Chapter 556 The Great Earthquake Strikes Suddenly(2/2)

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Brother Jun called.

"Brother, where are you?".

"We were hiding from the earthquake at the bus station."

"Oh. It's raining now. Do you have a place to take shelter at the bus station?"

"No. But I can go somewhere else. I don't know what to do?"

"Then you come to Dahugou quickly. We are here at Liu Yujie's old house."

Mu Yi still has some impressions of the old house of Liu Yujie's family. When Brother Jun got married, he organized a fleet of cars for him and went there for a while. In his impression, the house was not high, and seemed to have one floor and one floor. The exterior walls were repaired.

The cement is plastered. It is hard to tell whether it is a brick house or a house with mud walls.

However, there was no other place to go now. Mu Yi quickly took everyone with him and carried little Lele with a strap. Holding an umbrella in one hand, he hurried to Dahu Gou...

By the time everyone hurried to the electric power building, the rain had already started to fall heavily. Everyone didn't even bother to get their shoes and pants wet and dirty, and started running quickly.

Panting, they ran towards Liu Yujie's old house. Brother Jun and Liu Yujie quickly welcomed everyone into the house.

Entering the house, with the shelter of the house, everyone no longer felt so cold. They sat down to rest. Liu Yujie quickly found a dry handkerchief for everyone to dry the rain on their hair...

After settling down, Mu Yi carefully observed the old house of Liu Yujie's family. Mu Yi felt that her house looked a bit like a house with earth walls, so he asked about it. The answer he received confirmed that it was a house with earth walls.

Not even ten minutes after confirming that it was a house with earthen walls, the aftershock started to shake again. And it was shaking more violently. It felt like even the tiles shook and fell. Everyone was a little worried, in case the earthen wall would be damaged by the earthquake.

What if the house collapses and everyone is buried inside?

After much deliberation, I decided to hide outside. But it was raining outside. What should I do?

Finally, I found the plastic film left over from Liu Yujie’s family’s corn cultivation and made a few simple “raincoats”. Everyone put them on the body. Again, Mu Yi carried little Lele on his back, and then put on the “raincoats”.

”.

Afraid that the "raincoat" would cover little Lele's breathing, Mu Yi's "raincoat" was not put on his head, but his head, neck, and little Lele were exposed. Then Mu Yi held an umbrella.

Just like that, everyone left the house together and stood on the road outside to avoid the earthquake.

There was just a big poplar tree outside the house. Everyone saw that the poplar tree was shaken violently. They didn't know whether it was shaken by the aftershocks or the wind and rain. Anyway, it was shaken violently, and the branches and leaves were mixed together.

Along with the sound of wind and rain, a strange sound almost whimpering came out. Everyone was very scared!

Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky, followed by a huge thunder. This huge thunder frightened everyone. Little Lele was also frightened and cried.

I had no choice but to go back inside the house. It was very dangerous to stand on the road. It was blowing wind and raining, thundering and lightning... It was really a terrifying night!

Everyone wanted to walk to the more open field ahead. That way, they would be far away from the big trees, and it seemed that they would not be easily hit by lightning. However, it was difficult to see the road clearly in the dark. And the ground was full of rain.

If lightning strikes the ground, the super strong current will definitely flow with the rain. So even if you hide in the ground, you will still be in the same danger. Even the actual danger of lightning is greater than the danger of earthquakes...

Everyone was shivering from the cold while standing outside during a thunderstorm night. What should they do? Mu Yi and Jin Baihe thought about it and decided to go back to the commercial street.

"Let's go back to the commercial street. After all, it is a cast-in-situ brick-concrete building. Compared with the brick house with prefabricated panel structure, the seismic strength is much higher. It is also stronger than the adobe brick house."

At this time, the earthquake seemed to have stopped. In fact, the aftershocks of the Wenchuan Earthquake had been shaking intermittently, but the intensity was much smaller. The energy did not even reach Xigui Lai, or it had attenuated so much that no one could

feel.

Everyone then returned to the old house of Liu Yujie's family, picked up their things, and called Brother Jun and Liu Yujie, and everyone came to the Mu family together...

Everyone didn't dare to sleep at night. After spending the first half of the night, they really couldn't sleep anymore. Everyone took turns to keep watch and let others go to bed. They slept for two hours and then changed their duties. In this way, they stayed up until dawn...

After dawn, everyone was very tired. There were two obvious aftershocks during the night. But no one ran away and continued to stay in the house.

After having breakfast, Mu Yi and Jin Lily gave Hai Wanqiu instructions on how to avoid shocks. They also told Hai Wanqiu not to run around in case of an earthquake. They carried Xiao Lele and went directly to the roof.

.Even if the building collapses, they can easily be rescued on the roof. At most, they will only suffer some injuries but will not lose their lives.

Then he went upstairs and made an agreement with his third uncle's family not to lock the roof door and to use the roof as an escape refuge for everyone.

At work, everyone actually has no time to think about work. They all gather together to talk about earthquakes, and then continue to pay attention to news reports about earthquakes on the Internet. In addition, they are more focused on how to avoid earthquakes and how to be able to sleep after falling asleep at night.

There is an earthquake "alarm" to alert everyone, let them use their intelligence and exchange experiences.

Finally, everyone thinks that it is easiest and most convenient to put the beer bottle on the edge of the table to act as an earthquake "early warning device". If an earthquake comes, the beer bottle will be shaken to the ground and make a loud noise to wake you up.

Everyone.

Mu Yi also got in touch with Xiao Qing and learned that Deyang was also seriously affected by the disaster. The school had arranged for them to live in a disaster shelter built on the playground. They told each other to pay attention to safety and take good care of themselves, and then hung up the phone.

After get off work, Mu Yi also went home to experiment with this beer bottle "early warning device". But he soon discovered its shortcomings. The broken glass slag from a broken beer bottle can easily be lost when everyone is panicking.

When I got up from the bed and ran away, I scratched my feet, and even if I fell, I would scratch other parts of my body. I had to change my plan.

So I tried many solutions. In the end, I found a beverage bottle, filled it with water, tightened the bottle cap, and placed a stainless steel basin on top of the beverage bottle cap. The solution was the simplest and most practical, the least dangerous, and the noise it made was the best.

Max. adopted this plan.

In the next few days, although aftershocks continued, their intensity had dropped significantly. So much so that Xigui could hardly feel the earthquake anymore.

The earthquake was also officially named the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake. The earthquake intensity was revised to 8.0 magnitude.

As the rescue team opened the rescue channel, pictures of the earthquake center were broadcast one after another. Only then did everyone truly see the huge destructive power of the earthquake. It was really devastating damage. The two mountains were like dumpling wrappers.

Under the huge force, they were packed together like dumplings in an instant... The building looked like it had been ravaged to pieces by the huge force...

On one side, the disaster area needed rescue, and on the other side, there was a team of rescue volunteers who spontaneously rushed to the disaster area from all directions. The influx of a large number of disorderly vehicles and personnel blocked the rescue channel... Soon the country discovered this problem and began to appeal through various media

Everyone, please stay rational and stop blindly rescuing people. The country has quickly organized specialized rescue forces to carry out work...

Mu Yi led everyone to silently donate three tickets to the Red Cross disaster relief donation box set up in the square.

Upon seeing this, Hai Wanqiu said: "This earthquake is really tragic. We can't help much. We can only do our best by donating a little money." Mu Yi took out another one.

I asked my mother to donate the money. This made her feel better.

After a few days, the work unit began to call on everyone to donate. Mu Yi and Jin Lily each donated two more. Then, they started calling on everyone to pay "special party dues", and Mu Yi went to donate two more...

In the face of this major earthquake, life is so fragile. Everyone lamented the preciousness of life, and lamented that "tomorrow or accidents, I don't know which one will come first." As a result, many Sichuan people's outlook on life has undergone tremendous changes.

One of the most striking features is that people suddenly become more consuming. Relatives and friends gather for small gatherings. Restaurant business has become particularly hot. Another feature is that the divorce rate has increased a lot. Many couples were originally still There are more and more people who are living a make-shift life. Nowadays, more and more people are "getting divorced if they don't get along"...

Some of the colleagues and friends around Mu Yi and Jin Lily also got divorced.

This major earthquake has passed. Many touching stories and advanced deeds emerged during the rescue and rescue operations.

On the afternoon of May 12th, the Prime Minister boarded a special plane to the disaster area, and studied and arranged emergency earthquake relief work on board. He arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan at around 19:00. He then went to Dujiangyan to direct the work, and chaired a meeting of the State Council Earthquake Relief Headquarters at 23:40 p.m. …

The people's soldiers braved the danger of constant aftershocks and raced against time to rescue people in the ruins... they overcame all difficulties to release floodwaters from the barrier lake... A province's counterpart assisted in the construction of a severely affected area... The teacher opened his arms and risked his life to protect the students under him, and his mother was dying Still nursing her baby, a 9-year-old boy dug out two friends from the rubble despite the threat of aftershocks. Volunteers used their bloody hands to lift up the survivors buried deep in the rubble, "Coke "Boy", "Pig is strong"...

"As long as there is a 1% chance, we will work a hundred times harder and never relax. Even if there is one person under the rubble, we will save it to the end."
