Seeing that there were only four days left before the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Qi returned home. After answering a phone call, he couldn't sit still.
Huangfucai had no classes today, so she gave up her company duties and returned home to spend time with her husband during the day. Seeing him fidgeting, she felt a little strange.
"What's wrong?" the little fairy asked with a slight frown.
"These past few days, I always feel that something is wrong, and I feel so worried, as if something is about to happen." Xiao Qi hugged the fragrant little fairy, his face a little solemn.
"You're not talking about the geological disaster issue talked about on TV, are you?" Huangfu Cai thought thoughtfully: "We have been conducting early warning drills in the past few days. Is it really possible that there is an earthquake?"
Facing the increasingly urgent faxes from the Nongmen Mountains, the Sichuan Provincial Government does take it seriously, and early warning drills are an attitude.
It's just that everyone has never thought about how big an earthquake could happen in Sichuan, and they almost didn't take the government's warnings to heart.
Huangfucai's contact level is much higher, and he naturally knows about the US Geological Survey over the Nongmen Mountains. He also knows that they have been reminding the government recently. If they didn't have an agreement with the government before coming, their data would have been sent back long ago.
The United States has attracted widespread attention from the international community.
"I don't know, but we should take precautions." Xiao Qi muttered, "Cai'er, I want to go to the Nongmen Mountains."
"Why?" Huangfu Cai's heart tightened, and she took Xiao Qi's hand. Her pair of incomparably clear and pure eyes revealed worry: "Since there is danger there, why go there?"
"Su Xiaomei called just now and said that a group of experts from the United States have decided to evacuate the Nongmen Mountains and return to a safe zone." Xiao Qi said: "They believe that based on the current activity of the earth's crust,
The earthquake has only happened in the past half month, and Americans are not used to putting themselves at the forefront of danger. The data passed over and the phone calls made have no real feelings after all. I want to go over and take a look now.
.What is it like there?"
"Don't go!"
Huangfucai panicked all of a sudden. Determination appeared on her delicate dimples like mutton-fat jade, "You go, what should I do if something happens?"
"How could there be a problem?" Xiao Qi said with a smile: "Honey, I have a bodyguard, and you also know what I am capable of. Now that I know it may be an earthquake, I will take precautions against it. Direct disasters and secondary disasters
It doesn’t matter. Besides, there are so many earthquake and geological experts over there, and they themselves know how to avoid risks!”
"But I'm worried about you~~"
At this time, Huangfucai no longer felt lonely and in control in the company, and her eyebrows were furrowed.
But what disappointed her was that Xiao Qi's eyes were full of determination.
As the person who knows Xiao Qi best, Huangfu Cai knows that despite Xiao Qi's handsome appearance, his personality is actually that of a bull. No matter what he decides, there is no way he can be brought back.
Huangfu Cai thought for a while, then held Xiao Qi's big hand with a pair of jade hands. He put forward his conditions: "First, bring more bodyguards with you; second, call me every day; third, you have to
Promise, for me, you won’t take any risks!”
"good!"
Xiao Qi was overjoyed. He quickly hugged the little fairy in his arms and kissed her fiercely, "Baby Xiao Cai'er, I haven't given you a big belly to give birth to a baby yet. How can you take risks? Don't worry! I'll be back in two or three days... That's right.
, it’s still early now. We...ouch~~"
Huangfu Cai really couldn't stand his absurdity, so she stretched out her legs and kicked him away. She wanted to run away from the sofa, but Xiao Qi unexpectedly pounced on him again.
"ah……"
Amidst the exclamations, the beautiful and elegant little fairy was picked up by Xiao Qi. The young man was like a mountain king who came down the mountain to snatch his wife, and strode towards the bedroom with his beloved wife on his back.
…
When Xiao Qi arrived at the Nongmen Mountains, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
When they came out, everyone in the group was replaced by land cruisers. Don't tell me, in the past and present, land cruisers were the ones that traveled the most on the Sichuan-Tibet Line. There is a reason for this.
Firstly, the Land Cruiser's ability to pass through mountainous and muddy areas is absolutely overbearing; secondly, its parts are simple, easy to repair, and inherently less likely to break down; thirdly, it has a large space and is suitable for many people and supplies.
So even though it is produced by Japanese, it sells very well in these places.
Xiao Qi was coming to Nongmenshan Town. After careful consideration, Xing Hu gave up on the appearance of Mercedes-Benz and BMW off-road vehicles and arranged the most durable one for him.
As for which car to use, Xiao Qi didn't have any domestic plot, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to buy those foreign luxury cars.
Along the way, apart from feeling that the land cruiser was practical and reliable, Xiao Qi's thoughts were not at all on this.
The Nongmen Mountains are very large and stretch for more than 200 kilometers. Therefore, the joint working group of experts from the US Geological Survey and the China Geological Bureau is not in the same place. In the past month, they have changed to five locations.
What Xiao Qi came to now was their village station in the north-central part.
Nongmen Mountain is rich in products, so many people have lived here since ancient times. The village seems to be quite large, with about a hundred houses scattered throughout the village.
Xiao Qi knew that in fact, during the 512 Zichuan earthquake, the urban losses in Zichuan County at the center of the earthquake were quite small, less than one percent of those in Daoyin and Changming.
This is just like using a whip. If you shake the whip, the part close to your hand will not vibrate much and the force will not be strong. However, the tip of the whip a few meters away will vibrate greatly and the force will be strong enough to make the enemy ecstasy.
die!!
Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about earthquake disasters near Nongmenshan Town.
When Xiao Qi arrived, the group of people were warming up around the fire.
Even when the weather is hot outside in May, this mountain village deep in the Nongmen Mountains is still a bit cold and damp. Having a fire at night to drive away the cold is an inevitable choice for them to enter the Nongmen Mountains.
Nowadays, people's lives are better, and there are many things to eat and drink. In addition, the money given by the Fairy Company is enough. The villagers even set up a rack on the fire at night to barbecue some pork, beef, sheep, chicken and duck, with special
Hot sauce and slightly bitter tea were enjoyed by this group of hundreds of people.
Not to mention, in this kind of environment, all the USGS staff are used to eating Sichuan chili barbecue.
When Xiao Qi saw Dr. Smith and Dr. Andrew, one of them was eating red spicy chicken wings, and the other was eating fire-roasted semi-fat and lean pork belly.
The two of them are the leaders of the US Geological Survey who came to Sichuan last year. They are also famous academic and practical masters and enjoy prestige in the world.
But only Xiao Qi knew that the purpose of the two coming here was not that simple, but they came eagerly because they had received up to 10 million U.S. dollars from Xiao Qi twice.
American scientists are also ordinary people and need to live a good life, so as long as it does not violate their principles, they have no guilt at all about accepting sponsorship.
Xiao Qi thinks it's good to separate life and work. After all, how many geniuses at home and abroad in ancient and modern times are like Confucius?
As long as you make good use of the genius' intelligence, there will be too many other considerations that will restrict the development of the genius.
"Hey, Xiao Qi! Long time no see!" Andrew, who was more enthusiastic, raised his greasy hand to greet Xiao Qi.
The more traditional Dr. Smith also nodded to Xiao Qi.
Not only because he respects Xiao Qi's wealth and power, but also because of Xiao Qi's support for them these two times, especially this time, whether it is the early preparations or the current support of various materials, personnel, and relationships, they have been able to
Devote yourself wholeheartedly to your own data investigation.
Of course, if Smith knew that Xiao Qi was their biggest financial backer, he would probably be even more shocked.
In order to avoid suspicion, when they came to Shuchuan, Xiao Xu only met and chatted with them, but Xiao Qi did not show up at all, so Andrew said "Long time no see".
"Haha, yes, long time no see! But I have read a lot of your reports." Xiao Qi said hello to the others, sat next to them, and said with a smile: "What? I can't hold on.
Want to leave?"
Smith blushed a little, but still said sternly: "Mr. Xiao, you should know that scientific researchers have a spirit of sacrifice, but they do not consciously put themselves in extremely dangerous situations. Now we feel that the activities of the earth's crust are really dangerous.
, so retreating to a safe zone is the best choice, and it is also responsible for a lot of us."
Andrew also smiled and said: "Xiao Qi, if this place is likely to encounter earthquakes, landslides, mudslides and other disasters in the next ten days and a half, would you still be willing to be here? Only when a person is alive can he have everything, right?
I haven’t enjoyed my work and life enough,”
Xiao Qi also laughed. He came here not to prevent these experts from leaving, but to force them to stay in the most dangerous place. He was either too selfish or too idiotic.
"Don't worry, I'm here to take you back. But can the research data you sent really reflect the signs of earthquakes?" Xiao Qi pretended not to understand, "Do you know that there are some people outside recently?
In panic, we have already started large-scale disaster warning drills, and even I was frightened by your analysis and went to help stockpile billions of medical supplies."
The two looked at each other, and then the smiles on their faces disappeared.
Smith put down the food in his hand and said seriously: "I guarantee with my professional knowledge and quality of more than 20 years that there are definitely signs of earthquakes this time. The squeeze of the Indian Ocean Plate and the Asian Plate caused a large number of
The accumulated energy has now reached the edge of explosion, and an earthquake may occur at any time." (To be continued...)
