Yu Sui listened to these very technical words and quietly stuck her head in to take a look.
The person who spoke was about forty years old, very thin, and had a scholarly air. He was the key figure she knew from some later newspapers - Wang Zhenmin.
After Wang Zhenmin said this, except for the leader who had his back to the door and whose expression could not be seen, the other participants looked very nervous, and several of them even lowered their heads.
Yu Sui was afraid that her presence would affect the meeting, so she quickly retracted her head and continued to listen patiently.
The same dull and stern leader's voice echoed again: "Prepare for a strong earthquake? Then let me ask you, how do you prepare? Which areas should be prepared? How long will it take? Answer me!"
silence.
Depressing silence.
About a minute later, Wang Zhenmin replied, "According to the current monitoring data, the earthquake will occur between the 22nd and August 5th, so we need to be prepared for earthquakes for at least half a month..."
"Huh!" A dull voice snorted coldly, interrupting Wang Zhenmin, and then threw out a bunch of questions:
"With such a long preparation time, where will the funds come from? What if panic and riots occur? Don't you think about it? The epicenter you proposed this time is a large area including Tangshan, Luanxian and the border between Hebei and Liaoning. This is completely different from the Haicheng in Qi.
I'm asking you, what if this doesn't happen? This is the capital, the capital! A lot of big things have happened today. Who can bear it if there's more chaos like this?
Then, there was silence again.
The silence lasted too long, and Yu Sui couldn't help but stick her head in to look again.
Except for Wang Zhenmin who pursed his lips and looked straight ahead, as if thinking about how to arrange things, everyone else wanted to bury their heads under the table.
The leader sighed heavily:
"Xiao Wang, it's not that I don't take it seriously, it's just that these are extraordinary times. The higher-ups... the situation is dire across the board. We who work with earthquakes all know that earthquakes can only be warned when they occur, not predicted in advance. The fact that you were able to detect the Haicheng earthquake is truly remarkable. Really, let's quit while we're ahead.
I know that sometimes we face a dilemma when doing this kind of work. On the one hand, we worry about whether a prediction will affect our own life, and on the other hand, we worry about whether a prediction will affect the lives of others. If you insist, I won't stop you, but you will have to bear the consequences yourself, ah, yourself!
After saying this, the man stood up and rushed out of the meeting room.
Old lady Yu Sui didn't have time to retract her head and was bumped by the man.
Yu Sui couldn't help but cry out: "Ouch!"
The man glared at Yu Sui and said, "Where did this old lady come from? How can you come into such an occasion? What are you doing?" Then he strode away.
The others quietly packed up their notebooks and other things and left quietly.
The only important technician left in the conference room was Wang Zhenmin.
He still maintained the same thinking posture.
Yu Sui picked up a thermos from the cabinet next to her and walked over to pour some water into his teacup.
When the cup was placed back on the table, it made a dull "thump". Wang Zhenmin looked up at Yu Sui and said, "Thank you, Auntie... Uh, this guesthouse still needs a waiter as old as you?"
Yu Sui smiled, calmly put the thermos away, returned to Wang Zhenmin, pulled out a chair and sat down: "Of course, this guesthouse can't afford me. I came here specifically to see you."
Wang Zhenmin, who was packing up his notebooks, was stunned: "You...you're looking for me?"
"Yes, I'm looking for you. I want to ask, what would you do if all the leaders disagree with the point of view you put forward?"
Wang Zhenmin didn't rush to answer, but looked around in confusion. Finally, he put on a serious expression and said to Yu Sui:
"Old man, this isn't something you should be asking about. The things we're talking about concern the safety of ordinary people, so you can't just discuss them. Please don't tell anyone about it. Keep it confidential."
Yu Sui nodded, her expression even more serious than Wang Zhenmin's. "I know, I won't tell anyone. So, don't tell anyone about what you saw me. Keep it a secret."
Obviously, Wang Minzhen couldn't understand what Yu Sui meant.
He glanced at Yu Sui a few times and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, let's not go out and tell anyone. Oh, okay, I have to think of a way to convince the leader."
He stood up. Although he was not old, he seemed unable to straighten his back. He needed to hold on to the table to have the strength to walk out.
Yu Sui said at this moment, "Your idea won't work. The situation in the capital is complicated right now. No matter how much you tell your superiors, they will only relax and allow you to release earthquake prevention information in your personal name, not on behalf of the Earthquake Bureau."
Wang Zhenmin stopped and said, "How... do you know?"
Yu Sui leaned back in her chair leisurely. "How would I know this? You don't need to know. I'll just tell you one thing. I didn't know your leader would say that, but I also know the exact time of this impending earthquake. Do you want to hear it?"
"Really?" Wang Minzhen stretched his neck.
"Seriously."
"What time?"
"July 28th, 3:42:53 AM."
"You..." Wang Minzhen's words were stuck in his throat, and he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Are you kidding?"
Yu Sui looked up at him and said, "Who do you think would joke about the lives of 240,000 human beings?"
"240,000... You, you mean, if an earthquake, it will, will affect 240,000 people?"
"No, considering the timing and the size of the area involved, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake would injure 240,000 people."
"No..." Wang Zhenmin uttered a word, then clenched his fists tightly and looked at Yu Sui.
His face grew redder and redder, and his breathing became rapid.
I think he was very nervous when he heard the news.
In such an atmosphere, Yu Sui slowly stood up.
She gently patted her "old" waist to remind people of her first steps:
"Your earthquake monitoring work was correct. Now that you know the specific time, I hope you can prepare for earthquakes as soon as possible. Remember, everything you hear is not an illusion. However, I can't testify for you. This is all I can do to help you. Remember what you promised me just now: don't tell anyone about your encounter with me."
After saying that, Yu Sui put her hands in front of her body and made an exaggerated and slow gesture of casting a spell in a mythological TV drama. Then she moved her mind and flashed into the space.
Well, she needs to let others know that she is really not an ordinary person.
No, no, they have to understand that she is not human.
Can a person say these words?
It's not human language that attracts attention.
