"Damn! The Great Sichuan Earthquake!! Zhao Qi stood up violently and shouted with a grim face.

"Zhao Qi, what's wrong?" The three dead friends didn't care that this was in class at this time, and stood up and helped Zhao Qi and asked.

"I have something to go out for, and I'll talk to you when I get back." Zhao Qi felt the concern of the three dead friends, but at this time he didn't have time to waste it, and after saying a word to the three of them, he quickly ran out of the classroom.

"Teacher Zuo, I have something urgent to go out now." Zhao Qi came to the office and said to the head teacher, Mr. Zuo.

"Okay, what's going on?" Zuo Ziwen asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'll be back soon." It's not easy to make this matter clear to him, so I can only stop talking about it.

After saying goodbye to Zuo Ziwen, Zhao Qi came to the playground of the school, and walking on the road, Zhao Qi couldn't help but think about his previous life, the biggest natural disaster since the founding of New China.

At 2:28 p.m. on May 12, 2008, an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale struck Sichuan Province and northern Sichuan, killing more than 69,000 people, injuring 370,000 people, and leaving more than 17,000 people missing. The earthquake was one of the most destructive, widespread, and most casualties in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was known as the "Chuanwen Earthquake". In order to express the deep condolences of the people of all ethnic groups across the country for the victims of the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, the State Council has decided to designate May 19 to 21, 2008 as the National Day of Mourning. Since 2009, the National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day has been celebrated on May 12 every year.

"Hey, Grandpa Liu." Zhao Qi, who came to the playground, dialed Liu Yuanlong's phone.

"Xiao Qi?" Liu Yuanlong's phone call from Zhao Qi was also a little strange, after all, since that incident happened in his freshman year of high school, Zhao Qi had never called him again, and he himself had not contacted Zhao Qi again because he felt a little guilty.

"Xiao Qi, it's been a long time since you've called me." Being able to receive another call from Zhao Qi, Liu Yuanlong was also very happy, and said with a smile.

"Grandpa Liu. I have an urgent matter to tell you, and this matter is related to the safety of the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people. Zhao Qi's serious tone and the content of his words startled Liu Yuanlong on the other side, and he immediately became serious.

"Xiao Qi, you can say it."

"Grandpa Liu, on May 12 this year, that is, three days later, at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a magnitude 8 earthquake is about to occur in China, and the location is in the Chuanwen and Beichuan regions of Sichuan Province."

"What?" Hearing this shocking news, Liu Yuanlong was also shocked.

"Xiao Qi, how did you know this news?" It's May 9th, and there's still three full days left until the 12th. Liu Yuanlong was very curious about how Zhao Qi knew.

"I ...... I did the tricks. Zhao Qi couldn't say that he was reborn, so he casually made up a reason.

"Xiao Qi, you must know that this is not a joke, if the information is false or untrue, don't talk about me, even you will be implicated." Liu Yuanlong was a little uncertain about the accuracy of Zhao Qi's news, he naturally wouldn't believe that Zhao Qi would talk nonsense to entertain himself, since he said so, then it was very likely to be true. But the reason for the hexagram is too far-fetched.

"Grandpa Liu, this news is absolutely accurate, think about it, what good will it do if I talk nonsense? Nothing to have fun with? If you don't act quickly. By that time it will be too late, and this is a matter that involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Seeing that Liu Yuanlong didn't believe in himself, Zhao Qi suddenly became anxious, and almost shouted into the microphone with his throat in his voice.

"Xiao Qi. It's not that I believe you, but you ......" Liu Yuanlong didn't say the latter words.

"Liu Yuanlong, I'll tell you. If you don't believe, you will bear the consequences. Zhao Qi was angry with Liu Yuanlong, but he also knew Liu Yuanlong's difficulties, after all, the source of his news was too strange.

"Liu Yuanlong, you can't understand the magic of cultivators, hurry up and pass on the news, otherwise, you will wait for hundreds of thousands of unjust souls to come to you for trouble." Zhao Qi said viciously. On the other side of the microphone, Liu Yuanlong didn't make a sound again.

"Okay, Xiao Qi, I believe you, I'll deal with this matter now." After a while, Liu Yuanlong finally agreed with Zhao Qi's opinion, after all, hundreds of thousands of lives were too heavy compared to himself.

After Liu Yuanlong hung up the phone, he immediately found Gu Changming.

"Chief, I just got the news that at about two o'clock in the afternoon of May 12 this year, a magnitude 8 earthquake will occur in my country, and the location is in the Sichuan and Beichuan regions of Sichuan Province." As soon as Liu Yuanlong's words came out, Gu Changming was taken aback.

"Where did the news come from?" Gu Changming asked.

"Yes...... It was given to me by Zhao Qi. Liu Yuanlong hesitated for a moment and said, after all, there was an unpleasant thing between Zhao Qi and Gu Changming.

"Zhao Qi? How did he know? Gu Changming asked suspiciously.

"His way is profound, and it is calculated by divination."

"Fortune telling? Are you kidding? "Although he knows the magic of cultivators, Gu Changming still doesn't believe in such a thing as fortune-telling.

"Chief, I also think it's a bit funny that he only says the divination, but if you think about it, Zhao Qi doesn't have any reason to lie, it doesn't do him any good, and in case he says the truth. That ......" Liu Yuanlong did not continue, but Gu Changming already knew what Liu Yuanlong meant.

Gu Changming didn't speak, he sat quietly on the bench and thought, while Liu Yuanlong didn't squeak and stood quietly to the side.

"You call the Earthquake Bureau now and ask if there are any other clues." After a while, Gu Changming explained.

……

Liu Yuanlong's movements were fast, and he had already finished his call after five minutes.

"Chief...... There's no direct evidence of this. And Gu Changming, who heard the news, didn't have any other reaction, and said to Liu Yuanlong: "You call Zhao Qi now, I want to talk to him." ”

Zhao Qi was still on the playground at this time, thinking about the follow-up, in his mind, if Liu Yuanlong didn't believe in himself, then he would have to use some unconventional means, after all, the Sichuan earthquake was the biggest disaster that had ever happened, and he couldn't watch hundreds of thousands of compatriots suffer such huge pain. As I was thinking about it, the phone in my pocket vibrate.

"Hey." Zhao Qi quickly picked up the phone.

"I'm Gu Changming." Gu Changming's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is that you?" Zhao Qi said strangely.

"Zhao Qi, let me ask you, whether your news is true, you have to know the seriousness of this matter." Gu Changming asked solemnly.

"Of course I do, and I don't need to amuse you. The news is absolutely true, along with the time, place, etc. Everything is true. Zhao Qi didn't bother to be happy at this time, so he didn't sarcastically mock Gu Changming.

"Okay, I trust you." To Zhao Qi's surprise, Gu Changming actually believed Zhao Qi.

"Uh." Suddenly, Zhao Qi was a little speechless, after all, he had an unpleasant conversation with Gu Changming before.

"I know what you want to say, but that's just a matter for you and me, after all, I'm a member of the country, and I'm not stupid enough to take the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and be angry with you." It seemed to know what Zhao Qi was thinking, Gu Changming said lightly.

"Heh, although you are a very annoying person, you are still a good leader." Zhao Qi chuckled.

"It's not up to you to be a good leader, wait until May 12th, if there is really an earthquake, I will personally call you to apologize for what happened last time, if it doesn't happen, I can't say that the two of us will have to fight again." After Gu Changming finished speaking, he hung up the phone, which made Zhao Qi on the other side couldn't help laughing.

Gu Changming put down the phone, turned around and said to Liu Yuanlong.

"Don't hesitate, you should contact the Earthquake Bureau right now, explain the situation to them, and ask them to come up with a simulated seismogram immediately. Then report the matter to the State Council, and say...... I will vouch for my party spirit. Gu Changming's words were heard in Liu Yuanlong's second middle school, which immediately made Liu Yuanlong's eyes moisten.

"Yes." Wiping the tears from his eyes, Liu Yuanlong turned around and left Gu Changming's office.

"Zhao Qi, I'll take a gamble with you, you can't let me down." Gu Changming sat on the chair and said lightly.

……

The high-level shock caused by the news is naturally extraordinary, but the State Council still attaches great importance to this matter and would rather miss it than let it go. They immediately informed the leaders of Sichuan Province about the incident.

On 10 May, people from the two regions of Sichuan, Wen and northern Sichuan and nearby towns began an emergency evacuation, and all kinds of supplies and anti-danger personnel entered Sichuan Province in full arms, and for a while, the whole country was shaken.

Fortunately, Zhao Qi's notification was timely, and Liu Yuanlong and Gu Changming were also very fast, and finally all the people in these two areas were evacuated on the morning of May 12, and all parties were ready.

"It's 2:28 p.m., isn't it?" Gu Changming asked while standing in the hall of the General Administration of Earthquakes, and in front of him was a huge monitor, which was a top-down view of the entire Sichuan Province.

"Yes, yes. It's twenty minutes now, and there should be eight minutes left. Liu Yuanlong looked at the time below the computer and replied.

"Have all the personnel been evacuated?"

"Well, they were all evacuated before ten o'clock this morning."

"Are the disaster responders in place?"

"It's already in place."

"Yes." After asking, Gu Changming didn't ask any more questions, and quietly waited for the arrival at 2:28 p.m.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, 14:28:04 on May 12, 2008 arrived.

At this moment, the sky fell apart...... (To be continued......)

PS: A moment of silence for those compatriots who died!
