Chapter 417: Cowardly
Lu Xingtang said solemnly, "We will. Please, Mr. President, notify everyone immediately and let everyone prepare immediately! When will the typhoon land in Country H?"
"Three days later!" the President confirmed.
Lu Xingtang nodded and said, "I will make protective arrangements in these three days!" He immediately called a meeting of the management and told them that a Category 19 typhoon would land in Country H in three days, which would be the last natural disaster on Blue Planet. He asked the management to immediately divide the work, strengthen protection, and check the situation of nearby safe houses so that everyone could be prepared.
Everyone divided the work, including Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang stayed at the base, while Ji Yanmo led a group of people to contact the government, check on the people in the safe house, and check the situation near Lancheng to see if it could withstand the damage caused by the typhoon. If not, they would strengthen the base's defenses and make it stronger, at least to help it hold out for a while longer.
Almost all the staff in the base were on the move. Everyone carefully checked the inside and outside of the base. If they found any problems, they would immediately carry out repairs to try to make their protective bunkers last a few more days.
Everyone in the base worked together and added another layer of reinforcement to the outside of the base. Lu Xingtang asked Ji Yanmo to do a simple test to confirm that the sturdiness was good, but he was not completely relieved. Just one more layer of reinforcement would make them much safer.
Lu Xingtang also took the opportunity to add a lot of supplies to the underground city warehouse. For example, most of the supplies that had been stored in the space were taken out, especially food and medicine. Lu Xingtang took out a lot in preparation for emergencies.
At the same time, each person is equipped with an emergency medical kit and a supply kit. After they return to the underground city, the emergency medical kit and supply kit must be three meters away from them. If the typhoon destroys the underground city, they can survive with the supply kit and medical kit and wait for rescue.
Everyone was very grateful to Lu Xingtang and listened to his words. Even though they had lived in the underground city for a long time and were tired of life there, they still lived peacefully in the underground city. They did not dare to run around anywhere and huddled in their homes, ready to escape at any time.
Three days passed in a flash despite everyone's hard work. The typhoon arrived as expected in the early morning of April 20. The President named this typhoon "Satan". After the arrival of the god of death, he ruthlessly plundered people's lives, took away the resources they had worked hard to accumulate, and then left without caring about people's life or death.
However, the typhoon did not start from the Lancheng base, but from the Haicheng base. To be precise, another undersea earthquake occurred in the sea area near FJ Province and GD Province, causing a tsunami. The tsunami swept all cities on the coast and immediately triggered the typhoon.
Haicheng Base has been fighting against natural disasters at sea and knew that a typhoon would come. They have accelerated their defense. Even GJ has made efforts to help and protect Haicheng Base. However, just one day after the tsunami left, a typhoon quickly formed and appeared.
It hit the coast mercilessly and heartlessly. GD Province, FJ Province and other places had already resumed production because everything had returned to the starting point due to the tsunami. However, this typhoon came with great force, opening its bloody mouth ferociously to swallow up the supplies left after the tsunami, and took them away quickly and decisively.
The coconut trees, houses, weeds, wood, and stones that were eroded and broken by the tsunami were blown up by the typhoon, spinning around in the sky and moving quickly in other directions, while also sweeping up other supplies that the typhoon had set its sights on. Many sturdy trees that had withstood many natural disasters and survived were helpless under the typhoon and were uprooted. The soil and roots were thrown everywhere, and other trees in the air were knocked to other locations.
The base commander and management of Haicheng Base were furious when they saw this scene: "When will this natural disaster end? If this continues, our Haicheng Base may not be able to be saved!"
"Don't be discouraged! The government has already told us that this is the last natural disaster. As long as the typhoon passes, our H country will be stable, and we can recuperate, gradually become stronger, and return to our former glory! Everyone, don't be discouraged! Believe in the government, believe in our Haicheng base! Our Haicheng base has been established for twenty years. We have survived these twenty years, and we will definitely be able to do it this time too!"
"You're afraid. It's normal. Everyone is afraid. But the management of your base is the guiding light for all the survivors. If you're all afraid, what will the survivors think? Even if you're afraid, no one is allowed to show it on their faces!"
Base Commander Yu Qiyue looked coldly at the terrified management. "If I see you so dejected again, I will immediately throw you out of the base and let the typhoon carry you away to fend for yourselves!"
The management immediately became quiet, especially those who were afraid of natural disasters, they did not dare to speak.
"It's already the last moment, and you're all cowards. You're really disappointing!" After saying this, Yu Qiyue glanced coldly at the management: "Stay at your posts diligently and conscientiously. As long as the Haicheng base is not destroyed, none of us will be in any danger!"
The other members of the management team quickly mediated and asked Yu Qiyue not to be angry. At the same time, they persuaded Yu Qiyue to leave. The remaining members of the management team stayed and criticized these timid members of the management team. In fact, these people joined the management team later, and the original management team was very tough.
But everyone is old, and their health has broken down due to years of hard work. They are no longer capable of doing the job, so they had to promote some people again. These people performed well at the beginning, but every time they encountered a natural disaster, they wanted to shrink back. In the past, they only shrank in front of them, but now they are dancing in front of the base commander. It is no wonder that the base commander is so angry.
Yu Qiyue would not argue with the young management. His attention was always on the typhoon. He asked the research team and learned that the typhoon had reached level 17. The roofs of the buildings outside the base had been blown off, and many of them had been carried away by the typhoon.
Fortunately, they received the news in advance and transferred all the supplies outside the base to the inside of the base, so there is no problem with the life of the base at present. I just don’t know if their base can hold on until the end of the natural disaster?
Thinking of this, Yu Qi Yue felt a headache.
The level 17 typhoon stayed in FJ Province and GD Province for three days and then turned around and headed towards various cities in Country H. Wherever the typhoon passed, the wind force did not decrease but increased instead. It has now become level 18, and some places have even reached level 19.
Before the typhoon reached Lancheng Base, it started raining again, but it wasn't heavy, just moderate rain. But once the force 19 typhoon arrived, the moderate rain was blown away, leaving almost no rain on the ground.
