Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"That being said, there are so many casualties after all! We were not thoughtful enough!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Okay, brother, don't worry about this issue! This is a natural disaster, and human power is still very small in the face of natural disasters! You have done well enough! Remember to come early tomorrow. Our regiment has been awarded the second-class collective merit, and you have been awarded the first-class merit! This is your fourth first-class merit, right?" asked Captain Zhang.

"Indeed, the previous three were obtained on the battlefield in North Korea!" said Zhao Cheng.

"And when I heard the discussion at the meeting, it seemed that your level would be raised!" Captain Zhang suddenly walked up to Zhao Cheng and said in a low voice.

Zhao Cheng is now a deputy regimental-level military cadre. This time he saved hundreds of thousands of people. It is normal to award him a first-class medal of merit and promote him to a higher rank.

"Who told you that?" Zhao Cheng asked in surprise. How could Captain Zhang know such news?

"Hey, don't worry about it. I heard about it anyway! And the chief of staff also wants to transfer your relationship to our regiment, but it seems that the Peking Military Region does not agree." Commander Zhang felt a little regretful.

Zhao Cheng's main task in recent years has been to train security personnel for the Imperial Guard, and he has also taken over most of the training work. This was not Zhao Cheng's initiative, but was forced upon him by Captain Zhang.

"Brother Zhang, please stop teasing me. If I get promoted, I will be promoted to a full colonel. Why should I come here? Your rank is only at the level of a full brigade, and you only have the rank of a colonel, right? Why should I come here?" Zhao Cheng quickly stopped Captain Zhang from thinking about it.

This guy actually wants Zhao Cheng to join the Imperial Guard? How could that possibly be good? Wouldn't he be stuck here to death? Reporting to work every day? How could Zhao Cheng possibly be doing this?

Those at the military district can relax and not go to work, and those at the police station have been suspended for reflection. It's already annoying that they were drafted into the army when they were at their leisure time, and how can they be turned from temporary workers to permanent workers?

"Look at you, why are you still so angry? Didn't I tell you that the military district doesn't agree?" Captain Zhang looked at Zhao Cheng's anxious look and quickly joked.

"My brother Zhang, this is not a joke! What are you doing here every day? Standing guard!" Zhao Cheng said angrily.

"You, this is our glorious defense mission!" Captain Zhang said in pretended anger.

"No matter how glorious the mission is, you and the political commissar are enough. What should I do here? You don't need offensive talents!" Zhao Cheng said.

He could guess that it must be Captain Zhang who wanted to get him over. Good soldiers are popular everywhere, and no matter whether they are useful or not, he wants to bring them into his territory.

Captain Zhang knew that it was a bit of a waste for a talent like Zhao Cheng to come to his team, but he really wanted a soldier like Zhao Cheng! It was a pity that his rank was too high! There was no place to put him after he came.

Zhao Cheng chatted with Captain Zhang for a while and then went home. He didn't know whether the family had done what he asked.

Soon after dark, Zhao Cheng opened the door to his home. What came into view was a huge earthquake shelter that almost covered the entire open space in the yard.

Fortunately, Zhao Cheng had set up the framework before he set out, otherwise it might not have been possible to accomplish it relying on the women and children at home.

"Brother Cheng!" Xiuzhi was the first to see Zhao Cheng coming back. Her surprised cry made everyone hiding in the earthquake shelter turn their heads quickly.

"Brother Cheng, when did you come back?" Pingping also put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and quickly came to Zhao Cheng.

This earthquake has been reported to the whole country and the world, so Pingping also knew that Zhao Cheng was doing disaster relief work in the disaster area. After all, the unit number 8341 appeared on the screen and had been broadcast.

"I just came back today. Captain Zhang insisted that we have dinner in the evening, so I came back so late! How have you been these days? Are you injured?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Everything is fine at home. We have been living in the earthquake shelter these days and have not returned to our room. The street also came here, investigated and left!" said Tian Dan.

"That's fine. I've seen too many tragedies on my way back. There are even more collapsed houses, and many people have become homeless!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Brother Cheng, the epicenter of the earthquake is in Tangshan. What's the situation there?" Ye Juan put Zhao Wei Yu down and came to Zhao Cheng and asked.

"Alas, the losses are heavy! There is not a single intact house in the entire city. It is basically just ruins. There are more than 10,000 casualties in the entire city, and nearly a thousand people were swallowed by the earth!" Zhao Cheng said sadly.

"Dad, how could the earth swallow humans?" Zhao Weiyang walked over, sat in his father's arms, and asked curiously.

"Dad didn't see it specifically, but he heard that when the earthquake happened, the ground suddenly cracked open with a huge crack, and many people fell into it. When the earthquake was over, the ground suddenly closed up again, leaving only a long trace on the ground. It was the first time for many people to see such a scene. It was also the first time for Dad to know that this was how the missing people in the earthquake came about. No one saw them alive, and no one saw them dead!" Zhao Cheng's face showed a rare look of fear.

It is true that the power of nature is not something that humans can contend with. Not to mention that Zhao Cheng is now a person at the limit of his physical body, even if he is a superman, he would be stunned for a few seconds when encountering such a thing, not to mention that Zhao Cheng has not yet left the scope of human beings.

After hearing Zhao Cheng's description, the family was still frightened. This was the first time they had heard of such a disaster, let alone seen it.

"Oh, the world is so big and full of wonders! Who would have thought that the cracks in the ground could close again after an earthquake! It's like a big mouth that eats people!" Xiuzhi patted her chest, looking scared.

"Is it because of you that we avoided greater losses from this natural disaster?" Tian Dan asked.

"Well, when we came back from the training, we walked there and happened to see that all the wild animals in the city were behaving abnormally, and the cats and dogs were running away from the city. Isn't this chaotic scene a sign of the earthquake? So I led the Royal Guards directly into the city government and sounded the air raid sirens for the entire city. I also shouted several times with a loudspeaker before most of the people left their homes!" Zhao Cheng replied.

"Acheng, you are such a good person! Your disobedience this time may have saved hundreds of thousands of lives!" Tian Dan looked at Zhao Cheng with a happy face.

Zhao Cheng didn't deny this. The death toll from the previous earthquake reached 240,000, with over 100,000 injured! Compared to the losses this time, that was a true natural disaster!
