It started with a slight shaking, then gradually became more intense. Soon, the tables and chairs were shaking. People were woken up by the shaking and immediately ran out.
When the people in higher positions saw that this earthquake really happened, they subconsciously thought of the major earthquake in Anwei County half a month ago, and their hearts suddenly tightened.
So the higher-ups immediately called Yu Wei over and asked him in detail about the big earthquake that happened half a month later.
Yu Wei told his superiors the time and place that Qingyao had told him. The superiors immediately paid serious attention to it and assigned the matter to Yu Wei, and also made him responsible for the rescue work this time.
Yu Wei knew that this was a big test. If he completed the task perfectly, he might have a chance to join the central government.
So he rushed to Anwei County without stopping, joined forces with the local county magistrate, and united all the departments including the fire department, public security department, criminal police department, and special police force.
First, the people were evacuated in an orderly manner and moved to open areas. Then, excavators began to move and level mountains, trying to dig out more open areas for people to take refuge. All those who had the conditions went to another county town.
When people first received the notice from the government, many were reluctant to leave.
However, Yu Wei issued an order to all departments that all people at the epicenter must be evacuated without leaving anyone behind.
So, at the government's strong request, everyone evacuated safely and in an orderly manner.
Some retreated to the next county, and all those near the epicenter evacuated to open areas. Everyone waited for the earthquake two days later.
When all personnel had evacuated, at around 4 a.m. on the third day, some strange noises were heard from underground. The noises gradually grew louder, cracks began to appear in the ground, the mountains and houses were shaking, and people were staggering from side to side due to the earthquake.
Everyone saw with their own eyes how the tall buildings collapsed in an instant, and this time they were thankful that they listened to the government and evacuated in time.
After the earthquake, the place was in ruins. Yu Wei led the rescue team to quickly carry out rescue work. They were looking for signs of life in the ruins. After all, some people would definitely not listen to the government and would secretly run back home, so now everyone had to search and rescue these people.
"Here! Come quickly! There's movement here!" a rescuer shouted.
Everyone immediately gathered around and carefully cleared the rubble. After some effort, they finally rescued a trapped person.
Yu Wei's voice had become hoarse, but he continued to direct the rescue work and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
At this time, Qingyao also came to the disaster area, bringing a large amount of supplies and volunteers.
When Yu Wei saw Qingyao, a smile appeared on his tired face: "Wife, why are you here?"
Qingyao said: "I will come with you to overcome the difficulties together."
With everyone's joint efforts, the rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner, and more and more trapped people were successfully rescued.
