The next day, at four o'clock in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.

As the sunlight shines onto the Forty-Nine City, it illuminates the surroundings and makes the entire Forty-Nine City agitated.

People began to walk out of their homes and looked around.

Some people came to the homes of people who needed help and helped sort out the rubble.

Subsequently, management units at all levels began to exercise their powers and led people to take action.

Many workers also came to the factory to check on the situation.

Then, information from all parties was gathered together, and under unified command, actions were quickly launched.

The first thing to be restored was power.

Last night, the power department had mobilized manpower to check the lines, find problems and carry out emergency treatment.

At dawn, the power supply to important departments in Sijiu City had been restored, especially the telephones had been connected, allowing all parties to communicate in a timely manner.

Steel Plant.

Yang Xiaotao was guarding the big pot in the cafeteria, stirring the spoon constantly.

When he came to the kitchen, there were a lot of things, but he couldn't handle it all by himself.

Besides, he was also sleepy and hungry, so he simply ordered some noodles.

There are ready-made instant noodles in the space, and Yang Xiaotao doesn't choose, just cooks them in packages.

Then throw in the eggs and chopped green onion, add oil and salt, and the pot of egg noodles is ready.

"Mr. Yang, your phone number!"

Just when Yang Xiaotao was tasting the salty taste, a person ran in from outside, it was An Zhongsheng, the director of the research institute.

"Phone? Whose is it?"

"It seems that he belongs to Secretary Liu and has something to do with you!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately handed the spoon to An Zhongsheng, "Let everyone eat something."

After saying that, he ran to the office.

When I arrived at the office, Wangcai was still wagging his tail and sleeping with his eyes closed.

"Secretary Liu, I am Yang Xiaotao!"

"Xiao Tao, I just received the news from above!"

"This time an earthquake occurred in Shunde, Hebei Province. The initial magnitude is estimated to be 7.0."

"Shunde, then, it's not far from Shicheng!"

Yang Xiaotao still has an impression of Shunde, which is located south of Shicheng.

But the Forty-Nine Cities further away from here have such a big influence. What will the scene be like in Shicheng, which is closer to here?

And how terrifying is the earthquake source?

Ji Province is a large and densely populated province. How many people were affected by this 7.0 earthquake...

Yang Xiaotao felt a little cold on his back.

I originally guessed that the earthquake might be around Sijiu City, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

With a magnitude of 7.0, this is definitely a natural disaster!

What Yang Xiaotao didn't know was that this earthquake actually happened in history, and its magnitude was 6.8.

It's just that this time is different from the previous one. The magnitude actually reached 7.0, which also caused greater damage than the original time and space.

While Yang Xiaotao was still sorting out the information, Liu Huaimin's voice came again.

"The call from Mr. Chen can't be reached in the area around the earthquake source. We don't know what's going on inside."

"I contacted the machine tool factory in Shicheng, but I couldn't get in touch."

Yang Xiaotao instantly understood what was going on.

Last time, Chen Bin and Pang Guo were sent to Shicheng to repair machine tools. It has been more than half a month and they have not returned.

When he contacted the other party, many parts were damaged and needed to be replaced.

Later, the other party felt that he had the ability to manufacture it, and also wanted to save some face, so he built it himself.

After a week of delay, it still didn't work, so I asked the machine shop to help make it and send it over.

It was just sent out a week ago. I don’t know what’s going on now, but I’m sure it’s still in Shicheng.

"Have you contacted the Seventh Machinery Department?"

"I asked, but the information over there is also unclear and I don't know the situation."

Yang Xiaotao's heart tightened, "Does the superior have any arrangements?"

"The news from Mr. Chen is that the nearby troops and militia have been dispatched to carry out search and rescue assistance."

"Others, there is no good way!"

Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'll talk about it when I get back!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, Yang Xiaotao took Wangcai out of the office and drove to the machinery factory.

Along the way, I saw people around me busy cleaning up the streets, and the scattered autumn leaves and branches were being sorted.

Some collapsed houses were also urgently cleared.

There were many ambulances running hurriedly on the road, and there were even people pushing platoon cars to the hospital.

Yang Xiaotao looked solemnly and drove quickly to the machinery factory.

I didn't notice it when I came last night, but now at dawn, I also found that the machinery factory was affected by the earthquake.

The security department at the entrance has been put under full martial law, and factory workers are also cleaning up urgently.

Yang Xiaotao quickly came to the office and saw Liu Huaimin making a phone call.

He found a place to sit down by himself, and then rubbed his temples.

"Yes, we do have people in Stone City."

"Yes, there is more than one, we must find them!"

"Local militia? No, we can't contact the place, so we can only inquire about the situation nearby!"

"Okay, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaimin looked solemn.

"Is there no problem at the steel plant?"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao sitting aside, he hurriedly asked.

"It's okay. One converter was damaged and several others were injured!"

"How about the factory director?"

"I don't know, I didn't have time to ask."

The two talked for a while, and Liu Huaimin turned the topic to the previous phone call, "I called my colleagues in Baozhou. There was an accident on the railway there to Shicheng, and repairs are being carried out."

"What's going on in Shicheng? Do they know?"

"Well, I know something. There are fires in many places, and communication cannot be continued."

"Then, our people..."

Ring ring ring

The phone rang suddenly, and Liu Huaimin immediately picked it up.

"Hello, I'm Liu Huaimin!"

"Chief, tell me!"

"Yes, I understand, we will arrange it immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaimin stood up and said, "Mr. Chen's call, he is going south now and has the troops around Sijiu City go south immediately for rescue."

"The armored vehicles from our machinery factory have been mobilized and will set off immediately as the vanguard. At the same time, the gas stations along the way must be prepared to prepare fuel for the team."

"Someone will call the car soon. Say hello to Lao Xu at the gas station as soon as possible!"

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao did not move, but pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they going to Shunde?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes. Waiting for rescue over there!"

"Have you passed by Stone City?"

"should be!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his head, "Then I'll take someone to follow me, just in time to go to Shicheng!"

"no!"
