When Anbu set foot on the boundary of Longteng City, she immediately realized that the disaster was more serious than she had expected.
The entire Longteng City was shrouded in a dead atmosphere. The streets were full of people and people, and seemed lively and prosperous, but in An Bu's eyes, it was like a black and white movie, gloomy and depressing. The concentration of dead air is so strong that even anger can't compete. There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that too many people die at the same time.
The city of Longteng is not yet the center of the disaster. The most deadly place is in Qianzi County in the north of Longteng City, which is also the area where the latest tourist attractions are located. Although it is not the tourist season, the opening of new scenic spots will inevitably attract a large number of tourists. At that time, the population will gather, and once an earthquake occurs, the casualties will expand infinitely.
However, earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that is difficult to predict. Disasters are often caused within tens of seconds or minutes. It is meaningless to reduce casualties if you only predict how many earthquakes will occur in a certain place within a year. . Although Anbu knew when the earthquake occurred, she did not have any appeal and credibility, and posting news online would only be regarded as rumors. So, she had to collect some evidence first.
On the bus to Qianzi County, Anbu took out his mobile phone to take pictures of the abnormal phenomena he saw along the way.
The air was filled with a damp and cold atmosphere, the trees on both sides of the road were rustling in the dull wind, a group of birds flew over the head, making noisy chirping, some water sources became muddy, fish floated up, poultry restless, rats migrated... These signs were scattered and widely distributed. It took An Bu and Jian Ningxuan two days to travel all over Qianzi County to collect a little evidence. Although it was not enough to prove that an earthquake was about to happen, it could increase certain credibility.
In the evening, the two returned to the homestay where they stayed, preparing to issue an earthquake warning.
Earthquake prediction is a worldwide problem. The government will not come forward to predict an uncertain disaster, so this kind of prediction is generally left to scientific research experts or groups. This also provides Anbu with operability, that is, to analyze and predict the earthquake from a professional perspective. The abnormal phenomena she photographed may not be able to convince experts, but it can win the trust of ordinary people to the greatest extent.
A tourism forum in Longteng Scenic Area—
[Red alert! A major earthquake above magnitude 8 may occur in Longteng City within ten days!]
An eye-catching post suddenly appeared on the forum. The poster made a preliminary analysis of the possible earthquake, giving people a rather professional feeling, but after reading it, all netizens scoffed.
[Lord, I don’t know much, don’t lie to me, earthquakes can also be predicted?]
[I believe that earthquakes can be predicted, but it is absolutely impossible to make accurate predictions. Like the landlord, if you predict that an earthquake of magnitude 8 will occur within ten days, it will be false at first glance.]
[Rumors are popular for a while, go out twenty yards.]
[Administrator, this kind of rumor post is still not deleted, keep it for the New Year?]
[(Administrator) This post is not harmonious, delete it.]
[Administrator V5!]
…
1 minute later, the post is still there.
3 minutes later, the post is still there.
After 5 minutes, the post was still there and was pinned to the top.
[administrator! ! ! How are you? ! Didn't you mean to delete the post? What do you mean by sticking to the top? ? ?]
[Is the administrator pumping his hand?]
[How much do you have to do to push a post to be deleted to the top?]
After 10 minutes, the post is still firmly on the front page.
After 30 minutes, the forum issued an announcement: [This forum is about to undergo system maintenance, and the service will be suspended during the maintenance period, please forgive me.]
Netizens: I always feel that something is wrong...
TianX community—
[Red alert! On March 6, 2178, a major earthquake above magnitude 8 will occur in Longteng City!]
A few hours later, a similar post was posted on the largest community forum in China. This earthquake forecast was not only accurate to a certain day, but also added many photos of abnormal phenomena.
[I'm going, is it true or not?]
[There is no trace of PS in these photos, and the shooting date is also the last two days, so they look real.]
[Longteng City has indeed experienced earthquakes before. I remember that the most serious one was magnitude 6. It occurred in a sparsely populated mountainous area and did not cause too many casualties.]
[The prediction time is so accurate, even the World Earthquake Monitoring Center can't do it.]
[Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway.]
[Lord, if the prediction is inaccurate, shouldn't you live broadcast eating shit?]
[Wait for the landlord to eat shit!]
[Wait and wait 1]
[Wait and wait 2]
[Am I the only one who thinks the landlord is going to be hot...]
[(Administrator) This post affects social stability, please delete it.]
5 minutes later…
[Is my webpage delayed? Why is this post still there?]
[It is still there.]
[The administrator may have gone to pee pee, and will delete it when he comes back after pee peeing.]
After 10 minutes, the post was pinned.
[? ? ?]
[Did the administrator wash his hands after booing? Such a showy operation?]
After 30 minutes, the forum system maintenance...
Earthquake Research Website—
[Red alert! On March 6, 2178, a major earthquake above magnitude 8 will occur in Longteng City! The epicenter was in Qianzi County!]
If the previous two posts were just testing the waters, then this post is a real warning. It not only announced the exact time and place of the earthquake, but also attached nearly a hundred photos of well water churning, fish and shrimp coming out of water, and ground light. Flashes, animals restless... A large number of abnormal phenomena all appeared in Qianzi County.
The post predicts that the earthquake will affect hundreds of thousands of square kilometers centered on Qianzi County, causing great damage. It appeals to the general public in Longteng City, whether you believe it or not, please leave Longteng City temporarily before March 6 to prevent Before it happens.
[Fuck, I live in Qianzi County, and I have indeed seen a lot of abnormal phenomena recently.]
[A magnitude 8 earthquake? Affecting hundreds of thousands of square kilometers?]
[Can the official come out and explain? Is it true?]
[Regardless of whether it is true or not, I have decided to live in another place for a few days tomorrow.]
[Upstairs 1]
After several fermentations, this post finally attracted the attention of some netizens, and then it was forwarded to Weibo and spread at a very fast speed, causing quite a shock.
Naturally, the relevant departments will not ignore such panic-making "rumors". In particular, the official organization of Longteng City publicly refuted the rumors immediately and quickly cleaned up related posts.
However, these posts are like a virus, and waves come and go, sweeping various forums and websites like a prairie fire.
Anbu couldn't convince everyone, so he could only use the most stupid way to give a warning. With the technical support of Jian Ningxuan, spread the news as much as possible. However, under the official refutation of rumors, most people expressed doubts about the authenticity of the forecast, and even lashed out. Those who were planning to leave also began to waver.
In order to save more people, Anbu pretended to be an earthquake expert, went door-to-door and told everyone in Qianzi County to leave Longteng City before the 6th and go to other places for a few days.
A large number of residents in Qianzi County moved, and the scenic spot business was also greatly affected. This incident quickly attracted the attention of the local police. While chasing down the people who spread "rumors" and demagogues, they comforted residents and tourists and told them not to listen to the rumors , stay in the local area with peace of mind. Many people were persuaded by them and gave up their plans to leave.
Anbu had no choice but to continue running around at the risk of being arrested. In the face of others' doubts, reprimands, cold eyes, and ridicule, she has no fluctuations in her heart, and she has done everything she can. Whether these people can seize life depends on their luck.
It was raining heavily outside the house, and Jian Ningxuan was about to go out to find someone, when he saw Anbu appearing at the door dripping wet.
"Mr. Jian, I'm back." She wiped the water from her face and said with a smile, "I'll take a bath first, and you can make me something to eat."
"En." Jian Ningxuan watched her walk into the bathroom with bare feet, and then her eyes fell on the pair of muddy shoes at the door.
After a moment of silence, he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Dad." Jian Ningxuan, who had never begged Jian's father before, took the initiative to ask him for the first time, "I want to ask you for help..."
Half an hour later, Anbu came out of the bathroom refreshed.
Jian Ningxuan prepared vegetable salad and juice for her, as well as a vigorous hug.
An Bu leaned in his arms with a contented face, sucking her cat beautifully.
Jian Ningxuan hugged her gently, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Don't go out tomorrow, take a good rest and go home the day after tomorrow."
"It's only 3 days before the earthquake, I have to hurry up." Anbu sat on his lap, drinking the juice slowly.
"If there is no accident, there should be a turning point tomorrow."
"Huh?" Anbu looked at him puzzled.
Jian Ningxuan didn't explain, but when the next day, the turning point really happened.
First of all, the speed at which the official posts were cleaned up dropped significantly. Later, some experts showed up one after another, released the seismic data of the last month, analyzed the causes of the earthquake and various evacuation measures. Although it did not directly support Anbu's prediction, it did not deny the possibility of an earthquake.
At the same time, the police in Qianzi County stopped persuading others to stay and let them decide on their own whether to stay or not.
An Bu felt very strange, and couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"
"I asked my father to contact several experts." Jian Ningxuan answered lightly. He knew in his heart that his father had taken a lot of political risks for him this time. Although he did not publicly support the earthquake forecast, from his standpoint, he should have suppressed "rumors" and maintained social stability, not the opposite. If this forecast is false, it may become an excuse for political opponents to attack him.
On March 5th, the post on the earthquake forecast was known to almost everyone, with some believing, some skeptical, some disdainful, some indifferent, with different responses. But it is undeniable that because of this post, at least 400,000 to 500,000 people in Longteng City chose to go out to seek refuge, but these people only held the mentality of believing it, and did not really realize the horror of this disaster.
Regarding this unknown earthquake, it also caused a lot of controversy within the relevant departments, and some foreign experts even participated in the discussion.
In today's world, no country has accurately predicted the time and place of the earthquake. The so-called "precise" means accurate to a certain day and a certain place. "March 6, Qianzi County, Longteng City" announced on the post is a very accurate prediction.
Many experts have expressed their opinions on the Internet. They believe that earthquakes are indeed possible, but they do not recognize that anyone can predict the precise time and place. Between the words, he mocked and reprimanded the poster. In particular, some foreign experts boast that their technology is more advanced than that of country Z. How can they predict things that they cannot predict, and countries that are behind them
Country M: [Earthquake prediction is a very rigorous matter, not a game for grandstanding.]
Country E: [It's hard to imagine that country Z would take a netizen's post as a fact, it's ridiculous.]
Country J: [If this earthquake prediction really comes true, the country is willing to spend a lot of money to recruit this poster.]
Country Y: [Hundreds of thousands of people in Longteng City went out to take refuge because of a rumor post, half of the factories were on holiday, the scenic spots were closed, and the streets were deserted.]
In the midst of ridicule, March 6, as predicted by the post, finally arrived.
No one expected that a "rumor post" that even the authorities could not clean up would attract such widespread attention. Not only domestic, but also many netizens abroad have become very interested in this matter.
There were more than 10 million people in Longteng City, and about 800,000 people chose to leave in the end. In other words, Anbu silently transferred 800,000 people with only one post, not including those who were planning to travel. Although the remaining people did not leave Longteng City, they did their best to stay away from Qianzi County, which was the epicenter. Qianzi County has nearly 500,000 people, only a quarter of them have not been transferred, and the rest have either gone to other places or have been evacuated hundreds of miles away.
At 9:51 on March 6, the air was oppressive and dull. Longteng City, which used to be lively, could only see a few pedestrians at this time, and many shops on both sides of the street were closed, making it extremely deserted.
The outside world is paying attention to Longteng City, and several helicopters with media logos are flying over the city from time to time.
There was also a live broadcast on the Internet, and many people sat and watched how this farce would end with the mentality of watching a movie.
Time passed, nothing happened, everyone gradually started to clamor, and turned on the mocking mode one after another.
[Now I admire the great god who posted, not only was he not harmed by the official, but he also convinced hundreds of thousands of people.]
[That great god, Jubi, is a highly skilled hacker, and his post forced several forums into system maintenance.]
[Hahaha, I am not convinced by the water and the soil, so I will obey this awesome man.]
[What's so funny, spreading rumors and creating chaos, this kind of person should be arrested and cut his throat for three minutes!]
[Seriously seconded! Everyone who spreads rumors should die!]
[The poor people of Longteng, who were terrified and left their hometowns, did not know who to turn to in the end.]
[If the earthquake hadn't happened, I would sacrifice Sanpao boy's urine to comfort the wounded hearts of the people of Longteng...]
Boom!
A muffled sound suddenly came from the ground, and through the camera equipment, it reached the ears of all the people who were paying attention to Longteng City.
At 15:25:0.7, Di Niu turned over and disaster struck.
With Qianzi County as the center, it radiated hundreds of thousands of square kilometers around, and spread to half of country Z. The earthquake was felt in dozens of nearby provinces and cities.
In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, screaming and roaring, like the end of the world.
