Section 1 Earthquakes

The violent vibration accompanied by a loud noise woke Lin Chuan from his deep sleep, he was confused for a few seconds, suddenly realized what was wrong, opened the door and ran out frantically. The aunt next door was still pressing the elevator, and Lin Chuan shouted: "You can't take the elevator in the earthquake!" So he buried his head and rushed downstairs.

There are a lot of people running in the central square of the community in 66, the time is less than half past six, most people are still sleeping at this time, and most of them are not dressed properly, but there are still not many people like Lin Chuan who only wear a pair of underwear. The expected aftershocks did not live, and the people around him began to laugh at Lin Chuan, and he had to shrink up and squat on the ground, burying his head to prevent others from seeing his face.

The people in the community didn't know each other very well, but after such a mess, some people talked to each other and made a few new friends.

After a few minutes, seeing that there was still no movement, Lin Chuan was the first to run back. Fortunately, he was not so unlucky that the door was not closed, otherwise he would have to go out naked and find someone to pick the lock.

It was a bad day. He said to himself.

After that, he couldn't sleep, and he tossed and turned in bed for an hour before finally having to get up.

Looking out of the window facing the bedroom, a thick black smoke hung in the distant sky, giving people a sense of oppression, he stood on the balcony and smoked a cigarette at the black smoke, turned and walked into the bathroom.

The water stopped, there was no way to wash, he was going to go to the Internet for a while, but now the network is inexplicably broken, and even the mobile Montnets can't be connected, **, **, QQ can't go up. He called 1oooo and 1oo86 several times to ask the reason, but the other party kept busy.

He turned on the TV casually, and the news at eight o'clock had not yet started, so he had to sit back on the bed and smoke while staring at the black smoke in the distance.

The black smoke has been going on for a long time, and Lin Chuan guessed that the accident there must be very serious, maybe it was closer to the epicenter? But without the Internet, this conjecture cannot be confirmed. Lin Chuan, who has long been accustomed to learning about qiē news through the Internet, is restless, but there is nothing he can do in the end.

The location of the black smoke is far away from him, and that direction should be the new industrial park in Jianghai, where it is said that thousands of companies have settled there, and even several Fortune 500 companies have invested and built factories there. He turned on the radio on his phone, which was still the stage for the traffic information program, and the host kept telling everyone that the whole city was blocked, and at the same time pretending to be relaxed and telling bad jokes, without mentioning anything about black smoke.

Lin Chuan listened to the radio for a while and turned it off, calmed down and thought about it, in fact, the affairs of the industrial park did not have much to do with him, he was not a local, and he was not in Jianghai to study, even if it was there, it had nothing to do with him, it would not interfere with his life and would not affect his relatives and friends. In the final analysis, he is just a salesman of an agricultural company who has just entered the industry for two years, and he is far away from home and working hard, helpless, and all his efforts can only be put on how to improve performance, and finally gain a foothold in this city.

After two months of business trips, he decided not to spend too much time at home on the weekend. For him, the most important thing at the moment is to go to his boss on Monday to cash out the bonus, and the most important thing at the moment is to find some water to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then go out to find something to eat.

Because I don't live at home all the time, the kitchen is so clean that I can starve to death, and with the water cut, it's impossible to solve the breakfast problem at home. Fortunately, there was still half a bucket of mineral water left over from two months ago in the water machine, and Lin Chuan felt that this water could not be drunk anyway, so he used it to solve his personal hygiene problem so-so, turned off the TV and went out leisurely.

"Xiaolin, how are you going out?" Uncle Qin, the porter, greeted him warmly.

Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, but muttered in his heart: "I'm not the bald man with no nose." He had always felt that the older doorman was too enthusiastic with everyone, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. But the old man is really serious and responsible, so that no one can pick out the thorns.

Randomly found a soy milk shop to sit down, Lin Chuan couldn't help but call 1oooo and 1oo86 again, still busy, at this time, the chatter at the adjacent table caught his attention.

"I heard that in the morning, Songjiang Petrochemical exploded, killing more than 1,000 people!" The speaker was a housewife who looked to be in his 4o years old, and he was carrying a basket of vegetables in his hand, and it seemed that he had just returned from the vegetable market.

"Lao He, you just blow it." Sitting across from him was Uncle Zhang, a retired teacher who lived downstairs from Lin Chuan's house, who had come out to walk the dog, and the Peking bus dog with a crooked face looked very irritable and kept spinning around at his feet.

"It's such a big earthquake, and I know it's an earthquake." Uncle Zhang said in an expert tone. "More than a thousand people died? You can blow it out. He shook his head dismissively.

"Believe it or not!" Lao He was in a hurry, and his left hand gestured in the air. "When I went to buy vegetables, the turnip seller at the corner of the street told me personally. He entered the city from the direction of the industrial zone in the morning, and it was only a few kilometers away from Songjiang Petrochemical at the time of the explosion! There are dozens of military vehicles that pull corpses! Songjiang Petrochemical was all cordoned off, and there were corpses covered with white cloth all over the ground! ”

"The turnip seller is a mallet! Dare to say anything. Even if there is a military vehicle, what is pulled on the car can he see? It's really going to be blocked, can he see it? Uncle Zhang continued to refute mercilessly. Such a big accident, can it not be broadcast on the radio? ”

Lin Chuan was listening attentively, and the boss brought the things he ordered.

"Boss, you haven't stopped the water here?" He asked casually.

"How can it be, this is all the water that was received before, and there will be no water after the earthquake." The boss replied with some sorrow. "The water company said it was a technical failure, the whole city was stopped, and it said that it didn't know when the water would be available. I haven't washed so many dishes, and I'm going to be out of business in a while. ”

Lao He and Uncle Zhang were still arguing about whether it was an earthquake or a factory explosion, Lin Chuan did not intervene with his own identity, but several people around him joined the discussion. This shop is next to the door of the community, and the few people who came to have breakfast are familiar, as if they have just seen it in the square, so everyone has no scruples about talking. Some people said that when they got off the night shift, they saw dozens of armored vehicles walking along the second ring road to the industrial park, and some people swore that they had relatives living near the industrial park.

Everyone calmed down, but the industrial park was at least a dozen kilometers away from here, and there was no gunfire at all.

Lin Chuan's curiosity was completely aroused, he looked at his mobile phone and still couldn't connect to the Internet, so he simply dialed a call to Zhou Tao, a close friend who worked in the Public Security Bureau. This guy is a second-generation official, his father is a leader in the municipal bureau, and he himself is a bag of inquiries and a big mouth, maybe there will be some news.

"I don't know what's going on, at half past three in the morning, I notified the city's police, auxiliary police, and joint defense to arrive at their posts, but the news was blocked, and no one knew what to do, but they were assigned to various jurisdictions to maintain order. However, the industrial park did send a lot of people, even the garrison and armed police. "For his question, Zhou Tao's answer is also mysterious." Two hundred armored vehicles were dispatched! He finally revealed.

"What kind of plane, that can't be true, right?" Lin Chuan involuntarily lowered his voice under his infection. He is talking about the person who was uploaded on the Internet a while ago, and it is said that the Star-Spangled Banner has been completely defeated by him, but no one knows the details. None of the mainstream media or portals have said anything about it, and the sky is full of gossip from private forums.

"Who knows?" Zhou Tao said. "Don't be foolish, this matter is very tight, and it says that it is to crack down on a group of people who repost indiscriminately on blogs and ** according to the crime of spreading rumors."

"Then you need to be able to access the Internet!" Lin Chuan couldn't help but complain. "Speaking of which, do you have internet access over there?"

"I'll try." Zhou Tao replied, and replied after a while. "No, I can't get on my phone."

"Nima! Mobile telecommunications are all about eating x. Lin Chuan scolded, so far, in addition to running naked, this matter today has made him resentful the most.

"Ziao, you kid, it's like I want your life if I can't get on the net." Zhou Tao scolded with a smile. "Don't talk about it, the leader is here."

Lin Chuan was just about to hang up the phone, when he heard him say again: "Buy more water, I heard that it will take several days to stop the water this time." ”

Lin Chuan hung up the phone and felt a little inexplicable, but he made up his mind and decided to do what Zhou Tao said, after all, this was the only person in the system he knew.

He looked at his neighbors, who were still spitting, and hesitated for a moment, not telling them the news.

But he is obviously not the only one who knows the news, when he called the water station to ask for water, the other party told him that the water he came yesterday had been sold out, and the follow-up water did not know when it would arrive. He panicked and ran to the small market at the corner of the street in a panic.

The boss is obviously also a well-informed person, usually a piece of mineral water of five yuan rose to five yuan, Lin Chuan reasoned with him for a long time, and finally bought two pieces of softness.

"Xiaolin, why do you buy so much water?" When he entered the door, the porter Uncle Qin asked as usual.

"There is no water at home, buy more and put it in the refrigerator to drink slowly." Lin Chuan replied casually.

Carrying two pieces of water up to the fifth floor almost killed him, he closed the door and sat on the cardboard box, only to see that the black smoke was still there, as if it had not changed at all.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little panic in his heart, as if something bad was happening.
