Chapter 270: Pandora's Box

On August 20, 2022, ten days after Wonder Tech announced that there could be a landsink disaster in Central America.

The extension of the fault zone to Mexico and eventually to Central America does not appear to have happened.

Although there have been many earthquakes in the waters near Central America, none of them have a magnitude of more than 6, and even the tsunamis that have caused them have not harmed the Central American countries that have been prepared for a long time.

For a time, the people of Central America were quiet, and those who had planned to flee returned to their hometowns.

Only a few of them are still looking outside the country for the time being, after all, earthquakes happen too often, which is a bit unsteady.

In fact, not only the people of Central American countries are not sure, but also the people of Dongying are beginning to be unsure.

"Taro, this is the 12th time today, right? Earthquakes are happening more and more frequently lately, so nothing serious, right? ”

On the outskirts of Tokyo, in a private house.

Michiko picked up a coat rack that had fallen to the ground and asked her husband.

Taro Kagawa is a policeman, and he has his own calm psychological quality, and besides, Dongying Country was originally an earthquake-prone area, and there are earthquakes all year round, but they are all small earthquakes of magnitude 2 or 3.

Now it's only a little more frequent, and the number of earthquakes in a day is a bit more.

I remember a few days ago, it was the same as before, and now it is more and more frequent every day.

"Don't worry, our house is sturdy and can withstand a big earthquake of magnitude 7 or more......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent tremor came, this time more powerful than any earthquake he had ever experienced in his life, and it lasted for 28 seconds.

Taro Kagawa immediately pulled his wife Michiko down in the corner of the house, hugged her head and squatted down, and moved the table over.

All kinds of items in the house were not fixed, and during this time, they were all shaken and fell to the ground.

Immediately after that, Taro Kawakawa heard a loud noise, and he noticed that the sound was coming from the direction of the bathroom, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Could it be that the house has collapsed?

Fortunately, at this time, the earthquake stopped.

"Quick, Michiko, let's get out of here and go outside."

The two of them didn't care about anything, got up and rushed to the door, only to find that the door was deformed and couldn't be opened.

This frightened the two even more, which meant that the house had been deformed.

Without thinking about what to think, Taro Kawakawa flew up and kicked at the door, but he couldn't do it for a while, and kicked a few more times.

Finally, the door was kicked open, and the two of them rushed out.

Almost as soon as he rushed out of the house, he heard a squeak behind him, and then there was a loud bang, and the whole house collapsed!

Taro Kawakawa looked at the collapsed house with a shocked face, and then at his wife, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Taro Kawakawa and his wife were lucky enough to save their lives, but their next-door neighbors and people in many parts of Tokyo were not so lucky.

No one expected that the house, which had always been able to withstand a magnitude 7 and 8 earthquake, would completely collapse under the last 28-second strong earthquake in the midst of frequent shaking.

Because the earthquake occurred at ** o'clock in the evening, many families were still having dinner, after all, it was the norm for Dongying people to work overtime.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, the gas in some people's stoves was turned off, and then a gas explosion occurred, and secondary disasters occurred, making the relief efforts of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government even worse.

Fortunately, this era was different from the Great Kanto Earthquake of that year, when the country was basically made of wood, and it was also a meal time, and no one put out the fire in time after it started, and it eventually became a sea of fire.

At that time, many people did not die in the earthquake, but fell into the fire.

The Prime Minister's Office of the Eastern Ying Kingdom.

"Suzuki-kun, what's going on outside?"

Masao Suzuki, an attendant to the Prime Minister's Office, replied, "My lord, there is no news yet, but I have already informed Mr. Mizukawa and Mr. Kawada, and they will come over soon." ”

"Okay, I hope God bless me."

The Prime Minister is well aware that the earthquake has lasted for a long time, more than any previous one, and such a long-lasting earthquake must be very destructive.

Even though Toei is a country that has a lot of experience in dealing with earthquakes, some buildings are not able to withstand such shaking.

Now he is most worried about the damage to the Tokai nuclear power plant, which was restarted a few years ago, 120 kilometers from Tokyo.

If it were to be the case with the Ukishima nuclear power plant last time, Tokyo would be in trouble.

The Prime Minister was thinking about it when the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhide Mizukawa and Defense Minister Takeo Kawada came together before entering the door, and Kazuhide Mizukawa had already said urgently: "My lord, please leave here immediately and transfer to the command center, it is too unsafe here." ”

The prime minister glanced at the two of them indifferently and said: "The earthquake just now did not collapse here, which means that this place is very safe, and now the people of the whole country need me here."

Mizukawa-kun, please find out the current damage as soon as possible, especially in the East China Sea. ”

Mizukawa Kazuhide was stunned suddenly, and suddenly understood.

"My lord, I'll arrange for someone to go to Yamamoto-kun of the power company."

Seeing Mizukawa Kazuhide go to the side to make a phone call, the prime minister looked at Kawada Takeo, "Kawada-kun, immediately mobilize the Self-Defense Forces to block the 50-kilometer area around the East China Sea."

No one is allowed to enter it until they have received any definite information. In addition, a part of the Self-Defense Forces will be dispatched to Tokyo to maintain order and provide assistance to the victims. ”

"Hey, my subordinates obey."

As the Toei government began emergency relief mode, a building on the outskirts of Tokyo collapsed in the earthquake at night.

There are a lot of people digging around with various tools, and it should be a crowd of people who have run out of the building, trying to save the people who didn't run out inside.

At this time, with the efforts of everyone, one person was rescued.

The man was still a little conscious, and when he saw someone in the crowd, he immediately shouted, "Sano-kun—"

Masao Sano stepped forward a few steps, held the man's hand and said, "Dr. Shimizu, your injuries are very serious, don't speak, the ambulance will come soon." ”

"I'm in trouble...... And you say that you ...... Close to some ......"

Masao Sano looked at the man in surprise and leaned his ear close to him.

"I wanted to snatch the No. 3 can out, but unfortunately it ......"

"When has it been, you are still working ......so hard" Masao Sano shook his head and comforted, suddenly stunned, and asked, "Well, you are talking about the No. 3 can?" ”

"Yes, that's me...... These two years of hard work, I ...... Reluctant...... Pity...... Ahem......"

Dr. Shimizu coughed violently, and some bloody droplets flew out and landed on Masao Sano's body.

Seeing that Dr. Shimizu's injuries were serious, Masao Sano couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked, "What is a pity?" How's the No. 3 can? ”

It's a pity that after Dr. Shimizu coughed violently, he tilted his head and lost his breath.

Only then did Masao Sano realize that Dr. Shimizu's chest clothes were also soaked with blood.

Obviously, there is a good chance that Dr. Shimizu will have his ribs crushed by a heavy object, and the broken bone will pierce his lungs or heart.

Tank 3 contains the top-secret results of the institute, which Dr. Shimizu presided over the research, which is the product of some genetic modifications based on the virus of the global pandemic two years ago.

This Dr. Shimizu really has nothing to do, and the No. 3 tank is usually placed in a tightly guarded safe, so even if the earthquake collapses, it will not be damaged.

But this Dr. Shimizu actually wanted to snatch it out, but before he could run out, he was crushed by the collapsed house.

Now he was rescued, but he died of his injuries, the key is where is the No. 3 can that he took out of the safe?

Masao Sano felt around Dr. Shimizu's pockets, but there was no No. 3 jar the size of a thermos cup.

Immediately said to a person on the side: "Fujino-kun, you go to the place where Dr. Shimizu just dug up, and look for a jar the size of a thermos cup." ”

Fujino shook his head and said, "Don't look for it, that place just pulled the doctor out, and it collapsed." ”

"Oh, a cave-in? That's good, that's good. ”

At this time, the ambulance came, but Dr. Shimizu was unlucky, and his body was carried aside, where there were already many victims.

These corpses will be taken away at that time.
