Just as Lu Yuan was busy with his plans, a breeze in Donghai, China, far west of the Pacific Ocean, a summer morning breeze caused people walking on the street to take a deep breath.

Jiang Zihan walked quickly under the sycamore tree on Jishan Road. Inside her long fluttering ears, the white earphones were playing a song "Next Second". The relaxed rhythm was combined with her happy mood, and even her steps seemed to be brisk.

She had a very good breakfast, and at this time she came to her workplace, greeted each colleague happily, and sat down at her desk.

Another wonderful day.

Jiang Zihan thought happily.

A few days ago, she finally completed the work assigned by the top leaders perfectly and received commendation from senior management. If there were no accidents, she would be promoted when the next month came. Even the minister of the department secretly revealed a little. I think it would be impossible to be wrong.

After all, she had been working here for only a year and a half and was promoted twice in a row. Although she was very happy, it also caused some people's dissatisfaction. She endured silently and worked harder every day. If there was no accident in this promotion, she would be transferred to the branch office as the director. Her efforts finally paid off and she couldn't help but feel happy.

But at the same time, the success of the career has failed on the contrary...

When he thought of this, Jiang Zihan's happy mood just now turned to disappointment.

"Zihan, I came very early."

Jiang Zihan's extremely annoying voice suddenly rang behind him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Liu Yi who was promoting his love for him in the department. This annoying guy who thought he was good-looking clearly said that he didn't like him, but he just liked to pester him. How could Jiang Zihan like him?

There were several times when Liu Yi became deeply entangled, and Jiang Zihan almost couldn't help but want to punch him.

"Whether I came early or not is your business."

Jiang Zihan said irritably.

"Hehe, Zihan, don't be angry. Women must maintain a happy mood so that they can get younger and younger."

"Okay, if you want me to be in a good mood, you should never show up in front of me."

"Yeah, that's OK, you should be free tonight, right? I want to invite you to dinner, Zihan, when you get off work..."

Liu Yi seemed to have not heard the meaning of rejection in Jiang Zihan's words at all, and he smiled and wanted to treat her to dinner tonight.

Jiang Zihan dared not agree. Liu Yi's entanglement caused rumors in the company. If he really agreed, everyone in the department would probably know that Jiang Zihan became Liu Yi's woman the next day, even if they did nothing.

"I'm not available, Liu Yi, you'd better stay away from me. I'm going to work, please leave here."

Jiang Zihan refused to say righteousness.

"Okay, I won't disturb your work, I will pick you up after get off work."

"you……"

Jiang Zihan was almost defeated by Liu Yi's deep face. When he was about to stand up and scold him angrily, a "crunch" sound, and the water cup placed beside the table suddenly fell down and hit the ground hard and turned into pieces.

"Hey, this is..."

He was startled by the falling water cup, and Jiang Zihan immediately lost his appearance.

Not only her, but Liu Yi next to him also changed color.

"rumble……"

The falling of the water cup seemed to be a signal, and the entire office vibrated. The desk, chair, folder, computer, wall, and ground were shaking. Jiang Zihan was so scared that he hid under the desk. Liu Yi, who was standing aside, swayed and quickly squatted down and grabbed the desk, his face turned pale.

earthquake?

The two quickly realized what was going on.

But...why did it suddenly get an earthquake?

Fortunately, the earthquake came suddenly and went quickly. It took only twenty seconds before and after, the vibration suddenly stopped, as if nothing had happened.

But looking at the ground full of documents, clear water and tattered cups, everything was telling Jiang Zihan that it was not an illusion just now, but a real earthquake.

At this time, Jiang Zihan was not in much mood to talk to Liu Yi. He immediately came out from under the desk, opened the office door and walked out, and found that there was a boiling outside. Everyone in the company was alarmed, and everyone looked extremely ugly when they stood. Jiang Zihan's familiar department manager was trembling with his hands. This woman, who was over 40 years old, usually looked like a strong woman, and always had a serious expression on her face. This was the first time she saw this look.

"Everyone is quieter, it's just an earthquake."

Donghai City rarely experiences earthquakes, but it is not that it has not been. The major earthquake that shocked the whole country in 2008 also affected Donghai City thousands of kilometers away. Many people experienced the feeling of an earthquake for the first time at that time, and panic was inevitable.

However, after all, earthquakes rarely occur in the East China Sea, and earthquakes are basically impossible to happen here.

Therefore, many people calmed down quickly. Jiang Zihan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and many people also walked over and looked down.

Standing at such a high floor and looking out, you can see that the street below is full of people walking out of the building, and the vehicles are also parked on the side of the road, instantly blocking traffic. The dense crowds are like ants gathering, and Jiang Zihan can imagine the noisy sounds below.

The facts have also proved that the earthquake did not happen here. Jiang Zihan took out his cell phone and found that the network was not affected, but an earthquake had just happened, and there was no news about the earthquake on the Internet.

The colleagues were also discussing where the earthquake occurred. However, within a few minutes, they received the order from above to move down first, do not take the elevator or take the emergency passage.

When walking through the emergency passage with dozens of floors, everyone would probably complain, but as soon as the earthquake occurred, not many people dared to complain, so they hurriedly walked towards the emergency passage in order.

Since the 2008 earthquake, news about earthquakes has always come very quickly, and more than five minutes have passed, and news has already appeared on the Internet.

A magnitude 8.5 earthquake occurred 300 kilometers southeast of Kagoshima, Japan, with the depth of the focal point 10 kilometers below the sea.

There was a clear tremor in many places such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Shandong.

Many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that the earthquake that did not occur in China was not the earthquake that occurred in China, the earthquakes in other places were really unrelated to them.

"Well, this earthquake is so close to Kagoshima, Japan, is that place okay?"

Someone hesitated.

"It's probably a terrible thing... Didn't the earthquake a few years ago set off a tsunami of more than 20 meters? When this tsunami comes, the people on the shore will definitely be miserable."

"It shouldn't be. The earthquake in 2011 was magnitude 9.0, and this time it was only magnitude 8.5, so there wouldn't be such a high tsunami. Besides, the Japanese are so experienced, so they must start mobilizing and evacuating now."

While walking towards the lower place, many people were talking, and they looked a little gloating.

Jiang Zihan sighed, looking a little uneasy, an earthquake is not a good thing after all.

...

In Los Angeles, the west coast of the United States, far east of the Pacific Ocean, the sunset was about to set, and the afterglow of the sun shone on the earth, shining on Franklin's face through the gaps in the sunshade windows, allowing him, who had been sleeping throughout the day, slowly opened his eyes.

"Well……"

After yawning, Franklin stretched on the bed, revealing his extremely strong black chest.

“Another wonderful evening.”

Franklin rubbed his eyes, got up and put on a T-shirt, pushed open the door and walked out.

There was no figure of his aunt in the hall, and it seemed that he had not come back yet.

That avoided his aunt's nagging, Franklin walked over and sat down, turned on the TV.

"Half an hour ago, a magnitude 8.5 earthquake occurred 300 kilometers southeast of Kagoshima, Japan, with a depth of about 10 kilometers. According to the local broadcasting association of Japan, a large number of buildings collapsed, and the specific casualties are still counted. The government is implementing an evacuation plan to avoid possible aftershocks and tsunamis in the coastal areas..."

"Ding Dong..."

The ringing of the doorbell made Franklin lose his attention. He came to his senses, stood up and walked out of the hall and opened the door.

"Hey, my brother, how many times did you do this tired look last night?"

Outside the gate, his brother Rama walked in without hesitation and hit Franklin's chest hard.
