I thought the leisurely days would last a long time, but things went against my wishes. Soon, new tasks came one after another, breaking the originally peaceful and leisurely rhythm of life...
On this sunny afternoon, Qin Wan was taking her children to play in the park.
The children were running and playing happily, their laughter echoing in the air. At this moment, Qin Wan suddenly felt as if he stepped on something.
Looking down, I saw a crumpled ball of paper lying there quietly.
A bad premonition suddenly came to her mind, and Qin Wan's heart sank. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable resistance to this seemingly ordinary paper ball.
However, strong curiosity finally drove her to bend down and carefully pick up the paper ball.
After unfolding the paper, a line of words came into view:
"Determine the probability of a Tangshan earthquake!"
These words were like a thunderclap, causing Qin Wan's expression to instantly turn serious. She subconsciously crumpled the note into a ball, as if trying to hide this disturbing news.
Then, she quickly looked around and made sure that no one noticed her actions, then quietly threw the paper ball into the space she carried with her.
Qin Wan's mood became increasingly heavy, and he kept thinking about the line of words he had just seen.
It turned out that she had only recently learned that many important instructions from the Institute of Supernatural Powers were passed down through extremely secretive means. Moreover, those who issued these instructions never used their real names, but instead used mysterious code names.
At first, she was skeptical about this statement, thinking it might be an exaggeration.
But now that she had seen such a mysterious note with her own eyes, she had to believe that everything she had heard before was true.
Full of doubts and worries, Qin Wan hurried back home with her child.
As soon as she entered the room, she didn't even bother to rest and immediately called Director Lin of the Ability Research Institute. After the ringing a few times, Director Lin's familiar and steady voice came from the other end of the line.
Qin Wan asked straight to the point:
"Director Lin, I just received a note about determining the probability of an earthquake in Tangshan. Could you please explain the details to me?"
Director Lin was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Xiao Qin, here's the thing. We recently received an anonymous tip claiming a large-scale earthquake will occur in the Tangshan area in July, and requesting the national government to make advance preparations.
However, the government is currently unable to confirm the authenticity of this information, so they are seeking help from our institute."
After listening to Director Lin’s explanation, Qin Wan frowned and fell into deep thought...
Now this task has been assigned to Qin Wan, asking her to confirm whether this earthquake will really happen.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Wan's originally lively eyes were now filled with solemnity and uneasiness, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.
This earthquake was no ordinary event; it was a catastrophe destined to happen. Its wide impact, high magnitude, and large amplitude would bring unprecedented disaster to the local area.
With a heart full of worries, Qin Wan flashed and entered that mysterious and vast space.
She hurriedly walked towards the study in the corner of the room. The moment she entered the study, she was greeted by a mountain of books that almost filled the entire room.
However, Qin Wan did not hesitate at all and immediately plunged into the mountain of books, eagerly looking for all information related to the earthquake.
After a long search, she finally found dozens of books closely related to earthquakes.
She picked up the books as if they were treasures and began to read them page by page. As time passed, she read every line of the book with full concentration, not missing any details.
Finally, she selected a particularly important report from the numerous materials and carefully took it out of the study.
This report is of great significance to Qin Wan. He obtained it through extremely special and secret channels in his previous life.
The report analyzes in detail the causes of the earthquake, makes accurate predictions about the areas that may be affected, and also estimates the extent of damage that the earthquake will cause.
Every piece of data and every chart in the report are like silent witnesses, silently revealing to people how harsh and ruthless the impending disaster is.
Qin Wan knew very well that as a responsible citizen, she must take action to pass this warning to more people so that they can prepare in advance.
However, making this warning public was no easy task. Earthquake predictions are inherently fraught with uncertainty, and a miscalculated prediction would cause panic and chaos. Furthermore, the scale of the disaster revealed by this prediction was so massive that, if released, it would likely attract widespread attention and skepticism.
Half a month ago, after Qin Wan remembered this shocking incident, his heart was consumed by endless contradictions.
On the one hand, she was clearly aware that she shouldered a heavy responsibility and mission, and if she did not take timely action, the consequences would be disastrous;
On the other hand, she was extremely worried that her rash actions would trigger a series of unexpected troubles, such as causing unnecessary panic among the public and misunderstandings about her personally.
Qin Wan decided to first try to contact a professional earthquake monitoring agency anonymously. After some twists and turns, she finally got through and explained the situation in detail to the other party.
However, to her great disappointment, the other party's response was:
At present, they lack sufficient evidence to support this prediction, so they cannot take further action for the time being.
As time slipped away quietly, every minute and every second that passed seemed like a long torture for Qin Wan.
Her mind was full of bustling and bustling city scenes, but at the same time, her mind kept emerging with the tragic scene of these places being reduced to ruins after being hit by the earthquake.
This strong contrast caused her heart to suffer, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged into her heart like a tide.
Despite this, Qin Wan knew very well in his heart that he absolutely could not stand idly by and remain indifferent at this moment.
