Immediately after, an acquaintance of Fang Yang, Brigade Commander Cui, walked down from the plane.

Following him were five soldiers who carried boxes of food and drinking water down from the plane.

Brigade Commander Cui walked up to Fang Yang and greeted him with a smile, "Sometimes I'm curious, whether you're cursed or it's just a coincidence. Take this earthquake, for example; you were the first to discover it. Logically, everyone should thank you, but why do I always feel like it has something to do with you!"

Fang Yang scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this, "Leader, you're really wronging me with that. Ask everyone here, does the earthquake have anything to do with me? Could I possibly make it earthquake!"

Brigade Commander Cui laughed out loud, "I'm joking. I came here partly to provide you with some supplies, and partly to thank you personally, because of your warning, the weapons depot at the military region didn't have any problems. If an explosion had occurred there, the consequences wouldn't be any lighter than the tsunami on your side."

"It's what I should do, it's what I should do!" Fang Yang waved his hand.

Watching the boxes of supplies being moved down, some people were happy, while others were dissatisfied.

"What does this mean? Just sending some food? Aren't they here to take us away from here?"

"Exactly, I want to go home, I don't want to stay in this ghost place. The common people pay taxes every year, is this what happens at a critical moment?"

Fang Yang frowned upon hearing this; these people really made him feel disgusted.

Director Chen was the first to scold, "Do you think you're playing house? This is a natural disaster. It's not just our place in the city that needs help. Look clearly, this is a military helicopter. If it weren't for Fang Yang's face, they wouldn't have come. You don't even have food, and weren't you just shouting about going down the mountain to go home? Come, come, I won't stop anyone who wants to go down now!"

There were also some sensible people who stood up to speak, "I don't know what's in your head. Without Fang Yang, you might be dead by now, and you're still demanding this and that. Is he your father? Spoiling you? At this time, you should just wait quietly for rescue, don't cause trouble, don't make a mess. Anyway... can the food be distributed? I'm starving, line up, I'll stand at the very end!"

The group that was scolded dared not speak, but there was one thing they had to admit: without Fang Yang, they might already be dead.

Brigade Commander Cui just smiled faintly at this scene, as if it were an insignificant matter in his eyes.

After all the food and water were moved down, he smiled and said, "Alright! There are still many things at the military region that need me to handle, so I won't stay here with you. If you have time, come visit me. Many people there treat you as an idol. If you go, they will be very happy!"

Fang Yang nodded politely, "Definitely, definitely, I'll go if I have time!"

With a "tut-tut-tut" sound, and then gradually disappearing, the helicopter vanished from view.

On the square, after Director Chen organized the food, everyone lined up in a long queue waiting for the food to be distributed.

Fang Yang wasn't in a hurry and took the initiative to stand at the very end, and the person who had scolded earlier also really lined up at the very end.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1...

——【This is the power of connections. If Fang Yang weren't here today, would the military send helicopters to bring them food? Obviously not! They are busy as hell themselves, yet they specially ran over here, which shows how important Fang Yang's status is now.】

——【In the face of disaster, we can see the good side of human nature, and also the evil side. There is never a shortage of people in this world who only think of themselves. Just those people who were thinking about having the helicopter send them home, I really don't know where they got their blind confidence. Don't look at Fang Yang, he didn't leave, why should you?】

——【Brothers, guess how much has been donated nationwide now. I estimate it's over 100 million, what do you think?】

——【100 million? Not that fast, how long has it been? I feel like 50 million would be amazing. Let the netizens in the live stream post how much they donated, let's count it and see.】

——【I donated 50...】

——【I donated 100..】

——【I donated 5..】

——【I...】

——【Holy crap! It's flooding the screen, is it real! My phone is about to crash, how many people donated? So many people donating 10,000, this... how much money is this?】

——【Stunned, this is far more than 50 million, it must have broken 100 million long ago. The netizens in the live stream are too terrifying! Just wait, when the production team announces it, I have a feeling that when that moment comes, the number will drop everyone's jaw.】

Those who thought the live stream was all bragging, and were originally hesitating whether to donate, saw this situation and took out their phones to transfer money without a second thought.

One person can fake it, a hundred people can also fake it, but hundreds of thousands of people, how can they fake it!

As night fell, the weather became increasingly stuffy.

All the staff at the earthquake monitoring station were tense and didn't dare to relax for a moment.

They hadn't predicted the previous earthquake, but fortunately, they reacted in advance so it didn't lead to a disaster.

But if they continued to be inactive, the people across the country would hold them accountable.

The leader of the monitoring station was giving instructions at this time.

"Remember, in the last half month, each group will rotate 24 hours a day to ensure that if there is any state, it will be reported in time."

"I have already sent several experts to the seaside to check the terrain, but the hope is slim. This earthquake originated from the sea, so the focus is to observe the movement on the sea!"

"The most important thing now is to detect if there are any aftershocks, otherwise it will cause public panic, and if they can't return home, it will be our dereliction of duty. Do you understand!"

Everyone: "Understood!"

For them, this is no longer just a job.

They carry a mission.

The safety of all the people in Xihai City is on them, and everyone's face carries a resolute determination.

On the other side, the Mayor came to the grassroots level to direct the work himself.

You know, in such an environment, not many ordinary people can remain calm.

The reason why there hasn't been any panic or riot so far is entirely because they discovered it early and arranged it in advance. Although it was chaotic, everything was orderly.

Seeing the Mayor come in person, many people were excited, as if they had grabbed a straw, and the crowd gathered around one after another.

At the same time, a large number of reporters gathered around and kept taking pictures.

The Mayor stood on the car and shouted with a loudspeaker, "Citizens of Xihai City, unfortunately, disaster has descended on our city, but fortunately, according to current statistics, this earthquake has not caused any casualties. Here, everyone should thank Fang Yang. It was he who predicted the earthquake in advance that allowed us to avoid a disaster!"

Wow~~

Most people had come out to take shelter since receiving the news of the earthquake, and didn't know it was Fang Yang who had predicted it in advance.

The Mayor didn't say this to deliberately flatter Fang Yang, but he understood that in such an environment, people need spiritual support and faith.

Although his words carried weight, if it came to the sentiment of the people of Xihai City, it would definitely be Fang Yang.

Facts proved that it did have a great effect. Many people felt much more at ease after knowing it had to do with Fang Yang.

In their impression, Fang Yang was very mysterious, but he could always turn danger into safety. Since it had to do with him, it was likely the same this time.

Just as the Mayor said, this natural disaster didn't cause any casualties.

Such an achievement, you could say there was no one before, and there probably won't be anyone after.

The Mayor continued, "Just before, I received news that a massive tsunami occurred in the coastal area, and many houses and building facilities were destroyed, but again, there were no casualties."

"The reason I'm telling you this is to tell you that it's not certain if there will be aftershocks. If you rush home to rest now, imagine, if an earthquake happens suddenly at night, where will everyone run? Will there be time to run!"

"Here, I implore everyone to trust the government. All your food and water will be provided free of charge by the government. At the same time, you have also seen that the medical team is already prepared, so don't worry about personal safety!"

"Finally, I promise here that the government will actively provide compensation for the losses caused by this disaster. As far as I know, many people on the internet have already opened aid channels through Fang Yang. At that time, all donations will be used for house repairs and construction, trying to protect everyone's assets as much as possible!"

Swish~~

As soon as the voice fell, a burst of applause rang out!

Many people shouted well, excited and dancing with joy.

Many even cried, not out of sadness, but out of joy!

Before this, some people were afraid, some were worried, but with the Mayor's speech, they felt as if they had taken a reassurance pill.

Such a video could be seen not only here.

Projectors were set up in many places throughout the city, and some people also saw the live broadcast played by reporters through their mobile phones.

For a time, the people of the whole city were twisted together like a rope.

The Mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead. The stuffy weather and overwork made him irritable, and he couldn't help but look at the sky, finding not a single star.

He immediately turned to the secretary behind him and said, "Contact all departments immediately, have them take out the tents in stock, and distribute them to every household. Distribute as many as you can. If it's not enough, prioritize children and the elderly. If it rains heavily at night, everyone will be soaked in the rain!"

The secretary nodded hurriedly, "Understood, I'll contact them immediately!"

On the other side, on the square of the Xihai City Archaeology Academy, countless teachers and students were crowded on the playground and basketball court.

Qin Lao stood next to the principal and sighed, "Sigh~~ Fortunately, Fang Yang predicted it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. We were still simulating research on the spot at that time, and later the house collapsed!"

Principal Kong looked at the sky and recalled the Mayor's words just now, and said slowly, "At this time, we can't let Fang Yang fight alone. He is a visiting professor at our school, we have to do something. I decided to take 10 million from the school's accounts to aid in post-disaster reconstruction!"

Qin Lao was stunned, looking at the principal in disbelief. Is this still the principal he knew?

Ever since he met Fang Yang, it was as if he had become a different person. The school's development was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the enrollment for the second half of the year was already full.

But he didn't say anything, instead, he was very gratified. In his view, if they did this, Fang Yang would definitely repay the school in the future, so this 10 million was definitely worth it.

"It seems you also support my decision, then okay, I'll announce it! The sooner the better for this kind of thing, at least it can set a good example!"

Qin Lao nodded, "I support your decision!"

Ten minutes later, an announcement appeared on the official website of the Archaeology Academy.

【Relay Xihai City, this afternoon a massive earthquake and tsunami occurred in Xihai City, causing major economic losses to the local people. To carry forward the fine tradition of the Chinese nation of "when one side is in trouble, all sides support," the Xihai City Archaeology and Literature Academy decided to donate 10 million to Fang Yang's charity aid for post-disaster reconstruction!】

Once this announcement was out, it was frantically forwarded by the school's students, and in a short time, almost everyone in Xihai City who was scrolling through short videos could see it.

For a time, it triggered a wave of corporate donations.
