Chapter 34: Warning, the Tornado has Accelerated!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Warning! Warning! Citizens who have not gone to the shelter, remain at home. The tornado has accelerated and is arriving at an even faster speed. The estimated time of arrival is in 30 minutes. The tornado is carrying rocks, hide in a sturdy room, or in the basement, shut all passages tightly… ”
News related to sheltering from the tornado was everywhere, from the TV, to the Internet, and even on mobile phones. People were afraid that there would still be some who recklessly go out for fun.
There was no way to stop this tornado, they could only let it take its course.
At a Meteorological Research Institute.
They had already mobilized all of the cameras in the city and had sent out many testing instruments, vehicles, binoculars, and even satellite observations.
Why were they doing this?
Because they have never seen, observed, or heard of a stone tornado.
Although there have been many tornadoes in the world every year, this was the first time they were seeing a stone tornado.
Fire tornadoes were tornadoes combined with flames, water tornadoes were tornadoes combined with water, and tornadoes that occurred on land were called land tornadoes.
But very few people, perhaps no one, has ever seen a tornado combined with stones.
The scientists even wanted to name this tornado a stone tornado.
This was because one could clearly see from every angle and direction that the tornado had stones in it.
While it was very normal for a tornado to have stones in it, but it was rare to see this many stones.
“With such a powerful tornado, a house would be destroyed if it passed by. In addition to the damage caused by the stones, I’m afraid that all that would be left of the city would be a pile of ashes.”
“Not necessarily. If the tornado happens to go in this direction and falls into this sinkhole as it passes by, then it might go to the extinct volcano instead, and continue moving southward.”
“Well, the problem is that with the current radial cycle and speed of the tornado, this direction is not within the prediction at all. I really don’t think it that the tornado would just ‘obediently’ leave.”
“Stop arguing. Our primary goal is to collect data and have better preventative measure in the future. It’s the first time we’ve seen so many stones in a tornado, we better to collect all kinds of data.”
“Yes.”
The many climate scholars argued for a while, then they continued to work quietly after their leader diffused the situation.
“Hold on, I think I see a figure?!”
One of the scientists pointed at one of the many screens of the cameras while pushing his glasses up.
All the scientists were stunned.
‘A person?’
This tornado was about to arrive, and some guy was still out there, were they seeing things?
“Look at what he’s doing now?!” An old expert asked casually.
The scholar hesitated for a moment, then narrowed his eyes to get a better look and said slowly, “He seems to be… drinking coffee… by the window.”
Hearing this, the old expert felt a little depressed.
At this time, he still wanted to drink coffee? !
The tornado was coming soon, yet he still had the mood?!
“There’s one more person!” The scholar lost his composure and shouted immediately.
“These two people… seem to be… naked…”the scholar couldn’t see clearly because the camera wasn’t in HD.
“Ahem, that’s enough information. Alright, let them contribute to science.”
“It’s not easy to have a human test subject. As all of you can see, it’s not that we’re forcing him to stay there, we are merely observing this person. So whatever happens has nothing to do with us, but we still have to record his data.”
The old expert could not believe that there were still people who had not left for the storm shelter.
He had always wanted to use humans as test subjects, but it was too inhumane, so he never had the chance. This was his chance.
This old expert was simply ecstatic!
“Let’s begin the test, test subjects 001 and 002, code name coffee. Subject 01 and 02 are in an apartment building. The main purpose of this test is to observe their adaptability in tornadoes and how they react to mega natural disasters… The test begins.”
After the old expert finished speaking, dozens of camera screens of different sizes turned on in front of them/ The cameras were placed in various cities.
Among the camera screens, the man and woman were on screen in the middle.
Their surroundings were full of environmental disasters.
The color of the sky gradually darkened as layers of gravel drifted in the air.
If one had not seen this scene with their very own eyes, it would be hard to believe.
At first glance, one may mistake it for the end of the world.
“Estimated time of arrival, 10 minutes.”
“The first observation target, subject 01, appears to be calm. He is even dancing in the room, and he is suspected to be playing jazz. We’re not not sure if they know about the tornado, but regardless, subject 01 is still very happy.”
“Estimated time of arrival: nine minutes.”
“The main observation target, subject 01, has disappeared from the camera’s range of vision. We don’t know if he has found out about the tornado and has went to seek refuge. This surveillance may come to an end…”
“Estimated time…”
Every minute, the scholar would record the current situation based on the actions of the surveillance target.
Everyone was disappointed but also happy when they heard that the observation targets had disappeared.
They were disappointed because they might not be able to have human test subjects again.
They were happy because the test subjects had taken refuge.
They were conflicted, but the monitoring continued.
As they got further, their hearts were in their mouths.
They two people really seemed as if they were not afraid of the tornado, nor did they care at all about the arrival of the tornado.
They were faced with these circumstances, yet they were still kissing, dancing, and enjoying the scenery.
Wasn’t this strange?!
“Continue monitoring. T-minus 30 seconds… 29… 28…”
..
Meanwhile.
Bruce and Aurora were standing by the window.
“Look, this tornado is so spectacular,” Bruce said to Aurora as he looked at the tornado.
Aurora’s heart stopped for a moment because the view was indeed spectacular. However, beautiful things were extremely powerful, especially the tornado.
No one would believe that there was such a spectacular view if one didn’t mention the end of the world.
“It’s beautiful, but it’s a little scary…” Aurora’s eyes saw the tornado getting closer and closer, and her heart began to beat faster.
Bruce, on the other hand, was unusually calm. “It’s okay, I’ll protect you.”
Aurora nodded lightly.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The sound of the tornado became louder and louder, the glass windows kept on shaking and letting out low-pitched roars, as if telling those around it that their days were numbered!
DONG!
The tornado had arrived in front of them…
