Nan Shan District.
In an alley on a bright street.
The ground beneath his feet seemed to be on the verge of splitting apart as a crazy roar rang out. The earth trembled, and a bungalow on the west side instantly collapsed!
Earthquake!
Even the dumbest person would know it was an earthquake!
This is not a small earthquake! It must be a magnitude 7.5 earthquake!
The owner of the destroyed house was standing in the alley. He and his wife were dragged out of the house by Peng Gang and the officers from the station. Their house was destroyed, and tears rolled down their cheeks. They knew if Dong Xuebing had not ordered the officers to drag them out by force, they would have died in their house. What's more, they had beaten up the officers before they were dragged out of the house. Seeing this, the eyes of the people who had been scared silly also reddened.
There was really an earthquake!
The Street Office did not lie to them! They did not want to use this opportunity to demolish their houses!
No one expected this to happen. Some of the people ran away, and the rest were stunned. Only Dong Xuebing was prepared for this!
Danger is imminent!
Rumble! One of the courtyard walls had collapsed!
Dong Xuebing steadied himself and shouted. "Hurry up and leave! Leave the alley! "
Zhou Yanru also shouted. "Hurry up and leave this place! Run! "
Only then did everyone come back to their senses. They screamed in fear and staggered as they ran out. Everyone knew that the safest place was an open space!
Peng Gang led the officers and was about to leave.
The officers from the Street Office also ran out of the alley.
But when Dong Xuebing was about to leave, he saw a few people from the corner of his eyes. It was Mr. Cheng, his son, and his daughter-in-law.
"Where is my grandson?" Mr. Cheng shouted. "Where is my grandson?!"
Mr. Cheng's daughter-in-law shouted. "He is still in the house! I … I did not bring him out! "
Mr. Cheng's son was about to shout, but the ground shook even more violently. Mr. Cheng fell to the ground and shouted his son's name.
Amidst the rumbling of the courtyard, the faint sound of a little boy's crying could be heard!
At this moment, everyone's heart tightened. There are still people! There were still people in the courtyard who had not been evacuated!
But at this time, the houses were collapsing one by one. The old bungalows here were too old and could not withstand an earthquake of this magnitude. If they wanted to go in and save people now, they would definitely die. Many of the neighbors who had a good relationship with Grandpa Cheng's family did not turn back at this time. They ran out desperately. Only Zhou Yanru, Peng Gang, and the others looked back. When they saw that Director Dong had not left, they became anxious.
"Director!" Zhou Yanru shouted, "Come here quickly!"
"Danger!" Peng Gang shouted.
Hula! One of the west rooms in the courtyard had collapsed!
Uncle Cheng's son had fallen on his leg, and he couldn't even stand up. His daughter-in-law was also frightened by the earthquake. Her legs were trembling, and she couldn't move a single step. On the other hand, Uncle Cheng, who was already seventy years old, didn't know where he got the strength from, but he rushed to the courtyard with his walking stick. He had to save his grandson even if he had to die!
Seeing this, Dong Xuebing immediately pulled Master Cheng back and said to Peng Gang. "Bring the people away! Retreat! "
Peng Gang and the two policemen quickly turned back. One carried Uncle Cheng on his back, and the other carried Uncle Cheng's son. They ran towards the alley.
"Let go of me!"
"My son! My son is still in there! "
"Let go! Let me in! "
Boom! Another house in Uncle Cheng's courtyard collapsed!
But just as Grandpa Cheng and his family were gasping in shock, a figure suddenly dashed through the collapsed door. It was Dong Xuebing!
Zhou Yanru was shocked. "Ah! Director! "
Uncle Cheng's daughter-in-law saw Dong Xuebing and cried. "Save my son! Please save my son! "
"Old Peng! Bring everyone away! "Dong Xuebing shouted from the courtyard." Leave my son to me! "
Peng Gang gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. "Go! Go now! "
Zhou Yanru turned and was about to run back. "Director is still here! Save Director Dong! "
"Stop Chief Zhou! Let's go! "Peng Gang's voice was hoarse.
Zhou Yanru's arms were immediately grabbed by the two auxiliary police officers and dragged away!
It had been more than 10 seconds since the earthquake. Normally, the first wave of an earthquake will last about half a minute. But within this half a minute, the entire alley had changed!
Out of the ten houses, five had collapsed!
The courtyard that Director Dong had entered was about to collapse!
Many people from the Street Office were panicking!
Dong Xuebing had reached the courtyard and heard the crying of the child in the East house. He immediately rushed into the main door! At this moment, Dong Xuebing cannot leave. Even if Uncle Cheng's family scolded them, or even if Uncle Cheng beat him on the head with his walking stick, Dong Xuebing will not leave a child behind. This was not only because Dong Xuebing was the Street Office Director and was their parent. Even if Dong Xuebing was an ordinary civilian, he would not do something like this!
Save him!
Dong Xuebing only had one thought in his mind!
He kicked open the door and entered the East house. It was a mess. All the tables and chairs were overturned!
"Is anyone here? Is anyone here? "Dong Xuebing looked around.
No one answered, but cries could be heard coming from the house.
Dong Xuebing looked into the room and ran in. When he entered, he saw a five-year-old boy crying under the table. The boy was holding his head and crying!
Dong Xuebing calmed down. But when he was about to rush forward to save the child, something happened!
The first tremor of the earthquake was about to end. But at the last moment, the old house could not take it anymore. A loud sound came from above!
The roof fell!
The walls collapsed!
The smell of death engulfed Dong Xuebing and the boy!
Dong Xuebing reacted quickly and shouted in his heart. STOP!
Time stopped!
The falling roof and tiles stopped about half a meter above Dong Xuebing's head. The debris and dust froze in mid-air!
Dong Xuebing could feel the lingering fear in his heart. He took a step forward and hugged the boy who was hiding under the desk. He ran out of the room through the cracks in the wall and stood in the ruined courtyard.
STOP stopped!
Time resumed!
A huge cloud of dust rose from the side!
After a loud crash, the East house disappeared. All that was left in the dust was the wreckage.
The little boy had hugged Dong Xuebing's neck tightly and buried his face in Dong Xuebing's chest, crying. He doesn't even dare to open his eyes.
Dong Xuebing patted the boy's head. "Be a good boy. It's alright now."
"Sob … I … I am dying … sob …"
"No. It's alright now. Let's go. I will bring you to your parents."
"Really?" The boy finally opened his eyes and looked at Dong Xuebing.
"Yes. Do you think I will lie to you?" Dong Xuebing hugged him, but his expression is not relaxed. He looked around cautiously and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
The first wave of the earthquake had passed, and the land had returned to normal.
But the entire alley was in a terrible state. Most of the buildings were flattened. This is the wrath of nature, and no one can stop it. The situation here represents the entire Fen Zhou City. Dong Xuebing's heart sank. He is worried about the people on the streets, Geng Yuehua, and the rest's safety. As he ran out of the alley, Dong Xuebing took out his phone to make a call. But the line is not connected. The control tower is also broken!
Damn!
… …
Outside the alley.
More than a hundred people were gathered at a small empty space.
These people were the survivors of the earthquake. Zhou Yanru, Peng Gangcheng, and the rest were also among the crowd. They were looking at the courtyard in the distance.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, Grandpa Cheng's courtyard disappeared!
Grandpa Cheng's daughter-in-law's face turned pale. She screamed and fell to the ground!
Grandpa Cheng also nearly gasped for air. His body swayed and he nearly fainted!
"The house collapsed! It's collapsed! "
"My son is still inside!"
"Chief Dong!"
"Ah!" Screams rang out one after another!
But after a while, a blurry figure suddenly walked out of the dusty ruins step by step. That person had blood on his forehead and shirt, but his footsteps were extremely fast. He was carrying a five-year-old boy in his arms as he walked out.
"Look!" A few sharp-eyed commoners pointed in that direction.
"Someone is out!"
"It's Chief Dong and the child!"
"They are out! The child is out! "
Grandpa Cheng's daughter-in-law shouted and got up from the ground. She stumbled and ran towards Dong Xuebing. She took her son from Dong Xuebing's arms and cried. "Xiao Hu! Xiao Hu! It's all my fault! It's all mom's fault for leaving you alone at home! Sob … sob … sob … My son! "
"Mum!" The little boy was also sobbing. "I was scared to death! Sob … sob … "
"I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" Grandpa Cheng's daughter-in-law regretted.
At this time, Grandpa Cheng and his son ran over excitedly. Grandpa Cheng saw his unharmed grandson and thanked him. But when he saw Dong Xuebing's head, which was hit by his walking stick, he held Dong Xuebing's hand tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! "
Dong Xuebing was satisfied to see his family reunited. "It's what I should do."
"I am old and muddle-headed!" Grandpa Cheng wanted to slap himself with a stick. The people from the Street Administration had kindly advised them to go to the shelter. Not only did he not listen, but he also beat up the people from the Street Administration. Now, not only did the leaders of the Street Administration not care about the past, they even risked their lives to save his grandson. This made Grandpa Cheng speechless. Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.
The hundreds of residents behind saw this scene, and tears welled up in their eyes.
