Wang Feiwen stumbled and ran out, but reality gave her a heavy slap in the face.
The entire house was engulfed in flames. In such a situation, she had no way to escape. Even if she could escape, what would she do? Run through a place full of fire?
The thick black smoke would choke her to death first.
Wang Feiwen looked at the scene before her in despair. She was finished, completely finished.
Why is she here? Why didn't she go with the embassy car tonight?
Oh, right!
embassy!
Wang Feiwen hurriedly ran back, and with trembling hands, picked up his phone and dialed the embassy.
He was met with a busy signal.
Wang Feiwen panicked completely and sat in the stuffy room, bursting into tears.
Such scenes are common in downtown America, while in a conference room in China, five people are sitting together.
The leader looked serious; the events in the Ugly country had confirmed the accuracy of the disaster warning system.
This is also the most worrying thing.
Because the disaster warning device sounded for the first time at noon today, the country's top researchers gathered around.
The display screen above says,
A magnitude 3 earthquake struck Yangshi City, Shanxi Province at noon on March 26, affecting more than 150,000 people.
The five leaders sat in the conference room discussing how to persuade the people of Shanxi Province to evacuate quickly within the next sixteen days.
A middle-aged man with gray hair spoke first: "If you ask me, we should tell everyone that we have developed a disaster early warning device, and then let everyone follow the government to evacuate quickly."
Another middle-aged man said, "I agree. Because of extensive coal mining, the underground in Shanxi Province is completely hollow. If there is an earthquake, it will definitely collapse completely, and everyone will fall down."
"The difficulty of the rescue is unimaginable, especially since this was a magnitude 9.3 earthquake. We cannot take any risks."
An old man with a black beard next to him disagreed: "I think we still can't release the disaster warning device. Otherwise, given the attitude of those foreigners, they will definitely put pressure on us to hand over the technology of the disaster warning device."
The two sides were locked in a dispute.
Finally, the leader slammed his fist on the table and declared, "Announcement: Saving lives is the priority."
Old man with a black beard: "Leader..."
The leader waved his hand and said, "We don't have time to argue with those foreigners. As you said, the underground in Shanxi Province is completely hollow. If we don't evacuate in time after this major earthquake, the casualties may be even more severe than those in Tang City."
"This time, we are carrying out a forced evacuation. Everyone, listen up and prepare to go down to Shanxi Province as quickly as possible."
The remaining four men stood up, saluted, and said, "Yes, sir! We guarantee to complete the mission!"
Then, everyone went into a state of preparation.
That same evening, Chinese officials announced the completion of the development of the disaster early warning device.
They also sent out the news that a magnitude 3 earthquake would occur in Shanxi Province at 9:00 AM on March 26, urging residents to take advantage of the time and evacuate to safe areas on their own.
The government has also urgently vacated temporary housing areas that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
This caused a huge sensation online!
Orange Light: [Is this fake? Our Shanxi province has never experienced a major earthquake.]
Blue Enchantress: [Exactly! Shanxi Province isn't even in an earthquake zone, how could such a big earthquake happen?]
Kettle Rack: [Oh my god, really? If an earthquake happens in Shanxi Province, we're doomed. The ground is completely hollow.]
Tea Market: [It's all over! I just bought over 300,000 yuan worth of tea, and now the earthquake's hit! I've lost it all!?]
Refrigeration: [Impossible, I don't believe it.]
…………
Online comments are polarized.
Some people, after seeing the information released by the government, have already started packing their things and taking their families to other provinces.
After all, if it's fake, it's like taking my parents, wife, and children on a trip; but if it's real, it's like risking my life!
However, there are always some people who consider themselves experts and don't believe the information released by the government.
I always felt that the government was exaggerating, so I didn't take any action.
However, this time the country is not going to tolerate them.
The government exerted pressure at every level, and all government personnel acted swiftly, conducting a thorough search.
All personnel must evacuate as soon as possible and ensure that they are completely out of Yangshi City, Shanxi Province by the 21st.
Even in cities surrounding Yang City, savvy people have begun to evacuate. After all, houses and money are external things that can be earned back, but if you die, you lose everything.
This move has had a huge impact on the international internet.
A netizen from the Ugly Country commented: "[China is hilarious. Is their government joking?]"
American netizen #2: [Exactly! They even specified the exact time, location, and magnitude of the earthquake. Do they really think their predictors are that precise?]
An American netizen commented: "Exactly! The Chinese people are too obedient. Evacuation is their own freedom; how can it be forcibly enforced?"
A Japanese netizen commented: "Exactly! They boast about their disaster early warning system, but if that's the case, why didn't they predict the forest fires in the US?"
A netizen from the U.S. commented: "I think Japan is right, it's all fake. They don't actually believe their technology is more advanced than ours, do they?"
Ugly student studying abroad: [...]
A U.S. student studying in the U.S.: [To be honest... before the forest fire, all the Chinese people in the city center were taken away by embassy staff...]
U.S. Netizen 4: [Yes, I confirm this. I have a friend who is an international student and was called away by the embassy. I happened to be on my way home, so I escaped the fire. Otherwise, I would have been burned to death too.]
The comments from netizens from the U.S. country silenced the comment section for a few seconds.
They suddenly felt a sense of panic. They were all laughing at China, but they hadn't considered what would happen if this were true.
So how should these countries that pride themselves on being technologically advanced conduct themselves, and how should China treat them?
The internet is in an uproar.
There's been a lot of debate about it domestically too. Some people in China still feel that China is the same country that was once easily bullied.
They always felt that China's technology was not as advanced as that of foreign countries, so they didn't believe it.
However, disbelief was not an option; the government carried out a forced evacuation, removing all those who refused to cooperate.
March 25th arrived quickly, after one thorough search after another.
Once it was confirmed that there was no one left in Shanxi Province, the evacuation team also carried out an emergency evacuation.
Everyone retreated to Hebei Province, which was closest to Shanxi Province, and watched as time ticked by.
It's the second day, March 26th.
2 o'clock,
6 o'clock,
10 o'clock,
12 o'clock!
