Chapter 59: Blessings and Disasters (3)

The summer sunset should be a rose-like deep red. Although it is beautiful, it is fleeting.

However, the sunset tonight showed an ominous purple color. The balcony faced the northwest, and a large group of strange purple lights burst upward from the bottom of the skyline, blooming with twisted brilliance.

Waves of demonic wind ravaged Luo Quan's eardrums, and densely packed birds and bats screamed in panic and fled into the distance. At this moment, the ghost gate of the underworld seemed to suddenly open in the human world, and countless ghosts, monsters and chaos poured into the human world.

Indescribable fear was like a big hand holding Luo Quan's throat, making it difficult to breathe. Her pupils lost focus and fell into memories.

She and Wen Xia had both encountered similar situations before, in their previous lives in May.

"Go back to the room!" Junko was the first person to wake up from the chaos. Her gentle voice turned a little sharp, but it also made Luo Quan and Wen Xia come back to their senses instantly.

As soon as they entered the room, the ground began to shake. The three women hurriedly lay down under the long dining table. At the same time, Luo Quan's Junko's cell phone suddenly sounded a sharp and shrill alarm.

This is a unique function of Japanese mobile phones. Whenever a major disaster occurs, an alarm will sound. Many Japanese people joke that this alarm sound is more terrifying than the disaster.

As the shaking of the building intensified, the furnishings in the room gradually swayed, a dull rumble filled the entire room, and dust fell from the ceiling.

The three women squatted under the table and held their heads. Luo Quan and Junzi, who had regained their composure, looked relatively calm, while Wen Xia looked more frightened.

"This building is so high, can it hold up?" Wen Xia's voice was crying. They are now on the 20th floor. It is basically impossible to escape from this building under such a request. If the building collapses, then they I'm afraid not even the whole body can be left alive.

"It's okay. All high-rise buildings in Japan have been treated with earthquake proofing. They can withstand an eight-magnitude earthquake!" Luo Quan paused and added: "And this is not a direct earthquake. The left and right shaking will not cause much damage to the building. s damage."

Junko nodded: "Yes, this battle is not particularly big. The Fukushima earthquake five years ago shook even more violently than it does now. It was a direct earthquake. It felt like the whole building was jumping!"

"That's good..." Wen Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still trembling with the shaking room, and she couldn't calm down for a moment.

After about two minutes, the shaking finally stopped. Earthquakes are like this. They come and go as quickly as they come. The sky outside the balcony returned to its normal color. The birds and bats had long since disappeared, leaving only the swaying furniture in the room and the floor. The dust proved that everything that just happened was not an illusion.

"I survived..." Wen Xia rubbed her temples. The excessive fright and tension gave her a headache. She originally wanted to drink water, but when she got to the kitchen, she found that the kettle, cups, plates and other tableware had all fallen from the cabinet. The ground was a complete mess.

People reacted very quickly to the earthquake. In less than five minutes, the Internet was already filled with discussions about the earthquake.

"A 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in the Ogasawara Islands!"

This news quickly reached the top of the Japanese Twitter trend, and the number of comments quickly exceeded 100,000. Most of them reported that they were safe. There were also well-meaning people in the comment area calling for people on the nearby coast to get out quickly to avoid being caught. Flooded by tsunami.

In fact, in Japan, very few people died directly from the earthquake, and the vast majority were killed in the ensuing tsunami.

However, the Meteorological Agency of Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (Japan Earthquake Administration) quickly issued a statement stating that the earthquake would not trigger a tsunami and asked citizens not to panic unnecessarily.

Subsequently, Japanese television stations also quickly broadcast emergency news to inform the people of the disaster of the Ogasawara earthquake.

Although the magnitude of this earthquake was large, there have been no reports of casualties so far, which is fortunate among misfortunes.

TV Tokyo was playing cartoons as always, and the Japanese people who saw this scene finally felt at ease, quite a bit like if you are well, it will be sunny.

Due to its special geographical location, thousands of earthquakes occur in Japan every year. Of course, most of them are small earthquakes that are barely felt, but large earthquakes with strong earthquakes also occur every year. The people in this country have long been accustomed to earthquakes.

For example, those newspapers and journalists, when an earthquake occurs, their first reaction is not to find a bunker, but to point their tools at the crowd and record everything that happens during the earthquake.

The most famous one was the Fukushima earthquake. At that time, the Japanese Prime Minister was speaking in the National Assembly. As soon as the earthquake occurred, all reporters pointed their cameras at the Prime Minister and said: "We risked our lives today to expose the ugly behavior of Japanese politicians running for their lives." Share it with the world, please pay more attention and support!”

In the words of these media workers: I cannot run for my life. I still have a wife and children. If I die, I will have insurance and pensions. If I run away and are fired, my whole family will starve to death on the streets.

Although it sounds very dumbfounding, it is indeed what happened. Although most Japanese people are unlikely to ignore the earthquake like these journalists, compared with people in other countries, they are more aware of the earthquake. Earthquakes still have a very high psychological tolerance.

As a result, the earthquake did not attract as much attention in China as it did abroad. At least in China, after learning the news, all the top searches on Weibo were related to it.

In addition to being concerned about the disaster caused by the earthquake in Japan, there are also people who are concerned about whether something happened to celebrities in Japan. Wen Xia and Luo Quan are among them. The two of them also quickly posted on Weibo to report that they were safe. While being on trending searches, they also gave fans a little thought. Feeling a little more at ease.

Originally, the earthquake did not cause any casualties and should have subsided after being broadcast on the TV station. But at noon the next day, Japan was hit by another earthquake!

"A magnitude 7 earthquake occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture!"

This was completely unexpected. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake had just occurred in the Ogasawara Islands, and another 7.7-magnitude earthquake occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture the next day. Moreover, because the center of the earthquake was densely populated, 49 people were killed and injured in this earthquake. There are even thousands of people!

This is the highest level earthquake in the history of local observation in Kyushu, Japan. It is also the one that has caused the most casualties since the Fukushima earthquake. The continuous major earthquakes have caused the whole of Japan to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds. They are afraid of whether there will be another one. There is an earthquake, and the center of the earthquake will be where you live.

People's worries have become reality, and reality is often more severe than people feared. The day after the Kumamoto earthquake, misfortune happened again.

"A magnitude 6.6 earthquake occurred in Hokkaido, forty people were killed and more than 600 were injured!"
