Finally, Dong Xuebing reached the last page of the report. It was a summary of the disaster in Guangming Street. Dong Xuebing was shocked to see Guangming Street had the highest number of casualties among all the streets and towns in Fen Zhou City. Guangming Street is ranked fifth in the list of casualties and injured!
Fen Zhou City is going to have an earthquake?! It's a magnitude 8.0 earthquake?!
This is Guangming Street after the earthquake!
Guangming Street Office's previous census showed there are only a few tens of thousands of residents!
— — Guangming Street Office's Secretary and Director Dong Xuebing resigned!
Dong Xuebing pinched the center of his brows. He had wanted to use his position to look for opportunities to get promoted to Deputy Division Chief. But now, he can't even keep his position anymore! Also, the number of victims was a pain in Dong Xuebing's heart. Those were the people under his jurisdiction, and as long as he was in charge, he had the responsibility and obligation to protect them. But now … … almost a thousand people were gone just like that???
Resign?!
Dong Xuebing was forced into a corner, and he had no way out. His fighting spirit soared. Since he knew there was an earthquake, he will not be able to escape. Since he knows there is an earthquake, he must try his best to salvage the situation!
The ratio of the casualties and injured to the total population is …
If the epicenter of the earthquake is in Da Feng County, then other than Da Feng County, Yan Tai County, and Nan Shan District are close to the epicenter. Once the earthquake happens, Dong Xuebing's location will be the most affected!
How did this happen?!
I am fired?!
After reading the report, Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead and kept the report carefully. He used the key to lock it in a drawer.
Almost a thousand people died?!
Dong Xuebing paced back and forth in his office. After finishing his cigarette, he stubbed it out and returned to his desk. He took a deep breath and picked up the newspaper again. His heart was racing as he continued reading.
Dong Xuebing doesn't dare to read it and threw the newspaper aside. He walked to the windowsill and lit a cigarette to calm himself down. This headline had shocked Dong Xuebing. China had experienced many earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.8 and above, but it is rare for an earthquake of this scale to happen in a densely populated city like Fen Zhou City. If it really happens, the consequences will be dire. Who knows how many houses, shops, and residential buildings will be left standing after the earthquake, and the number of casualties and injured will be in the tens of thousands!
Dead?! No! They are still alive!
Dong Xuebing quickly rummaged through his drawer and took out a map of Fen Zhou City. He quickly looks at the map.
The damage to Guangming Street was too serious. Even if the city streets were more densely populated than other towns, once the earthquake happened, the streets would definitely be more affected. But Dong Xuebing did not expect the area under his jurisdiction to be damaged to this extent. The second last page of the report gave Dong Xuebing speechless. Just within the Guangming Street District, the number of people directly or indirectly killed by the earthquake and the aftershocks had reached … 827! 2,100 people were injured! 121 people are missing!
Dong Xuebing cursed when he saw this!
Dong Xuebing continued reading the report. The next page, and the next page, are all about the damage to Guangming Street. The collapsed buildings, the affected areas, and the pictures are all displayed.
That's right. Although earthquakes are natural disasters and cannot be avoided, it is still possible to prepare for them. For example, the residences and commercial buildings now have earthquake resistance of magnitude 6 and 8, and they can barely withstand a magnitude 8 earthquake. Many people also have earthquake resistance knowledge, such as clearing the evacuation routes, etc. These are all accumulated through daily work. The leaders in charge of Guangming Street are responsible for the deaths. Or, even if Dong Xuebing is wronged, the higher-ups need someone to stand up and take responsibility. This is the reason why Dong Xuebing had to step down from his post.
Dong Xuebing saw his name at the end of the report.
Dong Xuebing banged the table heavily. He was furious!
One more month!
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. He had driven past this area and did not expect it to be in ruins after the earthquake!
"Fen Zhou earthquake has been revised to 8.0 magnitude!"
Dong Xuebing is furious. This is an unavoidable disaster!
Damn!
Dong Xuebing read the report page by page, and his face turns black.
Noon.
The earthquake is not here yet! Dong Xuebing is only reading the newspaper one month later!
There is still time!
This is not the day of the earthquake.
The earthquake is really coming?!
Damn! Those are human lives!
Dong Xuebing is only slightly more than a month away from stepping down!
Is this news true?
There is still one month left before the earthquake!
According to the report, the earthquake happened a few days ago, and the epicenter is confirmed to be in Da Feng County. The entire Fen Zhou City is the most affected area. Buildings are badly damaged, and there are still aftershocks. The death toll has reached 89223, 379112 are injured, and 35103 are missing. Dong Xuebing is shocked when he saw this figure. It is only a few days after the earthquake, and the death toll is already close to 100,000. When the aftershocks are over, the death toll … will be unimaginable. 100,000 people! How much is that? The severely affected streets and communities were almost razed to the ground!
Dong Xuebing's heart was beating fast as he held the Guangming Street Office's internal electronic report. His eyes were wide open as if someone had played a big joke on him!
Office, Secretary's office.
