Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 349 Earthquake

Chapter 349 Earthquake

Shen Yanming and Zhu Shiliang were sitting in the car. They were very happy because they had completed the formalities today. They drove and talked along the way, driving slowly back.

As for Bi Qiaoan, she was holding Zhu Ranran's left hand, holding a parasol with her right hand, carrying a backpack behind her, and with a big belly in front of her.

The sun was scorching outside, and even the parasol couldn't completely block it. It was stuffy and hot under the umbrella, making her sweat profusely.

She wanted to walk faster, but her physical condition didn't allow it, and she was panting slightly with every step.

Just as she reached the center of Fenglai Plaza, Bi Qiaoan felt her legs shaking and her feet were unstable as if she was stepping on cotton.

She didn't understand why her body suddenly became so delicate. When she was about to say something, she heard Zhu Ranran exclaim, "Aunt Qiao An, the ground is moving?"

At this moment, Bi Qiaoan suddenly felt a violent shaking, and she was a little unstable. Zhu Ranran supported her in time, and then they looked up and saw that the electric poles and trees around Fenglai Square were shaking left and right with a visible amplitude.

"Earthquake!" Bi Qiaoan murmured in disbelief, and then quickly squatted with Zhu Ranran. But she was a pregnant woman, and squatting was really uncomfortable, so she simply sat down and lay on the ground.

The floor, scorched by the sun, was so hot that you could fry eggs on it. As soon as Bi Qiaoan's arm touched the ground, it was retracted with a "hiss".

In order to avoid getting burned, she didn't care about whether she was exposed or not. She bent her legs together, leaving only her feet and buttocks touching the ground, and hugged her head with her arms to avoid touching the ground. As for her head, she rested it on her backpack.

Actually, it's a bit like the sit-up position.

As for Zhu Ranran, she listened to Bi Qiaoan's words, squatted beside her with her hands on her head, looking very uneasy, tears rolled in her eyes for a few times, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"bump!"

“Crash!”

“Boom!”

Listening to the sound of heavy objects falling around her, Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but feel fortunate that she and Zhu Ranran went out to buy ice cream.

If the little guy hadn't been greedy, she might have been trapped in the office today. Although she had space and was not in any fatal danger, she couldn't let anyone discover this secret until she was desperate.

She thought of Shen Yanming. She didn't know where her husband was. What should she do if he was trapped in a building?

After he left, he didn't tell me which unit to go to to handle the procedures. If something happened, I wouldn't know where to find him even if I wanted rescue.

Also, if the situation there is serious, would the space have been exposed?

Bi Qiaoan's thoughts kept turning, but she knew her husband's trump card, so she remained calm.

But Zhu Ranran was different. He was only six years old and had never seen an earthquake. He was terrified by the rumbling sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Not only was he worried about his parents, he was also frightened by this scene he had never experienced before.

He could no longer control his tears and sobbed quietly.

Bi Qiaoan noticed the movement beside her. She raised her right hand and touched Zhu Ranran's head. She said gently, "Don't be afraid. It's just an earthquake. We won't be in danger here. As for your father, he is with Uncle Yanming. He should be able to escape danger."

Bi Qiaoan didn't dare to tell Fu Shuling, because she didn't know what the other person was like. Moreover, it was still unknown where the epicenter was and what magnitude the earthquake was.

"Really? Will Dad really be okay?" Zhu Ranran asked anxiously after hearing Bi Qiaoan's comfort.

I don't know why he didn't ask my mother. Is it because I didn't mention it when I was talking just now? Bi Qiaoan didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Yes, there will be no danger to life!"

She couldn't guarantee that the other party was intact, but since she was with Shen Yanming, it should be no problem to save her life.

The two people being discussed were squatting beside the car.

When they discovered the earthquake, they were on the right side of a road. There were green belts on both sides of the road, with short bushes planted. Shen Yanming immediately drove the car to the middle of two street lights and stopped, then he and Zhu Shiliang got out of the car and hid on the right side of the car door.

At this moment, he was thinking, what will his wife do? Will she be scared? Will she hide under the table and wait for the earthquake to end, or will she try to run to an open area outside the building? But with her big belly, can she run?

Although there were bushes on both sides of the road, the residential area was 200 meters away. Shen Yanming listened to the sound of glass breaking, the sound of GG signs collapsing, and people crying, shouting and screaming not far away, and his heart was in turmoil!

At this moment, he really wanted to teleport back to Bi Qiaoan, but he couldn't.

Shen Yanming felt like every second seemed like an eternity.

Until the earthquake was over, he immediately opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and rushed out without saying anything to Zhu Shiliang.

He drove very fast and ignored many passers-by who stopped the car to ask for help. Zhu Shiliang knew that he was worried about Bi Qiaoan, and he was also anxious to see if Zhu Ranran was safe.

The two of them were silent the whole way, took several detours, and spent twice as long as usual to reach the outside of the office building.

Although the building did not collapse, it looked extremely dilapidated, with broken glass all over the floor and cracks on the walls.

My colleagues were standing or sitting outside in the square, all of them looking happy to have survived. Some of them were injured, with blood on their faces and arms. Judging from the wounds, they were probably scratched by sharp objects.

They sat on the ground dejectedly, without bandaging their wounds, but just wiped them with toilet paper.

Shen Yanming and Zhu Shiliang were moving through the crowd, both of them anxious, but they couldn't find Bi Qiaoan and Zhu Ranran.

Until he saw Yu Shui, Shen Yanming grabbed his arm and asked anxiously: "Where is Qiao An? Why can't I see Qiao An?"

"You're back!" Yu Shui was still in a daze due to fear, and only came back to his senses when he was hurt by Shen Yanming's scratches.

"I asked you where Qiao An is. How come you all came out but she's not here? Did you leave her in the building?" Chen Yanming's eyes were red with anger. He let go of Yu Shui and was about to run into the building.

Yu Shui finally realized what he had asked and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Qiao An is not in the building. She, she went out before the earthquake!"

Shen Yanming stopped, turned around, and asked in disbelief, "He went out?"

“Yeah, with Ranran, they…” Before Yu Shui could finish his words, the LED display screen twenty meters behind Shen Yanming fell down.

"Oh my god, if Xiao Shen didn't stop, wouldn't he be hit?"

Zhu Shiliang, who was following behind the two men, was bent over, breathing heavily with his hands on his knees, and was frightened by the scene just now.
