244. National mourning
(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
Chamberlain knew that Li Qun was still angry about his attitude towards Richards, but could he blame him? Who made Richards's little white face look so handsome? It would be even more problematic if he saw Li Qun and that guy standing indifferently.
So he patted his chest and said, "You know, Sister Sweetheart, I am the most broad-minded person. It doesn't matter. Just let them chase you. I won't be jealous - even if I'm jealous, I won't beat them. I just want to beat them. The problem is that I don't know where Sichuan is."
Li Qun just teased Chamberlain, and she had already thrown the matter of Richards out of the sky. This is also one of the reasons why Chamberlain's parents support their relationship very much. Chamberlain was less than 20 years old and was a child in love life. Li Qun was much more mature. When they were together, Li Qun could take care of him a lot.
Chamberlain was holding the keyboard and racking his brains to stare at the Chinese characters on the screen. He could speak Chinese well and spoke fluently. Although Mandarin was full of Ludong accent, it could be considered Mandarin. But he stared at those complicated Chinese characters. He knew less than 200 Chinese characters, and this is thanks to him who lives in Chinatown, and many shops in Chinatown have Chinese characters.
Li Qun smiled happily when he saw him in a daze. She hugged Chamberlain's tiger waist and asked deliberately: "Why don't you type? Oh, I use the Wubi input method, how could you use the Wubi input method?" She said in surprise, then stretched out her slender jade finger and typed on the keyboard, and said, "Okay, I'll adjust it to Sogou Chinese input method, right?"
Chamberlain is a person who is willing to suffer for face. He knew that Li Qun had discovered his shortcomings but never admitted it. When he was racking his brains to find reasons to refute Li Qun, he suddenly saw that the avatars in the msn chat group were all gray. He immediately became happy and shouted: "Look at it, they are not online, why should I talk to them?"
Li Qun looked at the screen in surprise and found that the avatars in the group were indeed dim. She thought there was something wrong with her network, so she opened another chat group, which was also a fan group. Most of the avatars in it were colorful, and many people were greeting her: There was one thing she didn't say nonsense, and that was when she showed the photos, the male fans in the group were all excited, and they would chat with her as long as they had the chance.
This made Li Qun depressed. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why are those people disconnected?"
Another person sent a message. After Li Qun opened it, he subconsciously wanted to turn it off, but after she looked at the message in the dialog box, she could no longer press the left mouse button that pointed to the end button of the dialog box.
Chamberlain didn't know what was going on, so he blinked his eyes and looked at the dialog box, and finally recognized two of them from that line of words, which were the two words "Sichuan". There are many Sichuan restaurants in Chinatown, and the footprints of Sichuan cuisine have long occupied every corner of the earth except the North and South Poles.
Except for the word "Sichuan", Chamberlain did not recognize the other words. He didn't understand why Li Qun suddenly turned pale after reading this line of words, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Qun ignored his words, but quickly opened Google Chrome and typed a line of English "Sichuan Earthquake". After seeing this line of English, Chamberlain couldn't help but sank. He vaguely guessed what was said in the dialog box.
However, no useful information was found from Google. After several consecutive refreshes, Li Qun took out his mobile phone and called his colleagues in China. As a result, she made four or five consecutive calls but no one answered. In the end, Zhong Dajun, who had just returned to China, answered her call.
Li Qun's phone number was just dialed, but she hadn't said anything yet. The Zhong Dajun had already shouted: "Sister, you really know how to find time to call. I have something very important now. By the way, I have to tell you that a particularly serious earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan. The editorial department is withdrawing personnel to prepare to go to Sichuan for an interview. The grandsons of the Current Affairs and Information Department are all on vacation. Our Sports News Department can only replace them temporarily..."
Before Zhong Dajun could finish his words, someone roared on the other end: "Zhong Dajun, when is the hot next door? Get in the car and go to the airport right away!"
"I'll hang up first, do you hear the sound of your head?" Zhong Dajun hung up the phone in a flash.
Li Qun's pretty face was pale, holding the petite mobile phone in his hand, gasping heavily. His already perky peaks beat with her violent breathing. However, Chamberlain was not in the mood to go ****. He kept refreshing the interface of Google. Finally, the news was updated on the web page when Li Qun hung up the phone, and more than 500,000 news about the "Sichuan Earthquake" was updated at one time!
Immediately afterwards, msn also popped up the news dialog box, the title deepened and bolded in red, and said: "The strongest earthquake occurred in Sichuan, China. The earthquake magnitude is unknown. The radiation range is expected to exceed 3,000 square kilometers. The earthquake is expected to appear in areas with an estimated 2 million square kilometers. May God bless the Chinese! This is a disaster that is enough to make the whole world mourn! Let us pray for the people of Wenchuan!"
"How could this happen?" Li Qun looked at the screen and cried without tears. She opened the Sichuan fan group dialog box again, pointed to the words in the dialog box, and finally couldn't help but leave flowing water. She sobbed in a low voice, "Look, I was chatting with them a minute ago, and I promised to take you to Chengdu to participate in the NBA Borderless Event..."
Chamberlain took Li Qun into his arms. He looked at the time on the screen. The dialog box showed that the last time the fans posted the message was 14:28:08 on May 12, 2008, Beijing time. Chamberlain understood the message because it was an English sentence: "All compatriots in Sichuan sincerely welcome Optimus Prime to Chengdu!"
Immediately, the Sichuan fan group who had all been disconnected suddenly had avatars lit up again, and then countless information began to appear on the screen. Chamberlain could only guess the meaning of these words through the occasional English information:
"I was suddenly disconnected here just now? What's going on?"
"Why are there so many people disconnected? Isn't it the only one who disconnects myself?"
"Damn, the sky suddenly shaking and the earth just now. Is the Autobot really here?"
"****, it's an earthquake, it was a fucking earthquake just now!"
"What earthquake happened? Where did it happen? I'm in Chengdu and I feel it's shaking very hard..."
"It's Wenchuan from Aba, a group of idiots, can't search online? Sina, Yahoo, Tencent, Alibaba's headlines!"
Seeing the messages that were refreshing quickly on the screen, Chamberlain took the keyboard and typed it up: "I am Chamberlain, and Optimus Prime, the car people, leave the computer, leave your house quickly, go to the street, go to the square, the empty square, fast! fast! fast!"
After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on his blessing again, although he knew that all this had no effect in the face of natural disasters: "God will bless you, brothers and sisters, I will always be with you, I will definitely go to Chengdu to hold a football match, this year!"
After Chamberlain's words were heard, countless messages immediately appeared. These fans knew the identity of Li Qun, one of the group leaders, and also knew that she was with Chamberlain, so they believed in Chamberlain's identity, but this actually aroused their pursuit, because this was the first time Chamberlain communicated with them in the group.
Chamberlain's original intention was to hope that the fans would go out to the open area to avoid the aftershocks that might appear. However, these people chased him like crazy and sent messages. However, Li Qun was more experienced. She snatched the keyboard and sent only one line of words. Everyone stopped replying: "After this message, more than twenty people will reply. On behalf of Chamberlain, I will cancel the basketball boundless Chengdu area competition event!"
The fan group finally calmed down. Li Qun browsed the fan avatars of this group. This group is an MSN super group that can accommodate 1,000 people. Because this exchange activity has been agreed long ago, almost all 1,000 people were online before, but now, more than 100 avatars are still dull!
What Li Qun was afraid of was that if these more than 100 avatars never light up again in the future, what should I do?
The two snuggled together stupidly. After a long time, Li Qun reopened the Google searcher. At this time, there was a lot of information about the earthquake and it became more organized. Li Qun opened the official website headline of Yahoo China. Although there was not much information displayed on it, it was shocking:
According to the latest verification, at 14:27:59.5 on May 12, 2008, an unprecedented major earthquake occurred in Wenchuan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. The earthquake magnitude is expected to exceed 8 magnitude of Lich...

Chamberlain and Li Qun sat in front of the computer to refresh the Sogou page over and over again, paying attention to the latest information about the earthquake. Yao Ming then called. Before he could speak, Chamberlain smiled bitterly and said, "I know, Sichuan earthquake, you don't know. Li Qun and I were interacting with Sichuan fans in front of the computer, and then everything came."
Yao Ming said nothing on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally he said, "Da Zhang, go and have a rest, play your playoffs well, and then we will see you in Beijing. We have to come up with new results in this year's Olympics!"
Chamberlain hung up the phone, coincidentally, at this time, the men's basketball module of the official website of the US Sports Bureau also released the list of the 2008 Olympic men's basketball American Dream team: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Anthony, Michael Reed, Chris Bosh, Jason Kidd, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Chauncey Billups, Carlos Boozer, Techelle Prince!
