Chapter 19 The Motherland Stands with You Through Thick and Thin
On the external network.
News about the "Earth's End 1.00 Update" and the chaos in various cities due to the impending apocalypse has topped the trending searches.
CCB Times: "Scientists have largely confirmed that the mysterious doomsday broadcast reached all of humanity, regardless of nationality or race, and even astronauts in outer space received the broadcast!"
Unofficial reports claim: "The University of Tokyo's prophecy has come true! Could this doomsday be related to the University of Tokyo? If the University of Tokyo hadn't made the prophecy, would the doomsday not have happened?!"
A netizen from the United States commented: "I believed what the president and the Western media said, and I believed that there would be no end of the world. But now the doomsday prediction has come, and I don't have any food or water stored at home!"
I rushed to the supermarket now, and the shelves were cleaner than my wallet!
Who on earth is going to steal all the cat and dog food cans?! What are we, a family of four, supposed to do? What will we eat then?!
"Who can tell me how the government can help us!"
A South Korean netizen commented: "I am a senior executive at a company and have a lot of money, but now all the supermarkets in my city are completely out of food! It's not that prices have gone up, it's that there's absolutely nothing left!"
The streets were filled with bewildered and panicked crowds, and car accidents were everywhere!
"Damn it, can I exchange one million kimchi coins for a pack of spicy chicken noodles right now?"
A Sakura-themed netizen commented: "I went to five outdoor gear stores and all the major department stores, but I couldn't even buy a single piece of winter clothing or warm clothing!"
A European netizen commented: "Why did the cost of water, electricity, and gas become four times the usual amount after only two hours?!"
Where is the government? Why isn't it regulating prices?! Are your people in this icy apocalypse, unable to even get heating, just waiting to die?!
A netizen from the United States commented: "I must apologize. I once mocked the students of Dongda University, thinking they were all crazy."
But now it seems we were the ones who went crazy.
The University of Tokyo had predicted this two weeks in advance, but our media, our experts, and our government have turned a blind eye to the danger that our people are about to face.
A netizen commented: "Damn it! My friend went to the University of Tokyo for refuge before, why didn't I go with him?!"
"Yeah, a lot of people went to the University of Tokyo for refuge before. Can we still go there now? For the sake of its reputation, the University of Tokyo should take in us international refugees, right?"
Overseas Runren: "Why are all the airports in the country now closed and no longer accepting overseas tourists?"
The University of Tokyo should have an international humanitarian spirit, allowing us to seek refuge there and providing food, medicine, and other supplies to support the international community!
A user from Dongda University commented: "Don't get involved. (Disdain for soybeans)"
"Our domestic workers are working day and night to resist the apocalypse and defend our motherland."
"Where were you when we were in trouble, but now that we're enjoying good fortune, you want to cut in line!"
"Runren, just stay in your free world. I hope you can get the relief food from the Western government during the Ice Age, haha! (Clown emoji)"
……
……
While many parts of the world are gripped by disorder and panic, Tokyo University remains remarkably calm.
Although countless comrades are still working tirelessly through the night in unknown places, most people should go to sleep after hearing the doomsday broadcast last night.
It's not that the people of Dongda University are carefree.
Instead, everyone knows that since the country had planned everything out half a month ago, it must have thought of everything for all the students of Dongda University, so everyone should just wait and listen to the country's arrangements.
Dongda University, Anhai City Middle School.
Qin Dongyu was awakened by a sudden, unfamiliar chill.
He opened his eyes, first looking at his girlfriend in his arms, then at the window in his bedroom.
The sky outside was completely black.
Keep in mind, it's September now, and it's already past six in the morning. Normally, it would be bright outside by now, but it's gloomy and overcast, as if it's deep winter.
In fact, although it's not the right month, the current temperature does feel like the depths of winter.
Qin Dongyu could clearly see frost flowers on the window, as if covered by a layer of frosted glass.
This unusual drop in temperature made him realize that the "Earth's End 1.00 Update Preview" he had vaguely heard last night was real.
The Ice Age apocalypse has truly arrived.
In just one night, the outside temperature dropped below zero. Who knows what the world will look like at this rate of cooling?
"Sigh, I wonder how Old Li is doing. I can't get in touch with him now."
Just as Qin Dongyu was worrying about his hair, his phone suddenly started buzzing like an alarm.
Then a message saying "University of Tokyo Emergency Broadcast" appeared on his phone screen.
Qin Dongyu quickly shook his sleeping girlfriend:
"Wake up! Wake up! Something important is about to happen!"
Now that the doomsday prophecy of Dongda University has been confirmed to be true, and all the doomsday preparations have come in handy today, Qin Dongyu is now filled with admiration for the country.
He will have to analyze every single directive from the government in the future!
At this moment, not only Qin Dongyu, but also hundreds of thousands of people in Dongda University woke up their families, either looking at their phones or gathering in front of the television, ready to listen to the national broadcast.
A moment later, Fang Huaiyuan appeared before everyone.
"Fellow countrymen, comrades."
Fang Huaiyuan's voice, broadcast clearly throughout the entire Dongda University campus, carried a powerful and unwavering strength that instantly calmed the anxieties in countless hearts.
"Six hours have passed since the broadcast of the [Doomsday 1.00 Update]".
According to the joint assessment by the University of Tokyo Ice Age Doomsday Survival Committee and the University of Tokyo School of Astronomy:
We have confirmed that the global cooling caused by abnormal solar activity has entered an irreversible acceleration phase.
The average temperature across our country will drop below freezing in 72 hours, and will experience a precipitous decline in the following two weeks, with extreme cold weather rapidly sweeping across most of the nation.
Fang Huaiyuan's voice was solemn, but his eyes were bright, as if he were looking at every compatriot through the screen.
"Therefore, on behalf of the committee, I solemnly appeal to all my fellow citizens:"
From this moment on, abandon all illusions.
Entrust your trust to the organization and your comrades, and unite your strength for the collective and the nation.
Fellow countrymen, please resolutely obey unified command and prepare to engage in this arduous and protracted battle that concerns the survival of civilization!
"Next, we will use communities, streets, and villages as basic units. All residents will be asked to present their ID cards and take the uniformly allocated transportation to the pre-designated underground shelters in each city."
Throughout the event, grassroots staff wearing identification badges, youth volunteers, and soldiers will guide and assist the public and maintain order.
Please remain calm, trust them, and follow their instructions.
"Upon arrival at the shelter, we will implement a wartime rationing and management system."
Electricity, heating, and domestic water supply shall be allocated in a unified, fair, and guaranteed manner.
Food, basic medicines, and winter supplies will be distributed in fixed quantities and in a centralized manner based on demand.
At the same time, we will register and assess the skills of all eligible and healthy individuals, and then centrally allocate them to production and construction positions.
Whether it's maintaining facilities, participating in underground agricultural work, producing materials, providing technical support, offering medical services, or maintaining order.
Fellow countrymen, in this apocalypse, each of you will become an indispensable cog in the struggle for the survival of civilization.
Only by putting our beliefs into practice and working hard can we keep going.
Fang Huaiyuan's tone softened somewhat, but became even more profound:
"Fellow countrymen, the road ahead will inevitably be difficult and long."
But we are not fighting alone. You are surrounded by comrades who share your blood, and behind you is the nation giving its all.
"Please keep discipline in mind, remain steadfast in your beliefs, and support one another."
"Our motherland, we stand with you; we will weather any storm together!"
Fang Huaiyuan made the promise with utmost solemnity.
The broadcast has ended.
Qin Dongyu's phone screen went dark, returning to the standby screen.
He held his girlfriend's cold hand tightly. They looked at each other and saw a light in each other's eyes that was gradually overcoming their confusion and fear.
That is a kind of determination called "faith".
