"I can't talk about disturbing you. There have been a lot of things lately. I got up at half past five and am having breakfast now. Mr. Zhang, you are here so early in the morning. Is there something urgent?"
Mayor He heard the urgency in the other party's tone.
Zhang Hao ignored the politeness and immediately got straight to the point: "Mayor He, there was another earthquake in Shanshi Park last night. I didn't sleep all night. After thinking about it when I got up in the morning, I still feel that I should bring my second sister and the others back." p>
"Did it have an earthquake last night?"
Mayor He looked suspicious.
He was watching TV just now, and there was no relevant report on the news program, so logically there shouldn't be.
"It was shaken. Although the magnitude was only 4.3, it was so frequent in the past few days that it made people nervous."
This is the only excuse Zhang Hao can find.
Mayor He nodded: "Okay, since Mr. Zhang insists, I will instruct the Huicheng Chamber of Commerce to arrange for your second sister to leave as soon as possible."
"Mayor He, my second brother-in-law is still in San Francisco. Can you think of a way to send him to Los Angeles to join my second sister as soon as possible?"
Zhang Hao immediately asked.
At present, more than half of the traffic on the entire West Coast is paralyzed. Private cars can easily be stuck in the middle of the road, which is not a wise choice.
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. I'll call you and ask. It shouldn't be a problem."
Mayor He still has this kind of confidence.
"Thank you so much!" Zhang Hao said excitedly.
"Haha..." Mayor He chuckled softly, "It's a small matter, Mr. Zhang, don't take it to heart, just wait for my news."
"Mayor He, I would like to make a small request. Can you hurry up a little bit? To be honest, my parents are going crazy." Zhang Hao quickly begged.
"It's easy to say, please give me a message to the second elder, saying that the city will never treat meritorious officials badly, so they can rest assured."
"Okay, please."
As soon as Zhang Hao hung up the phone, he saw his mother running to him in a hurry.
"Er smash, what happened?"
"Mom, it's okay."
Zhang Hao quickly comforted him.
Li Dajuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, why are you shouting so loudly? You woke up both the big pudding and the little pudding."
"It's better to wake up. I'll take them both for a run."
Zhang Hao turned his head and glanced out the window.
The blue sky and white clouds outside the window, with the rising sun like fire, make people feel calm, relaxed and happy. However, it is a pity that in a short time, everything in front of you will become a luxury.
This opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again.
It’s better to seize the time and enjoy the last sunshine!
Soon at noon, Zhang Hao finally received good news from Mayor He. He helped his second brother-in-law get a plane ticket and arrived in Los Angeles at about three in the afternoon.
At eight o'clock in the evening, good news came again.
The private charter flight taken by Zhang Jiayi and his wife finally took off from the airport. If everything goes well, it will arrive in Huicheng in ten hours.
At this point, Zhang Hao was completely relieved.
……
At 1:05 a.m. on September 29th, Yandu time, just after 9:00 Los Angeles time, a series of strong earthquakes broke out in Sulfonite Park, and the earthquakes were felt stronger each time.
Everyone had a premonition that something was wrong.
This triggered a new wave of refugees.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Just two hours later, the disaster inevitably happened.
In a burst of earth-shaking roar, a destructive force spewed out from under Sulfonstone Park, eventually turning into a towering mushroom cloud.
Blocking out the sky and the sun is like purgatory on earth.
At the same time, the volcanic ash flow with a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour instantly destroyed everything within a hundred kilometers around the sulfite with a devastating force.
And it triggered a super wildfire.
At almost the same time, the "Dapeng" private jet landed on Honolulu Island, a crossroads in the Pacific Ocean, preparing to refuel midway.
Soon, the passengers on the plane learned about the eruption of Sulfonite Volcano. While everyone was rejoicing, they couldn't help but worry about their relatives and friends who had not left in time.
In an instant, the cabin turned into a vegetable market.
Zhang Jiayi was so frightened that her legs became weak when she heard this, and she hugged Steven's arm:
"Husband, do you think this is true?"
"Oh, I didn't expect that your brother was right. If it had been one day later, we might not have been able to leave." Steven was also frightened.
"Thanks to Xiaohao this time. If he hadn't been urging me last night, I would still be sleeping now!"
Steven looked at his wife solemnly: "Alice, I hope you are mentally prepared. If you leave this time, we may never go back."
"Ah? What about our farm?"
"The farm..." Steven said bitterly, "How long has it been and you still think about the farm? Ralston is too close to the Sulfur Stone Volcano, and it is probably gone."
"What a shame. If I had known this, I might as well have listened to Xiaohao and got rid of the farm."
Zhang Jiayi said with regret on her face.
Steven shook his head: "Fortunately, your brother collected our family's grain reserves, otherwise the loss would be even greater. Compared with others, we are lucky enough."
"But I just can't give in. It took me more than ten years to develop our farm to its current scale, but now it's all gone."
Zhang Jiayi covered her mouth and began to sob.
"Okay!" Steven quickly comforted, "Money is an external thing. As long as people are fine, it will be considered as a loss of money and avoidance of disaster."
"Easier said than done!"
"The worst we can do is wait until we get to Huicheng and start all over again." Steven encouraged softly.
Zhang Jiayi nodded, then suddenly became nervous: "Oh, I almost forgot!"
"What's wrong?"
"Husband, hurry up and transfer the family's savings to Xiaohao's account. If the bank goes bankrupt, it will be bad. This is the last money our family has."
Bank of America is basically a private bank.
It shouldn't last long.
"Yes, hurry up and transfer, I hope it's not too late."
Steven immediately opened online banking.
Although the couple responded in a timely manner, the result was still too late. I don’t know whether the network was disconnected or the bank server was paralyzed. In short, it was impossible to operate at all.
"Ah...my money!"
Zhang Jiayi burst into tears again.
To make matters worse, the captain walked into the cabin at this time and announced to everyone with a serious face:
"Sorry to disturb everyone, I just received a notice from the company that your schedule may have changed. Please get off the plane immediately when I read your name."
"Why, we have all bought tickets."
The passengers suddenly became angry.
Although Honolulu Island is far away from the American continent, it is still dangerous, and the biggest threat is tsunamis.
"We are not a civil aviation airliner and do not need to comply with relevant regulations. As for the ticket price, the company will refund you in full. Please cooperate with us."
After the captain finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and soon a dozen heavily armed police officers came in.
"Cooperate with your mother!"
"Don't let me get off the plane, I can add money!"
The captain was not moved at all: "Everyone, complaining and evading will not solve the problem. Let me remind everyone that there are many passenger ships docked on Honolulu Island. If you get off the plane early, you may still have a chance to board the ship. If you get there late, it will be really bad.
