The anchor's voice was trembling, and the ground beneath his feet was still shaking.

The sand grains were dancing, and the buildings in the distance were swaying.

Then--

In the live stream, the camera was focused on the approaching wall of water.

The comments section was flooded with messages.

But no one can see it anymore.

Because of the next second.

The seawater has come in.

The TV screen shook violently, and then the live broadcast was cut off.

The living room of the villa was deathly silent.

Luo Ying's face was a little pale, and her lips trembled slightly.

She looked at the screen indicating the live stream had ended, then looked at Luo Fei.

Luo Fei sat on the sofa, his face calm.

It was as if the screams, the running, and the black wall of water that I had just seen were just an ordinary disaster movie.

Chu Yue looked at him.

There was more to his eyes than he had imagined.

There was shock, confusion, and awe.

Zhao Lin nestled in Luo Ying's arms, burying her face in her sister's chest, too afraid to look at the screen.

Luo Ying came to her senses, reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back.

But her own hands were trembling slightly.

a long time.

Luo Ying spoke softly.

"elder brother……"

Luo Fei turned his head.

"Um?"

"Those people..." Luo Ying's voice was hoarse, "Will they die?"

Luo Fei remained silent for two seconds.

"meeting."

Luo Ying's eyes reddened.

"But we warned them."

"The embassy and the country have both issued warnings."

Why don't they leave...?

Luo Fei looked at her.

She sighed softly.

"Xiaoying, not everyone is willing to believe it."

Some people only believe what they want to believe.

Luo Ying lowered her head and remained silent.

Chu Yue stood up and walked to the window.

Looking out the window at the still calm sky.

Her voice was very soft.

"They've really arrived, at exactly three o'clock."

She turned around and looked at Luo Fei.

How did you know?

Luo Fei did not answer.

a long time.

He picked up the remote and turned off the TV. The living room became completely quiet, with only the sound of cicadas chirping outside the window.

7 PM.

The news was playing on the television.

Luo Fei sat on the living room sofa, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin stood on either side of him, their eyes fixed on the television screen.

Chu Yue sat on the sofa next to her, holding a remote control in her hand.

On television, the host had a serious expression.

"At 3:00 PM today, a strong earthquake measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale struck the eastern waters of Japan. The epicenter was about 20 kilometers from the coastline, with a focal depth of about 15 kilometers."

Screen switch.

Aerial footage shows the east coast of Japan in a state of utter devastation.

Houses collapsed, roads broke, and vehicles overturned.

But the most terrifying places are those swept away by the sea.

"The earthquake triggered a massive tsunami, with waves exceeding 30 meters in height. The tsunami swept through dozens of coastal towns, and in some areas, seawater flooded inland for more than 50 kilometers."

In the video, a huge fishing boat is being pushed by the sea and crashes into a three-story building.

The building collapsed, and the fishing boat was stuck in the rubble.

After the sea receded, only mud and mess were left behind.

There were car wrecks, furniture fragments, and...

The camera panned quickly without pausing.

The host continued.

"As of now, preliminary statistics indicate that the death toll has exceeded 30,000, and the number of missing persons has exceeded 120,000. The total number of casualties continues to rise. Property losses are incalculable."

Luo Ying gasped.

"It's over 150,000..."

Zhao Lin's face turned a little pale, and she shrank closer to Luo Ying's arms.

Chu Yue didn't speak, but her fingers tightened slightly around the remote control.

The scene then changes.

A special scene appears on the screen.

That is……

Jingguo Divine Toilet.

Aerial footage shows that the original archway has disappeared.

Those huge wooden pillars lay scattered and broken in the mud.

Half of the worship hall collapsed.

The roof tiles were broken all over the ground.

This palace is even worse.

The entire building was smashed to pieces by the sea, with wooden components scattered over an area of ​​several hundred meters.

The most ironic thing is...

The famous bronze statue is now lying face down in the mud.

His posture was so awkward, it looked like he was kowtowing and confessing his sins.

The reporter stood in the mud, his expression complex, as if he was trying hard to endure something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the place where I am now was originally the site of the Yasukuni Shrine."

"But this afternoon's tsunami swept through this area."

"The Yasukuni Shrine was almost completely destroyed by water."

The camera slowly pans across the ruins.

Those buildings that were once revered as gods by some are now just a pile of rotten wood soaking in mud and water.

Those memorial tablets that were once enshrined are now nowhere to be found, having been swept away by the current.

Perhaps it's floating on the sea.

Perhaps it lies submerged in some unknown ocean depth.

Maybe……

It was carried by the seawater to the depths of the ocean.

The reporter continued.

"According to preliminary statistics, more than 80 percent of the main buildings in the shrine were damaged, and the core buildings, including the main hall and the worship hall, have almost completely collapsed."

"The shrine stated that it will clear the ruins as soon as possible and assess the damage."

"But experts believe that reconstruction will take at least five years and will be extremely costly."

The image freezes on the reclining bronze statue.

The camera deliberately gave it a close-up.

The bronze statue's face is buried in the mud, with only the back of its head and shoulders visible.

The posture is very standard.

A standard apology.

Luo Ying stared at the screen, stunned for several seconds.

Then she burst out laughing.

"Serves you right!"

Zhao Lin laughed along with her.

"Let it worship! This time, the temple was washed away too!"

Chu Yue's lips curled up slightly.

She didn't speak, but her eyes clearly conveyed two words.

happy.

Luo Fei watched TV, took a small sip of tea, and found it very fragrant.

The scene cuts back to the studio, where the host's tone remains serious.

"After the disaster, the government of the Dragon Kingdom issued a statement immediately, expressing its deep condolences and sincere sympathy for the severe disaster suffered by the Japanese Kingdom."

"The leader of China called the Prime Minister of Japan, expressing China's willingness to provide assistance."

"At 8 p.m. tonight, the first batch of fifty members of the China International Rescue Team will depart on a chartered plane to participate in the rescue work in the disaster area of ​​Japan."

"The plane was carrying several tons of relief supplies, including medical equipment, medicines, tents, blankets, etc."

In the footage, rescue team members are boarding the plane.

Uniforms and equipment were standardized.

His expression was serious and resolute.

The comments section has exploded.

The comments section was flooded with messages.

"What a generous nation! Sending a rescue team even at a time like this!"

"A responsible major power! They deserve praise!"

"But please warn the rescue team to be careful about radiation!"

"Yeah! Japan just discharged nuclear wastewater yesterday, and it was probably washed back by the tsunami. There must be some residue left!"

"The person upstairs is right! The tsunami pushed the nuclear wastewater back into the ocean—that was an amazing maneuver!"

"Hahaha, let them line up! Now they'll all be lining up at their own homes!"

"What goes around comes around! No one escapes the judgment of Heaven!"

"Thank you for your hard work, rescue team! Please be careful! Wear your protective gear! Don't let your guard down!"

May the rescue team return safely!

Many netizens are also discussing the Yasukuni Shrine.

"I watched the scene where the Yasukuni Shrine was destroyed by being flushed down three times!"

"Me too! That felt so satisfying!"

"What do you call this? This is called divine punishment!"

"Let them worship! Even Heaven can't stand it anymore!"

"I suggest converting this site into a public toilet!"

"I second that!"

"Seconded +1!"

"Seconded + ID number!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

But amidst the joy, there were also some dissenting voices.

"While it's satisfying, those ordinary people were innocent. 150,000 casualties are too tragic."

"Yes, it's inappropriate to gloat. We should mourn and provide aid where necessary."

"That's right, the country has already sent a rescue team, so let's not go too far."

"Look at it rationally, humanitarianism comes first."

The scene then changes.

International news.

Various countries have expressed their opinions.

The President of the United States delivered a speech.

"We express our deepest condolences for the disaster suffered by Japan. As our closest ally, we will send three rescue teams with advanced equipment to provide assistance."

Comments in the bullet screen.

"The US is moving pretty fast."

"Nonsense, that's his underling."

"Sending three rescue teams means they're really in a hurry."

"We have to be in a hurry, after all, they have a military base there."

Other countries have also expressed their views.

The international community is busy.

then.

The host said something.

"It is worth noting that the early warning issued by China several days in advance has attracted widespread attention from the international community."

"Several international media outlets, while reporting on the disaster in Japan, also mentioned the accuracy of China's early warning."

"The foreign ministries of some countries have expressed their hope that China can share its earthquake prediction technology and experience to help more countries prevent similar disasters."

"Relevant UN agencies have also called on countries to strengthen cooperation in disaster early warning and jointly improve global disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities."

Luo Ying frowned.

"Share your technology? By what right?"

Zhao Lin nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! We developed it ourselves, why should we give it to them?"

Chu Yue spoke calmly.

"They would say that this is a treasure of all mankind and should be shared."

Luo Ying pouted.

"The wealth of all mankind? Why don't they share the good things they've researched?"

Are chip technologies shared? Are aircraft engine technologies shared? Are anti-cancer drug formulas shared?

Chu Yue smiled but didn't say anything.

Luo Fei remained calm.

He watched the foreign officials speaking on television, his eyes remaining completely unmoved.

share?

That depends on how it's divided, when it's divided, and who gets it.

These are things he doesn't need to worry about.

On television, the news continued to broadcast other content.

But the people in the living room were no longer paying attention.

Luo Fei checked the time and put down his teacup.

"Auntie might have eaten out. Let's eat first."

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin got up and followed him to the restaurant.

Chu Yue turned off the TV.

Inside the restaurant, the food was already laid out.

Four dishes and a soup were served, and the group took their seats.

Luo Fei picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food.

Luo Ying ate while scrolling through her phone.

"The internet is full of discussions about earthquakes."

"Some people say that now Japan has dumped all its nuclear wastewater back into its own country, and the eastern coast is probably going to suffer."

Zhao Lin asked a question from the side.

"Won't the rescue team be at risk of radiation exposure?"
