Chapter 489: The Night of the Earthquake
Xu Liquan saw that Lou Jingzhong parked the car in an empty parking lot, got out of the car and went straight to him, and suddenly had a bad premonition, Lou Jingzhong can be said to hate himself, and he will never take the initiative to talk to him if he has nothing to do.
Xu Liquan parked the car, opened the door and got out of the car, Zhang Kexin also got out of the car from the other side, holding on to the roof of the car and looking at Lou Jingzhong and Xu Liquan on the other side.
"Fang Shi asked me to tell you that there will be an earthquake in the mountains ahead, within about five kilometers, within six hours, so we are sleeping in the open area today."
After speaking, Lou Jingzhong turned around to leave, Xu Liquan was stunned, and immediately stopped him: "Wait, you mean that there will be an earthquake around here?" β
"I didn't say it, but Fang Shi said it."
"He's sure?"
Lou Jingzhong glanced at Zhang Kexin who spoke unhappily: "You are also a warlock, Fang Shi said so just now, a feng shui master can't even find an earthquake, what kind of feng shui master is it?" I'm ashamed, I'm not a feng shui master, so I don't know if there is going to be an earthquake here, but among the feng shui masters I've seen, there is no one more powerful than Fang Shi! β
Xu Liquan looked at Zhang Kexin solemnly, Zhang Kexin blushed and said: "I'm not a feng shui master, but the surrounding qi induction does make people a little uncomfortable, maybe there will really be an earthquake." β
"This is no joke, once an earthquake warning is issued, this national highway will be closed, and the surrounding villages and towns will carry out disaster prevention operations, involving a lot of people, and the impact will not be small."
Lou Jingzhong shrugged: "This has nothing to do with me, although I would like to say that there is nothing to lose by hiding, but your thoughts are always complicated." We won't get involved. I took advantage of this time to buy more water and food. If the road is blocked by a landslide, we'll have to stay here for a few more days. β
After speaking, Lou Jingzhong turned around and walked towards the small shop with the lights on, Xu Liquan thought about it, and walked towards Fang Shi's car, Fang Shi was recording something on his mobile phone, and didn't seem to notice Xu Liquan's arrival.
"Master Fang"
"Well, you don't believe it?" Fang Shi said without lifting it: "Actually, this is the first time I have seen this situation. I can't be 100% sure that it was a precursor caused by an earthquake, but it's very likely, otherwise I really can't think of a natural phenomenon that could cause such a large-scale change in breath. β
"Could this be just a small earthquake?"
Fang Shi still lowered his head and typed on the screen: "I don't know what to do, I said it all, it's the first time I've seen this situation, isn't there a local earthquake monitoring agency?" β
"Okay, I know it, I'll take care of it."
Xu Liquan thought about it, he didn't have to judge this matter at all, he only needed to report the matter. In case the boss doesn't believe it, that's also a matter for the top. Anyway, I did my duty.
Xu Liquan returned to his car and used an encrypted communication link to report Fang Shi's judgment.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Kexin squinted at Xu Liquan and said, "Don't you need to notify the local department?" β
"They said that we don't have to worry about this, and we may not believe it if we notify the other party, or they will ask for instructions from their superiors for verification, why bother."
Zhang Kexin turned his head to look at the vast mountain shadows around him at night, sighed and said: "I believe it a little now, the atmosphere here is getting more and more weird, which makes people feel very uneasy." β
Xu Liquan looked at Zhang Kexin seriously: "Let's also go and prepare some water and food, it will definitely become a shortage of materials at that time." β
Zhang Kexin glanced at Xu Liquan amusedly, and nodded after the most sluggishness: "Okay, I'll go, you guard the car." β
When Zhang Kexin came back with a box of biscuits and a box of mineral water, Xu Liquan was talking to someone, Zhang Kexin put down the things, and Xu Liquan's call ended, but Xu Liquan was in a daze after putting down the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"It's someone from the military calling, strange."
"What's wrong?"
"They decided to evacuate those who had already entered the mountains and block the roads."
"You mean there's no action from the local authorities?"
Xu Liquan nodded, while Zhang Kexin shook his head.
The time pointed to ten o'clock at night, Fang Shi sat on the mineral water box next to the car, looked at the e-book on the mobile phone in his hand, looked calm, and Lou Jingzhong, who was lying in the back seat of the open door, finally couldn't help jumping out.
"Fang Shi, you say, why didn't they notify the disaster prevention and evacuation! Do you really regret it when something happens? β
Fang Shi raised his head and looked at the town where the lights were fading: "How many people are here?" β
"Three or five thousand is always there."
"Did you say anything when you went shopping?"
Lou Jingzhong laughed dryly and said, "The boss asked me why I wanted to buy so many things, and I said there was going to be an earthquake." β
"And does he believe it?"
"I don't believe it."
Fang Shi sighed: "So, we really can't do anything. β
"But you can't just watch these thousands of people buried under the rubble, although I am from an evil path, but I am not so cold-blooded."
Fang Shi pursed his lips and smiled, looked at the time, stood up and said, "Then let's do something, so as not to disturb my conscience in the future." β
Lou Jingzhong nodded excitedly: "Okay, what to do?" β
"Prepare the Taiyi Liangyi flags, and I'll go and arrange them."
After Fang Shi finished speaking, he quickly walked into the darkness, Lou Jingzhong turned around and went to the car to take out the Taiyi Liangyi flag, and after a while, Xu Liquan stood behind him.
Lou Jingzhong glanced at Xu Liquan with displeasure and said, "Are you also going to witness how this town has turned into rubble?" β
Xu Liquan smiled bitterly: "What are you going to do?" β
"Can you take care of it? You can continue to stand on the side and watch the excitement. β
"What can we do?"
Lou Jingzhong shrugged his shoulders and untied the ties of the Taiyi Liangyi flag, the exquisite and mysterious flag hung down naturally, and the two yellow streamers swayed slowly in the night wind.
Xu Liquan saw that Lou Jingzhong didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say. Zhang Kexin also walked over. The three of them were standing in front of an emergency light. Silently looking at the town in the night.
The sound of footsteps came, Fang Shi's figure appeared in front of everyone, Fang Shi glanced at Xu Liquan and said: "I will use illusion to affect the residents in this neighborhood for a while, after the riot, can you exert a little influence on the local government?" β
"Of course! The military seems to trust your judgment, and I asked the military to put pressure on the local government as well. β
"Alright, you go and prepare, the illusion array will begin soon. Oh, by the way, if you feel like the ground is shaking for a while, you don't have to worry about hearing any strange sounds, it's just an illusion. β
After Fang Shi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and took the Taiyi Liangyi banner in Lou Jingzhong's hand, Lou Jingzhong thought about it, and sat down honestly, saving himself a little bit of ugliness.
Fang Shi walked into the darkness again, and Xu Liquan and Zhang Kexin glanced at each other. They turned and walked towards their car, but they hadn't reached their car yet. Suddenly, the earth trembled, Xu Liquan was shocked, and Zhang Kexin was even more shocked, this illusion array had no warning at all, and he was even tricked unconsciously, which was terrifying.
"Woo~"
A low voice seemed to come from the ground, like a cow hiding somewhere chirping, and then, the ground trembled again, and then again, and then the tremor became more and more severe, and there seemed to be a white light in the dark night sky, Xu Liquan's legs were deviated, and he only felt that the center of gravity of his body was completely crooked, he staggered, quickly regained his center of gravity, staggered to the side of the car, opened the car door with a shocked face and grabbed the encrypted satellite phone.
The lights of the houses around the parking lot were lit up, and then people rushed out shouting, most of them wearing pajamas or wrapped in towels, and everyone gathered towards the parking lot and other open places, and the scene was chaotic, but I don't know when the road was, but the earthquake and various visions had completely stopped.
Fang Shi re-rolled the Taiyi Liangyi flags and put them in the car, and the people gathered in the parking lot began to discuss fiercely, and then they were busy calling relatives and friends, or inquiring with the relevant departments, and those who were bold took advantage of the calmness to secretly go home to get clothes and belongings, Lou Jingzhong and Zhang Kexin took the opportunity to spread among the crowd that this was a precursor earthquake, and that a bigger earthquake would happen soon.
Soon the whole town woke up, the sirens and loud horns of police cars were calling the residents to evacuate in the open area and telling everyone what to bring, and about an hour later, several military vehicles arrived with truckloads of soldiers with loaded guns, and they began to maintain order and help the old and young to evacuate.
Lou Jingzhong returned to his car and found that his territory had been occupied by many locals, and even a few children were lying in the car.
"Fang Shi, this movement is big, the earthquake won't stop, right?"
Fang Shi clapped his hands and looked at Lou Jingzhong with some amusement: "Can you understand the mood of the local officials now?" If it was really a false alarm, they would definitely be blamed, and they would have to eat the hangings of their superiors. β
"Cut!"
Fang Shi smiled: "Then do you want the earthquake to come?" Or not coming? β
Lou Jingzhong couldn't answer, of course he hoped that the earthquake wouldn't come, otherwise these people in front of him would be homeless, but if the earthquake didn't come, they made such a big noise, and they were a little faceless.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed in the sky, like a silent lightning, and then the earth shook violently, followed by a violent shaking, and then a muffled roar from the earth was heard.
Some unprepared people suddenly turned into rolling gourds, screaming one after another, fortunately, everyone quickly squatted down, and then saw that the surrounding houses were like papier-mΓ’chΓ© props, and they collapsed so easily, and the simple concrete floor of the road and parking lot also cracked one after another, so frightened that the people around them even rolled and crawled to dodge, for fear of being swallowed by these cracks.
Many children were frightened and cried, and adults shouted meaningless words, accompanied by the rumble of houses collapsing and the strange sound of the earth, and the whole town was plunged into darkness and fear. (To be continued......)
