Chapter 330 Earthquake. Reporting Location
Chu An wanted to go and see how Su Ye was doing during the surgery, and there was a high chance that he would meet Li Qing. Hu Zhiyong was still thinking about whether there were any omissions in the finalized list, and if there were any omissions, he would quickly change them while she was still in the hospital, so he followed her downstairs.
As a result, just as the two of them reached the fourth floor, the building began to shake violently, and the two of them hurriedly held onto the nearest railing wall.
Looking at each other, they had a clear understanding in their minds - an earthquake had come, and it was much stronger than the last time.
Then, the floor and walls creaked, as if groaning in pain. A large amount of wall material fell down, and the building was caught by an invisible force and could be crushed at any time.
"There was…an earthquake."
"Run."
I don’t know who shouted first, but then people screamed and ran downstairs in fear.
Soon, the elderly and children were knocked down, and screams were mixed with cries and calls for help, but the people around turned a deaf ear and still desperately squeezed forward.
Hu Zhiyong watched as a 50-year-old grandmother holding a boy of eight or nine was separated by the crowd. The grandmother was knocked down by the iron gate on the way downstairs, and the boy was dragged to the ground before he could get up.
Some people kicked his legs, some stepped on his hands, and some stepped on his thin back.
The boy struggled and cried...but his cries became weaker and weaker...
"Everyone, don't panic, and pay attention to the children under your feet."
"My grandson... woo woo woo..."
The boy's grandmother's forehead was bleeding and her right arm was dislocated. She seemed to feel no pain, crawled up on her knees, and tried to push through the crowd with one hand. But her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree to these people.
Hu Zhiyong's eyes instantly turned red, and he pushed forward desperately while shouting, "Don't step on the children, watch your step."
Then, more people were taken down, one, two... five... all of them were frail old people, women and children. Their tragic cries were more frightening than the shaking building.
Just as the crowd was in a panic, dozens of purple-red vines passed under the feet of the running crowd, first wrapped around the injured boy's waist and brought him to his grandmother, and then removed the door panels to create a triangle area for the fallen person.
It was moving so fast that people were so focused on running down that they didn't notice it at all.
Even people with keen vision would only feel a purple-red shadow in front of their eyes and would not have time to look closely.
Chu An saved the people she could see, and she and Hu Zhiyong were also squeezed to the second floor by the crowd. Hu Zhiyong finally came to the grandfather and grandson, and first checked the boy's injuries. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
Boom——
Another tremor struck, and everyone was so frightened that they could not move. They could only hold on to the people around them or the handrails, and watch the objects around them fall.
"Fuck, the door is blocked and we can't get out of the first floor." Someone shouted downstairs.
"Don't push down, or you'll be crushed to death in front of you."
"My legs are stuck."
"I...I can't breathe..."
"Save me..."
The people at the back couldn't hear anything at all and kept rushing down. There were also people coming up from the underground floor, and all the pressure was put on the first floor, and the situation got out of control again.
The second shock wore off in about 15 seconds.
Chu An stood behind Hu Zhiyong, trying to give him some space.
Suddenly her cell phone rang. She hung up without even looking at who was calling, then put on her headphones and started a group chat.
Gu Ye was the first to answer, followed by Zhuona, Li Qing and Yin Tianlin.
"Xiao An, how are you?"
"Xiao An, where are you?"
Everyone's voices of concern rang out at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time. Chu An took advantage of this gap to speak quickly.
"I'm fine. Listen, the houses on the base won't collapse. Don't run outside recklessly. Be careful of the scattered furniture and door panels. Find a safe triangle and stay there.
Gu Ye, you can't stay in the villa, go to the open space outside and ask Old Man Wei and the others to come out. Be careful not to get hit and try to avoid the bugs in the cracks in the ground.
Don’t go alone to rescue others. If you are in danger, tell me in the group chat. Don’t hang up the phone. Everyone stay connected.”
She couldn't guarantee that everyone would listen to her. From time to time, her phone was filled with the chaotic sounds of other people, most of whom were desperately trying to escape.
"receive."
"good."
"good."
After just three seconds of waiting, everyone's replies came one after another. No one questioned it, and I suddenly had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
She took a deep breath and said, "Well, everyone, report your positions."
Yin Tianlin, "Ward 1107, safety triangle."
Zhuona, "It's under the table at home. It's safe."
Tang smiled, "Under the table, safe."
Li Qing, "The operating room on the second floor below ground is temporarily... safe."
The last one to reply was Gu Ye, "I have come out with Uncle Wei and the others. We are safe for now."
Hu Zhiyong used the door panel to block the two of them, then stood up to look for Chu An. Seeing that she was still by his side, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I have to go to the second floor below ground. A doctor in the operating room is injured and needs support. Be careful."
Su Ye was in surgery, and Li Qing was there too, "I'll go with you."
Chu An put his phone into the Little Bee. It was too big and inconvenient to hold, but the group chat was still open.
She bet that Tang Chen had taken earthquakes into consideration when building the base, so it should be safer inside the building than outside.
But... I’m worried that changes in the underground structure will affect the underground operating room.
