Chapter 7 Rescue Operation Begins
Chen Xin was also sitting in front of the TV, focusing on this operation. After all, it concerned the life and death of all humanity. At this moment, all media across the Blue Star were reporting on the matter non-stop, 24 hours a day.
Although the meteor was getting closer to the Blue Star, and countries had issued disaster warnings, the meteor was still approaching the Moon’s orbit, and the Blue Star hadn’t experienced any substantial impact. Therefore, Chen Xin hadn’t retreated to the shelter he dug for himself.
Moreover, although the shelter was safe, being buried deep underground meant there was no internet or TV. If Chen Xin wanted to stay updated on the rescue operation, he still needed to stay home and watch TV.
As for the other people in Chen Xin’s city, they had already been evacuated in batches during this time and had entered the shelters, which were mostly remodeled by now.
If the operation was successful, they would leave the shelters after the successful interception of the meteor. But if the interception failed, everyone would spend the remainder of most people’s lives in the shelter.
Due to personal reasons, Chen Xin didn’t live in the city center. Although government officials had tried to persuade him to go to a shelter, because he had already dug his own, he stayed at home instead of going to a state-constructed shelter.
And although the state had done its utmost to remodel the shelters and tried to make it possible for everyone to enter one, some shelters hadn’t been completed on time, and the capacity of the shelters was limited. In fact, not everyone could enter the shelters.
According to Chen Xin’s estimation, his city was relatively favorable since the population wasn’t large, allowing most people to enter the shelters.
