An apocalypse scenario, English homework help
An apocalypse scenario:
You are on an island with a tour group when suddenly it happens. Global thermonuclear war! However, the US has been preparing for this for some time as tensions have been growing between the world’s powers over water resources and bunkers have been built in various spots in the world for the survival of the human race in just such an event. There are rules, however, to get into the bunker and they cannot be bent or changed in any way.
Rules:
- Only 10 can fit comfortable and survive.
- Each bunker must produce at least one offspring
- The goal is the ultimate survival of humanity
- The bunker will open in 730 days (2 years) exactly after it is sealed.
- It cannot be opened in any way by anybody for the two years, it will automatically send the codes to open it to a terminal in the bunker after the 2 years so that the occupants can decide if it is safe enough to go outside.
