Dilip Eris's hair stood on end as he raised his voice, "A tsunami over 40 meters high?"
"What's the casualty situation?"
"Give me the statistics from the scene immediately!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand towards his secretary, indicating that he should cancel his own itinerary. At the same time, he waited with a stern expression for the response on the phone.
When he heard the voice on the other end of the phone say, "The earthquake caused 17 deaths, 24 serious injuries, and 1 missing person," Dilip Eris was stunned for a moment.
Then he asked incredulously into the phone, "What did you just say?"
"17 deaths, 24 serious injuries, and 1 missing person," repeated the person in charge of the Peacock Prefecture Emergency Management Agency on the other end of the phone.
Dilip Eris's voice became angry, "A 6.2 magnitude earthquake, plus a tsunami over 40 meters high, with a wave speed of at least 700 kilometers per hour. And only 17 deaths and 24 injuries from such a disaster? Mr. Bangjil, do you think I don't have professional knowledge?"
"Eris, I absolutely don't mean that!" Bangjil explained hastily, "This is all thanks to a 'prophet' from the Daxia Prefecture."
When Dilip Eris heard this, his face already showed some anger, "Mr. Bangjil, my time is precious!"
"On this matter, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I will consider that you are not suitable for the position of head of the Emergency Management Agency!"
After speaking, his face showed even more anger!
But after he listened to Bangjil's explanation about the 'prophet' predicting the earthquake and tsunami, as well as the investigation led by the Daxia Prefecture's top geologist, Gu Qingshan, and the proactive negotiations and reminders from the Daxia Prefecture, Dilip Eris's face, filled with anger, instantly stiffened!
He didn't recover from his daze until a long time after hanging up the phone.
His secretary and the other officials who were with him hurriedly approached him and asked with concern, "Eris, what's wrong?"
Dilip Eris finally came to his senses, but his gaze still seemed unfocused. He placed his hands behind his back and turned his back to the crowd before slowly speaking.
"Just now, the Peacock Prefecture prevented a strong earthquake and tsunami for the first time in history!"
"This is great news!"
"Is it because one of our earthquake research institutes made a major breakthrough in predicting earthquake disasters?"
"Or did the Emergency Management Agency discover something unusual in advance?"
When the officials with him became excited and curious, Dilip Eris shook his head, "It's not either of those."
"It's because of a 'prophet' from the Daxia Prefecture!"
The people on the scene looked at each other in confusion.
Even though Dilip Eris had his back to them, he knew their every move. He too had been shocked at first.
With a light sigh, he turned around and continued, "About four days ago, he predicted on the Daxia Prefecture's universal social platform, 'Qianzhong,' and the universal social platform outside the prefecture, 'Wanlian,' that there would be a 6.2 magnitude earthquake and tsunami 31 kilometers south of Elfa City!"
"The top geologist from the Daxia Prefecture, Gu Qingshan, even led a team to fly to Elfa City for field exploration! And they issued a warning to the Emergency Management Agency of Baosuo Island!"
"And this afternoon, the Daxia Prefecture even raised the issue and warned us in the name of the Safety Agency!"
"Our Emergency Management Agency has prevented a major disaster unprecedented in history thanks to the prediction of that 'prophet'!"
"This time, our Peacock Prefecture owes the Daxia Prefecture a huge favor!"
The people on the scene looked at each other again.
But they knew that Dilip Eris was right.
The prediction of the 'prophet' had saved the lives of at least several hundred thousand people on this land of Elfa City, and had made the Peacock Prefecture the first major prefecture in the current technological world to successfully prevent an earthquake and tsunami in advance.
This time, they really owed a huge favor to the Daxia Prefecture, or perhaps to the 'prophet.'
On the other side, in the city of Elfa on Basaku Island in Peacock Province, there was an extreme silence and darkness. Gu Qingshan had already joined the team from the Dai Xia Geological Institute's safe shelter observation point. At this point, everyone in the team was looking towards the city that had fallen into quiet darkness in the distance. They completely ignored the fact that there were over seven million live viewers in the broadcast room, as well as the surging barrage and donations.
It wasn't until several minutes of staring into the distance of darkness that the tsunami gradually receded, and it seemed that the earthquake had truly passed. Gu Qingshan then refocused his gaze on the camera in the live broadcast room and asked, "Are you there, Prophet?"
Having witnessed the whole process of the Prophet's prophecy and seeing every detail come true, Gu Qingshan was now in complete awe of the Prophet. However, at the same time, he had too many questions and doubts about the entire prophecy. He urgently needed to have a deep conversation with the Prophet.
As Gu Qingshan asked his question, the barrage that had been surging like a tide suddenly became quiet. Obviously, the over seven million viewers in the live broadcast room were also watching, curious, and waiting for the final answer to the question. Even the team from the Dai Xia Geological Institute, who had been focusing on the city of Elfa, had now gathered their attention.
Everyone was full of expectation, but unfortunately, after a long wait, there was no response. People sighed and felt slightly disappointed. Gu Qingshan also let out a sigh, then continued speaking into the camera, "Perhaps you're really not there. I hope we have the chance to have a face-to-face conversation someday. However, before that, there are a few things I want to say to the Prophet from the bottom of my heart. I hope the viewers can allow me to use this public platform to express my thoughts."
As Gu Qingshan spoke, the barrage once again surged. Even the entire network in the Dai Xia Province exploded at this moment. Countless people returned to the "Thousands of People" platform, reposted the Prophet's post, shared screenshots and recordings of the live broadcast, and published relevant articles on their own social media accounts. At this moment, they were all united in witnessing history, and proud to do so under the guidance of the Prophet.
There was no doubt that Jiang Feng's earthquake prophecy on the "Thousands of People" platform had benefited from this wave of powerful publicity, and it directly topped the hot search list. Even the new topic that emerged after the earthquake prophecy was fulfilled, "Prophet accurately hits earthquake, filling the gap in world earthquake history," was pushed to second place on the hot search list.
But it didn't end there. Following in third place on the hot search list was still a topic related to Gu Qingshan's live broadcast room and the Prophet.
