Chapter 484 The World is About to Be Destroyed
No one dared to delay, and they quickly packed up their things and drove away as fast as possible.
As soon as I walked away, there seemed to be another rumbling sound of collapse behind me.
The people in the car looked back with serious and panicked expressions.
No one rested that night and the long group traveled all night.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian listened with difficulty to the strange noise amid the sound of the car.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently again, scaring all the vehicles to stop.
The cars in front and behind were filled with screams of fear.
Along with the strong earthquake, there seemed to be a sound of collapse a few hundred meters away on the right.
"Let's go, get out of here."
Jiang Xian held the walkie-talkie and spoke in a deep voice.
The car sped up and was driving almost with difficulty.
Gu Luan sat in the passenger seat, biting her lower lip, her eyes fixed on the right.
She seemed to see deep pits one after another.
All the pits are like the bloody mouths of ferocious beasts, they want to devour everyone.
In the back seat of the car, Song Boyang, He Sheng and Liang Xu remained silent, but their eyes were filled with fear and worry.
They missed their relatives and friends at Jianggu Base and were afraid that something might have happened there too.
Fortunately, the car drove all night and nothing happened in the nearby cities.
In the morning, the large army stopped at an open space to rest and have a meal.
Jiang Xian sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed to rest, while Gu Luan sat in the driver's seat.
Zhang Yan came over quietly and whispered, "Gu Luan, come down and have breakfast."
Gu Luan got out of the car, and Zhang Yan asked her, "Why don't you call Jiang Xian?"
"He's been driving all night, let him rest."
Gu Luan shook her head and walked to the breakfast area with Zhang Yan.
Apart from the sounds of eating, almost no one was talking and the atmosphere was dull and depressing.
Gu Luan sat on a fallen dead tree with rice porridge in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, salted duck eggs and pickled mustard tubers are for you."
Jiang Huai handed the salted duck egg and pickled mustard to Gu Luan.
Gu Luan took it and said thank you.
Jiang Huai did not leave. After hesitating, he said, "Sister-in-law, do you think... do you think the world is going to be destroyed?"
Throughout the night, they saw no less than four or five collapsed ground areas, which were very large and deep.
They also experienced several earthquakes, both large and small, which were so terrifying that they all realized that something big was going to happen.
Natural disasters have never been so frequent and terrible. Even those strange red bugs want to escape.
It is conceivable that something really big might happen.
Perhaps, the world is slowly being destroyed.
Gu Luan paused while peeling the salt duck egg and replied in a low voice, "I don't know."
She really didn't know, and she didn't dare to know.
She was afraid that her wild thoughts would affect everyone.
Even though she had the same guess as everyone else, she just didn't dare to bear it now.
That day, she was in great torment.
Although Jiang Xian didn't say anything, she knew he was the same as her.
After breakfast, everyone continued on their way.
During the day, the scene outside can be seen clearly.
There were many depressions on the road in the distance, some large and some small, but each one was terribly deep.
No one dared to approach and could only watch from afar.
At noon, they approached the Jing City base. Before they got too close, they seemed to be able to hear the lively sounds coming from the base.
More than a dozen cars were parked under several trees, waiting anxiously.
As soon as they saw their vehicle, a dozen soldiers surrounded them.
Cao Gang, wearing his military uniform, scanned the car and quickly asked, "Is this Comrade Gu and Comrade Jiang's car?"
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian got out of the car and walked towards Cao Gang, "We are here."
When Cao Gang saw them, he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Comrades, I finally got you. Come back to the base with us. The base commander and the chief have something important to discuss with you."
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian heard the urgency in Cao Gang's tone and did not delay any longer.
Cao Gang probably had something else to say to Gu Luan and the others, so he got into their car.
Gu Luan was driving, Jiang Xian sat in the passenger seat, He Sheng got out of the car, and Song Boyang and Liang Xu were left in the back seat.
"Captain Cao, weren't you stationed at the seaside? When did you come back?"
Gu Luan asked while driving.
Cao Gang's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was haggard and pale. "Comrade Gu, Comrade Jiang, something big has happened."
Jiang Xian turned around and looked at Cao Gang, "What happened?"
Cao Gang rubbed his hands together, shaking uncontrollably, "The sea level is rising, and we are forced to evacuate."
After saying this, Cao Gang looked at Gu Luan and Jiang Xian with red eyes, "This is not a big deal. Last night...last night, the land in five provinces sank and was submerged by the sea."
"What?"
Gu Luan slammed on the brakes, his face changed drastically, and his hands holding the steering wheel were shaking.
When Song Boyang and Liang Xu heard this, their faces also changed drastically.
Jiang Xian held his breath, his throat was hoarse, "Everything sank? Is anyone alive?"
Cao Gang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, "No, there is no one."
The disaster came so suddenly that no one had time to react. Five provinces sank almost instantly at night and no one escaped.
Gu Luan leaned back in his chair, his eyes red, and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
There were at least tens of millions of people in those five provinces, and they were gone just like that?
Human beings have been fighting against natural disasters for so long that there are only about 100 million people left, and now tens of millions have died.
"We have detected that the sea level is rising and the land is disappearing. I am afraid that this will not work... the world will disappear too."
"Right now, the higher-ups are discussing how to deal with the upcoming massive natural disaster. The commander hopes you can join him. Let me wait for you."
With so many things happening outside, the commander of the base knew that Gu Luan and Jiang Xian would definitely rush back to the base, so he sent him to guard the place they had to pass last night.
He waited for a long time and fortunately met the two people at noon.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian looked at each other, their eyes filled with turbulent emotions.
Is this day finally coming?
From the earthquake to the ground collapse, they had already guessed it, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon, leaving them no chance to react.
After living in the apocalypse for seven difficult years, can we still escape the destruction of the world in the end?
The car drove into the base quickly, attracting a lot of people's attention.
"What's going on? The atmosphere in the base seems strange today?"
"Yes, the military officials seem very anxious."
The uninformed people were talking about it, but they had no idea what was going on.
The car was driving in the base, and Gu Luan saw people who looked like they were from the Guangshi base.
Gu Luan thought again of the food in the Guangshi base in the space. She didn’t have time to return it to them now.
The car continued driving and finally arrived in front of a majestic and tall building.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian got out of the car, and Song Boyang and Liang Xu stood behind them with heavy expressions.
"Go back and inform Fu Xinran, and ask them to pack up and come to the Jing City base."
Gu Luan thought for a moment and continued, "Take everything with you and be quick."
Song Boyang and Liang Xu answered together, "Okay, we'll go back right away."
After listening to the conversation between Cao Gang and Gu Luan, they realized the urgency of the matter and dared not delay.
Cao Gang led Gu Luan and Jiang Xian into the hall, ready to take them to the meeting room.
When they arrived outside the meeting room, they could already hear a heated discussion inside.
The two stood outside and did not go in. They returned to the hall and sat down.
Jiang Xian held Gu Luan's hand and found that her palm was cold.
"Why is it so cold?"
He frowned, wrapped his hands around Gu Luan's hands, and rubbed them gently.
