Chapter 7 For whom the death knell tolls (7)
Men farming and women weaving are the standard structure of the ideal Confucian society, but don’t forget that before entering the agricultural society where the dawn of civilization first appeared, humans had lived by hunting and gathering for millions of years. If the earliest agricultural farming starts, the agricultural social life model that lasts for ten thousand years will be difficult to leave much marks in human nature.
Survival of the fittest is the basic law of nature. In prehistoric times, men went out to hunt, while women took care of their children at home and took on the work of collecting wild vegetables and wild fruits. This is the cornerstone of the existence of human society.
In essence, every man has a fanatical impulse that belongs to hunters. It is precisely because of the nature of a natural hunter that Wu Han joined the ranks of military enthusiasts very early, and the dormitory is full of military journals and related books. It is more than enough to run a military literacy class. On the contrary, urban beauties in the Public Relations Department would rather spend a whole day shopping and engage in endless bargaining wars with merchants than waste a second of irrelevant information. This is also a characteristic determined by evolution. The natural difference between men and women is to use an old saying to explain that there is only the division of labor in revolution, and there is no distinction between high and low.
The extensive military knowledge reserves made Wu Han vaguely feel the seriousness of the problems he is facing now, referring to the unusual situations that have already appeared. Because of this, he was unable to maintain a relaxed and humorous detachment like these women and tease the situation in a difficult situation.
When Wu Han thought of those strange and inexplicable scenes, he frowned, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, saying as if he was joking:
"This power outage is definitely not caused by an earthquake, so I have to guess it! It's probably a nuclear weapon test. If you read the news frequently, you should know that the poor neighbor on our eastern peninsula suddenly conducted underground nuclear tests in order to scare the world's largest country. If I guess correctly, they did a big deal this time. Look at the killing range of this electromagnetic pulse, the equivalent of nuclear weapons is absolutely not small. Maybe it was a test of a hydrogen bomb!"
Although Wu Han said it very confidently, this does not mean that he really thought so. The country on the eastern Goryeo Peninsula, which is also a poor country and is also adjacent to the magical country of the four ancient civilizations, is known as the largest country in the universe. It has always claimed to conduct nuclear tests. Although they cannot be said to have no chance to test thermonuclear weapons, but the actual situation must be studied carefully. If the nuclear test has a practical destructive effect on the Taohuayuan scenic spot hundreds of kilometers away from the border, then what should be the situation around the test site? No matter what tests Bei Goryeo conducts, it is not the reason that its roof will be bombarded into the sky first!
A small country with a small territory will really go crazy to test such powerful weapons on its narrow land? What's more, within this terrifying killing radius, many cities and villages near the two major countries will cause serious diplomatic disputes, and it will not be easy to do it by just an apology statement.
Recalling these heart-wrenching doubts, Wu Han felt like a heavy stone was pressed on his heart, and even breathing would be difficult. Since it would be useless to tell the truth, in order to avoid scaring these confused women, after weighing the pros and cons, Wu Han finally chose a kind lie.
Others may be able to feel at ease when they get this answer, but Sun Meng jumped up like a dream, widened her apricot kernel eyes in horror, and exclaimed:
"Ah! My dad went to pick up my mom's plane, will they..."
Wu Han had long thought of this difficult problem, got up and came to Sun Meng, reached out to support her shoulder and looked at Sun Meng, and said firmly:
"Don't worry, I'll drive out to find it later, there will be no problem."
If you don’t care about things, you will be confused. Just when your parents’ life and death are uncertain, Sun Meng is also confused for a moment. When she tried to calm her emotions, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, and said indescribable:
"Okay, I'll go with you."
After the snowfall in winter in the northeast, the road conditions on the ice and snow roads are extremely complicated, especially when it is approaching dusk, it is getting darker and driving on the ice and snow roads at night. It is difficult for an experienced driver to ensure safety. Wu Han knows very well that the danger of going out to find someone this time is not low. If he takes Sun Meng with him, who will take responsibility for the problem? After he hesitating for a moment, Wu Han, who was in a dilemma, could not help but think of Sun Qing's care for him, and felt more and more troubled. He was treated with a drop of water and was repaid with a spring. In a dilemma, Wu Han could only sigh helplessly. If he didn't try his best now, he would be uneasy in the future.
After trying to convince Sun Meng but failed, Wu Han shook his head and said:
"...Okay! But I'll say ugly words in front of you. After you go out, you have to obey my command. If you agree, you will take you there, otherwise..."
"Okay, I promise you."
"...Okay, let's go!"
The valley in the core part of the Peach Blossom Land Scenic Area is wide and is still messed up by the ice and snow collapsed from high places. It is not difficult to imagine that the winding mountain road leading out is very likely to be blocked by the snow that has fallen. Wu Han changed his cold clothes when he was out and wandered around the huge underground parking lot. Finally, he chose a heavy snow clearing truck made in Canada. This snow clearing truck is the largest motor vehicle in the entire scenic area. In this situation, only this kind of big man equipped with a huge snow clearing shovel and an ultra-large horsepower diesel engine with a weight of more than ten tons can walk through the mountain road with a dangerous obstacle.
As the huge snow-clearing forklift crushed the snow and ice on the ground, it made a squeaking and harsh sound, and slowly stopped beside Sun Meng. Wu Han stood up and opened the door on the side of the passenger seat, waved to Sun Meng below and said:
"Come up!"
Never seen such a snow-clearing forklift at close range. Sun Meng looked up at the giant creature close to two stories high. She opened her mouth in surprise. She looked at the forklift in awe. Sun Meng carefully grabbed the handrail and climbed into the cab. Wu Han closed the car door for her, and without saying anything more, and stepped on the accelerator directly. "Boom..." As the high-power diesel engine with a maximum power of 1,300 horsepower roared like thunder, the huge forklift began to move and roar towards the highway.
"Hey, wait a moment, there seems to be something in front!"
Along the way, he kept forcing the snow-blocked section and walked forward for nearly an hour, Sun Meng, who was in charge of observing the observation, discovered the abnormal situation on the road ahead. Then she patted Wu Han on the shoulder and reminded him to pay attention to the situation ahead. Just over a hundred meters away, a huge piece of ice cube as big as a truck was lying hideously on the mountain road. The road that could accommodate two heavy trucks in parallel was already blocked by large ice cubes. The amazing ice cube on the road ahead blocked the way. Wu Han switched the lights back and forth, and used the help of the headlight lighting to look back and forth, and suddenly his face changed suddenly.
In a corner of the huge ice cube, Wu Han keenly discovered a fragment shining with metallic luster. Immediately, a palpitation came. Wu Han had a premonition and then said to Sun Meng quietly:
Chapter completed!
