219: A disaster that shocked the entire nation!

CCTV News reported: According to the National Geological Monitoring and Management Bureau, at 2:32 PM on June 23, 20XX, the Wen County area of Chuan City was once again struck by an extra-large earthquake! The focal depth was 5 kilometers. The estimated range of fluctuation exceeds one thousand kilometers! Various local areas will simultaneously experience strong tremors!

Currently, in response to this sudden disaster, the state has immediately established a special rescue team to proceed to the disaster center and commence emergency rescue operations.

At the same time, Chuan City Fire Department, Chuan City Armed Police, Chuan City Emergency Rescue Center, and special forces have all dispatched their first batch of rescue teams, departing for the disaster area for emergency relief. The fastest estimated arrival time is around 5 PM local time!

It is understood that the energy scale of this extra-large earthquake wave has not yet exceeded that of the 2008 Wenchuan Great Earthquake. Experts have made a horizontal projection, estimating that the total number of affected residents in the disaster-stricken area this time may be significantly reduced compared to 2008!

However, the specific situation still requires rescue personnel to arrive on site and transmit real-time footage for detailed analysis!

Minutes after the earthquake, almost all mainstream news media and TV stations simultaneously interrupted their broadcasts with this shocking disaster!

An earthquake!

Decades later, the terrifying natural and man-made calamity once again swept through this place he had once visited!

No one expected that the long-sealed memories, the human tragedy buried beneath steel, concrete, and earth, would be reopened!

"Why is it Wen County again?!"

"What on earth is wrong with Wen County!"

"Wen County has another magnitude 8 earthquake! The heavens are truly unfair!"

"Oh my god, I am a survivor of the Wenchuan Great Earthquake and witnessed those horrific scenes with my own eyes! I pray to God to bless my hometown; it must pull through this time!"

"My hometown is also Wen County! My parents, who are over sixty, still live there! After the earthquake, I completely lost contact with them! Please, please don't let anything happen to them!!!"

Countless people learned about the earthquake through various platforms.

In an instant, major online social platforms were flooded with comments from netizens.

At the same time, as soon as the news was officially released, the whole country was shocked!

The reason for the shock was not why another magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in the country, but why the earthquake happened in Chuan City again!

After all, the most unforgettable terrifying earthquake in recent years, the Wenchuan Great Earthquake, also occurred in Chuan City!

And this was like a curse, or like an inescapable nightmare!

...At this moment, in Su Yu's live stream.

After completing the experiment with the first hex ant, he finally found some time to check the bullet comments. Su Yu was shocked to find that the number of viewers in his live stream had sharply declined.

Over two million online viewers were cut in half, dropping below nine hundred thousand!

Holy crap!

What's going on?!

Su Yu's eyes widened, momentarily finding it hard to believe.

It must be said that his live stream of hand-crafting hex technology, due to its high difficulty, did have less visual appeal compared to before. But he, as a tutorial Streamer, genuinely wanted to teach the techniques to his viewers!

A Streamer with such a selfless, artisan spirit, actually losing followers!

It's unscientific!

Moreover, for these technical teachings, Su Yu truly imparted everything without reservation. As for whether the fans could learn it, that depended on everyone's individual comprehension.

It couldn't be that fans left his live stream in a fit of anger because they couldn't learn, could it?

As Su Yu was wondering and puzzled.

Suddenly, several bullet comments caught his attention.

"Streamer, Streamer! An 8-magnitude extra-large earthquake just occurred in Wen County, Chuan City! You should be fine, right?!"

"Streamer, did you know Wen County just had another earthquake?"

"Brother Streamer, the Wen County earthquake won't affect you continuing the live stream, will it? We haven't watched enough yet."

Wen County had an earthquake?!

And it was an 8-magnitude extra-large earthquake?!

When Su Yu saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized why he looked up and found the number of viewers in his live stream had plummeted.

"Wen County? Is it the same Wen County where an 8-magnitude extra-large earthquake also occurred before?"

Su Yu found the place name very familiar and subconsciously asked in the live stream.

Someone in the bullet comments immediately responded.

"That's right! It's the same Wen County where an extra-large earthquake also occurred decades ago!"

"Streamer, logically speaking, that place shouldn't be too far from where you are. The earthquake wave was so strong, didn't you feel anything just now?! I felt the tremor in Yuncheng!"

Su Yu gasped.

He had been so focused on his research experiments earlier that he wouldn't have noticed an earthquake, let alone the sky falling. He probably wouldn't have paid attention for a while.

So, even if Chongqing could feel the aftershocks, he didn't notice any changes around him at all.

Coupled with the fact that the villa he currently bought is located halfway up the mountain, with a solid foundation and no excessively tall floors, Su Yu truly didn't notice the earthquake at all!

He put down his experiment and quickly opened his tablet.

At this moment, the news channel was broadcasting the latest updates on the earthquake.

Due to severe electromagnetic signal interference caused by the earthquake, and the collapse of signal base stations, the affected area was completely unreachable.

People outside couldn't contact those inside, and people inside couldn't contact those outside.

The first reporters to rush to the front lines had already arrived in the vicinity of Wen County.

However, according to the live footage from the scene, the main routes into Wen County were destroyed in multiple places due to landslides caused by the earthquake, making it impossible for cars to proceed.

But this couldn't be blamed on poor road construction quality.

It should be known that after the 8-magnitude Wenchuan Great Earthquake decades ago, when the local government rebuilt the county town and its surrounding road facilities, all construction standards were upgraded to the best!

However, if houses could withstand it, it didn't mean road surfaces could too!

Landslides and national highway tears were still uncontrollable.

Therefore, the reporters could only stop by the blocked and damaged roads, waiting for the subsequent disaster relief vehicles to arrive and clear the road conditions.

Since roads were impassable and survey missions couldn't be completed, they could only rely on armed helicopters.

Although the number of rescue personnel that helicopters could carry was extremely limited, the main purpose of the first batch of personnel entering the disaster area was not to immediately start rescue operations or deliver supplies, but to survey the specific situation of the disaster.

Through the aerial perspective from the helicopters, everyone finally witnessed for the first time what Wen County looked like after the disaster.
