860 Tsunami, Earthquake, Volcano......
Hearing what the old housekeeper said, Li Huan wanted to explain it, because of his relationship with Yu Ting, let alone his wife and husband, even his boyfriend and girlfriend had never established a serious relationship. But I can't say this, because if I say it, it will cause Yu Ting's dissatisfaction, but if I don't say it, it doesn't seem appropriate for the old housekeeper to continue calling like this......
"Li Huan!" Just when Li Huan was entangled, Yu Ting, who was looking at the sea in the distance with a telescope, suddenly turned her head and shouted, "Let's see if that's a tsunami?"
Yu Ting handed over the telescope, Li Huan put the telescope in front of him, adjusted it slightly, and then looked at it carefully. The telescope in Li Huan's hand is a high-powered telescope, which is usually used to observe the terrain and scenery, and can clearly see the target seven kilometers away.
It's coming!
Li Huan looked forward, only to see a thin white line appear on the sea surface about 20 kilometers ahead, even if you look at it with a telescope, you can only barely see that it is a white line, but the speed of this white line is extremely terrifying, and in just a few seconds, the white line becomes a churning wave in the telescope.
"It's a tsunami!" Li Huan put down the binoculars and said, "And the height of the tsunami should not be low, we must be mentally prepared!"
"What kind of psychological preparation?" Yu Ting shuddered: "You mean, this tsunami will rush to us?"
"It shouldn't be, but it will definitely have a lot of destructive power...... Li Huan groaned for a while.
As soon as Li Huan's words fell, at this time, everyone heard a strange sound, which seemed to be the sound wave produced by several large passenger planes passing through the ground, which was very similar to the strange sound heard before the earthquake. The appearance of this voice immediately made the old butler tremble.
"That's right, that's the sound! It's the sound of a tsunami!" said the old housekeeper in horror, "I was on vacation with my family in Patong in 2004, and this is the same sound that day when the tsunami came......"
Looking at the old housekeeper's trembling appearance, Li Huan was also a little speechless, he didn't expect that the old housekeeper beside him turned out to be a survivor of the Indian Ocean tsunami. That tsunami is also a world-famous tsunami, and it was also caused by the movement of the undersea, and that tsunami caused countless deaths and injuries in the affected areas - it is because of this that you are speechless, you yourself have already experienced the tsunami, and you still have no points in your heart? If Li Huan hadn't stopped them brutally, they would have been corpses by now. In the face of a tsunami of this level, the so-called safety dock is not safe at all, although the breakwater and the pillars under the water surface can reduce the damage of waves, but the backflow of seawater can destroy all of this.
At that time, there was such a sound in the sky, at first we all thought it was a plane flying by, and no one cared, but soon the overwhelming waves came, and the waves were 50 meters high, and countless people were swept away like ants, and then disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, my family and I were in the villa on the hill east of Padang that day, which was also a holiday villa of our lord......" The old housekeeper said, and then looked at Li Huan's eyes and suddenly filled with gratitude: "Sir, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would have made a big mistake!"
"Don't be too happy, I see that the waves are more than fifty meters high...... We have to be mentally prepared!" Li Huan waved his hand to interrupt the old butler's words.
"But sir, didn't you say four times the height...... We're definitely more than that!" the old butler was really scared now, and now he finally knew who was the good guy and who was the bad guy...... No, in fact, he didn't suspect that Li Huan was a bad guy at the beginning, but he felt that Li Huan's attitude was too arrogant. But now watching the huge tsunami form, the old butler is still secretly praying in his heart, hoping that every time he encounters danger in the future, such a barbaric person will appear......
"Well, that's what I said, it's just a theoretical ......" Li Huan muttered to himself: "God bless." ”
At this time, the waves that could only be seen in the telescope just now were fully presented in the eyes of everyone, and even without a telescope, a tall wall of water could be seen rushing towards them at a very fast speed. Everyone could even see a few yachts that couldn't dodge, and they were swept away by this huge wall of water almost instantly. Looking at the yachts from this distance, the yachts look like they are about the size of ants, but this only sets off the height of the water wall.
At this time, the sound similar to that of a jetliner flying by has completely turned into a "boom" sound, and then under this sound of thousands of troops marching together, this huge wall of water, which is definitely more than forty meters high, slammed into the coastline of the island with a devastating momentum, and the coastline and everything on the coast were swallowed up almost in a few seconds......
Just like the earthquake just now, everyone present had never seen the tsunami with their own eyes, and everyone was dumbfounded when they watched the tsunami sweep through everything. And compared to the earthquake just now and the volcanic eruption in the distance, this mountain of tsunamis happened right under the nose, and the shock and fear are really incomparable to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The huge wall of water swept everything on the shore with a devastating momentum, and all houses, fishing boats, yachts, cars, and trees were as fragile as a grass in the face of this extinct tsunami.
The waves roared towards the coastline below, over the dry up river of Batow, over the peaks of one or two hundred meters above sea level. A part of the seawater poured into the channel of the Bato River, forming a huge wave dozens of meters high and rapidly advancing along the river, and everything that stood in the way of the river would be swallowed and destroyed by this terrible wave.
The faces of the people were all white, and man was too fragile in the face of this terrible catastrophe, and this instinctive fear was not at all subject to man's will. Even Li Huan touched his chin and subconsciously judged that under this kind of power, even if he had a storm island and reef necklace, would he be directly slapped into the water and buried by several mountains.
Yu Ting hugged Li Huan's arm tightly, and asked with a pale face: "Li Huan, do you think we can avoid the tsunami here?"
Li Huan looked down at Yu Ting's slightly pale face, hugged her with his arm, and said softly: "Don't worry, now I'm sure that the tsunami can't rush to us, you see, after the tsunami crossed a few peaks, the end of the forward rush is already much weaker, and those peaks below can well block the impact of the tsunami, and we are safe here." ”
Li Huan's words made Yu Ting feel a lot more relieved, Liu Qianhuan's face looked much better, and the housekeeper knelt on the ground and didn't know which god he was praying to. Li Huan's judgment was very accurate, although the tsunami looked extremely amazing, the peak they were on was the highest mountain in the vicinity, and there were several heavy and lower peaks between this peak and the coast, and after the tsunami overflowed these low peaks, the end of the forward rush was indeed weakened a lot.
Eventually, the waves were only halfway up the mountain, and they were no longer able to go up, but continued along the valley and the low peaks. The first wave of a tsunami is the most powerful, and as long as the first wave doesn't come up, then everyone is safe – but seeing the tsunami go up and down is shocking.
In fact, the reason why the tsunami is terrible is that in addition to its own impact force, when it rushes ashore, it will use a huge water gun to destroy everything and destroy everything, and it will also cause secondary damage to these things when the tsunami recedes. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the bedroom, everyone could see with their own eyes that the first wave of the tsunami washed ashore and then receded, carrying a large number of various ships and buildings in the rolling waves. There are still some unknown things about these boats and buildings, and even the vehicles were broken down at the first wave, and when the waves receded, all of these things were pulled back by the sudden return of the sea.
Of course, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that after these things are pulled into the sea, they are caught up by the second wave that crashes directly into the depths of the ocean......
Then came the second, third, and fourth waves...... Everyone counted the huge waves rushing ashore one by one, and watching these huge waves, each time they washed ashore, they would take something with them, and then shoot them into the deep sea, watching this process, everyone couldn't help but feel numb. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for Li Huan's decisiveness just now, everyone would have been swept away by the waves. Everyone watched as something that was swept away by the waves was slapped into the deep sea, and when it floated up again, it would become fragmented, and even the atmosphere would not dare to come out.
The destructive power of the tsunami is enormous, but the tsunami is coming
Fast, go fast. To put it bluntly, a tsunami is a huge wave, and after those waves have passed, the tsunami calms down. Seeing that the waves finally receded, everyone seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, and Li Huan even heard the cheers coming from downstairs of the villa - obviously, the people hiding in other parts of the villa also saw the thrilling scene just now.
It was only a few minutes, but it seemed like centuries had passed for everyone, and the greatest danger had passed, and everyone seemed to have their bones removed.
Li Huan walked in front of the housekeeper with Yu Ting in his arms, "Okay, don't pray, the biggest danger has passed, and we are safe." But we have other questions, how much food is stored in your villa, and is there any fresh water here? And what's your name?"
The old butler raised his head and asked in surprise, "Sir, is the danger really over?"
Li Huan nodded: "As long as the first wave of the sea passes, there will be no danger." As for the next hurricane, I don't think we need to say that you have a way to deal with it, after all, the people here have been dealing with hurricanes for hundreds of years. ”
Hearing Li Huan say this, the old housekeeper stood up and looked outside, and then drew a cross on his chest, it seems that the old housekeeper believes in Christianity.
"Sir, my name is El Niño......," said the old butler, "the villa was replenished with a batch of food just the day before yesterday, which could have been enough for eight of us for a week, sir, you are here, these foods are definitely not enough, but if you save them, they can be eaten for three or four days at most." As for fresh water, don't worry, there is a fresh water well in the backyard of the villa. And I think the authorities will definitely come to the rescue. ”
Li Huan nodded, and then said to Liu Qianhuan and the guards: "Hurry up, find out all the clean containers in the villa, and immediately go to the backyard to accumulate as much fresh water as possible." The tsunami and earthquake have just occurred, and the underground water source may not be polluted at this time, so we need to store some fresh water as soon as possible, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the water in the fresh water well will not be able to drink. ”
Liu Qianhuan listened to Li Huan's words very much, and when he heard this, he immediately named several people. The old housekeeper saw Li Huan give an order, and hurriedly found the servants in the villa and asked them to follow Liu Qianhuan together. Now that the hurricane is surrounding the volcanic eruption, this island is an isolated island, although it has been less than half an hour since they met, the old housekeeper feels that it would be better to hand over the command to Li Huan.
Because he saw Li Huan's courage in just half an hour. First of all, Li Huan forcibly stopped those who were unwilling to stay in the villa and saved their lives, and then after the tsunami passed, when everyone was complacent and thought that their lives were safe and treasured, Li Huan decisively noticed that there was a problem, that is, the food and drinking water problems after the tsunami. The old butler knew this alone, and even he, the butler, had just experienced life and death, he didn't have the confidence to think so comprehensively, but he didn't expect this young man to think of him in front of him.
So the old housekeeper felt that even if he handed over the command, it didn't matter, so he listened to Li Huan order everyone to fetch water, and the old housekeeper also did the same thing, but he also comforted everyone: "Actually, there is no need to be so afraid, because we often suffer from hurricanes on this island, so every time a hurricane and tsunami comes, the government will focus on it, in addition to the capital Manila, this island is generally the government's second disaster relief site, as long as we hold on for a while, the government will definitely send rescue." ”
Watching the servants in the villa and the crew escort go to the backyard to fetch water together, Li Huan shook his head after listening to what the old housekeeper said: "It won't go so smoothly, if it's a small hurricane, then I believe that the Philippine government can do disaster relief at the same time, but don't take this natural disaster too small, I dare to guarantee that they won't be able to come at all, there is such a serious natural disaster here, they can't come at all." Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and impending hurricanes, especially eruptions and upcoming hurricanes, will certainly have a significant impact on the authorities' rescue operations. ”
"Then what should we do? Is it true that the government will not come to the rescue?" Now the old housekeeper has a lot of trust in Li Huan's judgment.
"We can't come here for the time being, which means that we will most likely be stuck here for a while, so whether it is fresh water or food, we have to save some water. But don't panic, gather all the food, eat the fresh, inconvenient food first, and put the packaged food with a long shelf life later. Li Huan said.
What Li Huan said is the truth, and under such circumstances, with the ability of the Philippine authorities, it is certain that they will be trapped here for a while. After all, it was only a tsunami and an earthquake, and the island of Luzon across the bay, plus a violent eruption of Mayon Volcano, was even more devastated. Especially near Mayon Volcano, there are cities with a population of nearly 200,000 like Legazpi, and on the east coast of the islands of the Philippines bordering the Pacific Ocean, there are many populous cities.......
Of course, if the hurricane stops early, Li Huan can also send a helicopter over.
However, in this way, hurricanes should mutate under the influence of tsunamis and earthquakes, and thus become larger. So before the hurricane stopped, Li Huan also gave up this idea. Moreover, if it was just a hurricane, Li Huan would actually be able to dispatch a helicopter after the wind stopped for three or four days - but because there was a strong earthquake on the bottom of the sea, the geomagnetic energy before and after the earthquake could disrupt any navigation. Empty. , so Li Huan predicts that at least within five or six days, no one will come to the rescue at all, so he can only prepare in advance.
So, the safest thing to do now is to stay on the island and not go anywhere.
Of course, fortunately, there are villas on this island where everyone can shelter from the wind, Li Huan took a closer look at this villa when he just came in, this villa is the kind of old-fashioned building with large strips of stone as the main material, it is very strong, not the same as the kind of modern materials used to fool around. The villa is built enough to provide safe shelter in the midst of a huge hurricane. Coupled with the fact that the island has a tradition of facing hurricanes, this villa must have been designed with more wind resistance in mind. So if these factors are added together, Li Huan believes that they will be very safe in this kind of villa. The problem now is that after the tsunami is over, the hurricane comes, and everyone only needs to carry it for five or six days, then the clouds will open and the moon will be seen.
At that time, regardless of whether the Philippine government will send rescuers to the disaster, Li Huan himself can dispatch helicopters to let everyone leave.
Even if Li Huan doesn't dispatch a helicopter, he believes that the person who can build such a big villa in the Philippines must also have his own strength, and it's hard to say how much energy he has, but if he just asks him to transfer a helicopter to pick up his housekeeper and the like, Li Huan believes that there will be no problem at all.
So the problem now is that everyone just has to wait in peace. Wait for all natural disasters to pass in this safe villa, don't go out and die on your own initiative, and you will be safe to a large extent.
But so far, there is still one problem.
The food in this villa simply can't support that time.
Because they were supposed to leave before the storm season this year, the owners had already left, and they were left to pack up the villa. These buildings in the Philippines are damp because they are close to the sea, and every year before leaving, they have to seal up the whole house and dispose of the things inside that are easy to Fǔ Bài – yesterday, they have already taken care of all the food.
To put it simply, if you eat the food you left over in the normal way, you won't be able to survive for three days.
Of course, there are some compressed biscuits, but the number is very small, enough for everyone to eat for a day - these are the reasons why they haven't been thrown away before.
When Li Huan came to the villa, he counted it at the door, this kind of villa plus the bodyguard and the old housekeeper together were less than ten people, after he asked about the amount of food, he began to have a headache, because if it is calculated according to five or six days, this amount of food is not enough for everyone to eat - and Li Huan doesn't need to ask, it must be calculated according to the amount, except for a fresh water well at the back of the yard, fresh water does not need a headache for the time being, food is a big problem.
Sixty people have to eat the food of ten people, and that is certainly not enough. Li Huan doesn't need to ask about this matter, ordinary villas will not store so much food, after all, this is not the time to prepare for war and famine. Then the problem is, there is enough fresh water, and if the hurricane does not come, then everyone will be stranded on this island for a long time. It's hard to say exactly how long you panicked. But
According to the current situation, ten days and half a month is the minimum.
"We're going to have to collect some food. Li Huan said subconsciously.
"No problem, we can go!" The guard of the crew suddenly said: "The tsunami just now will definitely drive some animals to the mountains, let's go and see if we can catch some prey, and we can also add some food." ”
As soon as Li Huan's words fell, the guards of the crew immediately responded to Li Huan, which is no wonder. In this villa, except for Liu Qianhuan and Yu Ting's unconditional trust in Li Huan because they knew Li Huan's details, these bodyguards probably trusted Li Huan the most. As for why, because they were in the truck driven by Li Huan all the way, and they saw Li Huan's various miraculous performances of being in danger - if it weren't for Li Huan, they would have been buried in the river valley.
If you want to say who has the ability to lead everyone now, these very far-sighted guards will definitely vote for Li Huan - even if Yu Ting is their boss and Yu Ting paid for it, after all, it involves his own life, so it is not a matter of money. Besides, these people are not stupid! Didn't you see Yu Ting holding Li Huan's hand, eager to stick her whole body on?
So it's reasonable, if you don't listen to Li Huan, who else can you listen to?
A few guards said that they would do it, and they were going to hunt right away, but who knew that Li Huan shook his head and said: "This is not in a hurry for the time being, when the earthquake comes, there will definitely be no electricity now, and the refrigerator will not be able to be used, in this weather, even if the prey is hit, it will not be able to be stored for a long time...... Now, even if we go hunting, we don't have a place to put this food, only rot. ”
"What then?" several of the guards were dumbfounded.
After hearing Li Huan's words, the old housekeeper immediately said: "Sir, because the electricity on the island is not stable, there are often power outages, so there is a diesel generator in the basement of the villa, and there is enough diesel, if we save a little, this diesel fuel is enough for us to use for a while." In addition, there are two sets of mobile solar panels in the villa, although the power is not very large, but as long as there is sun, the daily electricity in the villa is no problem. ”
"Well, that's great. But we can't waste diesel either. In this way, solar panels have storage batteries, but hurricanes are coming soon, and solar energy will definitely not be used in these days, and some electrical appliances with high power consumption can not be used, so that the electricity from the battery is only used for lighting. We can't get out of here now, and I guess worse things are coming, and we're definitely behind the government when it comes to disaster relief, so we have to plan to save ourselves and not waste time. Li Huan said.
"Yes, sir, I'll make the arrangements!" said the old butler.
......
The facts once again proved that if Li Huan's crow's mouth turned black, even Rodman would be embarrassed.
In the past, Li Huan once described Rodman's mouth as the most smelly in the world, saying what he said, but it turned out that Li Huan's mouth stinked, and Rodman was far from being able to catch up. Luckily, Rodman was on vacation in the mountain town now, and he didn't know where to go with Leon and Rovisa, and Agata would have laughed wildly if he knew that the boss's mouth was like this.
If a few people knew about Li Huan's current situation, several people would immediately set off towards the Philippines.
Don't underestimate the loyalty of a few of them to Li Huan, not to mention any earthquakes and tsunamis, not to mention any hurricanes, Li Huan's current situation is just that they don't know, but if they know what the situation is, they will find a way to come here desperately. Of course, this is also the reason why Li Huan did not use a satellite phone to contact them. Li Huan carries a satellite phone with him at all times, it doesn't matter if the communication on the island is interrupted, the satellite phone can contact anyone in real time. The reason why Li Huan never called them was because he thought that it was a natural disaster here, and it would be useless to get them over. And according to the urine nature of several of them, as long as they know that their boss is trapped, they don't care if there is a hurricane or not, they will definitely grab a helicopter and fly over, if they come over all the way safely, if they are unlucky enough to encounter a hurricane, those people will definitely die at the bottom of the sea.
After thinking about this matter, Li Huan decided to wait for the hurricane to pass before contacting them and asking them to send a helicopter from the Philippines. As for before the hurricane passed, Li Huan would not contact them, lest they give their lives in vain.
As for why Li Huan's mouth is black, first of all, the Philippine government's response was still very fast, and after the submarine earthquake, the rescue was launched almost at the same time. Of course, it cannot be said that they reacted quickly, in fact, the Philippine government has long been prepared for disaster relief. Because they are about to face a hurricane that is bound to make landfall, they have prepared enough relief supplies, and now, they are just distributing these relief supplies in advance.
But as Li Huan estimated, the rescue was quite difficult.
Generally speaking, in the rescue of disaster areas, while opening up land rescue channels, the fastest is to open up air rescue channels, transport some urgently needed medicines, food, and fresh water into the disaster areas first, and then transport some acute and serious patients out through the air rescue channels, so as to save the lives of the victims as much as possible. However, in this rescue operation in the disaster area, the air rescue channel could not be opened at all.
The reason is actually very simple, because of the submarine earthquake, the irritable nature of Mayon Volcano has been activated, and the Mayon Volcano, which has been constantly spewing volcanic ash outward, has become the biggest obstacle to opening up air rescue channels. The devil knows why Mayon Volcano had to erupt at this time, it is said that ordinary undersea earthquakes cannot affect volcanic mountains, because the epicenter of the earthquake is so different from the depth of the volcanic pipeline.
But there is such a coincidence, the volcano is erupted, although after the first wave of raging magma began to calm down, but the smoke and rolling volcanic ash still obscured the sky - to put it simply, you love earthquakes, tsunamis, tsunamis, hurricanes, all have nothing to do with Lao Tzu! As long as I start to erupt, it is the deepest power of the earth, and any tsunami earthquake and hurricane must stand aside, and everything will have to wait until I finish the eruption!
So this big guy has been spraying out non-stop since the large-scale eruption yesterday, although after a few hours of magma, from the crater on the top of the mountain has begun to stop spraying magma, but the more terrible volcanic ash is constantly spraying outward. Even, this volcano doesn't even want the figure he is most proud of, and he wants to vent the anger in his stomach when he says anything. The Marong volcano, which was originally a perfect cone, was missing a piece from the top of the mountain, just like the top of Mt. Fuji, as if it had been bitten by the big mouth that had bitten an apple. Moreover, after the magma erupted from the crater solidified on the slope of the mountain, it also destroyed the original perfect cone "delicate body" of Mayon Volcano, especially on the slope of the mountain facing the sea to the east......
And for opening up air passages, it's the deadly volcanic ash.
Volcanic ash is a good thing if it is used in agriculture, because it is rich in vitamins ABCDEFG, hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxyfluorine, neon......
But for people, it's an out-and-out killer. Volcanic ash refers to gravel and mineral particles that are emitted by volcanoes and are less than 2 mm in diameter. In explosive volcanic activity, solid rocks and lava are broken down into fine particles to form volcanic ash. It has volcanic ash activity, that is, it can react with lime at room temperature and in the presence of water to form hydrate with hydraulic gelling ability. Therefore, after grinding, it can be used as a mixture of cement and an admixture of concrete, and the volcanic ash is more lethal than those PM2.5 that cannot be avoided!
The smaller the diameter of the particles, the deeper they enter the respiratory tract. Particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns is usually deposited in the upper respiratory tract, 5 microns in diameter can enter the deep part of the respiratory tract, and below 2 microns can penetrate 100% into the bronchioles and alveoli. When inhaled, inhalable particulate matter can accumulate in the respiratory system and cause many diseases. Exposure to coarse particulate matter can damage the respiratory system and induce asthma. Fine particulate matter can cause heart disease, lung disease, respiratory disease, reduce lung function, and more. Therefore, for sensitive groups such as the elderly, children and people with pre-existing heart and lung diseases, the risk is greater. In addition, particulate matter in the ambient air is a major cause of reduced visibility and can damage building surfaces. All in all, a person who breathes in an environment full of volcanic ash will definitely not support more than half an hour before suffocating to death due to various dusts.
For people, for the aviation industry, volcanic ash is a real killer!
Now it's not just a hurricane, even a volcano is coming to join in the fun, and it looks like Li Huan is going to be trapped here.
