Sitting barefoot on the curb with the phone in his ear, Wu Pan's face was full of helplessness and a little impatient.

"Yes, yes! Nothing! The epicenter of Kaikoura is in the north, more than 300 miles away from here, far away! We only felt the earthquake here, there was no loss, no people were injured, the building did not collapse, the electricity was not stopped, and the network was not broken. If you don't believe me, I'll take some pictures of you and send them back, wait!"

As he spoke, he took the phone in front of him, pulled up the camera and began to click to take pictures, and then sent it to his mother, who was thousands of miles away. Thanks to the special design of the independent baseband, his Bee 7 has the ability of dual SIM and dual calls, and it is completely problematic to send pictures to the Internet during the call.

In the Internet era, information is spreading fast, and people on the other side of the world have already gotten the news one after another. When other people saw the news, it may just be "oh", but the parents at home did not wait to ignore it, and as soon as they saw the words "the epicenter is near Christchurch and the earthquake has a magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale", they became anxious and immediately called him across the ocean.

It's no wonder that they are in a hurry, but Christchurch and the earthquake are "too deep": in September 10, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake occurred 30 kilometers to the west, in February 11, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake occurred 10 kilometers to the southeast, killing nearly 200 people and collapsing the landmark cathedral, and in December 11, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake occurred 10 kilometers to the east, messing up everyone's Christmas.

After the earthquake, people began to rebuild, the collapsed cathedral was demolished and replaced with a "paper church" designed by the island architect Shigeru Ban, and the multi-storey buildings in the commercial area were so badly damaged that they were simply fenced off as memorial sites, and an earthquake-resistant street full of shipping containers was opened next to it, and everything seemed to be going in a good direction.

In February this year, another earthquake struck the area, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck 15 kilometers east of the seabed, shattering glass and shaking shelves, disrupting the locals' Valentine's Day and reminding people of the fear of earthquakes.

In this case, I heard that there was another earthquake "near Christchurch", or a more powerful 7.9 level, others were naturally worried, and all kinds of cross-border long-distance calls came to ask for safety, and I don't know whether New Zealand Telecom and Vodafone are crying or laughing.

In fact, the epicentre of the earthquake was 300 miles away, and the damage here in Christchurch was not as great as in the capital, Wellington, which is located across the sea from Kaikoura Peninsula in the North Island, and many high-rise buildings were damaged in the earthquake.

Of course, the hardest hit is Kaikoura, near the epicenter, where whale watching, dolphins, penguins, and lobster eaters are the ones who need to be most concerned at this time. Landslides and coastal roads have been cut off, and they have temporarily become isolated "islanders".

After receiving Wu Pan's photo and seeing that their son was still fine, the parents on the other side finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then a new doubt crept into my mind again, "Why haven't there been a single house down, and there aren't many people on the street, don't lie to your mother with other photos!" asked Wu's mother over there.

"No, no! itself is like this," Wu Pan hurriedly explained, "New Zealanders also know that they have a lot of earthquakes here, so they will not easily build high-rise buildings, and skyscrapers are even more pitiful.
