Chapter 3 The Appearance of All Beings
The thunder was rolling, and the awe-inspiring government building lost its luster in the wind and rain. Without the embellishment of lights, only a few dim candles flickered in the majestic Great Hall of the People, showing its mystery.
In the conference room, the bigwigs of the Anhui Provincial Rights Center looked at each other speechlessly. The old man in the first seat sat slumped in a comfortable leather office chair, his thin body hidden in the cold darkness, so weak. The meeting room was bustling with pedestrians, as noisy as a vegetable market. The leaders of the various ministries who came and went in a hurry did not see the city government and elegance. When a natural disaster comes, arrogant people finally realize their insignificance.
A middle-aged man with a pale face and gold-rimmed glasses rushed into the venue, ran to the old man, bent down and whispered. The attention of the gloomy bigwigs was attracted, and Sen Leng looked at him with heavy pressure.
After listening to the report, the old man nodded expressionlessly to indicate that he already knew.
"Let's tell everyone what the situation is now. The secretary on the side understood, straightened his waist and cleared his throat to report to the leaders.
"At present, the people affected by the disaster in the Badu area can no longer be counted, the water level in the city center has been measured to be at least five meters, many residential buildings in the old city have been knocked down by lightning, and it is conservatively estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have been killed!"
When the number of victims was revealed, the faces of the leaders under the seat could no longer be described as iron blue, and they turned into tigers and wolves one by one.
"What about the people from the meteorological department? Let the person in charge get out and give an explanation! Why is there no news in advance about such a large-scale rainfall?" One leader slapped the table frantically, and the others also had bruises on their foreheads and cold sweat. Such a large casualty in non-wartime will inevitably be held accountable afterwards, this pot is not something that one or two people can carry, and the group of people in the conference room will have to go to a nursing home for the elderly!
Secretary Wang glanced at the expressionless secretary with his spare eyes, and an ugly smile was piled up on his face, "The terrain of the Meteorological Bureau is relatively low, and it is close to Tianshui Lake, so no one has run out......"
The previously angry leader was suffocated, snorted coldly, turned his head and said nothing.
"Xiao Wang, you go on. The old man lifted his chin.
"Okay, secretary!" the eyed man hurriedly responded. "At present, all public departments are organizing personnel to rescue and provide disaster relief, but because of the lack of communication and the lack of effective organization, the efficiency is very low. The environment outside was harsh, the visibility was low, and we couldn't get to the people affected in time. ”
"Has the cause of the outage been found?" someone asked.
"I found it, since the thunder began, the whole province has been shrouded in strong electromagnetic waves, and all the live facilities have been burned down, and there is no way to repair them. Once it is repaired, it will be damaged again! Communication cannot be activated for this reason. Experts from the Academy of Sciences reported that they had never understood electromagnetic waves in this band, and they did not know why they would have such a devastating blow to electronic products, because the facilities were all damaged, and the experts were not in a position to conduct further research. ”
"In fact, there are people at the Academy of Sciences who have been monitoring the weather conditions throughout the country, and according to them, this thunderstorm should not have happened at all, because there was no sign of heavy rain in advance, and the meteorological monitoring results showed that everything was normal. And now it is impossible to guess when the rain will stop, and by a rough survey of the thickness of the clouds by limited means, it will be at least another day. ”
"A group of rice buckets will only fool the common people!"
"It's going to be another day!" the conference room suddenly became lively.
The old man knocked lightly on the table to stop everyone's complaints, "Where are the people in the army now?" The army was the last straw for everyone, and everyone looked at Secretary Wang, hoping for a good answer.
Although the temperature was very low, the sweat on Secretary Wang's body was comparable to the heavy rain outside the house, and the eyes and momentum of the leaders were sharper than the blade.
"Can't reach ......"
The expected storm did not come, and after waiting for a while, Secretary Wang quietly raised his head with surprise and looked at the bigwigs secretly, thinking that the news of the lack of troops would make everyone furious. But the unusual silence in front of him shattered his guess.
The cold and dark breath grew thicker, and the moisture in the air seemed to be frozen. The young secretary Wang was frightened by the tense breath and kept taking a few steps back. He had seen such a tense scene once, and since then many familiar faces in the room have been gone forever.
The old man looked at the cadres who were sitting silently and staring intently at the teacups and candles on the table, as if they wanted to see these things, and mockery flashed in their hearts, and no one dared to respond to his sharp eyes at this time.
The old man stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes and lit them under Secretary Wang's terrified gaze, took a slow breath and then took a long breath. He strolled to the window and stared at the rain outside.
There were few fireworks, and the people in the room were waiting for the cigarettes to burn out, and the eagerness of the young man was finally about to marry the beautiful bride. The old man didn't turn around, he knew that these people were all looking at him eagerly, they were waiting for an order. An order that only he is qualified to give.
The fireworks streaked slowly but surely, and a few minutes seemed as long as centuries. Finally, a pleasant voice sounded......
"Let's get ready, let's get out of here first......
Thunder roared outside the window, and the old man said softly. The back was bleak, and everyone realized for the first time that there was an old man standing there in the distance.
The picture flows, breaking through the rain curtain. The city was full of wailing......
The water is rushing, and its momentum is strong. Over the centuries, this famous city, which has been nurtured by countless generations, was destroyed in just half a day. In the streets and alleys, the whirlpool swallows everything. There are not only luxurious vehicles floating on the water, but also countless human corpses.
The old man trapped at the top of the tree, clinging to the thick branches, was screaming in despair......
The wind gently swept his muddy undershirt, and Thunder responded to his cry with indifference......
The water flows through the waist, but the desire to survive cannot be turned into the strength to survive. In the dark, there is a little more starlight on the surface of the water that adorns the scenery.
On the telephone pole, the stray dog was wailing in desolation, and before it was drowned, its eyes looked in the direction of its former home.
In the old residential buildings of the seventies and eighties of the last century, most of these buildings only have about six or seven floors. Homes below the third floor have become underwater views. The corridors were densely packed with terrified residents. The people standing at the bottom squeezed desperately upward, and the cries of the children were like a clarion call for life.
"Open the door, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you!"
No matter how much I shouted that the doors of the houses upstairs were closed, no matter how much I knocked on the doors, there was no sound. Between life and death, the mad people tormented by fear have lost their minds. They desperately clung to the sturdy security door, like a teddy in heat.
The men and women in the house also desperately pushed against the door, and the old people and children blocked all the heavy objects they could find in the house at the door, and piled them up into a heart wall. Fear also stifles their sanity, and when the flood fills, this wall of their hearts will also hide their last hopes......
On the roof of the school building, a young female teacher is desperately protecting the children behind her. With a smile on her face and a soft voice, she told the children the story of the tadpole looking for her mother.
The waves hit and take away all the goodness.
In the water, a man in his forties and fifties stood on the windowsill. He lifted his wife and daughter with all his might. The mighty heavenly power could not shake the affection in his eyes.
The gentle wife responded with a smile and a smile. She's saying "Fool, I love you!"
The man closed his eyes, like a sculpture.
The beautiful girl cried out to her father in a hoarse voice, and this was the last time she felt his father's strong arm in her life......
Black Rain ...... Murky wind...... Dark red lightning flash......
Are you ready?" they whispered.
A new world has come now......
