Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor
290 Sudden Earthquake
Three of the six bodyguards Zhuang Zuqin had hired before were standing outside the door. When Gao Si opened the door and came out, a bodyguard stepped forward to greet him.
Gao Si asked: "Where are the others?"
A bodyguard replied: "We divided into two groups to keep vigil, and the other three people rested in the next room."
"Wake them all up. There may be danger before dawn, so be alert."
After hearing this, a bodyguard behind him immediately went to the next room to call someone.
Several bodyguards did have some professional qualities. In less than half a minute, six of them had arrived. The three who had just been resting were also in high spirits and did not look drowsy.
Gao Si ordered: "You two follow me, and the remaining four are guarding the door. You must ensure the safety of Miss Zhuang inside. By the way, if you can ensure that there is no accident before dawn, your salary will be doubled."
When they heard that their salary was doubled, the eyes of several bodyguards brightened a lot, and they all said that there was no problem.
Gao Si took several deep breaths. The countdown in his mind only had forty-seven minutes left.
He said to the two bodyguards following him: "What are your names?"
The brown-skinned bodyguard is called Chimo. You can tell from his appearance that he is a native of Hawaii. The other bodyguard is a Chinese guy named Ma Jiani. It is said that he has learned kung fu from his grandfather for several years. The Chinese guy is quite handsome.
, his hair was combed back into a loose ponytail. Unfortunately, he did not speak Chinese.
"Boss, where are we going?" Qimo asked.
Gao Si asked in response: "Is there any place nearby that is more suitable for hiding, easy to defend and difficult to attack?"
"Easy to defend but difficult to attack?" Qi Mo didn't understand what Gao Si meant.
Gao Si didn't know how to express it, so he said vaguely: "I suspect someone wants to kill me, and they may attack me soon."
Ma Jiani thought for a moment, he thought that this rich little boss might be suffering from persecution delusion. If someone wanted to kill him, they would either chase him or ambush him. How could the killer wait for you to find someone who is easy to defend and difficult to defend?
How about settling down at the place of attack and then coming to attack by force?
But since he is the boss, Ma Jia Ni doesn’t want to say too much. Whatever the boss says is what he says. Since the boss says someone is coming to kill him, he must believe what he says.
Ma Jia Ni said: "I know there is a shooting range nearby. There is a watchtower there. It can be concealed and can shoot in all directions. Do you think it meets the requirements?"
Gao Si pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the shooting range."
The three of them got into Ma Jia Ni's old pickup truck and drove along the mountain road toward the shooting range.
…
Three fifty in the morning.
Big Island of Hawaii, Hilo Bay, Hilton Hotel.
Luo Xingyu, who lived on the top floor of the hotel, woke up to a slight shaking. The floor-to-ceiling glass door leading to the balcony was shaking, as if a storm was beating outside.
Luo Xingyu sat up suddenly, and this movement woke up Du Xinying who was sleeping beside him.
"What's wrong? Xingyu? It's still early before sunrise. I set the alarm clock."
"Xiaoying, did you feel the house shaking?"
Du Xinying rubbed her eyes and said, "No."
Suddenly, Du Xinying cried out "Ah", and she felt the house shaking. The shaking glass door brought some supernatural associations to Du Xinying, which instantly made her shudder.
Luo Xingyu had figured out the situation at this time. He hugged Du Xinying tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoying, it's probably an earthquake. There are many active volcanoes in Hawaii, and earthquakes are very common."
"Should we go downstairs to take refuge?" Du Xinying asked.
"No, it's okay." Luo Xingyu comforted.
Du Xinying calmed down from the shock and nodded.
While the two were talking, the shaking of the house had stopped.
When you turn on your phone, news appears on the browser headlines:
Real-time news from the China Seismological Network: At 21:50 Yanjing time and 3:50 a.m. local time, a magnitude 4.3 earthquake occurred in the eastern waters of the Big Island of Hawaii (19.9° north latitude, 154.8° west longitude), with a focal depth of 3.8 kilometers.
, the earthquake source is only 35.5 kilometers away from the eastern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Sure enough, as Luo Xingyu said, the earthquake was indeed not that strong.
"Are you still sleepy? If you are sleepy, just sleep for a while. After a while, the alarm clock rings and we go up to the roof to shoot the sunrise. Wang Shanshan said that he would start a live broadcast. When the sunrise here happens to be midnight in China, I don't know how many people there are.
Are you willing to look at it?”
Du Xinying said: "I'm not sleepy anymore. Xingyu, do you think the earthquake will cause a tsunami? I'm a little scared."
Luo Xingyu bent his index finger and scratched Du Xinying's nose, and said: "No, the earthquake itself will not cause a tsunami. Tsunamis are caused by the up and down movement of the submarine plates, which triggers the fluctuation of the sea water. It is only caused by the junction of the continental plates.
A tsunami can only be triggered by a local earthquake, and the probability of causing a tsunami is less than one in ten."
“Isn’t Hawaii a place where tectonic plates meet?”
"You are thinking too much. Hawaii is the mid-ocean ridge, where the continent was born. This is the center of the Pacific plate. Where is the boundary between the plates? I see you are yawning. Go get some sleep."
Du Xinying finally felt relieved and snuggled into Luo Xingyu's arms and fell asleep again.
…
It was exactly 10 o'clock at night in the Magic City at this time.
In order to continue the live broadcast of stargazing in Hawaii, Xia Mu, Wei Qing, and Sha Hui all came to the rescue. Even the popular goddess Ye Zhiqiu just sang a song "Stars in the Galaxy" by Ye Xian.
Before Luo Xingyu went to rescue Gao Si, he left all the fixed cameras in place. Fans can see the Hawaiian night sky and the guidance lasers emitted by those super stargazing artifacts through the picture-in-picture on the screen.
With her rich knowledge of astronomy, Sha Hui replaced Luo Xingyu to complete the knowledge part of the live broadcast. Xia Mu, relying on her title of "Angel under the Starry Sky", sometimes sang and read poetry, helping to maintain the popularity of the live broadcast room.
Suddenly, several long messages appeared in the chat area of the live broadcast room:
"Holy crap, there was an earthquake in Hawaii, and the epicenter was on the Big Island of Hawaii. Can the host confirm it?"
"I just saw the screen shaking. The news should be true."
"Nonsense, it's been reported in the news, of course it's true."
"Official news is here... Real-time news from the China Earthquake Network: At 21:50 Yanjing time, 3:50 am local time, a magnitude 4.3 earthquake occurred in the waters east of the Big Island of Hawaii (19.9° north latitude, 154.8° west longitude)
The earthquake's focal depth was 3.8 kilometers, and its focal point was only 35.5 kilometers away from the eastern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii."
After seeing the news in the chat area, people immediately posted emoticons of candles and hands together, saying that the deceased rests in peace.
"You're sick. Why are you burning candles? A 4.3-magnitude earthquake is a big deal to Hawaii. A volcanic island like Hawaii, which has an earthquake warning test, won't suffer much damage at all."
"What do you know? Undersea earthquakes can cause tsunamis. Do you know the destructive power of tsunamis?"
"As you know, I suggest you read more books."
There was a lot of noise in the chat area of the live broadcast room, which attracted Wang Shanshan's attention.
He asked Sha Hui, who was sitting next to him: "Sister Hui, do you think Gao Si and the others will be fine? This trip has been too rough. First, Gao Si was injured in an attack, and then there was an earthquake. I think
The location of the earthquake is very close to the sea. You said it won't really cause a tsunami."
Sha Hui said: "Generally speaking, no. The earthquake itself will not cause a tsunami. The necessary condition for a tsunami to occur is a large-scale rise and fall of sea water, which will trigger a tsunami. It has nothing to do with how far away from the shore it is."
Wang Shanshan still felt uneasy. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Gao Si's number again.
