Chapter 573 Razed to the Ground

Jiang Yu went to work as usual. As soon as she entered the factory, she was called to the office by Director Zheng.

Director Zheng seemed to have not slept all night and looked very bad.

"You are a double-body now, you have to pay attention to rest."

Jiang Yu smiled bitterly, "Do you think I can sleep?"

Director Zheng sighed and remained silent for a long time.

Then, he looked at her and said, "Jiang Yu, you have to be mentally prepared."

This preparation, of course, is the preparation for being punished.

Newspapers are everywhere issuing earthquake warnings, which has caused social unrest.

In particular, the central government has spent a lot of resources to evacuate the masses and prepare supplies.

The military region has also been mobilized to be ready to support the disaster area at any time.

The earthquake did not happen, and all this was in vain. As the initiator of earthquake warning, Jiang Yu would definitely be punished.

Not to mention Jiang Yu, he could not escape either.

Jiang Yu said seriously: "Director, I hope more than anyone else that this earthquake will not happen."

She would rather Jiang Ting lied to her.

She was also wondering if there would be a butterfly effect. Even such an incredible thing as Jiang Ting's rebirth happened. Perhaps it is not impossible to change history.

However, Jiang Yu was disappointed in the end.

The tremor came at lightning speed. Jiang Yu, who was sitting in a chair, clearly felt the shaking.

The teacup on the table was shaking violently, and the cup lid collided with a crisp sound.

Jiang Yu was shocked and hurriedly held the table.

Director Zheng was the first to react and held her.

"Hurry up!"

As soon as she opened the door and walked out, the shaking became stronger and stronger. Jiang Yu even felt that the whole factory building was shaking. She staggered and swayed from side to side.

"Go downstairs, to an open place!"

"Director, what about you?"

"You go down first, I have to go to the broadcasting studio!"

Director Zheng sent Jiang Yu to the stairs. He had a burden on his shoulders and could not leave the vast number of employees in the factory first.

Jiang Yu moved quickly and agilely, rushing all the way to the first floor.

At this time, many people had already felt the earthquake and rushed out.

Jiang Yu stood in the crowd and looked back at the shaking house.

Even the door of the factory office seemed to be falling off.

She panted and turned to go into the materials department on the first floor.

"Xiao Liu, where's the loudspeaker?"

The material department clerk turned around and saw her, gritted his teeth, and went back into the office to take out the loudspeaker.

"Chief Jiang, you'd better leave first."

Not to mention that an earthquake occurred, even if there was no earthquake, so many people were running out, and if they accidentally bumped into Jiang Yu, it would be annoying enough .

Jiang Yu turned on the loudspeaker and stood on the steps.

"Please evacuate in an orderly manner, don't push, and run to an open place!"

She screamed over and over again, repeating the words, her throat seemed to be torn.

However, those who were panicking and running towards the door, almost no one listened to Jiang Yu's words.

The desire to survive prompted them to just want to escape, faster, just faster!

In a large factory with nearly 10,000 people, trampling is almost inevitable.

Jiang Yu's throat was almost broken by shouting, but her voice was like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!" Lin Changan ran over at some point.

"Brother Yue asked me to come find you. The earthquake here in North City is not that serious. The building should still be able to hold up. He asked you to wait for him here!"

He took the loudspeaker from Jiang Yu and started shouting for her.

No matter how many people there are in the security department, they are not as many as the employees in the factory.

So many people rushing out, it's like a flood that can't be stopped.

Jiang Yu sat under the eaves. He didn't sleep well last night. Today, his mood was ups and downs again. It seemed that all his strength was exhausted.

If North City is like this, what about Phoenix City in the central area?

At the same time, the Textile Industry Revolutionary Committee.

As soon as the earthquake was detected, someone shouted and ran out.

Jiao Zongyao walked to the window in disbelief, holding the shaking window, and was shocked.

"This is impossible..."

The earthquake really came!

"Deputy Director Jiao, don't delay, go out first!"

Jiao Zongyao shouted: "Call immediately and find out the situation in Phoenix City!"

"North City is like this, how can Phoenix City still receive calls? Even if there is news, it will take several hours at the earliest!"

And the news was reported directly to the central government, where they could not find out.

Jiao Zongyao's face was livid, and he clenched his fists tightly, and his bones crackled.

"I won't leave! Maybe it's just a small earthquake, not from Phoenix City at all! It's just a small earthquake, it's not like North City has never had one, what's there to be afraid of!"

He didn't leave, he didn't believe the earthquake warning was true!

He had to wait for news from Phoenix City before he would be satisfied.

Jiang Yu was still sitting on the ground, looking at the chaos below the stairs.

It was unknown how long it took for the tremors to gradually weaken. When

most of the factory workers had been evacuated, she saw Director Zheng coming out of the broadcasting studio.

He did not leave, but saw Jiang Yu and walked over with a serious expression.

"Are you going home, or..."

Jiang Yu got up from the ground, his face pale.

"Go back to the office, I want to wait for news from Huangcheng."

"Let's go."

Jiang Yu took only two steps, and saw He Tingyue running towards her.

He ran to her and checked her condition as soon as possible.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Yu shook her head, "I'm fine, I've been staying here."

He Tingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, led her up the stairs, and reported to Director Zheng.

"Thirty-two people were injured in the stampede, all with minor injuries, and have been sent to the hospital."

Director Zheng nodded, "Call the factory leaders to a meeting! Call everyone over to me, stay in the factory today, and try to find out the news from Phoenix City. The security department and the transportation team are on standby at any time to support the disaster area!"

In the following time, there was nothing to do except waiting.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Jiang Yu was anxious.

If He Tingyue hadn't brought a few boiled eggs when he went out, she would have fainted.

The first person to deliver the message was actually Old Jiang.

He came to look for Jiang Yu, and seeing that the National Cotton Mill was empty, he thought that everyone had run away.

When he returned to the family compound, he found out that the factory leaders were in a meeting.

"Phoenix City, a big earthquake!" As soon

as the words fell, the conference room was as quiet as death.

The warning was given, but who would want to see such a disaster?

Jiang Yu's back collapsed and she let out a long breath.

She thought absentmindedly, and the last bit of relief disappeared.

History cannot be changed.

Tears welled up in Old Jiang's eyes, "In just a few dozen seconds, the entire city was almost razed to the ground! The destructive force is immeasurable!" The

collapse rate of all buildings is as high as 90%!

Jiang Yu closed her eyes, she couldn't imagine what Phoenix City looked like now.

But she knew how much impact it would have on the people, from a century-old industrial city to a ruin.

Director Zheng clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice: "What about the casualties?"

Jiang Lao shook his head, "There are frequent aftershocks on the scene, and it is impossible to count."

He could not imagine how much casualties and losses this sudden earthquake would cause without earthquake warning.

He stared at Jiang Yu in a daze, his heart was surging, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

History cannot be changed, and humans cannot fight against nature, but they can try their best to reduce the losses.
