Chapter 271: Sleepless in Tokyo Tonight

Masao Sano stepped aside, took out a pair of smart glasses and put them on, and dialed a phone call.

"Mr. Wu Tian, our house here has collapsed, and there are currently 6 dead, 12 injured, and 9 missing. Also, there is one more thing to report to you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Dr. Shimizu tried to bring the No. 3 tank out, but he failed and was crushed, and we just rescued him, but before he could say where the No. 3 tank fell, he died of his injuries."

"Baga, who allowed him to get the No. 3 can? Didn't you look for it? ”

"That place has collapsed again, and there is no way to find it, I mean it's better to bury it completely, so that the No. 3 tank doesn't break and leak its contents......"

"Yo Xi, your suggestion is very good, I will arrange someone to deal with it as soon as possible, and you take all the people in the institute away."

"Hey, I'll send them home right away and wait here for the people you sent."

Masao Sano gathered everyone and told them to hurry home, and there were soon professionals here to deal with the scene.

Now that the aftershocks are continuing, if you continue to dig like this, it is easy for things to happen.

Masao Sano was very leader-like and shook hands with the staff of the institute or patted them on the shoulder, so that the researchers could feel the care of the leaders before leaving.

In fact, everyone was in a hurry to leave, after all, such a big earthquake had collapsed their workplaces, and they didn't know what happened to their own family, and whether anyone in the family was injured......

Seeing everyone disperse in a hurry, Masao Sano, who spoke a lot, suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his throat and couldn't help coughing a few times.

Masao Sano stayed until two o'clock in the morning, feeling a chill all over his body, before waiting for the person sent by Chairman Wutian.

As soon as he exchanged a few words with these people and pointed out the location where Dr. Shimizu came out, the person actually fainted.

On this night, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government was still experiencing a continuous aftershock, but thanks to the government's active response to the disaster, many places seemed to be returning to normal.

At this time, the news was broadcast on the big screen in the downtown area, and the earthquake was located in Tokyo Bay, less than 30 kilometers from the center of Tokyo, and the epicenter was only 7 kilometers deep.

With a magnitude of 9.1, the earthquake occurred near Tokyo, the most densely populated area in Toei.

The earthquake caused the collapse of many buildings around Tokyo, and the initial number of casualties was more than 32,000.

After Ichiro Fujino left the institute, he did not return home, he worked alone in Tokyo, and his family was far away in Hokkaido.

So he usually likes to go for a drink after work, and even if there was a big earthquake before work tonight, he still didn't change this habit.

Fortunately, the buildings in the downtown area were basically undamaged, and some businesses were open as usual, which is the people of Dongying, who are accustomed to earthquakes.

However, tonight's earthquake was so strong that many people were afraid to stay in their houses, and they all poured into the streets or empty squares.

The hardest-hit areas of Tokyo are the suburbs, especially around Tokyo Bay.

On the contrary, business has improved in the downtown area because of the sudden outflow of people.

After Ichiro Fujino finished drinking a little wine, he went out in the cold wind, and suddenly felt a chill on his body, and couldn't help but sneeze a few times.

A group of people happened to walk by, and immediately glared at Fujino Ichiro in disgust, muttering how this person was so unqualified, and several young men wanted to come over to teach Fujino Ichiro how to behave.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you."

Fujino Ichiro hurriedly bowed and apologized to the group, which calmed down the dispute that almost broke out.

Ichiro Fujino shook his body and walked towards the subway station, and inadvertently saw the picture playing on the electronic display screen on the street.

It was a live report of a television station on the rescue underway, on the other side of the city, near Tokyo Bay, where there was a buzz of people busy rescuing people buried under collapsed houses.

Golden 4 hours after the earthquake is the best time to save these people.

Fujino Ichiro himself had just experienced this in the institute, and some colleagues had already been killed, and it was because of these things that he drank more than usual tonight.

Stared at the electronic screen for a while, and was about to move on, but was stunned by the sudden change in the picture.

In the picture, there is a power outage around this side of the rescue site, and only the huge searchlights of the rescue team are providing illumination.

The rescue site is only about 1,000 meters away from Tokyo Bay, and the lights suddenly give a sparkling feeling to the surroundings.

Then someone at the scene exclaimed, "Oh my God, the sea is coming up, there is a tsunami!" ”

The reporters reporting from the front also said loudly to the photographer: "Let's go quickly, this place will be flooded......"

Before the words fell, the camera captured a torrent of floods, and then the camera cut off.

On the street, many pedestrians just stopped to see this scene, and at this time, looking at the electronic screen without the display screen, they all felt worried about those.

Fujino Ichiro's heart trembled, it seems that the casualties of this earthquake are not small.

Unable to help himself, he sneezed again, wrapped his clothes tightly, and ran through the crowd towards a nearby subway station.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the aftershocks kept going.

On the contrary, there are more and more people in the streets, people are talking, the aftershocks tonight seem to be very strong, and the horns of ambulances can be heard from time to time.

In the sky, the occasional roar of helicopters can be heard in the night.

Some street parks are already overcrowded.

A lot of news is spreading among the crowd along the Internet.

"There was a tsunami on the other side of Tokyo Bay, and the sea water poured down for 6 kilometers, and many people didn't have time to escape, so I don't know how many people would die."

"Did you hear that the military blocked the area around the Donghai nuclear power plant, and only allowed people to go out but not enter, is there something wrong with the nuclear power plant?"

"We don't have any fault zones here like we do in California, do we?"

……

Prime Minister's Residence.

"My lord, this is Professor Koji Iwata from the Department of Geology at the University of Tokyo, and he has some special views on this earthquake, and I think it is necessary for him to report back to you directly."

Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhide Mizukawa came to the prime minister with a tall old man with white hair.

The Prime Minister looked at Koji Iwata with a smile on his face and said, "What do you think of Professor Iwata?" I'd love to hear about it. ”

Hiroji Iwata seems to be a person who is obsessed with research work and is not very good at communicating with people, so he did not greet the prime minister, but directly said loudly: "Mr. Prime Minister, our country is facing a catastrophe, and we must immediately evacuate the population!" ”

The Prime Minister's brow furrowed imperceptibly, but he still made an inviting gesture and said, "Professor Iwata, please sit down and explain the reason." ”

As soon as Iwata sat down, he couldn't wait to say, "That's right, I've been tracking the activity between the Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate.

Last year, a national grant was applied for to set up a monitoring network of sensors along the Pacific coastline.

After tonight's earthquake, I found that the entire underground of the Toei Islands had been greatly impacted, and the rock formations in some places were in danger of collapsing. ”

The prime minister immediately said, "Can I see the image of this surveillance network?" I wonder what is the place where the rock formation you are talking about will collapse. ”

Iwata Hongji opened the laptop he was holding in his hand and said, "I'll turn on the computer and show you." ”
