Eight hundred and fifty-nine disasters erupted
"Damn, we have to hurry up and get out of here, we can't go to that town! It's better to go up the mountain! Such a violent undersea earthquake can cause a huge tsunami...... Li Huan suddenly came to his senses: "If we go to the town you booked as planned, we will definitely die when the huge tsunami comes." ”
As soon as Li Huan shouted like this, the faces of the people who had just quieted down changed again. Although undersea earthquakes are terrible, in fact, the direct damage caused by undersea earthquakes to the continent or islands is not very serious, unless the epicenter of the undersea earthquake is very close to the coastline.
This sudden undersea earthquake doesn't seem to be very close to the coastline, otherwise Catandunes wouldn't be like this. But it also proves that undersea earthquakes don't actually do much damage on land. Several successive earthquakes have only opened a few openings in the road surface, but even so, the submarine earthquake is still terrifying, because everyone knows that as long as the magnitude of the submarine earthquake reaches a certain level, it will inevitably cause a secondary disaster with extremely destructive power - tsunami.
Because of the submarine earthquake, the bottom of the sea. A tsunami is a devastating wave that can be generated by a volcanic eruption, an undersea landslide, or a drastic change in meteorology. Tsunamis are generated at waves with speeds of up to 700 to 1,000 kilometers per hour, and because tsunamis can reach hundreds of kilometers in wavelength and can travel thousands of kilometers with very little energy loss, they can even cross the ocean in a matter of hours.
In the vast ocean, the wave height is less than one meter, but when it reaches the shallow water of the coast, the wavelength decreases and the wave height increases sharply, up to tens of meters, forming a "wall of water" containing huge energy. When a wall of water swells up to the ground, it causes great destructive force, and everything that stands in its way is completely swallowed and destroyed by the wall.
The destructiveness of tsunamis is extremely terrifying, because tsunamis are often accompanied by undersea earthquakes, but in many cases, undersea earthquakes do not cause much damage, but the ensuing tsunamis can cause irreparable damage to human beings. Even after a tsunami, the number of dead and missing is far greater than the number of people killed and missing in an earthquake. Far from it, the Chilean tsunami that struck more than half a century ago left tens of thousands of people dead and missing. On May 21, 1960, the largest submarine earthquake in recorded human history struck the seabed near Puerto Montt, Chile, with a magnitude of 9.5, causing a tsunami that swept across the Chilean coastline in a very short period of time, killing tens of thousands of people in an instant.
Fifteen years ago, on December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean submarine earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale did not cause much damage, but the tsunami that followed was the largest human damage in nearly two centuries.
According to statistics, the energy generated by an earthquake under the Indian Ocean is about the equivalent of 1,000 Hiroshima mushroom bombs, triggering a tsunami about 50 meters high. The tsunami swept across the Indian Ocean at more than half the speed of sound per hour, eventually killing and missing nearly 300,000 people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and other countries around the Indian Ocean.
This is a very terrifying number, more than the number of people killed and missing in the Tangshan earthquake.
At present, although it is not possible to confirm the magnitude of this undersea earthquake, there is no doubt that the magnitude of this undersea earthquake is definitely not small. In other words, within minutes or tens of minutes after the earthquake, a tsunami is about to engulf half of the Pacific Ocean. In the unlikely event that this undersea earthquake has a magnitude of more than 8.0 on the Richter scale, then the highest point of this island is more than 300 meters, but it will definitely not be able to withstand the roaring tsunami. Now they are driving along the seashore, so they can't run along the road, because they don't know what the road conditions are like, and the more important reason is that once the tsunami comes, everything on the beach will bear the brunt. The huge wave that forms in the distance, the first obstacle encountered in the course of travel, will cause it to burst out with incredible and amazing force.
If Li Huan was the only one now, he would be too late to enjoy the tsunami - anyway, Li Huan has a storm island and reef necklace, which can avoid all sea water, no matter how big the tsunami is, Li Huan can easily deal with it, but it's hard to say that the people in this bus - The enchantment of the storm island and reef necklace is not unlimited, Li Huan can take Yu Ting and Liu Qianhuan to dodge together, and even bring a few staff members, but this is already the limit, because the storm island and reef necklace was not originally made for many people to hide together, so Li Huan can't do this, if he does this, he can only watch the others die.
So, if you want to avoid the approaching tsunami, you have to go up to the higher peaks.
"There is no road up...... Can we only turn back?" Li Huan took out the map here and glanced at it, and if he wanted to go up the mountain, he could only turn back and follow the coastal road with cliffs.
"Yes There is a private road leading to the mountain, and this private road leads to the mansions on the top of the mountain, which are often located at an altitude of more than 200 meters above sea level, and if you want to avoid a tsunami, then it is best to go to the top to take shelter. Suddenly, the driver who was slipped away by Li Huanti pointed to a small road that turned to the top of the mountain more than 100 meters in front and said: "However, the owners of those mountaintop mansions are all armed guards, and according to the laws of our country, they can shoot without permission if they trespass into private territory......
Li Huan glanced at the road, and didn't want to turn the steering wheel and fork in.
The things that the pilot said were just for ordinary people to worry about, and Li Huan didn't have to worry about it at all - not long ago, he had a fight with a destroyer and two Scud missiles, and he didn't pay attention to a few gun-wielding guards. And in the face of earthquakes, tsunamis and impending hurricanes, Li Huan felt that even if the owner of the manor of those mansions hired a tank to put it there, he had to go there. Although this is a private territory, but now the situation is special, if the other party is good at talking, if it is not good to talk, Li Huan doesn't mind letting them see what is called a real "private arm" - you must know that Li Huan has dismantled a lot of good things from that Fury-class destroyer!
Li Huan turned into the highway for a week, sure enough, this is a private highway, just turned over and saw a sign on the side of the road, which said "Private highway, it is strictly forbidden to enter", but at this time no one can care about this, the bus roared and roared past. The road is not wide, about six meters wide if you count the shoulder, and the entire road is built in the lush woods, and clusters of wildflowers can be seen on the side of the road from time to time.
But at this time, no one cares about the scenery, and if a tsunami rushes over here, there will be nothing left here. Although this small road is not wide, it is quite long, and it continues to wind and stretch on the hillside, and I don't know when it will end, but it makes the group very anxious.
Because of the earthquake just now, some parts of the small road were also damaged, but fortunately it did not give way to completely disconnect, so after driving for about ten minutes, it is estimated that after driving out for about three or four kilometers, the small road turned a corner, and a white villa built on the top of the hill finally appeared in everyone's sight. There is a circle of more than four meters high fence outside the villa, and there is a double-door wrought iron gate on this side of the small road, through the gate, you can clearly see that the villa is a bit chaotic, seven or eight people dressed as servants are busy loading things on the two cars in a panic, it seems that they want to leave here.
Seeing a bus coming from afar, and then stopped directly at the door, the people inside stopped their movements in panic, looked at Li Huan and his group, and even a few guards with guns directly raised their guns and aimed at the bus, warning them to leave immediately. Li Huan was a little surprised by the appearance of these people, these guards were not the local natives that Li Huan thought, and looking at the way they were holding guns, they should have undergone formal military training...... But this is not the time to be polite, Li Huan opened the car door and said loudly before walking to the gate: "We are the ones who came to take refuge, please open the gate and let us in! Of course, if you don't open the gate, we can come in ourselves." ”
Li Huan spoke English, it is estimated that these people can understand, one of them who seems to be a butler in his sixties came over and said eagerly: "I know you, you are the crew that recently filmed on the island? Are you Chinese? I can open the door and let you in, but I advise you to leave quickly, because."
As we were about to leave here, this was not a good place to evacuate. ”
After speaking, the butler-like person waved his hand, and the few elite armed bodyguards lowered their guns, but their eyes still followed Li Huan.
Li Huan originally thought that there would be another conflict, but the current situation does not allow much to say, Li Huan was preparing a spiritual shock to bring down those armed guards, but he didn't expect the other party to be so reasonable, and Li Huan naturally saved a lot of things. He first looked around and found that this peak was the highest mountain around, estimated to be about five hundred meters above sea level, and then nodded with satisfaction and walked to the gate and said, "You want to leave here?"
The butler nodded, "Sir, there's an earthquake, and the volcano across the bay has erupted, and we don't want to stay here." ”
"Then you leave here purely to find death! Because the tsunami is coming soon, once the tsunami arrives here, your position is the safest, go down the mountain, do you want to find death?"
"No, there can't be a tsunami, we're going to get out of here!" the old butler shook his head stubbornly.
If the other party said evil words to each other as soon as he came up, then now Li Huan would not persuade them at all, and would even watch them die with confidence and boldness. However, the other party showed full goodwill, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were quite friendly to the Chinese, and on this point, Li Huan could not watch them go down the mountain to die.
But the other party seemed very stubborn: "Impossible, how many years have we been doing this place, hurricanes and earthquakes in the Philippines are normal things, and they will not cause any big tsunamis." And our boat is parked in that private marina with wave protection, and even if there is a tsunami, as long as it is not a tsunami of the inversion level, the impact on us is limited. On the other hand, if you stay here now, it will be a bad luck, because after the hurricane, the navigation of this island will be cut off, and once the navigation of this island is cut off, then there will be no supplies. And this is still a small thing, every time after an earthquake and hurricane, the communication signal on this island will be affected, except that you have a satellite phone, there is no way to get in touch with the outside world, you can only wait to die. ”
"But it's a dead end for you to go down now, this tsunami is no joke, I guess he can even rush to the peak of about 300 meters. Li Huan explained: "Don't you know that there was an earthquake on the bottom of the sea just now? I don't know where the epicenter of the submarine earthquake is just now, but you can feel such a clear earthquake on this island, which means that the magnitude is very high." What will an undersea earthquake bring? You islanders know better than I do, and there's going to be a big tsunami next, so don't leave. ”
"No, no, although there is an undersea earthquake, but we have seen a lot of tsunamis, it will not be as exaggerated as you say, a tsunami that can rush to more than 300 meters, it is a tsunami that will be specially predicted in advance, and we have not received any tsunami forecasts so far. The old butler said stubbornly.
In the Philippines, a country of hurricanes, tsunamis, because hurricanes often occur, and hurricanes always come with tsunamis, so Filipinos are also very experienced in dealing with tsunamis. Every major tsunami is predicted in advance. Although there is no way to predict an earthquake in advance, there is a way to predict a tsunami.
Tsunamis are usually caused by a combination of other factors, such as super hurricanes and submarine earthquakes, and when these two conditions occur, tsunamis are formed, and tsunamis do not form alone for no reason. Meteorologists have always referred to tsunamis as a gift for hurricanes or undersea earthquakes, which means that whenever you encounter a hurricane or undersea earthquake, you will usually be given a tsunami as an add-on, although no one wants it.
However, although the lethality of the tsunami is large, it can be predicted, once the tsunami is formed, you can see the shape of the tsunami and its direction on the satellite cloud map, at least one to two hours in advance, so that people can be fully prepared.
"Don't you know that there was an earthquake just now, and the volcano has erupted, what can you receive at this time?" Li Huan looked at the old housekeeper and explained with a look of disbelief: "When an earthquake occurs, a large amount of geomagnetic waves and interference information will be released, disrupting the reception of all signals, not to mention the volcano. Once the volcano erupts, there are a lot of metal particles in the overwhelming volcanic ash, and these metal particles will form a blocking band in the air, preventing any signal from entering, not to mention the TV and radio signals, and even the satellite phone cannot be dialed, unless the volcano will disperse, you can contact the outside world, so even if there is a tsunami forecast, you can't get any news, listen to me, don't go. “
Li Huan's meaning is very clear, in the event of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, will electromagnetic waves be disturbed, not to mention TV signals and radio signals, even if the signals of satellite phones cannot be transmitted, these signals cannot be received, then naturally there will be no other news channels. But the old butler seemed very stubborn, and he stubbornly thought that he had to go now.
is still the same sentence, if the old housekeeper treats Li Huan and his party with a bad attitude, Li Huan will not care about his life or death at all, but the old housekeeper kindly let them take refuge in the villa, and Li Huan must not let him die. After several persuasions to no avail, Li Huan simply kicked open the door, and the armed guards were shocked, and immediately pulled the bolt of the gun - where would Li Huan give them this opportunity, his figure flashed quickly, and after knocking down a few bodyguards, he picked up a gun and pointed it at a person who looked like a driver: "Go, drive the car in." ”
Li Huan's extremely fast action frightened the old butler, why did those hired elite guards fight so much? But fortunately, Li Huan did not show any other malice after defeating the guards, and the old butler faced the muzzle of the gun, so he had no choice but to order everyone to come back, and then let the driver drive the bus in.
"You, what the hell are you going to do, I told you, I can let you in and take refuge, but don't stop us from leaving. The old housekeeper just listened to Li Huan's persuasion, but he didn't think he was a robber, so he could still refute a few words now.
"I said it, for your safety. Li Huan was very neat.
The armed guards were knocked down, and these Filipino servants, including the housekeeper, had no way to stop Li Huan from entering this villa - besides, the old housekeeper didn't intend to stop Li Huan at first, but now he couldn't help but obey the order, and seeing the big iron door being closed, Li Huan gave an order arrogantly, and no one could leave here until he nodded.
The execution of this order was carried out by several armed guards of the crew.
Li Huan didn't want to be so arrogant, but now it's no longer his turn to explain more, it's better to be arrogant. In this way, before the hurricane and waves came, Li Huan took his crew and Yu Ting to find a safe place to take refuge together, and the place where the villa was built on the top of the mountain should be able to avoid the impact of the waves.
Everyone walked into the villa and looked around, this is obviously a holiday villa for a wealthy man, because the area of the villa is very large, and the entire hilltop is almost completely occupied by this villa. The main body of the villa is a steel-concrete structure building with a length of more than 30 meters, a width of more than 20 meters, a height of three and a half floors, and a white exterior wall.
After the bus entered the villa, all the people on the bus got down, and after getting down, everyone poured into the house, and when he saw them at the filming location, Li Huan felt that these people were very strong at work, but he didn't expect that they would become like frightened birds as soon as they got off the bus, crashing everywhere.
Of course, they can't be blamed for this, because they have just experienced an earthquake, and Li Hong also predicts that a huge tsunami may come, plus an imminent hurricane...... This is a normal person will be afraid, not afraid is abnormal, so when everyone sees a safe and solid house, subconsciously swarm into it, one after another, like a headless sparrow swaying, because the house can always bring people a sense of security.
Li Huan forced the housekeeper and took Yu Ting to a large bedroom on the third floor of the villa, which has a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the south side, where you can clearly see the sea in the southeast.
Li Huan stood at the window without saying a word, and Yu Ting naturally leaned on him.
The slightest estrangement between the two is long gone.
In fact, both Li Huan and Yu Ting will think about a question when they meet, the two have not seen each other for two years.
Will you be rusty when you meet, will you become like a stranger? This problem had already happened when she was filming at the time, after Yu Ting heard the surprise of Li Huan coming to "visit the class", she didn't know how to face Li Huan, of course she was still a little angry, so she took the bus convoy away first and let Li Huan follow the truck. It is embarrassing to reunite after a long absence, although many couples don't think that this embarrassment will become an estrangement, but things are very special here in Li Huan - because their other couples are different, Li Huan is in addition to Yu Ting, there are also Chen Xue and Shangguan Qing, Yu Ting knows about this, so she doesn't know how to face it.
Touching her conscience, she said that more or less Yu Ting took over this movie, also because of Chen Xue and Shangguan Qing, because she knew that your own conditions could not compete with two girls, since you could not compete with two girls in terms of conditions, then you had to increase the added value for yourself, and Yu Ting's way to increase the added value was to help Li Huan finish filming this movie well and achieve Li Huan's expected results. But I didn't expect the filming cycle of this movie to be too long, even if it was in a hurry, even if Li Huan did the special effects, if you don't count the time to do the special effects, it will take about three years to come out in the end, and now seeing that the end of the movie is going up, it has been two and a half years, and all the post-production has been completed, and if it can be officially released, it will take at least three years.
In the past three years, if it weren't for this hurricane, Yu Ting and Li Huan would basically have no chance to meet, so Yu Ting often thinks at night whether it was wrong for her to take over this movie, even if she increases her added value, but compared to the relationship between herself and Li Huanlai, the two of them are more separated.
But as soon as she saw Li Huan today, Yu Ting knew that her worries were superfluous, because Li Huan is like this, and he can dispel all your worries - no matter what kind of worries you have. As long as he is there, he can give people great peace of mind, and even in the face of earthquakes and tsunamis and impending hurricanes, Yu Ting feels that as long as Li Huan is there, everything is not a problem.
So in fact, the two of them did not have the kind of estrangement that Yu Ting imagined, the two of them stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and Yu Ting leaned on Li Huan's shoulder so naturally, as if they had never been separated. And Li Huan naturally stopped Yu Ting's shoulders, and the two of them leaned close together, as if they had never been separated. It's just that Li Huan's eyes at this time are staring at the sea outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, his brows are tightly locked, as if he is thinking about something.
Of course, Yu Ting thinks that it doesn't matter, as long as Li Huan has no sense of identity with him, then this man is still her own, and all this is enough. She constantly adjusted her body to make herself more comfortable leaning on Li Huan's shoulder, more than two years, almost three years, her man has grown, from the previous thin shoulders to a man who can really rely on - Yu Ting is enjoying the peace of mind at this moment, two years of waiting, it is all worth it, two years of time turned into the sweetest time.
As for what Li Huan is looking at, Yu Ting also understands very well, after all, the earthquake and tsunami are coming soon, and now is not the time for Qingqing and me.
Li Guang looked at the sea in the distance, the more he looked, the heavier his eyes became, and the worse his face became, look
"Sir, will there really be a tsunami?" The housekeeper looked at Li Huan's appearance, his anger and helplessness from the beginning, and finally his expression changed. He figured out one thing. He has seen a young man like Li Huan, a person who can be a housekeeper in this kind of place, he has some vision, this kind of young man is high-spirited, he does everything, and even kills people and sets fires, but he just can't deceive people.
And even if he deceives others, he won't lie to himself, if he deceives himself, then the expression on this young man's face is too powerful - the old housekeeper thought for a long time, and finally asked cautiously, he felt that Li Huan didn't seem to be joking.
The two Chinese in front of them seem to be more imposing than their own bosses, definitely not small people, and there is another point, after they defeated all the guards, except for restricting everyone from not being allowed to leave this villa, there is no out-of-the-ordinary action. Could it be that they really saw that there was a tsunami, the old housekeeper looked at Li Huan and subconsciously believed it.
Li Huan nodded, he still had a good impression of the old housekeeper: "When the earthquake happened just now, we were on the road below, and we were originally going to go to the town in the north along the road, but we witnessed everything that happened just now......
Before the words fell, the ground shook again, needless to say, there were aftershocks. However, the aftershocks lasted only a few seconds and caused little damage. However, this aftershock confirmed Li Huan's words from the side, that is, earthquakes are still happening, and if undersea earthquakes continue to occur, the probability of tsunami will be greater.
"According to my estimates, the magnitude of the undersea earthquake just now must have exceeded at least eight magnitude, and such a strong undersea earthquake will inevitably cause a large-scale tsunami. If you go down the mountain just now, you won't have a place to hide if the tsunami comes! You're lucky, if you just tried to get rid of us, then I'll kick you all out. Just now you kindly lent us a place to take refuge, and I can't bear to see you go to death, that's why you're so arrogant...... But I won't be wrong, you'll find out later. ”
Li Huan said as he pointed to the hills below, "And the mountain where this villa is located is the highest mountain around, about five hundred meters above sea level, right?"
"That's right, sir, this mountain is 507 meters above sea level, which is the highest mountain in the vicinity. Back then, our lord chose to build a holiday villa here because it was the highest mountain in the surrounding area. Speaking of this, the old butler was a little proud: "This is the highest villa on the island, and the other villas are below us, but if you say so, will they be very dangerous except for us?"
Li Huan nodded, "It's possible, you see, once a tsunami occurs, according to the calculation that the maximum impact height of the tsunami is four times the height of the tsunami, the peaks below two hundred meters are very dangerous." The altitude here is more than 500 meters, and unless the height of the tsunami can exceed 100 meters, the tsunami will not be able to impact such a high altitude. Moreover, the surrounding mountains are lower than here, and there are no other mountains to block them, and the tsunami can directly overflow those peaks, thus reducing the impact on the area. ”
"That means that the rest of the people will still be in danger?" The old housekeeper was able to let Li Huan and them in, and he was also a kind-hearted person, but now that he heard what Li Huan said, he began to worry about the others again: "Then should we notify the other people and let the other people leave the low place as soon as possible to take refuge?"
"No way, we can't notify them as soon as possible, I can only tell you that we are absolutely safe here, it's not that I don't want to save them, but it's too late. Li Huan turned his head to look at the old butler and continued: "And our situation is not very good, from the current situation, unless we have a large helicopter to pull all of us away before the tsunami, it is the safest here." I can bring in a big helicopter, but you know, a hurricane is coming soon, and no helicopter can fly in a hurricane. So, as it stands, it's safest for us to hide in this place. ”
This analysis made the old housekeeper's eyes more convinced and grateful, and he was about to say something when the bedroom door was pushed open, and Liu Qianhuan ran up panting with a few crew guards. Looking at the appearance of a few of them, their faces were pale, as if they had seen something terrible, the crew guards were a little better, Liu Qianhuan himself was pale, white and scary, and his head was covered in cold sweat, as if he had seen a damn.
"What's going on?" you change to a new move, and you can't do anything now, especially when a natural disaster is about to happen, and a little thing is a big deal.
But fortunately, it's not a big deal, Liu Qianhuan seemed to see something, he handed Li Huan a telescope: "Brother Huan, look!"
Li Huan took a telescope and handed it to Yu Ting, and then said to the old housekeeper: "These are the guards of our crew, if there is anything impolite about their actions just now, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay sir, if it were me, I might do the same in the current situation. It's nothing, you and Madame and they are fine here......"
"Madam......" Li Huan's face turned red when he heard this.
