Chapter 271 Sleepless Tonight in Tokyo

Masao Sano walked aside, took out a pair of smart glasses, put them on, and then made a call.

"Mr. Wu Tian, ​​our house collapsed. Currently, 6 people have died, 12 have been injured, and 9 are missing. In addition, there is one more thing to report to you."

"whats the matter?"

"Dr. Shimizu tried to bring out the No. 3 tank, but failed and was pinned down. We just rescued him, but he died of his injuries before he could tell where the No. 3 tank fell."

"Baga, who allowed him to get can No. 3? Didn't you look for it?"

"That place has collapsed again and there is no way to find it. What I mean is that it is best to bury it completely to prevent the No. 3 tank from being damaged and leaking the contents..."

"Yo Xi, your suggestion is very good. I will arrange for someone to deal with it as soon as possible. You can take everyone in the house away."

"Hey, I'll send them home immediately and wait here for the people you send."

Masao Sano called everyone together and told them to go home quickly. Professional personnel would soon be here to handle the scene.

Now that there are constant aftershocks, if everyone continues to dig like this, something could easily happen.

Masao Sano showed leadership style by shaking hands or patting the shoulders with the employees at the institute, making these researchers feel the leadership's care before leaving.

In fact, everyone was in a hurry to leave. After all, such a big earthquake destroyed their workplaces. I don’t know what happened to their homes. Were any of the family members injured?

Seeing everyone disperse in a hurry, Sano Masao, who was talking a lot, suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat and coughed several times.

Sano Masao stayed until two o'clock in the morning, feeling chills all over his body, before waiting for the person sent by Chairman Wu Tian.

He just exchanged a few words with these people and pointed out the location where Dr. Qingshui came out, when they fainted.

This night, although Tokyo was still experiencing constant aftershocks, many places seemed to be back to normal thanks to the government's active disaster relief efforts.

At this time, news was being broadcast on the big screen in the downtown area. The earthquake was within Tokyo Bay, less than 30 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo, and the epicenter was only 7 kilometers deep.

The magnitude was an astonishing 9.1. Such a large earthquake occurred near Tokyo, which is the most densely populated area in Japan.

The major earthquake caused the collapse of many buildings around Tokyo, and preliminary estimates of the number of casualties were more than 32,000.

After Ichiro Fujino left the institute, he did not go home. He worked alone in Tokyo, and his family was far away in Hokkaido.

So he usually likes to have a drink after get off work. Even though there was a big earthquake before get off work tonight, he still didn't change this habit.

Fortunately, the buildings in the downtown area were basically not damaged, and some businesses were open as usual. This is the Japanese people who are accustomed to earthquakes.

However, the magnitude of the earthquake tonight was relatively large. Many people did not dare to stay in their houses and all rushed to the streets or empty squares.

The most severely affected areas in Tokyo are the suburbs, especially those near Tokyo Bay.

On the contrary, business in the downtown area has become better due to the sudden influx of people.

After Ichiro Fujino finished his drink, he went out and felt a chill in his body when the cold wind blew. He couldn't help but sneeze a few times.

A group of people happened to pass by, and they immediately stared at Fujino Ichiro with disgust, muttering why this man was so unqualified, and several young men even wanted to come over and teach Fujino Ichiro how to behave.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you."

Fujino Ichiro quickly bowed and apologized to the group of people, and then settled the dispute that almost broke out.

Fujino Ichiro shook his body and walked towards the subway station, and inadvertently saw the picture playing on the electronic display screen on the street.

That was the TV station's live report on the ongoing rescue. On the other side of the city, near Tokyo Bay, there was a buzz of people, and many people were busy rescuing people buried under collapsed houses.

The golden 48 hours after the earthquake are the best time to save these people.

Fujino Ichiro himself had just experienced this in the research institute, and some of his colleagues had been killed. It was also because of these things that he drank more than usual tonight.

He stared at the electronic screen with blurred eyes for a while, and when he was about to move on, he was stunned by the sudden change in the screen.

In the picture, there is a power outage around the rescue site, and only the rescue team's huge searchlights are providing lighting.

This rescue site is only about 1,000 meters away from Tokyo Bay. Under the light at this moment, the surroundings suddenly feel like sparkling waves.

Then someone at the scene loudly exclaimed, "Oh my god, the sea water is coming up, there is a tsunami!"

The reporter reporting from the front line also said loudly to the photographer: "Let's go quickly, this place will be flooded..."

Before he finished speaking, the camera captured a torrent of water, and then the camera stopped.

On the street, many pedestrians had just stopped to see this scene. Now they looked at the electronic screen without the display, and they all felt worried for them.

Fujino Ichiro's heart trembled. It seemed that the casualties from this earthquake were not small.

Unable to help himself, he sneezed again, wrapped his clothes tightly around his body, walked through the crowd, and ran to the nearby subway station.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and aftershocks continued.

There are more and more people on the street, and people are talking about it. The aftershocks tonight seem to be very loud, and the sirens of ambulances can be heard from time to time.

In the sky, the roar of helicopters can occasionally be heard in the night.

Some street parks are already overcrowded.

A lot of news is spreading among people on the Internet.

"There was a tsunami in Tokyo Bay. The sea water poured in for 6 kilometers. Many people had no time to escape. I really don't know how many people will die."

"Have you heard that the military has sealed off the area around the Donghai Nuclear Power Plant, and only people are allowed out but not allowed in? Did something happen to the nuclear power plant?"

"We don't have any fault zones here like in California, do we?"



Prime Minister's Official Residence.

"Sir, this is Professor Iwata Koji from the Department of Geology of the University of Tokyo. He has some special views on this major earthquake. I think I need to let him report to you directly."

Chief Cabinet Secretary Mizukawa Kazuhide brought a short, white-haired old man to the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister looked at Koji Iwata with a smile and said, "What do you think, Professor Iwata? I'd be happy to listen."

Iwata Koji seems to be a person who is obsessed with research work and is not very good at communicating with others. He did not exchange greetings with the Prime Minister, but directly said loudly: "Mr. Prime Minister, our Japanese country will face a disaster, and we must immediately evacuate the population.

!”

The Prime Minister frowned slightly, but still made an invitation gesture and said: "Professor Iwata, please sit down and explain your reasons."

After sitting down, Iwata Hongji couldn't wait to say: "That's it, I have been tracking the activities between the Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Continental Plate.

Last year, we applied for national funding and deployed many sensor devices along the Pacific coastline to form a monitoring network.

After tonight's big earthquake, I found that the entire underground of the Japanese islands was greatly impacted, and the rock formations in some places are in danger of collapse."

The Prime Minister immediately said: "Can I see the image of this surveillance network? I want to know where the rock collapse you mentioned will occur."

Iwata Hiroji opened the laptop he was holding and said, "I'll open the computer and show it to you."
