Chapter 33: To save or not to save

Xiang Qian was very sure that the earthquake in his memory was really more than ten o'clock, but now it was only eight o'clock, and the earthquake happened.

What does this mean, it means that the memories in his mind are no longer completely accurate. There may not be any change in the general direction, but not necessarily in the details. And he's not sure if the change will be big until it gets off its original trajectory.

However, this incident also sounded the alarm for Xiang Gan, everything in the future must be arranged in advance, and it is no longer like the day before this earthquake to start strengthening the house, what if the earthquake is not two hours in advance, but a day in advance.

In less than a minute, the earth stopped shaking, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Coin, why is your face so bad, it can't be that you're scared." Zhao Ming patted Xiang Gan's shoulder and said.

Xiang Qian glanced at Zhao Ming angrily, and did not speak. Even if he said that he was not frightened, no one believed him. But being frightened by the earthquake in advance and being frightened by the earthquake are fundamentally different things, but this can't be said yet, so Xiang Qian can only be silent is gold.

Back in the house, the chandelier on the ceiling and the ornaments on the walls had been removed, and the house was not in a mess due to the earthquake. It's just that the restaurant is in a mess, and a lot of the food on the table has fallen to the ground.

"I can't eat it, so let's start anew. Xiao Qian, you go around and see if there are any collapsed houses around, and if there are, help save people. Xiang Gan's father glanced at it, then turned to Xiang Qian and said.

Xiang Qian and the others nodded, but they still left Zhang Lei at home, and in case, Xiang Qian took Zhao Ming and Yang Guang and the four of them to drive away.

"There was an earthquake during the Chinese New Year, but fortunately we were in the countryside, and at this time the city didn't know what the chaos was like, but I don't know if the Zifeng Building had fallen, if it fell, it would be lively." Zhao Ming got into the car, leaned on the seat and said.

"You think that the Zifeng Mansion is muddy, and if you say that it will fall, the epicenter of this earthquake is not in nJ City, and the entire nJ City cannot be said to have no losses, but it is definitely not strict." Xiang Qian said.

"This earthquake reminds me of Wenchuan, when a few of us participated in the rescue, and the whole Wenchuan was in ruins at that time. But at that time, there was still rescue, and now in this weather, not to mention rescue, even if it is a person who escapes, because there is no food and a place to live, he is not waiting for death. Yang Guang, who was in the back seat, said suddenly.

"Brother Yang, don't be so pessimistic, I don't know what happens elsewhere, but the people affected by the disaster in nJ City will definitely not die." Xiang Qian said with certainty that he knew that those refugees would be placed in the subway and live with those who could not live in the vicinity of nJ City.

Soon Xiang Qian and the others drove around the car, and saw several houses with cracks in the walls, and the houses that began to collapse really didn't see them.

"Just now I felt that the ground was moving very much, why didn't any houses collapse, could it be that I felt wrong." After turning around, Zhao Ming said puzzled.

"You still want to think that all the houses around you have collapsed, but this is a rural area, and the houses are basically built by your own family. The materials used are good, the workmanship is also fine, and there is no zài tofu slag project at all. The earthquake that took less than a minute just now wanted to collapse these houses, and the houses in the city had to collapse completely. Xiang Qian had to look at Zhao Ming, in fact, even if his family's house was not reinforced, it would not be a big deal.

"Then according to what you said, the happy new village on the other side of the water plant is not going to suffer, their houses are not built by their own families, they are all demolished and moved over."

“…… Let's go, go over and see, it's really possible that you can be right. Xiang Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around and drove towards Happy New Village.

Xiang Qian's place of residence is next to the water plant, and when the land was requisitioned, his family's house was not within the scope of the land requisition because it was too close to the Yangtze River dam. Xingfu New Village is on the other side of the water plant, and their village was originally the current water plant, but because of the overall planning, they had to move out of there. In the past, Xiang Qian's elders were also members of the village.

As soon as he passed the water plant, Xiang Qian saw that the half-collapsed building, a five-story building that originally had three units, now only one and a half units remained.

After arriving at the scene, Zhao Ming was stunned by the scene in front of him, and Yang Guang and the others also looked stupidly at the people fighting in front of them after getting out of the car.

There was no one to rescue, no one to cry, only a group of people looting supplies from the rubble, and dozens of people were fighting there. As long as someone digs up food from the rubble, even if it is a bag of rice or a piece of bread, it will be snatched.

Such a scene was so terrifying, Zhao Ming and the others didn't react at all, and they couldn't understand why so many people didn't save people.

At this time, only Xiang Qian was alone and looked coldly at the group of people in front of him, he had seen such a scene, and he had seen it even more cruel than this. Originally, he thought that if someone here organized a rescue, he would help, provide some food for those who came out, and then send them to the city.

But now it seems that there is no need, there are such people all around, and what will the people buried under the rubble look like, just think about it.

"Get in the car, let's go." Xiang Qian looked at the stunned few people and said coldly.

“…… Don't save people? Zhao Ming said stupidly, he hadn't reacted at this time.

"Things gather by like, and people are grouped. The people who survived are like this, what can the people buried under the rubble be, they are all from the same village, it is impossible not to have relatives, but what kind of scene did you just have, do you need to say more? After Xiang Qian finished speaking, he got into the car. Zhao Ming and the four of them were stunned for a moment before they reacted and followed into the car.

After they got into the car, Xiang Qian did not hesitate and turned around and left.

On the way home, the atmosphere in the car was very dull, even Zhao Ming lowered his head and did not speak. Just sat quietly on the chair and sat down at home without saying a word.

After getting out of the car, Xiang Qian didn't say anything to them, and many things needed to be adapted to by themselves. Since they are living a good life now, they don't know what it's like outside, and with this experience, I think they will cherish the life in front of them even more.

"Son, what's the matter, what's wrong with you. I saw that Zhao Ming went in just now, why did he feel a little lost and depressed, isn't it ......" Xiang Gan's father pulled Xiang Qian and said.

"Dad, it's nothing, it's just that the scene they saw this time is a little scary, and they are not suitable." Xiang Qian casually said a few perfunctory words, then turned around and left. He knew that the scene he had just seen would definitely be told by Zhao Ming, and he didn't need to bother to say anything at all.

As a result, when eating at noon, many people were absent-minded.

Xiang Qian knew what was going on at a glance, but he didn't speak, nor did he enlighten everyone, and after eating, he returned to the studio to continue working on exoskeleton power armor.

"Coin, how many people do you say will die in this earthquake, and will there be such disasters in the future?" In the afternoon, Zhao Ming ran to the studio and said to Xiang Qian.

"It should be, I don't know exactly how many people will die, anyway, I know that as long as the end of the world is not over, disaster will accompany us." Xiang Qian glanced at Zhao Ming and said lightly.

"Then you strengthened the house before, did you know that there would be an earthquake, why don't you spread the news, I know that if you want to spread this news, there will definitely be a way." Zhao Ming looked at Xiang Qian sternly.

"Do you think I'm the only one who knows? The state does not know, or no one in the country knows. Why didn't any news come out before the earthquake, you know? Xiang Qian stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhao Ming calmly.

"I only know that a lot of people died, and if I had known the news in advance, I wouldn't have died so many people." Zhao Ming said stubbornly.

"Maybe, but if this news had come out of my mouth, there would have been some of us among those who died now. Now that you sue me, you know the news, will you sue others? Xiang Qian continued to say calmly, not excited at all.

“…… I...... But ......" Zhao Ming held back for a long time, and didn't say a word.

"Okay, let's go back and think about it. Some people deserve to be saved, but some people are not. But no matter whether those people are worth saving or not, before you save people, you must think about what the consequences will be after saving people. I also want to save people, and if I could, I would like not to die a single person. But unfortunately, I don't have the ability now, and when I do, I'll do it. Xiang Qian got up and patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder.

“…… I see, numismatic...... Yes......"

"Okay, go back to sleep, don't think about it so much."

After Zhao Ming left, Xiang Qian shook his head and continued to work.
