Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Earth Dragon Turns Over
Jakarta, the largest city in Southeast Asia and the first in Indonesia, has a population of up to 10 million, and it is also an important seaport city, with a large financial sector.
When Yuta came with Oz and Rokuka shuttling through the unstable space, the picture reflected in his eyes was not a prosperous scene, but a disaster hell.
The tsunami caused by the earthquake washed through the city, leaving a large amount of seawater on the ground, and Yuta was soaked in water as soon as he stepped out of the space passage.
The salty smell of the ocean harassed his nostrils, and Yuta stared blankly at everything in front of him.
Buildings have fallen slopingly, some roads are bulging high, car accidents are commonplace, and soaked corpses lie quietly on the cracked ground.
In this area, there is no sound except for the sound of running water on the inclined high-rise buildings and the movement of fish fluttering.
The earthquake disrupted traffic, and before rescuers arrived in the area, Yuta was dead silent.
Liuhua on the side pursed her lips, her already fair face was even more pale, she had seen many disasters, but it was the first time she had encountered the scene of human corpses everywhere.
Oz was doing well, and seeing that the two of them were unwell, Night Raven opened his mouth and reminded: "This is the closest space-time singularity point to the target, judging from the map, we are currently in the West District of Jakarta, and there is still some distance from the North District you mentioned." ”
Oz observed the current of water on the ground and was not optimistic about the situation in the North District, which is closest to Jakarta Bay and will be hit by tsunamis in addition to the damage caused by the earthquake.
If Yuta's family has a 10% survival rate in the South Side, then a 1% survival rate in the North District may not even be 1%.
"Let's go, let's go." Yuta stopped looking at the corpses in various forms, resisted the discomfort in his stomach, and urged Oz to take him to the North End.
Oz looked at his paws, spewed thunder from his beak, ripped off the roof of a scrapped car, and motioned for Yuta and Rokuka to stand up.
When the two of them climbed onto the upside-down roof, Oz used the electromagnetism to make the roof slightly levitate on the ground, and quickly flew towards the north area.
Jakarta is a modest area of 661.26 square kilometres, and at Oz's speed, it won't take long to get from the western side to the similar northern side.
Along the way, there are ruins everywhere you look, and there are very few high-rise buildings still standing in highly urbanized Jakarta after a magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami.
Yuta grabbed the B-pillar with the roof torn open, his heart already in his throat, and under the baptism of the tsunami, he didn't see anyone alive along the way, let alone the hardest-hit North District.
'Mom and Dad, camphor leaves, dream leaves. You must not be fine. Yuta prayed silently in his heart.
In order to ensure that Yuta, an ordinary person, would not be blown down by the wind generated by extreme speed, Oz kept the speed of his flight at an even speed.
"Help! Help me! ”
There was a shout from a small collapsed building, and Yuta and Rokuka couldn't understand what the other was saying, but they could feel the anticipation and anxiety in the words.
Yuta immediately locked on to the source of the sound and set his eyes on Oz, who was flying in front of him.
"You want to save her?" Oz stopped flying.
It seems to have seen the strange vehicle outside stop, and the shouting in the ruins became louder and more urgent.
Yuta was at a loss, he didn't know what to do, and in his subconscious, he definitely hoped to save his family first, after all, if he delayed for one more second, the probability of his family's death would be one point higher.
The education that can be received from childhood to adulthood, as well as the condemnation from conscience, makes Yuta want to stop and help the other party again.
He looked at Liuhua and Oz at a loss, as if he wanted them to give an answer.
After all, even if it is a rescue, it depends on the two transcendent people in front of him.
Seeing Yuta's entanglement, Rokka jumped out of the roof of the car with a light footstep, and said, "There is time to think about whether to lend a helping hand, the true eye of the evil king is enough to rewrite her fate." ”
"Yes," Yuta said as she walked down the steps, "It's very close to my family's address, so I rescued her and asked her if she knew my family." ”
Rokka didn't say a word, the Vision of God tied under her collar shone brightly, and the water on the ground provided convenience for the girl who harnessed the ice element.
Several icicles slowly condensed in the ruins, lifting up the shattered heavy stone slabs, revealing one of the shocked women.
The woman who hurriedly crawled out of the rubble was grizzled and embarrassed, part of her skin was swollen in the water, and after a short period of shock, the expression on her face was unusually excited, and she said a lot of words to Liuhua that she didn't understand.
Yuta hurriedly stepped forward, took out his mobile phone, took out a photo of the whole family to show the woman, and asked in half-baked English, "Okay, have you ever seen anyone on this?" ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, then pointed to Yuta's father and said in fluent English, "I have an impression of this man." ”
Yuta was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect that he just saved a random person, and the other party actually knew his father.
In a large city with a population of 10 million, the probability of pulling a random stranger, and this stranger actually knows his own family, this kind of probability is very small.
"Do you know where he is?" Yuta asked in his broken English.
"I often see him in a small supermarket nearby, he seems to be from Yingzhou, I heard the boss say that he seems to be an engineer of a large enterprise."
"Yes, that's him!" Yuta excitedly said, "Where is he now?" ”
"Maybe it's around here, but I don't know exactly where." The woman shook her head.
Yuta was speechless, of course he knew that it was around here, but he didn't know which one it was, so he had to tell the house number of his father's residence.
The woman nodded, pointed to the ruins of the house not far away, and said, "The location you said is in that area, but I don't know if there is anyone alive." ”
"Thank you."
"No, no, I just want to thank you, thank you."
Before the woman could finish speaking, Yuta left in a hurry, and at the same time beckoned, "My father's residence is here, Mr. Oz, Rokuka-san, here!" ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Oz and Liuhua to hurriedly step on the sea water on the street and rush over.
Rokka and Oz glanced at each other and immediately followed.
"Dad! Mother! Yongtae, who was standing in front of the ruins, shouted, "Camphor leaves! Yumeba! I'm coming! If you hear that, reply to me! ”
Liuhua attracted the ice crystals, and the willow eyebrows on her pretty face frowned, the woman before was buried very shallowly, and she could see it at a glance, and the ruins in front of her collapsed, and there was no movement, and she didn't dare to make a move at will.
Humans are extremely fragile creatures, and if she supports the ruins, the squeeze of the broken floor slabs will take away all the life that may survive in them.
Oz was about to harness the electromagnet when the ground began to shake wildly.
The woman in the distance shouted, "Aftershock! It's an aftershock! Don't stay there! ”
'Aftershocks? Oz's crow's eyes looked straight at the ground, and it sensed a terrifying aura underneath.
