Everyone's footsteps became extra light, for fear of making a sound that would break the silence;

His hands also began to tremble slightly unconsciously, as if he wanted to grab something to resist the fear deep in his heart.

Everyone's heart was shrouded in a thick haze, and their emotions were so complicated that they were difficult to describe.

On the one hand, they were extremely afraid that the predicted earthquake that could destroy everything would really happen.

On the other hand, I have to rack my brains to think.

If a disaster is inevitable, how should we respond to minimize the losses?

Thirty-seven minutes passed... Thirty-nine minutes slipped away... Every minute passed.

Time is like a heavy hammer, hitting people's hearts hard.

When the minute hand finally stopped at forty-two minutes, the entire temporary command center fell into dead silence.

No one dared to speak easily, even the breathing sounds were deliberately suppressed.

Everyone stared at the clock with eyes wide open, their bodies tense, holding their breath, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

Suddenly, the originally quiet command center suddenly fell into a violent shaking as if the world was spinning!

This sudden vibration was like an invisible giant hand, shaking the entire building violently and pulling people back to reality from the ocean of thoughts.

Some people opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with shock, and even wondered if they were hallucinating.

However, the shaking of the ground beneath my feet became more and more intense, with no sign of stopping.

Just when everyone thought the earthquake was about to pass.

The electric light that was originally hanging steadily above my head began to swing wildly and violently, as precariously as a candle in the wind;

The tables and chairs that were originally neatly arranged now seemed to be drunk, swaying and leaning to one side.

As the shaking intensified, the water cups, documents, paper and pens on the table could no longer remain stable.

They were like dancers out of control. Under the influence of this powerful force, they scattered all over the ground, making crackling sounds.

At this time, people finally realized that the earthquake was far from over and it was still raging mercilessly.

The temporary command center suddenly became chaotic, with screams and shouts coming one after another.

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. They had never felt the power and terror of nature so vividly.

After a moment, everyone woke up as if from a dream, and rushed downstairs one after another.

Fortunately, the earthquake did not last long and stopped after just twenty seconds.

Although it was only a short twenty seconds.

In an instant, the entire Tang City was forcibly awakened by this earth-shaking tremor.

The streets and alleys of the city were filled with an atmosphere of tension and panic, and people were running around in panic.

Houses kept collapsing due to the violent shaking, and the ground was torn apart in many places in an instant.

Fortunately, before this, the street office, village committee, township office and production team had conducted a comprehensive survey of the housing conditions in the city.

Residents of buildings identified as dangerous were moved to safe areas in advance.

People in many collapsed houses have already been evacuated in advance.

Nowadays, in every corner of the city and on every open space, green military tents are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

These makeshift shelters have become a temporary refuge for the relocated residents.

Since the locations where tents are set up are usually carefully selected, the terrain is high, open and flat, so people living here are relatively safe.

After so many days of repeated drills, ordinary people have already gained a very deep understanding of earthquakes as a natural disaster.

Nowadays, everyone knows clearly what methods should be taken to quickly escape from the danger zone to ensure their own safety when an earthquake really strikes.

It consists of government staff, street office members, public security police officers, heads of villages and towns, and even production teams, etc.

The large working team composed of them played an extremely important role.

These well-trained and organized staff members were in the initial stages of the earth shaking.

He immediately engaged in the busy but orderly operation of directing the crowd evacuation.

Although natural disasters such as earthquakes are frightening, they are prevented from happening due to the accurate predictions and timely warnings made in advance by our great motherland.

The losses caused by this disaster have been greatly reduced compared to the previous life.

……

Looking around, many provinces in the entire North China region could clearly feel the strong tremors brought by the earthquake.

Fortunately, this time it was not only Tang City that was prepared, many other places also made response measures in advance.

This is precisely because of the valuable advance notice information provided by the key figure He Yuzhu.

Therefore, the earthquake in this life will never be as tragic and severe as the one in the previous life, in terms of the degree of destruction and casualties.

Recalling that terrible day in my previous life, the great earthquake struck suddenly without any warning when countless people were in sweet dreams.

The people at that time might not even have had time to fully wake up before they were instantly buried under the ruins of broken walls by the ruthless earthquake.

However, the situation is different now, thanks to a series of large-scale rehearsal activities and reasonable and detailed strategic deployment arrangements carried out previously.

In addition, there are thousands of dedicated staff members who work tirelessly day and night in their ordinary yet vital jobs.

In this life, due to a series of timely and effective preventive measures, the casualties caused by the earthquake have miraculously been reduced by 99%!

The key equipment of many factories has either been safely moved to other places for proper storage in advance, or has been strictly protected on site.

At the same time, ordinary people also showed great vigilance and self-protection awareness.

They sorted out and protected their most valuable possessions in their homes in advance to avoid possible losses.

However, regrettably, God does not seem to favor this land.

The heavy rain poured down like a torrential rain, making the escape route extremely difficult and creating huge obstacles to the intense rescue work.

The road was muddy and slippery, the vision was blurred, and every step forward was full of hardship and danger.

But fortunately, our brave and fearless people's soldiers are always fighting on the front line of disaster relief.

They uphold the firm belief of "never abandon or give up any of the people" and go all out in the search and rescue operations.
