Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 499

Fortunately, after waiting in place for about an hour, there were no other vibrations, as if aftershocks did not exist at all.

Although they still did not dare to return to the building, the veterans dared to stand up and began to look around to see the damage caused by the sudden earthquake.

As the boss, Wang Lu stayed where he was with his family, relying on three temporary blankets. Zhou Rou and the two mothers were not frozen by the temperature difference between day and night in the pasture. Wang Lu's eldest son was It's a blanket to myself, and Wangcai is also benefiting from it.

As for his father-in-law Zhou Jianshu and Father Wang, they were holding on. At this time, no one dared to run back to the villa to get clothes.

Soon Lao Wei brought a report on the situation in the living area.

"Boss, my brothers have been looking around. Some of the temporary warehouses have collapsed. There are no problems with the main buildings. There is no collapse at the breeding farm. It's just that the situation of the beef cattle inside is a bit chaotic. There are many beef cattle. He ran out directly, probably because he was frightened, and the initial losses will probably have to wait until dawn to be counted."

"The power is also cut off, but it shouldn't be a big problem. It should be that the earthquake caused a problem with a certain node in the circuit. It will be inspected after dawn!"

Wang Lu nodded as he listened to Old Wei's report. This was all expected. Not long after the earthquake started, the entire living area fell into darkness. It was obvious that there was a power problem, and the current lighting was solely maintained by vehicle lights.

Huang Zheng's engineering team was responsible for the construction of his villa and the veterans' dormitories. They were all built step by step according to the construction requirements. There was no cutting corners at all. Naturally, they could not collapse so easily.

Although the intensity of the earthquake that just occurred was higher than the previous one, it was not so strong as to cause widespread collapse of reinforced concrete buildings.

As for the collapsed warehouses that Lao Wei mentioned, they were all temporarily built some time ago to stack harvested tobacco leaves, sisal leaves and other crops. The strength itself is not high, and the construction cost is not high. The collapse is expected. Wang Lu has nothing to feel bad about.

It's just that the breeding farm is a bit difficult. Animals have the greatest reaction to such natural disasters. No matter how docile an animal is, they will become irritable and uneasy when encountering such a situation. At the moment, Wang Lu only hopes that the number of beef cattle that escape from the breeding farm will not be reduced. Too many, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.

Just as Wang Lu was thinking, a car light appeared from a distance, and a pickup truck belonging to the ranch quickly stopped beside everyone. Parker also jumped out of the car.

"Oh boss, I'm so happy to see you guys are okay!"

Needless to say, this guy went to the bar to hang out again last night. You can tell by looking at the lipstick mark still remaining on this guy's face. However, at the moment, Wang Lu didn't have time to care about how sexy this guy was last night, but directly asked Let’s look at the situation in the small town of Baria:
"Parker, how is the situation in the town?"

"Not a good boss. Many buildings have collapsed. The military police in Baria Police Station are already struggling! The intensity of this earthquake is at least level five!"

Through Parker's description, Wang Lu also got a rough idea of ​​the situation in Baria Town. The local residents' houses in Baria Town were simple adobe houses, and it was normal for them to collapse.

Wang Lu then took out his mobile phone and called the hospital and school he donated to make inquiries, especially the hospital, which also had domestic medical staff there.

Fortunately, the replies Wang Lu received were that everything was fine. Both the hospital and the school were constructed by domestic construction aid companies, and the quality was guaranteed.

Wang Lu had just hung up the phone when several calls came in.Wang Lu also answered the calls one by one, from the embassy and old Sanders, all asking about Wang Lu's safety.

"After our embassy received the notification of the earthquake, the ambassador immediately asked me to confirm your safety. If you have any difficulties, please contact me at any time and we will do our best to provide assistance!"

The person in charge of contacting Wang Lu at the embassy was Lu Wei. After confirming Wang Lu's safety, Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly.

"Brother Lu, if nothing else, thank you! Everything is fine here for the time being. I have also contacted the medical staff here. They are all safe!"

After Wang Lu expressed his gratitude, he also confirmed his safety with Old Sanders.

"Boss, I also felt the earthquake in Arusha, but it seems that the epicenter was near your ranch. It's great to know that you are okay!"

According to the information sources from the embassy and Old Sanders, Wang Lu basically confirmed that the source of the earthquake was probably under his feet, which made him more and more convinced that the earthquake was inseparable from the system.

"Damn it, our ranch is located on the edge of the East African Rift Valley seismic zone, so earthquakes of this intensity can occur. This situation is very abnormal!"

Parker is still complaining endlessly. Others around him who have some knowledge of geography also know that the East African seismic zone is the most active seismic zone in Africa. The occurrence of earthquakes is not an accident, but the intensity of this earthquake should be It is considered the strongest in the past two years.

Only Wang Lu knew that this unprovoked earthquake was probably inseparable from the system.

Everyone waited until dawn and confirmed that there were no aftershocks. Wang Lu allowed the veterans to enter the building and carry out some basic daily necessities, but no one was allowed to stay in the building.

Lao Wei organized the veterans to temporarily dig a marching stove. They were worried all night. He first boiled a large pot of boiling water and warmed everyone up first.

Then a temporary tent was set up. After all, it was the rainy season right now, and the rain might come down at any time. It would be even more troublesome if they got wet. The next thing was to prepare breakfast.

Wang Lu also received the exact news about the earthquake from the embassy at this time.

The source of the 5.5-magnitude earthquake was near the small town of Baria. Wang Lu knew without guessing that the source of the earthquake was probably his own ranch.

After that, Wang Lu kept receiving calls and messages on his mobile phone.

Obviously, the news of the local earthquake also spread back to China. Wu Dahai was the first one to call. Father Wang also received greeting calls from the third uncle in the village and some uncles and elders. Mr. Wang Dad also reported that he was safe one by one.
