The Witch's Taste

Chapter 289 Morning of the Third Day

earthquake!
The epicenter was northwest of Izumo District, so Izumo District bore the brunt of the earthquake and suffered the heaviest damage.

Fortunately, Izumo District is sparsely populated, so the difficulty of rescue is not too great.

As for the three neighboring districts of Higurashi, Kobe, and Sakaguchi, they also suffered varying degrees of damage. The farther away districts of Heian, Shinjuku, and Gunma only had obvious earthquakes.

But the problem is not disaster exposure, but disaster prevention... You must know that due to the previous rush to buy disaster prevention supplies, even if the vast majority of citizens do not believe in the existence of natural disasters, they at least know that there are similar rumors, which leads to a large number of people around. Crowds of people went to the supermarket for a shopping spree.

Now that the earthquake is coming suddenly, are the rumors true?
Supermarkets all over the country were once again robbed. This time, no disaster prevention supplies were restricted, and ordinary snacks were also robbed. As a result, these supermarkets were "nine out of ten rooms empty."

The current district government hurriedly held a press conference overnight, declaring that "this earthquake is an accidental disaster" and "Sunday's 'super earthquake' is purely a rumor" and "please believe in the rumors and refrain from spreading them."

However, as Chen Ziang expected, in many cases the more the government denies something, the less the people believe it.

After the collapse of the Kuomintang Party that ruled Takamagahara for nearly a century, the government's authority among the people has essentially reached its lowest point.The public's antipathy towards the Kuomintang Party cannot be equivalently converted into trust in the Democratic Party, let alone the "Shidi Run", "late night earthquake" and "the military's rush to buy disaster prevention supplies" and other incidents to prove it. These are things that the current sector government cannot explain at all, and even dare not mention at all.

Before the press conference, everyone just emptied the supermarket.After the press conference, people who had not bought the supplies formed a group and began to contact the factory owner to buy supplies in a group, trying to empty the warehouse.

So before the real large-scale natural disaster came, the secondary disaster happened first... In the early morning of the third day, that is, Saturday morning, many Far North citizens suddenly discovered that the surrounding supermarkets and convenience stores were all vacant and closed.

I can’t buy anything to eat!
Those who have food in the refrigerator are fine, but those who order takeout every day are in trouble. They can only knock on the door of their neighbors and plan to exchange money for some food.

So up to this point, the rumor that "there will be a huge earthquake on Sunday" has not yet been fulfilled, and the early impact it has caused has caused a mess in Jibei City. Almost no one knows about it, it is just a matter of belief or not.

However, as Xia Qingyu said, for the people to truly accept the fact that "the doomsday disaster is coming", a truly strong medicine is needed.

The masses are naturally united, and the island tribe is almost the best among all tribes in this aspect.Even if the volcano has really started to erupt on a large scale, as long as the people around them do not start to evacuate collectively, many citizens will stay in place stupidly, comforting themselves by saying, "I will wait until someone organizes everyone to evacuate before I run away."

The ultimate strong medicine...

Chen Ziang knew that after this strong medicine was taken, the first wave of casualties would appear soon, but now was not the time for women to be kind.

If the public cannot be awakened in time, tomorrow's earthquake and volcano will begin to erupt on a large scale, and that will be the truly tragic time.

The time has been moved forward to 10pm on Friday.The demonstrators who originally gathered at the entrance of the Guangyuan District Military Base have now gone back to grab supplies amid greater turmoil. As a result, the entrance to the base is empty and in a mess, with only a few sentries cleaning up trash.

Everyone held a meeting in the command room as usual.After these few days of command, except for those generals who were secretly recruited by the empire, the remaining people also formed a preliminary obedience reflex towards Xia Qingyu - to execute the order first and then think about it.

Of course, the most loyal thing is to execute first and then think about it. After thinking about it, you don’t understand but still execute it resolutely... But this is not achieved overnight. Xia Qingyu did not rush for quick success, but just ordered:
"Notice to all levels: All officers and soldiers are on half-day leave. Everyone must bring their families to the base before 9 a.m. tomorrow. No one is allowed to be left behind, and no one is allowed to be late. Adjourn the meeting!"

"Yes!" Everyone immediately stood up and agreed.

After leaving the conference room, although everyone did not communicate with each other verbally, the eye contact could not stop at all.

Even His Highness said so, so the rumors of "a huge natural disaster on Sunday" are probably true.It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. As the announcements from companies at all levels continued, the officers and soldiers also lined up in an orderly manner to leave the base and rushed to their respective homes... If it were not for the existence of a bigger news hot spot called "panic buying", the outside world would The media will definitely come to report on the abnormalities at the military base.

At 10 a.m. on the third day, as all officers, soldiers and related military dependents were counted, eight cargo ships had landed at the Guangyuan District military base.

Suzuna Tsukimiya commanded all night last night to buy and empty all the warehouses of major factories. This morning, she rushed cargo ships to the military base without stopping, preparing to transport people to the starships.

Although I didn't sleep all night, I looked very energetic and didn't look tired at all.

Chen Ziang was naturally also present. After all, Gao Tianyuan's military is their core team in the future. It is absolutely impossible for him to leave such important matters to others... But he also stayed up all night last night, so he is very sleepy now. , just force yourself to hold on.

Standing on the balcony of the command room, Suzuna Tsukimiya looked at the officers and soldiers lining up to enter the starship in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"The start this time is much better than in the previous life."

In the previous life, Gao Tianyuan was almost completely destroyed, but no savior came out to turn the tide. The number of surviving refugees was seriously overestimated by "not even one in a hundred".

Then the Federation completely squeezed out the humans in the territory. Suzuna Tsukinomiya wandered around with the refugees, constantly traveling from the Federation star area where they started to be anti-human to the federal star area where they were not yet anti-human. Along the way, small boats were replaced by big ones, and people died every day. To add in... how can we start with a super giant ship like now, with established military troops stationed, and extremely rich material reserves and production equipment.

It can be said to be a dream start.

Xia Qingyu sneered and said:
"You've been a human being for two lifetimes, but you still can't reach this level? I suggest you find a place to commit suicide immediately and beg fate to give you a third chance to try and make mistakes."

Tsukimiya Suzuna didn't retort, she just shrugged, glanced at Chen Ziang who was sleeping on the table behind her, and whispered:

"We are two people in two lives, but what about our senior? He has no memory of his previous life, but he can quickly accept such a cruel fact, and even come up with a complete and feasible strategy."

"Sometimes, I just can't help but think...if our predecessors had not died in the previous life, would they have led us on a different path?"

Xia Qingyu did not answer, but turned to look at Chen Ziang.

Her eyes stayed on him for a moment, then she quickly looked away, then turned and left without saying a word.

Tsukimiya Suzuna looked at her back, then looked at the officers and soldiers boarding the ship in the distance, silently holding the railing tightly with her hands.

Xia Qingyu, don't think that I don't know about the death of my predecessor in my previous life and what kind of black hands were secretly involved behind the scenes.

Among the officers, soldiers and generals in front of you, how many spies have been planted by your Xia family?

No matter how many there are, I will cleanse them all...

　The plot of Gao Tianyuan is over, and then we can continue writing about Shura Field.At this critical moment of the main plot, it is really unreasonable to be jealous!It is said that my fever has reached 40 degrees, and my desire to create is unprecedentedly high. I don’t know why.
