Qin Xiu carried Yingying on his shoulders and watched Mayor Chen Guodong and a team of patrolmen running out of the building carrying many boxes.
He looked extremely nervous, as if he was racing against time.
"Apart from everyone's complaints, I didn't hear any rumbling sounds!"
Qin Yufei looked around in confusion and found Lu Mei who was also looking around.
"Xiao Xiu, look! Aunt Lu is over there. Let's go ask her! She works at a breeding farm, so maybe she knows something."
Qin Yufei pulled her younger brother through the crowded crowd and walked towards Lu Mei on the other side.
In fact, Lu Mei and Shi Huan had no idea what the situation was!
When they were taking hay to feed the rabbits in the rabbit house, suddenly several special police officers ran to the breeding department and shouted loudly.
They told everyone to put down their work and gather at the open space on the first floor! The broadcast was so noisy that I couldn't hear clearly!
"Aunt Lu! Could it be another earthquake? The last time the authorities did this it seemed like an earthquake!"
Shi Huan lowered his voice and spoke into Lu Mei's ear.
"No way! Old Chen went out with the official cleanup team this morning. Wouldn't the place where the earthquake happened be more dangerous?"
Lu Mei's face turned pale instantly. After being reminded by Shi Huan, she thought, is there really going to be an earthquake?
What should Lao Chen do? He was told not to go but he refused to listen. Now it’s really bad. He is so anxious!
"Aunt Lu, I'm just guessing, don't get angry. We were shaking during the last earthquake! Now there's nothing happening, I must have guessed wrong!"
Shi Huan took Lu Mei's arm and quickly tried to make amends for himself.
Isn't she just bringing up things that are not related to the topic?
I knew that Uncle Chen had gone to the earthquake area with the main force this morning. Why did I mention the earthquake to Aunt Lu at this critical moment?
“It seems like it’s not shaking!”
Lu Mei looked down at the ground beneath her feet and found that it did not shake, so it might not be an earthquake. However, as soon as she thought about it, her frown immediately relaxed.
"Aunt Lu! Shi Huan!" Qin Yufei shouted to Lu Mei and the others from a distance.
Lu Mei and Shi Huan looked up at the same time and saw Qin Yufei and the others.
"Yu Fei! Qin Xiu!"
"And our little Yingying!"
Lu Mei waved vigorously at the three people who were moving through the crowd.
"You guys are here to exchange some things today, right? Are Coco and Grandma Qiao here?"
After a few people approached, Lu Mei asked first.
"I wonder if Coco has woken up yet. When we came out, Grandma Qiao said she was still sleeping!"
"I've told Grandma Qiao about the official exchange discounts, and asked them to come as early as possible to stock up on food and daily necessities! If they're late, they might be gone, especially at the pork stall, which has a long line."
"Oh yeah! Why did the authorities suddenly ask us to come down? We couldn't hear it clearly on the radio!"
Qin Yufei spoke for a long time in one breath, and only remembered what she wanted to ask at the end?
Lu Mei shook her head. "We don't know either! Shi Huan and I were called down by the special police while we were at work!"
"Everyone please be quiet and quickly line up in groups of ten. The mayor has something to say to everyone!"
The staff held a loud speaker in their hands and shouted loudly to the crowd.
“Why do we have to queue?”
“We have to queue up for the mayor to give a speech?”
Everyone complained verbally, but their bodies were still quite obedient. They complained while looking for people nearby to form a team.
Qin Xiu and a few others followed the crowd and lined up at the end of the third team.
Before Chen Guodong began his speech, the patrolmen had already started unpacking the boxes, preparing to open the floating escape ball.
After a floating escape ball is opened, it can accommodate seven people.
"What is this? It looks like a balloon!"
"Are there balloons this big? They look more like camping tents to me!"
"What is the official trying to do? They are making it so mysterious!"
Amid the discussion of the crowd, Chen Guodong picked up the loudspeaker and began to speak.
"Everyone! We have discovered that Lingcheng City has been hit by a super strong tsunami. It is spreading to the surrounding areas at the fastest speed."
"It is estimated that the tsunami will reach our Arashiyama area in ten minutes. Now, please don't panic and cooperate with the patrolman to enter the escape ball."
As soon as Chen Guodong said this, the scene suddenly became lively.
Most people have never encountered a tsunami, but many people have seen disaster movies and TV series. Some tsunamis can rise to dozens of meters high, and entire cities can be shattered in an instant. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps.
The tsunami was so terrifying! Everyone was so anxious that some even rushed to the front of the line to get into the escape ball as soon as possible.
There were also some family members who had followed the official team to work in the urban area in the morning, and hearing the news was like a bolt from the blue.
"Old Chen...Old Chen is in the city! Then...the tsunami will not flood him, right?"
"No, I have to save him!"
Lu Mei suddenly panicked and walked out of the queue muttering to herself.
"Yes! I'm going to go back and drive the electric tricycle. I'm sure I can find Lao Chen!"
"Aunt Lu! Uncle Chen is a lucky man, and he will be fine! Don't worry, a tsunami is different from an earthquake. If you go there now, you will die, and it will be useless!"
Qin Xiu followed Lu Mei out of the team and brought the distraught Lu Mei back.
Qin Yufei rolled her eyes at her younger brother, disliking that he spoke too directly!
She brought Yingying and Shi Huan together and pulled Lu Mei, "Aunt Lu! You really can't go now! Xiao Xiu spoke bluntly, but he did make sense."
"The tsunami is no joke. Mayor Chen said it will reach us in ten minutes. We must protect ourselves first so we can have a chance to see our families!"
"I don't know where Meng Yi and Chen Li are on duty?"
Shi Huan felt nervous and held Lu Mei's hand tighter.
"Chen Li! That's right! I have to let him think of a way to save his father!"
Only then did Lu Mei remember that she had a son!
This guy went out to work early in the morning and there has been no sign of him since then. Looking at the busy patrolmen in front, neither of them is Chen Li or Meng Yi.
Chen Li and Meng Yi were called by Xiao Liu from the basement to move the equipment to the rooftop.
At this moment, they are running up and down the stairs at the fastest speed!
Many people have already entered the escape ball at the scene. No one knows what material this ball is made of. It is transparent in appearance and it is said that the oxygen inside can be used for 48 hours.
"Mom! This balloon is so big and beautiful! Do we want to go in and play with it too?"
Yingying pointed at those who had entered the escape ball and asked Qin Yufei happily.
"Yingying! This is called an escape ball! It's our tool for escaping from tsunamis, not for playing with!"
Qin Yufei picked up Yingying, her heart pounding. She was afraid of the coming tsunami, but also a little excited. Everyone should be safe in this ball!
"Hurry up, those of you behind me! The tsunami is coming! Why are you still standing there?"
When Qin Xiu and his companions were called by the patrolman, they realized that the people in front of them were gone.
There were only transparent escape balls floating around them.
Qin Xiu looked at the people inside, some of whom had distorted expressions and were crying bitterly. He thought that it must not be very comfortable to stay in this escape ball!
