78. Super typhoon makes landfall!

July 7, late.

After having dinner at the terrace restaurant on the second floor, Gu Qing and Su Xiyue took a walk in the summer night breeze.

It wasn't until after 9:30 that they all returned to their hotels.

Counting the day they arrived, they had already been at the resort for three days.

I went fishing during this time, and although the fish were all released back into the reservoir in the end, it was still a rare experience.

Somewhat regrettably, Gu Qing failed to catch a single live creature in the end.

Thinking of Su Xiyue's bountiful catch on her first fishing trip, Gu Qing could only conclude that the other woman had absorbed his luck.

The two went to the beach the next day.

However, since this part of the coastline lacks development and construction value, there's not much to do there.

However, whenever I see the vast blue horizon, it always stirs my emotions.

After taking off their shoes and socks, they stepped barefoot onto the hot sand, letting the tide wash over their feet.

On the way back, I picked up some oddly shaped shellfish.

Even people who don't like the sea can find enjoyment in it.

The third day, which is today.

Gu Qing and Su Xiyue went to the red-crowned crane wetland that Su Changqin had mentioned.

Although one can only observe from a distance and cannot venture inside, this unique and beautiful creature is truly impressive.

Moreover, due to the development of the protected area, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful.

Even if you don't come for the red-crowned cranes, it's still a great place to relax.

According to the original plan, the two will return tomorrow.

It wasn't that the two had had enough fun, but rather that Gu Qing was about to turn eighteen.

On this special birthday, everyone wants to spend it together as a family.

Gu Qing's birthdate on her ID card is July 3.

But her actual birth date is July 12.

However, when applying for the birth certificate, it just so happened that the birth medical certificate had been updated and revised.

Perhaps the hospital staff were too careless, or perhaps they were too busy.

In conclusion, Gu Qing's actual date of birth is a few days later than the date on her certificate.

However, this did not affect Gu Qing's schooling, so no changes were made.

These are all trivial matters.

"Have you booked a car for tomorrow? Do you need me to help you contact someone?"

During Gu Qing's video call with Gu Yuan, Su Changqin's face suddenly appeared.

"Thank you, Auntie. But the car has already been arranged. We'll leave tomorrow at noon and arrive home in the afternoon," Gu Qing said.

Since leaving home, Gu Yuan has been making video calls every night.

However, for the first two days, because the air conditioner at home was broken, Gu Yuan in the video was always flushed from the heat and was panting heavily from time to time.

Gu Qing was even a little worried that Gu Yuan might have a health problem, and advised him to go to the hospital for a checkup.

However, things suddenly returned to normal today, and the air conditioner was fixed, so he wasn't so worried anymore.

After ending the video call with Gu Yuan, Gu Qing looked at the night view outside the window, got up and closed the window.

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Gu Qing felt that the wind was particularly noisy tonight, and the temperature had even dropped by several degrees Celsius.

Is it going to rain?

Gu Qing guessed as she lay back down on the bed.

……

7 month 11 day.

4:38 am

A cell phone ringing startled Gu Qing awake from her dream.

Gu Qing glanced at it and saw it was Su Changqin.

At this moment, the still-unconscious mind regained some rationality.

If it weren't for an unexpected incident, Su Changqin would never have called him at this time.

What happened?

Gu Qing frowned as she answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Su Changqin's hurried voice came through:

"Qingqing, don't come back today with Xiyue. Also, prepare some food and water. I just received news that Du Surui is coming!"

"I have already contacted your hotel, and they have all the necessary disaster relief supplies. Please stay in the hotel and do not go out!"

Du Surui?

Upon hearing this name, Gu Qing immediately recalled the news she had seen a few days ago.

Super Typhoon Doksuri formed in the Northwest Pacific Ocean with a peak intensity of 62 meters per second. It made landfall in the Philippines two days ago, causing severe damage.

Originally, according to the meteorological observatory's forecast, it was likely to make landfall in Xia Guofu Province, but for some reason, it suddenly deviated from the expected trajectory and turned towards Su Province.

Los Angeles, especially the coastal area where Gu Qing is located, was the destination after the super typhoon deviated from its course.

"I understand!"

Gu Qing immediately perked up.

The call was quickly disconnected.

As one of the main leaders of Luocheng, Su Changqin was not directly in charge, but when it comes to matters like natural disaster prevention, any leader must be on duty at all times.

Both disaster response and post-disaster recovery are of paramount importance.

At this point, it was already quite remarkable that Su Changqin was able to find the time to call Gu Qing.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qing glanced out the window.

Compared to the night breeze when you fall asleep, there's now a strong gust of wind and rain outside.

The tree trunks were bent low, and flowers and grasses flew everywhere.

Correspondingly, a warning message popped up on the phone.

The Los Angeles Meteorological Observatory issued an orange typhoon warning signal at 4:40 AM on July 11th.

Affected by Typhoon Doksuri, the fifth typhoon of this year, many areas of our city are expected to experience gusts of around level 9 from tonight to the 15th, along with heavy to torrential rain, and localized extremely heavy rain. At the same time, some areas will also experience severe convective weather such as thunderstorms, strong winds, and short-term heavy rainfall.

Gu Qing is no stranger to dealing with natural disasters.

So-called war correspondents do more than just report on man-made war disasters.

In some regions, war correspondents are also among the first to respond to large-scale natural disasters.

After a brief moment of thought, Gu Qing dialed Su Xiyue's number while knocking on the door next door.

Meanwhile, the hotel staff had already received the warning and were calling on the off-duty staff to return to work immediately.

What finally woke Su Xiyue was a knock on the door.

The girl opened her sleepy eyes, wearing only a white spaghetti strap nightgown, exposing a large area of ​​her skin.

She looked at Gu Qing, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Gu Qing, what's wrong?"

"A typhoon is coming, we need to prepare!"

As Gu Qing spoke, he entered Su Xiyue's room.

After looking around, Gu Qing solemnly instructed, "While the energy supply is still working, fully charge all electronic devices."

"Remember to send Aunt Su a message, don't call her."

"Fill all the containers in the room with water, tap water is fine."

"Close all windows, and if you find anything loose, find a way to reinforce it!"

Although the Xia Kingdom has a fairly sound disaster response system, and the resort is located on high ground.

However, given the resort's remote location and sparse population, it would be difficult to include it in the first round of disaster relief efforts should an accident occur.

Moreover, if the typhoon weather lasts too long, resorts that lack daily supplies may become isolated islands.

Gu Qing must prepare for the worst.
