Chen Niansheng felt that it might be safer abroad, so he agreed to let them stay abroad. He himself followed the government's arrangements and took his parents and son with the main force to move to a safe area in the central inland region to avoid the tsunami.
As for the eldest daughter, Chen Zhizhi, she is currently pregnant with the Zuo family's grandson. The Zuo family takes good care of her and will make proper arrangements for her.
At this moment, Li Zhenzhen and her two children deeply regretted their initial choice. The disaster in Country M was extremely severe, with most of the country submerged.
Moreover, the tsunami triggered a very strong earthquake, causing a natural chasm to break through the land of the United States. Under this double blow, the disaster resulted in countless deaths and injuries in the United States, a truly tragic sight.
Because of her distrust of the bookmaker, Li Zhenzhen stayed at the hotel with her children. Moreover, since the Tianxing No. 1 and Tianxing No. 2, which the bookmaker mentioned, were not yet completed, they were unable to move in.
Li Zhenzhen herself didn't particularly like the so-called underground building, even though it was extremely luxurious and spacious, and equipped with the latest technology.
But as a human, she would definitely prefer life on the ground to living underground and enjoying a fake artificial sun.
When the tsunami struck, Li Zhenzhen was enjoying a leisurely sunbath with her two children by the rooftop pool of the hotel.
As the tsunami was about to hit, Li Zhenzhen, along with Chen Jiaojiao and Chen Xian, hid in the stairwell next to the elevator. They were lucky; the three of them held on tightly and managed to hold their ground, avoiding being separated by the tsunami.
However, when the second tsunami struck, the three were swept out of their hotel room by the waves. Li Zhenzhen and her daughter were staying together, and the two managed to grab each other in time, but Chen Qi, who was staying in another room, was separated from them.
Because the previous tsunami had caused extremely deep flooding, Li Zhenzhen and her companions collected life jackets and life rings from the hotel after the tsunami passed and kept them with them.
So this time, Li Zhenzhen and her daughter were not seriously harmed. When everything calmed down, Li Zhenzhen and Chen Jiaojiao were rescued and put on a boat, and then they searched everywhere for Chen Qi.
Two days later, the two found the injured Chen Qi in a makeshift medical shed. Chen Qi had a broken rib, which had been immobilized with a chest strap, but it was not advisable to move him for the time being.
After the first tsunami, they lost contact with the landlord. The second tsunami swept away their cell phones and all their belongings.
Li Zhenzhen borrowed a phone and contacted Chen Niansheng, explaining their current situation. Chen Qi's injuries prevented him from moving, and all flights back to China had been suspended. The mother and her two children were stranded in a refugee camp in M country.
Although Chen Niansheng in China was anxious, there was nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to send money, Li Zhenzhen and the others wouldn't receive it. He could only ask his older sister to see if she could contact a friend abroad to help take care of them.
The situation in Country M is currently in great chaos, with dead and injured everywhere. It is already very fortunate that Chen Qi and his two companions were able to receive help.
The weather was hot, and in addition to the corpses of people and animals, various items were floating on the water outside, creating a very unpleasant smell. Apart from a few survivors who kindly retrieved the bodies while searching for their families, many corpses were left unattended.
Li Zhenzhen and her two children are hiding in a shelter, barely surviving on one meal a day of relief food. They are hoping that the rain will stop, the sea will recede soon, and flights will resume as soon as possible so that they can return to China.
But more than half a month has passed, and it is still raining. The sea shows no sign of receding, and the work of the rescue center is becoming increasingly lax and unsatisfactory.
Even worse, everyone started to feel unwell. First, their throats became dry and sore, and then the situation became more and more serious. Every time they swallowed, an unbearable burning pain would irritate their throats and esophagus.
The smell in the air grew stronger and more pungent. At first, the shelter would provide painkillers twice a day, but later they couldn't even provide any more medicine. Many people began to have trouble breathing and eating, and then died in agony.
Li Zhenzhen and the other two were also in great discomfort. After stopping their medication, they kept drinking water. When there was no clean bottled water, they drank tap water, even though the tap water tasted almost the same as seawater.
With their throats so dry and painful that they couldn't swallow, they soaked their food in water to make it liquid and forced themselves to swallow it. Their strong will to live kept them going.
Chen Qi's condition was more serious. Although he survived, he could no longer speak.
The death toll was rising, the government was inactive, earthquakes continued to strike, water and electricity were cut off, shops and pharmacies all closed and stopped selling goods, the survivors could not see a way out and also fell into madness, starting to burn, kill and loot everywhere.
The frail and helpless foreigners were the first to be robbed and humiliated, and Li Zhenzhen and her two children were naturally not spared either, as the shelter could no longer provide them with refuge.
"Mom, what should we do? Those people are acting like madmen. Let's try to contact Weifeng again. I'm his girlfriend, he won't abandon us," Chen Jiaojiao sobbed softly to her mother.
The mother and her two children were hiding in the emergency exit of a shopping mall. Chen Qi was clutching his chest, breathing heavily. His injuries had not yet healed, and he was in pain and exhausted, but he was unable to speak.
Looking at the chaotic streets outside, Li Zhenzhen lowered her voice and replied to Chen Jiaojiao, "Don't be silly. They haven't contacted us since the tsunami. We've tried to contact them so many times, but we haven't received any response. The dealers are completely unreliable! How can we expect to get any help if we just walk into their trap? Stop having such unrealistic fantasies."
