"Ah... bobcat... bobcat..."
Lin Xiao's face flushed red, and before he could run to the mountain cat, he was knocked far away by the crowd that rushed over.
"Boss... hurry up... it's too late! If we don't leave now, we will be caught up by the tsunami!"
"The Bobcat won't blame us!"
Mengzi didn't know which direction he came from, he dragged Lin Xiao and ran desperately in the opposite direction.
The scene was as chaotic as a pot of boiling porridge, with screams and cries everywhere. However, in an instant, the screams and cries were swallowed up by the huge waves.
The huge waves are like the sky, so big that it is suffocating.
All buildings, whether collapsed or not, appear particularly small against this giant screen.
Chen Da and Lei Mu, father and son, had already climbed onto the truck by this time. They were so tired that they sat down in the truck bed, breathing heavily.
Besides the people running madly behind the truck, there were also huge waves chasing closely.
"Wait for us... don't abandon us..."
"Help us! We'll be here soon!"
When the truck driver saw the huge waves sweeping towards him, he dared not stop and wait for people. If he didn't drive away, everyone in the car would die.
He had done his best, as the other drivers had already fled.
Lin Xiao was originally running faster than Chen Da and the others, but he turned back to look for Bobcat, which resulted in him being separated by the crowd.
Now, even though he and Mengzi used all their strength to run back, they were still a little distance away from the only truck that was still there.
"Driver, please wait a moment, my friends are right behind us, I can see them!"
"It's only two meters away. I told them to run faster. Master, please don't drive!"
"No! I can't wait any longer! Don't blame me!"
No matter how much Chen Da and Lei Mu begged the driver, the driver said he couldn't wait and had already started the truck.
"Lin Xiao, Mengzi! Run as fast as you can, we will pull you up!"
There are only about ten people on the huge truck now. Compared with how crowded it was when we came here, it really makes one sigh at the impermanence of life.
There were many people running after Lin Xiao, so Chen Da and his men had the territorial advantage.
They were closest to the truck and the tsunami was the farthest from them, so they had time to escape!
"Mengzi, follow me quickly and jump onto the truck together!"
"Success or failure depends on this jump! I believe Uncle Chen and the others will be able to catch us!"
Lin Xiao knew that if they continued running, they would only get farther and farther away from the truck. If they didn't try their best, they would be swallowed up by the huge waves behind them.
"Okay! I'll listen to the boss!" Mengzi said, panting.
In fact, he no longer had the energy to run, and he knew in his heart that he probably couldn't run away.
But at this time he couldn't say anything discouraging, and couldn't let the boss worry about him. Mengzi knew that the boss would definitely be able to jump onto the truck, and he himself was already exhausted.
"Uncle Chen! We are here!"
Following Lin Xiao's shout, he and Mengzi leaped forward desperately.
"Boss... Goodbye..."
Mengzi jumped up with two tears in his eyes and said goodbye to Lin Xiao silently in his heart.
"Mengzi...Mengzi..." When the two jumped up, Lin Xiao clearly felt that Mengzi was much slower than him, and the distance was not far enough.
Mengzi was shorter than Lin Xiao, and was exhausted, so Chen Da and Lei Mu in the car could only hold Lin Xiao's hand.
"Mengzi! Why didn't you come up! Mengzi! It's all my fault..."
At the rear of the truck, Chen Da and Lei Mu grabbed the rear cargo box with one hand and held Lin Xiao tightly with the other.
Lei Wenbin lay alone in the truck bed and dragged Chen Da and Lei Mu's feet.
This is the only way to ensure that the person pulling someone will not be dragged out of the truck by the person being pulled.
"Wenbin! Hurry up and help us pull Lin Xiao up."
The truck was driving very fast, and Lin Xiao, who was hanging on the rear of the truck, was thrown dizzy.
The other seven or eight people on the truck hid in the front of the truck and watched coldly. No one came to help pull it.
Chen Da, Lei Mu and Lei Wenbin took great pains to drag the crying Lin Xiao onto the truck.
"Wow, wow, wow...Uncle Chen...Mengzi is gone...Shanmao is gone...Dongzi is also missing..."
"Wow, wow, wow...my brothers are all gone..."
Lin Xiao lay at the rear of the car, watching Mengzi going further and further away, his heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife.
Soon, he saw Mengzi and other people who were still running being swallowed up by a huge wave!
Lin Xiao slapped himself twice, feeling indescribably miserable. If Mengzi hadn't turned back to look for him, he would have definitely been on the truck with Uncle Chen and the others.
It was all his fault. He was impulsive and overestimated his own abilities. Not only did he fail to save the mountain cat, but he also lost his life in the dive.
Dongzi also disappeared, and the good brothers were torn apart in an instant.
Chen Da and the others didn't know how to comfort Lin Xiao, so they could only accompany him silently.
Although these people are temporarily safe, there is no guarantee that the truck can run faster than the tsunami.
Looking at the waves still surging in the distance, everyone's heart was pounding.
The tsunami was so terrible, it was even more lethal than an earthquake. Of the hundreds of people who rushed out in the morning, it is estimated that less than fifty survived.
Their truck was the last one, and the driver still had some conscience. He waited for Chen Da and his men to get on the car before starting it.
Otherwise, Chen Daleimu and others would have been buried under these ruthless waves.
…
Municipal office building.
When the tsunami hit Lingcheng city, it was already detected by instruments.
In order not to cause panic among ordinary residents in the building, Mayor Chen Guodong ordered the special police and patrol officers in the building to quickly split into two groups.
A group of people, led by Chen Guodong himself, went to the basement of the office building to get the floating escape ball that could save people.
The content of the anonymous letter disappeared when the earthquake occurred. Liu Zhicai and his followers believed that the natural disaster must have ended there.
But Chen Guodong was not so optimistic. He thought of many possibilities, such as the person who wrote the anonymous letter retained some information and did not reveal it completely, or the person who wrote the anonymous letter only predicted this much.
There was even an extremely terrifying and incredible idea in Chen Guodong's mind, that is, the person who wrote the anonymous letter had actually died in a future earthquake.
She traveled through time and space to write this anonymous letter!
"Mayor! We're here!"
When they arrived at the door of the basement, Xiao Liu saw Chen Guodong thinking about something, so he quickly reminded him that it was urgent and there could be no delay.
The basement was built in a relatively secretive manner, and only a few senior officials knew about it. The most important military equipment of Lingcheng officials and escape tools for emergencies were stored in it.
There are only two keys to open the door, one is with Mayor Chen Guodong, and the other is with Municipal Party Committee Secretary Liu Zhicai.
