Chapter 169 Earthquake 1



If you're riding in the same car as Wang Xiyou, you should definitely prepare air freshener to prevent someone from having bad breath.

Wang Xiyou rolled his eyes, revealing a large expanse of white in his eyes.

Knowing that the two did not get along and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Wang left immediately after giving his instructions.

Wang Xiyou's makeup was much heavier than Lu Wanzheng's, and it took longer to remove.

Lu Wanzheng left the RV first and went back to the rented house with Xiaohua.

On the way, Xiaohua took out her phone and told Lu Wanzheng the message she had just seen.

"Sister Wanzheng, there was another earthquake in Lecheng a few hours ago."

“Our equipment should be delivered soon.” Lu Wanzheng was thinking of the equipment she had discussed with Shu Mi.

"Sister Wanzheng, that's not what I wanted to say. Lecheng isn't too far from here, but we should still be careful."

Xiao Hua's reminder made Lu Wanzheng realize this point. Lecheng was indeed quite close to their current location, but it was still several tens of kilometers away. It shouldn't be affected, but they still needed to be prepared.

"When you get back, pack some water and food in your bag. Be careful. Don't sleep too soundly tonight; we're leaving tomorrow."

"good."

Xiaohua prayed that tonight would be peaceful so they could leave tomorrow.

Lu Wanzheng returned to her room and tidied up the few things she had recently taken out. Since she hadn't taken out many things, she tidied them up very quickly.

Just in case, she packed her luggage in advance into the nanny van that would take her away the next day.

Xiaohua bought two bottles of water and some cookies, which she put in her backpack. She kept the bag next to her when she went to sleep that night.

Although it is not recommended to carry personal belongings during an earthquake, these items can be lifesavers if you are unable to escape in time.

...

As night fell, the sky became as dark as ink.

It was the time when people were fast asleep.

At first, the house began to shake slightly, almost imperceptibly, and the sleeping villagers did not notice anything amiss.

But soon, the shaking of the house became more violent, and those who were light sleepers were the first to notice something was wrong.

The violently shaking house jolted them awake. Before they could even put on their clothes, they woke up their families and ran outside to the open space.

The village chief of Kongjia Village looked at the few shirtless, strong men who had run out first, and divided them into two teams, assigning them tasks: "One group should sound the alarm and wake up the villagers. The other group should clear the village to an open space."

"Yes!" came the unified male voices. At the same time, the strong men quickly separated, some sounding the alarm, others knocking on doors. Time was of the essence; they just wanted to wake up as many people as possible. Some even found a gong somewhere and ran around banging it, just to wake up more people from their sleep.

"Earthquake! Get up quickly!"

"Clang clang clang~" The sound of gongs rose into the sky, and the huge sound reverberated throughout the village, which should have been asleep long ago.

Many people turned on their lights because of the noise outside, and immediately realized that something was wrong. Both men and women hurriedly put on their shoes and ran outside.

There was no time to grab anything.

People gradually emerged from their houses, but those who escaped the most were often the villagers from the lower floors.

The shaking of the house intensified, and even the villagers who had already escaped felt the ground shaking and found it difficult to stand.

The magnitude of the earthquake is constantly increasing, and no one knows exactly how high it will reach.

At present, the only option is to get everyone out of high-risk areas.

The village chief remained calm in the face of danger and led the village cadres to direct the evacuation of the villagers.
