sound made Li Zhengming immediately come to the secretary's side from outside the window - this was the prompt tone of Hongyun's news.

But nothing appeared on the screen, but the printer next to it began to flash red, and the document was automatically printed.

The office was silent, with the sound of turning pages of paper.

quite a while.

"Operation Salvation...Old Wang, do you think this is true?" Li Zhengming said in a somewhat obscure voice.

end.

How come there is an inexplicable era of natural disasters?

"Do you think a hundred gentlemen would make such a joke with all the mayors?" The secretary closed his eyes. His knuckles were turning white as he clutched the document.

"Whether the identity of "Hope" is true or not, hundreds of gentlemen must have verified it, and we have no need to question it. "

——Because this was a top-down order, the document did not contain any records related to Lin Li's prediction coming true. The description of the Era of Natural Disaster was extremely brief, and most of the content was telling the two of them what to do now.

Now this is a command that needs no explanation.

"What we have to do now is to perform the task. The time left for us in the documents is not much." The secretary said.

"After all the hard work, why does the world have to fool us like this?" Li Zhengming looked out the window unwillingly.

Looking at this city into which he poured nearly half of his body and blood.

This city's special economic zone status, without his previous hard work, would have been difficult to compare with other cities that were yet to be determined at the time.

But now, the world is telling him that the prosperous city that never sleeps in the picture, with all the beauty it has, only has a countdown of thirteen days left.

When the ice comes, everything will come to nothing.

Li Zhengming withdrew his gaze. He knew that now was not the time for him to feel sad.

Now that the doomsday has been prophesied, as the mayor, what he has to do now is to follow the instructions of the hundreds of gentlemen so that more people and more things can survive in this city under natural disasters.

He and the secretary looked at each other, and after putting all the documents in their hands into the shredder, the two began their respective work.

"Xiao Deng," Li Zhengming dialed his secretary's phone number and ordered straight to the point:

"In the name of Kezhen City, I issued an order to all public officials in Kezhen City. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and began to coordinate various materials. I want to get the specific amount, and without outside support, , how long can these materials support our city.

Fourteen hours, before noon tomorrow, I have to have an answer. "

"Huh?" Although he was on the other end of the phone, the secretary who was actually downstairs was stunned when he heard this and had no idea what was going on.

This order was so strange and abrupt.

Fourteen hours, with the efforts of the whole city, seems quite sufficient, but in fact, it is a very short time.

It is now close to ten o'clock in the evening, and many people and residents have gone to bed.

And this job is destined to wake up thousands of people, including not only public officials, but also bosses in supermarkets, restaurants, and logistics industries.

The latter not only want to wake them up, but also ask them to take them to their stores and warehouses, open them and let them take people to count the quantities!

This is a very difficult thing!

To be precise, everyone who is woken up will be resentful and will subconsciously not cooperate with the work!

"Mayor, can I ask about the purpose?" the secretary asked. "Otherwise, it might not be easy for the citizens to cooperate?"

"You don't have the authority to know yet. This is not my order, it is the state's order. This work has the highest priority. The nearby soldiers and the Kezhen City reserve militia will assist in this work.

Citizens must cooperate. If nothing else happens, we will soon enter a state of emergency. According to the emergency agreement, this is their obligation, not our request. Li Zhengming said calmly.

Li Zhengming does not need to contact the nearby military camp, they must have just received the order from the gentlemen.

And the emergency agreement Li Zhengming mentioned.

It is an agreement that all medium and large supermarkets and wholesale markets must sign when operating.

The content of the agreement is that if Dongguo encounters a disaster or enters a state of emergency.

Most of the materials in supermarkets and wholesale markets will be directly requisitioned. After the emergency ends, the state will compensate based on the price of the materials.

For example, when an earthquake occurs, all the supplies from nearby surviving supermarkets will be immediately requisitioned by Dongguo for disaster relief. This is an order that cannot be refused. If you disobey, you will be enforced. After everything is over, monetary compensation will be given.

This agreement has always existed, but no one takes it seriously because it is not used in normal times. But when it is used, such as in natural disasters, there is no need to move out of this agreement. Most supermarket owners will just nod.

The secretary looked stern.

A national mission? Will the military also be involved? State of emergency?

What happened? war?

"Yes, I understand. I'll make arrangements now!" The secretary gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew that now was not the time to ask questions. All he had to do now was execute the order.

Li Zhengming hung up the phone and looked out the window while making the next call.

What will this place look like in half a month?

Brilliant lights, can one out of ten be saved? No, can I save a thousand and one?

The call was connected, and Li Zhengming closed the curtains and was no longer distracted.

No time to worry.

Now--

What the entire civilization needs to consider is to use everything it has just for—
