Chapter 26
In Qingjiang City, a resettlement site for residents.
"Oh my god, it's shaking again!"
A woman in her thirties watched the rice bowls on the table twirling in circles, holding her one-year-old child with her left hand, her husband with her right hand, and her husband's earthquake emergency kit. The three lay firmly on the ground.
In less than a week, twelve earthquakes have occurred in Qingjiang City!
The first time was in the middle of the night. After waking up, Gui Miao touched it and found that the child was not on the bed. She was frightened out of her wits. When she turned on the light, she saw the child sitting on the ground laughing.
The pacifier spun like a spinning top on the carpet.
Experts said that it was only a small vibration occasionally, and everyone should not be concerned.
The second time, Gui Miao went out for a walk with her baby. The child who never spoke, pointed to the front in the stroller, and said "Yeah, yah, yah!"... There was a little dog in front of it, which was shaken four by the earthquake.Feet up.
Experts say it's nothing, it's just an ordinary small earthquake.
She didn't believe any experts, and bought an earthquake emergency kit from the Internet, which contained whistles, flashlights, ropes, band-aids, and alcohol.
Sure enough, it happened again for the third time and the fourth time... Their district set up a resettlement site for residents, requiring everyone to stay in the playground first, and some residents were injured, and doctors would be dispatched to treat them from time to time.
Until the twelfth time today.
Gui Miao really wanted to shake the expert's shoulder: What happened?What are these things?
After the severe earthquake was over, Gui Miao's husband turned on "Live Live" again, and people rushed over to watch it.
"The twelfth earthquake of unknown cause occurred in Qingjiang City just now, and the magnitude of the earthquake is seven."
"More than 100 geologists from across the country have been stationed in Qingjiang City, and Mr. Ge, the meteorological leader, was also invited. The frequent earthquakes have seriously threatened the daily life and property safety of the residents of Qingjiang City. Let's connect with Mr. Ge, to see what kind of research progress there is.”
Resident A: "Why is it him again? Isn't he retired?"
Resident B: "Guo Jia will not let go of such a high-end talent. In times of crisis, only his words are the most authoritative."
The old man's voice sounded in the live broadcast: "Ahem, it's me again... Hello, audience. As we all know, the current seismological theory has a relatively authoritative and complete understanding of earthquakes. The itinerary of the earthquake is because the rock formations areDuring the movement of the crust, it is either squeezed or stretched, causing the ground to vibrate."
"For example, Dizhen City, which is hundreds of kilometers west of Qingjiang City, is just in the seismic zone at the junction of the earth's crust, and there will always be at least one magnitude-1 earthquake every year."
Female anchor: "Then, is Qingjiang City also at the junction of plates?"
Mr. Ge: "Not at all!"
female anchor:……
Mr. Ge: "We organized an in-depth expert discussion on this issue. We found that the crustal plate where Qingjiang City is located is very complete, smooth, and strong. Not to mention twelve earthquakes, not one earthquake should have happened!"
female anchor:……
The female anchor tried to turn the topic into a positive and clear direction: "By the way, Mr. Ge, we found the epicenter in Qingjiang Park for the last time. Is this also an important research breakthrough?"
Mr. Ge said without hesitation: "No, no, there is no breakthrough. As a consensus in geological research, there should be one and only one source of an earthquake. Especially for this series of earthquakes, they should have shared one source."
The female anchor was a little confused: "So, so?"
Mr. Ge: "We have discovered a total of twelve seismic sources! They are messy and irregular. We are now inviting foreign probability experts to conduct research."
Female anchor: "This is too strange?!"
Mr. Ge coughed a few times: "Otherwise I want to retire! You have to interview me every time..."
The video was interrupted here, and the residents looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone had already discovered that because of the earthquake, the network, telephone, and TV signals in Qingjiang City were not very good.
Everyone is looking at the earth.If even one of them opened his eyes, he would find a huge blue dragon flying in the sky.
Jiaolong looked hurried, blinked his huge eyes, stretched out his claws, tore open the thick cloud, and landed on the ground after a majestic dragon roar.
After all, it is not as good as the real dragon. Jiaolong is very tired and a little panting.
"Hoo, Mr. Zhong, we have arrived in Qingjiang City. I will go and say hello to Zhenjiang Jiao, and then I will leave."
"I wish you and Mr. Bai a safe return." Qing Yuan said politely.
With both feet on the ground that was still trembling slightly, Zhong Yi took the medicine box from the dragon horn of Qingyuan. A small room boy sat on the top of the box, holding the handle tightly with both hands, shaking all over.
two hours ago.
After Zhong Yi saw Bai Ze on TV.
Zhong Yi received a phone call, and there was only one syllable:
"save……"
The earthquake made the signal weak.
After just one word, Bai Ze's words disappeared in the distant and fragile radio waves.
No matter how many more calls Zhong Yi made, the other party did not answer.
He thought he was dreaming.
Mr. Bai asked him to help.
Obviously, just now he wanted his life: In that cramped interrogation room, Mr. Bai dignifiedly and slowly picked up his cane, teased his chin like a small animal, and said that he was considering eating him in installments.
Zhong Yi found his largest medical kit, packed it as quickly as possible, and filled it with all the medical supplies he could think of.
Turning on the mobile phone to book a ticket, he found that the high-speed rail and planes leading to Qingjiang City were out of service, so Zhong Yi ran to Jin Hua.
Jin Hua has already recovered his essence, stripped off the little milk cat's body, and has his own body.
This gigantic cat, as tall as a half-story building, was basking in the sun on the threshing floor.After hearing what Zhong Yi said in a panic, her first reaction was:
"impossible."
"Is there anything Mr. Bai can't handle?"
"Who dares to stain his body with blood, meow?"
Zhong Yi showed Jin Hua the video replay of "Live Now".
Show it the call log again, which proves that it has indeed received a distress call.
Jin Hua's entire cat face was frightened and deformed: "I'll give you a Migu branch, and let Qing Yuan carry you to find Mr."
"Xintong is willing to continue to be a vegetarian for one month, and pray that Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhong are safe and well, meow!" Mao'er knelt down facing the south with a plop.
Qingjiang Park was pitch black, there was no staff at the gate, and the wooden signboard was shaken loose by the earthquake and hung crookedly on the archway.This is a time-honored park. It should have been full of laughter and laughter at this time, but now it looks like a place of ghosts and ghosts.
This park is the place where Bai Ze, as Zhong Yi knows, appeared for the last time.
"Shitong, the next step is the employee's regularization exam. Find Bai Ze! Contact me, if we complete the task alive, we will give you a free bone age test every month, and add enough VD to the employee's meal."
"Okay!" The child held a flashlight and ran into the darkness.
One person and one demon separately searched for Mr. Bai.
The night wind in the darkness is light, and the smell of summer plants pours into the nose.
The flowers, plants and trees were either collapsed or broken due to the earthquake, exuding a stronger and decaying smell, and even a little bloody smell.
Occasionally, a long street lamp stumbled on the ground, like a snake across the past, Zhong Yi stepped over, and saw the collapsed entertainment facilities.The merry-go-round horse fell into a mess, revealing black eyes painted with paint.
It seems that Bai Ze has never existed here, there is no pair of wings, no tiger claw marks, let alone the long tiger roar.
As his mood sank little by little, Zhong Yi saw a small tabby cat approaching from not far away and stop in front of him.
It has eyes like glass balls, and four soft paws with blood dripping between them.
Zhong Yi stopped, this kitten looked like the one he met in the welfare agency.He is very obedient and super cute. When he sees him, he will open his mouth to reveal his pink and tender tongue.
Zhong Yi quickly squatted down, opened the medicine box, and called the kitten to stop the bleeding on its paws.The kitten looked at him without blinking, its tail twirling and rubbing against his arm.
After it was dealt with, the kitten meowed and did not leave, signaling Zhong Yi to follow it.
Under the starlight, this cat did not take the path of ordinary people at all. It always went around strange hillsides and trails. Finally, when passing by a small dirt bag, Zhong Yi saw a dazzling white.
Pick it up and look at the starlight, it is a pure white feather.
It looked like a feather falling from Mr. Bai's body.
Zhong Yi couldn't hide her excitement, and put the feather into her pocket: "Thank you, kitten, I am indeed looking for Mr. Bai!"
But what the kitten did next surprised Zhong Yi greatly.
It jumped onto Zhong Yi's neck, wrapped its cat's tail around his hand, and slowly, slowly, raised his hand to the dark depths ahead.
It seemed to be a raised building.
It is made of several fallen tree trunks, covered with many large leaves, like a simple tent, with green fluorescent lights flying around it.
There are many cries of small animals, some meow softly, some chirp chirp chirp sigh, and some cough cough cough cough like an old demon.
Zhong Yi immediately understood what was going on.
It turns out that just like human beings, monsters will also build this kind of temporary settlement for residents.One is to keep warm, and the other is to prevent damage caused by a new wave of earthquakes.It's just that there are many monsters here who lack medical treatment after being injured, so they can only tremble, resign themselves to their fate, or carry it by force.
"No, no, I have to find Mr. Bai." Zhong Yi waved his hand.
The tabby cat jumped down, wrapped its tail around Zhong Yi's leg, and firmly dragged him towards the tent step by step without his objection.
After half a minute.
Zhong Yi shouted to the sky: "Shi Tong!"
Get the answer: "Yes!"
Zhong Yi: "I have other things to do, you can find Mr. Bai yourself!"
Room boy: "Got it!"
Truly his most loyal subordinate.
Seeing the old, weak, sick and disabled monsters in a tent, Zhong Yi felt a little headache.Although Mr. Bai called him for help, the situation of these monsters cannot be ignored.
A three-legged duck is missing one leg, a two-headed cow has only one head left, and a snake with long legs hisses while hugging its broken leg.
Some demons want to drink water, while others want to eat meat.
Some monsters are very small, miss their mothers, and want to be hugged.
At this moment, no monsters minded, the person who came in rashly and said that he wanted to see a doctor for them was a human being.
They watched silently as the doctor opened the medicine box and picked up a little hedgehog the size of a palm in his left hand. The little hedgehog couldn't breathe from crying.
Zhong Yi knocked on the box with the needle in his right hand: "Come on, the bleeding monster first, line up to get the alcohol, gauze and Yunnan Baiyao."
"Monsters with fractures and internal injuries go to line up on the haystack outside, don't move around, it will aggravate the condition."
"For those monsters who are unconscious, or think they are about to faint, the monsters next to them will help to raise their hands. Those without hands can also raise their tails. I will look at them first."
The monsters followed orders methodically.
It's just that there was a leopard with five tails, bared its teeth and clenched its mouth, and moved forward recklessly, while the hiss of a little monster came from beside it.
"Hi, don't stop it," Zhong Yi looked over coldly and recognized the monster's real name.
"All demons abide by discipline. Otherwise, when I find the demon king, I will let him eat the undisciplined demons."
Hide folded his fangs and tucked his tail, and walked back silently, squatting behind a little mouse clutching its cheek.
As for the tabby cat, it sat on top of the tent and licked its paws from time to time.
Its round eyes looked at the stars in the sky.Tonight, the sea of clouds is rolling, the rain is light, and a blue dragon flies back north with the evening wind.
The big tent underneath, which was originally crying and hell-like, has never been so orderly and full of the sense of order that a hospital should have.
Except for the occasional Zhong Yi's angry roar, which made the kitten shiver in shock:
"A demon must have a demon's virtue, less gauze, it's very expensive! Do you think it's toilet paper that doesn't cost money! Pay me!"
