Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 114 The Rhythm of Life

"Boom~"

"Bang~"

"bang~"

"It's an earthquake, it's an earthquake!"

With a loud rumbling sound, the earth was torn apart, houses collapsed, rivers rose, and trees fell.

Then there were screams, cries of pain, cries for help, cries for rescue...

Become the main theme of the entire world.

"Squeak!"

There was a sound of something shaking in the darkness.

Soon the shaking sound stopped, the radio broadcasting the news sounded, and the picture became brighter.

It turned out to be a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old who was trapped in the collapsed house.

With the help of a hand-cranked radio, the lighting was turned on and the shortwave channel on the radio was switched on.

Darkness brings fear, while light brings hope.

With the light and sound, the girl's condition was obviously much better.

"Dad, Mom, Keiko, Nadeshiko, are you all here?"

"Is everyone here? I'm Xiangzi."

The girl's voice was just a little anxious at first, but later it began to become hoarse.

But the girl's response was still only silent silence.

Only the rescue call broadcast from the portable radio accompanied the girl.

At this moment, the scene changed and the camera was aimed at the land after the disaster.

A large number of disaster relief workers began to carry out carpet search and rescue operations in the area where the earthquake occurred.

"There is a signal here, hurry up, start the rescue."

The rescue workers carrying the signal receiver heard the sound from the machine and immediately directed their colleagues to start digging at a collapsed house.

The situation is extremely urgent now. Every minute saved may save a life.

In this regard, Japan is much better than the United States and can almost be compared with China.

This is also a characteristic of East Asian countries, which are more collectivist and work harder in disaster relief.

Unlike the Bald Eagle, many of the disaster relief workers were just slacking off.

It takes more than a dozen people to transport a basket of construction waste.

Of course, the current disaster relief workers in the United States are actually not much different from those in East Asian countries.

The reason why later generations have been slacking off is simply because the American government is too inhumane.

Many firefighters died during 911/, but they didn't even get any pension.

Anyone would be disappointed with this kind of government.

Soon, the little girl at the beginning appeared in front of the rescue workers.

"Don't worry about me yet. My brother, sister, mother and father are still inside. Save them first."

Although the little girl was still half buried in the ruins of the building, she still refused everyone's help.

She cried and shouted at the rescue workers, while pointing out the possible location of her family.

The earthquake came so suddenly that the family had no time to leave the room and could only find a small shelter to save themselves.

For example, the girl herself was using the toilet and hid in the triangular position of the toilet.

"It's okay, we can act together. You come out first, then we can rescue you."

True feelings are revealed in the face of a disaster. No one expected that this little girl, faced with the opportunity to survive, would be willing to face the danger that might come at any time and let the rescue workers save her family first.

The rescue workers were also deeply moved at this moment, and their voices became gentler unconsciously.

Soon, under the girl's guidance, the rescuers found where the family might be. The family was very lucky, except for the father who had his leg broken, the rest of the family only suffered minor scratches.

"Thank you, thank you brothers and sisters, thank you brothers and sisters."

The little girl looked at the rescued family, first politely thanked the rescue workers, and then cried and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we are fine, we are all fine."

The whole family was rescued, and both the little girl and the rescue workers were very happy.

At this moment, the little girl seemed to have thought of something. She walked back to the place where she was rescued, hugged the radio, and gave it a gentle kiss.

"Thank you, too, my best partner in life."

The girl heard everything that happened just now and knew it was the signal from the radio. She saved herself and her family.

This radio will be her most precious gift from now on.

Then, the scene changes.

The time shows that it is 5 days later. The collapsed house is covered with white cloth, and a human figure can be vaguely seen. There is also a radio next to the white cloth, but this radio is different from the previous one.

This radio has no crank and looks like it was broken by something.

The rescuers looked at the scene with deep sorrow.

"What a pity! This person didn't have to die. If he had also bought a disaster emergency radio, he could have been rescued quickly."

The deceased, covered with a white cloth, survived for four days in an environment without light or food, but eventually died in despair due to being surrounded by loneliness.

"Yeah, it's a pity."

Also buried in the rubble, also protected by a radio.

Because of the difference in the quality of the items, the fate of the two people was completely opposite.

Opportunities only come to those who are prepared, even if it is a rescue.

As the voices of the two rescuers chatting faded away, the radio that the little girl was rescued from reappeared in the center of the screen.

“Disaster emergency radio is the rhythm of our lives.”

At this point, the three-minute-long scene ended quietly.

Izumi Sakai half-lay in her boyfriend's arms, and exclaimed in admiration: "This is actually an advertisement, so cool. Should we buy a few of these at home?"

The Japanese are a nation with a strong sense of crisis. Although Izumi Sakai is only in her early 20s, she has experienced hundreds of earthquakes, big and small.

After seeing the advertisement for the disaster emergency radio, the first thing that came to my mind was to buy it.

Such a good product must be placed in every room.

"This is a product of our company. Don't worry, we will put one in every room tomorrow, including the toilet and bathroom."

Masato Takeshita is also afraid of death. Although the materials of the house are enough to withstand earthquakes above magnitude 9, he still prepares to fully equip the house with supporting equipment.

And not only the place where you live now, but also the villa that is being renovated must be fully completed.

"Hey, it's from your company. It's not another invention of yours."

"Of course, who else has this ability except me, your husband?"

"Hehe, what a cocky guy. But it is indeed a great invention. My husband is really amazing."

After saying that, the girl excitedly kissed Masato Takeshita on the cheek.

"It's good to know."

Masato Takeshita smiled smugly, then sneered maliciously: "Hehe, I'm not the kind of guy who won't retaliate after suffering a loss."

After saying that, he pounced on his girlfriend fiercely and kissed her until she couldn't breathe, thus ending this "revenge".

"You are just taking advantage of me, you bad guy."

Izumi Sakai's face turned red and she hit Masato Takeshita in a coquettish manner.

"I'm a bad guy, right? Then I'll show you something even worse."

After saying that, Masato Takeshita hugged his girlfriend and ran straight to the bedroom anxiously.
