Just when Poplar thought that the purple mist could kill people, a rumbling sound began to be heard outside, from far and near, like rolling thunder, shaking everything in the house trembling slightly.

"Aftershocks?" Although Bai Yang was a little panicked, he was not too worried, the earthquake just now did not cause any damage, and he thought that the aftershocks should be fine.

Poplar comforted himself as he looked out the window, the purple fog had reduced visibility a lot, and in a hazy way, Poplar seemed to see a white wall-like thing rushing towards the street not far away, almost all movable objects in the street were swallowed up by it, the tables and chairs of the food stalls, the parked vehicles lined up on the side of the road, and even the pedestrians fleeing in a hurry in front.

"That's ...... Tsunami? The poplar who reacted was suddenly frightened, and the next moment he couldn't care if the purple mist was harmful to people, in fact, he had forgotten about it, and opened the door as if he was flying, and rushed upstairs in three steps and steps, until he went to the roof of the 7th floor, and then moved his trembling legs to the edge of the roof, observing the scene below.

The tsunami wall, which is about two meters high, quickly swept through the downstairs, destroying everything that is low and visible, but fortunately, the unit building where Poplar is located is not a lonely building, it is a terraced house connected by 6 unit buildings, and the resistance is relatively much stronger.

In this way, Poplar sat on the damp rooftop, trembling at the slight vibration brought by the impact of the waves.

During this period, many people rushed up to avoid the tsunami, and the panicked people seemed to have not recovered from this series of blows, one by one, as if they had lost their souls, and did not say a word, and some were just women crying with fear, but they were also heard in the sound of the waves brought by the sea water wading under the building.

Poplar lit a cigarette, and now the only consolation is that the mobile phone and the cigarette are there, and the man naturally has a sense of security with these two things, but the mobile phone has no signal, and he can't contact the outside world for the time being.

Poplar wanted to look into the distance several times, but the purple mist blocked most of the view, and there was no sunlight in the sky and earth at this time, and maybe there would be no sunlight for a long time in the future.

After smoking a cigarette and calming down a bit, Poplar began to reflect on everything he had experienced in this short period of time.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, purple fog, the first two have been experienced, only this purple fog doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment, and there is no discomfort in the body, but he can't control it anyway, so let it be fate.

"Dude, can you borrow a cigarette?"

Just as Poplar continued to sigh that the experience of this little half day was like a dream, a slightly tired male voice sounded next to him.

Bai Yang looked sideways, and through the purple mist, he could vaguely see that it was a young man wearing gold wire glasses, thin and depressed, and it seemed that he was estimated to be one or two years younger than himself.

It seems that I haven't seen it in this unit building before, I think I just moved here not long ago or just came up to take refuge, Poplar thought so, then opened the cigarette case and handed it to the man.

"Thank you."

"Hit... Lighter. The guy stammered a little.

"Thank you." The young man lit a cigarette and thanked him again.

Poplar watched him smoke with interest, and immediately spit it out after taking a puff, but it didn't enter his lungs.

"Can't smoke?"

"No... No, first time playing this. The guy smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry to waste a cigarette, I think this thing should come in handy." He then explained, then covered his right hand, which was still trembling slightly.

"It's okay, it's not enough here." Poplar shook the cigarette in his hand and smiled faintly.

"I've never seen you before." Poplar continued.

"I changed jobs, just moved in, and live on the first floor."

"My name is Poplar."

"Brother Bai is good, my name is Yu Lei, just call me Xiao Lei."

Poplar nodded, not polite, and continued to ask, "What kind of business?" ”

"Programmer." Yu Lei scratched his head and said.

"Yes, the future is bright."

"Where, it's just a mouthful of food."

"Humble." Poplar said with a faint smile.

After that, neither of them spoke again, and the current situation really made people lose their minds.

Bai Yang took a deep breath, calmed down the ups and downs of the past half a day, and then said to Yu Lei, who was stunned next to him: "What do you think about this?" ”

"Hmm... What? Yu Lei came back to his senses, realized that Poplar was asking him, and said after a moment of silence: "It seems that there was an earthquake in many coastal areas, and then the tsunami was triggered, and this purple fog." After Yu Lei finished speaking, he tried to flick the purple mist in front of him with his hand, but it was only in vain.

"And you see, the fog doesn't seem to be in the shape of a liquid, and it doesn't look like a solid particle like haze." Yu Lei touched the back of his hand again, but did not find the slightest trace of dampness or powder.

Bai Yang nodded approvingly, and when Yu Lei said this, he also discovered this.

"Then it's probably gas, like chlorine?" Poplar asked.

"Quite possibly."

"There's another important point." Without waiting for Poplar to speak, Yu Lei pushed his glasses and continued to say seriously, which was very different from his previous shyness.

"It's just that so many places in the world have earthquakes almost at the same time, and there are no signs and warnings, which is very strange."

Bai Yang also thought about it carefully, and there really didn't seem to be any warning news in the news before, and some were just afterthoughts. I don't know what the situation is now, especially where Baiyang's hometown is located, and what is the safety of his parents. Fortunately, they are located more inland and should not be affected by the tsunami.

Retracting his thoughts, Bai Yang couldn't help but admire, looked at Yu Lei and said, "The analysis is very reasonable, Brother Lei." ”

Yu Lei was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, and returned to his shy appearance, which was the same as before.

"Damn, I won't have a split personality." Bai Yang said secretly, it's not easy to say it, but he has already defined Yu Lei's character in his heart, and he is definitely a talent.

"Brother Bai, what do you say we should do now?" At this time, the shy Yu Lei looked a little helpless, and he no longer had the confidence he had when he analyzed the problem before.

The tsunami came too fast, it is estimated that most people have not yet reacted, and the affected area should not be small, I don't know if the official has enough manpower and material resources to rescue, if it really can't work, then there will be only self-help.

"It's okay, we can go downstairs and go home to prepare some rations later, my house is on the 4th floor, and it can't be flooded there, so we just wait for rescue."

Although I thought that if people don't save me, I will save myself, but the poplar on my mouth still comforts Yu Lei, and I have the meaning of brother, I cover you.

Yu Lei was also moved, and hurriedly nodded in thanks.

"When is this a leader...... Finally someone couldn't help it anymore and began to hiss and complain, and it caused a chain reaction, mixed with the cries of women and children coming from all around.

Poplar shook his head helplessly, then got up and walked to the rooftop to observe the situation, and it took 10 minutes to watch. Yu Lei also approached curiously and asked, "Brother Bai, what are you looking at?" ”

Poplar turned around and asked, "Do you know how often tsunami crests come?" ”

"Do you mean the interval, I used to see reports and related science popularization during the tsunami in Japan, and if it was a few minutes, it would be a dozen or dozens of minutes." Yu Lei recalled.

Poplar looked at his phone and said, "I haven't been here for at least 10 minutes." ”

Yu Lei understood what Poplar meant, and then sat next to Poplar and began to observe.

The two chatted while watching, and they also talked about Yu Lei once interviewed a company, because he was disgusted by personnel and was too young to graduate, subjectively judged that he had no work experience, and then he used his computer to hack the company in front of him for 38 seconds, no more than a second, no more than a second, no less, and the angry female recruiter's face was green.

In the end, no one dared to ask him, just ask who would dare to put such a time bomb in the company. So since then, Yu Lei has learned to keep a low profile, and Poplar should now be one of the very few people in the world who knows Yu Lei's secret, so he is even more impressed by Yu Lei.

When the two chatted about speculation, they talked and laughed from time to time, which provoked other people to look at them like fools, but it also eased a lot of the atmosphere of your sorrow and my sorrow before.

More than 20 minutes passed, during which time there were repeated attempts to make a call, but in vain; There are also people who put something on the rooftop to ask for SOS, but it doesn't work at all in such visibility, and no one dares to take off for rescue except drones.

Poplar looked at his phone, estimating that the time should be almost up, so he stood up and looked at the others on the rooftop, cleared his throat and shouted, "Everyone, listen to me." ”

Everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes, thinking that this fool was going to do something.

After everyone's attention shifted to him, Bai Yang told his and Yu Lei's speculations, and then continued: "I know that everyone may be worried that this building will not be able to withstand the impact of the tsunami, but since the aftermath of the tsunami has passed, let's go home now and get some supplies, continue to wait here for rescue, and it is best to bring the things used overnight, maybe we will have to live here tonight." ”

However, after Poplar finished speaking, everyone did not act immediately, and still hesitated slightly. In case this building really can't stand it, they can still jump underwater on the roof, maybe they can survive, it's better than being crushed to death in the building.

Seeing this, Bai Yang and Yu Lei also looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, and then had to go downstairs first.

As soon as they left, naturally some people followed each other home to get supplies, but there were still many people who stayed here to take a look at the situation.

There are those who drag their families with them, and it is wise to leave the old and weak women and children on it, and the men go down to get things, and then in case of misfortune, they can also keep some hope.

More than 10 minutes later, Bai Yang and Yu Lei went to the rooftop again, which also attracted the attention of others.

The two of them each hugged a bedding, as well as some rations and water, and even a power bank, a toothbrush and toothpaste. In the words of Poplar, even if the mobile phone has no signal, it can't run out of power, and it's good to be a flashlight; As for toothpaste and toothbrushes, he is a person who can't sleep without brushing his teeth all night.

However, when Bai Yang finally took out a deck of playing cards from his pocket, everyone's eyes could no longer be calm, and even Yu Lei's face was filled with a trace of embarrassment.

He vaguely remembered what Poplar had told him when he was holding a poker card just now, "In case you can't live, you can use your brain before you die, so you won't be a fool." ”

Admiration, Yu Lei thought so in his heart at the time, that was really admiration.

Time passed slowly, and the people who were still watching before had already gone home to get supplies, and the atmosphere was much lighter than before.

Everyone began to calm down, because the only way was to wait for rescue, which was their last hope.

Poplar looked at the time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and thought to himself that there must be no possibility of being rescued today.

"It's better to rest early, take care of your spirits, and find a way tomorrow." He said to Yu Lei.

Yu Lei also put down the playing cards in his hand, yawned, and nodded a little boringly.

When Poplar asked him to play cards together, he still wondered how to play, even if he fought the landlord, there were still few people, and no one else had this Yaxing with them. Just when Yu Lei was curious about how to play with his brain, Bai Yang smiled and said: "Two people can also have to play, come, let's compare the size." Yu Lei almost fell from the rooftop at that time.

The two of them casually cleaned up and got into the half-matted and half-covered quilt, glanced enviously at the candle-lit tents of other people's houses, and then fell asleep.
