The coordination meeting room was filled with smoke.

Si Lu looked at the information in his hand and frowned slightly.

His body and hair were all stained with the smell of cigarettes. It was really uncomfortable to be with this group of old smokers.

I still have to take a shower when I get home to avoid disturbing my wife.

"The tone of coordinating the evacuation of the entire city has been set, but there are still many details that need to be finalized."

Secretary Zhou looked solemn. "The masses will certainly have opinions on the evacuation plan, so our cadres need to do a good job of evacuating the masses in a meticulous and patient manner. In addition, there are many influential industrial enterprises in Tanghai City, and they must all be evacuated safely. This is a big project."

"Secretary Zhou, will the grassroots people understand what we are doing? No one can predict earthquakes. I'm afraid it won't work if we use this as an excuse to do ideological work among the masses."

"Time is tight, and we have to find every way to do their job. This is like a tough battle..."

Si Lu left the meeting room reeking of cigarette smoke and having a headache.

A major project that has to be done is passed down layer by layer. If there is a mistake in any link, it will cause heavy losses.

As he reached the door of the conference room, Secretary Zhou called him from behind.

"Lawyer Si, go back and think about this matter carefully. Is there any good solution? Write a report. Grassroots work is too important. Our cadres don't understand the situation there, so it's difficult to reach a consensus with the people. For the safety of life and property of the people of the city, we must act as soon as possible."

"Okay, Secretary."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"This is my job, it's not hard."

Secretary Zhou smiled and said, "I heard that your wife is engaged in scientific research?"

"Yes, I work in the research institute."

"You two are really extraordinary. You both contribute to the country in your respective positions."

As the two of them walked out, Si Lu had a question in his mind, "Secretary Zhou, have you ever thought about what the consequences of such a large-scale migration plan would be if there was no major earthquake?"

Secretary Zhou smiled and nodded, "You are not the first person to ask me this question, but my answer remains the same."

The two men stopped at the same time. Secretary Zhou's gray hair shone brightly in the sun. He spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice, "The interests of the people always come first. If there is any problem, I am willing to take full responsibility."

Si Lu highly agreed with these two sentences. When he returned home, he was still thinking about how to implement this work as soon as possible. After all, time was really running out.

The city's population is about 1400 million. According to the data provided by Yan Yan, nearly people will die in this earthquake. The earthquake lasted seconds, and the direct economic losses reached billion yuan. More than square meters of houses were destroyed, and about million houses collapsed.

Seventy-eight percent of industrial buildings and ninety-three percent of residential buildings were severely damaged and destroyed. The city's lifeline projects such as water supply, power supply, communication and transportation were all destroyed. All factories and mines stopped production, and all hospitals and medical facilities were destroyed. Two large highway bridges collapsed, cutting off highway traffic with the outside of the Great Wall.

More than 60,000 wells were silted up and well pipes were broken, more than 30,000 hectares of arable land were compressed by sand, 47,000 hectares of land were flooded by salt water, about 55,000 pieces of agricultural machinery were destroyed, 36,000 large livestock and more than 440,000 pigs were killed, the health conditions in the city and nearby severely affected counties deteriorated sharply, and intestinal infectious diseases spread rapidly after the disaster.

The foreshock did not give people enough warning, and there were many aftershocks, which had a great impact on the subsequent rescue work.

The city with a population of one million was razed to the ground in an instant, and some other neighboring provinces and cities were also affected to varying degrees.

These data were extracted by Yan Yan from the database. Later generations had extremely detailed records and analyses of this disaster. Si Lu knew the seriousness of the matter and was afraid to memorize these data in his head and not dare to forget them at all.

They still have two months and the task is too heavy.

Si Lu rubbed his brows and went to pick up Jiang Yan from get off work as usual. Halfway through the journey, he remembered that Jiang Yan was having a day off today, so he quickly turned around and walked back.

He was full of cigarette smoke, which made Ning Yu feel choked. "Where did you come from? What's that smell on you? Go wash it off quickly, don't let Yanyan and the child get choked by it."

"We've been in meetings all day, don't mention it, we're all old smokers." Si Lu said, "Mom, go upstairs and get my clothes. I'll wash them and then come up."

"Wait."

Ning Yu went upstairs and knocked on the door.

"Mom, is Si Lu back?"

Jiang Yan had heard the noise a long time ago, "You came back a little late today."

"He was in a meeting and reeked of cigarettes. I didn't let him come up. Please help him find some clothes and let him take a shower before coming upstairs." Ning Yu was very sensible and never entered the couple's room easily. If there was anything, she would just say something outside the door.

"it is good."

Jiang Yan went into the room, took out a set of clothes, tucked the underwear inside the clothes, and handed it to Ning Yu.

Ning Yu went downstairs and handed the clothes to Si Lu. "You must be hungry. Go take a shower and I'll heat up some food for you."

Soldiers wash and dress quickly. When Si Lu came out, he had washed all his clothes and hung them up.

At first, he was so worried that he didn't even notice he was hungry, but when he smelled the fragrance of the food, Si Lu realized that his stomach was growling.

After eating three bowls of noodles, he put down his chopsticks, washed the bowls, put them back in the cupboard, brushed his teeth again before going upstairs.

Jiang Yan was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When she looked up, she saw Si Lu looking a little tired.

"What's wrong? What difficulties have you encountered?"

"It's just work."

Si Lu didn't want Jiang Yan to worry, "How are you? Did the child bother you?"

"They are very well behaved. You are disobedient and are hiding things from me."

Si Lu gently touched her belly. "It's just some work details. Secretary Zhou is determined to carry out a large-scale migration and move all the people from the earthquake zone to a safe place. But the problem now is that the earthquake is not enough for the people to believe. After all, no one knows whether such a thing will happen. Asking them to leave their homes and live in a strange place, I'm afraid they can't accept it for a while."

"There are also subsequent security issues."

Jiang Yan seemed to be thinking about something.

"Don't think about it. It's such a heart-wrenching thing."

"But Secretary Zhou's idea is indeed the most effective method. Think about it, with so many houses, even if we reinforce them one by one, it will take too long, and the manpower and material resources that will be wasted will be huge. Relocation is the most correct decision."

"Well, but how can we make the people accept it?"

Jiang Yan thought about it and suddenly had a good idea.

“We can learn from this…”
