The next morning.
There are still a few more hours before the earthquake!
Dong Xuebing had not slept the whole night and was exhausted. But he persevered and helped the leaders of the Street Administration to evacuate the residents.
"Everyone, follow me! Go to the shelter! "
"Don't panic! Don't panic! Line up properly! "
"Guangming Garden is full! Let's go to West Street Plaza! "
"This way! Eh! Help that old man! Xiao Liu! Go and carry him! "
"Don't carry heavy things and electrical appliances! Evacuate the residents first! "
"Are there any people left in this district? Go and check! Go from house to house! Don't leave anyone alive! "
Dong Xuebing had seen this area in the papers before. This area was in ruins after the earthquake, and the houses in this era cannot withstand a magnitude 7 to 8 earthquake. That's why Dong Xuebing did not want anyone to stay in this area. He had ordered his men to evacuate the area, and hundreds of people were relocated to the shelters set up in the early hours of the morning. Soon, the area was empty.
"Director, everyone is gone."
"Are there any missing people?"
"No. We had checked."
"Alright. Let's go to the next location! Hurry up! "
Most of the houses and buildings in Guangming Street had survived the earthquake, and they did not collapse. Only a dozen districts and buildings were badly damaged by the earthquake. That's why Dong Xuebing needs to evacuate these people to prevent most of the casualties. If everything goes well, he might even be able to prevent all the casualties.
All the residents in these districts must be evacuated!
If not, the people inside will die if the buildings collapse!
Dong Xuebing boarded his car and drove to the next location. He took out his phone and called Zhou Yanru. "Chief Zhou, how's the evacuation going?"
"We are working on it. I had just finished evacuating the residents to the next district."
"What about other places?"
"Secretary Geng and Yuling have also taken their people to evacuate the shops and several factories in the commercial district. We have ordered the schools to suspend classes. Director Yu went to the community hospital. Several community medical centers and hospitals are fully prepared. Doctors and ambulances are already in place. If there is an earthquake, the injured can be sent there. Also, temporary tents have been set up outside the old hospital in Willow Lane that you pointed out in the drill. The doctors, nurses, and equipment have been moved outside."
"Alright. Any news from the district?"
"This … I'm not too sure. I didn't receive any news."
"What about the city? Have you found a place to transfer to? "
"Your article had caused many residents to evacuate last night. But most of them had not left, and the City Government did not say anything. Oh, Chief, I had received news that other than our district, Yan Tai County had also started to evacuate the residents."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "… Yan Tai County?"
"Yes. Other than our district and Yan Tai County, the rest did not respond to the earthquake."
"Who gave the evacuation order?"
"I heard it's a County's County's Mayor. She had suggested evacuating the residents during the Party Committee meeting this morning." Zhou Yanru replied. "Although the County's Party Secretary is against it, their Mayor managed to convince most of the people. She overruled the County's top leader and forcefully voted for the evacuation plan. She even said she will bear all the responsibility, and Yan Tai County had started evacuating the residents."
"… Ok."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing was shocked. He did not expect Xie Huilan to do this. He thought Xie Huilan will not agree to evacuate the residents. He had called her many times to persuade her, but she only said 'I will consider it.' That's why Dong Xuebing did not call her yesterday. He thought it's useless even if he called her. That's why Dong Xuebing still can't believe what Zhou Yanru told him.
They had reached the old district in front.
Dong Xuebing ordered his men to evacuate the residents and returned to his car to call Xie Huilan.
Ring … ring … ring … the line got through.
"Xie Huilan, it's me." Dong Xuebing replied.
"Haha, you finally remembered to call me?"
"You … I heard you had evacuated the residents?"
Xie Huilan laughed and nodded. It's chaotic on the other end of the line. "I had just made the arrangements this morning, and they are evacuating now. I am at the scene directing the evacuation."
Dong Xuebing hesitated. "You believe me?"
"… why should I believe you?"
"That article. It's about earthquakes."
Xie Huilan smiled. "To tell you the truth, I don't believe your article or earthquakes."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Then why?"
Xie Huilan replied. "You had caused too much trouble this time, and everyone is pointing at you. Haha … if I don't support you now, who else will? Don't forget we are getting married soon. You are me, and I am you. We cannot separate. "
"Xie Huilan, you … ah …"
"Haha … are you touched?"
"Yes. It's special."
"Now you know how good I am?"
"I know. No … I also knew it in the past."
"Then you must be filial to me in the future. After we get married, you will take care of the laundry, cleaning the house, and serving tea."
Dong Xuebing laughed when he heard this. "How can you be like this? Whatever it is, it will be mine."
"What's wrong? Are you not willing to do this? "
"I am willing. I am willing. Why don't you think I will let you do anything? I am worried about you. Alright. After we get married, I will be filial to you like how I treat my mother. I will take good care of you like the Empress Dowager. Alright? "Dong Xuebing joked.
"That's more like it. Hehe, this time, I've risked everything to accompany you on this adventure. If the higher-ups blame us in the end, we can only give up politics and go into business. You should be mentally prepared for this, right?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't worry. It won't happen."
"Haha … you are so confident?"
"When have I done anything I am not confident of? Huilan, to be honest, I did not expect you to support me to evacuate the people from Yan Tai County without asking first. I believe everyone in Yan Tai County will thank you in the future. I promise you! "
Xie Huilan's support filled Dong Xuebing with energy.
To be able to date Sister Xie, Dong Xuebing felt he is the luckiest person in the world!
