Power and Wealth

Noon.

Office, Clerk's Office.

Dong Xuebin's heart jumped with the inside newspaper of the Light Street, staring at his eyes, as if someone had made a big joke with him!

Fenzhou Earthquake has been revised to level 8.0!

An earthquake in Fenzhou? Or a 8.0 magnitude earthquake?

Dong Xuebin dared not to read it anymore. He went to the window to light a cigarette, while smoking to calm his emotions. This news headline really shocked Dong Xuebin. There have not been more than 7.8 earthquakes in China, and there are still a lot of them, but it is still uncommon for a large earthquake of this magnitude to occur in a densely populated city such as Fenzhou City. If it did happen, the consequences would be unthinkable. Housing, shops, residential buildings, after the earthquake, I don't know how many more could be left. The number of people killed and injured would surely be tens of thousands more!

Is this news true?

Is the earthquake really coming?

Dong Xuebin walked back and forth in his office for a few laps. After smoking this cigarette, he severely extinguished the cigarette butt and finally sat back behind the desk. He sucked his breath and grabbed the newspaper in his hand. He bit his teeth and his heart jumped straight down.

This is not the newspaper on the day of the earthquake.

According to the report, the earthquake occurred a few days ago, the source of the earthquake had been determined, it was in Dafeng County, the entire city of Fenzhou was a heavily affected area, the building was severely damaged, the aftershocks continued, the number of deaths and injuries had reached 89,223, the number of injured was 379,112 and the number of missing persons was 35,103. Seeing this number, Dong Xuebin was even more shocked. It was only a few days after the earthquake, the number of people killed was almost 100,000. If the aftershock ended the statistics, the number of deaths would obviously be unimaginable, 100,000 people, what concept is that? Nearly all of the heavily affected streets and communities could be razed to the ground!

Dong Xuebin quickly flipped through the drawer and took out a map of Fenzhou City. He glanced at it with his quick fingers.

If the source of the earthquake is Dafeng County, except Dafeng County, Yantai County and Nanshan District are all close to it. Once the earthquake occurs, Dong Xuebin's location will become the worst affected area, and he can't hide from it!

Paralysis!

Why are you doing this?

Dong Xuebin is a little angry. This is definitely a scourge of heaven or an inescapable scourge!

He immediately shook the newspaper in his hands and wanted to see the extent of the earthquake, but this was the electronic newspaper of the Guangming Street Office. Most of the incidents involved were within the jurisdiction of the office. Except here, Dong Xuebin did not see the specific disaster situation in other urban streets. In the middle of the electronic front page are several news pictures, just one billboard that collapsed in the earthquake, crushing several cars driving down the street, most of the glass in the back office building was broken, a shop selling building materials next to it has collapsed, you can only see a split shop sign exposed in a pile of crushed bricks, a striking picture!

This is the light street after the earthquake!

Dong Xuebin took a breath. He drove past this place. I didn't expect it to turn into a rubble after the earthquake!

Take the electronic newspaper and look back, next page, next page, all the details of the disaster on the bright streets, the collapsed buildings, the severely affected communities, they all have pictures on them.

Dong Xuebin looked at it page by page, his face was getting ugly.

The disaster situation in Guangming Street is too serious. Even if the general urban street is much more densely populated than other townships, if an earthquake occurs, the street will definitely be more severely affected than the township. However, Dong Xuebin did not expect that the area under his jurisdiction would be damaged or injured to this extent. The number given on the second page of the electronic newspaper makes Dong Xuebin speechless. Even in the area of Guangming Street Office, the number of victims directly or indirectly caused by the earthquake and aftershocks reaches 827! 2100 wounded! 121 missing!

Seeing this place, Dong Xuebin said a bad word!

Nearly a thousand people were killed?

As a result of their last Census on the Light Street, tens of thousands of people live there!

The ratio of the number of people killed and injured to the total population is... At last, Dong Xuebin saw the last page of the electronic newspaper. Here is a summary of the disaster situation in Guangming Street. Dong Xuebin was stunned to find that, during the Fenzhou earthquake, the entire city of Fenzhou was hit by the disaster statistics. Guangming Street was the highest number of people killed in the city's street township. The number of people killed and injured in the city's street township is given later. Guangming Street is ranked fifth!

At the end of the electronic newspaper page, Dong Xuebin saw his name.

--Dong Xuebin, secretary and director of the Guangming Street Office, resigned!

After reading the line, Dong Xuebin patted his head, carefully closed the newspaper and locked it in a drawer below with the key.

To resign?

You got yourself killed, officer?

Also, although earthquakes are natural disasters, they cannot be avoided and cannot be resisted, but early prevention can be done by manpower. For example, residential and commercial buildings are now resilient to grade 6 and 8 intensity. They can barely resist grade 8 earthquakes. For example, there is some knowledge of earthquake resistance and the clearance of evacuation corridors. These are the accumulation of everyday work. The number of people killed in the bright streets is so large that it cannot be separated from the responsibility of street leaders. Or, even if Dong Xuebin is unjust, it is necessary to stand up and shoulder the responsibility, so as to give a description above, and also give the people a description, so that Dong Xuebin can get out of the stage.

It's a month away from the earthquake!

You've got more than a month to go before you step down!

Dong Xuebin squeezed his eyebrows hard, and said that using forward to look for opportunities, fishing for political performance, is enough. Who wants to even protect the officials now! Moreover, the alarming death toll constantly stabbed Dong Xuebin's heart, which is all the people under his jurisdiction. It is his duty and duty to protect their safety on any given day, but now... nearly a thousand people, say no??

Paralysis, that's human life!

Dong Xuebin slapped the table hard and his heart was stirred up!

People are dead? People aren't dead yet!

The earthquake isn't here yet! All I saw was a month later in the paper!

Dong Xuebin had already been forced to despair. There was no way back. He instantly stood up, since he knew about the earthquake! Then we must do our utmost to recover it!

One more month!

There's still time!!
