Chapter 34 Witnessing History
The time came to June 1, 2xxx.
On Children's Day.
Ji Wanyi set an alarm clock and got up early.
I packed my things, took my mat and food, and sat on a large lawn in the park to prepare a picnic.
The red sun slowly rises from the city skyline.
The sunlight, as red as if covered with a layer of red gauze, was completely abnormal compared to the usual day. People who were already outside looked at the sun in the sky with shock on their faces, and kept raising their mobile phones to capture the shocking scene.
Another turning point before the end of the world has finally arrived.
Ji Wanyi wore sunglasses, sat on a picnic mat, drank hot milk, and watched the rising sun without changing his expression.
This strange sight did not last long. Soon the red color faded and the sun returned to normal.
Today is the weekend, and many people come here for a picnic like her.
The sun came out completely, and soon the large lawn was full of people.
Ji Wanyi occupied the middle position of the lawn.
Next to her was an American mother with three children.
The little girl in the little skirt couldn't take her eyes off her and the food she had placed on the mat.
Seeing Ji Wanyi looking at her, she gave Ji Wanyi a shy smile and hid in her mother's arms.
Ji Wanyi smiled at her and handed her the cake on the mat.
"Thank you." The little girl thanked sweetly.
"Thank you. Are you Chinese?" asked the girl's mother.
Ji Wan nodded.
"Are you alone?" the mother from Country M continued to ask.
Ji Wanyi still nodded.
"Then you should come closer to us. Some people here are very hateful. You are so pretty, don't let them target you." The mother said immediately.
"Okay, thank you."
"Oh, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. We can only go out to bask in the sun in the morning. If the sun gets strong later, we have to go back, otherwise we will get sunburned." The mother complained.
Ji Wan nodded. It was indeed getting hotter and hotter.
But this is just the beginning. I hope they will have a home to return to after today.
The sun in the sky was getting hotter and hotter. People who loved the sun were still holding on, but the mother with the children did not dare to let them stay any longer. She packed up her things and was about to leave.
"Wait a little longer..."
Ji Wanyi originally wanted to ask the mother to wait a moment, but before she could finish her words, the crowd began to make a commotion.
They were in the middle of the lawn, their view blocked by the crowd and they couldn't see anything. Ji Wanyi and the mother stood up.
On both sides of the street next to the lawn, countless rats crawled out of the sewers, and the squirrels in the trees and the stray cats and dogs in the city all fled in one direction.
The crowd was talking about it, and there were drones reporting from the sky. News reporters came and started a live broadcast.
Before the reporter could finish his words, the ground shook violently.
The mother quickly hugged her children and squatted on the ground.
The shaking continued and cracks grew and extended in the ground.
During the shaking, some old buildings collapsed.
Alarms sounded across the city.
Exclamations gradually came from the center of the city.
In addition to these animals, many more people also fled.
Street signs and street lights fell during the shaking.
Some unlucky people were hit.
The earthquake lasted for more than two minutes before it entered a period of stillness.
Ji Wanyi was certainly not panicked as he had foreseen the scene.
This earthquake was only a magnitude 7, not the most serious one. The most serious area was Sakurajima.
The earthquake was stronger than any in prehistoric times and directly caused all the houses on Sakurajima to collapse.
Because of this super strong earthquake, the active volcano Toyama, which had long been predicted to erupt, finally erupted.
The magma surged, covering almost half of Sakura Island, and the volcanic ash that erupted directly covered most of the Pacific Ocean.
However, it is not over yet, the super tsunami caused by the earthquake is on the way.
Huge waves over 500 meters high gradually formed in the central Pacific Ocean.
Sweeping towards coastal countries.
China will certainly not be able to escape.
However, China's southern immigration plan has already begun, and many people have moved to the place where the base was originally planned to be built.
But China has a large population and many coastal cities.
It is impossible to completely transfer in just over a month.
With Ji Wanyi's prediction, the Chinese government had already anticipated this crisis through "special means" of detection, and had made the people and local governments prepared in advance.
Five hours before the earthquake, local governments had mobilized all the people they could to allow people to take shelter in open areas.
Therefore, China suffered few casualties, only some property losses.
However, the islanders of Sakurajima suffered many casualties due to the triple attack of a super-strong earthquake, a volcanic eruption and huge waves.
The whole island was filled with wailing.
The domestic situation has not yet fully stabilized, and the government could not wait to hold a press conference, hoping that kind-hearted countries would provide them with assistance.
The Chinese government should be busy with what it should be busy with.
What did you say? Lend a hand?
I'm busy with disaster relief efforts and stockpiling disaster relief supplies around the world. I don't have time to listen to your nagging. I'm hanging up.
Of course, not many Chinese people paid attention to them. After all, they were all focused on the disaster-stricken cities in their own country.
Of course, some traitors are excluded.
After this disaster, China no longer concealed its means of collecting supplies, and the sea and air were almost blocked by cargo ships and cargo planes.
Merchants from all over the world have received large orders from China.
As for the local government’s unwillingness, that doesn’t matter. As long as the officials think it’s okay, it’s feasible.
Such a big move by China has naturally attracted attention from all parties.
It’s not like no country has noticed that China has been purchasing large quantities of supplies from abroad.
But at that time, China was not so arrogant. In addition, the country was undergoing large-scale construction and the domestic economic recovery was visible to everyone.
After receiving the orders from China, all the merchants thought that it was a bonus brought to them by China's economic recovery, and they were all happy to cooperate after receiving the orders.
Only now did they realize something was wrong.
China is a major import and export trade country.
However, during this period, their exports decreased, while the amount of imported goods doubled.
People from all countries don’t understand what the Chinese government is trying to do.
Everything is shipped to the country in large quantities without worrying about affecting the domestic market.
Of course there will be no impact.
Because these are things stockpiled by the government and will not be sold on the market for the time being.
Not to mention that China already has abundant supplies, and now it has bought so many, everyone knows that China has more supplies. It just so happens that Sakura Island has been severely affected by the disaster and has asked for help from its biological father, Country M.
The current president of Country M has only been in office for a short time, and various domestic forces have been making small moves.
In order to divert the attention of these troublemakers, the president thought it would be appropriate to shift their attention to China, which is recognized as a strong enemy of the United States.
So Country M joined forces with Sakura Island, the Western Eight Countries, the White Elephant Country and the Vietnam Country, which had conflicts with China, and sent warships to conduct military exercises in the waters near China's border.
The Chinese government's eyes lit up. It was just worrying about how to find a reason to close the border to deal with the primary zombie chaos that would be taking place in various countries around the world.
So, on the afternoon of the same day that the other side announced the joint military exercise.
China's Operations Department announced that the entire country had entered a level one combat readiness state.
All military forces across the country are on emergency standby, ready to take action at any time to respond to emergencies.
Recall all military personnel on leave and some veterans, and stop all transfer, demobilization and retirement work.
Weapons and equipment will be immediately repaired and inspected to ensure 24-hour communication and the activation of various reconnaissance equipment.
Military-related companies will also be on standby.
Many domestic entertainment facilities will cease operations to maintain basic normal living order.
Moreover, the national border is not completely closed, but all entering vehicles, aircraft and ships are strictly inspected.
It is also to facilitate the collection of supplies in other countries and the return of overseas Chinese, otherwise the border should be completely closed.
Now, not only the countries that announced the military exercises were dumbfounded, but even those who were watching were surprised.
The phones of national leaders and senior officials were flooded with calls.
