Chapter 274 Going Out
The residential areas in the Second Ring Road were built during extremely cold weather and have strong earthquake resistance. When an earthquake struck, they bought time for people in the buildings to escape, so almost everyone living in the Second Ring Road was evacuated safely.
But the people living in the Third Ring Road residential area were obviously not so lucky, especially those houses that were built within three months in order to meet the deadline.
Not only were we in a hurry, but we also lost the guidance of technical backbones such as Tang Jun.
It collapsed almost immediately after the first shock, leaving no chance for anyone in the building to react.
As for those who were built first, many of them ran away, but because the population density in the Third Ring Road residential area was too high, trampling was inevitable when they fled.
Only one-third of the residents in the Third Ring Road escaped from the first earthquake.
The base accommodated the escaped refugees on an empty field. It was not appropriate to run around until the earthquake stopped.
The earthquake lasted for a whole month, with several small earthquakes almost every two hours. After five or six small earthquakes, a big earthquake would come.
The extreme vibration made the people lying in the safe house roll around like eggs in a box, without even the courage to stand up and walk around.
Yu Duoduo used the intercom to tell others to pile soft cushions and other things against the wall as much as possible, so as to reduce the risk of hitting the head when falling asleep.
As for the people on the ground, they had to endure the scorching sun in the extremely hot weather while watching the concrete houses not far away being torn apart by the earthquake...
That was the home they had just settled down in, but it was gone in the blink of an eye, and they were deeply devastated mentally.
In the later stages of the earthquake, the ground began to collapse in some areas of the base.
On the west side of the base, just behind the western mall, there was a huge crack more than ten meters wide and hundreds of meters long, as if the earth had opened its bloody mouth and was begging for food from the ground.
Within a day, the collapse swallowed up more than a dozen buildings on the second ring road that were on the cracks, as well as tens of thousands of people who took refuge nearby...
As for the western mall, it was half hanging on the edge of the crack, teetering on the verge of collapse...
It was not until time slowly entered July that the earth's rage gradually subsided.
After riding the rocking car for a whole month, those who survived have almost gotten used to eating, drinking, and going to the toilet steadily while being rocked.
It was inevitable that people living underground felt a little uncomfortable seeing the sun again, but they were still shocked when they saw the devastated base.
More than half of the buildings in the base were uprooted and collapsed, including those in the first and second rings.
As the earthquake continued, most of the officers and soldiers who entered the rubble to rescue people were killed. Many bodies were embedded between the collapsed buildings, and there was no one to clean them up.
But the people in the disaster have limited memory, and those whose houses are still intact have returned to their homes.
Those who lost their homes but managed to survive moved into temporary sheds built by the authorities, waiting for the next rescue effort, just like children waiting for food to be fed.
After safely surviving the earthquake, Building 99 where Yu Duoduo and her friends lived did not collapse. This building was one of the half of the houses in the base that were left behind by the God of Destiny.
But all the furniture and belongings that Tong Zi and his friends, as well as Brother Wang and his friends, had left upstairs were smashed to pieces in the earthquake, and the house looked as if it had been robbed by brutal bandits.
It didn't matter to Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun. No objects were stored in either the second floor or the underground safe house. All daily food had already been put into the space.
In the days after the earthquake, the base began to rebuild and Le Yan went back to work.
After all, no matter what kind of natural disaster occurs, solving the problem of food for the people should always be the top priority.
Tong Zi and Brother Wang both started to clean up the mess, while Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun began to prepare for the next horrible natural disaster that was about to come.
It was approaching August, which was the time when Yu Duoduo was closest to death in her previous life. Suffocating nightmares began to sneak into her nights again, causing tiny buds of fear to grow deep in her heart.
As a doctor, Xie Yun can easily capture people's emotions, because this most elusive thing is often the culprit of physical abnormalities.
"Duoduo, you haven't been sleeping well recently. Do you want me to prescribe some Chinese medicine for you to adjust it?"
Yu Duoduo looked at the vast ruins outside without saying a word.
This scene is exactly the same as the previous life, with broken walls and miserable desolation.
"If you're worried about the tsunami, how about I fly a helicopter with you to the coast to check out the situation?"
It was not until he heard him say this that Yu Duoduo reacted.
Indeed, instead of worrying here, it is better to go out and see the situation outside, maybe you will find some turning point.
Yu Duoduo took Xie Yun out of the base through the teleportation mirror, found a relatively flat land outside the base, and took out a two-seater helicopter.
Xie Yun checked in, and the two of them flew the plane toward the east coast...
Xie Yun did not fly the plane very high, but kept it flying at a low altitude. Along the way, there were collapsed houses and cracked mountains and rivers. The cities and forests of the past were no longer there.
The earth is full of holes, which makes people unable to bear the sight.
The plane flew for more than two hours and gradually came into view the shadow of the sea.
But that sea was different from the sea in his impression, and even more different from the sea in Yu Duoduo's space.
It is black.
Moreover, the interface between the sea and the land looks very abnormal...
As far as Yu Duoduo could see, he didn't see any beach.
The black sea water is actually directly connected to the coastal cities and interior!
Yu Duoduo searched carefully in the area below the plane, but she didn't find any human figure in the coastal city for a long time, so...did the entire city migrate?
"Look ahead and into the distance." Xie Yun reminded softly.
Yu Duoduo looked over and saw a 5-meter-high wave sweeping in from a distance, heading straight for the city center...
"What are those black things?" Yu Duoduo stared at the black substance floating on the sea and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Xie Yun lowered the plane a little, and Yu Duoduo took out a telescope from the space and put it on to carefully observe the sea surface.
"Is it... oil?" Yu Duoduo was shocked. This thing looked oily, and she had seen this kind of scene on the Internet before. So was this an oil leak caused by the earthquake?
But... this scene is too horrifying!
I raised the telescope and looked from near to far, and within the visible range... it was all black!
