Chapter 120: The Aftermath of the Earthquake [One Update]

Huaxia Earthquake Network.

"Brother Wan, there was another earthquake in Shuzhou Province, with a magnitude of about 6......"

"How is that possible? Didn't there just be an earthquake in May? Was it an aftershock from Okawa? ”

"No, the location is the western edge of the Shuzhou Basin, Dashan City."

"Sort out the number immediately and send a notification within 3 minutes!"

……

Dashan City Civilization Park.

At the southernmost end of the park is a small banyan grove with an area of about 2 acres. The trees have been untended since they were planted, and over time weeds have flourished and a natural microclimate ecosystem has been formed with the help of small leaky pipes. It also attracts many small animals to inhabit this area.

Turning over the calf-high weeds, from insects represented by cricket ants, to mammals represented by voles and hedgehogs, to owls perched on trees, birds represented by wild sparrows.

They play out their own story in this grove every day.

At this moment, the brilliance and noisy cheers outside could not interrupt an owl's interest in a family of voles.

And not far to the west under its tree, there is also a hedgehog couple who are also eyeing the three voles who came out for a walk.

The distance relationship between owls, hedgehogs, and voles unfolds in a V-shape.

They looked at each other, the father of the vole noticed the old hunter owl in the tree, and the mother vole also saw the old neighbor hedgehog couple, the old couple protected the child and froze in place, and suddenly gave birth to a tragic sense of 'the house leak coincided with the overnight rain'.

The vibrations from the ground left them with nowhere to hide, and when they came to the surface, they met these two old neighbors......

"Ah~" The male hedgehog raised his paws with a cry of joy, and the corners of his mouth trembled as if he was greeting them.

The owl pressed its head and looked at them with round eyes, as if considering whether to 'stock' it for a while.

Just when the three parties were quietly confronting each other, a wave of anger that came to this land was suddenly released!

Voles, owls, and hedgehogs reacted at the same time and scattered.

Whoa, whoa, whoa--

As the owl flies into the night sky, the sparrows and birds in the grove wake up from their sleep!

The crickets and grasshoppers on the ground waved their wings off the ground in large swaves, and some earthworms, snakes, insects, and centipedes also ran out of their habitats in panic.

……

The golden-eyed owl flew into the night sky and had not yet settled down, when suddenly a blinding bright light rushed from thirty degrees to the ground in front of it. The owl hurriedly adjusted its wings and flashed, and after 1 second, the light exploded in the air behind it!

Come to the fireworks display point in Civilization Park.

I saw that the freshly lit fireworks on the ground shook like tumblers under the shaking of the earth, and the fireworks that rushed out rushed out slammed into all directions like frightened birds.

A few of them brushed off the ground and headed straight for the point near the fireworks workers! Everyone dispersed in a hurry and escaped this catastrophe in time.

When the burst fireworks ignited the hay, Liu Wenhua, who was guarding the side and supervising, suddenly woke up and shouted: "Earthquake! It's an earthquake! Don't set off fireworks for the time being, don't run around, and stand in the open space! Fast! ”

With this shout, the workers and members of the activity group who set off the fireworks came to their senses and instantly gathered in the center of the venue!

Bang bang bang - fireworks were detonated one after another.

Liu Wenhua suppressed his beating heart, tried his best to maintain his body balance, and his pair of wide-open eyes were always vigilant about the surrounding situation.

Standing on the ground at this moment, he had the feeling of stepping on a quagmire swamp, as if the earth would sink and swallow him at any moment!

This sudden sense of fear raised his heartbeat to the extreme: "No, I'll notify the boss as soon as there is a signal!" ”

While thinking, he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Fan's number.

……

In the middle of the square, Lao Li's family is located.

At this moment, Li Dongdong, who had not yet experienced the earthquake, didn't know what was going on, so he held his father's shoulder and said, "Dad, I'm a little dizzy......"

When Lou Huilan, the mother beside him, heard this, she also shook the ground and leaned on the lamppost and said, "Huh...... I don't get dizzy when you say that! Why can't you stand still? No, why is the ground shaking?! Earthquake, earthquake! ”

As soon as the word earthquake appeared in her mouth, many spectators in the square shouted in panic: "The earthquake is coming!" An earthquake is coming! ”

In an instant, the whole square was like canned sardines huddled together, and panic instantly spread in the hearts of everyone!

At this moment, the temporary security points set up in the two sections of the square turned on the loudspeakers, and a police officer shouted through the loudspeaker: "Please stay calm! I'm a cop! Please don't move, it's very safe in the open area......"

Later, the horn on the fire truck also sounded at the same time: "Citizens please rest assured, there are no dangerous buildings nearby, please keep your position and do not move...... Our public security, fire protection, and medical care are all nearby, please maintain your own order......"

"Yes, it's not at home, don't panic."

"Yes, yes, don't mess around. Listen to the government! ”

With the radio prompt, many citizens calmed down and shouted: "Everyone listen to the government's command!" Don't run around! ”

Suddenly, the sound spread to every corner of the square, and the panic that had been spreading among the people stopped, and some people began to help each other hand in hand.

"Xiao Liu, you keep shouting. Da Zhuang, notify the assistant manager to maintain law and order, and organize volunteers to see if there is ...... injured again" Wang Hongqi, the captain of the police, saw that the surroundings were quite stable, and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact the leader of the sub-bureau after a few words of advice.

The other 18 viewing points also maintained a relatively stable order under the guidance of on-site public security and assistant management personnel.

……

In the middle of the square, under the street lamps.

When everyone calmed down, Lou Huilan woke up from the earthquake panic, felt the shaking ground and hurriedly said, "Husband and son, run." ”

"Panic what!" Husband Li Hongjun pulled his wife back and said, "Didn't you see that everyone didn't move?" Is it safest to stand here? Did I say I made you stupid? Run, are you going to run to Yugoslavia? ”

The few citizens around who heard it chuckled, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Lou Huilan's face was red, she turned her head to look at Xiaoli and said, "Come, come to Auntie." Don't be afraid, it'll be over in a while. ”

"Thank you, Auntie." Three middle school girls held hands and approached the Li family of three.

At this time, Xiaoli suddenly remembered her parents who were still at home, and said anxiously: "Ah, my parents are still at home." What to do? ”

When she said this, the two friends next to her were also anxious, and the two adults behind her said: "Don't worry about the child, your family should be fine." Do you know your parents' phone numbers? Call them from my phone. ”

"Thank you, auntie, uncle." Xia Li hurriedly bowed and took the phone.

Li Hongjun also remembered his old mother who lived in the hospital, and hurriedly dialed the second sister-in-law's phone to inquire about the situation.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm in the Red Army, how are you and your mother? How about the second and youngest nephews? ”

"It's all right! I was walking outside the ward with my mom just after the earthquake, and we came out. Your brother just called and said that he was fine, and Tian Tian was here. How's that going on over there? ”

"That's good, I'm safe here. Stay safe. ”

Li Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief, and then dialed the phone number of his father-in-law's house.

In addition to them, phones and greetings began to ring in every corner of the square, and thousands of digital signals intertwined in the sky over Dashan City......

The leading group headed by the secretary of the Dashan City CPC Committee also connected to each other at the first time of the earthquake, and the task of fighting the earthquake and providing disaster relief was rapidly being brewed.

……

In Pengcheng Snack Street, the barbecue stall where Xinghuo and Weixin employees are located is quiet.

Zhang Fan listened to Liu Wenhua's report seriously, and after hearing the news of the end of the earthquake, he nodded and advised: "You must put your own safety first in the earthquake area." In addition, don't set off the fireworks that haven't been set off, so as not to cause a fire again...... Feel free to contact me if there is anything. ”

"Okay boss." Liu Wenhua nodded and said, "Then I'll go and understand the situation first, and then I'll report back to you." ”

"Okay." Hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Now we just have to wait for the local government's casualty statistics, and then we will know if our plan has worked.

"Fanzi, is it okay over there?" Li Bo asked.

"It's fine." Zhang Fan drank a beer and said, "He's relatively safe for the time being." ”

Hearing this, the hundreds of Xinghuo employees around looked at each other, and no one expected that an earthquake would occur in the finally selected city.

Zhou Yang drank the beer in his hand and said, "Why do I think we have a bit of a bad idea?" At the last moment, let's do this. ”

"That's not necessarily Mr. Zhou." Feng Hong behind him said: "I think our fireworks show should have saved a lot of mountain citizens." I just don't know how strong this earthquake is, but I've heard that the earthquake is ten times stronger than the one magnitude......"

"It's out!" As she was talking, Li Shishi held her mobile phone and read: "According to the China Earthquake Network, at 20:48 on November 2, 2008, Yanjing time, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake occurred in Dashan City, Shuzhou Province, with an epicenter depth of about 12 kilometers. The surrounding counties and townships felt a strong earthquake. ”

"Where did you see that?" Zhang Fan immediately went over to watch, and Li Shishi handed him the mobile phone and said, "This is the mobile phone website of Lao Lang." The information above should be accurate. ”

Many of the people began to look at their phones, and the discussion gradually rose.

"Boss, Sister Hong asked if we should go back to the company for a meeting?" Su Xiu leaned over to Zhang Fan and whispered.

Zhang Fan looked at the time on his phone and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." It's not too early now, so you can ask everyone if they're eating well. ”

"Hmm." Su Xiu nodded and walked towards Feng Hong and the others.

Xiao Xi saw that Xiu'er was close to that just now, and pouted and said to Xue Jun: "That one in white clothes is really not ashamed, Xiao Jun, you can take a good look at Brother Fanzi." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Xuejun heard Zhang Fan mention Su Xiu and explained: "Sister Xiu'er is Brother Fanzi's help......"

"Be more careful." Xiao Xi interrupted her, pulled Xue Jun and walked to Zhang Fan, "Let's go." Let's talk to Brother Fanzi, don't hide yourself out of sight all day long. ”

"Okay, Xiaoxi, I know." Xue Jun smiled and grabbed his best friend's arm. She is now confident in herself.

……

At half past nine in the evening, the black navigator drove into the gate of the Wangjiang Hotel. The car door opened, and Lu Hui's mother and daughter, Zhou Yang and Dong Xin got out of the car first.

Zhang Fan followed behind and talked on the phone with Xue Jun, who had just arrived at school: "Well, I'm also back to the hotel." You and Xiaoxi should rest early. ”

"I know Brother Fanzi." Xue Jun said with concern: "You drank a lot of wine today, and you have a good rest." On the other side of the mountain, I think it will be fine with the protection of Dabai! ”

Zhang Fan pursed his lips and said, "Da Bai is not an immortal, how can he protect them?" ”

"Because Dabai is cute!" Xiao Xi interjected: "I just said it to Xiao Jun. I think Dabai must have saved a lot of people today, because everyone went to see it, and even if the house collapsed, it would be fine. ”

"I hope so." Zhang Fan nodded and smiled.
