Chapter 320 Let’s Welcome the First Thunder
Because the earthquakes this year were full of uncertainties, even those who were reborn were not sure where the earthquakes would occur and where they would not. They also did not know whether a major earthquake would occur at the workplace of Jing's mother and father in this life. In short, Jingshu was very worried about leaving her parents in an unknown area.
Is there any reasonable way to get my parents to not go to work and still make them realize the seriousness of the situation? I can arrange a backup plan to make sure their lives are safe before I deal with these things.
Just forget about the ridiculous excuse of having a dream where a disaster happened.
As for Jingshu, she could get the people back immediately, but what about the next few days? As for the earthquake, at most there would be aftershocks, but we still had to get to work. The apocalypse had arrived, and now that the rain had stopped, it was time for sixty days of hard work. Even if there was an earthquake, the most we could do was be careful at work and run away as soon as it happened...
No, at the beginning no one understood how terrible the earthquake was that year. There were many collapsed places that looked fine on the surface, but they were completely sunken as soon as you walked past them.
Jingshu was walking back and forth in the living room. Jingye was listening to Peking Opera, which was a rare occasion in the morning. He was sitting in a massage chair, squinting his eyes and watching the real-time news on TV.
Oh yes, now the TV can only receive two channels, one is CCTV-1, and the other is local real-time news, which broadcasts the latest local situation 24 hours a day and can also be viewed in the mobile phone big data.
Ever since Jack Ma launched big data, it has basically monopolized and combined all types of information, and successfully merged with WeChat, becoming a super data that integrates live broadcast, data, personal, and financial management. The most amazing thing is that it can create different panels based on different levels of personal authority.
Generally, it is divided into civilian version and VIP version. Jingshu was fortunate to become the VIP level 1 version, which indicates that she is now a symbol of status and power.
However, despite this, the government still insists on supplying electricity to the people. From 7pm to 7:30pm every day, the electricity usage time is only 30 minutes, mainly for watching the news, and then turning on the air conditioner to keep warm and charge mobile phones and power banks.
However, Jingshu later learned that this was to supplement the light elements in electric lamps. Otherwise, people would get various diseases if they were without sunlight for a long time. It also allowed the eyes to adapt, otherwise they would go blind when there was light in the future.
Both Wucheng News and international news reported that the heavy rain had finally stopped. Countless people went out to cheer, and too many people shed tears of emotion. At the same time, the water level in the center of Wucheng was receding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"...According to reports, after the floods recede, the government will allow residents to return to their original homes in batches to alleviate the housing shortages in several major areas of Wucheng, such as Xishan, Xiangjiao, and the new district. There are also awkward situations where over 20 people are squeezed into one apartment, a family lives in one parking space in the basement, or a family of three lives in one basement."
"As the floods recede, district governments are preparing to create tens of thousands of jobs and build new cities. In the increasingly cold weather, governments must make all necessary preparations to keep warm. Experts predict the coming year will be a delayed winter, with spring not expected until the year after. Therefore, the Wucheng government has decided to implement centralized heating when temperatures exceed -10°C. Please refer to the relevant documents for relevant regulations..."
Jingshu sighed. The expert was only half right. The next year would be winter, but it would only be a drizzle winter in the next few years. It would not reach the extreme cold level.
Jing Ye clapped his hands and laughed, "The government is finally going to relocate everyone. That's great! We finally have a place to live. We've been crammed into one place all day, almost suffocating. I used to think it was too quiet, but now it's worse. All year long, there's all sorts of noises going on. They've even disturbed me, an old man, and I can't sleep. There's also all sorts of ghosts howling. That's okay, but people keep pooping and peeing near the villa... I have to clean up the base of the wall every day."
Jingshu chuckled twice but said nothing. The city center of Wucheng was about to disappear, and these people couldn't move away. Not only this group of people couldn't move away, but they would also have to hide from place to place.
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside, hitting Jingshu's heart. Along with the thunder, Jingshu also fell to the ground with a thud, which scared Jingye.
"Shu, you
"What's going on? Don't scare me, I'm fine." Jingye stopped the massage chair and got down to see what was going on.
Jingshu held her head in pain and said, "Grandpa, my head hurts so much, my head hurts so badly, and my ears don't work well either. Please call my parents and ask them to come back."
"Okay, okay, please don't be sick, kid. I'll call that girl right now."
Jing Ye ran out happily, and the fat chicken slipped in like a thief, shook the few sparse feathers it had just grown, and looked at Jing Shu with contempt, as if to say: "Don't pretend, I can see it clearly."
Suddenly, another thunder roared.
"Cluck, cluck!" The fat chicken flapped its wings in fear and fell into Jingshu's arms, leaving its fat butt trembling outside.
Jingshu grabbed the feathers on the fat chicken's butt with one hand, lifted it up and threw it on the sofa. Then she leaned over and used the fat chicken as a pillow, lying down on it. She found a comfortable position and lay down, watching the news while listening to the noise outside.
Not to mention, the fat chicken's new feathers were soft, comfortable, and very resilient, so she couldn't pull them off even if she tried hard.
"It's better to pretend to be sick. You have to think of other ways to make up for the headache." Jingshu felt that this was the least troublesome. Her parents would naturally listen to reasonable requests. If it was unreasonable or too far-fetched to keep someone, her parents might be a little confused. Of course, if this happened before the end of the world, if there was a sudden earthquake, work would probably be stopped, but rescue workers would still be dispatched, as well as search and rescue personnel.
But now, the whole world is crazy about the earthquake and there is no way to save them. The living are more important than the dead. At this time, the living are facing the danger of survival, so the government must of course settle the living first.
So whatever you do should be reasonable.
I don't know what Jingye said, but it was almost time. When Jingshu finished three bags of Lay's potato chips and was thinking about growing more potatoes and making some potato chips herself, Jing's father and mother both came back.
Grandma Jing stopped changing her clothes, and Grandpa Jing stopped listening to Peking Opera. The whole family surrounded Jingshu. Grandma Jing brought her some red date water and asked Jingshu to drink more hot water from time to time, thinking that maybe drinking more hot water would help. Jingshu accepted all the offers and gulped down two glasses of water.
The first thing my parents asked when they got home was, "What happened to Jingshu?"
