Chapter 306: Surviving the Tsunami
According to later statistics, three-fifths of the houses collapsed in Jugang this time, because it was morning, and some people had not yet gotten up and were directly buried by the collapsed houses.
The people on the seashore did not have time to come to the rescue, and fled to the high ground in panic, as they had done after any previous earthquake.
In addition to these two cities, there is also the northern part of the country, which is 480 kilometers from Patong district, and the capital of Malaysia, Kelong Po, also felt a strong earthquake and caused the collapse of some houses and buildings.
In the capital Yajiada, which is 930 kilometers away in the southeast, although it is far away, it still felt the tremor, and some billboards on the street were shaken down.
At the same time, the seismic networks of various countries released the news of the Sumatra Wax Island earthquake, and the reported magnitude was 10!
This has exceeded the magnitude of the earthquake in the Dongying Islands, and it is also an earthquake magnitude that has never been given on the Blue Star.
Some people say that this will only appear in the end of the world, or in science fiction movies, and once it appears, it will be the destruction of mankind.
So, just a few minutes later, the seismic networks revised the magnitude to 9.5, the same magnitude as the intellectual earthquake of the sixties.
Minutes after the quake, tsunami warnings were sounded, and people in coastal areas fled to higher ground.
Here, there is the famous tourist destination of Bali, where many people have just passed the nuclear war alarm and feel that life is too short and need to have fun in time.
There was more people than ever in the peak season, as it was more than 1,800 kilometers away from Patong County, the epicenter, and people did not feel the tremors.
So when the tsunami warning sounded, people here didn't move to higher ground in the first place.
What's more, there are many tourists who don't get up and miss listening to the tsunami warnings.
Among them, there is a well-known actress Han Bing in the East, who came here to shoot with a reality show crew.
The filming went too late last night, and the crew thoughtfully asked everyone to start today's filming in the afternoon, so many people got up late this morning.
When Han Bing habitually turned on the TV, he heard the news broadcast that a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale in Sumatra could trigger a tsunami, and all the people on the beach should leave as soon as possible and go to higher places.
She was startled when there was a sharp knock on the door.
Han Bing hurriedly went over and opened the door, and saw the assistant and the crew director standing at the door, and the director hurriedly said: "There may be a tsunami, let's get out of here immediately!" ”
The assistant had already rushed into the room to help pack things.
The director shouted: "It's too late, don't take anything, let's go." ”
Han Bing also said decisively: "Go, don't clean up." ”
She didn't even change her pajamas, wrapped herself in a coat, and ran out with the director, when the corridor was full of people, and there were people pulling suitcases.
Some of the crew were greeted by the producer, and ran down the stairs without taking the elevator.
It is a seven-storey beachfront hotel, just over 30 meters from the sea, and if a tsunami comes, it will definitely not be spared.
When the people ran downstairs and went out to the door, they saw the doorman rushing in in horror and then closing the glass door.
He shouted, "The tsunami is coming, don't go out." ”
As soon as the crew producer saw it, he immediately shouted: "Quick, let's go to the top floor!" ”
The group turned around and ran upstairs again, and at this time they heard a strange whistling sound, but they didn't bother to look at it at all, and just wanted to rush up to the seventh floor in time.
Of course, they also prayed in their hearts that the tsunami would not break down the seven-story building, or everyone would be doomed.
What happened this year, and how did natural disasters happen one after another?
Could it be that the end of the world is really coming?
When people ran back to the seventh floor, they found that it was already overcrowded, some screaming in horror and some crying hysterically.
Han Bing rushed to a room by the sea and looked out through the window.
The scene in front of her suddenly made a desperate expression on her face.
In the distance, a huge wall of waves is pressing towards the beach like a mountain.
The wall was 30 meters high, which was 25 meters high when it was 25 meters high.
Unlike the tsunami that hit the eastern coast of the mainland during the landfall of the Dongying Islands, it spread for hundreds of kilometers and was resisted by the continental shelf.
This tsunami, with its epicenter near the sea, caused several earthquakes of magnitude seven or eight on the seabed, resulting in a tsunami.
This power was not weakened by anything at all, and naturally rushed directly to the shore.
Han Bing knew that whether he could survive or not could only depend on the sturdiness of this building.
She withdrew from this room, and the assistant followed her closely, "Sister Bing, what should we do?" ”
"Find something that floats, hide in the room on this side of the sea, open the window, and if the building can't stand it and collapse, let's jump out of the window with the float."
"Huh? So high, isn't it a fall to death? The assistant felt that Han Bing must have been scared silly.
Han Bing searched for a long time, found a table, and immediately said, "Come, let's move the table to the window, let's hide under the table." ”
The two of them moved the table to the window and opened it again, and many people ran to the room on the other side of the corridor, and everyone was worried that the big wave was coming, and the room by the sea would not be spared.
"Sister Bing, why are we hiding here, you haven't said why you want to jump out."
It's the sound of the waves that is already loud.
Han Bing showed a resolute expression on his face and said, "The big waves rushed in, if this building is destroyed, you say the building will fall down to that side?" ”
The assistant thought for a moment, then sighed, pointed to the room across the corridor and said, "Pour over there!" ”
"When we fall, are we here just above, and if we jump out of the window, will we be able to float to the surface of the water instead of underwater?"
"Sister Bing, you're so smart." The assistant's eyes are full of little stars.
"I don't know if we can escape, but the two of us will work together and hold on to the table, maybe we can escape. Of course, it's fate if you can't escape. ”
"Sister Bing, I listen to you. I'm not afraid to be with you. ”
The two of them didn't say a word before they felt a myriad of things crash into the room, and then the sea water quickly rushed into the room.
Just when the two of them were glad that the building did not collapse, they rushed to the building and began to tilt after a while.
"Sister Bing, the building is really going to collapse! We're sliding over there! ”
"Don't talk, hold the table!"
Han Bing had just finished roaring, and a bigger wave rushed in, and just as the two of them were about to fall to the other end of the room with the table, they were suddenly lifted up by the sea.
Han Bing and the two hugged the table tightly, and the table suddenly floated out of the window under the buoyancy of the seawater.
At the moment, the surrounding area is full of turbid water, all kinds of debris floating, and even coconut trees that have been washed down by the sea.
The table was big enough to provide enough buoyancy to support two people, but from time to time something in the water crashed into it.
The danger is not far away, and if something hits them in the head, it is fatal.
Han Bing struggled to raise his head from the water and saw that the sea was still rushing inland.
However, the strength has already weakened, as long as the two of them are not injured by things along the way, they may have escaped this catastrophe.
Suddenly, the assistant screamed and let go of the table.
"Sister Bing, save me!"
Han Bing noticed that there was a stream of blood floating through the water, she swam hard, reached out and grabbed it, feeling as if she had caught something.
Then she dragged back with all her might, and in the midst of the floating load, she saw clearly that she had caught one of the assistant's feet.
She was suddenly ecstatic in her heart, holding a table leg with one hand, and holding the assistant's foot with the other, at this time she couldn't move further, pulling the assistant back to the table, she could only drag it like this, hoping to wait until the sea water was further eased, and then pull the assistant over.
It seemed like a long time, but only a few minutes had passed.
After the sea water eased further, the table that Han Bing was holding hit a place and got stuck, and she immediately struggled to pull the assistant back.
When the assistant's head resurfaced, Han Bing only felt a chill in his heart
