Everyone looked at the secretary in unison.

Under normal circumstances, there is nothing particularly urgent, and the secretary would not walk in like this.

The secretary quickly walked behind Liu Shi*, leaned over and said, "Liu Shi, there is an abnormal situation on the side of the Boyang River. ”

Liu Shi turned around and asked suspiciously, "What's the situation?" Did someone drown or did the boat capsize? ”

Secretary: "The fish in the Boyang River are jumping around. ”

As he spoke, he took out the video and showed it to him.

Then he explained: "The Shen Bureau of the Earthquake Bureau instructed me to report back to you. ”

Liu Shi thought speechlessly: "What is this?" Do you want to report this too? He, Shen Linmin, is crazy? ”

But

A question suddenly occurred to him: "Isn't there really an earthquake?" ”

Just a second before the secretary came in, he was still talking to Xu Ning about it.

However, just now, the two of them communicated in the form of jokes and storytelling, and "both" was not at ease.

Now after being reminded by the secretary, he can't help but think about it.

Why did three strange things happen in a row?

First, there was a large number of birds migrating;

Then came the rat move;

Then the fish jump out of the water.

It's as if something strange is going to happen.

Xu Ning on the side was looking at the time, and it was about to reach 13:15, and there was only an hour left before the earthquake occurred.

At this time, there is less than an hour before the city's celebration of the Olympic Games, and all kinds of competitions and entertainment activities are ready.

Xu Ning looked at the time and said casually: "Liu Shi, this thing is very strange today, shouldn't there really be an earthquake?" ”

Liu Shi smiled helplessly: "We are already in the earthquake zone here, and it is possible to happen, but I can't notify everyone in advance of the transfer." ”

Xu Ning nodded in understanding.

After all, this is a matter of no evidence, once there is no earthquake, everyone is transferred, and it is held accountable afterwards.

Xu Ning: "Liu City, let the government office supervise it again, let the students and parents be sure to come to school before two o'clock, and let everyone come out to participate in the activities of the village committee." ”

Liu Shi: "In the morning, according to the requirements of the Olympic Organizing Committee, I have been repeatedly informed, and it is estimated that many people will come. ”

That's all he can do.

Encourage people to participate in outdoor activities as much as possible to avoid injury.

Ten minutes later.

Drive to City No. 1 Middle School.

It was 13:45.

The playground was densely packed with students and parents, playing games and playing balls.

Because the mobilization ceremony was held yesterday, it was exempted today, and Xu Ning's arrival was to interact with the children.

Walking on the playground, he kept looking at his watch.

14:25.

It's only three minutes.

At this point,

Everyone has completed the interaction task of the city No. 1 middle school and is ready to drive to the primary school to interact with children from several surrounding towns.

It takes about five minutes to walk from the playground to the parking lot, which means that there will be an earthquake halfway there.

On this road, there is wide greenery, there are no high-rise buildings, and Xu Ning can ensure everyone's safety.

But

At this time, how many people are still at home in Dujiangyan, Wenchuan and Beichuan and other places?

This number should be huge.

Because of the activities of neighborhood committees and village committees, not many people can be called, and many people are reluctant to go.

The urban area is ok, the house structure is good.

But the earthquake-resistant structure of the county and township houses is not good enough, which worries him the most.

How many people in these places take a lunch break or watch TV at home?

The more I think about it, the more headache I get,

Xu Ning suddenly felt dizzy.

His eyes were dark, and he struggled to control himself to stand in place, not letting himself fall, and his hands were tightly caressing his forehead,

"Ah Brother Ning, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yifei was the first to notice him, immediately supported him, and shouted nervously.

Mayor Liu, who was walking next to him, also ran over to help him with concern, and also skillfully pinched his people.

Xu Ning, who was in pain, frowned.

"Liu Shi, tap ......"

"Ah, are you okay Director Xu?"

"It's okay, maybe I'm too tired these days."

After more than ten seconds, Xu Ning eased up.

He looked at the time again, and it was 14:27.

There was only one minute left before the shaking arrived.

Looking back at the children who were entertaining on the playground, he breathed a sigh of relief.

For most of the past half month, most of his efforts have been on this group of students.

Involving all students, including senior high school graduates, in outdoor activities can effectively prevent child casualties.

And he did.

I dare not say that all the students in Sichuan Province are outdoors, but at least 95% of them are now active outside the classroom.

Coupled with the parents of the accompanying students and the people who are interacting outdoors in various villages, Xu Ning feels that he has saved at least one or two hundred thousand people.

But

There will be a large number of people......

No way, I tried my best.

He took one last look at the time, 14:27:45.

19 seconds to go.

The epicenter is very close to here, and it can be reached in a second or two.

suddenly

He saw two girls running hand in hand towards the classroom not far away, and they were already under the hallway.

Xu Ning's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted sternly: "Those two female students, come here." ”

This sound, which was almost like a roar, made the two fifteen or sixteen-year-old students suddenly froze in place, not daring to move.

Xu Ning shouted again: "You two come here." ”

02:27:55 PM

"Hurry up, do you hear me?"

Everyone was puzzled why Xu Ning was suddenly so fierce.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that the two of them were not moving, he shouted again.

At this moment, two students who had been frightened walked slowly.

"Hurry up and run, haven't you eaten?"

"Brother Ning, you ......"

He wanted to go up and pull, however, he would not put himself in extreme danger.

The school building in front of me is obviously a bit old, so there is no need to take risks.

02:28:04 PM

suddenly

There was a muffled sound of "boom", knocking on everyone's hearts.

In less than a second, the earth and sky suddenly trembled, and the energy that destroyed the world was surging upwards from the ground of Yingxiu Town.

The mountains are shaking......

The clouds are shaking......

The tree is falling......

Room in the Tower......

People are shouting......

on the playground,

The screams of students and parents were incessant.

Scurrying like a headless fly.

In just a dozen seconds, the teaching building in front of Xu Ning collapsed, and the two girls in front of the building had already run to a safe range because of Xu Ning's reminder.

If it weren't for Xu Ning......

The two of them are now crushed on the cold concrete floor, their lives and deaths unknown.

Because he had been prepared for a long time, Xu Ning reacted after only a few seconds, and hugged Qian Qian and Shi Shi beside him tightly.

The two women were already slumped to the ground in fright.

And next to Gao Yuanyuan, Shuangbing, Hu Jun, Jielun, Fang Long, and government workers, they all squatted on the ground.

"It's an earthquake!"

"It's an earthquake!"

"It's an earthquake!"

"There really was an earthquake...... I deserve death! ”

Mayor Liu half-squatted on the ground, beating his chest.

"This earthquake is too strong, if only I had listened to Shen Linmin's words earlier, I would have sent a notice and warning earlier......

Years of work experience made him realize that this earthquake would definitely kill a lot of people.

But it was too late.

Liu Shi looked back at Xu Ning and found that Xu Ning had already stood up to defend the people around him, and he gritted his teeth and stood up as well.

"Ahhh......h

"It's an earthquake, what should I do, Brother Ning."

"Woo woo, I'm afraid I'm going to die here."

"Don't move, squat where you are, don't move." Xu Ning shouted loudly, "There is no house here, it is safe for the time being." ”

He knew that the first wave of tremors would last for a full two minutes, so after stabilizing the people around him, he began to run towards the playground.

Standing on the edge of the guardrail,

Xu Ning shouted inside: "Lie on the ground and don't move, lie down." ”

Liu Shi and the rest of the staff were followed behind him, and everyone except Xu Ning had a frightened expression on their faces.

Not far away,

Houses are collapsing.

The old house only lasted for more than ten seconds before it collapsed.

The five-story school buildings collapsed to four floors in an instant, leaving only the highest floor on the ground.

The students on the playground choked up when they saw this, and if they were in the classroom now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time.

More than a minute has passed, and most of the teachers and parents have recovered and begun to maintain order.

Xu Ning pulled everyone up and walked towards an open place.

suddenly

Master Liu screamed, pointed to the house in the distance and said, "That building, it has fallen down, there are more than a dozen floors. ”

Xu Ning sighed,

I prayed in my heart that no one in that building was the best.

But it can't be that there is no one, just now the students were in the playground, and he saw someone lying by the window watching.

Two minutes passed.

The world is quiet again.

All of them

They all stood up with blank eyes, not knowing what to do next.

Even Mayor Liu is like that.

Xu Ning shook his shoulders and shouted loudly: "Liu Shi, Liu Shi, quickly return to your post and command the disaster relief." ”

It took three shouts before Liu Shi reacted.

He swallowed his saliva violently, took Xu Ning's hand and said, "Director Xu, pay attention to safety, I'm leaving." ”

Subsequently.

Liu Shi turned around and ran, shouting loudly: "Prepare the car quickly and go back to the emergency command center of the city government." ”

At this time.

Feng Xiaogang, Jay Chou, Ge You, Hu Jun, Yang Mi, Qian Qian and others stood up one by one, and they looked at each other.

"Director Xu, the earthquake ......" Feng Xiaogang was also frightened.

"Scared me to death, but luckily everyone is okay." Ge You patted his chest and said.

Xu Ning looked at the ruins in the distance and muttered to himself: "Yes, we are fine, but they ...... Something's wrong. ”

Approaching more than twenty celebrity artists, they slowly walked towards Xu Ning and looked in the direction of his finger.

The tall building that used to stand there is gone.

Some can see a corner, while others can't see a corner.

"I wonder how many people will be pressed down here?" The corners of Fan Bing'er's eyes were a little ruddy, and she seemed to be begging for comfort when she was holding Xu Ning's hand.

Xu Ning hugged her and comforted: "It's okay, the rescue team is already on the way." ”

Several women, including Sun Yanzi, were very worried, Xu Ning hugged them one by one, and then instructed the two male assistants he brought:

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Ma, you guys stay here to protect them...... Director Feng and Uncle Ge, you are older and stay behind, Jay Lun and Brother Jun, you come with me to see the situation, and the documentary team follows me. ”

He quickly finished arranging, and everyone began to act separately, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi were not worried about Xu Ning and were ready to go up to help.

But they were stopped by Fan Bing'er and Gao Yuanyuan: "Qianqian, teacher, let's stay here to appease the students, don't make trouble for Brother Ning and them." ”

Looking at Xu Ning and the others in the distance, several women gritted their teeth and walked towards the playground with Feng Xiaogang.

At this time, the playground is already chaotic, and people need to be in order for this.

The other side.

Xu Ning took Jielun and Hu Jun, as well as two assistants and three documentary teams, and began to run to the school gate.

Along the way, the walls are ruined.

Everyone couldn't bear to look at it.

The reason why Xu Ning didn't stay was because he knew that there would be no danger if everyone in the school was on the playground, and he was very concerned about the outside now.

Not only that,

In more than 90% of the schools in Sichuan Province, the classrooms are empty, and all the students participate in sports activities on the playground.

Other words

This time, the impact on students will be reduced by more than 90%.

At least a few thousand people will be unharmed.

This is a blessing in disguise.

After coming outside.

At a glance, many houses have fallen off their skins, and the old ones are all crooked, and the streets are full of people.

Looking at the phone again, there is no signal.

Xu Ning: "Xiao Chen, where is our car?" ”

Xiao Chen: "Parking lot at the school gate." ”

Xu Ning: "Go and drive the car over, pony, you follow, prepare the satellite phone and drone, I want to report to BJ." ”

The two acted quickly.

meanwhile

Liu City, who returned to the municipal building, immediately held a meeting to set up an earthquake emergency command center, "Now there are two tasks that are very urgent, the first is to save people, and the second is to repair communications, and to pass on information." ”

soon

The staff brought one of the few satellite phones in the city and put them in the office, and Liu immediately dialed the Chengdu special line.

……

At this point,

Walking on the street, many people were flustered, and even if someone recognized Xu Ning, they were no longer the same as before.

Some relatives were crushed under the rubble, squatting next to them and crying, the streets were terrified, and the sounds of ambulances and fire trucks were non-stop.

Hu Jun: "This is still in the city, and the earthquake-resistant structure of the house is a little higher, and it has become like this, which the county and the town dare not imagine." ”

Jay Chou: "What should we do now?" ”

Xu Ning: "We can't save people, what we should do now is to pass on the situation here and let social forces participate." ”

soon

The two assistants brought satellite phones, and Xu Ning directly dialed the phone number of the vice president of the Olympic Organizing Committee, but did not receive a response.

Capital.

The vice president of the Olympic Organizing Committee was entering the venue for a meeting, and suddenly his mobile phone rang, but he didn't answer because he didn't know the number.

But after he sat down, the phone rang again, and the big guy next to him motioned for him to answer, so he walked to the door and pressed the answer button.

"Wu Xi, something happened." Xu Ning shouted for the first time.

"Are you Xiao Xu?" Wu Xi heard his voice and asked suspiciously.

"Yes Wu Xi, I'm Xu Ning, I'm reporting to you in Dujiangyan, it's Zhen here, and the intensity is not lower than level 8......"

He hasn't finished speaking,

The cup in Wu Xi's hand fell to the ground, and he asked loudly: "Xu Ning, do you have to be responsible for what you said, do you say it again?" ”

Xu Ning immediately repeated.

Wu Xi said: "Level 8 Zhen? ”

Airplanes......

At the venue, there were several important figures, and director Zhang Yimou was also here, and everyone looked in the direction of Wu Xi.

But Wu Xi didn't seem to see the people behind him, and repeated Xu Ning's words word by word again: "In the community around you alone, more than a dozen people were killed?" ”

More than a dozen......

It's already a major safety incident.

The important person who was looking at the document looked up.

At the venue,

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

Hung up the phone shortly after.

Wu Xi quickly came to the important person to report: "Xu Ning is celebrating the Olympics in Dujiangyan, where there is an earthquake ......"

The important people heard some of the content of the phone call just now, and he didn't think that Xu Ning would be fooling around in this matter.

Because he has been in contact with Xu Ning many times, he knows that Xu Ning is serious and responsible, and he is not a frivolous young man.

Without asking whether it was true or not, the important person immediately stood up and called the secretary behind him: "Pick me up XX." ”

At this time.

Just over a minute after the tremor was felt.

Xu Ning was the first person to transmit his voice to the capital, and even the local authorities did not react.

In less than two minutes,

The dignitaries at the venue received a reply with only four words: "The situation is true." ”

Originally, the whole meeting lasted three hours, but it ended after more than an hour, and everyone returned to their original posts after a long story was short.

Dujiangyan.

Xu Ning was recording a video explaining the situation at the scene, and a drone took off to shoot a high-altitude panoramic video.

It only took Xu Ning more than ten minutes to produce a three-minute video report, which introduced almost the entire urban area.

At the end of the video,

Xu Ning highlighted Wenchuan, Beichuan and Mianyang: "These places are located in mountainous areas and are the most severely affected, and we call on professional rescue teams to come immediately with professional equipment." ”

Followed by.

He put the video into his laptop phone for editing, and in less than five minutes, he shoved the USB flash drive into the hand of his assistant Pony.

"Go back to Chengdu immediately, send it to my sister, and ask my sister to contact Sina to send this video."

Finish commanding these.

He called the L-day rescue team in Beijing and Jinling again and told them the truth here: "Be sure to get here tonight as soon as possible, I'm not kidding." ”

The two friends acted quickly, used their connections to gather the core members, and rushed to the scene with professional equipment.

It took only two and a half hours from the phone call to the assembly of the team of more than 20 people.

The blue uniforms have already stepped on the plane to the disaster area.

……

Hung up the phone at the moment.

Xu Ning quickly ran to the playground and wanted to send several women back to Chengdu, but they all had to stay here.

Xu Ning also let them go.

So he began to reassure the child with everyone, while paying close attention to the news from the outside world.

The video was sent to Xu Xiuyan, and the two also talked on the phone, and Xiuyan, who realized the seriousness of the problem, immediately sent the video to Sina.

Sina acted quickly, sending the video out in less than ten minutes.

……

In the 32nd minute after the earthquake, CCTV orally broadcast the news of the Wenchuan earthquake, but there were no pictures or videos.

At this point,

saw Xu Ning's long video of more than three minutes, and immediately asked Sina for the original video to start production.

Ten minutes later, it was put in the CCTV news live broadcast room.

Time

The populace was completely blown up.

100,000, 500,000, 5,000,000......

The number of views quickly soared to 30 million.

At this point,

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and more than two hours had passed since the earthquake occurred.

This is the first video report of the disaster area since the earthquake.

The person who posted this video is not a journalist,

Soon after.

CCTV's call went directly to Xu Ning.

And it was the ledger of the news channel that was personally typed.

"Xu Ning, our CCTV reporters are on their way to Dujiangyan, but they don't have drones, can you let them report with you?"

Xu Ning has this intention.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was setting like snow.

Two CCTV reporters with three staff members came to Xu Ning's side, and they had professional wireless network transmitters.

First, we took pictures of the school, and then we ran together to the worst-hit western mountains.

There is the direction of Wenchuan Yingxiu.

The farther west you go, the worse it gets.

When the group came to the national highway near the Jinma River, they found that the boulder had blocked the road to Yingxiu Town.

Xu Ning got out of the car with the reporter.

Jay Chou and Hu Jun, as well as the documentary team, followed behind.

Female reporter Zhang Quanling looked at Xu Ning with red eyes: "Director Xu, I think the situation inside will be very bad, should we go in?" ”

The front is dangerous!

Xu Ning looked at the road ahead and fell into a hesitation.

Thank you for your support!
