“Earthquake! Run quickly! It’s an earthquake!”
Someone unknown shouted in the corridor, followed by the running and shouting of a crowd.
Earthquake?
Su Mian was shocked. Today was the 28th of April. She remembered that there had indeed been an earthquake in her previous life.
Unable to regard much else, Su Mian rushed out of the examination room while holding Rui Rui. The Chinese teacher and her husband, Xu Gang, were just coming over and Su Mian handed Rui Rui to Xu Gang.
The crowd was chaotic and at this time, the entrance to the stairs was already filled with people.
Su Mian and the others were on the second floor. Dean Li and several doctors were directing the crowd to evacuate. Fortunately, there were not many people hospitalised in this era and the entire county hospital was only one four-story building.
Half an hour later, all the patients and medical staff had reached the temporary relocation point.
People were still immersed in the panic of the shaking mountain just now and the aftershocks continued, happening three times while they were standing there. After things had stabilised a little, the Chinese teacher and her husband left the hospital with Rui Rui.
Su Mian remembered that the epicentre of the earthquake was in Fu’an City, 200 kilometres away from Bai County, so Su Mian and the others were not affected much here.
However, the entire Fu’an City had been levelled!
Su Mian tried to calm herself down. The first thing she had to do right now was to call Wei Zhen Hui and tell him the exact location of the earthquake.
In her previous life, Su Mian had also participated in this earthquake rescue operation, but the specific location had been determined one day after and many rescue opportunities had been delayed.
Su Mian borrowed the hospital phone and dialed Wei Zhen Hui’s camp number.
No one answered the phone for a long time.
Both Wei Zhen Hui and Wu Feng had been called to the regiment headquarters to hold an emergency meeting. They had also felt a strong shock there just now and the regiment leader had asked them to be ready for rescue at any moment.
When they returned to office after the meeting, Su Mian had already been on the phone for half an hour.
Wei Zhen Hui saw that it was an external line and answered the phone, “Hello, this is Wei Zhen Hui.”
“This is Su Mian. Wei Zhen Hui, I have something important to tell you.” Su Mian tried to calm her agitation. She had to convince Wei Zhen Hui that the epicentre was in Fu’an City.
“Go ahead.” The tone of Wei Zhen Hui’s voice was low. He stood straight with one hand in his pocket, but the cold aura from his body had dissipated a lot.
Wu Feng had taken the thermos bottle and was pouring water into the enamel jar when he paused quite obviously. Then he sat on his seat quietly and pricked up his ears.
He had never seen Wei Zhen Hui use such a tone when answering the phone.
Su Mian prepared for a long time before speaking, “The epicentre of the earthquake is Fu’an City. When you go on the rescue operation, you must remember to bring rescue tools. Fu’an City is an industrial city and the buildings are all reinforced concrete.” In her previous life, after the troops arrived, the soldiers did not have rescue tools and had used their hands to dig. Many soldiers had lost their nails.
“How do you know it’s there?” When Wei Zhen Hui asked this, he already believed most of it. Su Mian had too many secrets that he did not know of.
“Of the nearby cities, only the phones in Fu’an city can’t be reached.” Su Mian had already thought of an excuse, however, it was also a fact. After the earthquake in Fu’an City in her previous life, all the water, electricity, transportation, and communication had been interrupted.
The military at the capital had ultimately used this method to determine that the earthquake had occurred in Fu’an City.
There was no response for a long time and Su Mian became a little nervous, “Wei Zhen Hui, do you believe me?” She was afraid that Wei Zhen Hui did not believe her, “It’s true, it really is Fu’an City. You can call there and it definitely won’t go through.”
Su Mian was a little anxious. There was no reply on the other end of the phone and only the steady breathing of the man could be heard.
He definitely did not believe her!
