During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 160: When disaster relief is in progress
North America is a unique land. The soil here is fertile and the geographical features of plain mountains, rivers and rivers vary. Especially the plain land suitable for cultivation and its many, is almost the best choice of a natural farm pasture.
And because of geographic location, North America, especially the United States. Although there are long coastlines at both ends of the United States, there is little danger of a tsunami.
And there are also few earthquakes. From a certain perspective, this land is the most suitable place for human survival. Natural disasters are extremely rare in this place.
Of course, less does not mean not. The United States in North America has its own most important and frequent natural disasters. That is a terrible storm.
There is a high probability of windstorms in this country, and there are many cases every year. All together, the direct economic losses caused by windstorms in the United States in a year exceed 2 billion US dollars.
Whether it is a terrible cyclone tornado in the interior or a hurricane in the coastal area. When the violent airflow crosses the border, they will take away everything that can blow up to the sky together.
Including trees, roofs of houses, cows in the wild, fish in fish ponds, and even your car parked in the back garden. In areas where hurricanes or tornadoes are frequent, almost every family has a refuge.
Usually, a basement with a depth of about two to three meters is opened in the yard near the corner of the wall. The part of the opening is generally made of steel, and the foundation is extremely strong. One or two ventilation windows for ventilation equipment are generally connected to the ventilation equipment of the house.
Most experienced and proactive homeowners will purchase emergency supplies before the windy season. Including batteries, use of diesel generators, emergency lights. There are also various storage-resistant high-calorie foods such as sealed candy chocolates and biscuits and the most important: large amounts of clean water and diesel generators.
After the weather forecast predicts that a hurricane will cross the border and evaluate its power. Generally, parents will choose the coping style according to their power level.
If it is a strong wind below level 8, most people will choose to stay in the house. But if it is a strong hurricane of grade 8 or higher, even a grade 12. So as long as there is a refuge in the home, the best option is to go to the refuge.
The hurricane is relatively easy to predict, because the direction of the wind eye can be observed in the atmospheric cloud layer to judge the scale of the hurricane and the route to be traversed.
The cyclones in the inland areas are a more terrifying existence. Because many times the formation of cyclones or tornadoes is very sudden and rapid.
Temperature and pressure will affect the formation of tornado. From f0 to f5, different levels represent different powers. f5 is the highest power level of a tornado.
The wind speed exceeds 330 kilometers per hour, which can easily roll up the train and completely destroy the houses of ordinary families.
Even if you are hiding in an underground refuge, you ’d better pray all the gods of your faith and let them bless them. A tornado of level f5 will not stay on your head for too long, otherwise no one can be sure that you and your refuge are safe for the next second.
This is a country with frequent windstorms, and many people have experience in self-help and emergency response to windstorms. Because many people know that when a disaster occurs, no one can be trusted. Only the guns in your hands and the emergency supplies in the refuge are essential.
Overall, the speed of the government ’s disaster relief has not been very satisfactory. For example, Leonard thinks so. Even after doing a lot of preparation before, things are now very bad.
Because the hurricane Florida brought a lot of rain, the entire city was flooded, and he could only rescue a small amount of what he left in the refuge.
And most of his house was destroyed, the entire roof on the second floor was completely lifted off.
The Leonard family sits in the only well-maintained master bedroom on the second floor.
"Our way to get out of here." This is what Leonard said to himself and his wife and eight-year-old son: "I do n’t know how much material can be found in the city, but our emergency food can only support our family. Three days, and no electricity. "
"My mobile phone has just barely received the signal, the government is still the same, let the army come in to maintain law and order, the follow-up rescue work does not know when it will be launched. The material transported does not know when to return. We cannot stay. This is waiting to be killed. ”Leonard looked at his wife seriously and said,“ Now the hurricane has stopped and road traffic has recovered. We can try to leave here first. Waiting for the water level to return after a while. Staying here is not a good choice , Someone must have not prepared before. Maybe someone has been hungry all day. "
"Their tempers are not so good, and I don't want to conflict with them." Leonard's words made his wife's lips tight.
She said nervously: "But there are also dangers on the road."
Leonard flipped a revolver from the bedroom drawer and began to reload the pistol: "Yes, but staying here is almost the same. At least until enough relief supplies arrive, the city will be dangerous . Very hungry people can do everything. The whole city is flooded, and there are certainly few foods to find. "
When Leonard loaded the revolver's bullets and handed it to his wife, his wife took a deep breath and took the pistol. The child in her arms looked nervous.
Leonard touched his son ’s head: “It ’s okay, do n’t worry, there are mom and dad.” He grinned reluctantly.
At the same time, I also found a short-barreled shotgun. The city after the disaster was not much safer than the wild forest. The news of various robberies after the disaster was not once or twice. Sometimes people were more terrible than the beasts.
When everything is ready and some emergency spare materials are packed into the backpack, Leonard is ready to take the family away. He noticed that his little son was gone.
As he was about to find his son, his younger son came in carrying a box of his toys. It seems that he wanted to take these toys together.
"No, no. Raymond, we are not going out to play, we can't take so many toys." Leonard has a headache, and his temper is a little grumpy because of the bad situation now.
So he unknowingly increased his tone, a bit like roaring: "Now put those things back to me! Go now!"
The appearance of Leonard terrified his eight-year-old son Raymond, who stood there holding his mouth and looked like he was about to be scared by his father.
"You scared him!" Leonard's wife ran towards her child, held Raymond in her arms, and was dissatisfied with the overreaction of her husband: "Raymond is only eight years old! You can be good and He communicates, but do n’t use the roar method! The storm caused Raymond to be terrified. He wanted to bring a personal belonging that he was familiar with! ”
Leonard touched his frowning brows: "Okay, my reaction just overdone. Raymond listened, you can bring one, just one toy, okay?"
Raymond nodded. He selected one of his favorite dolls from the toy box, an Iron Man around Marvel. At present, Iron Man has produced an animation to start playing, which is one of Raymond's favorite animated characters.
There are other superhero's dolls in his toy box, most of which are Marvel products. Including Spider-Man, Tekken, Captain America and so on.
Leonard sniffed his nose: "Okay Raymond, bring your baby Iron Man." Leonard didn't say anything on his chest: take it, take it. Anyway, these **** heroes will not really appear, just like the government's rescue. Never appear the same when it is really needed!
Just when the Leonard family was about to leave, it was banging, this is the sound of the windows being knocked. Leonard warned out his short-barreled shotgun towards the window sill.
"Who is there!" Leonard asked nervously. He never shot anyone, never in the past, and hoped not to.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." The two people who came in from the windowsill looked weird, and they wore strange costumes. It's kind of like a superhero in the movie.
A man and a woman, both of whom have a label on their chests: Justice League. And they held two boxes in their hands.
After the man with the Justice League label put a box of pure water on his hand on the window sill, he also put a box of compressed food brought by his female companion on the window sill ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Smiled and said to Leonard: "We are not malicious, but just to help."
Leonard put away the shotgun and was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous. What department of the government are you?" Leonard is a bit strange. I received a message in the morning that the government was just preparing to shoot the army to maintain law and order The relief supplies arrived so soon?
"Not a government department! I know! I know! They are New York's super League of Legends!" Eight-year-old Raymond suddenly pointed excitedly at the two Justice League members.
The two made a cool gesture to Raymond before saying to Leonard: "Sir, I think you may not have to leave here. Because we are all here."
"What? What makes you all here?" Leonard asked, a little puzzled. He didn't know exactly what New York Justice League was.
Suddenly a noise came from above his head, and the male Justice League member pointed to the sky and said, "You may know it if you see it."
Leonard walked over to the damaged roof and looked up, dozens of helicopters flew over his head.
And Raymond was lying on the window sill excitedly shouting: "Is Iron Man!"
One project after another flew from Raymond's sight with Iron Man Armor. This time it was not a toy, but a real Iron Man.
Leonard moved his finger, and when he looked back at the window sill, the two of Justice League had disappeared.
Leonard looked at Raymond, who was yelling excitedly by the window, and his wife, who was checking the water and emergency items just delivered.
He finally looked at his son ’s box of toys, and Leonard shook his head.
Okay, maybe superhero is not as useless as you think?
