Liu Huizi watched Li Sa playing with the app and registered it while cooking, but was assigned to another group. She puzzled: "The threshold for your small circle is quite high, why can't I get in?"

Li Sa pretended to be puzzled and said: "It is said that there is a tendency to distinguish everyone's interests when answering questions. Don't worry, there will probably be people in your small circle one after another."

Liu Huizi was not someone who liked chatting online. After hearing the explanation, she stopped worrying and quickly made dinner.

At dinner time, Liu Huizi invited grandma out to have dinner with her. Taking care of the traditional eating habits of the islanders who took care of this old man, Liu Huizi’s meal tonight was all regular local cuisine, with a set of bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates in front of each person. Grandma could not speak Mandarin, and her hearing was not very good as she got older. After the meal, she whispered a few words to Keiko, took the lead in saying goodbye with the unique politeness of islanders, and then returned to the room.

After the elders left, Liu Huizi swept away his previous restraint and relaxed: "Li Sa, don't mind. My grandma is quite introverted. She knew that I was in love with you, so she told me to entertain you well and not to worry about her all the time."

Li Sa asked: "Although your home is far away from the sea, it feels like the house is not high. If a tsunami hits, do you need to move to a shelter in time?"

Liu Huizi nodded: "I have already reminded grandma, and she said she would pack the emergency backpack. I am also prepared here, so you can rest assured. The shelter in our community is halfway up the mountain over there. You can enter the bunker within a 10-minute walk, even if the entire city It’s all submerged, but it can hold up for a while.”

"Has the official updated the news and accurately predicted the earthquake?" Li Sa remembered that he had felt the earthquake during the preparation period in his previous life. It was very slight. The islanders who were accustomed to earthquakes at that time didn't care at all. At most, they ran out of their houses and went outdoors. When I didn't feel anything anymore, I went back and went to sleep.

There are very few buildings with more than three floors in this old residential area. Most of them are low-rise one-family buildings. The population is smaller than that of new communities with high-rise buildings that occupy the same area. After nightfall, it is especially quiet. If a disaster breaks out, if you evacuate, there will be no congestion in theory.

At least Liu Huizi, who has lived here since childhood, is not too nervous. She is very familiar with the surrounding area. She has experienced several earthquakes and tsunamis when she was a child. The most severe one was that part of her neighbor's house collapsed during the earthquake. Her century-old house was made of excellent materials and has always stood firm. The tsunami stopped in the port area and never advanced as far into the city as this.

Liu Huizi is not worried about herself, but is more concerned about the safety of others: "The hotel Dr. Yao mentioned seems to be closer to the port. How about I just ask her to come and stay at my house?"

Li Sa said: "I'm sorry that I came to disturb you. Yao Feier probably won't come. Regular hotels usually have escape and evacuation arrangements, right?"

"That's right. Although the hotel Dr. Yao stayed in was close to the port, it was a newly built concrete building ten years ago. I remember it seemed to be more than seven stories high. No matter how high the tsunami was, it should not be able to submerge such a tall building. "

Li Sa recalled that the tsunami he saw in his last life was indeed not that high here in Qiugang City, but there was no earthquake source near Qiugang City at that time. However, considering Yao Feier's own concern and professionalism for the safety of building structures, the hotel she booked in advance must be relatively reliable and sturdy.

Tonight, she would first go to the mid-level shelter mentioned by Liu Huizi to inspect it, and then decide where to take refuge. Furthermore, she is also someone who has space now. The 5 cubic meters of space is ridiculously empty. Taking advantage of Shang Antai tonight, she can also determine the resource point. Once earthquakes and tsunamis came one after another, she took advantage of the chaos to replenish a wave of supplies.

With Li Sa's current physical attributes, it was very easy to sneak away from Liu Huizi's home in the middle of the night. Following Liu Huizi's previous description, she walked to the shelter in the middle of the mountain like a jog at night. She knew the locations of several easily accessible convenience stores along the way and in the surrounding area by heart.

Small convenience stores in the island country have more complete products than similar small convenience stores in China, and they are almost always open 24 hours a day. In addition to regular meals, they also sell medicines and even provide copying, faxing and other services.

In addition, she also discovered a grain packaging and transfer station along the street. It seemed that bulk grain cargo transported from other places was broken into small packages here and then transported to other areas by smaller vehicles.

Due to the small size of the island country, agriculture lacks large-scale mechanized farming, and the self-sufficiency rate of food is low. It relies on imports. The imported food is shipped to port cities, undergoes some packaging and simple processing, and then is labeled as "island-produced", which can lead to better sales. There are always some companies doing this kind of business to meet the needs of local people.

There are similar packaging and transportation transfer stations in the port area, mostly for seafood packaging. After the island country discharged nuclear sewage, not to mention Island F, the export sales of seafood throughout the territory were affected. Many transfer stations in the port area are piled up like mountains and emit a fishy smell.

This transfer station is not that smelly, but it also stocks a lot of packaged food.

Li Sa didn't have high requirements for food. He could cook various kinds of rice in boiling water and sprinkle some salt or sugar on it, so he couldn't help but keep an eye on this place where food gathered. In the future, if you are floating on the sea or living alone somewhere, as long as you have the conditions to boil water, you will definitely be able to cook porridge. Eating convenience food with gruel is a rare treat in a world of natural disasters.

Since Yao Feier plans to gather the power of players, more food must be prepared.

As it approaches the early hours of the morning, there are still gray-haired, stooped old workers working in this transit station. It is impossible for the elderly in the island country to live a decent life relying only on pensions. Many elderly people in their 70s and 80s still persist in doing odd jobs to support their families, working night shifts and even doing hard work such as building houses and moving bricks.

It was quiet and calm, and everyone did not take the earthquake and tsunami warnings too seriously. After all, current technological means can accurately warn of similar disasters one or two hours before they occur. The warning was issued a few hours ago. After a period of nervousness, everyone continued to live as usual when nothing happened.

Ordinary people have limited vision. The government is making a fuss and restricting the entry and exit of fishing boats. As a result, the goods accumulated here cannot be shipped out, which affects the arrangements for the next few days. This is what worries them.

Li Sa saw the entrance to the shelter.

Generally speaking, you have to walk uphill from the residential area to get here. The shelter is located relatively high and is built against the mountain. It is built according to the strength of comprehensive fortifications, and earthquake and tsunami prevention is only one of its functions. The front door is spacious, with parking lines marked out, and it can park more than 20 cars. This is a rare open public space in the island country.

The door of the shelter is made of metal, somewhat similar to the door of a domestic air raid shelter, and there are clear evacuation instructions around it.

Liu Huizi said that when he was a child, he participated in disaster prevention drills and entered this shelter. It can accommodate thousands of people and has ventilation facilities, food storage, independent power generation devices, and backup communication devices.

Li Sa felt that this place was really good for a temporary stay for a few days, and seemed more reliable than some separate high-rise buildings.
