At 2:32 AM on the third day of the Lunar New Year, a 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck Haishi. The tremors were strong, and some buildings collapsed. The government immediately dispatched the military and other forces to provide full support for the rescue of trapped people.
Fortunately, the epicenter of the earthquake was at sea, and the impact on Haishi was much smaller than expected. The situation was currently under control.
At 3:36 AM, Nan Ji arrived in Haishi with his team.
“President Nan, no, we can’t get through in this situation!”
His assistant tried to hold an umbrella for Nan Ji, but in the face of the torrential rain and strong winds, humans seemed as insignificant as a weed that could be uprooted at any moment.
Nan Ji was soaked from head to toe. He, who always cared about his image, had never been so disheveled.
But Nan Ji had no time to worry about his image now.
His most important family members were in grave danger, their fate unknown. He wanted to save them, but the weather held him back. Nan Ji clenched his fists tightly, realizing for the first time how powerless humanity was in the face of nature.
“When can we set off?!”
It was still uncertain when the next aftershock would occur. Nan Ji and the others were now standing in the empty square, surrounded by citizens seeking refuge from the disaster. The air was thick with panic and tension.
Nan Ji’s entourage had all gone to participate in disaster relief, while he himself was doing his utmost to mobilize all available resources.
“Mr. Nan, we really can’t be sure.”
His assistant, while confirming the situation with Liu Lujie via text message, answered Nan Ji’s question: “This storm came suddenly. It will probably be at least daytime before it subsides.”
Daytime?
It’s only a little past three o’clock now. There’s still so much time before daytime!
Moreover, nobody knows whether it will be possible to stop during the day.
What will Nan Yu and her companions encounter on the island?
An Ning is pregnant, and there are still three children there…
Nan Ji gritted his teeth: “What if we absolutely have to go?”
“Mr. Nan! It’s impossible! The weather is unsuitable for going out to sea!”
The assistant understood Nan Ji’s anxiety, but if they couldn’t go, they couldn’t go.
“You have to trust Miss and Madam!”
Nan Ji was about to speak when suddenly the ground beneath his feet began to shake.
He stumbled and fell to the ground, watching helplessly as a long crack appeared in the concrete not far away.
The second aftershock had arrived.
If it’s this severe on land, will An Ning and Yu Yu really be alright?
Screams, cries, and calls for help mingled together, making it impossible to remain calm.
But he had to stay calm.
“Have Ah Jie send more people. Anyone willing to come for disaster relief will receive a year’s salary as a bonus.”
“Yes, Mr. Nan!”
“And then there’s the issue of supplies…”
As the orders were issued, Nan Ji’s heart was as cold as his body.
But he absolutely couldn’t collapse; Yu Yu had promised him.
They would be alright!
Nan Yu and the others were also suffering from the second aftershock.
The already precariously holding-up shelter collapsed in half instantly, injuring several servants.
Fortunately, things didn’t get to the worst point. After half of it collapsed, the remaining half formed a relatively stable triangle. However, it was almost impossible to get out from inside.
They could only wait for rescue.
