Chapter 97 Are scientific research results really more important than human life?
Help or evacuate? This question may not even have occurred to Martha herself. The first person to feel entangled was not Lin Yan who was right in front of her, but the Alian Chiefs Palace thousands of miles away!
Prince Abel jumped up on the spot and anxiously typed a message in the chat room:
"Martha, what nonsense are you talking about? Run! How much of these scientific research results can be preserved is China's business. Do you want to risk your life?"
However, before he could press the send button, his old father's arm blocked his way.
“Father!? You are…”
"Confused."
The old father stared at the fruit trees and fields on the screen and said calmly, "You will soon go to China to discuss cooperation between the two countries. By then, these scientific research results will be treasures that we can buy directly! If they are destroyed in this sandstorm now, it will not only be the Chinese who will be delayed!"
Abel's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that such words would come out of his father's mouth!
"Father, are you going to put my sister in danger just for this reason?"
"It won't be too dangerous, see."
The old father pointed at the screen and said, "The researchers are much more disciplined than you think. Most of the seeds have been classified and backed up long ago. Only some seeds that are being tested need to be retrieved from outside. If this Chinese boy goes to help, ten minutes or so will be enough to pack up everything and take it away!"
10 minutes!?
According to the warning, the storm will arrive in 30 minutes. The evacuation journey to Ak City takes a full 20 minutes. Spending another 10 minutes here to help recover the seeds would be a joke on Shama's life!
Father, when did you become so cold and indifferent? Did you not even care about Shama's life? Didn't you love Shama the most?
Abel seemed to be meeting his father for the first time, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
However, the old father just glanced at him coldly.
"Abel, you have really been spoiled by the good life. For at least three years, you only need to bear such a small risk, and you are still hesitant about it? Do you think that our Arab Emirates has abundant oil, so abundant that you can rest assured that you can live on oil for the rest of your life?"
Abel: “I…”
If he were there, he would definitely rush into the garden without hesitation and do whatever the researchers asked him to do without saying a word! Sandstorm? Who the hell cares about you?
But the problem was that the person present was not him, but his sister! His most important sister!
He doesn't want his sister to die in the sandstorm, what's wrong with that!
"help!"
Lin Yan reacted quickly.
When Li Peng resolutely turned around and went back to save the seeds, Lin Yan knew that he would definitely not be able to convince them.
Lin Yan himself may not care about these research results, and may not care whether this experimental area will be destroyed, but he will never watch these most precious and respectable scientific researchers delay their evacuation time!
If you stay and help them pack their things in one minute, they will have one more chance of survival!
Instead of wasting your breath trying to get them to leave, it’s better to just roll up your sleeves!
"Brother Yan!"
Linklei looked at Lin Yan with gratitude.
He was also worried that if Lin Yan wanted to leave, but he had to stay, both sides would be embarrassed. As natural brothers, they had a tacit understanding. Without saying anything to each other, the two of them roared and followed the researchers into the orchard to help recover samples and seeds of important fruit trees.
Martha was not idle either. She knew nothing about farm work and would only make things worse if she went to the fields. So she followed another group of scientific researchers and helped them move the scientific research equipment and prepare to retreat!
In order to prevent unexpected accidents like today, the research institute always has three trucks on standby to transfer and evacuate important scientific research equipment at any time.
However, time is too tight now, and some less important equipment can only be discarded with gritted teeth, praying that it can withstand this round of level 13 storm.
But even so, after Lin Yan and the others had collected the seed samples, they looked at the time and found that 15 minutes had passed since the alarm was sounded!
They only have 15 minutes left to evacuate!
In the distance, a large, gloomy, dark yellow tornado seemed to have taken shape. Although it was dozens of kilometers away, one could seem to feel the tremendous pressure from that tornado.
Obviously, there was an extremely strong wind group, but at this moment, the research area was so quiet that there was not a trace of wind or sand. If you didn't look up, no one would believe that this place would become a mess in just ten minutes.
"Oh my god, the tornado looked like it was right in front of me from dozens of kilometers away. It was everywhere I looked. How big is it? A radius of 10 kilometers? 20 kilometers?"
"I just checked, the highest wind speed level in the entire Blue Planet is 12, but China seems to have its own set of wind speed calculation levels. How strong is the 13th level they mentioned? I can only know it by seeing it in person."
"You still want to watch? I don't want to! If I were the anchor, I would just run back to the storm shelter in Ake City and not even look at that place!"
"No, I don't understand why you are so nervous. Didn't the warning over there say that this test area will be hit in 30...15 minutes? By then, the anchor and his men would have already withdrawn, so they can't be hurt, right?"
"Are you fucking blind? This dust tornado that hasn't even formed yet is already dozens of kilometers long and wide. If it comes over, the entire test area, demonstration area, and even the urban area of Ak City will be affected! You still want to escape? The only way to escape is to quickly get back to the underground air-raid shelter in Ak City, or you'll die!"
Indeed! If we can’t get back to Ak City within 15 minutes, or even if we can’t get to the air-raid shelter within 15 minutes, our lives will be in danger!
Linklei didn't dare to waste time and sat in the main driver's seat. But in an instant, he seemed to think of something and turned his head to ask Lin Yan:
"Brother Yan, your hand is fine, right?"
"Get the hell off me!"
Lin Yan kicked Lao Wu directly to the passenger seat and shouted, "The sandstorm is getting stronger now. I'm not very familiar with the road conditions here. Lao Wu, if you dare to give me the wrong directions, I will push you into a frying pan and give you a hot bath before I go to hell!"
"Don't worry, Brother Yan, I'm very familiar with this road. Not to mention the wind and sand, I can point it well with my eyes closed!"
"Okay then! Everyone, fasten your seat belts! And fellow researchers in the cars behind, make sure to keep up with my speed! It will be troublesome if you fall behind!"
Rumble, rumble...
With a burst of ear-piercing engine roar, Lin Yan ignored any driving safety rules and stepped on the accelerator. The entire off-road vehicle began to rush towards the direction of Ak City!
At this moment, dozens of kilometers away, the dull sandstorm finally gathered into a complete super-large cyclone, and the whistling wind also began to spread wildly in all directions!
