c319 Unexpected disaster
“If I say, I will arrange this matter, and you will carry out the specific operations, do you have confidence in this?”
Chen Xizhou looked at Comrade Xiao Wang, waiting for his question and answer.
Comrade Xiao Wang’s original concerns were resolved by Chen Xizhou’s question, and he regained his former demeanor: “Of course there is no problem, District Chief, just tell me, I will unswervingly implement it!”
“Then come to the Alliance Building to find me tomorrow.”
“I will be on time!”
Because it was late, Chen Xizhou left the manor construction site after chatting with Comrade Xiao Wang for a few words and continued to move towards the city.
…
Alliance Alliance Building.
Chen Xizhou heard a bad news from You Zhen: this earthquake reached a magnitude of 4, and the area around Langqi Island was severely affected.
For those who have not experienced an earthquake personally, a magnitude of 4 may be just a number, but if an analogy is made, the concept of this string of numbers will come out.
The sub-n earthquake that occurred in Sichuan Province of the Huaxia Alliance was a magnitude 0 earthquake with a focal depth of more than ten kilometers, affecting more than one million people and an affected area of 12,500 square kilometers.
The sub-n earthquake not only caused multiple injuries to the affected people, but also caused serious troubles to the rescue work.
Fortunately, although the earthquake that occurred this time was similar in magnitude to the sub-n earthquake, there was only one strong earthquake and it did not last long.
In addition, the earthquake occurred during the day, and the area where the earthquake caused the disaster was sparsely populated, with only a few villages, so the rescue difficulty was not high.
Chen Xizhou did not care about the time to get off work at this time, and rushed to the disaster area urgently.
Northeast of Langqi Island.
Several newly paved cement roads were greatly affected, and a large number of cracks appeared on the road surface. Fortunately, these cracks were not large, and they were only village roads connecting the ring road. They could still be used after repairs.
However, there were several special sections of the ring road where the problem was serious.
Due to the terrain, several sections are either built on the mountainside or suspended in the sea. These special sections were twisted and deformed due to the earthquake and had to be demolished and rebuilt.
Chen Xizhou came to one of the affected fishing villages, Bihai Village.
The roads in the small fishing village were cracked, most of the stone houses collapsed, the coastline was also destroyed in the earthquake, many fishing boats sank into the sea, and the seawater had already rushed to the fishing village, causing huge losses.
You Zhen confirmed with the driver and said to Chen Xizhou: “District Chief, we can’t go forward, we can only get off the car and walk in.”
Chen Xizhou didn’t care and got off the car immediately to go deep into the disaster area.
However, he didn’t listen to You Zhen’s words and walk in, but released the Silver Companion War Beast from the Poké Ball, intending to ride the Pokémon into the disaster area.
Seeing this, You Zhen also released his mount, the lamb, and followed.
Seeing the two disappear, the driver Lin Fengyun, who was still sitting in the car, smacked his lips. Under such road conditions, it was indeed more convenient to ride a Pokémon than the iron lump he drove.
The damage caused by the earthquake was more serious than expected, but fortunately there were not many casualties.
When Chen Xizhou arrived, the rescue team was working hard to rescue the affected villagers and provide assistance to the villagers who lost their homes.
After a brief understanding of the situation in Bihai Village, Chen Xizhou and You Zhen rode the elves directly and headed towards the next affected village along the coastline.
Passing a beach, the two also encountered a dense group of giant crabs.
The upper part of the giant crab’s head and two crab claws are red, and the rest is white. There are two protrusions on the top of the head, and there are protrusions on the lower jaw that look like teeth. All six limbs are segmented.
The overall look is no different from a crab.
[Big Claw Crab! ]
[Big Claw Crab: Clear Water Crab Elf]
[Big Claw Crab will dig holes on the beach and live in them. It can be found on the beach. ]
[On the beach where food is scarce, you can see giant crabs fighting for territory. When they can’t find food, they will eat sand and absorb the rich nutrients in it. 】
【The claws are the powerful weapons of the giant crabs, and they also help them maintain balance when walking sideways. 】
【However, the claws of the giant crabs occasionally fall off when attacking, and new ones will grow out soon after they fall off. However, without the claws, they cannot walk sideways for some reason. 】
【If danger is approaching, the giant crabs will spit out foam from their mouths to wrap their bodies, making their bodies look bigger. 】
Keywords of the entry: giant claws
After reading the introduction of the entry, Chen Xizhou roughly understood why this group of giant crabs gathered on the beach: they live in the sand, and they must take shelter on the ground when encountering an earthquake.
“Are we unable to get through?”
It was the first time that Youzhen encountered so many wild elves, and he didn’t know how to deal with it. He was about to order his mount, the lamb, to attack, but was stopped by Chen Xizhou.
“Even if your mount, the lamb, has an attribute advantage, it will only lose in the face of absolute numbers.”
Chen Xizhou looked around and pointed to the cliff not far away and said, “Let’s go from there and bypass these big crabs. They shouldn’t care about us now.”
You Zhen stared and looked around, with doubt on her face, because there was no road where Chen Xizhou pointed.
“That’s the road!” Chen Xizhou patted the helmet of the Silver Companion Beast.
The Silver Companion Beast only stopped for a while, and soon started running, then jumped up onto the rugged cliff, and took Chen Xizhou over the cliff more than five meters high in a few moves.
You Zhen was shocked: Can the elf be used like this?
“Xiao Cao, can you do it?”
The lamb gave a positive answer to the question of his trainer.
After comparing the size of the lamb’s silver companion beast and the weight of himself and Chen Xizhou, You Zhen decided to let the lamb have a try.
The five-meter height was a bit strenuous for the lamb carrying a person, but that was only compared to the strenuousness of the silver companion beast.
Using the same power as the silver companion beast to jump, the lamb’s hooves firmly stepped on the steep cliff. The lamb used twice as much power as the silver companion beast and successfully sent You Zhen to the cliff to meet Chen Xizhou.
On the cliff, the trainer and the elf were particularly eye-catching.
Under the cliff, the waves hit the cliff, making a rumbling sound.
Although the scenery here is unique, because of the earthquake disaster, the two of them only took a quick look and left the cliff with a dull look, heading towards the next disaster-stricken village.
One good thing about riding an elf is that it can be used on any terrain as if it were flat.
As for bumps and such, in fact, as long as you adapt to the rhythm of riding an elf, such things will no longer exist or have little impact.
The northeast is the less populated area of Langqi Island.
All the people are gathered in the bay area because it has the most suitable environment for fishing.
Except for a few fishing villages, most of the nearby areas are uninhabited woods, beaches, and piles of rocks, and occasionally a few dilapidated stone houses can be seen.
Chen Xizhou looked far away from the rocky mountain and saw the ruins of Poseidon Village in the distance. He murmured: “This earthquake is far more serious than expected. The threat of the treasure of disaster must be taken seriously.”
He originally thought that the situation in Poseidon Village would be more optimistic, but he didn’t expect that the situation here would be even more grim.
Almost all the stone houses in Poseidon Village collapsed, and the few cars that were left were also overturned in the pile of rocks. The temporary rest area at the construction site of Poseidon Altar was also crooked.
The road leading into the village was blocked by rocks falling from the mountains on both sides, and even the rescue team arranged by the Special Zone Alliance was blocked outside.
The only thing that could remain standing was the huge and heavy statue of Poseidon.
The sky was extremely cloudy at this time, and there was a feeling of impending storm. Such weather conditions would bring more inconvenience to the rescue operation.
Fortunately, the Toad Kings were helping to clear the rocks and trying to reopen the intersection blocked by the rocks.
On the rocky mountain, the figures of Chen Xizhou and Silver Companion War Beast were extremely conspicuous.
After seeing this, the cadres in charge of the rescue ran over and shouted loudly to the rocky mountain: “District Chief, there are too many rocks here, can you send more people to help!”
Chen Xizhou was furious when he saw this scene: these people are too inflexible.
“Let’s go down!”
A few minutes later, Silver Companion War Beast and the mount goat carried their respective trainers to the blocked road.
However, Chen Xizhou did not stay at the rescue team’s side, but came to the dozen or so Toad Kings on the other side, and said to You Zhen who followed him: “Sister You Zhen, please let your mount, the lamb, use the green grass field.”
“Leader, please follow my command, let the tribe members recover their strength on the green grass field first.”
The Toad King leader immediately arranged for the tribe members to follow Chen Xizhou’s instructions, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner…
