    "Everyone observes a moment of silence!" In front of a ruins, everyone headed by the deputy mayor, Chen Xin and the leader of the rescue team lowered their heads and mourned for the victims under the ruins.

    After the results of the previous public opinion polls came out, the plan to bulldoze the ruins and rebuild homes was finally approved.

    However, despite this, when deciding on the construction plan, we still chose the plan that would cause the least damage to the remains under the ruins as much as possible.

    ¡°And before the construction started, the city government specially arranged this moment of silence, hoping that the dead under the ruins could rest in peace.

    The weather under the apocalypse is not to be said to be good, and the wind is very strong today. The snowflakes are blown up by the strong wind, and they slap and crackle on the body, even making people a little unstable.

    But no one moved or evaded. Everyone lowered their heads and sincerely prayed for the victims under the ruins.

    Not just here, in the settlement, all the survivors are doing the same thing.

    Everyone stopped what they were doing, stood silently and solemnly, lowered their heads, and mourned for the deceased.

    Even the injured who cannot stand up are still praying for those unfortunate people.

    On the Chenlong in the sky, the captain blew the whistle himself, making a long sound that echoed among the particularly quiet ruins, seeming to comfort the souls of the deceased.

    Strangely enough, after the moment of silence began, the violent wind actually stopped.

    It¡¯s as if God doesn¡¯t want the noisy wind to disturb the peace of the deceased and destroy the solemnity of silence.

    The moment of silence was not long, but the short three minutes felt very long. Many people shed tears because they thought of their deceased relatives.

    Chen Xin also lowered his head at this time, mourning the victims in silence.

    While just praying for the deceased and wishing them rest in peace, Chen Xin was also thinking about what methods could be used to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

    The disaster itself is inevitable. Apart from taking preventive measures and warning in advance, there is not much that people can do.

    ¡°Perhaps by upgrading the system, based on something in science fiction novels, we can finally upgrade to an instrument that can control the movement of the earth¡¯s crust and eliminate disasters invisible, but this is really too far away.

    For Chen Xin now, a more practical approach is to improve existing construction technologies so that the rebuilt shelters and cities can withstand disasters.

    Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but remember that the island country to the east is actually the one that does the best in earthquake prevention. After all, it is a country that experiences more than a thousand earthquakes a year, three times a day on average, which is even more than three meals a day.  Be frequent.

    Although most of the more than a thousand earthquakes are minor earthquakes that the human body cannot feel, it has to be said that the island country has indeed accumulated rich experience in this regard.

    Maybe you can learn from relevant construction experience and technology?

    Just when Chen Xin was thinking about this, the moment of silence ended.

    Although the mood is still heavy, the construction has started as planned.

    Watching the construction machinery begin to bulldoze the ruins where the remains of the victims were still buried, some people finally couldn't help crying.

    With this cry, it seems that the pressure and pain that everyone has endured during this period, as well as the sadness of losing their loved ones, have been released.

    But while releasing the pain, this cry seems to be like the first cry of a newborn, indicating that the city will usher in a new life.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Chen Xin did not stay at the construction site to watch the construction, but returned to the resettlement site.

    Although he has not been on the front line of disaster relief during this period, and has not even participated in disaster relief despite the obstruction of others, due to his identity, he has a more intuitive and real feeling about this disaster.

    For ordinary people, perhaps all they can feel is the death of loved ones around them and the suffering they have suffered.

    The death toll of 300,000 people in a city is a very intuitive number. For survivors, their most intuitive feeling is that their loved ones are dead.

    This is enough to occupy all their minds, and they are unable to think about the damage caused by this disaster in addition to the death of their loved ones and the destruction of their homes.

    However, for Chen Xin, the death of 300,000 people was only the number of victims in this city.

    His status allows him to obtain benefits from the country?We know what kind of terrible disaster this earthquake that affected the entire three southwestern provinces caused.

    Chen Xin clearly remembers that the great earthquake that occurred in Yanguo during his college days caused the displacement of nearly 20 million people, nearly 70,000 deaths, and more than 17,000 people missing. Ten counties and cities were severely affected.  , 41 counties and cities were severely hit, and 186 counties and cities were generally hit. It was the most destructive, widest impact, heaviest disaster loss, and largest rescue disaster since the founding of Yan State.

    However, this earthquake was just as strong as that one, and the number of people killed was several times higher.

    When receiving statistical data from disaster relief teams from various places, Chen Xin stayed up all night. The shocking data made him feel as if he could see the faces of countless victims and hear in his ears as soon as he closed his eyes.  to wails of pain.

    If this disaster had occurred before the meteorite fell, it might not have caused such huge casualties.

    But because after the meteorite fell, everyone lived in the shelter, and few people had outdoor activities. As a result, when the disaster struck, the vast majority of people stayed in the shelter that was supposed to be used to avoid the disaster  ¡­

    Those who survive are lucky. They may be lucky enough not to stay in the shelter when the disaster strikes, or they may be lucky enough that the shelter they are in does not collapse, or they may escape in time

    Regardless of the reason, they survived, and they were luckier than those who were unfortunate enough to die.

    But if this luck is compared with the misfortune of those who died, no one will be happy.

    This also made the atmosphere in the resettlement site very heavy during this period. The heavy number of 300,000 victims made everyone breathless.

    But now, the atmosphere in the resettlement site is not as heavy as it was a few days ago. It seems that the silence just now has released everyone's sadness, giving the atmosphere in the resettlement site a little more hope.

    Feeling this change, Chen Xin felt better.

    Indeed, as the letter he received said, the dead are gone, but the lives of the living will continue.

    It will not help to wallow in the pain of the past with sadness. Only with hope can we start a new life.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
