#2300 - Chaos
December 25, 1032 in the Xia Yin calendar.
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Washington, D.C., and St. Louis, these once "world-famous" developed cities, are almost all shrouded in the thick smoke of fear.
The orange-red flames, black-gray smoke, and occasional gunshots from the streets plunged everyone into panic.
Some city residents looked at the chaos on the streets outside the window, their hearts filled with panic, and shouted to the camera in front of them and to the netizens in the live broadcast room: "The end of the world came too suddenly, we are not prepared at all, there is no edible food at home, I need to go to the supermarket to buy the necessary food before nightfall, family members, if you want me to survive, please give me some gifts! I can exchange it for ingots now, and then convert it into cash.
At least it’s daytime now, the supermarket is safe, and I can still buy some bread…”
Flames raged through the city, devouring everything combustible.
Kru and his team, dressed in firefighter uniforms, have been fighting the fire for more than 24 hours. The young man, covered in smoke and fire, held up a selfie stick and shouted to the netizens in Jiuzhou Live: "Friends, the fire is spreading too fast in this area. We must race against time to rest. If there is a sports car, we can apply for one more helicopter to drop water. If there is a moon rocket, we will call for another sprinkler truck!"
Although my teammates and I cannot be sure whether these supports can arrive as soon as possible, we will do it! Please give us a chance!
Save lives! May God bless us! "
In the live broadcast, the young man and his teammates had traces of smoke and sweat on their faces. Although they looked tired, their eyes were very determined.
With the thick smoke behind and the occasional gunshots and shouts in the live broadcast room, it was like playing a Hollywood blockbuster movie.
There is even an AI live broadcast assistant in the live broadcast room, which starts playing copyrighted music that is full of heroic spirit and tragic color based on the live images.
Brush, brush, brush!!!
Airplanes, rockets, flower baskets, starlight, sports cars... a bunch of gifts began to fill the screen, and gift special effects appeared one after another, forcing many netizens who just wanted to watch the fun to choose to turn off all gifts and barrage special effects and play with a clear screen.
"Thanks to my lonely brother for launching two ordinary rockets and one moon rocket! Good! I'll ask my teammates to make a phone call and request a water truck rescue!"
"Thank you, Mother Mary, for your four-engine cruise ship. According to our previous rules, our fire brigade will write your name on the fire truck. You will accompany us to fight in the sea of fire and bring hope of life to those who are in danger! Thank you for your generosity and kindness, Amen!"
"Oh my god, a fleet of twenty sports cars?! Oh my God! Next, we will rescue at least two stray cats at the fire scene in the name of your '888888888 Building', and we promise to successfully rescue them and raise them for at least half a year! At the same time, we will find new homes for them!"
Crisis, danger is also opportunity.
Jiuzhou Technology's 6G communication and Zhoutian Xingdou engineering services, coupled with the purchase of smart terminals that can enhance signal transmission, have led many people to start working as "Internet celebrity live broadcasters", earning more side income in addition to their main jobs.
At this time of chaos, many American "Internet celebrities" found that the search popularity of their situation on the Internet was comparable to that of Anxi Kunlun City, so many people took the initiative to start live broadcasts, shoot videos, and use various methods to attract netizens' rewards.
Because the Jiuzhou Entertainment Platform has over one billion real registered users worldwide and has adapted AI intelligent translation to the entire platform, there are indeed quite a few kind-hearted netizens in America and abroad who have begun to reward these Internet celebrities.
Although it costs tens of thousands of dollars to "raise a cat" and allow the fire department to make a call to request additional rescue, in the eyes of this group of people who give rewards, this is charity.
In addition, there are many MCN agencies behind Internet celebrities who also take the lead in giving gifts in the live broadcast rooms of their own anchors, using the broken window effect and the herd effect to make users who were originally hesitant about whether to give rewards donate generously.
Although the Jiuzhou Entertainment branch will not return the tips to these MCN organizations, it is still a very profitable business as it only costs $10,000 to allow netizens in the live broadcast room to make $100,000!
And with the development of AI technology in recent years, major MCN agencies and entertainment companies have been able to clearly conduct a more in-depth and comprehensive analysis of the user portrait of the live broadcast room of the internet celebrity anchor and estimate the investment and return ratio. There will basically be no situation where they lose money by giving gifts to gain publicity.
Bang! Boom!
An explosion was heard, and amid the sound of glass shattering, a wooden villa was instantly engulfed in flames.
The owner of the house didn't even have time to pack up his valuables. He looked at the villa where he had lived for only ten years with grief and anger, and immediately turned around and evacuated with his family.
His wife hugged the child and cried, "Bruce, we worked hard for twenty years and finally bought this house with a loan. Are we really going to lose it now? I still have some jewelry in the bedroom. I want to go back and get it..."
Bruce looked at his wife and four-year-old child in his arms, then glanced at the figure in the house behind him, shook his head, and whispered, "Jenny, keep your voice down. They deliberately brought the fire here and created the explosion so that they could get in and rob us of our property. Now we don't have guns, so let's just think of this money as a way to buy our lives. If they take our property, they will have to pay with their lives! As for us, as long as we're alive, we still have a chance."
After running hundreds of meters with his wife and children, the middle-aged man Blue looked at the message that popped up on the wrist device, and his heavy expression suddenly relaxed a little.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Baby, I have good news for you. Although our fire insurance was not successfully purchased and those damn insurance companies withdrew from us a year ago, the property insurance I purchased with the help of old Jiuzhou users has successfully recorded what those people did after entering the house. If nothing unexpected happens, within seven days, as long as we report the actual losses, Jiuzhou Property Insurance will provide us with a premium.
This money should be enough for us to leave here and find a safe place to live in Daxia."
