Discussions on earthquake disaster prevention drills have also been sparked in other places. Regardless of what people say, the action is carried out as usual.

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan were still assigned to patrol the perimeter of the base. After receiving the shift roster, Liu Zhaoyun said regretfully: "We are no longer in the same unit this time. Qingqing, you must take care of yourself. We will meet again in the future if we are lucky enough."

"Goodbye Zhaoyun, you must take care of yourself too." Qiao Qingqing waved at her.

When she reported to the unit, the captain who received her also told her about this matter.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, and the first earthquake drill is about to begin. Our security team will cooperate throughout the entire process. You must be prepared and wear clothes and shoes that are more suitable for activities."

"Okay, I understand."

At nine o'clock the next morning, the drill officially began with a long siren. When the siren sounded, Qiao Qingqing was patrolling outdoors. There happened to be shanty towns around her. She immediately turned the light to the brightest, bit the whistle hanging around her neck, and blew it hard.

"Quickly evacuate to a flat area! The large square to the west of the evacuation point of the shantytown west area!——"

Many people ran out of their huts, but many more remained indifferent. Qiao Qingqing blew the whistle and evacuated people with her colleagues, leading them to retreat to the big square.

"I'm so tired! I've never run so fast even when catching a thief!" The colleague gasped.

"The constant sound of sirens made me feel a sense of urgency...but there were too few people, and many people didn't cooperate." Another colleague looked around at the sparse crowd and said with a frown.

Qiao Qingqing wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeves, looked around, and said nothing.

"Maybe there will be more people next time. It's the first time after all!"

"Wow, look! This drill is a grand event!" A colleague pointed to the sky excitedly.

Looking up, Qiao Qingqing saw countless planes circling in the dark sky, and the lights from the planes made them shine in the night sky like meteors.

The first earthquake evacuation drill did not go smoothly. Mayor Luo looked at the reported data with a frown on his face, and issued an order with higher requirements for the second drill.

But after several attempts, the situation was still not optimistic. During the fifth time, the number of people cooperating even dropped below the lowest level.

Mobilize, inspire, encourage...

The top leaders have put a lot of thought into increasing the people's survival rate in the earthquake, and later distributed emergency kits containing compressed biscuits and water, as well as basic medical supplies such as gauze and alcohol.

Initially, we started distributing them in new communities, and then gradually expanded outwards, so that every registered person could receive one.

At the canning factory, Shao's father stuffed the emergency kit into the large backpack prepared by his daughter-in-law. He had previously stuffed the backpack into the closet in his dormitory. When he returned home on vacation this time, his daughter-in-law helped him sort out the things inside again, and it was almost full. Since the new emergency kit could not fit in, he opened the emergency kit, took out the things inside, and stuffed them into the backpack one by one.

"Lao Shao, why are you carrying such a big bag? It's so cumbersome!" A colleague joked after seeing it, "Don't make it too heavy. If there is an earthquake, you won't be able to carry it!"

"Go away, I can definitely carry it." Father Shao zipped up the backpack and carefully stuffed it under his workstation.

In Ping'an Community, Shao Shengfei shouted loudly: "Mom, I'm going out to take out the trash!"

Mother Shao came out of the room, still holding a sprinkler in her hand: "Remember to carry your bag, remember to carry it when you go out?"

"Got it, Mom. I'll carry it!" Shao Shengfei was very strong, so the backpack didn't matter to him at all. He carried the trash can and walked out briskly. When he saw Chi Yuxiu, who was also going out to throw away the trash, he took the trash from her and said, "Sister Yuxiu, give me the trash."

Chi Yuxiu looked at him tenderly: "Thank you, Shengfei. My mother made some fried potatoes and will send some to you later."

Shao Shengfei nodded happily and went downstairs to throw away the garbage.

After throwing away the garbage, he heard a scream from the side. Shao Shengfei moved the flashlight over curiously and saw a woman fell to the ground in the corner.

"Oh, it hurts, brother, can you come over and help me up? I think my leg is broken."

Shao Shengfei showed a sympathetic expression, but he did not go over. Instead, he took a step back and turned around and ran: "Wait a minute, I'll find someone to help you!" His sister said that if you meet a stranger on the road asking for help, you must not go alone. First look for someone from the security team. If you can't find anyone, look for residents in nearby houses. You must have someone to accompany you. This stranger sister seemed to be in pain and was crying. He had to run quickly to find someone to help.

"..." The woman shouted, "Wait a minute!"

The more she shouted, the faster Shao Shengfei ran. The woman turned around and saw a man walking out from the corner. He said angrily, "How could this idiot be so clever? I wanted to steal his backpack! Forget it, let's go. If he brings people here soon, we'll be exposed."

In Pingshan Community, Shao Shengan shot an arrow and hit the robber in the calf.

The man screamed and fell to the ground. Shao Shengan ran over to catch him, but his colleague ran a little faster than him. He caught the man first and said with a smile: "It's just that your backpack is too heavy! No wonder you can't run fast with such a heavy backpack. It will delay your work. Just listen to me and bring the emergency kit we gave you like us!"

Shao Shengan panted a little and shook his head: "I'm used to it. It's okay."

"Haha, then you should run faster next time, faster than me!"

"Don't worry, I will run faster than you next time." Shao Shengan squatted down and pulled out the arrow without hesitation.

“Ah! Ahhh!”

"Hiss, Sheng An, you are so cruel. His wound is bleeding. How could you pull out the arrow like that—"

"He killed two people. This little pain is nothing compared to those two dead people." Shao Shengan wiped the blood-stained crossbow arrow on his body and threw it into the quiver.

In the backyard of a security detachment dormitory outside the survivor base.

"Isn't it too early to send it out now? My neighbor ate the contents a few days after receiving it. I also heard that someone is selling this kind of emergency kit." My colleague Xu Jing frowned and looked at the ceiling. "I don't know if the exact time of the earthquake can be predicted. I think many people don't take earthquakes seriously. It's strange. There have been many natural disasters in recent years, and there have never been any warnings before. It's not easy for the authorities to predict the earthquake disaster in advance this time. Why do I feel that many people don't take it seriously? It's too strange! Sister Qingqing, what do you think?"

Qiao Qingqing lowered her head to sew clothes and heard this and said, "Some people don't take it seriously, some people do. This is something that cannot be forced. No matter if it is sent out early or late, people who don't take it seriously will still not cherish the emergency kit."

"I'm really scared. I've been suffering from insomnia for several days. I'm afraid there will be an earthquake in my sleep and I can't escape. I've been listening to the noise with my ears perked up. I think I have a little tinnitus. Oh!" Xu Jing turned over and sat up. Seeing Qiao Qingqing mending her clothes across from her seriously, she pulled her hair and took out her sewing kit to start mending her torn pants. She was upset and couldn't get the thread through. She even poked herself twice.

She slapped the bed angrily, making a thumping sound.

Qiao Qingqing looked up and said, "Give it here, I'll help you put it on." The new colleague and new roommate were easy to get along with, except that she had a quick temper, but that was not a big problem. Xu Jing was responsible at work and it was comfortable to work with her. Qiao Qingqing liked her very much and the two of them got along well.

Hearing this, Xu Jing pouted and picked up the needle and thread that had been thrown on the bed. She put on her slippers and sat down beside Qiao Qingqing's bed. She held the needle tip and handed it to her, complaining, "I just can't thread the thread well. I'm fine at sewing clothes."

Qiao Qingqing smiled and helped her thread the needle quickly and steadily.

"Wow, Sister Qingqing, you are so amazing. You succeeded in one try!" Xu Jing cheered, took the needle and started sewing.

Qiao Qingqing doesn't have to work the night shift tonight, so she can tidy up her room in the dormitory more leisurely.

She glanced at Xu Jing's actions, lowered her head and continued to busy herself with her own things. At this moment, she felt that life was peaceful and tranquil.

After sewing, Qiao Qingqing took the kettle off the coal stove, spread a towel on the clothes, and began to iron the clothes with the bottom of the kettle. The hot air ironed out the wrinkles on the clothes, Qiao Qingqing put the kettle back, lifted the clothes and shook them, and then hung them on the hanger.

After watching all of them, Xu Jing couldn't take her eyes off and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, you are really patient and have a good taste for life. Don't you think it's troublesome? I don't have the patience."

"I'm free anyway, so it's not a big deal." Qiao Qingqing clapped her hands, went to get the cup, and asked her, "Would you like some? I added red dates and wolfberries to it, it should taste good."

"Thank you, Sister Qingqing. Then give me a cup. My cup is here!" Xu Jing jumped up to get the cup. Qiao Qingqing poured her a full cup. Looking at the red dates and wolfberries floating in the cup and smelling the water, Xu Jing smiled. She put the cup on the table first and went to rummage through the suitcase under the bed.

"This is the dried sweet potato my dad made. It's made from the heat-resistant sweet potatoes we used to have. It's a little sticky, but it tastes great and can help you pass the time. Sister Qingqing, you can try it."

"Thank you." Qiao Qingqing only took one piece, took a bite and nodded with a smile, "Your father's cooking skills are really good. It's delicious."

Xu Jing smiled with narrowed eyes: "If it tastes good, eat more!" She grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Qiao Qingqing's pocket.

"You don't have to give me so much." Qiao Qingqing only took one more piece and asked her to put it away. "I can get it from you when I want to eat it."

She insisted, so Xu Jing had to take her hand back: "Okay, okay, if you want to eat, just take it yourself."

Bang bang bang!

There's someone knocking on the door.

"Qiao Qingqing Xu Jing!"

Qiao Qingqing immediately stood up and went to open the door.

The deputy captain stood at the door anxiously and said in a hurry: "We have received news that there will be a cult gathering at the Old West City Primary School tonight. You should also go over to help!"

Without waiting for Qiao Qingqing to respond, the deputy captain hurried away and knocked on the doors of other dormitories.

"Fuck, I hate cult gatherings the most. Those people are like crazy and have no fear of death. A brother I knew was stabbed in the stomach by a crazy cult member and died!" Xu Jing stuffed the sweet potato rolls back under the bed and began to arm herself.

Qiao Qingqing also went back to get her quiver and crossbow, then touched her calf to make sure the dagger tied to it was still there, and she was ready.

"Let's go."
