Chapter IX The Eve of the Disaster

The surrounding atmosphere, because of this sentence, has a brief solidification.

Jackson didn't expect that he just took his children out for a trip, but learned such crazy news that the world would be destroyed?

Oh, no, No, No, No, No, he should have gone to his music class on Saturday, and Lily should have been learning his karate, which was just a normal day. Jackson tried to comfort himself, but gradually accepted this fact under the calm eyes of Yang Yang.

"This news sounds really frustrating."

“But this is the truth.”

Jackson turned on the radio in the car next to him and tried to listen to some news to change his attention. However, in Yellowstone Park, a place far away from the city, there were not many signals. He changed several channels and a man was talking to the audience.

“I want to know where the earthquake will start?”

"Oh, I think it's Hollywood, where the ground has begun to crack."

When Jackson looked up, he found that Charlie, whom he encountered during the day wearing headphones, was broadcasting in a modified truck not far ahead.

Zhang Yang also saw it, and the two looked at each other and walked towards Charlie together.

"Thank you for the call, Bill, I'm Charlie Frost, and I'm here for you live in Yellowstone."

"This place will soon become the largest active volcano in the world." Charlie turned his head and saw Zhang Yang and the others, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Friends, take a break and come back soon."

Charlie tilted his head and looked at Zhang Yang with a strange look. It should be Zhang Yang's words, which were the same as the result he had predicted.

"If I don't mind, will I ask you a question?"

Jackson asked first, his conclusion just now was a little shaken, and Charlie nodded.

“I have a minute.”

Then he picked up a pickled cucumber, which was his pickled kimchi.

"Do you want one?"

"Oh, no, thank you. I don't understand why it starts in Hollywood."

Jackson said his most concerned issue because his home lives in California, on the San Andreas fault, not far from Los Angeles, and Hollywood, in Los Angeles. All this made him feel a sense of crisis.

"The great disaster, the end of the world, is the day of judgment, my friend. Christianity said it is the day of judgment, and the Mayans predicted it a long time ago, and the Bible said it."

"Your friend is also very clear about this, why don't you ask him?"

He took out two cans of beer and handed it to Zhang Yang and Jackson one can each.

"Yes, he just told me about the Forbidden City, but I still feel a little unbelievable."

"If you want to know, you can download it on my blog, and we are welcome to donate funds."

Charlie opened his old computer, which was a flash of the apocalypse that he made himself, exuding a black humor.

"In ancient times, the Mayans were the first nation to discover the end of the world. They predicted that in 2012, disaster would come and the planets in the solar system would line up in a straight line, which would happen every 64W years."

64W? Jackson remembered what Zhang Yang said just now. The last eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano was 64W years ago. According to this inference, the time now, that is, 64W years later, is exactly one cycle.

"The earth is like an orange. The sun emits a lot of rays. They are neutrinos. The center of the earth will start to melt from inside, so that the crust can drift freely. Einstein also supports this view."

Then on the flash screen, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis appeared. Then the entire earth was flooded by water, and several numbers were displayed on the red skeleton.

"The end of the world is December 21, 2012."

"This must be kept confidential."

Charlie pulled out another can of beer from the refrigerator and explained: "Think about it, the stock market will collapse, and then the economy will collapse, and the dollar will collapse, wars, massacres, and the whole world will be in chaos."

"I don't believe anyone can keep this secret."

Then Jackson indeed doubted that Zhang Yang had been by the side without saying a word, and said lightly:

"Because they are all dead."

Charlie pulled down a curtain next to him, which was covered with text cut from the newspaper, and the man in the middle said, "The director of the Louvre Museum in France died in the tunnel."

"Your friends are right, they are all dead, and the government will not let them leak the news."

Jackson looked at many people above and suddenly pointed at one of them and said, "This is Professor Mayer. He helped me when he wrote a book."

"He was in charge of the Atlantis spacecraft project, or the Ark, and he died two months ago."

"He is one of my fanatical listeners. He knows everything, what the government is doing, how it is doing, why it is done, by the way, he also gave me a map."

Map of the ark!

In Zhang Yang's memory, he only knew that Ark was in Tibet, China, a place called Zhuoming Valley.

“What do they want to do with the map?”

Charlie hesitated for a long time, glanced privately, and confirmed that there was no one who eavesdropped, and then said to Zhang Yang and Jackson, "Brother, they are building spaceships, and the spaceships to survive when the disaster comes."

"Nonsense, I have to leave, I'm going back to Earth."

Jackson obviously didn't believe it, so he stood up and left, Charlie said behind.

"Do you know, they are selling seats."

"Leave me three."

"Impossible. We ordinary people have no chance. Only Bill Gates, or the rich man in Russia, have this money."

Jackson walked away, only Zhang Yang stayed here, Charlie looked at him, shook his head and sighed.

"My friend, do you know how much a seat costs?"

Zhang Yang shook his head.

"1 billion euros."

"I believe you, and, according to my inference, this shipbuilding place is likely to be in China, because there is the highest peak in the world."

Charlie thought Zhang Yang didn't believe him, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yang nodded and accepted what he said. Charlie looked at Zhang Yang, his face suddenly became very serious, and then formally stretched out his hands.

"Friends, there are not many people as sober as us. I'm very happy to know you. Let me introduce it formally. I'm Charlie Frost, a folk scientist."

"I am Zhang Yang, a Chinese, and an amateur geological expert."

The two hands were held together, and then the two met formally, and Zhang Yang also received a system prompt.

"You have officially been recognized by Charlie Frost, and Charlie's favorability for you increased by 30 points."

Finally, he increased his favorability. Zhang Yang had no prompt to increase his favorability before meeting Charlie. Only after he received Charlie's recognition was there was a prompt.

If Zhang Yang wants to save Charlie, he must gain Charlie's trust. In the original plot, Charlie knew that the volcano erupted, but still died in order to watch the volcano up close. For such a completely desirable scientist who doesn't even have a name, he must use some special methods to persuade him to leave.

...

California, Los Angeles.

In a supermarket, Jackson's ex-wife Kate was shopping with Gordon in a supermarket. While the two were talking, a crack appeared on the road outside and spread to the supermarket.

"Kate, I don't understand how you lived with him for so long. In order to give birth to Noah, you dropped out of medical school and raised Lily alone, but he wrote his rags next to his notebook..."

"He is the father of my child, and that's not rags, that's a novel."

Gordon has been asking Jackson's questions, while Kate has always maintained Jackson's dignity, Gordon said disdainfully.

"Okay, it's a novel published, how many books have been published? 422?"

At the supermarket cashier, a shopping cart slid to the side and a crack appeared on the ground, spreading to the feet of Gordon and Katie, while they were still arguing.

The crack suddenly became bigger and the ground trembled violently. Gordon and Kate each grabbed the pillar next to the shopping rack and did not fall down.

Yellowstone Park.

The next morning, Zhang Yang was woken up by a noise. It was Jackson. Because he left in a hurry and forgot to bring anti-worming drugs, his daughter Katie was bitten by mosquitoes.

"I have to take them to buy some mosquito repellent."

Zhang Yang looked at Jackson going to a small supermarket in the camping area, and he stretched out his watch.

8:15 am on the 20th.

Zhang Yang looked at the Grand Canyon in the distance and murmured:

"It's December 20th now, and there is still one day before the end of the world!"

Yellowstone Park, small supermarket.

"Ding, Ding."

Jackson rang the bell twice and a woman came over at the counter.

"Well, is there anything here to deal with mosquito bites?"

"Repellent mosquitoes or cure bags."

"Give both of them to you."

Katie was still scratching her body, and she had a lot of bags bitten by mosquitoes. The woman took both medicines over. At this time, the message played on the TV on the roof attracted Jackson's attention.

"Last night, an earthquake occurred in Los Angeles. A supermarket was in a cracked crack, and no casualties were caused."

A woman is being interviewed, Katie's teacher Brynbaum, the supermarket where the earthquake occurred was near Jackson's ex-wife Kate's house. In the back, the entire supermarket was turned into two halves by a huge crack, and this wide crack was spread across the ground.

At this time, Noah was trying a sunglasses, his cell phone rang, he said a few words and looked at Jackson.

"Mom, let's go back right away."

The White House, the United States.

Carl Anhuser is explaining to the US president:

"Fortunately, we have 4 arks to use at that time and we can save 400,000 people. This is already great news for me."

In a secret conference room, the presidents, prime ministers, presidents, prime ministers, and prime ministers of eight other major powers were having video conferences, and Andrian was explaining.

"We have no time anymore, the best case scenario may be two or three days."

After some debate, the US president issued the final resolution.
