In the urban area of Lingcheng, rows of high-rise buildings collapsed in an instant, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
"There's an earthquake..."
"Ah... help me... help me..."
Early in the morning, people who had just gone out to find something to do saw the ground suddenly shake and then quickly crack. They were so scared that they quickly ran away to avoid the cracks.
"Everyone, don't panic! Run to an open area!"
“Boom…boom boom boom…”
The whistles of the official patrol team and the shouts of the team leader were all drowned out by the rumble of the surrounding houses collapsing.
There are many people like Su Keke in the previous life, who live in high-rise buildings in the community and have no time to run away when the earthquake starts.
They could only watch as the ground around them continued to crack apart and objects kept falling on their heads. There was nothing they could do except scream for help in a heart-wrenching voice.
There was nowhere to escape or hide. Many people were crushed to death by the collapsed buildings.
At this time, those who lived in the suburbs without high-rise buildings around were relatively lucky. At least when the earthquake just happened, they still had time to run out of the house.
The scope of this earthquake was very large. Not only the city of Lingcheng was affected, but also many surrounding towns such as Haicheng, Longcheng, Wuwa Town, Qingyun Town, etc., also experienced earthquakes of varying degrees.
…
Although the Arashiyama area was not at the center of the earthquake, it was still greatly affected.
Everyone on Arashiyama could feel the entire ground shaking.
The bottles, jars, lamps, cabinets and other things in the house seemed to be suddenly pulled by something, and were swaying from side to side with clanging sounds.
At this time, the official patrol team and the special police disaster relief team have entered an emergency state of preparedness.
Each of them wore a safety helmet and held a loud speaker in their hand. They shouted loudly under every building in the base, asking people to take shelter in open areas.
In fact, the situation in Arashiyama is relatively good. The houses are shaking slightly, the ground is not cracked, and no landslides have been found so far.
However, for safety reasons, Mayor Chen Guodong still asked all residents of the base to come out and gather at the official unified shelter.
In the Lanshan villa area, except for the Du family and Qin Xiu, the other owners were so scared that they were walking around in circles at home.
When Chen Guodong and Liu Zhicai came to his house that day, Mr. Du learned from them that there might be an earthquake.
After considering many aspects, Mr. Du reluctantly agreed to the official proposal to open the villa area.
He said that if the official base really had no place to accommodate the victims, the Du family could let the victims move into the Lanshan villa area.
The Du family will build a resettlement area for disaster victims, and the resettled victims are not allowed to move around outside the resettlement area for no reason.
Moreover, Mr. Du also asked the government for a patrol team to be responsible for the security within the community.
After this matter was finalized, Grandpa Du has been preparing for how to deal with the earthquake, and the family has also conducted earthquake drills at home many times.
While others were still at home, not knowing what to do, the Du family had already run to the open space in the villa area, squatting there waiting for the earthquake to pass or for official rescue.
Faced with this sudden earthquake, Qin Xiu's reaction was no slower than Grandpa Du's, as he had dreamed of earthquakes.
In order to be able to run away as soon as possible, Qin Xiu always put a large backpack within his reach. The backpack contained compressed biscuits, mineral water, common medicines, quick-drying clothes, and other necessities for escaping from natural disasters.
Although in his dream, the Arashiyama villa complex did not collapse in the earthquake, he was still afraid of the possibility.
If the house here could not hold up, he would immediately grab his backpack and leave quickly with his sister and Yingying.
When Qin Xiu heard the first loud rumbling sound in his room, he immediately realized that there was an earthquake.
Without a moment's hesitation, he picked up the backpack he had prepared long ago and rushed towards Qin Yufei's room.
"Sister! Hurry up and pick up Yingying! An earthquake is coming!"
"What's happening?" Qin Yufei in the room had just helped Yingying put on her clothes when she heard a loud noise and then the bed began to shake.
She thought she had anemia from staying up late to read novels these days. Otherwise, why would she feel the bed shaking until she heard her brother's shout.
"Is there really an earthquake? Then...what should we do? Where should we run?" Qin Yufei asked in panic.
Qin Xiu hugged Yingying, who had just woken up, into his arms and ran downstairs with his sister.
"Let's run out of the villa first. My car is outside. There's still a lot of open space there. Let's talk in the car first."
Bang! When the three of them passed the entrance on the first floor, a large vase suddenly fell from the cabinet.
"Ah..." Qin Yufei screamed, and there were glass fragments all around her feet. Fortunately, the vase was slightly off target.
Now, the entire villa area is in a mess. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao have already opened the capsule house in the space.
Only when there is space in the capsule house can the time be synchronized with the outside world.
"Mom! Uncle! There's a balloon in the sky!"
Just as Su Keke drove the capsule house over Villa No. 6, Yingying, who was being carried outside by Qin Xiu, saw a golden capsule flying in the sky, which looked like a balloon in the child's eyes.
"Where are the balloons now?"
Qin Yufei looked up and said, "Ouch!" The ground shook and Qin Yufei almost sprained her ankle.
After putting Yingying in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, Qin Xiu looked up at the sky. It seemed like there was something like a capsule floating farther and farther away in the sky.
"Are all children nowadays so good-looking?"
Su Keke was in the capsule house, watching the surveillance footage, which showed Qin Xiu looking up at the sky.
"Let's go! Let's go check on Aunt Lu! There's basically nothing wrong here in the villa area!"
Su Keke instructed the capsule to head towards the official base and double its altitude.
There are a lot of messy testing instruments at the official base, and it would be bad if the capsule house was discovered.
Lu Mei and Shi Huan had already followed the patrol team out of the official office building. Now they could only take care of the people first, and let the chickens, ducks, geese and other animals run around everywhere.
Su Keke also saw on the TV surveillance camera several cows running towards the villa area.
There were so many people running out of the official office building that Su Keke and Grandma Qiao stared at the screen for most of the day before they found Lu Mei and Shi Huan.
"I'm glad everything is alright!" Grandma Qiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was alright.
"Chen Li and Meng Yi are on patrol. Are they in danger?"
Su Keke saw that Grandma Qiao's brows had just relaxed, but after a while she started to worry again.
"Granny Qiao, don't underestimate them. They have been patrolling for more than a year. They know how to protect themselves!"
"Really? Are these two kids so capable?" Grandma Qiao muttered in disbelief.
While the two were talking, Su Keke saw Qian Xiaoluo on the surveillance screen.
