Chapter 730 The tsunami is coming

Yang Jing's words were proven five minutes later.

Facing more than a dozen Americans with live ammunition, these Filipino servants and the butler had no way to stop them from entering this villa. Originally, when facing the Americans, the Filipinos were involuntarily short, let alone these people carrying guns, so Yang Jing and the others entered the villa smoothly.

This is obviously a vacation villa of a wealthy man. Because the villa is large in size, almost all the mountaintops are occupied by this villa. The main body of the villa is a steel-concrete structure building with a length of more than 30 meters, a width of more than 20 meters, a height of three and a half floors, and a white steel-concrete structure. It is precisely because this building is a solid steel-concrete structure that in the earthquake just now, the villa was almost unscathed, but several of the outer walls collapsed.

After parked the car, Chris and the others were responsible for moving all the things on the car to the third floor of the villa. Yang Jing and Princess accompanied the butler to a large bedroom on the third floor of the villa. There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window to the south of the bedroom, where you can clearly see the sea in the southeast.

"Sir, will there really be a tsunami in a while?" the butler asked carefully.

Although the two people in front of them look like Chinese, they have more than a dozen bodyguards to protect them, and they are more powerful than their boss and are definitely not small people. So the butler also recognized Yang Jing and Princess.

Yang Jing nodded. He had a good impression of the old housekeeper. "When the earthquake just happened, we were on the road below. We were originally planning to follow the road to Ponaniban in the north, but we witnessed everything that happened just now..."

Before he finished speaking, the ground shook again. Needless to say, there was an aftershock. However, this aftershock lasted only a few seconds and did not cause any damage.

"According to my estimate, the magnitude of the seabed earthquake just now must exceed magnitude 8. Such a strong seabed earthquake will inevitably trigger a large-scale tsunami. If you went down the mountain just now, once the tsunami comes, you will have no place to hide!"

Yang Jing said as he pointed to the hills below, "And the mountain where this villa is located is the highest mountain around, with an altitude of about 500 meters, right?"

"That's right, sir, the altitude of this mountain is 507 meters, which is the highest mountain nearby. At that time, our master chose to build a vacation villa here because it was the highest mountain around.

Yang Jing nodded, "Look, once a tsunami occurs, if the maximum impact height of the tsunami is four times the tsunami height, peaks below 200 meters are very dangerous. The altitude here exceeds 500 meters. Unless the height of the tsunami can exceed 100 meters, the tsunami cannot hit such a high altitude. Moreover, the surrounding mountains are lower than here, and there is no obstacle from other mountains. The tsunami can also directly over those peaks, thereby reducing the impact on the here."

After a pause, Yang Jing turned his head to look at the old housekeeper and continued: "So, from the current situation, unless we have a large helicopter that will pull us all away before the tsunami comes, it is the safest here."

This analysis gave the old housekeeper a little more convincing and gratitude. He was about to say something when the bedroom door was pushed open. Chris and the others all walked in. Chris was holding several military telescopes in his hand.

Yang Jing took a telescope and handed it to the princess, and then said to the old housekeeper: "These are my bodyguards. If there is anything rude about their actions just now, please forgive me."

"It's okay, if it were me, I might have done this under the current circumstances. There is nothing wrong with you, your wife and them here..."

"Yang Jing!" The princess, who was holding a telescope and watching the sea in the distance, suddenly turned her head and shouted, "Look at if that was a tsunami?"

Princess handed over the telescope, Yang Jing put the telescope in front of him, adjusted it a little and then began to watch it carefully.

The telescope in Yang Jing's hand is a Type 95 7*40 military telescope equipped by the Chinese military, which can clearly see the target seven kilometers away. At this time, standing here, the distance to see is even longer.

A thin white line appeared on the sea surface about twenty kilometers ahead. Even if you look at it with a telescope, you can only barely see that it was a white line. However, the speed of this white line moving forward was extremely terrifying. In just a few seconds, the white line turned into a churning wave in the telescope.

"It's a tsunami!" Yang Jing put down the telescope and said, "And the height of the tsunami should be not low, we must be mentally prepared!"

As soon as Yang Jing finished speaking, Chris, who was standing beside him and watching the sea in the distance with a telescope, also said: "BOSS, it is indeed a tsunami that has arrived. According to my estimate, the speed of the tsunami is close to 800 kilometers per hour, and the height is more than 30 meters, or even forty meters high!"

At this time, everyone heard a strange sound, which seemed to be the sound waves generated by several large passenger planes when they passed by the ground and sky, which was very similar to the strange sounds they heard before the earthquake.

The appearance of this sound made the old housekeeper tremble immediately.

"Yes, it's this sound! This is the sound of a tsunami!" said the old housekeeper in horror. "On Christmas in 2004, I was on vacation with my family in Badong. That day, this sound also appeared when the tsunami came..."

Seeing the old butler trembling, Yang Jing was also speechless. He did not expect that the old butler beside him was actually a survivor in the Indian Ocean tsunami.

"At that time, such a sound came from the sky. At first we thought it was a plane flying by, but no one cared about it, but soon, the overwhelming waves came. The waves were fifty meters high, and countless people were swept away like ants, and then disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, my family and I were in the villa on the mountain in the east of Badong that day, which was also a vacation villa for our master..."

"Damn it, the height of this tsunami is more than forty meters! BOSS, we must be mentally prepared!" Chris, who was standing beside him, interrupted the old butler's nagging.

At this time, the waves that could only be seen in the telescope just now were completely presented to everyone's eyes. Even without using the telescope, you can see a tall wall of water rushing towards it at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone could even see several yachts that could not be avoided, almost instantly being rolled away by this huge water wall. Looking at those yachts at this distance, the yachts were as big as ants, but this could further highlight the height of the water wall.

At this time, the sound similar to the sound of a jet plane flying by has completely turned into a "rumbling" sound. Then, under this sound that was like a thousand troops advancing together, this huge water wall, which was absolutely more than 40 meters in height, hit the island's coastline with a destructive aura. The coastline and everything on the coast were swallowed up in almost a few seconds...

Like the earthquake just now, no one present had seen the tsunami with his own eyes. At this time, everyone was stunned as he watched the tsunami sweeping everything.

Moreover, compared with the earthquake just now and the eruption of Mount Marong in the distance, this overwhelming tsunami happened under the nose. The shock and fear were really incomparable to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

The huge water wall swept across everything on the coast with a devastating momentum, such as houses, fishing boats, yachts, cars and trees, and they were all fragile like grass in front of this devastating tsunami.

The waves spread across the city of Bato below with an unyielding momentum, over the gradually drying Bato River, over the peak of a mountain with an altitude of one or two hundred meters, and whistled towards the peak. Some of the sea water flowed back into the river channel of the Bato River, forming a huge wave that was dozens of meters high and quickly advanced along the river channel. All objects blocking the river channel will be swallowed and destroyed by this terrifying wave.

Everyone's faces turned pale. In the face of such a terrifying catastrophe, people were too fragile. This instinctive fear was not transferred by human will at all.

The princess hugged Yang Jing's arm tightly and asked with a pale face: "Yang Jing, do you think we can avoid the tsunami here?"

Yang Jing looked down at his beloved woman, hugged her with his arms, and said warmly: "Don't worry, the tsunami cannot come from us. Look, after the tsunami has crossed several peaks, the end of the tsunami has become much weaker. The peaks below can well block the impact of the tsunami, and we are safe here."

Yang Jing's words made Princess feel much more at ease, Chris and the others' faces looked much better, and the butler knelt on the ground and didn't know which god he was praying to.

Yang Jing made a very accurate judgment. Although the tsunami looks extremely amazing, the peak they are located in is the highest nearby. There are several shorter peaks between this peak and the coast. After the tsunami has passed these low peaks, the end of the tsunami has indeed been weakened a lot.

In the end, the waves only surged halfway up the mountain and were no longer able to rush up, but continued to rush forward along the valley and those low peaks...

The first wave of the tsunami is the most powerful. As long as the first wave cannot rush up, everyone will be almost safe.

Chris and the others sat on the ground with their powerless but in just a few minutes just now, but for everyone it seemed as long as several centuries had passed. At this time, the greatest danger had passed, and everyone seemed to have been removed from their bones.

Yang Jing hugged the princess and walked to the butler, "Okay, stop praying, the biggest danger has passed, we are safe. Do you have a lot of food storage in your villa? Also, is there any freshwater source here? And, what's your name?"

The old butler raised his head and asked in surprise: "Sir, has the danger really passed?"

Yang Jing nodded.

The old housekeeper then stood up and looked outside, then made a cross on his chest. It seemed that the old housekeeper was Christian.

"Sir, my name is Noninho Lopez." The old housekeeper calmed down and said, "The villa was only replenished with a batch of food. Originally, these foods could be eaten for eight of us for a week. Sir, you are here. If you save on eating these foods, you can eat them for three or four days at most. As for the tamsui, you don't have to worry about it. There is a tamsui well in the backyard of the villa."

Yang Jing nodded, then said to Chris and the others: "Hurry up, find all the clean containers in the villa and go to the backyard immediately to accumulate more fresh water. A tsunami and earthquake broke out, and the groundwater source may not be polluted at this time, so we must store some fresh water as soon as possible. If it is dragged for a long time, I am afraid that the water in the fresh water well will not be able to drink it."

When Chris heard this, he immediately pointed out the names of several people and asked them to follow the chef in the villa to go to the kitchen, and most of the containers were placed in the kitchen.

Yang Jing also said: "Come all the food together, eat fresh food that is not convenient to preserve, and put the food with packaging and long shelf life behind. Guys, there have been such serious natural disasters, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and upcoming typhoons, especially volcanic eruptions and upcoming typhoons, which will definitely greatly affect the rescue operations of the Philippine authorities. That is to say, we are very likely to be trapped here for a while, so whether it is fresh water or food, we must save some use."

Yang Jing said this very much. In this case, with the capabilities of the Philippine authorities, it is certain that they will be trapped here for a while. After all, this place has only suffered tsunamis and earthquakes. Luzon Island across the bay has also added a violent eruption of Mount Marong, which is even more severely affected.

Especially near Marong Volcano, there are cities like Legaspi, with a population of nearly 200,000, and on the east coast of various islands in the Philippines, there are many cities with a large population. Even if the Philippine authorities want to rescue disasters, they will definitely be anxious about these places first. As for the isolated island of Catandoness, which is a grandmother who doesn’t love his uncle and doesn’t love him, wait...

Chris said: "Boss, the tsunami just now will definitely drive some animals to this mountain. Sean and I will go out for a walk to see if we can catch some prey and also add more food to us."

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Now there is no electricity and the refrigerator cannot be used. In this kind of weather, even if you catch prey, it cannot be stored for a long time."

After hearing Yang Jing's words, the old butler immediately said: "Sir, because the electricity on the island is not stable and there are often power outages, there are diesel generators in the basement of the villa, and there are enough diesel. If we save some use, these diesels will be enough for us to use for a while. Also, there are two sets of mobile solar panels in the villa. Although the power is not very large, as long as there is sun, the daily electricity used in the villa is fine."

"Well, that's great. But we can't waste diesel. This way, the solar panels all come with batteries, but a typhoon is about to come. Solar energy will definitely not be used in the past few days. Some electrical appliances that consume high power can be used without them. Let the battery power supply only power to the lighting. Now we can't leave here, so we must plan to save ourselves."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements now." Chris walked out quickly.
