Chapter 1030 Natural Disaster Emerges

Ye Wanxi felt that these items were too ordinary and did not seem to be the work of her master. She wanted to leave them in the tomb to search further and see if there were any other items that had escaped her notice.

Before she could even utter a word, the ground beneath her feet suddenly began to shake.

This sudden turn of events caused Ye Wanxi to shake violently, almost falling over.

Seeing this, Feng Tianyu quickly hugged her. After finally regaining his balance, he noticed the dust above the tomb chamber and the fragments of the walls falling down with a thud.

"Is this...an earthquake?"

"Oh no, the tomb is about to collapse, we have to get out of here right away."

Ye Wanxi could no longer study the tomb, and the three of them rushed out of the tomb chamber as fast as they could.

When their feet landed in the forest outside the tomb, the ground shook and the mountain shattered, and a loud bang came from the location of the tomb.

A few seconds later, the mountain in the direction of the tomb collapsed slightly, as if a large pit had suddenly appeared in what was originally a flat desert.

Clearly, this imperial tomb, which was only recently discovered and has not yet been fully explored and studied, has collapsed!

"Why is there an earthquake? Did we touch something we shouldn't have inside?"

"No, it doesn't have much to do with us." Jun Wuduan took out his phone and glanced at it. "A few minutes ago, there was a minor earthquake of magnitude 6 in the next city. We were probably just affected."

"Was there an earthquake in the next city? How are the people there? Were there many casualties?"

The resurgence of spiritual energy has had far greater consequences than people imagined. Some natural disasters that were originally predictable have become unpredictable and impossible to prevent.

Upon hearing that there had been an earthquake in the neighboring city, and that it was a magnitude 6 earthquake, Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and her attention was immediately drawn away from the collapsed graves.

"It's not clear yet. But the people over there should have already started the rescue."

Recently, there have been frequent occurrences of mutated plants and animals, and special teams have been established in various provinces and cities to deal with unexpected emergencies. This will come in handy.

After such an incident, Ye Wanxi and the others couldn't care less about the ruins and hurriedly went down the mountain.

Ye Wanxi first called Gao Min to confirm that although they had felt a slight tremor at home, no one was injured and everything was safe.

Afterwards, he called Madam Feng and Du Yihuan to confirm that they were alright, and finally called Xiao Jihui, but unexpectedly, He Ziyuan answered the phone.

"Vice Minister Xiao went to the next city? He went in person?" Ye Wanxi almost thought she had misheard.

Why would Xiao Jihui, an ordinary person with no magical powers and a person in charge capable of making decisions, go to the neighboring city for no reason? Could it be that there is someone in the neighboring city who is particularly important to him?

He Ziyuan chuckled and said, "The deputy minister said that the neighboring city is close to our city and has always had very friendly business and cultural exchanges with our city. In these turbulent times, we need to support each other and overcome difficulties together."

"So it's most appropriate for him to go in person. This will show that we value the neighboring city. If something goes wrong here in the future, the neighboring city will definitely not stand idly by, considering what we have done this time."

It sounded plausible, but Ye Wanxi had a gut feeling that things weren't that simple.

Turning her head again, she met her senior brother's expression, which was mixed with a bit of annoyance and regret.

Ye Wanxi: "..." The case is solved. What mutual support and overcoming difficulties together? It sounds so high-sounding. I'm afraid she's hiding because she's worried about being confronted by her senior brother!

But Xiao Jihui is not to blame. He is right. The world is not peaceful. The appearance of mutated plants and animals is enough to make ordinary people live in fear and have a hard time surviving.

Then an earthquake occurs. If not handled properly, it could become the last straw that breaks the camel's back and cause a person to collapse.

Especially shortly afterward, everyone realized that this earthquake was just the beginning.

[Waaaaah, there was an earthquake here, a magnitude 6! The house shook so badly. Thankfully it was afternoon, and thankfully my house wasn't shoddy; although the walls cracked a bit, at least it didn't collapse, and no one in my family was injured. The family next door had just built a small, flimsy shed. When the earthquake struck, the shed collapsed, and the whole family was trapped inside. Although rescue workers arrived quickly, I don't know if they'll be rescued. I was so scared!]

[It's snowing heavily here, can you imagine? In this sweltering southern region, I've seen frost several times before, let alone snow. Suddenly, a blizzard started, and the temperature plummeted below zero. Now I'm huddled at home, shivering, my limbs are freezing, and I feel like I'm about to freeze to death.]

【Yours is snowing, mine is a torrential downpour, a once-in-a-century torrential downpour. I heard that a few years ago, people cut down all the trees on the mountainside to sell for money. This rain caused a landslide, blocking the road. The houses of several families built at the foot of the mountain have been washed away, I don't know where. It's terrifying.】

[It sounds like there are natural disasters everywhere? Mine is even more outrageous: smog in the morning, a sandstorm at noon, and a tornado in the afternoon. Good grief, it really leaves no way out; I've been hiding at home shivering all day.]

"I'm okay here, but in the city next door, near the sea, they're reportedly hit by a typhoon, a category 15 typhoon. My friend from that city said she's never seen such a strong typhoon in her life. The houses are shaking violently, and we're afraid to open the windows for fear of being swept away and killed."

Is this the end of the world? Not only are plants and animals mutating, but there are also all sorts of natural disasters. It's like they're trying to wipe us out completely! Can we even survive? Waaaaah…

[There's no need to be so pessimistic. Go look at the reports from the disaster area; the domestic response has been extremely swift. While natural disasters are unavoidable, everyone has done their best to minimize the losses. Look at the international news; it's not just us experiencing various natural disasters.]

[Yes, a volcano that hadn't erupted in seventy or eighty years erupted, an earthquake triggered a massive tsunami, there was thunder and lightning, sandstorms, mudslides, red tides, and even a meteorite that caused wildfires. It really felt like the apocalypse depicted in movies. But compared to them, our response here was incredibly fast.]

[Yes, yes. Putting aside distant examples, when it comes to dealing with mutated plants and animals, and even villains who possess supernatural abilities after mutation, we're miles ahead of the rest of the world. Whenever I feel unlucky or that life is too hard, I look around and realize how incredibly fortunate we are.]

This statement unexpectedly gained the approval of many people. The emergence of mutated plants and animals as well as various natural disasters has caused fear and panic among countless people. However, some domestic measures have greatly calmed everyone's anxiety. Not to mention the distant past, the handling of people with superpowers in various places can be said to have been quite prescient.
