Chapter 569 Zaun Rebuild
Like the straw that broke the camel’s back, fate brought disaster when the Zaun were at their best.
In less than ten seconds, the slight shaking turned into a strong earthquake that could not stand at all. A hoarse clamor came from the depths of the earth, and the song of death covered up the cheers that had not dissipated.
In a split second, Zaun’s singing became hellish screams and wailing.
There were so many people in front of him that he didn’t know who hit him. Connor stumbled and fell on the ground and hit the back of his head. Suddenly, the dizzy man heard his son’s voice.
“Father! Get out of here!
! The ground is collapsing!
! ”
“Earthquake…why, why is this happening…everything is perfect…”
The man finally struggled out of his absence and looked at the south where his son was running.
There is the bustling city of Zaun. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of magnificent and tall buildings collapsed. The flying dust and gravel rolled the Zauan people like ants into pieces. The solid ground continued to sink, and the farther away. It can also be seen that the yellow-green chemical gas continues to spread.
The earth in the southwest opened a bottomless gap, and then it began to spread around, like a huge mouth of the abyss, spreading incomprehensible to mortals, as if to swallow the whole city.
“Father! Run north! Run!
! ”
Pulled up by his son Javid, Connor patted his head and pulled the agitated young man with his backhand.
Javid looked at his father with a puzzled expression. He didn’t know why his father stopped him from escaping at such a dangerous time, but before the young man said anything, Connor said in a hoarse voice.
“Look at the coast!! The fissure will soon spread to the north shore! Once the fissure connects to the Zaun Strait, the water will pour in and directly drown Zaun! Running north now is a dead end!”
Looking in the direction Connor pointed, Javid quickly understood what his father meant. At this moment, even he had no idea and could only turn to his experienced father.
“Then what?”
Connor gritted his teeth and pointed to the east coast.
“Run to the east bank! The terrain there is high, and it is still a granite dyke. I don’t believe that the subsidence can spread there!”
While the two were talking, the foundations of the southern city of Zu’an continued to sink, and tens of thousands of people had no chance to escape, and they followed the collapsed city and sank below the sea level.
The fissures on the ground were still spreading to the west coast, and the speed was getting faster and faster like cracked egg shells.
On the Zaun, Dean Terence, who was in charge of the observation and blasting project, slumped on the deck and gave a low voice to evacuate the strait to the northeast.
Things were completely out of control, and the turbulent waves could overturn the ship at any time. He could only prioritize the safety of the crew.
“God, why did this happen to me, why…”
Looking at the crying Dean Terence, the other engineers bowed their heads one after another. They knew that no matter what caused this disaster, Dean Terence’s career was completely over.
At the same time, Lester hugged Janna and fell along with the collapsed building. When it was about to hit the ground, it was lifted up by a swirling airflow and gently landed on the ground.
With the sound of the tsunami coming from afar, Lester could see a white line covering the sky rushing towards his position from the northwest.
At this moment, in the desperate city, Lester only felt a little noisy.
“Hundreds of years have passed, and I finally hear their call again, when they are about to die in the sea.”
When she said this, Janna put her chin on the man’s shoulder, and her voice was soft, like a gust of wind that could drift away at any time.
Letting Janna lean on his shoulder, Lester caressed Janna’s clean back, he didn’t expect the materialized Janna to have such a good feel, as smooth as silk, fortunately he is now in the Sage time, there is no idea of the small head commanding the big head.
Having said that, now he is also playing with the spirit of the wind, right?
“Ingratitude is the nature of most people, not to mention an obscure nature elf like you.”
After a moment of silence, Janna said softly.
“At least you still remember me.”
Although a little reluctant, the man still chose to take the initiative to let go of Janna, and Lester sensed the reluctance from Janna’s slowly raising his hand, which made the man feel much better.
“Go, do what you want to do. If you are not strong enough, come and draw from me. I will wait for you to come back here.”
“This time, I’m not for Zaun, just for you, Lester, I just want to protect you.”
The elf of the wind lightly placed her cherry lips on Lester’s lips, and before the man could taste the wind carefully, the elf turned into a breeze and disappeared in place.
“This is the mark of Janna?”
A strange feeling appeared in my mind.
Although the elf had already left, Lester could still feel Janna’s position. The man stretched out his right hand and tried to summon the wind element. After a few seconds, a small cyclone flowed around his palm. This was the gift and gift of the wind elf. strength.
Gently stroked his lips, Lester’s face was full of smiles.
…
“Janna! Janna! Help us!”
“Alem! Alem! Where are you! I need your help!”
A very small number of elderly believers in Janna finally remembered the name they had forgotten for a long time, holding the blue bird amulet in their hands, and the Zaan people who believed in Janna called out the name of the patron saint of Zaan again and again.
The collapsed earth and buildings, the raging fire, the yellow-green chemical poisonous gas that can be seen everywhere, and the surging waves, the disaster is too sudden, and the technology and machinery that the Zuan people are proud of cannot play any role. I can only watch helplessly as the lives disappear quickly.
There are a total of 50,000 people living in the southern city of Zu’an, and there are 20,000 permanent residents in the location near the west bank. At this moment, the sea is pouring back, and the waves have submerged the city boundary. Those who survived many disasters are completely desperate.
Above the sky, Janna stared at the ground for a long time and sighed softly.
I’m afraid this will be the last time she will be a Zaun god.
“Feng’er, please listen to my voice.”
The scattered wind elements began to actively gather around Janna. Janna guided the wind elements, condensing the wind elements into powerful whirlwinds, driving the whirlwind, and Janna approached the waves that spread to the city.
“Go, Feng’er, please stop these turbulent waves and make a way out for mankind.”
Hundreds of cyclones that obeyed the order formed a wind wall. The wind wall was like an invisible city, blocking the sea and waves on the west side of the city, and could not enter an inch.
Immediately afterwards, Janna used the wind to blow out the raging fire in the city, bringing the spreading poisonous gas to the sky where no one was in.
An escape route to the east appeared before the Zaun.
“This is the miracle of the wind! It’s Ghan Alem! The patron saint of Zaun, Ghan Alem, has come to save us!”
“Janna! Thank you! Praise you! I will always remember your kindness! Let my descendants enshrine you!”
The Zaan people who witnessed the miracle knelt on the ground and chanted and praised Janna’s name. Unfortunately, when Janna did not want to show her face, no one could find out where Janna was.
The strong wind that blocked the sea has been blowing for three days. During these three days, most of the Zaun people stranded in the subterranean city fled. Even so, in the accident casualty statistics of the Zaun Council, there are still 8,000 people. Many were left in the ruins of the city forever, dying in disasters and accidents.
…
Three months have passed since the cataclysm caused by the blasting of the isthmus, and the XC area in the southern part of Zaun has been turned into a tidal flat and reduced to urban ruins.
To this day, Zaun is still in mourning.
The head of the blasting project, Dean Terence, resigned, and the three Zaun MPs who led the strait expansion project were forced to step down. Even the family had a serious crisis of confidence.
Unable to determine which of the project leaders involved in the project caused the catastrophe, after a careful investigation, the Zaun Council could only give up accountability. Out of humanitarianism, eight project participants ‘voluntarily’ sent eighth One’s project funds are donated to Zaun to support Zaun’s rebuilding efforts.
Zaun, who suffered heavy casualties, had to shelve the Sungate construction plan for a long time, and prioritized the task of rebuilding Zaun.
Due to the scour of currents and the impact of strong winds, the rocks have re-blocked the cracks connecting the strait, reducing a lot of the burden on Zaun’s reconstruction work.
Due to the high terrain, the disaster situation on the north shore of Zaun was not serious. Regarding the phenomenon of sea water backwashing on the north shore, the Zaun Council decided to build underground water channels by digging ditches, and introduce water into the Pilt River to alleviate flooding. .
The most difficult to rebuild is the south bank of Zu’an, because the southern part of the city of Zu’an collapsed greatly during the earthquake, the city is below sea level, and the terrain is different. Rebuilding the city on the ground and keeping southern Zaun free from flooding was the most difficult problem to solve.
Through the survey and investigation of geological engineers, the Zaun Council decided to revise the drawings of the Sun Gate and move the construction site to the west by about a kilometer, so that the Sun Gate Sea Lock became the first line of defense to prevent the canal from flooding back, and the second line of defense was It consists of a river bank reinforced with cement, and the third drainage line consists of culverts.
After completing the work of isolating the water source, the Zaun Council passed the deliberations and announced the construction plan of the culvert.
The underdrain will be built on the ruins of the original southern heavy industry area, connecting the Sun Gate to the north and the collapsed southern city of Zaun to the south. The underdrain can cover all the city of Zaun on the north shore of Shurima, and all the water will flow along it. The gradually decreasing terrain is introduced into the ground and finally discharged to the East China Sea.
Under a series of resolutions of the Zaun Council, the Zaun people gradually came out of their wounds and started a new life in the reconstruction work.
As Lester had anticipated, it was difficult for the Zauns to do anything for Janna after the disaster.
Standing on a hill on the northern shore of the Zaun Strait, Leicester looked out at the smoky south. On his left shoulder, a small blue bird was shaking its head, watching the white-faced owl on the man’s right shoulder.
“A councillor proposed to build a giant statue for you, but other councilors rejected it, on the grounds that ‘Zuan is most proud of science and technology, not a **** who doesn’t know when it will appear and when it will disappear’, but Some of the people you saved have protested, but it’s a pity that it’s no use shouting at the door of the parliament.”
“Lest, you should know that I’m no longer the **** of the Zaan people, and the root of me is now tied to you, which is why you can control the wind element,
If you die, or if you forget me, I will disappear completely. ”
Blue Bird tilted his head and didn’t speak, but his voice came directly into Lester’s mind.
“I’m really happy you did this, but it’s not a good thing for you.”
“Since I chose you, I will never regret it.”
Janna’s voice was so firm that Lester let out a sigh.
“…Thank you, Janna, for trusting me so much.”
The oncoming wind made Lester narrow his eyes, and he suddenly recalled what happened in the Ionian Magic Garden in the past.
He still doesn’t know why Janna left him.
Now that Janna has chosen him, he can ask.
“Janna, do you still remember that more than seven hundred years ago, you followed me to the magical garden of Ionia, when Ionia was holding the Blossoming Festival, and the disaster of Blossoming Spirit was caused by demons.
I went to the spiritual realm to fight against Mo Teng, and when I came out, you were gone. ”
The blue bird suddenly flew off his shoulders and turned into Janna’s elf form.
On Janna’s face, Lester saw a deep apology.
“That demon, it launched a soul attack on you, trying to cut off the spiritual connection between your body and soul. I tried to stop it, but unfortunately I failed. After the power was exhausted, I fell into a deep sleep.”
Wen Yan~www.readmtl.com~ Lester lay on the ground, watching Luo Yi who was hovering in the sky.
“It turned out to be so. I thought you abandoned me, because you left me, but I was sad for a long time. I was going to take you to find trouble with those captains, but I lost my interest when you left.”
“Lest…”
Janna bent down and blocked Lester’s sight with a stalwart object.
Lester had to admit that it was difficult for him to look away from the beautiful scenery, but the female elf’s eyes were more attractive to him at this moment.
This is some kind of revelation, which is rarely the case for the dull Janna.
“I still don’t understand until now, what exactly is I in your eyes?
Is it extraordinary? Is it a god? Is it a magic elf? Or someone you love? Why do you have such mixed feelings towards me? ”
The unexpected question made Lester stunned for a moment. The man sat up and responded to the elf’s question with action.
