Chapter 21: The Earthquake (Part I)

Along the way, although it was the first time to take an airplane as a human means of transportation, he had nothing to worry about. On the contrary, after he got off the plane, there was a faint trace of anxiety in his heart.

This kind of emotion has never appeared before, unless, Xue Yunchu is self-analyzing, reasoning according to normal logic, this time it is just an ordinary international event, and he has no opponent, let alone the ability to predict, how can this kind of emotion appear.

Team leader Zhang of the national team has many experience in leading the team, and when he saw a student looking around, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although this is not our country, just play as usual, my country's mathematics Olympiad results have always been first-class." ”

Xue Yunchu knew the other party's kindness and nodded, but the anxiety in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Team Leader Zhang has high hopes for all of them, thinking that they can all have the strength to win the gold medal, at least three people will definitely be able to win the gold medal, according to the usual results, this student just now belongs to one of them, naturally he can't let them have any emotional fluctuations. And unlike the other students, he did not go through special Olympiad training, but was selected in the National Olympiad, while the other five were all enrolled in a special Olympiad training class from elementary school.

The organizer will take them to a pre-booked hotel. Several students who were more curious about the scenery of this place went out for a walk under the guidance of the teacher, but Xue Yunchu did not go with them, staying in his room to think about the problem he had just encountered.

The National Olympic Games have to take the exam for many days, with 3 questions and 4 hours a day, which tests the physical and psychological quality of students.

Despite his uneasiness, Xue Yunchu quietly finished the question every day. It wasn't until the last day that things changed. Just half an hour after the start of the exam, he felt the urge to flee from this place, which made him really panic for the first time since he came to this planet.

If it is not at the most critical time, this kind of alarm will not be generated in the body. Without further hesitation, he activated the sensory system, which was still being repaired.

As soon as the system was activated, he understood what was going on. In just a few minutes of scanning, the underground rock formations in this area shook dozens of times.

If it is just a normal tremor, the problem is that the analysis results show that there is a huge epicenter nearby, and according to the seismic waves coming in, there will be a concentrated eruption of the epicenter in 10 minutes at the latest.

Without hesitation, Xue Yunchu didn't look at the unfinished scroll and walked out of the classroom.

The students in the examination room were surprised to see a Chinese student stand up suddenly, followed by a rush of footsteps.

Team Leader Zhang, who was waiting outside, was surprised to see one of his students come out so early. hurriedly went up and wanted to ask, but the other party bypassed him and ran directly downstairs.

Xue Yunchu didn't take the elevator because there would be a problem with that. Fortunately, the floor where they took the exam was not high, only 4 floors, and he went downstairs in a few minutes.

Team leader Zhang was worried that something was wrong with his students, so he quickly followed.

Coming to the open area that the buildings on all sides could not take into account, Xue Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the fact that his residual sensory system in the past could still work, it was difficult to say whether he could escape this time.

"Classmate Xue, why did you come out?" Team Leader Zhang panted and followed.

Xue Yunchu saw that Team Leader Zhang, who had taken good care of him during the training camp, came over, and didn't want the other party to enter a dangerous place again, so he changed his mind and said to himself, "Japan is a country where the sanitary conditions are too good."

"What?" Team Leader Zhang didn't understand what the other party meant, but what happened next interrupted his thinking.

A powerful wave came from under his feet, and the unsuspecting Team Leader Zhang fell to the ground, and the powerful impact made him faint directly.

This is just the beginning, Xue Yunchu looked at Team Leader Zhang who fainted at his feet, it was good to pass out, at least he didn't have to face this tragic scene in the future.

Screams in various languages came from the building, and the situation suddenly became chaotic, and many people rushed out of the building.

Skyscrapers, overpasses, and ordinary houses have all escaped the power of nature. The collapsed building smashed power lines and started a fire.

The city of Okazaki, which was known as safe, is now in the midst of a disaster.

After the first earthquake passed, the city of Okazaki was transformed beyond recognition, and the former tourist attractions and high-tech parks were all scorched. Countless homes were set on fire. All kinds of sounds are mixed in,

However, Japan is a country with frequent earthquakes, and it is obvious that the experience and measures are quite experienced, and after the first earthquake, Xue Yunchu heard the sound of fire trucks and ambulances in the distance, looking for the survivors to prevent the fire from spreading.

As the first time since he became conscious, he personally felt the huge deaths and injuries caused by natural disasters, Xue Yunchu couldn't help but sigh that life was fragile, just ordinary crustal changes, and countless precious life consciousnesses turned into dust.

Xue Yunchu's perception system was still on, not only monitoring the future direction of the earthquake, but also transmitting back the scenes of wailing and struggling.

Sensing that there would be aftershocks, he didn't move around, waiting for help to arrive.

Not long after, Team Leader Zhang woke up and was shocked to find that the surrounding landscape had changed drastically, "What's the matter?" He asked in alarm.

Isn't it obvious that Xue Yunchu looked down on this adult a little, although this kind of scene must be the first time for the other party.

"An earthquake," he said blandly, "but we were lucky not to be affected." ”

"Other students?" Team Leader Zhang asked anxiously, and looked at the building where the students were taking exams, but the room that was torn apart and collapsed everywhere made him feel cold instantly.

"It's not going to be too good, but I didn't see a few people running out of that building" Xue Yunchu said calmly, pointing to the group of people gathered over there, who had just come out of the building and were embarrassed. The place where Xue Yunchu was was already nearly a hundred meters away from the building, and no one had come here for a while.

Team Leader Zhang hurriedly ran over, and didn't even hear Xue Yunchu's words of reminder from behind.

"Fang Ming, how are the other students?" Team Leader Zhang found a student covered in dust and several abrasions on his body, and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, I approached the door, and when I found out about the earthquake, I rushed out," Fang Ming said in horror, obviously not yet able to get out of the fright just now.

Speaking of Fang Ming's luck, it is very dangerous to rush directly outside during the earthquake, and it is too late in time to be on a high-rise building, not to mention that it may be hit by a collapsed building.

"No, I have to go in and find them" Team Leader Zhang looked at the crumbling building and tried to rescue his students.

As he spoke, the anxious team leader Zhang was about to enter the building.

At this time, a middle-aged man stopped him, "No, there are likely to be aftershocks now, and it is very dangerous for you to go in and save people now."

The other party's Chinese is not very standard, and he is also a team leader's teacher.

"Then what to do, when the rescue team comes, those students don't know if they can hold on," Team Leader Zhang said urgently.

The middle-aged man said helplessly, "There is no way, we can only wait for now." ”

"No, they won't be able to hold out at that time," Team Leader Zhang said and wanted to rush inside, but was held tightly by a strong hand.

It turned out that Xue Yunchu came over and shook his head, "Teacher, calm down, you can't get in at all, and the passage inside must be blocked." And the aftershocks don't know when they will come. ”

Team Leader Zhang was shocked, slowly squatted down, hugged his head and cried. Can he not cry, the seven people who came are now out of danger with him and two students, and the fate of the other four is uncertain, how to explain to their parents when they go back? These students, who won glory for the country, fell silently under the disaster of a foreign country.

It took eight hours for the rescue team to arrive. During this period, there were several aftershocks, which proved the middle-aged man's statement right, and also added a lot of scars to the shattered building.

When the rescue work began, it became clear that the work here was very complicated. The people buried under the sand and steel bars had to be pulled out one by one, and even with the help of cranes and various tools, the progress was very slow to avoid accidental injury.

By the time the survivors were rescued, it was already late at night. Team Leader Zhang was very sad to find that except for Xue Yunchu and Fang Ming, the other four people were all buried in the building, and they were all hit by fallen pillars or walls in panic.

In the makeshift tent, these survivors and the organizers huddled together, some were crying silently, some were expressionless, and some were in pain.
