Apocalypse: Starting By Hoarding A Billion Food Additives - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 A Safe Underground City, Seven-Day Lockdown

After everyone calmed down, Zhao Feng announced the truth of the apocalypse and the reason for it.

This explained why Zhao Feng had asked his employees to bring their loved ones with them.

Zhao Feng then turned on the large screen that had been set up in the city’s central plaza.

At this time, the apocalypse had not officially descended, and they could still receive many signals from the outside world.

Hence, the underground city dwellers gathered in the plaza and watched the chaos and despair on the large screen.

The people in the city witnessed tens of

thousands of satellite fragments flying across the sky, and the global communication network built by humans for more than half a century completely collapsed.

The bustling city was completely covered in fire and smoke. Countless buildings had collapsed, and the entire city was in ruins.

Just as disaster and death enveloped the world, a beautiful aurora appeared in the sky!

This was a phenomenon caused by the violent collision of the solar storm and the earth’s magnetic field. Under normal circumstances, it would only appear in the north and south poles.

These auroras were breathtakingly beautiful, but they were also deadly.

As the disaster destroyed almost all communication facilities in the outside world, all signals from the outside world were cut off ten minutes after the disaster.

The world seemed to have suddenly quieted down, and the underground city had become an isolated island.

Fortunately, the city was located deep

underground, and the lights on the streets gave people some comfort.

Just as the people were united to face the disaster, a violent tremor caused them to panic.

At this time, a staff member from the control room ran over and switched the view to a camera in the industrial park.

It turned out that the tremor was caused by a large plane that had just crashed into the park. The entire plane was still burning.

“Director Zhao, according to our observations, there are likely to be survivors on this plane. By right, we should be carrying out a rescue, but the situation now is a little special. Please make a decision.”

The news spread quickly, and many people knew that a plane had crashed outside.

“We should help them! What if there are still survivors inside?”

“We can’t open the door. Who knows what other dangers are waiting outside? What if the safety of the underground city is threatened?” “But all of them are our compatriots! How can we just watch them die like this!”

The people’s opinions were divided into two parts: willing to rescue and not willing to rescue. Both sides were claiming that they were right and no one could give a result that was

convincing to everyone.

Zhao Feng finally spoke.

“I built this city. I think I have the absolute right to deal with this matter, right? Everyone,

please do as I say.”

Zhao Feng’s voice was transmitted to everyone’s ears through the broadcast, and

everyone immediately quieted down.

“Since the plane crashed in front of our house, we can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

“But we must also be on our guard and make sufficient preparations to carry out the rescue so as not to increase the number of casualties.’

“I’m going to form a rescue team now. I’ll provide you with the best conditions and equipment to help you complete the rescue.”

“The rest of you will stay in the underground city. Someone will assign you your jobs.”

“The disaster has arrived. Although this city is safe enough, in order to keep this city running for a long time, you will need to pay with your hard work and labor.”

“If anyone objects, you can voice your

opinion.”

There was complete silence. Zhao Feng was the

boss of the company and the owner of this

underground city.

Now that the city’s population was all from the

company’s employees and their family and friends, no one would object to Zhao Feng’s

words.

They had seen the miserable state of the

outside world. They were lucky enough to have survived.

The rescue team was quickly established. Most of the people were from the security department of the industrial park, and a few strong employees joined.

At this time, the anti-radiation clothing and a

lot of professional equipment that Zhao Feng had prepared before came in handy.

At the same time, Zhao Feng arranged for some

people to enter the monitoring system to observe the situation outside and the movement of the rescue team in real-time.

They would provide them with instructions. If anything happened, they would immediately retreat to the underground city.

After a few hours of rescue, the rescue team

finally brought the survivors back to the underground city.

Half of them were seriously injured and were immediately sent to the infirmary for treatment.

While everyone was still in anxiety, the first

day of the apocalypse had passed. As the sun was facing the other half of the

world, Zhao Feng had some time to catch his breath at night.

However, the solar storm had not stopped. It

was still raging on the other side of the planet. Zhao Feng and the underground city survivors could not relax.

As the solar storm destroyed everything on the ground, it caused many industrial raw materials to leak.

In addition, many of the materials used in

modern civilization were poisonous after being heated and melted, so the entire outside environment was filled with poisonous gas. The underground city was completely sealed off and entered an internal circulation state.

“System, when can this internal circulation be

removed? We won’t have to live underground in the future, will we?”

Zhao Feng asked worriedly. “Ding. Master, don’t worry. The underground

city’s built-in monitoring system will automatically detect changes in the outside environment. When the outside environment

returns to a level that is harmless to the human body, the underground city’s seal will automatically be lifted.”

“The current sealed state is expected to last for

about a week. Please don’t worry, Master.” One week…

It wasn’t a long time, and even if it was longer,

with the underground city’s material reserves, there was no need to worry.

He could make use of this time to let the

citizens of the underground city adapt to life

here and prepare for their return to the surface in the future!

Thus, from the third day, Zhao Feng and Ding Yao appointed the original company’s higher-ups as the senior management of the underground city.

After that, these people were assigned their

own duties, and they assigned tasks to other survivors.

He allowed the people to work in the various facilities of the underground city, turning the place into a truly orderly city as soon as

possible.

The underground city was divided into many areas, including the storage area, industrial area, living area, and even entertainment area.

A large number of electronic devices were stored in it, and almost all the single-player games on the market were installed.

Anyone could come here to play and relax as long as it was not working hours. The operation of the underground city was finally on the right track.
