Chapter 12: Earthquakes

It was close to half past two when the three of them got into the car, and as the news of the earthquake forecast on the Internet intensified, many citizens ran out of their homes and buildings, staying in the car or in an open area. There are more and more cars on the road, and there are more and more police.

Ye Jin stopped at the intersection of the red light, lowered the window, and the noise outside poured into the car.

Ye Jin poked his head out and looked outside, then retracted and sat down, and said while fastening his seat belt: "You two buckle up your seat belts, why are there so many people outside? There are more and more cars on the road......

Before Ye Jin finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from the back of their car, and the whole car shook. Ye Zeyue sat alone in the back, trembling with fright. Tang Moqi and Ye Jin both turned around and looked through the back glass of the car. The back was already in flames, accompanied by thick black smoke, and a fuel tanker truck actually had a car accident and exploded. Passers-by instantly screamed and fled.

Tang Moqi and Ye Jin both sat back down, and at this time, the green light happened to turn on, Ye Jin stepped on the accelerator and immediately left the intersection.

There were more and more cars on the road, and Tang Moqi's car was also blocked on the road, Tang Moqi looked at the convoy behind him and decisively prepared to get out of the car.

"It's already half past two, and we won't be able to get out of the city if we continue to be blocked like this. Tang Moqi said as he unfastened his seat belt. They are flanked by tall buildings, and in the event of a major earthquake, it is dangerous even inside the car, and something falling from a high altitude is likely to hit the roof of the car.

Although Ye Jin was not sure whether the earthquake would happen, the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger, and his survival instinct made him have to choose to believe it, and he decisively chose to abandon the car at the moment. Tang Moqi put Ye Zeyue on his back, Ye Zeyue was actually sixteen years old, but because he was not good at walking all the year round, he looked thin, he looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his body was very light, even if Tang Moqi carried him on his back, he could run. Ye Jin drove the car to the flower garden in the green belt, put on his bag, and followed Tang Moqi through the gap with his wheelchair.

The three of them ran for nearly ten minutes with their heads covered, and finally reached a small park in the city, which was already full of people. Ye Jin stretched the wheelchair open, Tang Moqi put Ye Zeyue on it, bent over, propped his hands on his thighs, and panted heavily. Running for ten minutes with a person on his back, Ye Ze became lighter and lighter, and he also challenged Tang Moqi's limit. Ye Jin carried a big bag and ran in a wheelchair for so long without breathing at all, Tang Moqi could only envy, jealousy and hatred.

Ye Jin took the two of them to squeeze to a place with few people, this park is open, there are many food stalls at the entrance where they enter, many citizens are queuing up to buy food, and people are so crowded that they can barely walk.

Thanks to Ye Zeyue's blessing, everyone saw that such a lovely teenager was actually a disabled person, and they all made way for them with love. Soon they passed through the most crowded place and came to the lake, which was said to be a lake, but in fact it was just a small pond.

Ye Jin wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked at his watch, 2:46. Ye Jin fixed Ye Zeyue's wheelchair, the lake was muddy, a little wet, Ye Jin pressed a few times, and the two wheels of the wheelchair sank deep into the mud.

Tang Moqi also held on to the wheelchair and panted slightly, there were many people in the park, and most of them were talking about the earthquake. Tang Moqi took the bottle of water handed over by Ye Jin and poured down the small half bottle.

Ye Jin squinted at the tall building not far away, swallowed the last mouthful of water, turned his head and asked, "Xiao Qi, how do I feel that everyone knows that there is going to be an earthquake?" I didn't know that it had exploded on the Internet.

Tang Moqi glanced at him with slanted eyes and said, "News on the Internet." ”

The two didn't have time to communicate much, because the earthquake started. Ye Jin felt the shock and picked up Ye Zeyue in the wheelchair. Tang Moqi stretched out his hand to hold a small tree on the side.

Many people were screaming in panic, all kinds of loud noises exploded in their ears, Ye Zeyue hugged Ye Jin tightly, and his whole body trembled. Tang Moqi forced himself to open his eyes and look at this qiē, the earth was shaking, the high-rise buildings were overturning in an instant, and countless lives were dying. The earthquake in Haishi did not occur at 2:50 a.m., as reported in the previous news, but by two minutes.

The earthquake lasted for about a minute. Everyone squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, screaming in panic one after another. Explosions in the distance burst into flames, and smoke rose from all over the city.

Tang Moqi let go of the small tree on the side and rubbed the bark residue in his palm.

Ye Zeyue was put in a wheelchair, his big eyes were wet, and he choked up and asked, "Have you stopped?"

Ye Jin frowned and looked at Tang Moqi, after Tang Moqi accurately predicted the earthquake twice in a row, Ye Jin had to believe Tang Moqi.

Tang Moqi took a deep breath, spit out lightly, and said bitterly: "There are still a lot of aftershocks, it's not safe now, we'd better stay here and don't move, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Outside, in addition to the occasional explosions and sirens, the whole city was still trapped in the aftermath of the earthquake, and the citizens were crying and running in fright.

Tang Moqi squatted down against the small tree, the three of them listened silently, Ye Zeyue didn't seem to have recovered yet, he held his brother's hand tightly, and his little face turned pale. Tang Moqi's mobile phone rang suddenly, Tang Moqi quickly pressed answer, Tang Jianfeng's low magnetic voice seemed to penetrate Tang Moqi's eardrums, and instantly shocked his brain.

"Momo, how are you, where are you?" Tang Jianfeng's always cold voice was mixed with urgency and nervousness, but Tang Moqi's flustered mind slowly stabilized strangely.

Tang Moqi stretched out his hand to cover his slightly reddened eyes, and said softly, "I'm fine, I'm with Ye Jin." ”

Tang Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Momo, I'll be in Haishi tonight, wait for me." ”

Tang Moqi waited for a long time before he said "um" softly.

Ye Jin didn't know the discord between the Tang family brothers, and at this time, looking at Tang Moqi's expression, he had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say much, knowing that Tang Jianfeng would be able to go to the sea market at night, Ye Jin nodded, at this time, he had to wait.

After the three of them sat by the lake for a while, Ye Jin pushed Ye Zeyue to a shade of a tree, and the child's face was tanned, but he didn't say a word. Tang Moqi dipped a tissue in water and put it on the child's face, and aftershocks still occurred from time to time, but the power was much less. Tang Moqi settled down and found that he was very hungry, he had been driving to find the car dealer since the morning, and now he had just drunk some water, and Ye Jin and Ye Zeyue had eaten at noon.

Hearing Tang Moqi say that he was hungry, Ye Jin took out a pack of biscuits from his bag and threw it to him, the things in the bag were all packed up by Ye Zeyue, most of them were food and drink, as well as a lot of important documents and cash, a few clothes, and a small first aid kit.

Tang Moqi sat down on a big stone after eating the biscuits, ignored the Ye brothers, and faced the lake alone in a daze.
