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 378 There are aftershocks
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. I was scared to death. It was so terrifying just now!" The guard started to nag when he saw that Bi Qiaoan was in good condition.
Bi Qiaoan didn't take it seriously and just nodded in agreement with everything he said.
Her entire mind was occupied by the scene before her. The tent of the temporary restaurant collapsed, and a gully appeared on the ground not far away. The ruins in the distance were buried again.
"I'm so glad you're okay. With such a strong aftershock, I was really worried that you might have injured your stomach." As the guard said this, he picked up the coal stove, pots, and bowls scattered on the ground and placed them not far from the tent.
Bi Qiaoan came back to his senses and thanked the guard: "Thank you, it was thanks to my goose that I didn't get hurt this time."
"Ah? What happened?"
"Before the earthquake, it quacked to remind me, so I was able to hide in time and lie on the ground. I had a quilt to cushion me so I didn't get hurt.
If you don't prepare in advance, you might fall down due to such a strong shock, and the consequences will be serious." Bi Qiaoan said half-truthfully.
"I was wondering why I heard the goose calling just now. Turns out it sensed it in advance!" The guard was quite surprised.
"Well, but at that time I didn't know it was barking because there was danger, I just followed its meaning and hid back in the tent. If I had known earlier, I could have shouted and reminded you." Bi Qiaoan said this because she was worried that everyone would have opinions about her after knowing it.
But she didn't regret hiding back then. First, she wasn't sure what the goose meant, and if she told others, they wouldn't necessarily believe her. Second, the goose's cry was so urgent, she was afraid that danger would come quickly and she wouldn't have time to hide.
"Well, it's okay. You're pregnant, it's good that you can take care of yourself. And if you really run over to tell us, you might encounter an earthquake on the way and you won't be able to hide. In the future, when you encounter danger, don't just think about others, just take care of yourself."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I understand, I hope you don't blame me."
"Why should we blame you? This is a natural disaster, and humans cannot predict it. You are lucky to have the goose remind you. We are not qualified to ask you to do anything." The guard smiled and said, "Okay, rest assured, I will go back to help everyone clean up the mess."
"good!"
After the guards left, Bi Qiaoan squatted down, touched the goose's head and said, "Thanks to you just now, otherwise I don't know if I can keep my belly."
Then he picked a few strawberries from the space, put them in his palm and secretly fed them to the big goose.
After the big goose lay back in its nest contentedly, Bi Qiaoan, sitting in the tent, began to worry. He didn't know if Shen Yanming was okay, and whether Zhu Shiliang, Yu Shui and the others were safe.
Shen Yanming, who was worried about by Bi Qiaoan, had just crawled up from the ground. He was covered in dust and had several scratches on his face, which was bleeding.
Although he looked extremely embarrassed, he was lucky enough because he was out delivering supplies. When the aftershock occurred, he did not have time to react and fell to the ground, getting scratched by bricks and stones. As for his limbs and torso, they were fine and not injured at all.
He got up from the ground after the earthquake stopped. He felt a burning pain on his face. He took off his gloves, took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped his face, and found blood.
Without considering whether her face was disfigured, Shen Yanming was now worried about how Qiao An was doing, whether she had survived the aftershock, whether she was injured, and whether their baby was safe.
He wanted to run back and check right now, and he wanted to go into the space right now, but he couldn't, and he didn't dare. For the first time, he hated that there was no signal because of the earthquake, so he couldn't even get the news of whether his wife was safe in the first time.
Suddenly, Shen Yanming felt that there was something extra in the storage area. He used his consciousness to check and found that it was a note written by Bi Qiaoan, saying that she was fine and the baby was safe, and asked him to reply to him after he was out of danger.
Shen Yanming's heart finally settled down at this moment. He used his consciousness to write the word "An" on the back of the note, and then threw the note to the planting area through the transparent light curtain.
And Bi Qiaoan also felt it the moment the note came over. She was relieved when she saw Shen Yanming's words.
That's right, using notes to pass messages in the space was the method that Bi Qiaoan came up with when he was extremely worried. In this way, they can get each other's news even when it is inconvenient for them to enter the space. Happy!
At this time, Shen Yanming finally had the mood to check his wound, but now there was no mirror, no water, no cotton swab, and no alcohol. What should he do?
Even if you have energy rainwater, spiritual spring water and other scar removal tools, if your wound is stuck with dust, it will still have an impact on its healing process.
He looked up and saw that there was no one around. However, there was a supply truck parked not far away. Shen Yanming walked forward, drew some water drops from the space onto a paper towel, cleaned the wound with the help of the rearview mirror, and then considered his current situation.
The intensity of the aftershock just now was obviously stronger than the one he experienced in Hai City, but Su City was basically in ruins, and the victims who had been rescued before had been properly arranged. So the only things buried were the supplies and the guards who were working on the ruins.
Therefore, he needed to first check on their team to see how many people were buried and how many were injured, and then dig out the buried people based on the signal.
Act as soon as you think it through. Chen Yanming ran towards the rubble where he had been working before. After another collapse, the place had changed drastically. He could no longer tell where everyone had been working before.
However, there were quite a few people standing on the ruins, obviously they were not buried by the aftershocks just now. Shen Yanming couldn't help but pray in his heart, hoping that everyone would be safe.
But his prayers were of no use, because some people broke their arms and some people hit their heads in the accident.
Shen Yanming didn't care about the injured. He looked around but didn't see Li Gangtie and Zhou Qi, so he asked those who were still confused, "Where are Captain Li and Captain Zhou? Have you seen them?"
Everyone then realized that they didn't see the two captains.
At this time, someone weakly raised a big hand and said, "I remember that before the aftershock, they were moving bags of flour from the hole they dug. No, they were not buried, were they?"
Everyone was shocked, and Shen Yanming asked: "Where are they?"
The man pointed to a place not far away and said, "It's right there, about ten meters away."
"Got it. Anyone who is not injured, come with me to rescue them!"
