Chapter 375 Disaster (1)
Overnight, people around were talking about it.
The word that was mentioned most often was “explosion”.
Everyone seemed to associate the sudden shaking with an explosion.
Song Qingqian's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled when she heard the voice beside her ear.
She looked up into the distance, gazing at the high mountains.
——He Donglai is in the mountains.
He is the engineer for the entire project and the leader of the demolition team.
If it was a planned explosion, with safety measures in place, there wouldn't be any major problems.
But the explosion just now was more violent than the previous few days.
Song Qingqian's heart was pounding and beating particularly fast and violently.
She felt an indescribable uneasiness.
Could something have happened to He Donglai?
At this moment.
Another person who looked as solemn and uneasy as Song Qingqian was Jiang Rou.
The shaking just now made her mind confused.
A large number of dead fish suddenly appeared on the seaside of the pier...
Sudden abnormal weather, strong winds and heavy rain...
Abnormal tidal movement of the sea, accompanied by a sudden rise in sea level...
Each of these piles and pieces is quite rare.
"Heavy mountains... heavy mountains..."
Jiang Rou suddenly thought of something.
She hugged Zhou Xiaohua with one hand and grabbed Zhou Chongshan's wrist with the other.
She looked up at the man beside her.
Jiang Rou asked anxiously.
"Chongshan, do you also think that the shaking just now was caused by the explosion?"
Zhou Chongshan said nothing.
His face was tense and serious.
There are deep guesses hidden in the dark eyes.
Zhou Chongshan felt that things were not simple, but he was not sure about the specific reasons, so he could not bring himself to speak them out at this time and shake the morale of the troops.
He doesn't know.
But Jiang Rou thought of it.
"Heavy mountains, it's an earthquake."
As soon as these words came out.
The astonished eyes of the people around turned to Jiang Rou, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
earthquake!?!
Most of them have never experienced an earthquake, but have heard of its severity.
It is a terrible disaster that destroys the world in a short period of time.
Everyone subconsciously rejects such a serious matter.
"It can't be an earthquake! It's just an explosion!"
Jiang Rou didn't care what others said, she just looked at Zhou Chongshan firmly.
"Zhongshan! It's really an earthquake. I've seen it in books. The sudden appearance of dead fish on the coast, a sudden rainstorm, and such extreme weather are all signs before an earthquake. Because animals sense danger earlier than humans! Believe me, it's really an earthquake!"
A few minutes ago, a few seconds of shaking.
It is very likely that the center of the earthquake was far away and the seismic waves were transmitted over.
It is impossible to predict whether there will be stronger earthquakes in the future.
But now that we have sensed the danger, we cannot just sit there and wait for death.
We must seize the present time and make disaster preparations.
"Chongshan, we can't let everyone stay in the house anymore. We must all get out and go to the open space. If there is a more severe earthquake in the future... it will... it will be over!"
What Jiang Rou said at this time was quite serious.
If there is no subsequent earthquake, she will be held responsible for these words.
What if there is...
This is what everyone is thinking at this time.
They didn't want to believe Jiang Rou's words, nor did they dare to refute her words.
He just turned his gaze to Zhou Chongshan.
Zhou Chongshan had the highest military rank among all the people and the soldiers all listened to him.
Zhou Chongshan is also Jiang Rou's husband.
Whether or not to believe Jiang Rou’s words, let him make the decision.
It also means.
If Jiang Rou was wrong, Zhou Chongshan would share the responsibility with her.
Suddenly.
It became silent.
Even Zhou Xiaohua stopped crying.
She curled up in Jiang Rou's arms, and after crying until she was tired, she fell asleep with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Rou still stared at Zhou Chongshan closely.
Her eyes were firm and urgent.
Wasting time now may very well mean wasting life later.
Time is life.
Zhou Chongshan pondered for a while after the meeting.
He let go of Jiang Rou's hand——
A turn.
"Song Yan, count the number of people and divide them into two teams. One team will enter the village first, evacuate the crowd, and take the villagers to an open and safe area. The other team will come back to the barracks with me, prepare tools, and report to Captain Liang!"
"Zhou Tuan..."
This was the first time that Song Yan did not respond directly to Zhou Chongshan's order.
He is hesitating.
Although Jiang Rou's words were firm, the earthquake...
"I am responsible for following orders. It has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Chongshan's deep and powerful voice of command was enough to show his determination.
He believed in Jiang Rou.
We value the lives of the people more.
"Yes, Zhou Tuan!"
Song Yan responded firmly.
He handed Zhou Xiaochuan over to Zhao Guifen and said, "Sister-in-law, please take care of the child."
Right after.
In the shortest possible time, the soldiers who had just got off the warships and the soldiers who were originally standing guard at the dock all gathered together.
The well-trained soldiers immediately divided into teams according to Zhou Chongshan's orders.
period.
Zhou Chongshan left a sentence to Jiang Rouzhi.
"Wife, take care of yourself and the children."
Further back, Zhou Chongshan was seen leaving in a hurry, taking his soldiers away.
at the pier.
Suddenly a group of women were left behind.
Song Qingqian seemed to be thinking about something, with a frown on his face.
She whispered to Jiang Rou, "Arou, is it really an earthquake?"
"Very likely."
Jiang Rou nodded solemnly.
At this moment.
She was not sure. After all, there was no record of this period in the original novel, and there was only a brief mention of it.
[A storm took Jiang Rou's life, leaving no trace of her body...]
As for the earthquake, there was no mention of it.
But all natural changes are harbingers of earthquakes.
Jiang Rou's answer made Song Qingqian's face turn pale again.
Her eyes were always looking into the distance.
The uneasiness in my heart gradually became stronger.
Lin Yulan was also feeling uneasy, but she was thinking about more.
"Arou, if there really is an earthquake, what should we do?"
"Go back to school! Go back to the compound! Get everyone out of the houses. The earthquake will cause the houses to collapse and people will be crushed to death."
Jiang Rou's answer was simple and clear, giving the worst result.
Lin Yulan made a prompt decision.
"Go back! You all heard it, go back now and call everyone out to a safe open space."
At this moment.
People are in a panic.
Lin Yulan's decision was like a reassurance to everyone.
Don't think too much, just follow her.
They left the dock anxiously.
Lin Yulan said, "Sister Rou, Sister Guifen, Sister Qingqian, go to the school and take the children out first. The rest of you, follow me back to the compound."
"But... Sister Yulan, your belly... you are pregnant..."
"I'm fine! Human lives are at stake! Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
Lin Yulan held her belly with her hands and gritted her teeth to hold on.
