“Wait, don’t leave just yet!” Mr. Tang hurriedly ran back to his room and picked up the radio they had been using all the way.
“There’s no need to go, right? We have this. 1 contacted them before and told them to come over themselves. It’s faster that way, too!”
As he said that, he quickly operated the radio, but after a while, there was still no response from the other side of the radio.
Tang Susu and the others had just heaved a sigh of relief, but they were becoming tense once more.
“What’s going on? The more urgent it is, the less responsive they become!!”
“Don’t fret. Maybe they didn’t hear it because they were sleeping…”
■008!’ Tang Susu couldn’t wait any longer.
008 had no choice but to shift its focus from the sea and quickly began the search.
After a while, as Tang Susu wanted to personally go and look for them, Tang Mingqi grabbed her hand and refused to let her go.
008 suddenly said, ‘They’re in some trouble. They’re engaged with a T4 zombie, but they didn’t know it’s a zombie.’
Tang Susu’s expression changed. From T4 onwards, the zombies’ appearance would become no different from a human’s. If one was not sharp enough, it would be very difficult to discover the zombie. However, if they encountered a powerful T4 zombie, it was probably not as useful even if they were on their guard!
‘How are they doing right now?’
‘There are casualties!’
Tang Susu’s heart sank. Everything had to happen at this time. She was just waiting to leave since all the preparations were done, but issues kept popping up one after another.
“I’ll take a look. Don’t worry, it’s not that far.” She decisively told everyone and turned to ask 008, ‘What’s the situation in the ocean?’
‘It’s still very calm at the moment. 1 can’t detect any problems.’
As soon as it finished speaking, everyone felt their feet shake for a moment. If it weren’t for the sound of the chandeliers rattling above their heads, they might even think of it as an illusion.
Tang Susu, who was just about to leave, was also pulled tightly by her family in an instant and refused to let go.
“Susu, don’t leave yet. Focus on yourself!”
Tang Susu was also a little worried about them. No matter how important others were, they couldn’t be compared to the safety of her family.
“Damn, what’s going on? The vase on the table fell, and so did the murals!”
“Is that an earthquake?” Everyone was shocked.
Sang was indeed worthy as one of the top five in the Metahuman Squad. At this moment, he was still calm. “Don’t worry, Shichang City is not in an earthquake zone. Perhaps some underground creatures became active.”
Cao Huibao’s face turned gloomy when she heard that. She seemed to be even more terrified of what was going on.
At this time, 008 also gave an answer, ‘It’s an earthquake in Jieming City, and it also affected the surrounding cities.’
If cities so far away were affected, what about the sea?
As everyone knew, once an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide occurred on the seabed, the seawater would be shaken and form a huge energy that would spread out and form a tsunami that could reach dozens of meters high.
The seawater in that area had been rising day by day because of underground activities, and it was in danger of flooding the surroundings at any time. This earthquake had obviously aggravated the crisis!
Tang Susu quickly finished speaking to everyone, causing the atmosphere to become even more tense. She then looked at Sang. “Please send a message to everyone in the Metahuman Squad. Tell as many people as possible to escape while putting their personal safety first.”
She sounded like she was just suggesting. Her tone started gentle, but in the next second, she suddenly became serious.
“Dad, immediately use the radio to broadcast the tsunami warning message, no matter if anyone will be able to receive it!”
“Time and place!”
“The Yihong Sea, especially the coastal area, the entire Yangtong City, Jieming City, and Yanping City in the Southwest, time…”
“Ten minutes at the fastest, thirty minutes at the latest. That’s how much time they have to prepare.”
Everyone’s heart sank. “That fast!?”
Tang Susu was glad that she had suddenly thought of sending 008 to investigate that area. Otherwise, it was likely that they would be stuck by the impending tsunami before they could react to it.
However, home people might not be able to escape in such a short time.
But every minute and second that they could get would provide them all with a fighting chance!
‘The earthquake is still ongoing. The magnitude of the earthquake is only 3.5 to 4.8 on land in Jieming City. The epicenter is in the sea, and it has already reached magnitude 6… 6.3!’
‘The focal depth is about 25 kilometers. It’s estimated that it will cause a disastrous amount of damage!’
“Miss Tang, wait a moment! Eleven can teleport over and bring them over. He will be back soon!” Sang quickly stopped her, afraid that something would happen to her.
“It’s too late.” In fact, although Tang Susu’s movement technique couldn’t compare to Eleven’s ability, it could still achieve the effect of teleportation.
Especially after she leveled up tonight. She had a feeling that she could get even faster!
She also possessed all kinds of talismans.
Sang was a little anxious. At this moment, his boss went out again. However, in the next second, his eyes widened.
In less than a second, no less than half a second, Miss Tang disappeared from his sight!
It was so fast that Tang Mingchu grabbed the air. “Susu! Damn it, I’m going too!”
“Don’t get in her way.” Tang Mingqi held him down, but he also couldn’t control the worry in his heart. “Believe in her!”
‘According to my analysis, the tsunami will hit the coast in approximately 20 minutes. It will first reach Yangtong City and Jieming City. Yanping City will suffer less damage because of its higher terrain. Correspondingly, Fengxi City will be affected because of its location in a basin!’
Fortunately, the terrain of Shichang City was not that low, despite local tsunamis like this being more violent than the tsunamis that came from afar.
However, there was only so much water there, and the long coastline slowed down the impact of the tsunami to a certain extent. It was likely that the seawater would not be able to cross the cities to reach Shichang City.
But Fengxi City was being threatened.
The city might get drowned soon after, or it might be safe as the people there watched the neighboring city turn into a sea..
