I survived with my sister in the doomsday

While eating breakfast, Su Keshan looked up and down at Feicui who was standing next to Chu Yuan, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my, this is Yuanyuan's friend, a girl?" She looked up and asked Chu Fangjun who was standing next to her.

Chu Fangjun seemed to be thinking about something and did not answer her question. Feicui looked up and glanced at her, also surprised by the beauty of the woman in front of her. She whispered to Chu Yuan beside her, who is this woman?

Yuanyuan answered with a bit of contempt and unhappily, "She's just a woman who always hangs around my brother."

Yuanyuan’s attitude surprised me. It seemed that she didn’t like this woman named Su Keshan very much.

Su Keshan was immediately annoyed and said, "Yuanyuan, I will be your sister-in-law soon, why do you still disrespect me?" After she blamed Chuyuan, she glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally. She felt that she was much more noble than us, and it was very puzzling to her that Yuanyuan treated us so politely but rejected her so much.

I quickly avoided her gaze, lowered my head and started eating, ignoring the gossip between them.

Chu Fangjun was the same as yesterday and did not support Su Keshan. Instead, he said lightly that they should not quarrel so early in the morning.

Su Keshan, who was despised, could no longer tolerate Chu Fangjun's attitude. She slammed the table in a rage and yelled at Chu Fangjun: "Who wants to eat at your house?" She turned around and walked out without looking back.

Seeing him leave, Chu Yuan said indifferently, "This drama queen has finally left."

I suddenly found it funny that these brother and sister really were wearing the same pair of pants.

After the meal, Chu Fangjun fulfilled his promise and asked me to follow him down the mountain to find government officials. I believed in his ability, because since he could mobilize official people to help him find his sister, it should be easy for him to help me find the person in charge of the original Exploration Bureau.

I still wanted to drive my broken van, but Chu Fangjun ordered me to get out of the car and not go out with him to embarrass myself.

This was my first time riding in a Rolls-Royce Phantom. I couldn't help but sigh that this car was so comfortable. It's great to be rich!

I just heard Chu Fangjun order the driver to drive to the temporary government office building. After arriving at the building, Chu Fangjun asked me to wait for him in the car while he went up to ask the leaders inside. Because of the lack of information, things that used to only require a phone call now have to be handled in person. Chu Fangjun said that he had subordinates who could do things for him, but it would be better for him to ask the government leaders in person about this matter, as he happened to have other things to communicate with the government.

I was waiting anxiously in the car. Fortunately, Chu Fangjun came out after a while. He got in the car and said that he had finished his work. He also helped me find out the current address of a former leader of the Exploration Bureau.

I asked if I could find staff from the Exploration Bureau if I went to No. 25 Shunfan Road now?

Chu Fangjun told me that even if we found a temporary office for the Exploration Bureau, it would be useless because all the information and dispatch information of the Exploration Bureau were buried in the collapsed Geological Research Institute during the earthquake. Our Municipal Geological Research Institute was built after the founding of New China. As you can imagine, the building is not earthquake-resistant. When such a large earthquake occurred, the building collapsed like a ruin.

The earthquake occurred around noon that day. Many people went home to eat and few people were outside. The earthquake came too suddenly and many people were unable to escape from their homes after the earthquake. Some died and some were disabled. There was no information so the surviving staff had to rely on themselves to return to the team. However, he found out about a cadre from the Exploration Bureau who was currently recuperating, so we decided to ask him directly.

I am very grateful that if Chu Fangjun had not been able to get this inside information directly from his network of connections, it would have taken me several days to find this leader who might know where my mother went to explore.

He drove the car to a group of garden houses that looked like a sanatorium. I saw that the sign on the gate of the hospital indeed read "Mid-Levels Garden Rehabilitation Center".

Finally, after some registration, we found a man in his 50s in a separate room on the third floor. He looked like a leadership figure who sat in the office all year round. After he understood the purpose of our visit, he sat up excitedly, grabbed my hand and told me that he really didn't know such a situation would occur. If he had known this would happen, he would not have sent comrades in the Exploration Institute to go out for this exploration mission. Now the whereabouts of his employees are unknown and he can't explain to their families!

I was also somewhat moved by his sincere and earnest attitude.

Our city originally had certain mineral resources, but after a period of mining, these resources were almost exhausted. After that, we began to explore everywhere for resources. Through professional analysis by the Exploration and Research Bureau, it was estimated that there might be oil and gas resources in the Tarim Basin, so they wanted to send a geological exploration team to conduct exploration in that area. Our country's policy is that if mineral resources are discovered, they can be mined in cooperation with the local government, so they could not wait to send a group of exploration personnel to the Tarim Basin, and my mother might have been among those staff members.

Every day before the earthquake, the exploration teams sent out would send back coordinates and descriptions of the work areas as data feedback and record them on file. On the day of the earthquake, they did report the possibility of an earthquake urgently, but the incident happened so suddenly that the earthquake began to collapse before everyone could sort out their thoughts. They didn't even have time to report this to their superiors. He only learned about this after he was rescued and woke up after the earthquake.

Therefore, as a leader, he does not know the whereabouts and safety information of the explorers.

After listening to him, I became very anxious. Is there no one who knows the exact coordinates?

The old leader in front of me said that the coordinates are in the information database, but the network is not connected now and the information cannot be extracted at all.

I started to have all kinds of thoughts. I just hoped that my mother was not in a mysterious cave in the deep mountains and forests, and that she was not injured or trapped. If those geologists were trapped for such a long time, they would probably be in great danger. If she was not trapped, she would be able to find a way back. Her father, son and two daughters are here with her.

Suddenly, the old leader seemed to remember something and said to me seriously: Maybe someone knows their approximate location? This person is Xiao Zheng from the Information Technology Department of the Exploration Bureau! His full name is Zheng Mingzhe. He is the first-line recorder of receiving information. If he is alive, he must know the coordinates of the last few days!

As soon as I heard the name, I knew that the person should be young, so I asked, "This person should be young, right?"

The old leader told me that Mingzhe is not very old but he was assigned to this department right after graduation as a graduate student. The kid is very smart and a backbone of the unit. I just don’t know whether he survived the earthquake, but if he is okay, he will definitely report back to the unit. He also heard that No. 25 Shunfan Road is the new address allocated by the government to their research institute, so he asked us to go there and take a look.

Okay, we still have to go to Shunfan Road to look for someone this time.

We said goodbye to the old leader and immediately went to No. 25 Shunfan Road. After asking around at No. 25, my heart was completely broken! I heard that the graduate student Xiao Zheng was on the death list and was confirmed to have been crushed to death in the rubble during the earthquake!

How could this be the result? I felt helpless and frustrated as if all my work for the whole day was in vain. Finally, I followed Chu Fangjun back to his villa. I told my grandfather the result, but he did not think that the day was useless. He comforted me and said that at least we knew that your mother finally went to Tarim. We will go to find her whenever we have the chance.
