Chapter 203
"Honey, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
Using Zhang Dong's body, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
Hearing the woman beside him call out, Chen Xuan turned his head and glanced at her, but did not speak.
Instead, they rushed straight to the well to check.
At this moment, the well was bubbling and gurgling, emitting a bright red liquid that looked like blood.
Chen Xuan hadn't expected the well to be so deep; the red blood resembling stalactite liquid was evidence of it.
Chen Xuan made calculations with his fingers, a murderous aura emanating from his brows.
The woman from Sichuan and Chongqing had never seen her husband act like this before; it was as if he had become a completely different person.
"Master, is that you?"
Chen Xuan did not answer. After finishing his calculations, he took out his phone from Zhang Dong's pocket and quickly dialed a number.
Because it was an unfamiliar number, the other party didn't answer the phone the first three times.
After Chen Xuan manually edited a text message and sent it, the other party actually called back immediately.
The newcomer spoke in a low voice, as if Chen Xuan had caught him red-handed, and was very cautious.
Chen Xuan gave a brief self-introduction, and then said, "You should immediately order the alarms to be sounded in the eastern and western districts of Longming County. At the same time, use various means such as bank branches, bank text messages, social media videos, and television stations to notify the civilians in these two areas to leave their homes within forty minutes and rush to the western and southern districts to avoid the impending major earthquake."
Chen Xuan's words contained too much information. If he followed them, the consequences would be even greater. He might not only lose his official position, but also face criminal charges.
Moreover, Chen Xuan was a high-ranking official, and he had no idea what Chen Xuan was in charge of.
"Who are you? Do you know how much the government will pay for doing this?"
How did you know about those things?
The man's voice was filled with anger, "Major earthquake? If there were really strong geological activity nearby, the higher-ups would have already sent word. I can't make the people of two districts relocate and hide in a short time based on your baseless words."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan glanced at his phone and shook his head slightly. "Your career ended the moment you accepted bribes to approve the Dragon Roar Mountains project."
Chen Xuan stopped arguing with the county's top official and hung up the phone, then called the second-in-command instead.
"Hello, who is this?"
"My name is Chen Xuan. Time is of the essence, so I will only say one thing: the people behind the Dragon Roar Mountain project are Xiao Rizi. They used the engineering equipment to alarm the earth dragon, and now they have succeeded."
"What? You're Chen Xuan, the Chen Xuan from Tangwu City?"
"You know me?" Chen Xuan asked, puzzled.
"Sigh, Master, I'll explain this to you later. I disagreed with the Longyin Mountain project when the county magistrate approved it, but alas..."
"Ten minutes later, heavy rain will come, and thirty minutes later, the thirty-mile-long mountain range surrounding Longyin County will collapse, followed by floods and mudslides."
"What!?"
"Master, what should I do?" the second-in-command asked in astonishment.
Chen Xuan quickly and briefly explained his plan.
"Alright, I will report this matter to the prefect immediately."
"Hmph, even at this point you're still passing the buck and shirking responsibility? By the time you report to your superiors and get a response, how are people supposed to evacuate in ten or twenty minutes? Where is there any time left to evacuate?"
"I'm sorry, Master Chen, I have to follow the procedures. I have no choice."
The man seemed to be able to imagine the serious consequences of losing his composure. He was clearly just a second-in-command, so why should he take on such a thankless and heavy responsibility?
"What a wonderful saying: 'To have no faults is to have merit.'"
The momentary sense of powerlessness made Chen Xuan sigh.
Although the Yin God has already set off, Tangwu City is nearly two thousand miles away from the heart of Sichuan and Chongqing. Even if the Yin God advances to the ninth level of perfection, it will still take time to travel through the fog.
But where do the hundreds of thousands of people living at the foot of the mountains find any spare time?
The woman from Sichuan and Chongqing thought that the Taoist priest possessing her husband would easily solve her problems.
But after those two phone calls, which they had been listening to right next to them, their faces immediately turned incredibly grim.
