I survived with my sister in the doomsday

I didn't expect that Brother Chen had such a tragic family fate. It must be very difficult for him to raise two sons by himself. I was very moved and took the initiative to tell him that Lin Lin and I were both volunteers and came to meet him. I didn't expect you also live here. I just greeted Chen Si and Chen Zhen and heard about my sister-in-law...

Chen Qiang sighed silently and told me that the mother of the children died of heavy bleeding during childbirth. There was nothing we could do. I told the children early in the morning that we are all men in our family and we must not forget our mother who gave her life for them. After that, he leaned over and hugged the two children and patted their backs with his palms. He told the children that mom sacrificed so much just for you two to live well, and she said that she would watch you two grow up healthily in heaven. The two children obediently did the same action as Brother Chen and patted his shoulders, and answered sensibly, "Dad, tell mom that we are the strongest."

The two children understood the meaning of life at the age of ten. I turned my head to look at Lin Lin. I didn't expect that this boy turned his face to the side and touched his face randomly. I guess he was moved by the scene. He also lost his parents when he was very young. I raised my hand and patted him comfortingly.

After the atmosphere calmed down for a while, I changed the subject and asked, "Brother Chen, are you still maintaining order on the first floor?"

"Today is the day. I will be on duty tomorrow." Brother Chen answered me while placing the lunch boxes on the table and letting the children sit down to eat. After watching the children eat, he turned around and asked us, "Have you two eaten?"

I replied that I would go back to eat, and curiously asked: "What do you mean by going out on a mission?"

Brother Chen sighed and answered me, "We are almost exhausted from the field work these past two days. The earthquake caused too many casualties and there is a shortage of rescue personnel. The soldiers have been working on the rescue for a whole day and night without sleep and are almost exhausted. The signal outside is not working and the medical staff also need manpower to coordinate. In short, there are too many things to do and too few people, so tomorrow we will be responsible for the rescue and let the soldiers have a rest."

I suddenly felt awe. My God, while we were still calculating what to eat to fill our stomachs, the soldiers were already working so hard. No wonder they are said to be the solid backing of the country and the people, and are also our loved ones, the People's Liberation Army.

I said, what about the children?

Seeing how concerned I was, Chen Qiang told me confidently that it was okay, Chen Si and Chen Zhen were both sensible and obedient children, but if you and Xiaolin are free, it's okay too. The first time I met you, I felt that you are a responsible child and patient with your sister, and I trust you.

I felt a little embarrassed when he praised me, so Lin Lin and I quickly promised to take good care of our two younger brothers.

After saying that, it was time for me to go back for dinner. My grandpa and sisters were still waiting for me, so I said goodbye and left. When I got home, I told my grandpa about this. My grandpa felt that it was really not easy for Officer Chen.

While eating, I looked at Feicui who looked like nothing had happened and asked, "Who said they wanted to be volunteers with me today and then didn't get up?"

Feicui made a "tsk" sound and said that she had decided that for the time being she did not want to do the old maid's job of serving and delivering meals, as it was meaningless.

I rolled my eyes at her speechlessly, thinking to myself, you are just too lazy.

These two days, we basically had eggs in the morning, and at noon we would make an extra lunch box for the volunteers. I saved the extra portion for dinner. Together with the eggs I exchanged in the morning, my life at the rescue base was very comfortable and smooth.

The number in my space has been decreasing, and I am a little anxious. Now it has reached 227.66. If it continues like this, will it be the end of me? I didn’t dare to tell my family about my anxiety.

During the day, when Lin Lin and I go to work, we will ask Lin Lin to bring Chen Si and Chen Zhen to our room and let Zhenzhu play with them. I will take out Pocari Sweat drinks from the space for them to drink, and Zhenzhu will also teach them some questions. Logically, this is the time when school is about to start, but can school still start after the disaster?

Chen Qiang comes back very late every day. He is always exhausted. Sometimes when I go to 119 to send my child, I chat with him. He told us that the whole family is safe and sound at the rescue base. They are lucky and blessed by God. You don’t know what the situation is outside. It’s really miserable! There was a man who was pressed in the pile of rocks with only his head and neck exposed. When they went there, the man could still talk to them. They kept encouraging the man to talk for fear that he would not be able to hold on. But the man said that he would persist in living and find his family one minute ago, and he died the next second before the ambulance arrived. He persisted for so long but finally did not hold on to the end.

They also dug out a mother from the ruins of a bungalow. The mother was lying in a strange posture before their eyes, but after moving the mother away, they found that under her was the baby she was holding tightly...

There was also an elderly couple whose house collapsed. With the little strength left, they asked the rescuers not to save them because their house was built on the side of a mountain and it would easily cause the mountain to collapse again and bury the rescuers. They said they were old and did not need the rescuers to risk their lives to save them. They refused to be rescued and died in front of the rescuers.

As we talked, we all cried...

I asked Lao Chen when communication would be restored. Lao Chen shook his head and asked, "Have you noticed mosquitoes these days?" Lin Lin and I looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes, mosquitoes are rampant in summer, but how come they seem to have disappeared? We were so busy that we didn't even notice this problem.

We asked puzzledly what was going on?

Lao Chen said that he met an old colleague today, who has now been transferred to the Information Technology Department. He told Lao Chen that the earthquake was caused by changes in the earth's magnetic field, which led to a series of interferences. The navigation and positioning systems had collapsed long ago, and even insects and birds were interfered with. Aircraft and satellites had lost control and connection, and the electromagnetic waves in the air had been affected. The induced currents of power transmission lines and communication cables were also affected. Even if the signal tower was built, a stable signal could not be used. Now cities and military bases use the earliest communication facilities to exchange information.

I told my mother that she went on a business trip before the earthquake, and I didn't find out where she went. Now that I have no information, how can I find her? I felt very depressed, as if a huge rock was pressing on my heart. When I went home and told my grandparents and sisters about it, they also became depressed.
